"That's right." I lowered my eyelashes lightly and said softly, "Even if the imperial court allocates this money and gives it to those officials layer by layer, there is not much that can be used for real use." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at me and smiled slightly: "What you said is to the point, Ye girl, what do you say the emperor should do?" Give them the money, but now there is no such money in the treasury, what a problem......"

"Niangniang, why did the merchants in the south suddenly hoard salt and rice? Didn't the emperor check it? "I think it's strange, hoarding salt and rice, isn't it all natural disasters [***] when the merchants take advantage of the chaos to make profits, if the world is peaceful in the country, how can the merchants take the risk of angering the imperial court for no reason to muddy this pond?

"It's even more infuriating to talk about that." The Queen Mother said hatefully, "The Jiangnan Governor's recital said that in order to raise the price of rice and salt, the Annihilation Merchants created rumors, saying that the alien was born, and the world was about to be in chaos, and when the people robbed the rice and salt, they found that the rice and salt had been hoarded by the Annihilation Merchants, and in order to make profits, they dared to make up such rumors to fool the people, ignoring the laws of the imperial court, it was really hateful, but now is not the time to pursue them, and it is ......the top priority to calm down the matter as soon as possible."

Another star was born, and the world is about to be in chaos? I suddenly remembered that I heard Duan Zhiyi mention it a few days ago, "There is a bad star born in the northern sky", and I was shocked, this rumor is quite consistent with the prophecy of Master Duan Zhiyi, what is the connection or mystery in it? Thinking of the fact that so many things have happened around the emperor recently, and there have been incidents in the court, is there a connection between these things? Thinking that the emperor was still bothered about the affairs of the lonely clouds two days ago, and he had to think about the affairs of the country and the world, it was simply not peaceful inside and out, I sighed in my heart, he was really hard to be the emperor. If the matter of the Southern Annihilators hoarding rice and salt is not so simple, and has something to do with recent events, I really can't let those people go as they wish.

"Queen Mother, please be relieved, the Yun family is willing to share the emperor's worries and bear the cost of this parity for the treasury." If you want to level the price of grain and salt in the entire Jiangnan region, it will not be a small amount, and you don't want to take it down without a few million taels of silver. Today, I dare to immediately promise the Queen Mother, one of which I am thinking that it is almost time for the Yun family to bleed heavily, and the old man must know it in his heart; Second, if this matter is related to recent events, I will never be able to go as the people behind the scenes want, and maybe I can find some clues through this matter; Besides, you can use this money to ruin the possibility of getting a queen in the second room, killing three birds with one stone, and the old man will not blame me.

"Ye girl, you are really the intimate child of this palace." The Queen Mother said this for a long time, just waiting for my words, and at this time she took a reassuring pill, and suddenly smiled. I smiled: "Niangniang, this is the duty of a courtier. On the contrary, those unfavorable rumors in the south must be quelled as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be terrible. ”

"Ye girl, you are really planning for our royal family." The Queen Mother was a little moved, "Don't worry, the emperor already has a countermeasure, this morning in the morning, the emperor announced a holy decree, saying that yesterday I dreamed of Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizu inspired him to go to the temple to fast and sacrifice to the sky, pray for the people of the country, and after reciting the peace of the seven hundred and forty-nine days, you can resolve the vision." This holy decree will be able to be conveyed to the world through express posts everywhere......"

"The emperor is out of the palace?" I was stunned, the emperor was not in the palace, so wouldn't I come for nothing? This is too much of a fuss, as soon as the money for the price of grain arrives, won't those rumors immediately be self-defeating? Why do you have to stay in the temple for forty-nine days before you come back...... No, forty-nine days? I was shocked, Taimiao? Isn't the Protector God Ding being placed in the Taimiao? Remembering what Duan Zhiyi said, after the protector god Ding moves recklessly, the emperor will be in danger for 7749 days, could it be that the emperor went to the Taimiao to pray for blessings, but in fact it was to save the silence and the clouds? I only knew that he would be in danger during these forty-nine days, but I didn't know how dangerous it was that he had to stay in the Taimiao Temple all this time, and he would be in vain. If the person behind the curtain let Maha take the opportunity to attack the emperor...... I was covered in a cold sweat and suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore. I only heard the queen mother say: "Yes, the emperor has gone to the Taimiao, during this time, he handed over the affairs of the court to Qianyi Prison State, if he knew that the Yun family had helped the court a lot, he would be gratified." ”

I looked at the Queen Mother smiling with satisfaction, and my heart was slightly cold, I am afraid that this idea was not from the emperor. He couldn't come to the court for forty-nine days, and it was impossible not to worry, if something happened to the court, how would he deal with it? If the Nine Kings really had ambitions for the throne and let him supervise the country, it was the emperor's move to retreat and push the Nine Masters to the forefront, but instead restrained his hands and feet. I was afraid that he would secretly make a mistake, so he was about to leave, and threw a big trouble, a matter of millions of taels of silver, to the ninth master, so that he would have a headache, but he didn't want the queen mother's beloved son to be anxious and come to stir up the situation and ruin the emperor's deployment.

I sighed, although I thought of what happened just now, it was not easy to explain it to the Queen Mother. It's better to hurry to the Taimiao to see if you can help the emperor in any way. I bowed my head and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine has been out for too long, and it's time to leave." But ......"

I deliberately wanted to speak and stopped, and the Queen Mother said gently: "You girl, if you have something to say, just say it, don't babble." ”

I knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "Niangniang, about the matter of Li Xiangrong as the latter, I also ask Niang Niang to think carefully before making a decision, this time the Yun family is helping the court, I am afraid that it will cause gossip, saying that Xiangrong This queen was bought with money." The Yun family has inherited too much imperial favor, and it is really scary to receive this deep favor, and I am even more afraid that the children of the clan will get carried away and attract criticism such as the dictatorship of foreign relatives, so please think twice. ”

The Queen Mother may not be afraid of gossip that the queen's position was bought with money, but she has to think about the words "dictatorship of relatives", with the Yun family's family situation, it is impossible for her not to worry. I saw a strange light flashing in the eyes of the Queen Mother, and I knew that my words had reached her heart, and I wanted to tolerate this queen, and there was no hope in this life.

"Ye girl...... "The Queen Mother got up, personally helped me up, and said with emotion, "You really understand the righteousness, our Jun family has wronged your Yun family......"

"The concubine is terrified." I lowered my eyebrows and looked humble. Think about it, don't blame me for ruining your future with a word, only complain, you were born in the second room of the Yun family and gave birth to Yun Tianqi's daughter, from the time I knew the ancestral teachings of the Yun family, all the stumbling blocks that might hurt my Nuo'er, I will eradicate them mercilessly. It is worth it to exchange your future for the Queen Mother's trust in me. I calmly bowed to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, the concubines will not disturb your rest, and I will leave first." ”
