King Zhaojun took the wedding scale and walked over and uncovered the hijab. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
On the golden phoenix crown, there was a tassel falling, covering Miss Lin's face, and the tassel swayed, which was not real.
King Zhaojun put down the joy scale and said, "It's been a tired day, you can rest." ā
After speaking, he didn't look at her anymore, and lay down on the small couch beside him, and fell asleep.
Miss Lin didn't expect to be treated coldly by this, she has been very nervous, last night, Mrs. Lin'an Hou stuffed her with two books, and asked her to read them before sleeping, how to do Ming'er Cave Room, all listen to King Zhaojun.
The picture on that book, now that I think about it, still makes people red-faced.
Now that King Zhaojun is asleep, what should she do?
Miss Lin walked to the side of the small couch, pushed the king of Zhaojun twice, and called, "Lord Jun, don't sleep yet." ā
No one answered her.
Miss Lin took the clothes and helped King Zhaojun cover them, then turned around, she was really tired, took off the phoenix crown, and fell asleep on the bed.
The two of them slept separately, but it was also quiet, and there was a faint noise in the front yard, but it did not affect them.
The banquet in the front yard was lively for a long time before it dispersed.
Before the princess left, she came to the new house to take a look, opened the lock, and went back to the palace.
By the time Chu Muyuan returned to Moxuan, it was already dark and he couldn't see his five fingers.
"It's windy outside, why don't you go inside?" Chu Muyuan walked over and said.
Shen Yue looked at him, pointed to the distance and said, "Look, there seems to be a fire over there." ā
In the distance, there was smoke and fire.
In the blink of an eye, the fire became more intense, shining the night as if it were day.
Chu Muyuan looked at it for a while, frowned, and said, "That direction...... It should be a gambling house. ā
Shen Yue was surprised, she didn't expect Chu Ang to be so sloppy, and Qin Qi didn't tell her, she thought it would take a day or two.
Chu Ang is urgent, let him spend another day in the gambling house, he will tear the gambling house up.
"Now that the gambling house has burned, what should I do with the 300,000 taels of silver I owe?" Shen Yue asked.
Although at the beginning of the period, I only wanted to earn 300,000 taels, that is, the Song family didn't want to take advantage of the gambling house, but there were 600,000 taels, of course, it was the best.
Chu Muyuan pinched Shen Yue's nose and smiled, "Don't worry, there will be no shortage of silver or two." ā
Can there really be no less?
Shen Yue was very suspicious that with such a big fire, the gambling house must have burned out.
She was about to ask, but Chu Muyuan kissed her and blocked her mouth, although he drank a lot of wine, but mixed with his unique snow lotus fragrance, it was not annoying.
Night, very quiet.
The fire in the distance burned vigorously, as if it was about to burn everything.
Early the next morning, Shen Yue knew how big the fire was yesterday, not only burned down the gambling house, the fire was so big, and the wind was blowing, and the few shops close to it were damaged, almost burned clean.
Chu Ang's matter in the gambling house, because it was not early, did not spread much yesterday, but as soon as it was spread today, it reached the council hall.
Chu Ang didn't go to court for two days, at yesterday's wedding banquet, the emperor said he in public, Chu Ang promised that Ming'er would go to the early court, and punished himself with several glasses of wine, the emperor knew that drinking was nothing to him, and punished him for three months, and this matter was forgotten.
Of course, the penalty is nothing to Chu Ang, when did the people in Prince Xuan's Mansion care about that little money, for so many years, the emperor has deducted the prince's money until the next life......
Chu Ang won 600,000 taels in the gambling house, and the gambling house gave 300,000 taels, and the 300,000 taels owed to him were known to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
Everyone knows very well that the burning of the gambling house is definitely not an accident, and people can't afford to pay back 300,000 taels, so they burned the gambling house to escape debts.
But there are several big backers behind that gambling house, and in the past few years, they have also gained a lot of benefits, and now they are burned, which is distressing.
In addition, Chu Ang and Chu Muyuan were in charge of the handsome seal together, but they didn't go to the court to gamble, so they really didn't take the border affairs to heart, and let the emperor punish him heavily.
Chu Ang was not convinced, "I'm going to gamble, but I'm gambling for the border affairs!" ā
Manchu Dynasty civil and military, "......." ā
I've never heard of gambling or gambling for someone else, what is this fallacy?
The emperor has all supported his forehead, and he has gambled, it's good to admit his mistake, he has to do something with strong words, in front of so many ministers, the emperor is not good at favoring Chu Ang.
If there are ministers who do the same, wouldn't this court be chaotic, the emperor glared at Chu Ang, and then said, "I want to know how you gamble for border affairs?" ā
Chu Ang craned his neck, looked directly at Long Yan, and said, "I discussed with my eldest brother before, I want to form a god crossbow guard, which requires a lot of military expenses, before my father left, the money left to us is counted, and the eldest brother does not allow me to use it, I want to ask the emperor, but he refuses to let it, saying that the treasury is empty, saying that a good general must have the ability to solve the problem of military salaries by himself, what can I say, I can only think of another way." ā
"Not long ago, didn't the gambling house win 300,000 taels of the Song family, it's too easy for the gambling house to make money, I thought I could give it a try, and then I won so much, it must be enough to form a divine crossbow guard, I can also match them with horses and train them to become elite soldiers, Your Majesty, isn't this for the border affairs?"
Chu Ang looked aggrieved, pointed to his legs and said, "I have been standing in the gambling house for two days, and my legs have cramps that hurt at night. ā
Your Majesty, "......." ā
Let him explain, this is still wronged, didn't he just stand for two days, leg cramps, like this, he would believe it?
However, Chu Ang said that he wanted to set up a divine crossbow guard and prepare military expenses by himself, so the emperor asked a few more questions, and Chu Ang replied reasonably, and the Manchu Dynasty was stunned.
When the emperor heard this, he smiled and said, "I don't know where the crossbow guard is, so I have been invincible and invincible by your boasting, and I want to drive the expedition in person, who did you learn from this braggart skill?" ā
Prince Xuan's Mansion doesn't have such a braggart person.
Chu Ang, "....... ā
"I'm telling the truth, how can the emperor say I'm bragging?" Chu Ang was not convinced.
The emperor shook his dragon robe and said with a smile, "You prepare your own military expenses, set up a divine crossbow guard, and don't add a burden to the court, I will wait and see." ā
The emperor plans to turn the page on this matter.
But Chu Ang pressed it, and didn't let the emperor turn it over, he looked at the emperor and said, "The divine crossbow guard only has 300,000 taels of military salary, which is not enough, the gambling house is now burned, this is planned to be repaid, the gambling house won me 17.8 million taels without blinking, I won 600,000 taels, that's it, I want the criminal department to investigate thoroughly." ā
Don't think that if you burn the gambling house, you don't have to pay back the money, and you can't miss a tael of silver.
A minister said, "The gambling house has been burned down, and people don't know where to go, where do they want to find someone to pay back?" ā
Chu Ang smiled, "The Song family is not casually bullied in Kyoto, they have all won 300,000 taels of debts from the gambling house, there is no backer, dare to ask for money, I think the gambling house came to the door, and it must have been said in the Song family, and when I went to the Song family to ask, I knew who was behind the gambling house, and if I couldn't ask who the gambling house was, I asked those who supported the back to pay." ā
Without any benefit, Kyoto can't find a few people who will be kind enough to stand out for others.
"Besides, this money is not what I want, it is used for military salaries, and there were ministers in the previous dynasty who ruined their families to relieve difficulties, there is no reason not to give this money, right?"
When Chu Ang said this, some ministers agreed, "It should be given!" ā
Many ministers seconded the proposal.
The emperor is in a good mood, and he has an extra 600,000 taels of military salary for nothing, what a beautiful thing, besides, the divine crossbow guard that Chu Ang said, although it sounds like he is bragging, but the emperor is also a person who has been on the battlefield and thinks it is feasible.
The emperor nodded and said, "Within three days, if the gambling house does not send the money to Prince Xuan's mansion, let the criminal department conduct a thorough investigation." ā
"Find out, raid the house!"
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, Chu Ang added.
Ruthless enough.
The emperor has supported his forehead, even if he finds out, it will not be so serious, but Chu Ang said this, and the emperor didn't say anything.
In the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military, the emperor acquiesced.
