Chapter 33: Nine times out of ten, Jing Heng is here to pit himself
Shi Yu looked at the sound, the other party was about forty years old, although he had been slightly blessed, but his appearance was somewhat similar to that of the Empress Dowager Lin.
Obviously, this person is her cheap uncle Lin Zhenghong.
"Your Majesty, even if you are a king, but unfilial piety is also a big crime, so contemptuous of the Queen Mother, aren't you afraid of being accused by the subjects of the world!" Lin Zhenghong spoke again, and it was like a bell, as if Shi Yu had done something angry and resentful.
It's just that everyone present looked at him at the moment, but they all cast sympathetic eyes.
They felt that Lin Shangshu was ...... to the emperor at this moment Or will you lose.
Sure enough, when Shi Yu heard this, instead of being nervous, he burst out laughing and lazily opened his mouth with a wine glass.
"Uncle, is this trying to put an unfilial hat on me?"
"Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen just speaks upright." Lin Zhenghong straightened his back.
"What an impartial and outspoken one." Shi Yu paused for a moment, and the smile on his face did not decrease, "Since I have said this, I want to ask my uncle, do you still want me to be filial and allocate another 100,000 taels to the Lin family?" ”
Lin Zhenghong's face changed, the wine glass in Shi Yu's hand fell heavily on the table, and his voice sank suddenly.
"I originally thought that I would allocate 100,000 taels of silver to let the queen mother have a lively birthday, but I didn't expect it to be like this now. Lord Lin, I would like to ask you, is it because you are greedy enough to fill your pockets, or in your eyes, the queen mother is only worthy of such a shabby birthday banquet? Such a contempt for the queen mother of a country, you are really bold! ”
"Wechen didn't! How could Weichen despise the Queen Mother! ”
"Then tell me, why did the birthday banquet look like this?" Shi Yu raised his eyebrows.
Jing Heng looked at Shi Yu, who suddenly became majestic, and chuckled lightly in his heart, Nie Shiyu is not angry with the Lin family and refuses to give up?
Lin Zhenghong didn't expect Shi Yu to take the initiative to mention this matter, and his face turned pale for a while.
It's not enough to harm the Lin family, but you still want to use the topic to play to punish your own crimes?
But in front of so many courtiers, he couldn't say anything about the loss of silver, so he frowned tightly, and finally looked at Empress Dowager Lin.
Empress Dowager Lin was already angry and wanted to leave directly, but when she saw Lin Zhenghong speak, she endured it for a while, but she didn't expect that she would have to relieve the Lin family by herself now, and she was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth.
"This birthday banquet is ordered by the mourning family, so it doesn't have to be too complicated!"
"The Queen Mother commanded it?" Shi Yu looked at the Empress Dowager Lin in surprise, and then suddenly realized, "I understand, the queen mother feels that the treasury is empty, and she wants to return the saved silver to the household department, right?" ”
Empress Dowager Lin and Lin Zhenghong both blackened their faces.
was stolen 100,000 taels, and he had to pay off gambling debts, plus today's banquet, where did the Lin family still have money to hand over to the household department!
Empress Dowager Lin took deep breaths again and again, and finally squeezed out a sentence almost from between her teeth: "Today is the mourning family's birthday banquet, and these things can be talked about later." ”
Shi Yu nodded apologetically, "It's because Erchen didn't think it through, today's birthday of the queen mother really can't be so eager." ”
As soon as Empress Dowager Lin and Lin Zhenghong breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Shi Yu say again: "Then wait until more than half of tonight, and my uncle will return the details of the birthday banquet and the remaining silver to the household department." ”
A group of courtiers: "......" is more than halfway through, and the emperor doesn't want to wait for a moment!
Tobe Shangshu: Is the emperor really ...... or is it a joke? Do you still have to deal with government affairs in the middle of the night tonight?
originally wanted to be angry with his sister, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was grabbed and rubbed on the ground with 100,000 taels, and now he was asked to take the money, Lin Zhenghong was going crazy.
"Your Majesty, no matter how the birthday banquet goes, you haven't even prepared a birthday gift, which shows that you don't respect the Queen Mother!"
Looking at Lin Zhenghong, who was "dying", Shi Yu shrugged his shoulders, "It's just a birthday gift, I will make up for it now." ”
With that, Shi Yu stood up and began to rummage through his sleeves in front of everyone.
After turning the left and right, I finally took out a piece of jade pendant with a very average color.
"Found it!"
Empress Dowager Lin looked at the temporary jade pendant, her face was disgusted and gloomy, "This is the birthday gift that the emperor wants to give to the mourning family?" ”
"The queen mother misunderstood." Shi Yu smiled and said, "How can this jade pendant be a birthday gift." ”
Empress Dowager Lin snorted coldly, no matter what treasures Shi Yu brings now, she is not rare!
And the courtiers who thought that the jade pendant was a birthday gift just now secretly shook their heads in their hearts, it seems that they are thinking too much, and they are right, even if it is a temporary charge, but this jade pendant is too bad.
But then, they heard Shi Yu speak: "I can't bear it." ”
After speaking, Shi Yu tore off the tassels that fell on the jade pendant, and then respectfully put it in front of the Empress Dowager Lin, "Give the queen mother's birthday gift." ”
Empress Dowager Lin was stunned.
The courtiers were also stunned.
How could this jade pendant be a birthday gift, I can't bear it.
So the birthday gift is not a jade pendant, just a tassel on top?
The whole banquet was quiet, and everyone looked at Shi Yu and then at Empress Dowager Lin in a complicated mood.
Although they don't know what happened to the mother and son, they can be sure that the Queen Mother should be mad.
After all...... From afar, you can see the green tendons on the queen mother's forehead, as if she is about to faint with anger.
And just when everyone thought that the most offending behavior was at this time, they saw that Shi Yu turned around and handed the jade pendant in his hand to Xiao Xiazi who was standing behind him.
"I've put it away, next time I'm going to use the jade pendant, and I'll borrow it from you."
Xiao Xiazi: "......" the conscience of heaven and earth, this jade pendant is not his!
A group of courtiers: "......" Good guy, the jade pendant is still borrowed from Father-in-law Xia, the emperor has made a special trip to kill the queen mother!
At this moment, all eyes looked at Empress Dowager Lin in unison.
Empress Dowager Lin couldn't help it at all, stood up suddenly, pointed at Shi Yu and scolded: "You ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was dizzy with anger, and the whole person fell directly back into the chair.
"The Queen Mother!" The eunuch and palace maid on the side exclaimed in fright.
Shi Yu's face also changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager Lin.
"Queen Mother, you must not have an accident!"
This tone of concern was very worried, and the courtiers were stunned for a moment.
Although every word of the emperor just now seemed to be angry with the Queen Mother, but now it seems that at the critical moment, the Emperor is still worried about the Queen Mother.
However, as soon as this thought popped up in everyone's minds, the next moment, they heard Shi Yu say again: "After all, it costs a lot of money to hold a funeral!" ”
Courtier: "......"
