Chapter 43: Wang Zhaoyi
Xiao Rui then worked hard for another five or six days before it came to an end. In the past few days, Qin Mingyue has been very busy. She took the people of the Daomen of Hu Province to accept the property and property allocated by the government, and formulated various management systems for Taoism, especially the management system for property.
The two people who have been busy like this don't even have the time to eat and drink tea together. It wasn't until the two of them boarded the big boat together, left the lake province, and turned to the canal to head for the capital, that they had time to drink tea and chat on the boat.
Looking at the distant Lake Province, Xiao Rui said: "Our harvest in the Lake Province is not small." First of all, the items we got in that treasure were counted, and the silver alone amounted to 420,000 taels. There were more than eighty thousand taels of gold. ”
Qin Mingyue shook her head and said, "That prince of the previous dynasty really hid a lot of money?" However, looking at the huge size of the box, you can also guess that there is probably this money. ”
Xiao Rui said: "Since we are preparing to make a comeback, in fact, these weapons, these gold and silver are not much. I took a look at the historical materials in this area, and it seems that the treasure of this prince was found by the imperial court and confiscated. It seems that this treasure is just one of his treasures. It was found by the previous dynasty that year, and it was another one. Perhaps, the three holes of the cunning rabbit, he buried it somewhere else. I just don't know if it has been excavated. After all, more than five hundred years have passed. ”
Qin Mingyue said: "Why bother? Hey, forget it, it's all old. Now don't say he's gone, his dynasty is gone. Where is all this gold and silver to be considered our harvest, haven't you given it to me? Why do I want so much, I'll give you half of it. ”
Xiao Rui smiled and said, "I am happier than I am to get gold and silver when I get your words." It's not that you don't know, I don't lack this. Now, I have converted all this gold and silver into silver tickets for you, and there are 220,000 taels of silver tickets here. Plus the last time you had 200,000 taels of silver tickets. That's enough for the amount of silver. As for the gold, I don't think you need to exchange it all, after all, you need some on a daily basis. In this way, you will exchange 70,000 taels, and the remaining 10,000 taels will be returned to you and put in your own house. What do you think? ”
Qin Mingyue said: "That's naturally good." ”
Xiao Rui gave Qin Mingyue another stack of silver tickets and said, "Then 70,000 taels can be exchanged for 700,000 taels of silver tickets." That's 700,000 taels. In fact, if it is exchanged in batches, the exchange of gold for silver may be more than one for ten. ”
Qin Mingyue said: "Where can I manage so much. That's it. Well, now, I have more than a million taels of silver in my hand. When you return to the capital, you can buy a lot of good things. ”
Xiao Rui smiled and said: "There are too many good things in the capital this time, and your more than one million taels of silver may not be enough." If it's not enough, ask me to borrow it again. ”
Qin Mingyue didn't say politely: "That's nature." However, you should also buy a lot of things, don't run out of money. ”
Xiao Rui said: "You are underestimating me. I have mountains of gold and silver there, but I can't do it, I can borrow from the four major banks at any time, and I don't need interest, after all, I am their stable supplier. ”
Qin Mingyue smiled: "There are four big money banks behind you?" No wonder I was so quick to exchange gold and silver. ”
Xiao Rui smiled.
Qin Mingyue said: "By the way, when it comes to the capital, how are things going in the capital?" What's the news you're getting over there? ”
Xiao Rui said: "Part of the news on my side is from the palace, saying that before, Empress Yang was poisoned in the palace. This incident made the eldest brother go crazy, and he must enter the palace to visit Queen Yang. My father had no choice but to agree. I don't know what's going on, the eldest brother entered the queen's palace, and only came out two hours later, and when he came out, he looked calm, and thanked his father and said that his mother had improved. His father also told him that he would definitely give an explanation to Empress Yang and his eldest brother this time. After all, Empress Yang is still the queen, and the queen of a country is poisoned, this is a big deal, and the father will definitely investigate it to the end. In fact, at that time, my father had already found out some eyebrows. ”
"But in the court, the atmosphere is a little weird. The bureaucrats under the second brother not only suppressed the officials under the eldest brother. The struggle between the two factions became fierce. Among them, one day, the second brother also said some ugly things to the eldest brother in public. The eldest brother didn't get angry, and everyone was very surprised. ”
"Later, at a gathering of female dependents, the crown princess Su Liuli also participated, and my second brother's princess, Princess Song, also participated. Princess Song didn't know why, but she actually had a falling out with the crown princess, and the maids of the two even quarreled and scolded each other. Of course, he was pulled away by Mrs. Xie Xiang and Duchess Mingli. ”
This incident made the royal family very criticized at the time. The queen in the palace was still under house arrest, so Concubine Li Xian issued an edict and taught the crown princess and Princess Song a lesson. The eldest brother and the second brother were silent. ”
Then, within two days, the eldest brother suddenly colluded with the three generals of the Beijing camp to raise troops to rebel. The first thing in the rebellion was to kill my second brother's palace, of course, on the way, when I met my second brother's party minister's residence, the rebels all went in to burn and loot. ”
"You will know the rest of the matter, when I arrived in the palace, I was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, which my father had already ambushed. The eldest brother was also cleaned up and imprisoned. Su Liuli and the ladies of the East Palace were all assigned to the Ting Palace. ”
Qin Mingyue said: "Well, the news I got is similar to yours. ”
"The difference is that my message said that the poisoning incident of Queen Yang in the palace was done by Concubine Li Xian. Even Empress Yang and the crown prince thought that Concubine Li Xian had done it. However, Xixinglou found a little clue outside the palace, and this matter seems to have been done by Wang Zhaoyi. ”
Xiao Rui's eyes widened: "Who are you talking about?" Wang Zhaoyi? Who is Wang Zhaoyi? ”
Qin Mingyue shook her head and said, "Look, no one remembers Wang Zhaoyi, you didn't remember Wang Zhaoyi when you grew up in the palace." In fact, Wang Zhaoyi entered the palace earlier than your mother. She, like Empress Yang, is an old person in the Emperor's Hidden Mansion. However, Queen Yang was the princess back then, Wang Zhaoyi was just a small concubine, and even later, when the emperor became the crown prince, she did not mix with the prince. Later, after the emperor ascended the throne, she was an old person in Qiandi, so she was named a contourer. ”
Saying this, Xiao Rui was a little impressed and said: "I know who it is, Wang Zhaoyi has been practicing in the harem, and he rarely even goes out every day just by reading Taoist books." How could it be her? ”
