Grandpa Long smiled:

"Exactly, I want to ask for money for the court on behalf of the princess. Didn't you just say that the chaos in the capital is small, and the household department has no money and is big? Before Wei Hou mentioned that the imperial court could borrow silver from Cao Jinbao, and the imperial court borrowed it, which did solve the urgent need for a while, but the little money borrowed could only solve the urgent need, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the silver was actually spent. ”

When Gonggong Long said this, he said it lightly, as if he was telling an insignificant joke, but the people in the palace couldn't listen to it at all, borrowing silver was the next policy, and the next policy was to make a decision, as long as it could save his life, but the life-saving money that he had borrowed was easily squandered by the inner court.

Zhang Mingyue sighed with a blue face, this was naturally seen by Gonggong Long, and Gonggong Long asked:

"Why is Zhang Shoufu sighing?"

Since Zhang Mingyue was asked, he naturally would not pretend to be deaf and dumb, he said:

"Since my father-in-law knows that the borrowed silver is used to solve his urgent life-saving money, why should he spend it on the pomp and circumstance of the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Long Gong Justice:

"In previous years, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, but this year it's not like that."

Zhang Mingyue said:

"In previous years, the Mid-Autumn Festival was a celebration of a bumper harvest, but where did this year's Taisho harvest come from?"

Gonggong Long was very annoyed by Zhang Mingyue's words, and he lowered his face and said in a deep voice:

"Enough is enough Lord Zhang, I was arguing for silver before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will be arguing after the Mid-Autumn Festival! I'm so chaotic this year, I'm counting on the joy of the festival to rush bad luck, why does Lord Shousuke want to stop it? This matter was ordered by the emperor to be done, and the head of the chapter was pushed forward

Eh, slander afterwards, what are your intentions? The Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, and the annual tax revenue in the world is more than trillions? Lord Zhang, you supervised the six departments but made the court have no silver available, it was your dereliction of duty, but you have to blame the palace, blame the emperor, can you make money without spending money? ”

Gonggong Long's stern reprimand and drink made the two Lan chapters in the hall silent, although everyone knew that Gonggong Long was making strong words, but as long as he was making strong words for the emperor, he would stand on his side, even if he was as heroic as Zhang Mingyue, it was difficult to resist. Father-in-law Yu, who was standing on the other side, waited for Father-in-law Long to finish scolding, and said slowly:

"Father-in-law Long, if you talk about this, our family will have nothing to say."

Then Gonggong Long turned to the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, the old slave is your slave, and you should beat or scold, but the old slave is too old to be offended by the younger generations. What does the emperor want Gonggong Long to do, he can't do it for you, but he is very happy, and the old slave has to be killed by him, the old slave has a thin face, and he can't stand his poke like this. Recently, the chaos in the capital has just subsided, and Taichengwei is busy with affairs, so he asked the emperor to allow the old slave to retire first and go back to take care of official business. ”

The emperor in the gauze tent heard Father-in-law Yu's request, raised his hand slightly and dialed it twice, and Father-in-law Yu bowed when he saw this:

"The old slave retired first."

After saying that, Father-in-law Yu took a few steps back, and after getting off the dragon couch, he turned around and walked away as if no one was around, and Father-in-law Long, who was still angry, squeezed out a smile at this time, and arched his hands respectfully to see off Father-in-law Yu:

"Brother fish, walk slowly."

With Father-in-law Yu interrupting like this, Father-in-law Long's anger was also reduced a lot, and he squeezed out a smile and said to Lan Qianzhen:

"Acting Gong, in addition to the treasury, the rest of my Dazheng belongs to Cao Jinbao who is rich, and the acting prince has the closest relationship with Cao Jinbao, and I have to trouble the acting prince for money."

Because of the old incident of leaving the south back then, Lan Qianzhen was very jealous of this Long Gonggong, and now this Long Gonggong spoke to him with a hideous smile, Lan Qianzhen only felt furious in his heart, to be honest, even if he fought with people on the battlefield to the point of life and death, he was never so afraid. Lan Qianzhen replied:

"The emperor has arranged this, and the last general should be dedicated to himself, but the branch has always been under the control of the household department, and it is direct and convenient for the household department to send someone to find Cao Jinbao, why bother me as a middleman?"

Long Gong Justice:

"The daily expenses of the imperial court are huge, and the next thing I want to ask Cao Jinbao is a big number of silver that can't be counted, and a few adults in the household department can certainly talk about it, but such a large number, the household department is only afraid of scaring Cao Jinbao, if he breaks his courage and does not dare to borrow it again, it will be bad."

Lan Qianzhen listened to the words of Father-in-law Long, and his heart was full of bitterness, the silver spent on the Mid-Autumn Festival was not a small amount, and now the amount he wanted to borrow was actually bigger than that of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Lan Qianzhen didn't dare to know this number. After taking a deep breath, Lan Qianjin said:

"Since you want to make up such a big hole, why don't you just copy the Cao family, it will be much faster than me going to make friends with him."

I don't know why Father-in-law Long is extremely patient with Lan Qianzhen, even if he gets angry with Zhang Mingyue, even if Lan Qianzhen interrogates him repeatedly, Father-in-law Long is not impatient, he still patiently said to Lan Qianzhen:

"Daigong, your family is also in business, and you don't know what the current businessmen are like. These rich merchants are not like in the past, when they made money, they dug cellars and sealed them, and their money was in the goods on the way, where did he not sell the goods and copy the silver for me? What's more, this Cao Jinbao is in the money business, there are semicolons all over the country, and the silver treasury is not much, I copied one in the capital, and I can copy all the other ones? After the raid, should I spit out the money of others who were stored in his bank, or should it be confiscated into the treasury? On behalf of the father, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood, the long flow of water is the right way, and it is necessary to kill chickens and take eggs. ”

Lan Qianzhen knew that he couldn't shirk this matter, so he had to agree:

"Then General Rong will think carefully after returning to the town, and think about my book to Boss Cao."

Long Gong Justice:

"What town is going back to the town on behalf of the father, Cao Jinbao is in the capital, you can talk to him in the capital, isn't it troublesome to repair the book." interview

Let's go to Cao Jinbao for an interview. ”

Lan Qianzhen was embarrassed and said:

"This, this 、、、、、、"

Grandpa Long smiled:

"The acting prince doesn't have to be embarrassed, the emperor just wants you to ask for money back, and if you want the money back, he will send you back to the town."

Although Lan Qianzhen did not want to stay in the capital for a long time, it was difficult to disobey the king's order, and he could only sing and receive his order. After Lan Qianzhen received the order, Gonggong Long also breathed a sigh of relief, and he said:

"Today's matter has been settled, and you can go back and rest if you have nothing to do."

The three people in the hall hugged their fists when they heard this, Zhang Mingyue took the lead in turning around, Lan Qianzhen followed, Lan Ziyi was the last, but just when Lan Ziyi was about to leave, Gonggong Long stopped him and said:

"Wait, you stay."

Lan Ziyi was stunned when he heard this, subconsciously looked back at the dragon couch, and then turned his head to look at his father in front of him, Lan Qianzhen was also at a loss, at a loss. Seeing this, Gonggong Long smiled and said:

"The acting duke doesn't have to worry too much, I just left the guard for the emperor to say a few more words, and the acting duke will wait outside the palace first."

After Lan Qianzhen received the order, he had no choice but to surrender and retreat first, while Lan Ziyi went to the dragon couch under the guidance of Gonggong Long. Lan Ziyi was about to kneel, but was stopped by Gonggong Long, he turned his head to look at the emperor on the couch, the face covered by the misty tassels was pale and dull, distant but a little familiar, as if he had seen it before and in which dream.

At this time, Gonggong Long asked softly:

"Ziyi, what do you think the prince's performance was on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
