Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

Emperor Yongtai's face was gloomy and a little terrifying, and the major events that had happened one after another recently were all news that was unfavorable to him.

Whether it is the internal affairs of the Yellow River bursting its banks, or the territorial turmoil of the maritime frontier, it is all adding fuel to the fire, and there is a vague feeling that the edifice is about to collapse.

Moreover, after a big war, the pension for the families of the fallen soldiers alone is not a small amount.

Now the treasury of the imperial court has long been empty, and the rats will shake their heads and run out when they enter.

The Yellow River burst its banks, and silver was needed for disaster relief.

The court needs silver to function.

Big things inside and outside need silver.

Silver, silver, silver...

At this moment, Emperor Yongtai's mind is full of how to make money, make money, or make money.

The poverty of the country was beyond his expectations.

What's even more unexpected is that after copying the Zhen family, the wealth obtained does not meet his expectations, which is really a bit strange.

It stands to reason that the Zhen family is a hidden wealthy family in the Jiangnan region, and after raiding the house, no matter how you say it, you can get millions of taels of silver.

However, according to the stolen goods presented to the court by Jia Yun and Prince Zhongshun, the price that can be estimated in his heart is far from the actual estimation, and it is not a grade at all.

So, Emperor Yongtai hurriedly called the secret agent who followed Jia Yun to the Jiangnan area to raid the house, and asked, "Did Jia Yun secretly embezzle it, or did it hide the Zhen family's silver?"

When the man heard this, he shook his head and replied, "Your Majesty, Lord Jia has not secretly swallowed any dirty silver except for playing with women, and this matter is not only our people watching him, but even Prince Zhongshun's people are also watching him, and it is difficult for him to get the silver under our noses. However, when I was interrogating the slaves of the Zhen family, I heard a piece of news, and I don't know if this matter is true or not?"

When Emperor Yongtai heard this, he immediately hurriedly said, "Say, what news?"

The man pondered for a moment before he replied cautiously, "It seems that the Zhen family got the news before and had a premonition that the Zhen family would be raided, so they transported all the silver and valuables in their mansion to Rongguo Mansion, Beijing Mansion and other places, in order to protect themselves in the future."

Hearing that person's words, Emperor Yongtai squinted his eyes slightly, not quite knowing whether this matter was true or false, if it really involved Rongguo Mansion and Beijing Wangfu and others, it would not be easy to deal with.

Immediately, Emperor Yongtai ordered this person to continue to investigate, and along this clue, he must investigate the matter clearly and give himself an explanation.

After arranging this matter, Emperor Yongtai couldn't help but bow his head and mutter, "That Jia Yun is really a greedy person, and even the sisters of the Zhen family can look up to it. Well, I'm going to do a good thing this time, and give these women to him, so that he won't come and scold me for being unkind."

After a short period of calm, Emperor Yongtai still decided to reuse Jia Yun instead of killing Jia Yun. Ь.

Now Emperor Yongtai is only thirty-four years old and is at the peak of his life, so he is not afraid that he will not be able to suppress Jia Yun at all, and the ambitious Emperor Yongtai also needs a capable minister to assist him, stabilize the dynasty, and not let the world die in his hands.

The sea border is in turmoil, the Yellow River is bursting, the peasants are revolting...

Everything was enough to shake the foundations of the dynasty's rule.

At this time of crisis, Emperor Yongtai happened to lack capable ministers, and that Jia Yun may be the indispensable person.

As for Jia Yun's greed for money and lust, Emperor Yongtai thought he was very cute.

Because, with this handle on Jia Yun, then he can be taken down by Emperor Yongtai at any time, imprisoned, and exterminated, just like He Shen.

At this moment, Emperor Yongtai felt that Jia Yun was Heshen, and it was extremely useful to keep it, and he could help him a lot.

Dai Quan, who was waiting on the side, also glanced at the Yongtai Emperor, and hurriedly reported the recent news in the capital, and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that King Beijing and Prince Zhongshun have been fighting for a drama recently, therefore

The whole capital is in an uproar, and there is a lot of commotion."

When Emperor Yongtai heard this, he couldn't help but stand up, looked at Dai Quan, and said, "Jiang Yuhan? A drama is worth fighting for by a few of them? There must be something wrong with this person and he knows some secret that no one knows. Go down and send someone to track him down, and you must find him for me."

Dai Quan nodded and said, "No."

I saw that Dai Quan slowly retreated, intending to deal with this matter. Emperor Yongtai couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas, it's an eventful season!"

When Emperor Yongtai sighed, Queen Dugu walked here from the harem to visit Emperor Yongtai, and she was also planning to discuss with Emperor Yongtai about the proposed prince.

If the prince does not stand for a day, then Queen Dugu's heart will not be at peace for a day.

The changes in the outside world are accelerating, and Queen Dugu's sense of security is lower.

The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart.

Queen Dugu will not let anyone threaten her son, let alone let her son deserve the throne fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, Empress Dugu planned to come over to Emperor Yongtai in advance to ask for news about this matter.

The eunuch outside ran in advance, looked at Emperor Yongtai, and said, "Your Majesty, the queen mother is here."

Emperor Yongtai's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he didn't expect Queen Dugu to come to this place, so he hurriedly whispered, "Huh? Why is she here today? It's rare."

The next moment he commanded the eunuch who was standing before him, "Let her in."

After that, the eunuch took the will and ran out and brought Queen Dugu in.

Queen Dugu walked into the room inside, and happened to see Emperor Yongtai reviewing the folds, so she hurriedly walked over, looked at Emperor Yongtai with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, you should also rest!"

Why doesn't Emperor Yongtai want to rest?

It's just that Emperor Yongtai can't rest.

The entire imperial court is currently in turmoil, and for the sake of safety, he even put Jia Yun on vacation to prevent Jia Yun from rebelling and supporting King Beijing to ascend the throne, which caught him off guard and lost his imperial power and throne.

As for why he didn't kill Jia Yun in one go, it was because Jia Yun still had benefits and use value.

It's easy to kill, but if you want to cultivate another Jia Yunlai, it's all up to luck, and it's really not a good idea.

What's more, Jia Yunnai is the Minister of Military Aircraft, and he is in a high position. xь.

He has more henchmen in the court, and he affects his whole body.

Once Emperor Yongtai killed Jia Yun, it undoubtedly plunged the entire imperial court into internal strife and division, making the already bad situation worse, but it was not Mingjun's doing.

Emperor Yongtai is not willing to be a king of a dead country.
