Chapter 34: Don't be fooled by the demon concubine's rhetoric
Helan Yin is still discussing with the ministers about the remediation of the Niangniang River.
He wanted to burn it to the ground, but the ministers said it was an atrocity, and they knelt down one by one to think twice.
After thinking about it, he thought of raising taxes and imposing fines, anyway, he was short of money, so he naturally had to scrape a layer of oil.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Cui Zhe, the head of the household department, was the first to stand up and express his attitude, and he was very happy with the emperor's decision on Niangnianghe.
This is also normal, he is in charge of the money bag for the emperor, so he naturally wants the money bag to bulge.
Therefore, as early as after the accident of Niangnianghe, he began to thoroughly investigate the funds of many merchants in Niangnianghe in previous years, which will be handed over in a timely manner: "This is the bill of Niangnianghe for a year, and the ministers and several adults of the household department have calculated it three times, and there is still a large amount of money missing." ”
He is sensitive to money and feels that the merchants in Niangnianghe are not simpler than the other.
Helan Yin had long suspected this, and now, after taking it from the eunuch chief Wang Cheng, he read it and said with a smile: "If you want to come to this money, the demon concubine will give me an explanation." ”
He suspected that Niangniang River was the place where the demon concubine laundered money, and the laundered money naturally flowed into the Sang Kingdom.
Cui Zhe saw that he took the initiative to mention the demon concubine, thinking about the rumors that he was in the carriage with the demon concubine, and couldn't help but remind: "This amount of money is huge, and I hope that Your Majesty will investigate it thoroughly, don't be fooled by the demon concubine's rhetoric." ”
When the other ministers saw it, they all said: "I hope that Your Majesty will handle it impartially and without favoritism." ”
Is this a tacit agreement that he is not innocent with the demon concubine?
Helan Yin frowned when she heard this: "I said, I have nothing to do with the demon concubine. ”
He wants to go crazy with money, how can he be bewitched by the demon concubine? Besides, he had resisted her temptation. Over and over. He never failed.
None of that seems to matter, though.
Now the important thing is that the demon concubine will tell the truth?
She looked like she didn't care about Sang Guo, but what about when it came to real interests? Will it be said?
If she didn't say it, with her half-dead body, he didn't seem to be able to do anything about her?
Hey, her half-dead body is also a matter of his heart.
Just thinking about it, I saw Wang Cheng hurriedly go out and come back, his face hesitant, as if he was making some difficult decision.
So what was the hard decision?
This Wang Cheng is a smart person and has always had ideas, what kind of entanglement is this? It can't be a demon concubine's business, right?
Wang Cheng was indeed entangled in the matter of the demon concubine, he learned from the guards that the queen mother had summoned the demon concubine, and he felt that things were not good, and after thinking for a while, he still walked to the emperor's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, the queen mother summoned Sang Guifei." ”
Helan Yin was stunned: Did the queen mother know?
Regarding the rumors about him and the demon concubine, the Queen Mother should have heard it at this time, with her character of fasting and reciting Buddha and compassion, would she be murderous?
"Ah Yin, after you invade the Yan Kingdom, don't hurt the lives of those women and children, your murderous heart is too heavy, this is not a good thing, my mother is always worried about hurting your luck. Remember! Remember! ”
The queen mother is so gentle and pure, shouldn't she kill the demon concubine?
But what if?
The reputation of the demon concubine is too bad, and there are all kinds of killing voices from the government and the opposition, can the queen mother tolerate her?
Helan Yin thought about it, but he still didn't dare to get lucky, but he never admitted that he was worried about the demon concubine, but thought that Niangnianghe's funds still needed her! She can't die!
"Cui Aiqing, this matter will be handled by you, retreat from the dynasty!"
He gave the order and hurried out.
At the same time
Sunny was slowly carried into the gazebo.
The reason why it was slow was that Feng Runsheng deliberately slowed down the pace of several eunuchs, thinking about leaving time for the emperor to save people.
But they were already within the scope of the Yi'an Palace, not far from the pavilion where the Queen Mother was, and finally came to the Queen Mother before the emperor arrived.
The Queen Mother saw the demon concubine, who seemed to have been famous for a long time, and also looked at her face for a while, different from Helan Hui's daughter's comparison thoughts, and really recognized her beauty.
"What a wonderful person."
She is an objective review.
The other noble ladies are jealous:
"Queen Mother, with such a charming color, where is the wonderful person?"
"That's it, she and Emperor Yan Yun's affairs are dirty when they hear it, so they should be immersed in the pig cage!"
"Even if she is a broken flower and a willow, she dares to think about Your Majesty, Queen Mother, she really deserves a thousand cuts!"
"That's right, Queen Mother, the demon concubine has harmed the Yan Kingdom, and the people of the world can't wait to eat her flesh and drink her blood, if Your Majesty is entangled with her, what do the people of the world think of Your Majesty? This demon concubine can't stay! ”
"Sisters, look, this demon concubine has arrived in front of the Queen Mother, and there is no etiquette, Queen Mother, she is a big disrespectful crime!"
……
Many of them were seeing the demon concubine for the first time, but their words were full of murderous intent.
Sang Ning heard it clearly, but he was not angry, and even laughed: "You think I die so much, you don't know, you still think that I am harming your ancestors!" ”
She frowned with contempt and deliberately stimulated them: "Oh, by the way, if you want to kill me, then it must be as soon as possible, Your Majesty will come soon, and when the time comes, it will be you who are unlucky." ”
She did as she pleased, and began to scare people: "Wait, I remember what you just said, and I will teach Your Majesty to get it back for me." Your Majesty loves me the most, you have offended me, and the whole family is going to be doomed. If the man is beheaded, the woman will be sent to the Niangniang River, which is a good place, and you will be served well......
She collapsed on the sickbed, laughing and saying cruel words, which really scared those noble ladies.
The name of this demon concubine is not covered, and when she was in full bloom, she didn't know how many ministers Emperor Yanyun had killed, and how many children of good people had been harmed.
The air was quiet for a while.
Father Pan Zhan's wife, Qin Shicai, broke the silence and said angrily: "Queen Mother, look at it, this demon concubine, she, she is too rampant!" ”
Among all the noble ladies, she is the oldest, the highest status, and naturally the most daring.
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea, looked at Sang Ning, and smiled lovingly and kindly: "Okay, don't talk about it, she is inevitably willful in her illness, you don't have to be like her." ”
This tone is like spoiling your own children?
Sang Ning was stunned: Hey, why is this queen mother different from what she thinks? Still speaking for her? Such a good-natured one? Or is it pretended? In fact, is it a Buddha's mouth and snake heart?
Wait, could it be that the Dog Emperor is here?
She bracked herself up, turned her head and glanced back, not to mention, she really saw the dog emperor's royal car, and immediately decided that the queen mother was a hypocritical and smart woman, well, she was still the kind of woman who won the palace fight.
For such a woman, it must be the first to strike, and then to suffer.
"Your Majesty, woo, you're finally here."
Sang Ning closed his eyes and howled dryly: "Help! Your Majesty, the Queen Mother wants to kill me! ”
Didn't the Queen Mother want to pretend to be a good person and pretend to be a mother and a son?
Then she must have sabotaged her!
As long as she destroys their mother-son relationship, a palace fighting house fight-level winner like the Queen Mother will definitely be able to get rid of her as cannon fodder.
I don't know how I died, Mom, it's so suitable for her!
