Chapter 196: Interpretation

After that, Lord Yang also presented a list of gifts from various prefectures.

Gu Chongyue was a little surprised, this Lord Yang is really capable, he can even get this thing.

The emperor read the list, his face gradually turned cloudy and rainy, and he threw his fold at them: "Crown princess, seventh princess, what else do you two have to say!" The prince, the seventh child, as husbands, the husband is sluggish, and he can't control the wife in the house, and as a courtier, he has the grace of the saint and lets the people in the house collect money in the name of the banquet. As a member of the royal family, bullying the ministers and making the ministers complain a lot, you two can be convicted! ”

"Father, the son is wronged!" Shen Changan continued to cry out aggrievedly.

"Do you still dare to shout injustice?" The emperor can't wait to kill this uncompetitive son, so he can learn from the prince anyway, and reveal the matter silently, isn't it?

"Father, son-in-law is also wronged." Shen Changli also said.

The Emperor was silent.

Gu Chongyue glanced at Yun Zhu, and Yun Zhu began to sobble in a low voice: "Father, the son and the seventh brother and sister are also wronged!" ”

"The crown princess and the seventh princess, you two strong banquets for the ladies of various mansions, everyone in the city knows about this matter, is it possible that you still want to deny it?" Lord Yang didn't expect these two people to be so scoundrels, and they still had to cry out for injustice at this point.

"Father's grace." Gu Chongyue also spoke.

The emperor was a little surprised, these seven princesses married into the royal family, but it was the first time they called his father.

"Say it." The emperor said lightly, he also wanted to hear what tricks these two people could say.

Gu Chongyue lowered her head and made a sad gesture: "These days, the ministers and the imperial sister-in-law have indeed invited the ladies of various mansions and the ladies of the merchants' families to have a banquet in the mansion, and sold all kinds of treasures they received into cash silver.

In ten days, 1,800,000 taels of silver were sold, of which 500,000 taels were gifts or treasures from the prefectures, and the rest were gifts from merchants.

The amount is huge, and this is true. ”

This number shocked everyone in the DPRK and China.

You know, how much silver is in the treasury of the imperial court? But in ten days, such an amount of money is simply amazing.

Lord Yang didn't expect that there were so many when he made this list, and he was also startled at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the seven princesses have all admitted that with so much silver, I don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Seven Princes have used it!"

Now that the imperial court is providing disaster relief, everyone is frugal and frugal, but the two governments are ......"

"Lord Yang is smart, how could he know that the two of us have taken all the silver to disaster relief?" Gu Chongyue interrupted Lord Yang's half-confession.

The emperor looked at Gu Chongyue: "Seventh princess, you go on." ”

"Yes." Gu Chongyue continued respectfully: "My father ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince to take charge of the continuous influx of displaced people in the city, but there were more and more people, the city gate was blocked, and there was chaos in the city.

The two of us are just one woman, untalented and incompetent, no better than the ministers of the DPRK and China.

No matter how great the difficulty is, as long as there is silver, it is not a difficulty. ”

"So you two have a banquet for ten days in a row?" The Emperor continued to ask quietly, his voice softened.

"Yes, the ministers of the DPRK and China are honest, and the government does not have much silver to donate, so the two of us want to hold a banquet, and the gifts at the banquet are all ornaments, which are all taken to the pawnshop by each family.

But in order for my father to no longer worry, and for the prince to go home early every day to accompany his sons, we didn't care about our face and took things to sell. ”
