"Investment? What investment? ”

Zhu Tianzheng had doubts on his face.

Lin Bai had to explain the matter again, and then said: "The minister was afraid that he would not be able to complete the task assigned by His Majesty, so he agreed to those merchants. ”

"It's just that I never thought that Your Majesty was mighty, and those corrupt officials were scared to hand over the stolen silver, and the amount had already exceeded, so the part of the merchants should naturally be returned to them."

The corners of Zhu Tianzheng's mouth hooked up a touch of pain, making it clear that he was reluctant.

said in his mouth: "Then how can it be done, you are an official of the imperial court, since you promised them, wouldn't it be a reversal to return it?" ”

"And the world knows that you are raising money for disaster relief at my will."

He paused and continued: "It's nothing more than choosing a place to build a safe new city, you and Yan Xiang discuss it, choose a place from the disaster area, and build another new city, by the way, it can also alleviate the disaster situation in the disaster area, this matter is feasible, so it's decided." ”

Lindbergh:......

What's so special about it, you can't get out of your pocket with money?

The point is, before my brother has ever passed his hand, he saw a string of numbers, and then he didn't do it?

Okay, you old Zhu.

Zhu Tianzheng seemed to be afraid that Lin Bai would continue to ask for money, so he hurriedly said, "Okay!" That's all for this, I'm tired, all of you step aside! ”

"All gone?"

After everyone retreated, Zhu Tianzheng asked.

Gonggong Cao nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, they are all gone." ”

Zhu Tianzheng hummed, and then took out the account book again, his face full of excitement, "Old thing, this is all true?" More than 16 million taels? ”

Gonggong Cao replied: "The silver tickets are packed in several large boxes, and they shouldn't be fake." ”

"How the hell did he do it? In just three days, so much silver was raised. ”

"And those bastards, they are so greedy for so much silver, it's damn good."

"Hahaha!!"

“……”

Outside the Royal Palace.

Lin Bai was depressed.

Zhu Ziyan was quite happy, because the matter was over, and Bai Ling reminded: "Princess, it's late, we should go back." ”

The subscription meeting itself will be at night, and it has been tossing in the imperial study for so long.

Lin Bai looked at Zhu Ziyan and said, "Thank you tonight!" ”

Zhu Ziyan nodded, and wanted to say something, maybe because Yan Zhenlin was also there, so she only said: "Then be careful yourself, it's so late, or I'll let someone escort ......."

Yan Zhenlin said: "Don't worry, princess, the old minister will let people send Lord Lin back." ”

After a pause, he said: "Actually, it is not appropriate for the princess to have too close contact with Lord Lin, at least not before the prince is decided." ”

Zhu Ziyan was stunned for a moment.

In fact, she understood that her father was suspicious, but she couldn't hold back for a while.

"Thank you for the reminder."

After the Seventh Princess left, Yan Zhenlin immediately looked at Lin Bai, "Lord Lin, let's talk?" ”

The carriage slowly left the imperial city.

In the car, Yan Zhenlin looked at Lin Bai, the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, and he took the lead in speaking: "Lord Lin, do you know, what does Your Majesty mean by this move tonight?" ”

Lin Bai wasn't sure what the other party wanted to do.

So far, though, this guy doesn't seem to be doing himself any favors.

said that he was the leader of the Lord and the faction, but it didn't seem to be all the way with the three princes, and it could be seen from Yan Ruxue's words that the Yan family had not yet chosen which prince.

"Naturally, it's because the lower officials have trespassed, and Your Majesty intends to beat it."

Lin Bai replied.

Yan Zhenlin smiled and asked again: "Then why is it after the subscription meeting ends?" ”

Is this forcing brother to tell the truth?

Brother Routine?

Lin Bai decided to try: "Because the imperial court lacks silver, the disaster in Hedong can't wait, but he doesn't want to spend money to atone for his sins and make the hundred officials unscrupulous, so he deliberately beats it to warn the hundred officials." ”

Yan Zhenlin said: "Why does Lord Lin think it's just a beating?" And not to kill you directly? ”

This!

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized that there was really such a possibility.

Kill yourself directly, push everything on yourself, then the money will be collected, and you don't have to bear any responsibility, you have your own scapegoat.

Yan Zhenlin continued: "Do you know what the emperor values most since ancient times? ”

"It is the majesty of imperial power, and it must not be provoked."

"Your move, although it is not a violation of the imperial power, has already transgressed, and the reason why you can still be safe and sound is because you have the ability, there is no substitute for the time being, and Your Majesty still needs you."

"If one day someone can replace you, then you may be a corpse now."

mmp！

So brutal?

Brother didn't do anything, did he? Is this an offense to the imperial power?

Lin Bai felt that he couldn't understand the brain circuits of these ancient people.

Although it is a bit excessive, it is not so exaggerated, in the final analysis, my brother is not here to make money!

"Since ancient times, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and Lord Lin will act in the future, remember to think twice."

Yan Zhenlin admonished.

Lin Bai looked at the other party suspiciously, and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Yan, why can you be so trusted by Your Majesty?" ”

Yan Zhenlin shook his head, "I can't talk about trust, Yan only does what he should do, to be exact, he only does what His Majesty wants me to do." ”

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment and asked, "For example, Lord He, too?" ”

Yan Zhenlin asked rhetorically: "Why not?" ”

"There is a strong representative of the main battle faction of the Night King above the court, then there must be a strong representative of the main battle faction, you have to remember that whether it is the main peace or the main battle, it is for Your Majesty, when Your Majesty needs the main peace, the main peace faction will occupy the top, and when Your Majesty needs the main battle, the main battle faction will naturally come in handy."

"The king of a country, many things will not be said explicitly, but the courtiers will say, just like opposing General Wu's expedition, and the people's resentment is boiling, what should I do? Catharsis in His Majesty's body? Naturally, it can't be, it can only be the Lord and the faction. ”

"Remember, Your Majesty is always supreme, and Your Majesty's majesty cannot be provoked, so it can only be others who are at fault."

“……”

I see!

Your Majesty doesn't say that you want your courtiers to say it, that's in case things are smashed and someone will take the blame for Your Majesty.

If it happens, it will naturally be the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, and on the contrary, it will be the minister's pot, anyway, the emperor will never be wrong, and he can't be wrong.

Because one mistake, the emperor's majesty will be affected.

Therefore, Yan Zhenlin is not a main peace faction at all, nor is he a main battle faction, where His Majesty needs him, he is there.

Just like in the imperial study just now, he was the one who said that he could be commuted as appropriate, and he would be the one who would be impeached by the imperial history in the court in the future.

However, in fact, it was His Majesty who was reluctant to give up the money, and Yan Zhenlin just said those words on behalf of His Majesty.

I'll go!

It's really not easy for this official to be in charge!

No wonder His Majesty always likes to take his old face with him, and he trusts each other so much, it's just ......

Yan Zhenlin continued: "Of course, today's matter is not so serious, when you first entered the court, Your Majesty is just beating you. ”

"However, you must be cautious in the future, there are some mistakes that can be made, such as taking Han Sanqian, this kind of mistake can be made, and Your Majesty will be happy to see it, because Your Majesty likes people with shortcomings, and it is easy to handle."

"Some don't, for example, if you get too close to the Seventh Princess, it won't do you any good."

Lin Bai was puzzled: "Why? ”

The marriage was given by His Majesty, but it turned out that he couldn't get too close, what is this?

It's just a soft meal, it's so complicated?

……

Some people died, but not completely......
