Chapter 50: As Qing Wishes
Yang Xi held the teacup and thought for a long time before saying, "Since I call you a concubine, you can't do it all?" β
Chen Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, as the king of a country, he could be called a low voice when he said it to such an equal point. Therefore, she leaned back in her chair and began to carefully analyze the current situation, and only after a long time did she say, "How much does the military pay cost?" β
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver!" Yang Xi was overjoyed when she saw her take the initiative to speak, and at the same time began to understand that since she dared to ask like this, then even if she didn't do it back then, I am afraid that it was related to her.
"You can't make up 200,000 taels of silver in a row, do you?" Chen Qingxuan frowned slightly, what are you kidding, the dignified Zhou Kingdom, the territory is vast, and the material is rich, how can it be that it can't make up a mere 200,000 taels of silver.
"Yes!" Yang Xi nodded and said, "But after I take out the 200,000, what will I do in the future?" The taxes outside are not as good as a year after year, and I don't want to increase the burden on the people and increase taxes! β
"Increasing taxes will shake the foundation of the country!" Chen Qingxuan also frowned, some people deserve to die, but the people in the world are innocent.
"I know!" Yang Xi put down the teacup and asked, "So, I want to ask Concubine Ai, is there a way to turn around?" β
"Yes, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be reluctant, and he may not be able to pull this face!" Chen Qingxuan played with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and smiled lightly.
"I still have face?" Yang Xi sneered sarcastically, "I'm just a puppet who was brought to the stage, face? There's no lining left. β
"Go to Hongtong Money Village to borrow 200,000 taels of silver, but it's just a trivial matter!" Chen Qingxuan said.
Yang Xi was stunned, he never thought that Chen Qingxuan would come up with such an idea, yes, with a royal face, he is the king of a country, and it is indeed not a problem to find a money bank to borrow, but Hongtong money bank is different from ordinary money village - this money bank can be regarded as a century-old brand, and it is said that the royal family of Nanxia Kingdom is controlled by it, not only in the major cities and towns of Nanxia Kingdom and Great Zhou Kingdom, but also in Yueshi, Beisai, Nanban and other places far away outside the Sai.
"If you borrow for a month, the interest is not high, Your Majesty can afford it!" Chen Qingxuan said lightly.
"A month?" Yang Xi touched his smooth chin, a month? What did he pay back?
"Since you don't obey discipline, there is no need for the four families in Jiangnan to exist!" Chen Qingxuan shook his head, did she still want her to teach him such things?
Yang Xi looked at her in shock, Chen Qingxuan changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and then said, "Your Majesty won't be reluctant, right?" β
"No!" Yang Xi shook his head and said, "I just want to think that those four families are inextricably linked with many elders in the capital, and I'm afraidβ"
"Pull it all in?" Chen Qingxuan sneered, "All the patriarchs are patriarchs, and that is Your Majesty's, even though it is like the old plum blossoms in front of the court, with lush branches and complex root systems, they can't migrate - but if you don't have the consequences, just transplant them." What's more, if you want to move those four, you don't need to alarm the capital at all. β
Yang Xi held the teacup, thought about it for a long time, and finally asked tentatively: "Who is worthy of the important task?" He understood what Chen Qingxuan meant, but most of the people on his side had some connection with those four families, and after thinking about it, there was no reliable person.
Chen Qingxuan pondered for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "Zhuzi Yao!" β
"Whenβ" The teacup in Yang Xi's hand fell to the ground and fell apart.
Chen Qingxuan didn't seem to see it, picked up the teacup, and ate the tea slowly. Yang Xi couldn't hide the horror in his heart, Zhuzi Yao? His Grand Commander of the Dragon Praetorian Guard, the one who guards the safety of the Imperial City, is actually - her person?
"Your Majesty needs to be so surprised?" Chen Qingxuan asked slowly, "What could be worse than the current situation for you?" β
Listening to Chen Qingxuan's sarcasm, Yang Xi took a deep breath and nodded: "That's right, just do what Concubine Ai said, I will go!" β
"There is no need for a holy decree, as long as Your Majesty says a word!" Chen Qingxuan chuckled.
"I understand, I'll do it!" Yang Xi said, he had already stood up resolutely and strode towards the door, but the moment he walked to the door, he stopped, turned to stare at Chen Qingxuan, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Concubine Ai is borrowing a knife to kill!" β
"I only kill those who deserve to be killed!" Chen Qingxuan raised her eyebrows, "Besides, borrowing a knife to kill people - no one uses it better than Your Majesty!" β
"Thanks for the compliment!" Yang Xi nodded and said, "Although I have been waiting for you, I am still very surprised and surprised that you appeared in front of me in this way, I have always believed that you are my lucky star - in fact, I have never forgotten you since I parted back then!" β
"But I forgot everything!" Chen Qingxuan said slowly, she knew that some things could not be hidden, there was no impermeable wall in this world, and there was no paper-wrapped fire, not to mention that she was not prepared to hide it for a long time, if she dared to come, she was not afraid that he would know.
Yang Xi was about to raise his feet, but Chen Qingxuan's faint voice came: "If I were Your Majesty, I would let Gu Kai come back from Jiangnan immediately......"
Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what she was going to do, and immediately nodded: "As Qing wishes!" β
"Your Majesty remember, you only have one month!" Chen Qingxuan didn't forget to remind sarcastically, "Moreover, let Gu Kai return to Beijing, it wasn't for me!" β
Yang Xi didn't say anything this time, opened the curtain by himself, turned around and left.
Chen Qingxuan looked at the broken teacup on the ground, a smile on the corner of her mouth, it seemed that she was really scared of him today, closed her eyes, the scene of the year flashed in her mind again, the flames that rose into the sky, countless dead corpses......
200,000 soldiers, that's a river of blood!
After waiting for Yang Xi to go, after Bamboo came in to clean up the broken teacup, Yuehe quietly walked in and asked in a low voice, "Miss, did you quarrel with Your Majesty?" β
"No, Your Majesty accidentally missed!" Chen Qingxuan said.
"When I watched His Majesty leave, my face was not very good!" Yuehe asked worriedly.
"Your Majesty is just worried about state affairs, don't worry!" Chen Qingxuan chuckled.
Seeing Chen Qingxuan so calm, Yuehe was also relieved, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "It's strange-"
"What's weird?" Chen Qingxuan asked puzzled.
"Your Majesty picked four small wrestlers to come over, saying that our Qinghe Hall is a big place and there are few people, lest there will not be enough people to call!" Tsukiwa whispered.
"He's pretty fast!" Chen Qingxuan smiled, I hope his other speed is just as fast.
"It turned out that the eldest lady was looking for the person His Majesty wanted, I was still wondering just now!" Yuehe said with a smile, "Just now, the palm of the restaurant sent lunch, and sent two more dishes, do you want to eat it now, or are you waiting for a while?" β
"I'm not too hungry yet, wait!" Chen Qingxuan shook his head, he didn't move when he got up in the morning and ate, and he wasn't hungry at all.
