On the morning of the second day, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were about to be schizophrenic, and things happened one after another.

First of all, there was the imperial history Shu, and in one breath impeached Lin Xiang, who had returned to his hometown, and the two brothers of Empress Wei.

Then Sun Shangshu of the Ministry of War requested to expand the mobilization of the government army because of the siege of Shuozhou.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wenbin, the new secretary of the household department, cried poverty in the dynasty, and the war in the north was tight, but the household department could not come up with so much money and food to fight.

Jiang Wenbin carried the account book to the court. He is not He Wenmao who is fooling things, in one night, Jiang Wenbin reorganized a note, avoiding the important and ignoring the tax reform, and crying poor.

The time was just right, Jiang Wenbin was making a generous presentation here, and the internal supervisor outside came to report back, saying that the old lady of the Anguo Mansion, the Duchess of Anguo, and the eldest lady had arrived at the palace gate and asked to meet the saint.

Except for a few people who knew what to expect, the rest of the courtiers thought that Mrs. Mu had come to ask the emperor to transfer troops from Jin Lingwei for the siege of Shuozhou, and even the in-laws of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, Gu Daxue, also thought so.

Everyone thought that the emperor would be like a few times before, hurriedly dispersed and went to the imperial study to meet the Mu family's daughters, who would have thought that the emperor would wave his hand and ask the internal supervisor to bring the Mu family's daughters to the Chongzheng Palace. This surprised the courtiers.

This is a court meeting, what are women doing here?

And Zheng Ying was also a little puzzled. He was not puzzled by anything else, but heard that Mu Hongsheng also followed Mrs. Mu. Donating tax silver is, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for Mrs. Mu to come, and the most respected old lady in the capital to donate silver can best represent the position and attitude of the Mu family.

It is understandable that Duchess An Guo accompanied her mother-in-law to the court, but what did Hongshang do? Zheng Ying frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the gate of the Chongzheng Palace......

Old Madam Mu knew what she was going to do. Early in the morning, the daughter-in-law told her that the prince had come last night. If the king confessed, the Duchess of An Guo also conveyed it to Mrs. Mu as it was.

Old Madam Mu thought about it for a long time before going out, but in fact, she had already guessed the intention of King Xin to come here in the middle of the night. Raising taxes without paying taxes, the ministers are indeed more acceptable. So...... It doesn't seem to be necessary for her precious granddaughter to stand up to this thunder.

After having this understanding, Mrs. Mu felt a little mixed in her heart. She seems to be ...... I found an excuse to keep my granddaughter at home. But Mrs. Mu actually knew that Hongshang would eventually leave home and go to the north, and she couldn't stop her.

However, Mrs. Mu finally tried again. When Mu Hongshang was dressed neatly and went to her room to follow her grandmother into the palace, Mrs. Mu sighed, held her granddaughter's hand and told her about King Xin's visit.

"It's okay, I'll still accompany my grandmother to the court." Mu Hongshang replied like this: "If I don't need to do anything, I'll just come back with my grandmother." In short, I must go to the north, the fourth uncle and brother are still trapped in Shuozhou, and I am going to save them. ”

"Let's go first." Old Madam Mu sighed heavily again and stood up: "Get down to business, I'll talk to Huiming later." Red Clothes...... Alas! ”

Because she didn't have time or mood to continue to discuss this issue with Mu Hongsheng, Mrs. Mu decided to think of a way later, she took her granddaughter out and got into the carriage, ready to enter the palace.

Duchess An Guo, who entered the palace with Mrs. Mu, was naturally very unhappy when she saw her daughter, but she didn't have time to say anything. So the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren, three women, just like this, came to the court with a large box of silver.

This is the first time that a woman has been in court in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Mrs. Mu was wearing a super-quality court dress, without crutches and without help, so she walked in front with her head held high.

Behind her was the Duchess of Anguo, who was also wearing court clothes, and she was also dressed very grandly.

On the contrary to them, Mu Hongshang was dressed very simply. She didn't wear those ornate and complicated dresses at all, she was still wearing a short beard skirt, and her shoes were exposed, just like she usually did. However, in order to show her respect for the emperor, she chose a crimson beard dress, so as not to be too simple and disrespectful.

She didn't comb her hair in any complicated style, just combed her jet-black hair high behind her head, braided it, and tied it tightly with a red rope. She didn't wear any jewelry, not only did she not have a hairpin, but she also didn't wear earrings, necklaces, or even bracelets or bracelets, and only two delicate purses hung on her belt, which were considered ornaments.

Compared with her grandmother and mother, who are dressed up in grand and gorgeous clothes, Mu Hongsheng's dress is too inconspicuous, but she is still very eye-catching, at least in Zheng Ying's eyes.

As soon as Mu Hongsheng came in, he could barely take his eyes off the girl's face, and those bright eyes, as if they had a strange magic power on him, made him almost unable to control his gaze.

Behind the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Mu family were a string of internal supervisors carrying wooden boxes. In order to make the courtiers more impressed, Mrs. Mu deliberately did not bring silver tickets, but carried ready-made gold and silver to the temple, so it seemed that the battle was very large.

The emperor was very satisfied with this effect.

"What is this doing, old lady?" Without waiting for the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Mu family to kneel down first, the emperor first made a look of great surprise: "You are ......"

Old Madam Mu didn't answer immediately, turned around, and directly lifted the lid of the front box with her own hands, revealing a full amount of gold and silver. After the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu saw the contents of the box, he immediately began to whisper and discuss.

The effect was full, and Mrs. Mu knelt down, and according to Zheng Ying's explanation before, she stated how much gold and silver there was, where it came from, and what it was for.

After Mrs. Mu finished acting, it was time for the emperor. The emperor immediately made a painful look of self-blame: "Old lady! It's my incompetence! Your children and grandchildren are all serving the country in the north, and it is my duty to raise money and food for them, so how can I let you donate silver! ”

"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Mu replied: "The Mu family has been blessed with the emperor's grace for many years, and has never paid a penny of tax and silver to the national treasury, and the war in the north is tight at present, but the treasury is empty, and the household department can't take out so much military silver. ”

The third actor who should appear is Jiang Wenbin. Don't look at Jiang Wenbin's usual work, his performance level is quite good, and his voice is very sincere and touching.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Wenbin hurriedly knelt down: "Although General Mu is fighting the enemy in the north, we really shouldn't accept the Mu family's donations. But the military spending can't last a few days! ”
