Saying that, the emperor also looked at her carefully, and then shook his head and said, "But I see, your face doesn't look like you're wearing fat powder, it seems that your fat powder is not very good, didn't you meet a profiteer?" ”

Although Jiusi freshened up before entering the palace, because of the hot weather, he did not put on makeup, thinking that it would be good to see the palace plain and clean, so as not to dislike the nobles with too much face, but he never thought that he was caught by the emperor with pigtails.

When the female relatives of the official family enter the palace to meet them, there are rules on dress, and once the saint is really investigated, it will be a great crime of disrespect.

Jiusi understands that the emperor is letting her choose by herself again, if she wants money, then she has to be punished, if she doesn't want to be punished, then she has to hand over all the money, and if she has both, she doesn't even think about it.

There is no way, in order to avoid punishment, she can only spend money to eliminate the disaster.

However, in order to maximize the benefits, she did not hand over the money directly, but changed the way: "If you go back to the emperor, the fat powder money that the courtiers said is not all the silver money earned, but the silver taels left after returning the silver owed by the treasury, which is only a hundred taels after careful calculation." ”

The Emperor did not expect her to mention the matter of the arrears of silver, and he could not help but be surprised for a moment, but soon recovered and asked aloud, "Oh, how did you remember to return the arrears of the treasury?"

Could it be that your father gave you the blame? ”

Jiusi's answer is very natural: "It is a matter of course to repay debts, why do you need someone to explain?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he was silent.

Such a simple truth, she understands it as a little girl, why does no one understand his courtiers?

Maybe they don't understand, they just don't want to pay back, after all, his courtiers have borrowed a lot of money from the treasury.

The grace of the heavenly family to let the courtiers in difficulty go to the treasury to borrow money, this is a good thing, but it will be passed into the ears of future generations in the future, and it is a good story of monarchs and ministers.

It's a pity, it's hard to borrow money, even if the creditor is royal, it's impossible, not to mention that he can't pull down the money to ask for it.

Just like when he first ascended the throne, the war at the border has not stopped, and the natural disasters everywhere are still there, and the emperor doesn't care about everything, he only cares about pleasure, and the treasury is poor, so he doesn't even go to the mice, he can only hint to the courtiers to pay back the money, but can't ask for it himself!

He still remembered the scene, and no matter what he suggested, none of the courtiers was willing to return the money owed to the treasury.

In the end, if he hadn't raided the homes of a few corrupt officials so that the policy could be carried out smoothly, there would have been a lot of deaths at the border gates and disaster areas.

In recent years, although his throne has been firmly seated, and the government has become orderly, the treasury is still so poor, otherwise he would not have found Lin Jiusi, who intercepted his beard.

This time, although there are reasons to get rid of those families, there is also the intention of taking the opportunity to replenish the treasury, but I didn't expect that Lin Jiusi, who had a truncated beard, would appear halfway.

Now that she had brought up the matter of returning the arrears, she had reminded him that instead of going through so much trouble to get things done, why not try to get back the arrears.

At the beginning, his position was unstable and he couldn't suppress those courtiers, but now that his position is stable, there is no need to endure them anymore.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Jiusi, who looked down, and felt that this was a good time, so he immediately asked out loud: "Are you really willing to return the silver owed by the treasury?" ”

Jiusi nodded firmly: "Of course!" ”

When the emperor saw her nodding, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I have given you a matter, if you do it well, I will consider what you asked for before, how about it?" ”

Before, Jiusi wanted the emperor to directly separate the Liu family from the Lin family, but he refused, on the grounds that Lin Ruhai was still working for him, and he couldn't chill the hearts of his courtiers.

Now, he actually took the initiative to mention this matter, Jiusi naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly asked: "Is the emperor's words true?" ”

Seeing that she was so anxious, the emperor knew that this matter was all right, and said with a smile: "Once the Son of Heaven has spoken, there is no reason to take it back, as long as you help me do this, then I will give you a chance." ”

He was not afraid that Lin Jiu would want something, but he was afraid that she would not want anything, because only in this way could he hold her and do things for himself.

Especially Lin Jiusi and her maids' martial arts are very high, and she herself knows medical skills and poison techniques, if nothing can contain her, it is really dangerous, and it can't make him feel at ease.

Jiusi didn't expect that there would be this unexpected joy, so he responded directly without saying a word: "A word is a certainty, and I hope that after the matter is done, the emperor can do what he says." ”

When the emperor heard this, he got up and came to her with a smile, and helped her up with the strength of the folding fan: "I know that you are a smart person, you can rest assured, I will definitely do what I say."

What I asked you to do is not anything else, it is this matter of returning the debt, I hope that when you go to repay the debt, you can make a lot of noise, preferably the kind that everyone knows, I think this matter is not difficult for you! ”

Jiusi proposed to repay the silver, in order to let the courtiers repay the money with her, after all, she can't be the only one who is distressed.

However, in order not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, she still pretended to have just reacted and said, "Your Majesty, this is ...... Do you want those ministers to pay back the money? ”

When the emperor saw that she had guessed it, he didn't hide it from her, and said bluntly: "Exactly."

Since the treasury opened this example, none of those courtiers have repaid the money, whether they have borrowed or not, that is, the treasury is empty, and they are all like they can't see it, no matter how much I hint at it, it is useless, and now I am afraid that there will be no IOUs left. ”

After hearing this, Jiusi blurted out: "Are these people so shameless?" ”

After saying that, she realized that there was also a share of the Lin family among the people who owed money and did not pay it back, and even she mentioned this matter, she just wanted others to feel distressed with her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her nose in embarrassment, and then, bowing her head slightly, she didn't dare to look up at the emperor's eyes that seemed to be smiling.

The emperor looked at her for a while and laughed, and then opened his mouth to relieve her embarrassment: "It's rare to see you have such a posture, but it's rare."

But you don't have to worry too much, at that time, your father was serving in Yangzhou and had not yet returned to Beijing, and he didn't know about it, and your Lin family was not among the people you scolded. ”

After hearing this, Jiusi's face became better, and he said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, hehe......

Your Majesty, don't worry, the courtiers will definitely handle this matter well, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied. ”

When the emperor heard this, he just smiled and didn't say much, he never believed in any guarantees, only looked at the facts, and if he wanted to be satisfied, he had to look at her performance.

After being in contact for so long, Jiusi also understands the emperor's temperament a little, not only does she like to do practical things, but even her subordinates ask for it, so she didn't say more.

Subsequently, the two discussed the details, and after making sure that there would be no problems with the control, she said goodbye to the emperor and queen with Daiyu who came out of the inner hall, and went out of the palace to return to the Lin family.
