No one would be happy if they were suspected of having the heart of a villain, let alone the emperor?

If it was someone else, he couldn't help but get angry, but Lin Qingwan is a girl, and she is still a girl who doesn't look very old, no matter how capable the other party is, she is also a weak woman. [with _ dream]ā

After tolerance, there is even greater anger, if even a little girl like Lin Qingwan thinks that he, the emperor, can't tolerate Zhong Ruying, then what will others think?

Who dared to be so bold as to hide the war in Hongzhou and not report it? Also blocked the news of Hongzhou?

Almost instantly, several candidates flashed through his mind, and his face became more and more angry.

He looked at Lin Qingwan and said, "The stakes are very high, and we can't make a conclusion with an official document and a letter, so this matter can't be publicized, and we will talk about it after I verify it." ”

Lin Qingwan immediately said: "The minister obeys the order, but Your Majesty, if there is a war in Hongzhou, I am afraid that the grain and grass will already be insufficient, and the minister has discussed with the Zhou Thorn History in Suzhou before he came, and he is preparing grain and grass in Suzhou, but it is just ......"

Lin Qingwan's face was a little embarrassed.

The emperor didn't have to think about it to be able to take her unfinished words, but he ordered the reduction of taxes in various places, this year because of the wind and rain is still reconciled, and the Southern Han Dynasty has laid down a large territory, he has a long life, and Jiangnan, which has always been a heavy tax area of the imperial court, is also among the reductions.

Not only have the poor households reduced some taxes, but the rich have reduced their taxes, so they can't increase the military tax at this time, right?

His intention to reduce taxes was like a fart, and I was afraid that the people of the world would laugh at him.

But if he doesn't collect military taxes and doesn't resume taxes, he really can't take out so much grain and grass for a while, after all, at this time, it's only a summer harvest, and taxes are limited in various places, not to mention that the summer tax will have to start collecting taxes next month, and when the tax grain is collected and then transported to Hongzhou, the daylily will be cold.

As for the treasury, the foundation left to him by Lin Jiang three years ago was spent as early as last year's southern expedition, and now the money and silver in the treasury are a little left after the harvest last autumn to help the victims and the price of peaceful grain, not to mention grain and grass, even the money of the court officials is not enough.

He also pointed to the summer tax and gave money to the people below.

The emperor was distressed, and he seemed to have become poor again.

Lin Qingwan peeked at his face and knew that she had guessed correctly, the treasury was really out of money, she sighed, bowed her head and said: "Your Majesty Longen, this year's harvest of the lord's field between the minister and his niece is not bad, and the minister is willing to take it out to temporarily support Hongzhou." ”

Not to mention the emperor, even the queen and the eldest princess, who had been standing on the sidelines and watching, looked at her in surprise.

Lin Qingwan's face was full of shame, and she said cowardly: "The minister is ashamed, I offended Your Majesty before......"

The emperor and the empress chatted slightly, in the end, they were still little girls, but they were so uneasy because of a misunderstanding, and they even took a whole summer harvest to make amends.

The emperor shook his head and was about to refuse, but the eldest princess, who had been staring at Lin Qingwan, smiled and said: "Father, since my sister has a heart, you might as well accept her kindness, if you don't want to go, then you will hurt her more in the future." ”

Princess Yuanhua glanced at Lin Qingwan with a smile, and winked mischievously at the emperor: "She is also your daughter, isn't it, it is most normal for a daughter to share the burden for her father." ”

Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, they could feel that Princess Yuanhua had been staring at them, out of sensitivity to women's eyes, Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin had already sensitively felt Princess Yuanhua's suspicion of them.

The emperor glared at Princess Yuanhua with disgust, but he was indeed a little moved, Lin Qingwan had food, and he could compensate her in other ways.

I'm sure she'll be happy too.

The emperor was silent for a moment, glanced at Lin Yubin, who was kneeling beside Lin Qingwan, and bowed slightly. "Your niece is also in time."

Lin Qingwan whispered "yes".

The emperor nodded and did not speak again, but both sides knew that he was accepting Lin Qingwan's kindness.

The matter of grain and grass must be certain, and the emperor was in a hurry to investigate the matter of Hongzhou, so he didn't want to stay for a long time, so he talked to Lin Qingwan for a while and got up to leave.

It is not certain whether Hongzhou really started a war, even if he has eight points of certainty in his heart, but he is unwilling to make a conclusion without definite evidence.

As soon as the emperor left, Princess Yuanhua glanced at the queen mother, and saw that her face was slightly softened, although the expression on her face was still very light, she knew that she was not so angry, so she got up and said, "Mother, I will take my sister and the county lord Lin to take a walk in the imperial garden."

The queen nodded. "Go ahead, take care of your sister more, the county lord is still young, don't scare other people's children"

Princess Yuanhua responded with a smile, Lin Qingwan took Lin Yubin to bow and retreat, and when she arrived in the garden, Princess Yuanhua turned around and smiled at Lin Qingwan, "The queen mother said that you and your niece are timid, but I think you are very bold." ”

The queen obviously said that Lin Yubin was young, but Princess Yuanhua said that they were timid, Lin Qingwan's heart jumped, and she could only reply at a loss.

Seeing Lin Qingwan looking at him with a confused expression, Princess Yuanhua smiled while looking at her hair: "My sister combed her hair well today, she looks younger than her actual age, it doesn't look like she has been widowed for three years, but like a little woman who has just married, except for her clothes, she is a little cleaner." ”

"If my sister likes it, I'll let the girl at home teach you the maid in the house when I go back?"

Princess Yuanhua looked at her and turned pale with fright, so she smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Princess Yuanhua got up and said with a smile: "I see that my sister's face is not good, do you want to take a break?" ”

Lin Qingwan nodded, "It may be that I have been in a hurry these days, Your Highness forgive me, I will go and rest for a while." ”

Princess Yuanhua stretched out her hand to summon a palace maid and ordered: "Send the county lord to the side hall to rest." ”

Lin Qingwan stretched out her hand to support Lin Yubin, and said with a smile: "Yubin help my aunt." ”

Lin Yubin hurriedly supported her, and the two of them and Princess Yuanhua bowed slightly and retreated.

When she arrived at the side hall, Lin Qingwan thanked the palace maid and gave the other party a purse, and then she helped Lin Yubin's hand to lie on the couch.

Lin Yubin whispered to the palace maid: "It's hard sister, my aunt doesn't like outsiders when she is resting." ”

After that, he stuffed her with another purse.

The palace maid smiled slightly and said, "The slave maid is waiting outside, just call if you have something." ”

When the palace maid went out, Lin Yubin looked at Lin Qingwan carefully, "Auntie? ”

Lin Qingwan opened her eyes and saw that her face was worried, so she reached out and patted her comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, she has no malicious intent." ”

Otherwise, it will be said in the queen's palace.

"So my aunt really did it on purpose?" Lin Yubin looked at her aunt's new hairstyle today and asked.

Lin Qingwan smiled slightly and didn't answer, but Lin Yubin had already understood, and she asked puzzledly, "Why did my aunt do this?" If something happens to Aunt Zhong, you say it clearly, why provoke him? ”
