Chapter 599: Loud and Loud
Sosato sneered in his heart, "Oh? Why did Lord Zhou say this? ”
"Not to mention that this Pei Song has already confessed to the law, let's just say that with the noble background of the princess, anything in the world, but whatever you want, there is nothing that the emperor can't give you. In that case, why bother to take the 300,000 taels of silver that gradually moated the city? ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the courtiers to echo each other, and they exchanged their heads and discussed, "That's it, Princess Danqing's offense for herself is too obvious", "I'm afraid this matter is really related to General Chang'an, otherwise Princess Danqing wouldn't be so anxious to come over to help cover it up." ’
There was a lot of discussion below, and when the emperor and the crown prince heard it, their faces were solemn, and they didn't know what the hell the hell this unconscious daughter and sister was doing?
The hometown smiled indifferently and continued to say unhurriedly, "Actually, this matter was originally intended to surprise the imperial grandmother and grandmother, just because the imperial grandmother and grandmother are both people who believe in gods and Buddhas, but there is no Buddhist temple in the capital, and the nearest Linghua Temple is dozens of miles away from the suburbs of the capital, which is located in a remote area, and it is very inconvenient to pray every time." That's why I thought about building a Buddhist temple in the city for the emperor's grandmother and grandmother to pray for blessings in the future. ”
Zhou Siyuan didn't expect her to use this kind of reason, it really takes such a large amount of money to build a Buddhist temple, and in the name of honoring the Queen Mother and the old lady of the Liefu, it makes people can't make mistakes.
However, even so, it is full of loopholes.
Zhou Siyuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "But even if it is to build a Buddhist temple, Princess Danqing can directly ask the emperor for expenses, why do you have to use these 300,000 taels of official silver?" ”
"Lord Zhou, I have just said that I want to give the imperial grandmother and the grandmother at home a surprise, which is a surprise, of course, I have to hide it from everyone in secret, how can I find my father to spend it? 300,000 taels of silver also need to be spent from the treasury, and once the treasury is used, it must be approved by the Ministry of Households. ”17
The corners of Zhou Siyuan's lips twitched slightly, and his eyes flashed with a sharp cold light, "But as far as Weichen knows, when the princess got married, the emperor and the queen prepared a rich dowry, and this dowry is probably more than enough to build ten Buddhist temples, so why bother the princess to take the initiative to use the 300,000 taels of silver?" ”
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar again, and they all nodded in agreement.
The dowry of this Danqing princess when she got married was that it shocked the entire capital, which was unprecedented, and there was no one who came after, with such a rich dowry, then it was not a big joke to run to use 300,000 taels of silver?
"Lord Zhou doesn't know."
However, the hometown is still calm and calm, with a dignified and generous smile, "Although the dowry of this princess is indeed very rich, these dowries are all rare treasures such as brocade and silk, jewelry, rare medicinal materials, and fine ceramics, not cash. Building a Buddhist temple requires a large amount of cash, even if I have jewelry of the same value, but there is no money bank in the capital that can cash me 300,000 taels of silver in a short period of time, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Siyuan's face changed instantly.
Her retort was so loud that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also had nothing to say.
But Zhou Siyuan still found a flaw, and sneered again, "Even so, the princess obviously took the 300,000 taels of silver, why did she remain silent for a few days after the incident, and only came to this hall today to tell the truth?" ”
