Chapter 203: The End

Hearing this number, the emperor's eyes instantly sharpened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

For example, today, where can anyone have so much floating wealth except his treasury? One hundred thousand taels of gold! That's almost half the size of the national treasury.

All the ministers present were shocked, 100,000 taels ...... Gold!

There was only one exception, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was pale and dumbfounded. When the other party said the words "Longtai Bookstore", he had a premonition. By the time he heard that all the gold had been transported to Jingzhao Mansion and seized, he was completely stupid.

Rong Guogong tilted his head slightly, looking at the prince who was pestle there like a fool, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Stupid!

After the shock just now, the emperor slowly calmed down. He slowly returned to the dragon chair, his eyes scanned the courtiers in the hall, and finally stopped at the crown prince who was still standing on the spot.

100,000 taels...... Gold! A number that is enough to form an army. Very good!

The emperor's sharp eyes shot at Jing Zhaoyin, "Check it out for me, who opened that Longtai Bookstore, and where did you get that gold?" Also, in this case, there is no one who commits suicide in fear of sin! ”

The emperor's voice was calm and slow, but it was full of supreme majesty, which made everyone present feel like their hairs stood on end. When the prince heard the emperor's last words, his heart sank into the cold pool, and he woke up with ice. He looked up, just in time to meet the emperor's angry eyes. What does the father mean, is it...... Is there something you are suspicious of?

The prince took a step back and almost bumped into the officials behind him, causing a small commotion. The sound was not loud, but it was extremely abrupt in this silent hall at this time, attracting everyone to look at it.

The prince coughed falsely and tried his best to maintain a semblance of calm, until the deacon eunuch announced his retirement from the court, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that he was relieved too early, because Rong Guogong Baili Tending had already walked towards him and said to him in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your Highness, the border pass is still waiting for your 100,000 taels of gold to send military salaries to buy military rations!" Your Highness, hurry up! ”

The prince raised his head a little apprehensively, and saw a faint cruel smile on the corner of Rong Guogong's mouth, as uncomfortable as eating a yellow lotus. It wasn't until the other party threw his sleeves away that he let go of his clenched fist.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder, and the prince turned around, just in time to see Feng Jiutian's reassuring eyes. He smiled wryly, not knowing what to say.

The two silently walked out of the main hall and walked towards the East Palace together.

……

……

"What? This...... When did this happen? How did Hongu not know? The queen, who was crooked on the cushion along the kang, heard Liuli's report and was so shocked that she almost jumped up. Before anyone could reply, her sharp eye knife had already scraped at the two women sitting on the soft chairs in the room: "What the hell is going on?" ”

The two women dressed up were the two sisters-in-law of the queen's mother's family, the eldest lady and the second lady of the Fengguo family. I came into the palace early this morning, ready to discuss the marriage of the young ladies of the Gu family with the queen. Asked by the queen's hoarse voice, the two of them fell to their knees with a frightened face, and asked in a confused trembling voice, "What happened?" ”

The queen's eyebrows were already raised at this time, and she asked the two viciously, "What's the matter with that Liu Fuji?" Why is so much gold suddenly coming in? ”

"What Liu Fuji? What to ship...... Gold? The two women were confused by the queen's question, and looked at each other in confusion, still looking at the queen inexplicably.

The queen was confused just now, but now when she saw the confused eyes of the two, she realized that she was angry. About the gold mine, where will these housewomen know half of the news? It's all arranged by her eldest brother in secret.

The queen hurriedly suppressed the resentment and scolding that almost erupted, and tried her best to control her emotions. However, it was too big at this time, and she couldn't help but instruct Liuli beside her: "Go, go and find out, what's going on?" What about the Prince? Go ask him! ”

The queen looked at the back of Liuli leaving in a hurry, clasped her hands together, and silently hoped that this matter had nothing to do with the prince.

No matter how anxious the parties were, this big case still spread all over the government and the opposition with lightning speed, and even the ordinary people in the capital circulated a lot of messages, at first it was just about the case, but after the message was passed on three times, it evolved into someone digging a gold mine and intending to rebel.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but there was an important news mixed in the message, that is, the prince voluntarily donated 100,000 taels of gold to support the border pass. And this 100,000 gold and the 100,000 gold in the case were quickly deliberately confused by people with intentions, and various versions were circulated. It's just that no matter which version it is, it seems that the prince is involved in this case.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Rongguo Gong Baili was drinking tea in front of the case, and Uncle Baili Sheng was accompanying him. Because he was impeached by the prince's people some time ago, Bailisheng has been at home all the time.

"Dad, can you really take down the prince in one fell swoop this time?" Bailisheng carried a small copper kettle and refilled tea for his father.

Baili Tend sneered, "It's not that we want to take down the prince, but someone wants to take him." ”

Bai Lisheng put down the copper kettle, frowned and pondered, "My son has always wondered, who will be the person who secretly delivers the news?" Who has such a great ability to catch such a big handle as the prince? And the most important thing is that such a good opportunity is not wanted, but it is given to us for nothing, isn't this person stupid? ”

Rong Guogong's eyes were half-squinted, as if he was recuperating and thinking.

Bai Lisheng continued: "Could it be the Four Princes? ”

Rong Guogong shook his head, and said after a while: "The four princes are in the northwest pass, and the whip is beyond their reach. Besides, this fourth highness seems to be easy-going, but in fact, what is hidden in his bones is all ambition. If he really has such important news, how can he be willing to give it up? ”

Bai Lisheng nodded and pondered: "The sixth prince has always looked at the fourth prince as the leader, and I'm afraid it won't be him." The only ones left are the Seven Princes and the Eighth Princes. Those princes wander all day long, and they don't look like they're doing big things! ”

"Humph! Have you forgotten that there is also a Nine Emperor Prince? Rong Guogong raised his head, his eyes did look into the void, and a trace of worry slowly overflowed from his eyes.

"The Nine Emperors?" Bai Lisheng was a little puzzled, "Isn't he the prince's person?" ”

Baili turned his head and glared at him, without explanation. Bai Lisheng suddenly opened up, and suddenly said: "Yes, there was that incident more than ten years ago, how could the Nine Emperor Princes really recognize the thief as his mother?" It's just that, if it's really the Nine Emperor Princes, then how did he know? Why do you want to give us such a big favor? ”

Bai Li Trend stood up, walked to the window with his hands in his hands, and only turned back after a while, and said to his son: "My father doesn't know how he grabbed the handle of the queen, but the fact that your sister was degraded is real evidence." The person who hurt Your Majesty is not your sister, let alone the Nine Emperor Princes, then only the queen will be left. The Nine Emperors must have known the truth, and now they are going to take the queen under the knife! ”
