Chapter 771: Birthday
Hearing the suspicion and disdain in Yin Jinglong's tone, Liu Shilang was also angry, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince doesn't know, at the beginning, someone in the military department privately withheld the army's food and salary, so that the soldiers had no warm clothes to use, and later His Majesty sent the eldest prince to deal with this matter, and His Royal Highness handed over all the taxes collected by Dayi to the military department, which was used by the soldiers to ask for medical medicine and add clothes. ”
When everyone heard him talk so eloquently, they remembered that there was indeed such an incident last winter.
At the beginning, because someone deducted military salaries and salaries, which led to a riot in the military camp, these people were afraid of getting into trouble, so they kicked out Yin Jingrui, who had just returned to the DPRK, thinking that he would definitely mess up this errand, who knew that Yin Jingrui really appeased these rioting soldiers.
At the beginning, Yin Jingrui used the tribute silver of his fief to supplement the military department, in fact, some ministers mentioned it in the court, suggesting that the emperor make up for this silver to Yin Jingrui, but at that time, Helian Feng was in power, how could he be willing to take out such a large sum of silver.
After a clever argument and crying poor, this matter will be over, and the emperor will not be sad, and others will naturally forget that there is such a thing, and over time, no one will remember such a thing.
Now that Liu Shilang said this, everyone's faces showed embarrassment or understanding.
After Liu Shilang finished speaking, he glanced at Yin Jinglong and said, "If anyone doesn't believe it, the whereabouts of this money at the beginning can be checked, and the minister thinks that he has a clear conscience." ”
This is a hint at Yin Jinglong's villain's heart just now.
Yin Jinglong just wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Yin Jinghan, and gave him a look that should not be taken lightly, Yin Jinglong followed his gaze, and secretly said that it was dangerous.
Because after the emperor heard Liu Shilang's words, his face immediately showed a look of remorse, and said, "I have misunderstood you in this matter, Rui'er, I have wronged you." ”
"Father is too worried, as long as you can understand that the son is not intentionally disrespectful, the son will be relieved." Yin Jingrui said respectfully.
"Look at what Your Majesty said, how can there be so many misunderstandings between this father and son." The concubine on the side said with disgust on her face, but her heart was already churning with anger.
She didn't expect that she would change the topic, and even turn to Yin Jingrui's design, and let her son plant it in vain.
As she spoke, she said reproachfully, "But the eldest prince, if you have no money, why didn't you tell Your Majesty earlier?" This palace knows that you are thinking about Your Majesty, but you are Your Majesty's prince, and this big birthday crying poor, doesn't it make the ministers laugh at Your Majesty? ”
She seemed to have a reproach on her face, but in fact, she was pointing out that Yin Jingrui had ulterior motives, deliberately did not prepare a birthday ceremony, and then cried poor in front of the emperor.
As soon as she said this, Yin Jingrui's behavior completely changed, and maybe it would cause the emperor's suspicion, so how could Yin Jingrui let this kind of thing happen?
"Niangniang misunderstood, Jing Rui has not been in Chenguo for a long time, and this is the first time to celebrate his father's birthday, so the birthday gift prepared for his father has already been sent to the Internal Affairs Office, but I don't know that I still need to prepare a separate one now."
The emperor's birthday gift, the nobles of the family will prepare the birthday gift in advance, and then make a special book to record it, and then check it one by one, hand it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and send it to the emperor's private small treasury.
However, in the past, several princes wanted to please the emperor, and they would always prepare an ingenious gift separately to present to the emperor at the birthday banquet to steal the limelight.
Now that Yin Jingrui said this, Concubine Shu was speechless, but she didn't know how many times Yin Jingrui had said it in her heart.
This idiot is so scheming, first crying poor, and then taking the opportunity to win sympathy, it is simply shameless to go home.
Every year is such a thing, she still doesn't believe that Yin Jingrui has forgotten these rules just after leaving for just five years.
But just because she thinks this way doesn't mean that others will think so.
Especially the emperor, probably thinking of Yin Jingrui's suffering in Changguo all these years, a little guilt appeared on his slightly old face, looking at Yin Jingrui and sighing, and said with emotion in his tone, "Rui'er, you have suffered all these years." ”
If it was before, the emperor would never have shown this tone and emotion to Yin Jingrui.
Since when did the emperor begin to feel sorry for this great prince who has always hated him?
While Concubine Shu sensed the danger, she was also very puzzled.
"Father, I can share my father's worries, and my sons don't feel bitter." Yin Jingrui has always been gentle and sensible.
His words made the emperor a lot happy, and he kept nodding his head, and said with great satisfaction, "Good, yes, worthy of being my son." ”
Although he didn't say much, when he heard what he said, he knew how satisfied he was with Yin Jingrui.
"Your Majesty, since the eldest prince has suffered a lot for our Chen Kingdom, and now that he is back, you have to compensate him well." Concubine De on the side hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, Concubine Ai is right." Hearing this, the emperor seemed to be reminded, and nodded constantly, "Rui'er, don't worry, what you did for our Chen Kingdom, I remember it, I won't let you suffer in vain."
As the emperor spoke, he frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "In this way, you did a good job in Jinzhou last time, and it just so happens that Jinzhou and Dayi are not far away, so I will also assign Jinzhou to you as a fief." ”
"Father......" Yin Jinghan was shocked, and subconsciously shouted.
That Jinzhou and Dayi can be regarded as the important economic lifeline of Chenguo, Yin Jingrui has a Dayi, which is enough to make people jealous and uncomfortable, and now the emperor even wants to divide Jinzhou to him, how can people accept this?
If Yin Jinghan wants it or not, he has to refuse.
"Han'er, the queen mother knows that you are happy for your eldest brother, but why do you have to wait for your father to finish speaking before speaking." Seeing that the situation was not good, Concubine Shu immediately spoke, preventing Yin Jinghan from having the opportunity to speak.
"Mother?" Yin Jinghan looked at her in surprise, not knowing why she suddenly stopped herself from speaking.
Concubine Shu kept giving Yin Jinghan a look, although she was reluctant to give Jinzhou to Yin Jingrui, but now at this time, the emperor is already imperative, if her son hurriedly stands up to stop it, not only will it be useless, but it may also anger the emperor and cause the emperor's suspicion.
So she immediately stopped Yin Jinghan and made him recognize the reality.
Yin Jinghan was just impulsive, and when he reacted, he probably understood Concubine Shu's worries, and he really kept silent.
In this way, the matter was settled, Yin Jingrui happily thanked him, and the banquet continued.
After this incident, Concubine Shu's party was hit hard, and she was not as arrogant as she was just now.
However, the birthday celebration still has to continue, since Yin Jingrui did not prepare the birthday gift, it is naturally Yin Jingyi's turn.
The third prince presented a white jade Guanyin, although the jade quality is superior, but the emperor is rich in the world, what kind of treasures he has not seen? It's just a faint praise of two sentences, and let Gonggong Chu put it away.
