"To serve the country, how can you lend money to the emperor?" An Guogong said with a smile, "It should be regarded as the minister's family adding some glory to the queen mother and His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"A year ago, I could have 500,000 yuan in cash, which is enough to solve the urgent need." Chen Yuantai ignored his words about the queen and the crown prince, and calculated the accounts on his own, "As for the rest of the part, the salt roads in Jin, Henan, and Lu should be able to fill this hole, right?" ”

In one sentence, the hearts of the Deng father and son jumped, could it be that Chen Yuantai wanted to take back the monopoly of salt and iron in the hands of the Deng family under the pretext of the war in the south? If this time I agreed, the Wu-Yue war ended, and Chen Yuantai no longer mentioned the return, what should I do for my own family?

Looking at the uncertain expressions on the faces of the Deng father and son, Chen Yuantai felt a burst of happiness in his heart. The ability to ask for a price and pay back the money on the ground is not only you, but also me!

"Since 500,000 taels can be used for a while," An Guogong smiled reluctantly, "then it will be easy to do." After the old minister went back to raise the money, he immediately sent someone to deliver it to the household department. The remaining 500,000 taels will definitely be sent to the front-line army before the money is exhausted. ”

"An Guogong don't be embarrassed," Chen Yuantai sneered in his heart, but his face was full of spring breeze, "After all, salt and iron are the wealth of the country, and it is easier to use it." The money used in the public and private treasury of Anguo to fight on the front line is not good-looking......"

"No, no," An Guogong hurriedly waved his hand, "Everything is about state affairs, and this little false name of An Guogong's Mansion is not enough to worry about." As long as the household department does not leak the news, the Anguo Mansion will never spread it. "No more words to add glory to the queen and the crown prince.

Chen Yuantai saw that the deal was almost discussed, and was thinking about whether to hand a ladder to the Deng father and son and ask them to bring up Deng Wenjiao's matter, when he heard the prince of An Guo sobbing softly.

Chen Yuantai frowned, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, the prince of An Guo is about the same age as himself, how can he cry when he cries?

"What's going on? But at home, Mrs. Shizi is angry with you? Chen Yuantai asked playfully.

The prince of An Guo fell to his knees, and said with a sad face: "Please forgive the emperor for the crime of dereliction in front of the courtiers!" ”

"Get up and talk." Chen Yuantai commanded.

The prince of An Guo looked up at Shen Yao and Li Mobai, and snorted: "This matter is very humiliating, and the minister has no face to say it in front of Xingguo Gong and Li Gongzi......"

Chen Yuantai was tired of his behavior as a woman who wanted to talk about it, and waved his hand to Shen and Li: "You guys go back today, I will summon you again if there is something." ”

Shen Yao and Li Mobai respectfully retreated.

"There is only one son and one daughter by the minister's side, and the son is obsessed with business and does not want to enter the office, so the minister will go with him after a few lessons. originally thought that his son was unfilial, but his daughter was quite caring. Who knows, who knows," Prince An Guo seemed to be really angry, and his lips trembled when he spoke, "Who knew that unfilial girl actually had a ...... with King Ning"

After a pause, seeing that Chen Yuantai was noncommittal, the prince of An Guo had no choice but to continue: "I think that King Ning is already married, is it possible that the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to be a concubine?" I beat and scolded, and Wen Jiao just didn't listen......"

Therefore, your family is asking for the position of concubine. Chen Yuantai took a sip of tea and still didn't say a word.

"Last night, Princess Ning suddenly became dizzy and unconscious. Wen Jiao cared about King Ning's mansion, and secretly ran over early this morning, wanting to give King Ning a hand and take care of the two children by the way...... King Ning checked and found that it was Aunt Du in the palace who poisoned Princess Ning, so he called Aunt Du's father to the palace. This Aunt Du is the half-sister of Princess Jin, so Princess Jin then went to King Ning's mansion. In order to save her sister, Princess Jin actually put the charge of poisoning Princess Ning on Wen Jiao's head......"

"Your Majesty," the prince of An Guo really cared about his daughter, and he kowtowed on the ground three times, crying and said, "Although Wen Jiao has a somewhat lively temperament, she is definitely not a vicious person. She originally had a relationship with King Ning, and she had never done anything deviant, thinking that the two had no hope of getting married, and often cried in her room. Your Majesty, if Princess Jin is allowed to detain the crime on Wen Jiao's head, then Wen Jiao will only have a dead end! The minister and his wife are over forty years old, and they only have these two evil animals, if something happens to Wen Jiao, then the minister ......"

Although Chen Yuantai did not send someone to investigate, according to Deng Wenjiao's daily behavior and his understanding of Du Mingxin's character, he already believed Li Mobai's words.

His fingers tapped over the wide bookcase, thinking about the changes this might bring to the court.

What Deng Wenjiao is asking for is about the identity of a prince and princess, so what about the Deng family? Sun Deng Hong, the governor of the Anguo Mansion, as his father said, has been taking care of the Deng family's business and has not participated in the affairs of the court. And the Deng family also let him do this, this place is a bit incomprehensible to Chen Yuantai.

The Deng family has always wanted to consolidate the relationship with the military generals and nobles of the DPRK and China through marriage, but they have been repeatedly disrupted by their own wishful thinking. This time I fell in love with Chen Ting, didn't it be impossible to pick up ready-made, so I decided to cultivate a general by myself?

Chen Yuantai sneered secretly, no one knew Chen Ting's catties better than him, who was an uncle. Chen Ting also practiced martial arts, but because the Queen Mother pitied him for being the only seedling in their house, she resolutely refused to allow him to go to the battlefield, because the Deng family did not know Chen Ting's ability. Bet the treasure on Chen Ting, this business, the Deng family is afraid that they will lose.

If he plays with the imperial power trick, then Chen Yuantai should push the boat down the river and directly give Princess Deng Wenjiaoning the title. Thinking of Zheng and her two children, he felt unbearable. How can we get the best of both worlds?

Seeing that Chen Yuantai was thinking, the prince of An Guo didn't dare to disturb, and secretly shifted his weight from his left knee to his right knee, but he didn't dare to rub his already numb legs.

A little eunuch quietly walked in from the outside and reported: "Your Majesty, someone from Cining Palace came to spread the word that because Princess Ning was seriously ill and had not recovered, the Queen Mother took pity on the two imperial grandsons and had no one to take care of them, so she sent Princess Anping to King Ning's Mansion to bring the two imperial grandsons into the palace. ”

Chen Yuantai's eyes lit up, and finally his mother did something that was in his favor. An Ping went to pick it up, and Chen Ting and Deng Wenjiao didn't dare to stop it. These two children grew up in the palace, and no matter how long Deng Wenjiao's hand was, he couldn't reach Cining Palace.

An Guogong's father and son are a little unable to see through, last night it was clear that Chen Ting had already said that he had moved the Queen Mother, why did he suddenly have to raise those two children today? Their original plan was to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of these two banes, otherwise Deng Wenjiao would be Princess Ning, but the prince would be from the Zheng family, wouldn't it be chaotic in the future?
