Chapter 31

King Shou has already fabricated charges for Zhuang Yisheng and talked eloquently:

"In the name of opening a mine, he defrauded five million taels from His Majesty, and then used all the money to buy the Wutong faction. ”

"Everyone knows that the Wutong Sect is not worth five million taels, and there can be no mines there. Whether there are any shady transactions in the middle, and whether he and the Wutong faction have anything to do with it in advance, these are all things to be investigated. ”

"Of course, the most important thing is to find out why His Majesty would give him silver. Using mining as an excuse? Heh, why would Your Majesty be fooled by such a childish method. ”

The empress snorted coldly in her heart, going around and around, the focus was still on herself.

Behind the beaded curtain, she spoke: "He didn't cheat it, I gave it to him." ”

"Huh?"

King Shou was stunned, but he didn't expect the empress to take the initiative to jump out. When encountering this kind of thing, shouldn't the empress quickly pick out the relationship with Zhuang Yisheng.

"I told him to go to the mines. ”

King Shou was shocked again, seeing that Her Majesty the Empress meant to carry this matter down.

The relationship between their sister and brother is so deep.

However, Zhuang Yisheng is actually a tool man, and the real purpose of King Shou is still the empress. Since the empress took the initiative to jump out, she took advantage of this matter to cut off her prestige.

"Your Majesty is confused. ”

King Shou suddenly sighed: "Five million taels is actually not much, but this is all the people's fat and people's ointment of the people of Dayan. ”

"With these five million taels, the border soldiers can have one more winter clothes. ”

"With these five million taels, the displaced people will have more to eat. ”

"But His Majesty actually gave the silver to a grass people, so that the soldiers could be frozen, and the victims would starve. ”

"The old man was entrusted by the previous king, Your Majesty did this, how can I face the ancestors of the Great Yan Dynasty. ”

King Shou hid his face with his sleeves and couldn't cry.

"King Shou, take care, your body is important. Someone persuaded: "You are the backbone of Dayan, if you fall, who should support Dayan." ”

"Weichen has the courage to play, Your Majesty should issue an edict to calm the people's hearts. ”

The minister seconded. ”

The minister seconded. ”

The minister also seconded. ”

......

Above the Golden Palace, one after another officials seconded the proposal, and the grass on the wall, which was originally swaying from side to side, saw this scene and hurriedly stood in line.

For a time, two-thirds of the officials supported King Shou and wanted the empress to make her own edict.

The empress behind the beaded curtain did not speak, and King Shou glanced at it quietly.

Even if you sit on the dragon chair, it's nothing to me.

After a long time, a sigh came from behind the bead curtain.

"Have you ever wondered why I'm doing this?"

The empress knocked on the table with her hand:

"The six countries of Xuanzhou, Southern Chu occupies a favorable area, Daxin occupies a harmonious place, Xitu Kendo is the first, Beiliang Iron Riding is unparalleled, Donglu is backed by Wang Yang, and the products are the most abundant, only I Dayan, the national strength is the weakest, and the seven northern counties have not been able to recover so far. ”

"There is Liang in the north of Yan Kingdom, there is Da Tu in the west, and Lu Country in the east, and they are all eyeing our country. One day, when the iron hoof invades, how many soldiers and how many people will die will we die. ”

That's why I gave him a sum of money and asked him to go to Wutong Mountain to open a mine. ”

King Shou said: "But there is no mine in Wutong Mountain, the capital is a hundred miles away, and the imperial court has already surveyed it." ”

The empress shook her head behind the bead curtain, clapped her hands gently, and a female official took out a brocade box and passed it among the civil and military officials.

Everyone was stunned.

"It's really a star stone!"

"It's a rare quality. ”

......

Shouwang was stunned: "Where does this star stone come from?"

"I just dug up from Wutong Mountain last night, and after I got the news, I wanted to share the good news with you as soon as possible, who knows, ......" The empress sighed softly.

"It's really dug up!" Shouwang excitedly said: "It can't be that Your Majesty bought it from the street." ”

"King Shou, you are becoming more and more presumptuous. ”

The empress spoke softly, already with supreme majesty.

King Shou's heart sank, and he hurriedly lowered his head: "The minister is guilty." ”

openly questioning the empress, if it is investigated, it is already a great crime of disrespect. This is different from just now, just now King Shou was paved for a long time before he dared to say that the empress was confused.

Why did he make such a childish mistake today, King Shou wiped the cold sweat on his head, and his heart was already in turmoil.

King Shou knows that the general trend has gone today. However, he was also a little unclear in his heart, why could Wutong Mountain dig out ore?

"How did Your Majesty know that there was a mine in Wutong Mountain?" King Shou couldn't help but ask.

"His Royal Highness King Shou, do you want to know everything about me?"

"I don't dare. ”

King Shou lowered his head, even through the bead curtain, he felt a heavy pressure from the empress's gaze.

"King Shou, I know that you have just experienced the pain of losing your son, and you are still so worried about state affairs, this spirit really touches me. But I'm not a heartless person. The empress said: "Recently, you will first raise your body in the palace, and when your body is well, you will contribute to the court." ”

"This ......" King Shou was stunned, and then lowered his head slowly: "The minister obeys the order." ”

One sentence confined King Shou to his home, and King Shou knew that this was the bitter fruit of failure, and he had to swallow it alone.

"It's a great joy to be able to dig out the Star Mine. Although there is a Xingyao mine in our Nanyan country, the output is too small and the quality is too poor, and a large number of needs have to be purchased from other countries, which is far away and expensive. ”

An official said: "Now that it can be produced near the capital, my country can produce more weapons, equip more masters, and become stronger." ”

The empress faced the civil and military officials: "If you want to strengthen the Yan Kingdom, you must prosper business, and I should be an example for the world, this is just a small experiment." ”

"Your Majesty made a small move, and he added a mine to Nanyan Kingdom, which really made Weichen admire. An official said.

"If Your Majesty makes a few more such moves, my Yan Kingdom will definitely be the number one power in Xuanzhou. ”

"Your Majesty is the country of Yan, which is really the blessing of the people and the blessing of the ministers. ”

......

The empress waved her hand gently: "Since it is an experiment, there is a risk of failure, if it is successful, it will be the blessing of the Yan Kingdom, and if it is defeated, it will be the sin of one person." ”

"If you say I am guilty, I am guilty. ”

"The sin is too much concern for national affairs. ”

"I take the people of Li to heart. ”

"I want to do something for Yan Guo too much. ”

"It's a pity that no one knows my intentions. ”

"Yes, I gave him five million taels, I told him to go to the mines, and everything was arranged by me. ”

The empress has a spirit that although tens of millions of people have been longing for her, she looks lonely and arrogant.

The civil and military officials knelt down one after another and touched their heads to the ground.

"You can't share the worries of Your Majesty, the sins of the ministers. ”

"Calm down, I'm here this morning. "The empress behind the bead curtain said.

The empress slowly got up and left the hall with the support of the female official. She did not leave, and the other officials did not dare to move.

In everyone's hearts, the empress has become unpredictable.

Prime Minister Wen Yuanchen suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister has something I want to ask, just now Your Majesty said that this is just part of the experiment, does it mean that Your Majesty has other arrangements?"

The empress hesitated, and then said softly:

"There should still be. ”
