Ji Shangshu wiped away his tears and knelt down in front of Midnight: "Nineteenth Master, the minister went back and calculated carefully, the earthquake silver and things sent to Quyang this time were divided into twelve distributions, and the total amount was forty-three million taels. ”

More than 40 million taels, the Wang family is really not afraid of death.

He already understands what the emperor means, and this Ji Shangshu is also interesting, is this to ask him to ask for an explanation for his second brother?

"What do you mean? The emperor is no longer allowed to take care of it, do you want the lord to go against the emperor's will? ”

"I don't dare." Midnight's voice was already a little cold, Ji Shangshu knew that he was overstepping, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, but he still had the courage to continue:

"The minister doesn't mean to come out of the nineteenth master, the minister feels worthless for King Ping.

King Ping is still worried about the reconstruction of Quyang in the south of the Yangtze River, but the capital is...

The minister wants to ask the nineteenth master, can you ask the emperor to suspend the matter of the officials giving silver, not too long, give the minister a month, and the minister will make up for the silver. ”

Anyway, he didn't do anything to offend people, and the purpose of his trip was to not let King Ping worry about things in the capital while he was outside. But the emperor's tone towards him today did not have the slightest intention of standing up for the household.

He really had no choice, so he begged the Nineteenth Master, hoping to take advantage of the emperor's favor to slow down the matter.

As long as the emperor speaks in person, even if it is just a meaning, the matter of the lack of silver in the treasury can be suppressed.

Midnight looked at Ji Shangshu who was kneeling there with some amusement: "You are funny, the Internal Affairs Office is the waist of the royal family, and the treasury is the waist of the people of the world, but whether it is the Internal Affairs Office or the National Treasury, in the final analysis, it is the emperor's pocket."

The emperor is not in a hurry when his pockets are empty, but you are in a hurry. ”

The emperor is so lacking in virtue that he has forced a diligent and patriotic official to look like this.

This brain has been short-circuited, right?

Can you hear the sound of water when you shake it?

Well????

Ji Shangshu was stunned for a moment, but after he was stunned, he reacted with a little embarrassment, and looked up at Midnight in surprise: "What does the nineteenth master mean?" ”

"You haven't been able to contact the second brother, what can you do if the treasury is empty?" Midnight laughed so complacently, he had been holding back his anger for a long time, as if he could output a loss.

Ji Shangshu's eyes lit up, and he wanted to run out when he got up: "The minister will go into the palace to face the saint." ”

"Come back."

Ji Shangshu's legs froze in mid-air like that, and his whole body trembled and trembled unconsciously.

Nineteen masters, little people, how can they be so imposing? That momentum, he didn't feel it in front of the emperor.

"What are you going to say to the emperor now? Do you think the Wang family has no chance to trouble the second brother? "Isn't it stupid? At this time, I went to tell the emperor, so why did he breathe that way?

"Uhhhhh What do you mean?

Didn't you tell the emperor about this kind of thing earlier, so that the emperor would have been prepared?

Midnight hooked his finger at him, and after Ji Shangshu walked to his side in a daze, he grabbed him by the collar and pulled the person to his ear: "Do you want to teach the Wang family a lesson?" ”

"Yes." I thought so much.

"Then listen to the master, you will go to the emperor to play the emperor at twenty-seven or eighteen, and you will cry miserably."

Twenty-seven eight?

Do you have to cry a lot?

However, those who can be trusted by King Ping will naturally not be fools, and with a slight turn of his mind, he roughly understood the meaning of the nineteenth master, and immediately nodded violently, laughing more obscenely than midnight.

&

Finally, I was able to keep myself from being suffocated to death, and midnight began to return to the days before leaving Beijing.

Upper court, lower court, criminal department, return home.

Because of the sudden retreat of the ancestors of the Wang family, and the emperor's unclear attitude, the Wang family was overstretched for a while, but they didn't dare to make any more moves, at least on the surface, and even the prince was a lot of peace.

Uncle Nine Emperor has never been to the court since he was sick, although he has not pushed it because of his business, but after the funeral of the Empress Dowager, Uncle Nine Emperor has returned to the state of not leaving the house.

It can be said that after the great work of King Xian in curing the epidemic, he did not receive the same praise as this achievement, and did not see the attitude of King Xian in his dissatisfaction with such injustice, but in exchange for a brief moment of peace.

As for the dark tide inside, who knows when it will swell, and how many people will be washed away when it swells.

No one knows how long this peace can be calm, and the people can do whatever they want every day, but in the court, an invisible oppressive atmosphere has swept in the hearts of everyone, and the weird thing has also made the officials in the court who usually talk nonsense all fall silent.

People say that life, life, either you live without life, or life with you.

And today, Midnight felt that he had been properly dismissed.

Looking at the girl in front of her who was crying with red and swollen eyes, there was a big problem in the middle of the night that I couldn't figure out.

When he was hairy, he became a confidant big brother?

took the handkerchief from Gaze'er and handed it over, Midnight tried his best to make his tone no longer as cold as usual: "Ranran, can you talk about it first?" ”

Just cried into the house, and then no one could stop him [of course, she was a princess, and no one dared to touch her limbs to stop him] rushed to his study, and then cried on a few tables without saying a word, he just wanted to be a confidant brother, and he had to know the reason, right?

"Night. . . Ahh Night brother,Yet。。 Ahh Of course. Ahh Don't marry. The little girl was already crying to the point of hiccups, and she could only vaguely hear what she was saying.

"Marry? Who to marry? "How old is this girl, why is it the question of whether to marry or not?

When it comes to getting married, it should be her first.

When she asked in the middle of the night, the little girl cried even more.

Well, seeing that she was crying sadly, she couldn't ask anything, so Midnight could only signal Nightshadow to find out what was going on.

The speed of the night shadow is very fast, after Midnight sent the little girl who had fainted from crying to the guest house in person, and let the staring keep an eye on it for a moment, and just returned to the study, the night shadow returned.

"And pro? A small country of ancient wood? "Midnight said that he was sorry for himself if he was not surprised.

Gumu is really a small country that can't be smaller, located not far from the northwest pass of Yanxi, and Gumu is the third largest country in this continent - Haoguo [Yanxi ranks second], it can be said that it is a country that survives in the cracks.

The area is not wide, almost the size of a state, because of the cold, it is really cold, not the weather on the mountainside, it is the ordinary weather of the ancient wood country, so the average life expectancy is low, and the average people are only in their thirties, and the total population is only nearly one million.

It is also because of the weather that the Gumi Kingdom can safely stay between the two powers, because it is an even more difficult problem for the soldiers to pass through the Gumaki Country safely.

Also because of the cold, the cruelty of Gumu is not lower than that of Buzhou Mountain, and in order to survive, there are not too many cannibals or anything.
