When Yu Wenguang said this, his expression was desolate and sad. Mingzhu remembered Emperor Zhengqian's favor for her back then, and then thought of the dead Yuwenfu and Yuwennuo, and was also very emotional: "Sure enough, the world is impermanent." ”

Yu Wenguang said softly: "Actually, I really don't want to be this emperor. ”

Mingzhu didn't answer his words, just lowered his eyes and listened.

Yu Wenguang smiled and motioned to Jiang Youyuan to show her something: "This is a wooden horse made by me myself, aunt take a look, if it is similar to the one you gave Zhuangzhuang." ”

Previously, Ban Shear had brought Zhuang Zhuang several toys he had made, one of which was a walking wooden horse, which was very delicate and meticulous. Several families saw that they had asked the craftsman to make one for their children, but they were unsuccessful. And the wooden horse sent by Jiang Youyuan, although it is a little immature and rough, it has the essence, not only can move, but also moves very smoothly.

"Your Majesty's good craftsmanship!" Mingzhu praised vigorously, she understood what Yu Wenguang meant, Yu Wenguang wanted to tell her that he had other interests, his ambition was not on the throne, and Zhang Jian's matter before was just turned a blind eye. Don't worry about Xu Lin, don't worry about Queen Mother Xu, just treat Zhang Jian as if she had never come.

She wants to give the little emperor's face, and she won't move Xu Lin and Empress Dowager Xu, but what she eats must be spit out. The treasury has long been empty, Yu Wenchu is desperate on the front line, and she racks her brains here to raise money and food, so that these people can enjoy wealth and prosperity. She had already learned of Xu Lin and Zhang Jian's conspiracy, and she was very angry in her heart. It's really a joke, if you don't do anything, you just want to pick big peaches to eat, you want Yu Wenchu's life now, will you want the life of their whole family in the future?

Yu Wenguang saw that she only praised her good craftsmanship and refused to say anything else, so she had to smile and say: "My uncle is a fool, stupid, and he doesn't know if he has been deceived." ”

Mingzhu said: "Yes, the people Uncle Xu Guo is dating really don't seem to be very good. The concubine heard a rumor that Uncle Xu planned to cooperate with the Zhongshan rebels, kill the regent, and then divide the country across the river with the Zhongshan rebels. Seeing that Yu Wenguang's face changed, she laughed: "Your Majesty should also remind Uncle Guo not to make a traitor by mistake." At present, it is a critical period for counterinsurgency, and it is not good to cause misunderstanding and shake the morale of the military. ”

Yuwenguang responded inaudibly, and Jiang Youyuan hurriedly came out to play a round: "The queen mother asked the slave to ask the princess, I heard that Princess Lin'an gave birth a few days ago, I don't know if the mother and son are safe?" ”

The lord of Wusun gave birth to a son, although he was a little thinner, but he was in good spirits, he could eat and sleep, and he was very beautiful, and this matter had already been reported to the palace. So Jiang Youyuan was just afraid that Yu Wenguang would be embarrassed, so he deliberately talked about it.

Mingzhu didn't want to take it with her, so she answered Jiang Youyuan's words first: "The child is very good and beautiful, if the Queen Mother wants to see it, let Princess Lin'an report the child in the next day to ask the mother to say goodbye." After a while, he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's already June, and it's autumn in a blink of an eye, it's time to change autumn clothes, and then it's the winter solstice, and you have to prepare winter clothes, but the treasury is empty." The concubine wants to ask His Majesty for permission to take a few things from the emperor and sell them to prepare for military salaries, I don't know if it is possible? ”

The treasury is empty, and the so-called victories were all grabbed by Yu Wenchu, so he filled up his family's funds, and even the imperial gifts of the first emperor had to be taken out in exchange for military salaries, Yu Wenguang said quite embarrassedly: "Yes." ”

Mingzhu was pointed, and when Yuwenguang allowed her to retreat, she retreated. Dong Hui asked her, "Do you want to go and say hello to the Queen Mother?" ”

Mingzhu said lightly: "I have something to do, I can't be busy, next time." ”

Xu Lin hadn't left yet, and was making a bad idea with the Empress Dowager Xu: "If the princess regent comes to greet Niangniang, you can talk to her well, I am willing to give half of the money sent by Zhang Jian to her and Fu Mingzheng, so that they can forget it and spend money to avoid disasters......"

Empress Dowager Xu said: "Let's wait for Your Majesty to reply." ”

I didn't know that I didn't see Mingzhu coming, so I asked someone, and Mingzhu left early. Xu Lin was frightened: "It seems that she is not reluctant." What to do? ”

Empress Dowager Xu has no master: "I don't know what to do, look for Your Majesty, find Your Majesty." ”

Saying that, Jiang Youyuan came, and conveyed Yu Wenguang's meaning with an expressionless face: "Your Majesty said, let Uncle Guo not be afraid, I have already said that I will not do anything to you." But the treasury is empty, and money is needed to fight wars and appease the homeless, so please ask the Queen Mother and Uncle Guo to think of a way. ”

Xu Linzheng was happy to have escaped, and when he heard that he was asked to take the money, he shouted: "The minister is poor and dead, where is the money?" The family hasn't paid their monthly money last month, and the old mother is sick and wants to eat a bowl of bird's nest but is not willing to give up. "As long as people are alive, life always has to be passed, and when they get to the mouth, they have to spit it out, which is a fool. Unless you dare to raid his home, don't think about it.

is so greedy and ignorant, and still delusional to get involved in state affairs? Jiang Youyuan glanced at Xu Lin with disdain, looked at the Empress Dowager Xu in embarrassment and smiled bitterly: "Niangniang, you see? ”

Empress Dowager Xu silently took out the money that Zhang Jian gave her: "Take it." ”

Xu Lin was afraid that he would be forced to spit out the money if he stayed for another moment, so he hurriedly said goodbye and wanted to leave, Jiang Youyuan said: "Uncle Guo, you can leave after you think about it." If you refuse to listen to your majesty, who will listen to your majesty? ”

Xu Lin was annoyed and angry, and spat Jiang Youyuan vigorously: "You eunuch killing talent!" It's just a dog slave, and he dares to point fingers at me! I am the uncle of the Son of Heaven, how can a eunuch like you teach me a lesson? ”

Jiang Youyuan sighed, clapped his hands silently, and immediately someone came in and held Xu Lin down, Xu Lin shouted, "What are you going to do?" Are you going to rebel in front of the Queen Mother? Jiang Youyuan! Say, Are you treacherously treacherous and ungrateful, and have taken refuge in others? ”

Jiang Youyuan said lightly: "Your Majesty has a will, if Marquis Xu refuses to obey His Majesty's will, he will stay and wait for Marquis Xu's Mansion to take the money to replace him." ”

Xu Lin cried: "It's okay if others bully me, my nephew will bully me......"

Empress Dowager Xu had no choice but to persuade him: "Anyway, it's all ill-gotten gains, take it out." ”

Xu Lin calculated that the little emperor couldn't do anything to him, but he didn't want to, Jiang Youyuan was not ambiguous, and directly sent someone to do the work before releasing him.

After the news of Zhang Jian's death and Xu Lin and Empress Dowager Xu's spit out stolen goods, there was a turmoil in the court. Immediately afterwards, Fu Mingzheng let people spread a news, saying that he had a list of bribe-taking collaborators in his hand, so as soon as Mingzhu's fundraising meeting was held, everyone who came was like a cloud, and they all seized the opportunity to spit out the hot stolen goods, and even some of them were weak-hearted, and many of them were given, just to not blame the past. Afterwards, Mingzhu calculated, much to her surprise, she actually raised more than one million taels of silver, saving a little flower, and adding a little more, the military salary for the second half of the year was almost enough. She happily wrote a letter to Yu Wenchu, asking him to say to King Zhongshan and thank King Zhongshan for sending so much military salary.
