Chapter 323: Secretly instigated
Everyone, you and I are talking about the two people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even Zheng Wanqing was gradually attracted to attention.
When he turned his head to look at the emperor, his eyes had already been hooked by Chang Min's soul, and the wine in the wine glass was spilled, and he didn't realize it.
"Your Majesty, no matter how beautiful Chang Min is, he has already married a wife, if the emperor looks like this, he is looked at by some ill-intentioned courtiers, and I don't know what it will be like in the future among the people or the court, no matter how much the emperor likes it, he must learn to restrain himself."
Zheng Wanqing's words obviously brought the emperor back to his senses, but at the same time, he was also a little dissatisfied with her, and snorted coldly and continued to eat and drink the delicacies in front of him.
The banquet was dissolved in the emperor's unhappiness.
Before leaving, Chu Mei did not forget to sprinkle all her unhappiness tonight on Zheng Wanqing's body.
"Sister, why are you so troubled, there are still several shows in the future, you see that you made the emperor so angry that he left early."
She covered her lips and smiled lightly, her delicate face was also particularly moving, Zheng Wanqing felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
"If there was no queen of this palace to persuade the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor would have been immersed in the gentle township, and this palace is taking pictures for the country."
"Ouch, it's really amazing, is the queen mother for the righteousness of the country, or for her own chicken belly?"
However, Chu Mei was used to seeing her kind of grandiose face, and sneered disdainfully.
"What can you, a woman in the General's Mansion, understand? Hongu doesn't bother to talk to you more! ”
"Well, you don't want to talk to me, I don't want to listen to your hypocritical rhetoric! I want to remind you, don't think about currying favor with those ministers, we are the emperor's women, whether you want to please those ministers or the emperor, you can do it yourself. ”
Chu Mei left after saying it meaningfully, leaving Zheng Wanqing alone and secretly bored in the same place.
She didn't really need to talk to her about this, it was only because there were common enemies and threats that she learned to be smarter.
But Chu Mei forgot one thing, the right prime minister is the pillar of the court, young and promising, how dare the emperor touch his main wife?
Even if the right prime minister is willing to give it away, the emperor is willing to accept it, but his reputation will be lost for 10,000 years.
What kind of threat can a mere Chang Min be regarded as?
Zheng Wanqing thought like this, and Chang Min's delicate face like porcelain couldn't help but appear in front of her, and she secretly paid attention to it.
Chang Min is about the same age as her, instead of putting Chang Min everywhere, it is better to have a good relationship with her everywhere, maybe she can get some secrets for her to take care of herself on weekdays, and win the emperor's favor.
Oh, Takeo's daughter is short-sighted.
Zheng Wanqing looked at the direction Chu Mei left and snorted coldly, and then smiled and almost went to Chang Mintao.
The emperor was depressed thinking about Chang Min's inedible peach, and he was startled when he saw a person standing upright at the door of the imperial study.
"What people!"
"Father!"
When Jing Yi saw the emperor coming, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted, wondering in his heart why the banquet ended so quickly.
Yu Guang looked to the side, but he didn't see anyone else, so he knew in his heart that it was probably the emperor who left the scene first.
"Why did my father come back so early? But what happened at the banquet? ”
"It's fine, I'm a little tired after two glasses of wine, what are you doing here?"
When it came to business, Jing Yi's face turned pale and he asked to go to the imperial study to discuss it carefully.
It was rare for the emperor to see such a serious Jingyi, and he thought it was funny, so he allowed him to enter the imperial study to talk.
"Father, this is the account book that Erchen's subordinates have collected from Mu Wenran's various stores, please take a look at it."
"Books?"
The emperor's heart sank, and he hurriedly took it from his hand and looked at it carefully.
He looked at Jing Yi meaningfully as he flipped through it.
"What did you do with stealing Muwenran's account book for me?"
"Although the sons don't ask about the affairs of the previous dynasty, they are always the sons of their fathers, what is the father worried about, and the sons are willing to share more!"
Jing Yi's words made the emperor feel very comfortable, and when he saw the total amount of money settled at the back of the account book, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at the numbers on it in disbelief.
"This! Is there so much income from just one shop? You can guarantee that the book was found in one of Muwenran's smallest branches! ”
"Erchen will never lie!"
All right! It turned out that the money that Mu Wen took out last time without blinking her eyes was just a small amount, no wonder she didn't feel distressed at all!
He still thanked him here, maybe Mu Wenran laughed at him in his heart!
In the past few days, I have really committed a water reversal, and nothing has gone well.
The Emperor frustrated the ledger on the desk and picked up the next one to continue flipping through it.
The numbers in this book are bigger than the other, and each one is more rampant than the other.
"When Erchen was studying with Taifu these days, he knew that in the past, the emperor emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, but his father was advocating to elevate the status of merchants, but although this will give some small merchants and hawkers some respite, if it is left on these businessmen who have become bigger, it will be both power and wealth!"
Jing Yu saw that the emperor's brows were tightened, and he knew that there was a play, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said with a needle.
"Then according to your meaning, I am now going to continue the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business?"
"Of course not, my father's move made the whole country appreciate my father's conduct, naturally I can't take it back, my father only needs to rectify individual businessmen, and this reputation is resounding all over the capital, and the brunt of it is Mu Wenran's Huiyantang."
Emperor Huiyantang has heard that in the palace, as long as the concubines and palace maids who have the opportunity to go out, they will mention this name from time to time.
If there is a new product or a good price, the three of them will gather in groups to discuss.
"Father only needs to make a holy decree to let Mu Wenran close this biggest shop, even if he is more than half successful!"
"This ......"
The emperor is still very hesitant, he sees this matter much more clearly than Jingyi, other people who can make the business bigger, although they are also rich, but none of them can run out to donate money for the country.
And Mu Wenran, although the money donated is only a small part of her business, it can be regarded as doing her best for the country, which is really rare.
People are opening stores well, and suddenly saying that they will be closed, it is inevitable that there will be complaints, right?
"You can think about this again."
He waved his hand tiredly, but Jingyi didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong today, he was used to looking at people's faces in the past, but now he chased and instigated him relentlessly.
