These ministers, who don't know the inside story, after listening to the words of the household servant, initially thought that in order to increase the prestige of the few female dependents in the back house, the Pingguo Mansion took out such a large sum of money, which was really rich in family background, which was a bit staggering.

However, when I heard the words of Ping Guogong, this was the dowry money paid by the two nieces of their family, which was really, really a little curious-

Who are the two nieces of Pingguo Gong?

You must know that in a disaster year, being able to buy such a large amount of cotton clothes and grain is not only financially abundant, but also has no certain relationship, and there is no way to do it.

Many officials have squinted at Ping Guogong.

There are even a few Wenchen who have never dealt with Ping Guogong on weekdays, and directly asked this question: "Ping Guogong, I heard that your three nieces and nieces are living in the people, and they just came back from the countryside last year, and the two nieces are only teenage girls, and one nephew is not yet ten years old, what Xia Guan said is right?" ”

Ping Guogong has always been straightforward and fair in the court, and he is very majestic on weekdays, and his eyes swept over lightly, and the legs of the official who opened his mouth trembled slightly.

Ping Guogong didn't take the other party in his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said lightly: "Lord Sun knows a lot about the affairs of the old man's family. ”

The official's legs trembled a little, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't speak.

An official next to him smiled and said: "Pingguo Gongmingjian, it's not that the lower officials spied on the inner house of the Pingguo Mansion, it's really that rumors flew in Beijing a few days ago, and the lower officials heard about it." You know, those rumors are really ugly ......"

Speaking of rumors, Ping Guogong's face sank.

Those rumors flying all over the sky, Ping Guogong knew that it was because someone pushed the handle behind him.

Speaking of which, the person behind the scenes is really despicable, and he even used the innocent female dependents in the back house as a raft to splash sewage, and the bad guy is famous.

Of course, the people behind the scenes, these people who listen to rumors and spread rumors, are no better, and they don't have any thoughts of their own.

Ping Guogong tried to calm the anger in his heart, and was about to speak, when he heard a cold voice next to him: "Lord Zhao's vision stops at these gossips?" Since I know that it is gossip, I even brought it to the court meeting of the main hall, which is really ignorant and ignorant! ”

The official surnamed Zhao was about to look at him angrily, seeing who was so bold and dared to reprimand him so unceremoniously!

As a result, as soon as he turned his eyes, he saw that the eleventh prince, who had never spoken much at the court meeting, was looking at him indifferently with a pair of cold eyes.

Obviously, it was His Royal Highness who spoke just now.

At this time, the official surnamed Zhao's legs were also weak.

However, when he thought about his backstage, he faintly regained some confidence.

He straightened his waist slightly, and looked at Ji Jinxing: "His Royal Highness the King is so bad, and he is an official below, so he naturally wants to speak up......"

Ji Jinxing sneered.

He has always been cold-hearted, and he has never paid much attention to this kind of DPRK-China affairs. In the past, no matter how heated the debate of the courtiers was, the prince always stood there indifferently, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Right now, this sneer is simply slapping the official surnamed Zhao in the face.

The official surnamed Zhao blushed.

Who is behind the official surnamed Zhao, Ji Jinxing knows very well in his heart. He glanced at the official surnamed Zhao coldly, although it was not yet time to clean up their group, but the general ledger was not counted, and a little interest could still be taken first.

"Father," Ji Jinxing looked cold, "Lord Zhao is an official in the court, and he should be dedicated to the country and the people, but he didn't care about the food and clothing, but instead grabbed some gossip that slandered the reputation of others, and just took it out and said that this person had bad intentions and was very sinister. ”

The official surnamed Zhao almost vomited blood when he heard this.

Isn't this still in the free-flowing debate phase? Why did you go directly to the emperor?

What made the officials surnamed Zhao even more desperate was that as soon as Ji Jinxing's words fell, several officials from the prince's faction stood up one after another and responded one after another.

Seeing this, the emperor groaned slightly and nodded: "What the king said is very true. Zhao Quanyou. ”

He named the official surnamed Zhao.

The official surnamed Zhao trembled: "The minister is here." ”

The emperor's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he made a decree.

To the effect that this surnamed Zhao has a loss of virtue and is not worthy of being an official, and he was ordered to suspend his post and go home for reflection.

Zhao Quanyou knelt under His Highness with a desperate face, he originally wanted to cry out, but the person behind him secretly gave him a look, signaling him to be calm.

Zhao Quanyou had to endure and accept the order.

Ping Guogong smiled coldly in his heart.

This Zhao Quanyou, he had checked before, had received bribes from many officials, and did not report the disaster near the suburbs of Beijing, and now it is not yet time to settle the general account, if he lists his crimes, it will only startle the snake, and now it happens that the emperor has suspended him for this reason of virtue loss, which can be regarded as a reward for good and evil.

After Zhao Quanyou's incident, others didn't dare to take out the rumors in Beijing anymore.

Everyone knows that this Zhao Quanyou was unlucky and happened to bump into it. The emperor is happy because the little girl took out the dowry money to save tens of thousands of people, you have to jump out and say the gossip of the little girl a few days ago, isn't this looking for trouble?

Can the emperor be happy?

No, take a leave of absence and go home to reflect, right?

Pingguo Gong came out of the ranks, with a forbearant face, and said: "Your Majesty, there were a lot of rumors against Weichen's family in Beijing a few days ago, and some people deliberately provoked them later. Wechen wanted to investigate, but Wechen's niece said that the mouth of the people is worse than the mouth of Fangchuan, and the mouth grows on others, and we can't care about what they say, we can only do our own thing. ”

The emperor nodded, and glanced at Fang Hanniang, who could say such a thing, and involuntarily glanced at Ji Jinxing who was standing on the side.

I thought in my heart, this little son, usually like a saw-mouthed gourd, doesn't say a word, and now someone says bad things about his sweetheart in the court, but he can't hold it back, he really has a daughter-in-law and forgets his father.

The emperor couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.

The official surnamed Sun, who had just spoken, said: "The niece of Ping Guogong is very insightful. Don't be annoyed, Xia Guan is not malicious, but he is very curious, Ping Guogong's three nephews are all lost pearls found in the countryside, where did he come up with such a large sum of money to give food and clothing? ”

An official next to him said, "Where do people get the money, do they still need to report to you?" As everyone knows, the niece of Ping Guogong has always been kind-hearted, and just a few years ago, at a high price of 100,000 taels, she won a South China Sea dzi, which can be regarded as donating 100,000 taels of silver to the people in the disaster area! It's much better than you, who only talk about it and don't do anything at all! ”

The official surnamed Sun blushed: "How do you know that I didn't do it!" I ......"

"Your Majesty," Ping Guogong was impatient to listen to their civil officials arguing, and he also talked about his precious niece, and he directly interrupted their quarrel in the name of playing, "Several nephews of Weichen, although they live in the countryside when they are young, the situation at home is difficult, but Weichen's eldest niece is a talented and intelligent person. She got an ancient recipe from a nobleman, and the soap horn made not only has a fragrant aroma, but also has a wonderful effect. It was with this flower soap that Weichen's niece saved a sum of money. ”

Speaking of flower soap, some ministers in the DPRK and China are still a little confused, but it's just a little soap, can they earn so much money?

However, some ministers who often listen to the nagging of the female dependents of the family immediately remembered a thing, and a large amount of expenditure of the female dependents of their family over the years has been on the soap horn called "Hanzhi flower soap".

Hanzhi flower soap is out of the new product, buy!

Hanzhi flower soap is out of the limited gift box, buy it!

Hanzhi flower soap is a big discount, buy buy buy!

They had all complained a little before, how much silver did these ladies have to throw on the Hanzhi flower soap all year round.

Therefore, when Ping Guogong talked about making money with flower soap, they subconsciously thought of this Hanzhi flower soap.

Some people who are familiar with the inside story think about it again, Ping Guogong's eldest niece seems to be called Fang Hanniang, and the little niece seems to be called Fang Zhiniang......

Hanzhi flower soap...... Isn't that the property of these two little girls?

Ping Guogong knew that the boss behind Hanzhi Flower Soap was Fang Hanniang's business, and as Fang Hanniang's status became higher and higher in the future, he would definitely not be able to hold it. It is better to take advantage of this juncture to bring up this matter, firstly, to solve the doubts about where the ministers' money came from, and secondly, to pass the clear path of this property.

At present, Han Niang's backer is the Pingguo Mansion, and they can completely control the field of Hanzhi flower soap.

Ping Guogong looked at the expressions of some ministers who suddenly realized, and continued: "This once-in-a-century snow disaster, the people have suffered a great sin, when Weichen's little niece came to Beijing, she saw those tragic scenes, so she was compassionate, discussed with her eldest sister, and took out all the money they had saved over the years. secondly, a large amount of grain was purchased, and when cotton clothes were distributed, this batch of grain was naturally distributed; Third, it is the South China Sea dzi that was auctioned at the charity auction of the Zhongyong Mansion a few days ago......"

Speaking of the South China Sea dzi, Ping Guogong wanted to speak and stopped.

The emperor naturally remembered the "stealing dragons for phoenixes" that came out of the Zhongyong Palace, and couldn't help but feel that Fang Hanniang was indeed wronged in this matter.

If it weren't for his youngest son writing on the beads, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to return Fang Hanniang's innocence.

A little girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet has the courage to take out 100,000 taels to donate, but it was replaced by some ill-intentioned people with fake ones, and even bit back.

Coupled with the noble behavior of the little girl who has been silently giving food and clothing, and does not seek fame, the emperor feels that it is time to make amends
