The ministers are not fools, and the two faces of Huaiyuan Hou before and after are clearly weak-hearted.

Sure enough, Tang Shi's words confirmed their guess in the next moment.

[I found it, it turns out that the person behind the largest gambling house in the capital, Changle Gambling House, is the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion. 】

[The Marquis of Huaiyuan's Mansion has something, and quietly sent dry shares to the most powerful magnates in Beijing, forming a fine and dense network of relationships, no wonder even the children of the declining dignitaries like the Hongguo Mansion are also deceived. 】

[The imperial court is really stupid, it didn't impose additional heavy taxes on gambling houses, which are businessless and profitable, even if they don't collect taxes, they sell a gambling house license, so they can get a piece of the pie, otherwise the money will be earned by these families, and the court won't even eat the leftovers, no wonder the emperor and the treasury are poor twice in three days. So you won't hold silver, you are not poor and who is poor. 】

The minister who received the dry shares swallowed his saliva, for fear that this fire would burn on him immediately, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Marquis Huaiyuan said is true, the ministers are confused, and they have listened to the instigation of Hong Guogong, and ask the emperor to punish him." ”

Hurry up and get this done, or they'll be stripped of their old bottoms in a while.

Poor Hong Guogong is a lot old, he was exposed to family ugliness, and he was beaten by Fu Ningbo, not to mention, now that the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and he has to be pushed out to bear the emperor's anger, he is so angry that his mouth is crooked: "You...... You villains, Marquis Huaiyuan, you dare to harm my grandson, the old man fought with you. ”

This time, the Duke of Hong Guo pounced on the Marquis of Huaiyuan.

The two of them scuffled, you pulled my beard, I grabbed your hair, and rolled around on the ground in no order. When the eunuch separated the two, the two old men had blue noses and swollen faces, messy hair, and several footprints on their clothes, and their images were completely gone.

However, Hong Guogong was older, and although he took the initiative to attack, he suffered the greatest loss, and he was in pain all over his body.

He was angry and angry, anyway, his old bottom was leaked, and the most precious eldest grandson was also infected by his allies, and now these people are still pushing him out to take the blame, what else does he have to worry about as a barefoot?

He simply knelt on the spot: "Your Majesty, the old minister was confused, he listened to the instigation of Huaiyuan Marquis and Zhen Dingbo, and entered the palace to force each other to die, the old minister was stupid, he did not distinguish between right and wrong, and he fell into the trap of a traitor, please punish the emperor." ”

Hmph, he can't drink a pot, don't even think about running away from these dog things that hurt him, you have to be unlucky together.

Tang Shi: [Really Dingbo? This guy deserves to wear a pair of pants with Huaiyuanhou, traitor, he made plans, fanned the flames, and hid at the back, letting Hong Guogong, the second fool, rush to the front. I'll see what this guy is all about. 】

As soon as Uncle Zhen Dingbo heard the other party call out his name, he secretly said that it was not good, and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty, please punish the emperor." ”

It's crisp and neat, and it doesn't drag the water at all.

Immediately afterwards, a group of ministers followed the rudder when they saw the wind, and they also knelt down and changed their words: "Your Majesty, it is Weichen and others who have their thoughts, and today it is all Weichen's fault, please punish the emperor." ”

The ministers who brushed the ground and knelt down on the ground again, but the direction of the wind had changed all at this time, and only the commanders of the soldiers and horses of Dongcheng and Beicheng and several officials had extremely ugly faces.

This time, they followed into the palace to participate in the upper peak, with the determination to win, they wanted to get Meng Jiang Chai Liang and others down, and replace them themselves, and now they have offended their boss by giving up halfway, don't want to have a good life in the future. It can be said that stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, how can they be willing.

But these adults who promised them well before have changed their minds, and just a few of them can't set off the storm, so they can only admit it with ugly faces.

Tang Shi, who was rummaging through the gossip, was confused by this sudden change: [Eh, why did they suddenly admit their mistake, hey, I thought I was going to see a fierce duel between monarchs and ministers, why did they suddenly stop? Boring. 】

You tell me? The ministers slandered, but they didn't dare to speak, for fear that they would be targeted by this mysterious guy as soon as they spoke out, and the old bottom would be exposed.

Concubine Shu and the others watched such a good show, and they couldn't help but glance at Concubine An, so they almost said, Concubine An, you have said more, they haven't heard enough.

But An Concubine is as steady as an old dog, completely unmoved.

Tang Shi raised his head to drink water and saw this scene: [Concubine Shu's eyes are convulsed? 】

Concubine Shu bowed her head depressedly.

Concubine An breathed a sigh of relief, hit her crookedly, and temporarily affirmed her identity again. But she didn't pretend the joy of success at all, only endless regrets, she knew earlier, she knew that she would never do such a stupid thing.

Now she is in tension and worry all the time, and even sleeping and dreaming at night is a picture of herself being tied up and beheaded after being exposed.

Emperor Tianheng couldn't see it, but he could also imagine what was happening in the side hall.

This very small episode suddenly made his mood much better.

He looked condescendingly at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and wagging their tails and begging for mercy, and curled his lips in mockery: "So, are you supporting me and supporting Chai Liang Mengjiang?" ”

The ministers nodded like garlic: "Yes, yes." The emperor, who was all a micro-minister before, was really ashamed to ignore the overall situation for his own selfishness, and asked the emperor to punish him. ”

Emperor Tianheng's tone still didn't change: "There is no need to punish him. ”

The ministers were all happy in their hearts, and they knew that the law did not hold the people accountable, and the emperor would definitely not be able to punish them severely for this matter.

But soon they were not happy, because Emperor Tianheng continued: "I am very happy that you Aiqing can have this realization. You are all the pillars of my Dayong's country, loyal and righteous people, and they will definitely support me with actions, support the imperial court, and solve the plague as soon as possible, then I will fulfill your loyalty. ”

"Hong Guogong, since you are worried about your grandson, why don't you join the team that transports supplies into Dongcheng, not only to serve the imperial court, but also to see your grandson and reunite with your relatives, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

"Huaiyuan Hou, you have a lot of industries in Dongcheng, and there are a lot of guys underneath, you bring your children and grandchildren over to take care of your own industry, and at the same time, you can also organize these people to help the Five Cities Terracotta Division set up checkpoints at various intersections to relieve the pressure of the Five Cities Terracotta Division."

"Zhending Bo ......"

……

Hearing that Emperor Tianheng had even named several thorns, and they were all sent to the Dongcheng epidemic area to do things, the ministers suddenly trembled with fear.

There is a plague in Dongcheng, so if you run there at this time, if you get infected with the plague, it will be over.

These people are used to being pampered, and they are very willing to risk their lives?

But the emperor's words were justified and righteous, and they couldn't find a reason to refuse, and once they objected, it was a protest.

The ministers were suddenly miserable.

Tang Shile: [If you are very happy, you should throw these guys who don't work and point fingers to the epidemic area, let them see how hard the front-line staff are, so that they don't have back pain when they stand and talk, and they don't do anything and drag their feet. 】

[Guagua, how high is the mortality rate of the plague?] This group of old guys is not young, their immunity is reduced, and their resistance to the plague is definitely not as good as that of young adults, so they will not be served in a pot. 】

Hong Guogong, who was most afraid of death, turned white when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old and lacks energy, and he can't afford to transport supplies. For the support of the cousins to the epidemic area and their loyalty to the emperor, the old minister is willing to contribute 50,000 taels, no, 100,000 taels of silver to provide food, clothing, shelter and transportation to the people in the epidemic area. ”

Emperor Tianheng is very satisfied, what can a bad old man like Hong Guogong who is afraid of death help when he goes in? If you don't know it, you will rely on your status to ask for special treatment and add chaos to the court.

One hundred thousand taels is much more useful than Hong Guogong's old life.

Emperor Tianheng said lightly: "Hong Guogong cares about the court and the people, and I am very pleased. Come and send Hong Guogong to the household department. ”

Finally able to get out of the palace, Hong Guo almost cried with joy, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him: "Thank the emperor for Longen, Weichen will send someone to the mansion to get the silver." ”

After seeing Hong Guogong's operation of spending money to buy peace, the ministers realized that today they must choose between giving up their wealth and sacrificing their lives.

Of course, it's your own life that matters, you can earn it again when the money is gone, and who will spend the money when you have no money?

Therefore, several ministers have stood up and expressed their willingness to be loyal to the country and contribute money to help the people in the epidemic area.

Emperor Tianheng smiled happily, but when it was the turn of Marquis Huaiyuan to pay the money, Emperor Tianheng didn't speak for a long time.

Huaiyuanhou beat the drum in his heart, what's going on? The previous ministers and emperors all agreed happily, why didn't the emperor speak when it was his turn?

Tang Shi rolled his eyes: [This Huaiyuanhou is really a grande, he opened a casino and made so much silver, but he only paid 50,000 taels, it was really picky. 】

Huaiyuanhou suddenly realized that the emperor thought he was too little.

He hurriedly changed his words: "No, the emperor, Weichen is willing to give 100,000 taels ......"

There was still no sound above his head, and he kept adding weights, until he gritted his teeth and shouted out 500,000 taels of silver, only to hear Emperor Tianheng speak indifferently: "Marquis Huaiyuan is very pleased with the loyalty of the imperial court. ”

With the experience of Huaiyuanhou, the ministers behind him didn't dare to play tricks, and honestly reported a number that made their flesh hurt.

When the ministers "ransomed", the treasury received millions of taels of silver at once. People sit in the ya, the money from the sky Guan Chao smiled with joy, and quickly put the money into the account, more money will have money to buy medicine, buy food, buy winter clothes and send to the people in the epidemic area, there is food, drink and clothing, even if they are locked up, the people will not resist, there will be no □□ in the epidemic area, and the plague can be quelled as soon as possible.

But the ministers who were bleeding profusely before the goal was achieved were not in such a good mood.

Huaiyuanhou and others were very unwilling after taking the silver to redeem them, and turned their heads and went to the Wanshou Palace to find the Queen Mother to cry, how the emperor insisted on going his own way today, completely disobeyed their persuasion, and almost threw them to the epidemic area, etc., a group of old guys cried in tears, and finally implored the Queen Mother to call the shots for them.

After Tang Shi listened to Guagua's live broadcast, he was speechless: [A group of guys with two faces and three knives, they have a really slippery play in front of them and a set on the back, why do they think the Queen Mother will help them? ] 】

Guaguayu said quietly: [Marquis Huaiyuan sent thirty percent of the dry shares to the Fu family, and Fu Guogong can share seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver every year, most of which are filial to the Queen Mother, do you say that the Queen Mother will help them? 】

Tang Shi didn't understand: [No, the Queen Mother is the most noble woman in the world, is she still short of money? 】

Guagua: [Who would be afraid of having a lot of money? Moreover, the queen mother used to compete for favor and eradicate opponents, and it was also necessary to win over ministers. 】

It makes sense, so Huaiyuanhou is still an investor in the Fu family, the father of the gold owner, the Fu family can get to this day, Huaiyuanhou Mansion is indispensable, no wonder Huaiyuanhou will run to find the queen mother at this time.

[But this time is different from the past, and there is a contradiction between her own son and the minister, and the Queen Mother has no reason not to help her son but to help outsiders. 】

Guagua: [The Queen Mother has already agreed to make decisions for them. 】

Tang poetry:!!!

[No, is the emperor born to the Queen Mother? 】

Guaguagua said quietly: [Host, big melon, you are really right this time, the emperor is really not born to the Queen Mother. 】
