The door of the side hall was closed again, and when Ying Yuanyu stood outside the hall gate, he found that the sky that had been covered by dark clouds had become clear.

The moonlight poured down, and the guards outside the door knelt on the ground.

Ying Yuanyu said: "The person on duty tonight will be fined for half a year, reduced by half a rank, and the rest of the people will be fined for two months." ”

The guards and little eunuchs kneeling outside were all instantly relieved, they originally thought that they would lose their heads when the deposed emperor died.

Ying Yuanyu lowered his eyes and looked at the few people under the steps: "Today's matter, I don't want to hear half a word outside, the abolished emperor has been sick for a long time, and he didn't die until tonight. ”

Everyone instantly broke into a cold sweat: "The ministers don't dare." ”

Pan Qing waved his hand, and someone stepped forward to deal with the rest of the matter, and these people present also needed to explain again, as well as record everyone's names and backgrounds, so as not to say anything that should not be said when someone outside inquired about the affairs in the palace, and after dealing with these, Pan Qing hurriedly caught up with the new emperor.

Seeing him strolling under the moon, his face was not the slightest discoloration, Pan Qing accompanied the new emperor all the way before he said, "Your Majesty, do you say that Feng Yuan has any sincerity towards Princess Yongzhao?" ”

Ying Yuanyu said: "Yes. ”

There is sincerity, but it is not so pure.

"When the Feng family was convicted, Feng Yuan was trapped in the palace and was a slave, and Aunt Yongzhao was his only salvation."

After Ying Yuanyu ascended the throne, he was actually very curious about why Xue Nuo never thought about cooperating with Feng Yuan from beginning to end, and even if Feng Yuan had always avenged Aunt Yongzhao, even if the means were excessive, but in the end he had a friendship with Aunt Yongzhao, why Xue Nuo didn't show any mercy to him, and he didn't even come to see him before leaving Beijing.

He had investigated some of the old things of the Feng family, and he had also asked An Guogong and Shen Zhongkang, so that he knew about the past of Feng Yuan and Princess Yongzhao.

When the Feng family did not have an accident, Feng Yuan was a famous talent in Beijing, seemingly gentle and elegant, but he was arrogant, and later fell into the palace, because of his background and the style of that body, he was humiliated, and Princess Yongzhao was the one who rescued him when he was desperate.

She saved him from danger, protected him at the end of the day, and later rehabilitated the Feng family when she was a traitor in the Qing Dynasty.

For Feng Yuan, Princess Yongzhao is the only light that has shone on him in his dark life, he is desperate to hold on and is unwilling to let go, so he does not hesitate to refuse the opportunity to leave the palace, and is willing to stay in the palace to guard the errand of the imperial horse supervisor, just for the occasional companionship once or twice.

Later, Princess Yongzhao died, and his light was gone.

Feng Yuan, who fell into the abyss again, was obsessed with revenge for ruining everything he had redeemed, whether his paranoia was because of Princess Yongzhao or for the phantom who saved him by the stable, no one could tell.

Pan Qing was a little confused when he heard it, as if he understood, but he didn't seem to understand, he frowned and said, "But Weichen has never understood why Liu Hai helped Princess Yongzhao." ”

Everyone in this palace knows that Liu Hai is the person who followed Emperor Tianqing when he was young, loyal to him, and accompanied Emperor Tianqing all the way from the prince to the throne.

After Emperor Tianqing ascended the throne, Liu Hai became the chief eunuch in the palace and was in charge of the power of the forbidden palace.

At that time, even if Hu Zhiyi was in charge of Jin Linwei, he had to bow his head in front of Liu Hai, if it wasn't for Liu Hai who was seriously injured and lame in order to save the driver, then where would Hu Zhiyi have a chance to get ahead.

Pan Qing entered the East Palace as an errand a long time ago, and naturally knew the status of Liu Hai in Emperor Tianqing's heart, Emperor Tianqing was able to hand over such an important place as Guangning Hall to Liu Hai to take care of, which also shows how much he trusted Liu Hai, but why would such a person betray Emperor Tianqing?

Ying Yuanyu pursed his lips, he actually couldn't see his bangs clearly.

To say that he betrayed Emperor Tianqing, but Liu Hai has never done anything to hurt Emperor Tianqing for so many years, and he has never really handed over the talisman to others, so that people can use it to deal with Emperor Tianqing.

But if it is said to be loyal, he secretly hid the talisman and gave the antidote of the blood fusion pill to An Guogong, which is not like what a loyal person will have.

Pan Qing said in a low voice: "Weichen heard that on the day when the eldest princess led the troops to besiege the palace, Liu Hai hanged himself directly after learning about the abolition of the emperor, and didn't even leave a last word, what did you say he was thinking, Your Majesty?" ”

Ying Yuanyu looked at the flower bed and was a little distracted.

The two of them went all the way back to the dormitory, and the people below brought hot water, and only after Ying Yuanyu washed up did they retreat.

He flipped through the folds that had not been processed, and waited until the third watch in the middle of the night, and when he looked up, he saw Pan Qingzhu talking not far away, and Ying Yuanyu said angrily: "I have a fold, you have been spitting and vomiting for half the night, just say anything." ”

Pan Qing stole at him and said, "Your Majesty, Feng Yuan said before...... Yuan Jing's little son is still alive......"

"Just for this?"

Pan Qing nodded hurriedly, this is a big deal, he always thought that Yuan Jing was Yuan Jing, that is, the eldest princess of Zhaochen, that Yuan Jing's identity was just used by her to board the court, but when Feng Yuan said it just now, he was clearly sure that Yuan Jing was still alive.

Ying Yuanyu said lightly: "I know that Yuan Jing is still alive. ”

Yes?

Pan Qing was shocked: "You know? ”

"What's so strange about that."

Ying Yuanyu turned his head and saw that he looked calm, "Do you still remember, why did An Guogong and the eldest princess make trouble and separate, and why until now, the eldest princess still refuses to forgive An Guogong?" ”

Of course this Pan Qing knows.

When the abolished emperor killed Princess Yongzhao, intending to cut the grass and eradicate the roots of Yongzhao Mansion, the eldest princess took the risk to save the little prince Yuan Jing, hid it privately, and only told An Guogong alone.

An Guogong promised to protect Yuan Jing for her, but later realized that something was wrong and the news might have leaked, so he had to pretend to betray the eldest princess, kill Yuan Jing and win the trust of Emperor Tianqing, which led to a break with the eldest princess and the trust of Emperor Tianqing for many years.

Seeing that the commander of the forbidden army hadn't reacted yet, Ying Yuanyu said helplessly:

"Yuan Miao is a girl, although she has changed her appearance because of the Blood Fusion Pill, but when she was rescued, she couldn't pretend to be Yuan Jing at all, whether it was her age or appearance, but since the father was sure that Yuan Jing was still alive, she must have gotten the news, in other words, the eldest princess was rescued, and the one who was later faked by An Guogong with a dead child's corpse was definitely not Yuan Yao."

Seeing Pan Qing, he suddenly realized.

Ying Yuanyu said: "The imperial aunt and grandmother are jealous and hateful, if Yuan Jing is really dead, do you think she will let An Guogong set foot in the eldest princess's mansion?" ”

"And Ah Yao, with her temperament, if An Guogong really killed Yuan Jing, even if the situation forced her, no matter how many reasons, she would not spare An Guogong."

Pan Qing remembered the temperament of the eldest princess Zhaochen, and had to say that what His Majesty said was right.

Pan Qing asked in a low voice: "Then does Your Majesty know where the little prince Yuan Jing is?" ”

Ying Yuanyu raised his eyes to look at him: "I don't know." ”

Pan Qing hesitated, why did he think that His Majesty's words didn't seem to be the truth?

Ying Yuanyu said lightly: "No matter who he is, no matter where he is now, since Ah Yao didn't let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors to appear in front of people, it means that he doesn't want to be Ying Yuanjing anymore." ”

"Forget it this time, I have satisfied your curiosity, don't inquire about it in the future, Bendang Yuan Jing really died in the bloodbath of Yongzhao Mansion."

The back of Pan Qing's neck froze, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Weichen understands. ”

……

The abolished emperor died of illness, and when the news came out of the palace, it was really as the new emperor thought, and it didn't even set off the slightest wave.

Emperor Tianqing has been abolished for more than two years, and the forces that originally belonged to him in the court have been slowly eliminated.

The real power of the clan prince Duanwang and others has been reduced, and some of the royal children of the wine bag and rice bag are only in the body, guarding the dignity of the royal family and the clan to live, although the court does not say that it is the new emperor's word, but no one will go to find trouble for the new emperor for a deposed person.

The few remaining ministers of Emperor Tianqing in the court were stunned for a while when they heard the news, sighed and turned their heads to be busy with their own affairs, and the courtiers promoted by the new emperor in the past two years did not care at all about this abolished emperor who had murdered loyal ministers and killed Princess Yongzhao.

As for Feng Yuan, he died even more quietly than Emperor Tianqing.

There was nothing unusual in the court because of the death of Emperor Tianqing, and after another half a year, the rebellion in Shuozhou also came to an end.

The outside world speculated that the war in Shuozhou had subsided, and after the new emperor sat on the throne, he would find a way to snatch military power with the eldest princess of Zhaochen had never appeared.

After the eldest princess of Zhaochen completely defeated the Yuan family and took Shuozhou to occupy Shuoyong Pass, not only did not mention the matter of letting the military generals of the court go to Shuozhou to take over the garrison, but also delegated all the military and political power of Shuozhou to the eldest princess Zhaochen.

During the Shuozhou War, the DPRK and China did their best to give people and materials, and there was never a shortage of military grain and grass.

Now that money is needed to restore people's livelihood after the war, the eldest princess of Zhaochen entered Beijing with a song, and the new emperor recruited Zhang Jun, the secretary of the household department, into the palace.

When Zhang Jun came, the new emperor was talking to Shen Zhongkang.

When I saw him, I didn't say nonsense and went straight to the point: "Zhang Shangshu, the excerpt of Shuozhou, has also seen it, how much silver can the household department take out now?" ”

Zhang Jun looked at the fold in his hand and frowned and said: "When the Sui people helped to attack Beidi, the war cost and the promised reward were only paid last year, and the great drought in the northwest cost more than 700,000 taels a year ago. ”

"Weichen has calculated lightly, and now the household can come up with less than 400,000 taels of silver."

Ying Yuanyu had a headache when he heard this.

The battle of Shuozhou was extremely damaged, and the Yuan family swore not to retreat, and even once transferred troops from Shuoyong Pass, and opened the door of the border pass so that the South Vietnamese army almost entered the pass, so that several border cities were severely damaged.

Later, although they were forced to retreat by Xue Nuo and Xiao Chi with their troops, in the end, the great war affected several places in the south, and it was not so easy to recover.

If you want Shuozhou to recuperate and let the southern border recover as soon as possible, so that the people can be self-sufficient, and you have to deal with the South Vietnamese attack and even deal with the possible war......

The hundreds of thousands of troops spent daily expenses, and the city was rebuilt, and money was simply needed everywhere.

Ying Yuanyu couldn't help but raise his head and said, "Those who owe the loans to the imperial court have all been recovered?" ”

Zhang Jun smiled bitterly: "It was already taken back last year." ”

Since long ago, the DPRK and China have had a "tradition" of owing money on credit to the household department, especially some lords and magnates as well as royal relatives, ranging from tens of thousands of taels to tens of thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels in accumulation.

During the reign of Emperor Tianqing, although there were many small disasters, there was no war, and there was no disaster to extend the country's disaster, coupled with the income from the two settlements of Cao Yun and the household department, so that the treasury was temporarily abundant, and there was no shortage of silver in the Ming Dynasty, so that Emperor Tianqing naturally looked down on this little money, and even indulged those people's greed.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Beidi War broke out, and the Shuozhou rebellion broke out almost at the same time, and the silver in the treasury was sprinkled like flowing water, and the court was once overstretched.

The new emperor opened his own private treasury, and sought rich merchants in Beijing to raise money, and later he also thought about those who owed the court money.

Pan Qing held the holy decree and led the forbidden army to collect it in person, how many dared not let go?

Except for some of the families that were dilapidated and had no land, and who could not get the money out of killing them, and some of them were already dead.

Almost all of those who had made IOUs with the court and took the silver were returned, and many of them were "forced to give interest" by their conscience, otherwise how could the remaining silver in the treasury during the reign of Emperor Tianqing support the war on both sides of Beidi and Shuozhou in the past two years?

"It's all back..."

Ying Yuanyu sighed regretfully, he wanted to pick up the wool a few more times, how could he return it all?

Zhang Jun's face twitched, Your Majesty, what do you want to do with this regretful tone?

Ying Yuanyu sighed lowly: "First allocate 300,000 taels from the treasury to Shuozhou, and send the grain and grass in the treasury to deal with emergencies, and Zhang Shangshu will also think of a way to see if he can find some silver from elsewhere, so as to help Shuozhou and other places resume production as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Jun was bitter when he heard this.

What is this saying?

He's just a household book, and he's not a god, so is the silver said to be found back?

In addition to robbing homes and houses, where can he go to get silver?

"Your Majesty, the household department is really out of line......" Zhang Jun wanted to complain as soon as he opened his mouth.

Ying Yuanyu hurriedly said: "How come, Aiqing has always been resourceful and intelligent, and the household department is also thriving under your care, Aiqing must have a way." ”

Zhang Jun: "......"

He almost rolled his eyes, no matter how high this high hat was, it couldn't hide the lack of money in the household.

Zhang Jun almost wanted to quit the stall, but Ying Yuanyu seemed to see what he wanted to say, and he didn't even have a chance to speak, so he went all the way, "Zhang Shangshu worked hard", "Pan Qing sent Zhang Shangshu out of the palace, remember to go to the treasury to get an old ginseng and give it to Zhang Shangshu to make up for his body".

Zhang Jun was taken out by Pan Qing in a daze, and as soon as the people left, Ying Yuanyu suddenly had a sad face, and he couldn't help but sigh when he sat on the couch.

For the first time, he felt that Xue Nuo didn't want the throne at the beginning, but he had foreseen it, and knew that the throne was a mess.

His pants were almost gone, but he still couldn't fill the holes he needed.
