There were rumors in the palace, as if they had spread overnight.

Hongling tidied up Shen Ninghua's clothes and couldn't help but say, "Niangniang, don't you really care about the rumors in the palace?" ”

Shen Ninghua's expression was indifferent, and he said nonchalantly: "Don't care, let them pass it on." It just so happens that you take this opportunity to write down all the dishonest people in the harem, and when this matter is over, you will settle it together. ”

"Yes, the slave maid will remember it, but, Niangniang, the slave maid feels a little strange, logically speaking, Tu Su Qingli is just a young lady of the Tu Su family, even if she has received the help of many officials, she should not have this energy in the harem."

Shen Ninghua picked a jade bracelet to wear on his wrist, and couldn't help but smile: "The Tusu family doesn't have it, but Baili Jinyu and Baili Jinjing do, although their biological mother Li Taiguifei died, but the connections left before are still there, and now, the palace is in charge of the harem, and there is no one else in the harem, so naturally a large part of the manpower will be cut, and naturally some people don't want to leave the palace, so they have to work hard for the new master." Besides, it's just spreading some rumors, and they were caught by the palace, that is, they hit a few boards, and they don't take it to heart. ”

"Niangniang, these people are really hateful, according to the slave's idea, they must all be arrested and killed."

Shen Ninghua couldn't help laughing: "Baili Jinjing, they wish that the palace would do this, as long as the palace cane a group of people, they can provoke the officials of the previous dynasty to participate in the palace to kill viciously, and at that time, the reputation of the palace will not exist at all."

Hongling pouted: "These people are really thoughtful, fortunately, Niangniang can see clearly and will not let them succeed." ”

"Well, don't pay attention to these rumors, and when the truth of the matter is revealed, everything will be clear." Shen Ninghua looked at the door, "It's all this hour, why hasn't the emperor come down yet?" ”

Hongling was also a little strange: "Yes, logically speaking, the emperor should be back, do you want the slave to send someone to the front court to have a look?" ”

"No need, wait, maybe something is happening in the court."

At this time, in the middle of the previous dynasty, there was indeed something happening, and it was a major event. The officials of the Ministry of Rites knelt in the hall with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, there are many rumors among the people now, which have a great impact on the emperor's reputation, and I ask the emperor to deal with it as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Da'an has always been courteous, and when the emperor was in power, he treated the harem very leniently. Now that the emperor has been on the throne for a long time, it is better to take this opportunity to start the draft and recruit the harem to open up branches for the royal family. ”

Baili Junyi sat on the dragon chair, slightly bracing his body to look at the chattering officials below, since he went to the court, someone brought up the rumor that he was fortunate to Tu Su Qingli, and then, officials from all walks of life jumped out one after another, saying that since the woman was lucky, he would be included in the harem, and what did he say to use this to open a draft, hum, these people are really big thoughts!

"What this lord said is not right, the emperor's fortunate woman is the emperor's private matter, how can it be brought up and discussed in the court, such is disrespectful to the emperor, please order punishment from the emperor."

"No, the draft is a major event in the world, and the continuation of the royal bloodline is not a private matter, so how about bringing it up and discussing it in the court? Didn't the first emperor also raise this topic during his reign? ”

The officials of all walks of life quarreled in the temple. Many new officials couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, so they could only stand aside silently. They are all newly promoted, relying on their own abilities, and there is no suitable woman in the family who can be sent to the harem, so it is none of their business to hang high, and they don't have to go to this troubled water.

Moreover, the emperor's feelings for the queen's mother, they are obvious to all, plus they have been in contact with the queen before, such a woman must have good looks, wisdom and wisdom, even if she sends her own woman in? Can you fight the queen who is too pampered?

It's better to honestly run errands for the emperor, and go up step by step.

Just when Baili Junyi was impatient and ready to interrupt this argument, Zuo Qing, the servant of the ministry, suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to report." ”

Baili Junyi raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to the emperor, someone in the Tu Su family found Wei Chen, and wanted Wei Chen to show the emperor, and the Tu Su family is willing to give all the family wealth to help the emperor pacify the people who suffered in the snow disaster before."

Baili Bureau, your eyebrows furrowed suddenly: "What did you say?" All the wealth of the Tu Su family? ”

"Yes, the Tu Su family has been running for more than a hundred years and has accumulated countless family fortunes, and the head of the Tu Su family personally told Weichen that he is willing to sacrifice 30 million taels of silver to do something for the people of Da'anguo."

As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar, and many people were stunned. 30 million taels, that's not 3,000 taels, 30,000 taels or something like that, it's 30 million taels, which can be worth a few years of taxes in Da'anguo. This Tu Su family is really rich and rivals the country, and what is even more incredible is that the Tu Su family donated so much silver directly.

Well...... It's not right, it was rumored before that the emperor was fortunate to Tu Su Qingli, and this time the Tu Su family stood up to donate silver, could it be that they used these silver taels to pry open the gate of the harem and send Tu Su Qingli to the dragon bed?

Many officials instantly felt that they had the truth, and they couldn't help but look up at Baili Junyi. The emperor is really noble, mainly expensive, 30 million taels only ask for the opportunity to enter the emperor's harem, and this price is no one.

Many newly-promoted officials are a little stupid in their brains, and they even think that in case of natural disasters in the future, they need disaster relief, and the imperial court has no money, it is better to take out the position of the emperor's harem for an auction, and the one with the highest price will get it, although not everyone has the wealth of the Tusu family, but hundreds of thousands of taels or millions of taels are also good......

At this time, Baili Junyi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a gloomy face and almost lowered his face. No wonder the Tu Su family has been camping everywhere these days, and Baili Jinyu and Baili Jinjing have also helped to promote the rumors, for this trick.

Come to think of it, the Tu Su family wants to sacrifice 30 million taels of silver, and everyone outside has spread it, and these silvers are also specified to be dedicated to Da'an Kingdom, so that he can appease the affected people, once he refuses, those affected people are afraid that the first one will not agree, although it will not break out of civil unrest, but their trust in the court will be minimized.

After all, things are only worthy of concern if they are really related to themselves, if it is ordinary, this silver is sent, and it is nothing if the royal family does not accept it, but if they know that the silver is to be given to them, and they are rejected by the royal family, then they will lose a lot......

"Zuo Aiqing, I'm very strange, how could the Tu Su family find you and let you pass the word?"

Zuo Qing seemed to know that Baili Junyi would ask this, and his expression was not unusual at all: "Back to the emperor, Weichen has been an official in Jiangnan for many years, and Weichen's teacher is a descendant of the Tusu family, so it can be said that Weichen and the Tusu family have a lot of origins, so they will find Weichen to pass the word." ”

The corners of Baili Junyi's lips moved, he was so straightforward to spread the matter in front of him, he really couldn't do anything to him, after all, the Tu Su family didn't make any mistakes today, and it was nothing to have someone from the Tu Su family as a teacher.

"Yes, no wonder, I thought that there were many people in the court who were willing to speak for the Tusu family."

As soon as these words came out, the officials below were silent, the emperor was obviously unhappy, and he was beating them, I think he knew that many officials had met the people of Tu Su's family some time ago......

Zuo Qing said: "Your Majesty, the people of the Tu Su family are in the Weichen Mansion, and they said that as long as the emperor agrees, they will immediately pack the silver taels and the like into the palace and transport them into the palace." ”

Baili Junyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "This matter is not in a hurry, now that the snow disaster has passed, the people are safe." There is no hurry to save these silver two. Moreover, the Tu Su family has made such a contribution, how can I not see it in person, so let's do it, three days later, I will set up a banquet and invite the head of the Tu Su family to come to the banquet, so heroic, I want to have a good chat with him. ”

Zuo Qing hurriedly saluted: "Yes, Weichen thanked the master Longen on behalf of the Tu Su family." ”

"Well, by the way, I remember that the envoy of the peace talks of the Great Yue Kingdom has also been in Kyoto for some time, I have too many things during this time, and I have forgotten it, since there will be a banquet in three days, then I will call the envoy of the Great Yue Kingdom together, just sit together and talk."

“…… Is it ......" The official was a little confused, putting the envoy of the Great Yue Kingdom and the people of the Tu Su family together, is it really okay for the emperor to deal with it like this?

Baili Jun went down to the court and returned directly to the back bedroom, his face was gloomy. Seeing his expression, Shen Ninghua was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

Baili Junyi rubbed the corners of his forehead, and leaned against Shen Ninghua on the soft couch: "Ninghua, the rumors in the palace have spread outside, and the Tu Su family took the opportunity to offer all the family wealth of 30 million taels, and today it was mentioned by the servants of the Ministry in the court, and I am anxious now." ”

Shen Ninghua was stunned for a moment, and then figured out the joints in his thoughts: "Tu Su's move is good, originally, I heard the rumors in the palace, and I thought that the Tu Su family knew what Tu Su Qingli had done and wanted to fish her out." Unexpectedly, their plan was even greater. ”

"Well, now, the Tu Su family has dedicated all their family wealth, and we just want to dispose of Tu Su Qingli to see the face of this great merit and put it down gently, and, coupled with the previous life-saving grace, the people of the world are eager to help stuff her into the harem."

"Thirty million taels...... It's a lot, even if you are the emperor, you haven't seen so much silver at once. ”

Baili Junyi turned over and stared at Shen Ninghua with one hand behind his head: "Hmph, Ninghua, do you want to sell me for this silver?" ”

Shen Ninghua chuckled: "Where the emperor says, where do the concubines dare to call the shots." ”

"Hmph, why did you laugh so ill-intentioned just now, honestly, what were you thinking just now?"

"I'm just thinking, the emperor is really valuable, rich and rivals the country?"

Baili Junyi: ......
