Chapter 138: They're all richer than him
After saying this, although the big fat orange was thick-skinned enough, he couldn't help but quietly tilt his head.
There is some heat on the face, and if you change it to a fair complexion, you can still see the pink on the cheeks.
Picking up the tea at hand, the big fat orange pretended to take a sip to hide his embarrassment, and waited for the Queen Mother's reply.
The Queen Mother was stunned for a long time, she thought that the emperor would make all kinds of requests, but she didn't expect it to be this.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, she has more or less known about the emptiness of the treasury, but she has not taken it to heart.
Only today did I know that perhaps the situation was much more difficult than the ear she listened to. Otherwise, the emperor would not have hit her with his idea.
The Queen Mother thought about her private rooms, as well as the things that the first emperor gave her before leaving. Except for the ones that will be taken away at that time, the rest of the queen mother is ready to be kept by the old fourteenth.
The eldest son is already an emperor, and he is not bad for these things. The younger son is not welcomed, so he can leave some money to live with him, so that future generations can live more easily.
But now that the emperor threatens the old fourteen, the queen mother feels sorry for the millions of taels of silver, but she feels even more sorry for her son.
Anyway, as long as she is still there, if she wants to save some family business for Lao Fourteen, there will always be a way.
The Queen Mother said, "Concubine Hua's filial piety is commendable, the old eyes of the mourning family are dizzy, and they are also old. If the emperor can arrange for someone to share the worries of the mourning family, the mourning family will also be happy to enjoy the blessings. ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother agreed, the big fat orange finally had a smiling face, "I am busy with government affairs, and I am indeed a little negligent about this, and I hope that the emperor will not blame him." ”
"I thought about it just now, although the old fourteen is in the imperial mausoleum, it is really inconvenient to take medicine."
"I will let people follow, and if the old fourteen's condition allows, I will immediately send him back to Beijing for resettlement. In this way, both the emperor and I can rest assured. ”
When the Queen Mother heard that her beloved youngest son could finally return to Beijing, the joy in her heart was overflowing.
couldn't wait to say, "In this case, the mourning family wants Zhuxi to come over and have a look." ”
The big fat orange's face sank, and the queen mother's heart immediately became nervous. But she really didn't feel at ease if she didn't let Zhuxi follow.
Xu is for the sake of the silver, but the big fat orange still nodded in agreement, "Since this is the case, let Zhu Xi go with Xiao Yuanzi." ”

Coming out of the Palace of Nourishing Heart, due to the urgency of the matter, the Queen Mother only told Zhu Xi a few words, asking her to take good care of the old fourteen, and if she could, she must let him return to Beijing.
The emperor finally spoke, if it didn't work out this time, he didn't know next time, and he would wait for the Year of the Monkey.
It's just Concubine Hua......
When the Queen Mother thought that she had worked hard all her life and ended up working in vain, she hated herself.
Those private properties, only she, Zhu Xi, and Zhu Yun know best. It stands to reason that even if she hides some of it, the emperor will probably not be able to see it.
But the queen mother didn't dare to do this, for fear of being discovered by the big fat orange, and sprinkled all the fire on her younger son.
As soon as the front foot returned to Shoukang Palace, the people from the back foot Heart Cultivation Hall went to the door. Let Zhuyun hand over all the things, so as to fulfill the emperor's filial piety for her.
The Queen Mother was alone in the small Buddha hall, praying for the blessing of the Bodhisattva, and the youngest son could turn evil into good fortune and be auspicious in distress.
Liang Chun took a few eunuchs to find the least number of people and the most remote road, and brought the account books, contracts, and related seals back to the Heart Cultivation Hall in a low-key manner.
I thought it all over again in my heart, and I knew it in my chest. Liang Chun went in with the ledger and waited for the big fat orange to ask.
The big fat orange flipped through the accounts in his hand, he originally thought that the queen mother's private property was no more than seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver.
According to the records in this account book, there are more than 1,700,000 taels. What he had guessed before was only a fraction of what he had guessed.
Although most of them are real estate such as granges and shops, the box of silver tickets in his hand is also 500,000 taels.
Whether it is his mother or his concubine, all of them are richer than him.
In fact, after inheriting the throne, the silver in the private treasury is not less than that of the Queen Mother. It's just that the treasury has no money, and he has to fill it with his private treasury.
There is no money in the private treasury, so he wants to borrow some treasury silver to renovate the palace, and he has to be told by hundreds of officials that he must not have the heart of extravagant pleasure.
In this cycle, he became the poorest one as an emperor, what kind of truth is this!
But with these in hand, the big fat orange can finally breathe a sigh of relief, as long as there is no major drought and flood this year, it will be relieved in the second half of the year.
Big Fat Orange asked, "It's all here, and the people of Shoukang Palace are not embarrassed?" ”
Liang Chun said, "The Queen Mother is grateful for the emperor's filial piety, and it is too late to be happy, how can she be embarrassed." ”
"After the slave passed, the Queen Mother directly asked Aunt Zhuyun beside her to hand over the account book and letters to the slave one by one."
"Even this box of silver tickets was given by the Queen Mother on her own initiative. Zhu Yun said that the queen mother knew that the emperor was worried about the government, and the palace could not use these silver taels, so she asked the servants to bring them back, hoping to share the emperor's worries. ”
Hearing the word "worry", the big fat orange looked really unnatural. But it doesn't matter, and you can't sit on the throne if you are too embarrassed.
Big Fat Orange said, "I'll leave this matter to you, and take care of the things in this ledger." ”
"You are already in charge of many industries such as Huangzhuang, and these must be handy for you. Or as usual, every other month, just report to me. ”
Liang Chun replied, "Thank you to the emperor, the servants dare not live up to the emperor's trust, and they will do their best to serve the emperor." ”

Chuxiu Palace
Hongtian was sick, because it was too noisy and the cold wind blew, so he suffered from the wind cold. Sun Miaoqing, a strict mother, can only spend more thought on him.
As soon as he finished feeding Hongtian and drinking the medicine, Liuli hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Sun Miaoqing's ear.
Sun Miaoqing instructed Rose and Mama Li a few words, asked them to take care of them carefully, and went back to the dormitory with Liuli and Lily of the Valley.
Thinking of the news she heard just now, Sun Miaoqing asked without giving up, "Are you sure it's true, the emperor really asked people to go to the Queen Mother and take a lot of account books back to the Heart Cultivation Palace?" ”
Liuli nodded and said, "It's true, Liang Chun, who took the lead, is the emperor's henchman and has been taking care of the emperor's private property. ”
"The slave maid passed by the Yuhua Pavilion just now and saw it by accident."
"They walked from the direction of Shoukang Palace to the Yangxin Palace, and they also deliberately found a path, obviously not wanting to attract attention."
Sun Miaoqing was shocked, she didn't even let go of her mother, she was afraid that her silver would not be guaranteed!
