Pei Minqiu was stunned, who is this? What do you mean by that? She looked at Empress Xiao suspiciously, and Empress Xiao turned blue with anger, and scolded in a low voice, "This brute! ”

She stood up and said, "The princess will sit down for a while, and I will come when I go." ”

Empress Xiao walked quickly to the outside of the hall, only to see that under the steps outside the hall, the eldest grandson Yang Qi's eyes were red, and he was full of alcohol, as if he was about to rush in, and was caught by several female guards.

He still shouted: "Let me in, I'll reason with her, he has already taken advantage of me as an imperial aunt, and I will never allow them to fight Danyang again!" ”

Xiao Houtie blushed, didn't say a word, stepped forward and slapped him in the face, pointing and scolding: "Get out!" Go back to your palace. ”

Yang Qi covered his face, stared at Xiao Hou with hatred, stomped his foot fiercely, turned around and ran away, Xiao Hou looked at his back, and gritted his teeth with hatred.

When she returned to the hall, Pei Minqiu was still calm as usual, not surprised, nor annoyed, sitting upright on the couch, Xiao Hou sat back in her seat, and sighed, "It's the King of Jinling, who drank too much wine and talked nonsense there." ”

Speaking of this, Empress Xiao said hatefully: "I must check carefully, who told him that the princess is here and causes trouble for me again." ”

Pei Minqiu smiled slightly: "After all, he is still a child and is not sensible, so the Queen Mother should not worry about him." ”

Empress Xiao shook her head and sighed: "He is not young, he will be seventeen next year, seventeen years old, he can be appointed as a taishou in Dasui, how old was the king of Chu when he became the governor of Fengzhou, he really made me worry!" ”

Pei Minqiu was also a little surprised, "Is King Jinling almost seventeen years old?" ”

Empress Xiao smiled bitterly, "He's not a child anymore." ”

After a pause, Empress Xiao cautiously said: "Princess, there is something I don't know whether to say or not, and it stands to reason that there are some things that I shouldn't say to outsiders." But if I don't say it. I'm worried that something bigger will happen. ”

Pei Minqiu knew that since Empress Xiao said so, she must have wanted to say it. Pei Minqiu said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has something in her heart, so she said it and hid it in her heart for a long time." Still get sick. ”

"Princess, we are all from here, an adult prince should not live in the palace for a long time, if he is just greedy for a cup of good wine, but he is still ...... Ay! I really can't speak. ”

Pei Minqiu understood that what she had not said was to say that Yang Qi was lustful, this was a problem, the palace maid was not for the prince, which made Pei Minqiu frown slightly.

Empress Xiao saw a trace of dissatisfaction in Pei Minqiu's heart. She said again: "King Jinling has been in the palace for a long time, and he often doesn't talk about incest, and he often goes to the emperor. Say something you shouldn't say. This worries me. ”

"What did he say?" Pei Minqiu asked curiously.

Empress Xiao sighed, "Say something disrespectful." The princess should have heard it just now. ”

Pei Minqiu understood, she was talking about attacking the King of Chu, saying something disrespectful, Pei Minqiu didn't care, but she was very disgusted by the defilement of the palace, she muttered and said: "I know about this matter, I will talk to the King of Chu, and open a mansion for the King of Jinling according to the normal rules, since he is almost seventeen years old, it is indeed not suitable to live in the palace anymore." ”

Empress Xiao was secretly happy in her heart, this is the purpose for her to bring Princess Chu here, she must let Yang Qi move out of Jinyang Palace, otherwise he will ruin the glory and wealth of the rest of his life sooner or later......

Pei Minqiu returned to the palace, it was almost dark, and when she entered the inner hall, Zhang Chuchen greeted her, and complained to her: "You came back so late, did you have dinner?" ”

Pei Minqiu smiled apologetically: "Just get some!" To be honest, I was a little hungry indeed. ”

"You wait, I'll give you the end."

Zhang Chuchen turned around and went out, but Pei Minqiu stopped her, "Is Yuanqing back?" ”

"I'm back early, and I'm in the study now!"

Pei Minqiu nodded, sat down, but was thinking about what Empress Xiao told her, and soon, Zhang Chuchen brought food, Pei Minqiu simply ate a little something, got up and went to Yang Yuanqing's study.

Pei Minqiu is an extremely smart person, she has already reacted afterwards, Empress Xiao is afraid that she specially told her about the Jinling, and even sent congratulatory gifts to invite her over.

However, although Empress Xiao is scheming, Pei Minqiu still has to deal with this matter, she is a woman after all, and she is very delicate in considering the problem, an adult prince lives in the harem, and is addicted to wine, which undoubtedly defiles the harem, which will bring a lot of troubles and affect Yang Yuanqing's reputation.

In any case, Pei Minqiu can't tolerate this kind of thing, she is a person with a heart, and she doesn't want to drag on this matter any longer.

Walking to Yang Yuanqing's study, she knocked on the door, and Yang Yuanqing's voice came from the study, "Who is it?" ”

"Husband, it's me."

"Come in!"

Pei Minqiu pushed the door and walked in, the light in the room was bright, Yang Yuanqing was writing something on the desk, and when he saw his wife coming in, he put down his pen and smiled: "Did you go to see Empress Xiao today?" ”

"Hey!"

Pei Minqiu sighed slightly, sat down opposite him, Yang Yuanqing got up and sat beside her, hugged her waist and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, you are angry when you enter the palace?" ”

"How is that possible?"

Pei Minqiu pillowed her head on her husband's shoulder and said with a smile: "With my husband's power, who in the world dares to give me anger, today Empress Xiao is too humble, I am a little unaccustomed." ”

"And what are you sighing about?"

Pei Minqiu sat up, her face became serious, "Husband, I have something to do with you!" ”

Yang Yuanqing saw that her face was serious, and the laughter in her heart disappeared, so he nodded, "Say it!" What's up? ”

"Husband, do you think King Jinling shouldn't move out of Jinyang Palace?"

Yang Yuanqing frowned, "What's going on?" I actually made you say that. ”

Pei Minqiu told her husband in detail what happened today, and finally she said very seriously: "The harem should be where the emperor lives, and the daughter of the harem should also belong to the emperor. ”

Yang Yuanqing paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, in fact, he also knew that Yang Qi was good at drinking and lusting, and this was not very important.

The key is that Yang Yu actually went to persuade Yang Yu, which made Yang Yuanqing dissatisfied, he was nothing more than persuading Yang Yu to deal with himself and rebuild the Great Sui River, this emperor's eldest grandson was really a little crazy.

It seems that it is necessary to send him out of the capital, keep him in the capital, sooner or later there will be trouble, thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing nodded, "He is really not suitable to live in the palace anymore, tomorrow I will let people send him away, send him to the local area to be a rich man, away from the place of power, so that everyone is quiet." ”

Pei Minqiu bit his lip lightly, and asked again: "What are you going to do with the Danyang matter?" ”

Yang Yuanqing was a little unhappy and said: "Don't ask about this matter, she is only fourteen years old now, and it is too early to say anything, so let her live in our house." ”

Pei Minqiu sighed secretly in her heart, she kind of understood her husband's thoughts......

Early the next morning, more than a dozen carriages stopped in front of Jinyang Palace, and the guards forcibly took Yang Qi out of the inner palace, sent him to the carriage, and sent seven or eight palace maids and eunuchs who served him to the carriage together, the carriage started, and a captain led more than 100 soldiers to escort the carriage away from Jinyang Palace.

It was the middle of October, and at noon on this day, a fleet of ships diverted from the Yellow River to Fenshui and arrived in Taiyuan City.

This fleet, consisting of more than 100 flat-bottomed tugboats, was laden with coarse silver and copper ingots smelted in Lingwu County, which was something that the imperial court had been waiting for for a long time, and the capture of Huining County and the seizure of the largest silver mine to date, giving the Great Sui a huge source of wealth.

The fleet docked directly at the warehouse dock, and the sergeants carried the silver and copper ingots into the warehouse, and another ox cart sent more than a dozen silver ingots directly into the Ziwei Pavilion of Jinyang Palace.

In the semi-circular hall of Ziwei Pavilion, Yang Yuanqing and the seven Xiangguo, as well as the chief and deputy officials of the various ministries and temples all gathered together, and placed more than a dozen silver ingots on the table in front of them, and all the officials surrounded the table, and everyone was carefully observing the silver ingots, and couldn't help but praise them.

At this time, Li Jinxian, the Cheng of Shaofu Temple, was led in, he was holding a box in his hand, walking cautiously, Yang Yuanqing saw him come in, so he clapped his hands and smiled at everyone: "Ministers, please sit down!" ”

Everyone returned to their seats and sat down, Li Jinxian walked to a low stage with a wooden box, put the box on the stage, he bowed to everyone, and said loudly: "Ministers, I am ordered to show you the gold and silver coins made by Shaofu Temple. ”

He opened the box, took out a silver coin and a coin, held it high in the air, and said to everyone: "This is the money and silver coin that have just been cast from the money mold, and the appearance is exactly the same as the new copper coin, but the material is different. ”

He put down the gold and silver coins, and took out two silver cakes, one large and one small, the silver cakes were very smooth, and the bottom was marked with the seal of the producer, and he said loudly: "This is also a new silver cake made of silver ingots from Huining County, one cake weighs one tael, and the other bread weighs ten taels, and the future Huining silver ingots will also be cast into these two silver cakes in large quantities." ”

There was a whisper in the semi-circular hall, and everyone was concerned about how much silver would be used, whether it would be used for circulation, and if silver was put into the market, would it lead to a sharp rise in prices and a depreciation of copper coins?

At this time, Du Ruhui came to the stage and smiled at everyone: "Money and silver money will be distributed to soldiers as military salaries and rewards, a piece of money can be used as a hanging, and a silver coin can be used as a fifty copper coin, this kind of money and silver money will soon be minted in large quantities and circulated together with copper coins, but the silver cake will not circulate, it will be stored in the Zuozang Treasury as the wealth of a country." ”

After a pause, he said: "You don't have to worry about whether the price of goods will rise, we have this silver, it can buy things from all over the world, and the grain, tea, silk, and cloth from the south will continue to flow into the Great Sui, and the national strength of our Great Sui will only be further increased." ”
