Chapter 102 Ransom
The emperor didn't expect Chu Ruojun's eyes to turn red, and he didn't feel angry and funny, "If you're angry, it's a big deal that you can fight back." β
"I'll beat you, I'm the emperor, who dares to beat you." Chu Ruojun looked at him viciously.
The emperor smiled bitterly and clenched his fists, laughing at himself, helpless and guilty.
"It's okay, I don't blame you." The emperor looked at her seriously.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Okay, then you sit there and don't fight back." Chu Ruojun suddenly smiled at the corners of her mouth, there were still faint tears in her eyes, but the smile on her face was extremely bright, like a bud on a branch after the rain, and the people present were a little stunned for a while.
The emperor looked at her in astonishment, but he didn't expect her to really fight back.
Chu Ruojun's face was still smiling faintly, his right hand was clenched into a fist, remembering that he had just given a punch without saying a word, and he scolded himself for being a fox spirit, so he held his breath in his heart and slammed his shoulder with a hard punch.
The little eunuch's eyes were quick, and he blocked this punch for the emperor, this punch was not strong, but it was enough for the little eunuch to frown in pain.
This punch made the little eunuch stupid, but it woke up the emperor, he just said it casually, he really didn't expect Chu Ruojun to fight back again.
This is still the first person who dares to hit himself.
Chu Ruojun glared at the little eunuch fiercely, and withdrew her hand unhappily.
"Miss Chu, do you feel a little better?" The little eunuch frowned and asked in a low voice.
She said in a vicious voice, "No! β
The little eunuch looks like he lets himself beat and scold, and he doesn't have any sense of accomplishment when he beats him!
"If you still feel bad in your heart, the slave will let you get angry."
"Forget it." Chu Ruojun frowned.
She only reacted at this time, is it a little inappropriate to beat the emperor in front of the golden man, but he also hit himself first, and he can't blame himself.
Hum!
.......
Chen Guo.
Shen Yi sat next to the dragon chair, and a eunuch ran in quickly and handed the letter written by the newly arrived Golden Wing to Shen Yi's hand.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty held their breath, couldn't help but look up at him, and saw the handwritten letter with the golden wings in his hand, his face gradually turned pale, and then turned cyan, and after a while, he took a picture of the letter, "500,000 taels of silver, Hongchou needs 500,000 taels of silver to release the emperor." β
The minister was stunned, and there was a lot of discussion, and Shen Yi also frowned, thinking deeply.
Shen Yi tried to restrain his tone and said: "Since the imperial brother ordered me to supervise the country, I have the right to decide, and the 500,000 taels of silver must be obtained." β
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, sending troops twice, coupled with the emperor's personal expedition, has exhausted the treasury, 500,000 taels of silver, and the household department really can't take it out." The newly appointed Tobe Shangshu gave up his hand and subconsciously touched his beard.
"Nonsense! How can it not even be 500,000 taels. Shen Yi's face sank.
"Your Highness, the household department really can't come up with so much money at one time, if you pour out all the world, you can come up with so much, but what should the government do when the time comes? What should be done about people's livelihood? What if Jin Guo gets the ransom and doesn't let the emperor go? What if the Macro Chip attacks again? Chen Guoke didn't even have the salary to send troops again. Shen Yi was asked by this four in a row, if he didn't pay the ransom, Hongchou felt that it was useless to keep the emperor, and killed him in a rage, what would the people under that day say, how would the historian write, he would write that he didn't want the emperor to come back alive at all, and he would write that he killed the emperor with Hongchou's hand to achieve the goal of sitting on the throne.
Shen Yi closed his eyes in pain, and suddenly spoke, "Lin Shuai, what do you think, is it true that the household department can't take out so much silver?" β
Lin Shuai's voice was calm, "That's true, that Hongchou is ambitious, and it is very likely that he will get the ransom and not let go of the emperor, and once again the lion will open his mouth, and when the time comes, this will be a bottomless pit." β
Shen Yi listened and gritted his teeth, "Then what do you say?" β
A high-pitched voice sounded: "The queen has arrivedβ"
Everyone knelt down, "See the queen mother." β
Shen Yi's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly greeted him.
"None of you are willing to take the money, this money, this palace will take it." The queen's clothes are still gorgeous, her face is still noble and dignified, but the exquisite makeup can't hide the haggard on her face, she looked at the courtiers kneeling down in the palace, and said: "You ministers, the emperor can be said to take you a lot on weekdays, but now that the emperor is trapped in the Jin country, you are so unkind.......
The queen's emotions were too excited, and the more she spoke, the more rapid her tone became, and she couldn't help crying bitterly, her face full of tears: "Your Majesty...... If you leave, will Hongu be able to live alone? β
Shen Yi was dumbfounded, looked around, and sighed, "Don't be sad Queen Mother, we are also discussing countermeasures, and we will never fail to save the imperial brother." β
The queen asked the maid behind her to open a wide wooden box, which was full of jewelry and jade pendants.
"These are all the private wealth of the palace, and there are some dowries, Lin Shuai, you can use these to redeem the emperor." The queen sobbed, her eyes full of sadness, "If you can't redeem it, it will be regarded as the emperor's life is not good, and he has become the son of heaven of Da Chen in vain......"
Shen Yi looked at the hoarse queen crying in front of her, and her thin lips were tightly pursed.
She cried and called the emperor at the same time, and Shen Yi was worried that she would have to turn her back at any time.
Listening to her words, he felt very uncomfortable, no matter what, the emperor must save him.
He looked at the queen with a sincere gaze, "Even if I fight for the strength of the whole country, I will definitely save the emperor." β
The queen smiled self-deprecatingly: "You don't have to fight for the strength of the whole country, when the lord of Nan'an County got married, the queen mother gave 10,000 taels of gold and 100 acres of fertile land, I don't know if Princess Qi is reluctant to take out one or two to save Da Chen in danger." β
The queen was still sobbing, but the pain in her eyes had receded a little, "Of course, if Princess Qi is unwilling, then forget it, after all, it is the reward of the queen mother, and this palace will say so casually." β
The ministers in the hall knew in their hearts that although the queen only mentioned it, it was not just a mention, Princess Qi would definitely have to pay for it.
Shen Yi sighed, looking guilty: "Don't worry, the queen, even if you sell my fiefdom, you will make up enough ransom to save the imperial brother back." β
The queen gradually stopped sobbing, and her red and swollen eyes looked at him.
Anyway, Shen Yi's words made the queen's heart feel a lot more at ease.
The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and it is incumbent on him to contribute to the country.
Shen Yi went to Shao Shifang to discuss this matter, and Shao Shifang saw him with a smile on his face.
However, she was happy too early, and after listening to Shen Yi's words, her pupils suddenly constricted.
"In the face of national crisis, as a member of the royal family, I should contribute...... But ......"
"Can't you do it?" Shen Yi's voice was faint, "That's okay, I can't force the princess to donate it, I just sold the fief." β
Shao Shifang shook her fingers, "The concubine didn't agree, it's just that the concubine's father is sick in bed, and the money is the only thing the concubine can rely on." β
"Aren't you a princess? Isn't there still me? Shen Yi asked softly.
"Your Highness?" Shao Shifang looked at him in disbelief, it was the first time he had said such a thing to himself.
Shen Yi poured himself a cup of tea, savored it carefully, and did not speak.
Shao Shifang looked at him stunned: "Yes, why did the concubine forget, and His Royal Highness." β
He said that he would be the princess of Qi for the rest of his life.
Even if Chu Ruojun came back, she would be a concubine at most, and even if she mixed into the team of the royal driver without saying hello, His Royal Highness King Qi must be a little angry with her.
Thinking of this, Shao Shifang smiled, Now that she has donated some of her treasures, she can show that Princess Qi cares about the world, solves her worries for the country, and earns a good reputation.
Moreover, he can't say anything to let His Royal Highness King Qi sell his fief, if he really sells his fief to make up the ransom, then wouldn't he have the reputation of a miser who has money and refuses to give out, as a princess, watching the prince sell his fief.
She smiled: "For the sake of the emperor, the queen mother donated her private wealth and dowry, and the concubines admired it in their hearts, and they were willing to follow the queen mother and contribute to the country." β
Shen Yi curled the corners of his lips and laughed silently.
Shao Shifang said in his heart: Since he donated it, the rest of the harem must not be empty-handed.
When Shen Yi heard her say this, he was relieved, lifted his robe and got up to go out, Shao Shifang grabbed his sleeve, looked at him with a warm attitude, and said softly: "Your Highness, won't you stay here with the concubine tonight?" β
Shen Yiyun hooked the corners of his lips lightly, "Recently, the government affairs have been busy, and this king often has to be busy until midnight, so he still doesn't disturb the concubine's rest." β
Shao Shifang nodded, disapproving, he is now in charge of the country, he should take the common people in the world as his own responsibility, how can he be obsessed with these Xu children's affections, and when the ransom is called, the golden man is released back to the emperor, and the emperor is in charge of the world again, he will not be so tired.
She just smiled, "Your Highness should also pay attention to your body, don't work too hard for government affairs." β
Shen Yi smiled gently at her, "The princess is sensible, worthy of being from a famous family, and she is really a virtuous model." β
Shao Shifang smiled and told himself that His Royal Highness King Qi was talented in the world, Wen Tao and Wuluo, all of whom were heroes.
But the hero's heart is so small, divided into two, half of it is the world's people, half is the red face, but among the red faces, there is no place for her Shao Shifang.
In her life, she only wants Shen Yi to see her in her eyes.
Shen Yi's government affairs were really busy, Shao Shifang passed by the study and saw that the light was on, lest he would be tired and damage his body, so he ordered the maid to bring some tonic soup in.
And the maid came back and reported: "The slave and maid knocked on the door of the prince for a long time, and the prince and the guard Lianying did not come to open the door, will the prince ...... The princess should go and see. β
