Chapter 365: Interrogating the Xiao Family

In front of silver, Emperor Qin Yuan's bottom line is often relatively low.

He is not partial, Xiao is already helping Gu Mingzhu.

However, after a while, Qin Yu gave Emperor Qin Yuan a stack of silver tickets.

Emperor Qin Yuan quickly stuffed it into his cuffs, and Qin Yu said softly: "Erchen thinks that since Mrs. Gu paid for the meal, did she also let the courtiers who ate in the palace understand who gave the money?" ”

Emperor Qin Yuan's face was gloomy, did he still want to lose face?

Qin Yu said quickly: "Mrs. Gu gave a lot of silver, which is enough to entertain the courtiers a few more times, not to mention that there is a precedent for Mrs. Gu to give silver to her father, and the courtiers will follow suit in the future." In addition to the palace banquet set up by the father, the courtiers who entered the palace for dinner in the future can also be deducted from their money. ”

That's a good idea.

Every year, Emperor Qin Yuan scratched his head for the courtiers' meals, whoever eats pays, and the emperor's money is not blown by the wind.

"Just do as you say."

"Father is wise."

Qin Yu is also a person who has been an emperor, and he knows everything about the entertainment in the officialdom, and many officials use the silver in the yamen to entertain guests.

After all, there are many things that need to be negotiated between the six ministries and other departments, and it is impossible to negotiate and resolve them all in the yamen.

This amount of silver does not seem to be much, but Qin Yu calculated it when he was emperor, and all of it has accumulated is by no means a small amount.

After Emperor Qin Yuan set an example and let the officials pay for their own meals, Qin Yu could also start reforming this yamen's expenditure.

In the palace, the courtiers felt that today's dinner was much richer, not like the emperor's style.

After all, every time the emperor holds a banquet, although there is no shortage of dishes and wine, it is by no means as rich as today.

Maybe the emperor thinks that they are tired all day and need to be treated?

The courtiers were a little more grateful to Emperor Qin Yuan.

The emperor still loves and cares about his courtiers.

However, Emperor Qin Yuan picked up the wine glass and said, "This glass of wine is to pay homage to Mrs. Gu first, without her giving money, I can't feast the courtiers!" You should think that this meal is not easy to come by, and in the future, you will accompany me to eat, and the courtiers should also give some silver. ”

"I have allowed my courtiers to dine with me, as a sign of your loyalty to me."

Courtier: "......"

Woman: "......"

At this time, everyone's heart is broken, is the empire about to perish?

When the emperor can't afford to hold a banquet, he needs his courtiers to offer silver?

That's not right.

Since Emperor Qin Yuan ascended the throne, Great Qin has always been in good weather, with abundant grains and prosperous animals.

Even the disasters that occurred almost every year in the previous dynasty did not occur, because Emperor Qin Yuan attached too much importance to the treasury taxes, and the officials and nobles did not dare to think about the treasury silver.

Emperor Qin Yuan never killed people softly, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, some civil officials felt that Emperor Qin Yuan would not settle accounts, so he secretly embezzled a sum of silver...... Emperor Qin Yuan skinned dozens of corrupt officials and dug up their bones, and punished the nine clans of corrupt officials.

Although it has been ten years since the case, the officials who watched the execution were still in the court, and they shuddered at the thought of the bloody scene.

Emperor Qin Yuan also had secret agents from hundreds of officials such as Jinyiwei, and even the nobles who fought the world with Emperor Qin Yuan did not dare to be greedy for ink and silver easily.

They also vaguely understood that silver was extremely important in the emperor's heart.

Now Emperor Qin Yuan was once again exposed as a scoundrel to save money, asking courtiers to invite the emperor to dinner to show his loyalty.

If a courtier makes a mistake, can he invite the emperor to dine and be exempted from sin?

More than one person thought so, but seeing Emperor Qin Yuan's tall body and greedy pride, the courtiers stopped thinking about it.

In order to get rid of the crime, invite the emperor to dinner, and the emperor will be more ruthless when he raids his house.

The corners of Mrs. Gu's mouth were smug, and she praised Gu Mingzhu, who was hanging her head lower, "When I gave the silver to King Kangle, I didn't expect the emperor to explain the truth and invite the Manchu Dynasty to have a meal, I didn't dare to think about it before. ”

It's great to show off your wealth.

"Go and bring the Xiao Clan, and the Big Xiao Clan, I will hear what they have to say."

In just a moment, the Xiao clan was led to Emperor Qin Yuan together with the Great Xiao clan.

Xiao Shi was silent, and Emperor Qin Yuan could feel a bitter hatred from the depths of her eyes.

Da Xiao has a little more energy, and he looks a little younger, but his old face is always not as beautiful as Xiao's.

Emperor Qin Yuan's hand rested on the armrest and sighed: "If you are willing to be the Duchess of Zhenguo with peace of mind and admit that Gu Yuan is Gu Xuan's eldest son, I will not be as embarrassed as I am today." ”

"Still." Emperor Qin Yuan laughed at himself, "If you don't do anything, I won't see your true face clearly!" ”

Xiao Shi knelt down and said: "The embroiderer is indeed not embroidered by the courtier, but the piece of silk is spun by the courtier's own hand, Your Majesty should understand that embroidery is important, and the quality of silk determines the level of embroidery!" ”

"The courtiers can give the emperor more silk in exchange for war horses and the silver you love, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qin Yuan loved silver, and he didn't care that people close to him knew about his penchant for silver.

The courtiers knew that it was one thing, but it was not what Emperor Qin Yuan wanted to put this matter on the surface.

In the past, he thought that Xiao was quite smart, but recently, he always did stupid things as if he had fallen into evil.

"She used a secret method to treat her face wounds." Gu Ruyi answered Gu Mingzhu's doubts, "Although I don't know that she uses the secret method, it is obviously not the right way to treat a disease, even if the medical skill will ignore some abnormal reactions of the body in order to cure a disease, but in order to save her life, abnormal reactions such as uncomfortable diarrhea are not so important." ”

"After all, life is the most important thing."

"Sister has to mean the heavier of the two."

Gu Ruyi nodded and said, "What I want to do now is to save lives and try to cause as few abnormal reactions as possible to patients, and improve the prescription to make it more suitable for patients." However, the reason why the secret method is called the evil sect is that the effect is very good, but there are also many evil consequences. ”

"Sister is suspicious ......"

Gu Mingzhu didn't sympathize with Xiao Shi at all, and hooked the corners of his mouth: "If you want to get a return, how can you do it without paying the price?" ”

Gu Ruyi said: "I'm afraid that her brain will be affected by something, and her mood has become agitated, and she is not as calm as before." ”

"Maybe Xiao Shi thinks that he can move the emperor again, and the emperor will listen to whatever she says."

"It's possible!"

Gu Ruyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said softly: "Xiao Shi is a good test subject. ”

She wouldn't do some tests on living people easily.

But Xiao Shi herself plunged into the pit of the secret method, and she made her own decision, Gu Ruyi adhered to the principle of waste utilization, and Xu could use Xiao Shi's secret method to improve some prescriptions.

This can be regarded as the real benefit of the people.

"I don't believe you have any words, the person who embroidered the embroidery is Da Xiao, and that piece of silk was also given to me by her, you are just a villain who risked her own merits, and even did not hesitate to kill people."

Emperor Qin Yuan sneered: "If you listen to the method of weaving brocade from the mouth of the Great Xiao Clan, I can get everything I want to know from your mouth." ”

His body leaned back, "Now I want to know more, how did you frame your mother-in-law and let her die in vain, the Xiao family's matter, for the sake of the embroidery offered by the Da Xiao family, I am in charge." ”
