Chapter 237: Willing to receive the death penalty
When the emperor heard that it was Rao Xuekong, he immediately beckoned to her with interest.
Rao Xuekong ran over happily.
"Your Majesty, don't the prospective courtiers kneel? I was so tired from running just now! ”
As soon as these words came out, several gasps sounded around.
Bold, bold!
How did they know that Rao Xue had nothing to rely on. She could feel that the emperor was in a very good mood at this meeting, and he did not have the slightest gray perception or hatred for her.
Because of her bizarre "ability", she dared to be so happy.
Sure enough, the emperor laughed: "Accurate." ”
Rao Xuekong smiled and bent his eyes: "Emperor Xie." ”
"Why are you dressed like that?" The emperor asked her to come forward to speak, and the sixth prince moved to the side, and let her come closer without a trace.
The second prince squinted his eyes and looked at Rao Xuekong, she said courtier, is it a woman? It's stunning.
And after Rao Xuekong walked by the side of the sixth prince, he approached the second prince quietly and stood in front of him. In this way, when she talks to the emperor, the emperor has to keep looking at this side, how dare the second prince make any moves?
Rao Xuekong just needs the emperor to ask about this. As far as she had seen the emperor very few times, she felt that the emperor was the real powerful person, and she was scurrying around in the scene just now, so she didn't expect to be able to hide from this one. If he wants to track it down afterwards, the money she earned from this selection competition will have to be dug up, and Rao Yuanzhi will have to be affected. So she was going to take the initiative to come to him and confess.
"Your Majesty, is the courtier's body good-looking?"
It's okay that Rao Xuekong didn't speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, every sentence could make the hearts of several people next to him skip a beat.
The emperor nodded: "It's really good-looking." Heroic, capable, neat, beautiful! ”
"Emperor Xie praises!" Rao Xuekong said: "The courtiers are fortunate to know His Royal Highness the Sixth and Princess Ruolan, and want to give the two of them a similar set of riding clothes, so come and ask the emperor, do you want a set?" ”
"Riding clothes?" The emperor was surprised, he didn't expect Rao Xuekong to say this. "For me?"
"yes. The courtiers felt that if the emperor wore such a riding costume, he would definitely be heroic! But the emperor's clothes are all customized in the palace, and the courtiers dare not send them casually. So I wanted to ask the emperor first. ”
“haha!” Emperor Daxiao: "You girl is interesting. Bold too! Yes. I'll take you a ride outfit when I arrive! ”
"Emperor Xie!" Rao Xuekong wrinkled his nose in confusion as he spoke, and said, "Your Majesty, it was originally a courtier who gave you a gift. How did you become a courtier, thank the emperor? ”
"Haha!" The emperor couldn't help but daxiao again.
The sixth prince also shook his head and smiled.
The fifth prince had not spoken since Rao Xuekong came over, and he couldn't help laughing at this moment.
The four princes were nowhere to be seen, but Rao Xuekong didn't take them all to heart. All she had to do now was talk to the Emperor alone.
"Your Majesty, since you have accepted the courtier's gift, can you not pursue what the courtiers did before?"
"Tell me, what have you done?"
"The courtiers have just accepted the deposits of many people, promising them that they can give preferential treatment when they go to customize their riding clothes. The courtiers just think that Dayu is handsome and women are pretty, which is very suitable for this kind of riding costume, so she uses this to earn money! ”
The emperor couldn't help but want to laugh again, he touched his chin and said, "You mean to say that you earn money here?" ”
Rao Xuekong nodded, a little innocent.
It's just a sale of riding clothes, and the emperor won't really ask her about it. But the emperor didn't think that she was just talking about it herself, so when she asked about it, she didn't directly say whether she would pursue it or not.
Rao Xuekong seemed to be a little confused, and continued: "Not only that, but the courtiers also bought the tickets for this event from General Jin and resold them!" ”
At this moment, calm as the sixth prince, he couldn't help sweating in his palms.
He doesn't even know about this, he doesn't know about this! He still thought that she was helping Jin Xiaohan, didn't the income from selling tickets already be included in the salary of the Southern Army?
How dare this girl say it here?
Jin Xiaohan was also very surprised, he took the tickets for the conscription event to earn silver, and the income was earned for himself, if the emperor wanted to pursue this kind of thing, he could go to prison!
This woman is really bold!
The emperor's gaze turned: "Jin Qing's family, is this matter true?" ”
At this time, there was no smile on the emperor's face, and several people next to him were a little sweaty, and the second prince looked at Rao Xuekong thoughtfully.
Jin Xiaohan strode forward, walked to Rao Xuekong's side, and said, "Back to the emperor, there is such a thing." ”
"Oh, this is a strange thing to collect tickets, but what about the income from tickets?"
Jin Xiaohan said: "It has been collected as the salary of the Southern Army." ”
"Really? Rao Xuekong, what about your part of the income? ”
As soon as he heard the emperor's question, the strings in Jin Xiaohan's heart tightened, this woman has been tossing for so long, should she just want to hand over the hard-earned silver to the treasury and curry favor with the emperor? Didn't she say there was a shortage of silver?
At this time, Jin Xiaohan didn't know how much silver Rao Xuekong had earned with the tickets, in his mind, there should be at least 120,000 taels of silver. Because Rao Xuekong's price for the southern army was 10,000 taels.
When they were all tense, Rao Xuekong blinked his eyes and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, can't this part of the income go to the courtiers?" ”
What a rhetorical question. I'm not afraid that the emperor will cut her down in anger!
The second prince sneered in his heart.
The emperor really sank his face: "This is an army competition, relying on the silver obtained by the army, you really dare to take it for yourself?" ”
If it was someone else, when he saw the emperor's face and heard his majestic and cold question, he was afraid that he would kneel down with weak legs, but Rao Xuekong's face was as usual.
She was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Jin Xiaohan knelt down on one knee: "Please forgive the emperor!" This matter is the idea of the minister, and all the guilt shall be borne by the minister. ”
There were bursts of cheers on the side of the stage, and the trials were in full swing, but the atmosphere in the upper echelons of the stands suddenly became tense.
Rao Xuekong didn't expect Jin Xiaohan to make this move, and was stunned.
The emperor reclined in his chair. glanced at Jin Xiaohan, and didn't tell him to get up, but said slowly: "I heard that you want to take Rao Xuekong as a concubine, what, for a favorite concubine, you can use the name of the army to circle money for it?" ”
How could the Emperor know this? Rao Xue was startled in her heart, and couldn't help but glance at the six princes. The sixth prince shook his head secretly, signaling her to stop talking nonsense. How did Haode do this? Don't wait, it doesn't matter if Jin Xiaohan's 30,000 soldiers are recruited or not. Let this matter toss and lose his head.
Jin Xiaohan gritted his teeth and said, "Please ask the emperor to condemn the crime!" ”
does not defend it, but admits that he really wants to take her as a concubine, and spoils her so far, and tries to earn her money.
The emperor's eyes flashed: "Jin Qing's family." I don't want to break me for a general. It's just a concubine. And who can't really understand the meaning of these words? He didn't want to deal with Jin Xiaohan because of this matter, but he was just a little bit of a spare. If you kill it, you will kill it, and it is not a pity.
The sixth prince was shocked, the fifth prince squinted his eyes, and the corners of the second prince's lips moved slightly.
Jin Xiaohan set off a monstrous wave in his heart, wanting to kill this woman? Just a concubine? No, he won't!
"Your Majesty! This matter was done by the minister alone, and it had nothing to do with Xuekong, she just passively accepted the silver, if she wanted to ask the guilt, it should be the minister's crime! ”
"What if I say it's a capital offense?" The Emperor's voice was deep. At this moment, there was a strong drum sound, which shook everyone's hearts.
Rao Xuekong took a step closer to Jin Xiaohan, and was about to speak, when he heard him kowtow and said firmly: "The minister is willing to accept the death penalty, and I implore the emperor to spare Xuekong's life!" ”
Rao Xuekong's eyes widened.
General Jin, what are you doing here? You know you're stupid! You are so stupid!
But she felt a tightness in her throat and a slight sour nose.
The emperor did not speak. Rao Xuekong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have nothing to do with General Jin, they just know each other!" ”
"You!" Jin Xiaohan raised his head sharply and glared at her fiercely.
This woman, do you want to break off relations with him at this time?
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh? You don't want to be a concubine with him? ”
"The courtiers don't want to." Rao Xuekong said clearly: "The courtiers can swear that they will never serve General Jin as a concubine in this life, and ask the emperor to fulfill it." ”
Jin Xiaohan's figure flickered.
This woman, this woman, swore such an oath!
The emperor suddenly laughed, "Okay, I will allow you, not for concubines or servants, you are in charge of family affairs, okay?" ”
Rao Xuekong was overjoyed, "Good, good!" Thank you, Your Majesty! "Emperor, Emperor, what you said is right, she only said that she was not Jin Xiaohan's concubine, but what the emperor said was "Allow her not to be a concubine or a servant, and she is in charge of her own affairs"! In this way, if any prince and grandson nobles want to marry her in the future, she will have a strong and powerful talisman! This harvest is greatly good!
The sixth prince was also stunned. Before, the emperor clearly promised him
The emperor said, "What did you want to say just now?" ”
Rao Xuekong glanced at Jin Xiaohan, who was secretly pinching the boxer, and said, "Your Majesty, is this the first time that the ticket system for this Dayu event is this time?" ”
"Indeed."
"So, the law of my dynasty shouldn't stipulate that people can't buy all the tickets first, and then sell them again, right?" Rao Xuekong was about to say this, "The courtiers handed over a lot of the money to buy the tickets to General Jin and entered the salary of the Southern Army." If you sell all the tickets to other people, won't the army also receive the same amount of silver? The courtiers admit that what they have done is not illegal and undisciplined, so the income from the sale of tickets should naturally be owned by the courtiers. Don't hide it from the emperor, the courtiers also hired someone to rent a shop, if there is no income, it will be a real loss. ”
Others have a heart, she is good, and she still has a coquettish tone when she talks to the emperor!
Jin Xiaohan held his breath, he really wanted to pull her down and beat her hard.
Who would have thought that the emperor would suddenly get up when he heard this, and then said to him: "Jin Qing's family get up." ”
Rao Xuekong secretly rolled his eyes, I don't know when Jin Xiaohan offended the emperor, the emperor obviously took the opportunity to slap him! Originally, the emperor was not angry from beginning to end, and his mood has always remained in a state of extreme haode! (To be continued......)
