Chapter 288: Match Results
"It's auspicious, let's go!" Listening to the sound outside the door, Princess Lu Fei and Yinyue went out surrounded by everyone. [Full text reading]
This day was undoubtedly the busiest day in the Ximu Empire in recent years, the subjects rejoiced, and the atmosphere of festivities filled everywhere, and even the endless desert was sprinkled with colorful petals, making it particularly beautiful.
As the protagonist, Yinyue looked at the beautiful groom who came to pick her up with red lips and white teeth, as if he was looking at him affectionately, but the depths of his eyes were slightly empty, and he saw another person's smile through the groom's face.
Gently raising her hand and touching her flat lower abdomen, Yinyue muttered a word, because the voice was too small, no one including Queen Lu Fei, who was standing beside her, heard it.
She said, "Lin Yu, do you miss me?"
........................
A few days later, the news of Princess Yinyue's wedding spread from the Ximu Empire to the Great Xia Empire, and because her mother, Queen Lu Fei, was seriously ill and could no longer take charge of the court. After barely supporting her to attend her daughter's wedding, she couldn't afford to get sick, and directly handed over all the rights to issue government decrees to Liu Minde.
Although Yinyue suspected that her mother's illness was caused by Liu Minde, there was no evidence, and her mother trusted Liu Minde very much, so it was inconvenient for her to investigate further, so she had to give up.
The children of the family in the imperial capital who originally wanted to climb the high branch of Princess Yinyue beat their chests when they heard the news, and they were annoyed, regretting that they did not pursue Princess Yinyue with a dead face.
They inquired that the concubine who married Princess Yinyue was not known at all, and they had never heard of it, and they were even more depressed.
But Lin Yu was really relieved, in fact, he was very afraid that Yinyue would come back to the Great Xia Empire again, pestering him to let him go to the Ximu Empire to be her concubine. After all, he almost risked his life to save her, this chick originally liked herself, what if she was impulsive and planned to make a promise with her body?
Now that I heard that Yinyue is married, it must not be long before she will devote herself to a happy family life, and then she will forget about herself, and she will not have to travel thousands of miles to the desert to be a Rausch concubine.
In the imperial study, Lin Yu and Situ Xiaofeng were standing in front of the dragon case, although both of them guessed why Yu Shaoxi had summoned the two of them over, but they were silent before he spoke, quietly waiting for Yu Shaoxi, who was reviewing the recital, to speak.
"Do you know why I asked you to come to the imperial study today?" After a while, Yu Shaoxi finally finished it, put down the pen, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, looking at the two of them and said lightly.
"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen knows! You are here to review the results of our efforts to raise military salaries. After that, Lin Yu took out a wooden box from his arms, handed it to Gonggong Cai and handed it to Yu Shaoxi, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, here are two million taels of silver tickets, Weichen has already raised them, just waiting for Your Majesty to speak!"
Seeing Lin Yu hand over the silver ticket neatly, Situ Xiaofeng's face turned green with a brush. Recently, the Situ family's income has been in a mess, and it can be said that it has plummeted compared to before. Even if he sold a few properties a few days ago, the income obtained was a drop in the bucket, and he was still a cut short of two million taels of silver.
"Hmm......" Yu Shaoxi opened the box casually and looked at it, only to see that it was stuffed with 100,000 taels of silver tickets, and he didn't need to count them at all to know that it must be enough. Yu Shaoxi suddenly felt that although Lin Yu, this kid, was a little annoying, but he was quite familiar with sending money to his treasury so diligently!
After nodding with satisfaction, Yu Shaoxi turned his head and asked Situ Xiaofeng: "Situ Aiqing, then how much military salary have you raised?
"Enlightenment...... Qi Your Majesty, Wechen is still hundreds of thousands of taels away from raising, I hope Your Majesty can give Wechen a few more days, and Wechen will definitely try his best to raise two million taels of silver. Situ Xiaofeng lacked confidence, and said resignedly.
After he went back, he asked his grandfather Situ Wuji to take a few more properties and sell them in order to fill the vacancy of his military salary. Although it means that it is to drink to quench your thirst, at least you must be able to get through the current predicament!
Yu Shaoxi was about to speak, but Lin Yu snatched the conversation, and sneered at Situ Xiaofeng: "Damn! Situ Xiaofeng, you can! You can get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a few days, you want to let Old Man Situ directly open the treasury to give you money, right? Oh, I forgot, there is no money in the treasury." Then you must be doing some illegal deeds, otherwise how could the money come so quickly? No, I have to inform Yin Sun Daguang of the Imperial Capital Mansion and let him keep an eye on your Situ family!"
"You...... Hugh is talking nonsense!Our Situ family's money is all clean money, not as unbearable as you say!" Situ Xiaofeng glared at Lin Yu fiercely, and said through gritted teeth.
"Okay Lin Yu, don't say any more. Seeing that Lin Yu was about to open his mouth to refute Situ Xiaofeng, Yu Shaoxi hurriedly waved his hand to stop him, how can this kid talk to people anywhere?
The people of this Situ family don't have a long memory, they have been buried by him so many times, and they will bump into it every time!
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Yu Shaoxi said in a deep voice: "I now announce that Lin Yu is the winner of this military salary competition. According to the rules set before, Lin Yu was named a general, and Zhou Weida was named your deputy general according to what you said. When the spring thaws next year, you will lead 100,000 troops to attack the Steppe Empire as the vanguard troops! I order you to let those barbarians know how powerful Great Xia is!"
Turning his head to look at Situ Xiaofeng, whose face was as black as the bottom of the pot, Yu Shaoxi thought for a while and said: "As for Situ Xiaofeng, as an alternate general in the imperial capital, he will be sent at any time to serve Daxia!"
Yu Shaoxi was also very helpless, he wanted Situ Xiaofeng to lead the troops to the battle! But this gap was clearly placed here, how could he pretend not to see it and change his life in vain?
"Wechen thank Lord Longen!" "Wechen obeys!" Lin Yu and Situ Xiaofeng saluted Yu Shaoxi and replied.
After standing up, Lin Yu sneered at Situ Xiaofeng, who clenched his fists tightly, so angry that the staff wounds on his body almost recurred.
"Alright, stand down! Yu Shaoxi waved his hand, stood up and prepared to go back to the inner room to rest, when he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head and said, "By the way, you wait, there is one more thing!"
