Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Chapter 499: Not to bet on the conscience of the emperor

The household income earns 300,000 more per month, which makes Emperor Wen De feel very happy.

Simply go to Weiyang Palace for dinner with Queen Pei at noon.

Liu Yi and his wife were there.

"Are you not doing errands?" Emperor Wen De asked Liu Yi with a straight face, posing as a strict father.

Liu Yi leaned forward and said, "I would like to tell the emperor that my son and servants have finished their errands before entering the palace to give their mothers peace."

"The fourth child has always distinguished between public and private, and never missed any mistakes." Empress Pei said next to him.

Emperor Wen De hummed, "Since you have invited Ann, let's get out of here."

Liu Yi was very heartbroken.

Queen Pei said hurriedly: "It's noon, it's better to stay and eat together."

"casual."

Emperor Wen De is not unkind.

Queen Pei hurriedly ordered people to set up a meal.

During the meal, I heard only a little noise from the collision of the tableware and chopsticks, and there was no other movement.

After lunch, Emperor Wen De planned to take a break, and when he was in a good mood, he asked Liu Yi to talk to him.

"Have you heard about the business tax."

Liu Yi smiled with joy, "Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father, the household department has added another tax source, but the big problem has been solved."

Emperor Wende was in a good mood, smiled heartily, and said: "Well, increasing the tax source is a great joy. What makes me most happy is that the tourist tax is not heavy for small traders and hawkers, and it will not become a big burden for hawkers.

Not only can it be convenient for the hawkers, and there is no need to worry about becoming a burden to the hawkers, but it can also add a part of the income to the household department. This is a good thing, haha... Gaiminger, I would like to ask who came up with this tourist tax. "

Liu Yi hurriedly said, "My son knows a little bit about this matter."

"Oh?" Emperor Wen De looked at Liu Yi, "Let's listen."

Liu Yi deliberately said: "Recently, two adults from the Huhu Department and Shaofu have frequent contacts with their sister-in-law. The son heard that the Huhu Department has a business tax plan written by the sister-in-law. This tourism tax is not unexpected. , It is very likely that my sister-in-law figured it out."

Emperor Wen De looked up and looked at Chang En: "Do you know this?"

Chang En bowed and said, "The old slave has heard a little bit, but he hasn't had time to verify."

Emperor Wende waved his hand, "Send Hubu Shangshu to Xingqing Palace to wait, I have something to ask him."

Chang En bowed his head.

Liu Yi looked like he wanted to say something but stopped, "Father, my son also heard some bad rumors."

"What rumors?"

Liu Yi opened his mouth, looking very embarrassed, "Actually, the sons and ministers shouldn't talk about the right and wrong of people, especially the right and wrong about the elder brother and sister-in-law. It's just about the affairs of the court, and the children dare not hide it."

"Say it!"

Liu Yi respectfully said: "Yes! It's like this. Now many people know that the Ministry of Households suddenly levied tourist business tax because the sister-in-law was agitating behind them.

Therefore, someone speaks extremely unpleasantly, saying that the dignified household department is controlled by the woman's hands. A woman who is involved in the government affairs of the household department today, will she be involved in military affairs tomorrow? Some people say that the older sister's move was all instigated by the older brother. Say big brother..."

"Say what? Just say it." Emperor Wen De's face has become gloomy.

Liu Yi looked nervous and uneasy. "Some people say that the eldest brother was impatient as soon as he became a prince, and he was carrying his father and intervening in the six government affairs. When he has power in his hands for a day, is it necessary to do that big rebellious thing?

I can't believe this, my eldest brother is definitely not that kind of person. The children did not dare to hide from his father. The son urged his father to send Jin Wuwei to investigate the matter carefully, and return the elder brother and sister-in-law to be innocent. The people behind the rumors must be arrested and severely punished. "

Emperor Wen De's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, "Surely someone said that?"

Liu Yizhan was trembling, "Someone in the yamen is already talking about this, saying that the eldest brother is very ambitious, and he sent his sister-in-law to fight for power, even if it is a plot.

It is also said that Master Zhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, must have accepted a bribe from his sister-in-law, before he strongly advocated the levy of tourism business tax. He also said that the sister-in-law took the money from the Shaofu Bank for her own benefit.

In short, it is really disgusting to say everything. If it is not contained, I am afraid that Yushi will soon move to impeach the eldest brother and sister-in-law. "

Emperor Wende snorted coldly, "I don't know that the various yamen in the capital are so lively in private, just like the three aunts and six wives in the market, all day long."

"What the emperor said is. The yamen style is indeed a little loose."

Emperor Wen De seemed to have no rest mind, "Okay, you go back and work as a errand. I also want to go back and continue to be busy."

After that, Emperor Wen De got up and left Weiyang Palace with someone.

Empress Pei sent Emperor Wen De out of the palace gate, turned her head and glared at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked innocent.

Empress Pei sullenly, "Are those rumors true?"

Liu Yi said calmly: "Someone is indeed talking about this."

"Then you shouldn't pick this up at this time."

"Mother and queen, it is rare for the son to see the father and the emperor. It is related to the reputation of the elder brother and sister-in-law, can the son conceal it from reporting it? Is it rare to report it until the court has been criticized?"

Liu Yi was aggrieved.

Queen Pei frowned and said, "Even if you think about your eldest brother, you shouldn't let this matter."

"The son is worried about his elder brother and sister-in-law, so he couldn't help but say it."

Queen Pei stared suspiciously at Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked open and selfless.

Empress Pei frowned, she indeed doubted Liu Yi's intention.

She was worried that Liu Yi had deliberately filed a complaint to add blockage to His Majesty.

But Liu Yi was so open, she suppressed her suspicion again, "No matter, you go out of the palace to work on errands. If you have such a thing in the future, ask others to tell your majesty, don’t make your own way. Don’t forget your father’s reminder. As for you, your father doesn’t want to see your brothers cannibalize each other."

"The mother and the queen misunderstood. The son is wholeheartedly thinking about the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and will never harm brothers. But now that I think about it, the son is really reckless. I am afraid that the eldest brother and sister-in-law will misunderstand my intentions. Hey, it is difficult to do both. I hope the eldest brother can be more generous. , Don’t care about my ill-consideration."

"Your eldest brother, if he is dissatisfied with you, this palace will explain it for you."

"Thank you, empress."

"Okay, do things safely in the future, don't act impulsively all day like a hairy boy."

"Son remembers the mother's teachings."

Liu Yi left with Xiao Qin'er.

Empress Pei looked worried.

Weiyang Palace Young Supervisor Wenzhong Wen Gonggong, waited on the side of Queen Pei.

"Is the mother worried?"

Queen Pei nodded, "The oldest and fourth children are all children of this palace. This palace does not want their two brothers to fight with each other in the same way, but in the end they will make others cheaper."

Wen Zhong deliberated, "Why don't you invite both your Highnesses to Weiyang Palace another day, and the empress will be straightforward, and talk to the two of the pros and cons. If the two Highnesses help each other, you won't be able to come to other princes. Chance."

Queen Pei asked another question: "Do you think the fourth child will convince the boss? Will he be willing to run for the boss?"

"This?"

Wen Zhong also hesitated.

In the past when he was in Prince Ning's Mansion, he served by Pei's side. Therefore, he has an understanding of the tempers of several young men in the palace.

Several princes changed their bodies and became princes, their tempers were naturally the same as they used to be. It is impossible for them to change their tempers just because they became princes.

With the temper of the Fourth His Highness Liu Yi, I am afraid that he is not willing to be behind his Highness Liu Zhao, and even less willing to make wedding gowns for His Highness.

He thought for a while, and said, "Although it is not easy, we have to give it a try. If the two Highnesses fight, it is because the loved ones hurt the enemy quickly and benefit others."

"That's the reason. But we still have to wait for this matter. After a while, our palace will summon the two brothers again."

Empress Pei looked worried, she was really afraid that the two sons would fight and make others cheaper.

...

Emperor Wen De summoned Hu Bu Shang Shu, and later the Shao Fu Jia Ling.

The three monarchs and officials closed the door and spoke for a long time.

On the second day, Emperor Wen De quietly left the palace. Except for the confidant and the two adults, no one knows where it went.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Wen De always had a smile on his face, as if he had encountered a happy event.

As Liu Yi said, the impeachment of Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu was soon on the court.

It is totally unreasonable to talk about Liu Zhao's wolf ambition, and to say that a woman from Gu Jiu stretched her hand too long to reach the household.

Of course Hubu Shangshu was not spared either.

Half of the impeachment memorials were impeachment of Hubu Shangshu. Said that he took a bribe from Gu Jiu.

The old **** of Hubu Shangshu was there, so he was not in a hurry.

As a senior official in the ministry, who has never been impeached.

Senior officials who have not been impeached are not qualified senior officials.

Life history is incomplete.

Master Zhao is so calm.

If you impeach you, the old man is as steady as a green pine.

For the impeachment memorials, Emperor Wen De stayed in the middle.

He accumulated too much, so he simply asked Chang En to carry a basket and a basket to burn it.

What a waste of paper.

Emperor Wen De snorted coldly.

"Is it easy for the Ministry of Household to save some money? Don't these memorials need money? It's all wasted."

Chang En's mouth twitched, he had long been used to Emperor Wen De's temper. But sometimes it still gets irritated.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household has an extra tourist tax, which is more generous than before."

Emperor Wen De was dissatisfied, "How much can it be? When will the Ministry of Households increase the tax revenue of 3 million taels a month, then talk to me about lenient."

After a pause, Emperor Wende said: "The first emperor had to find the elder wife to find a way to repair the three halls. In order to increase income, why can't the household department find the elder wife to find a way? It is ridiculous!"

Chang En grinned and said, "Your Majesty calmed down. Those censors naturally didn't have the courage to oppose the decision of Emperor Mang Xian, but they had the courage to impeach the Ministry of Households. It was just that the persimmons were softened."

Emperor Wen De nodded repeatedly, "These censors are all bullying and fearing hardship. When they ask for money, they are never soft. The Ministry of Households has finally increased the income by hundreds of thousands of taels. In just a few days, they have been used up. Those are. Money, I haven't had time to take a look."

"The taxation of traveling merchants will come up next month. Why don't your Majesty go to the treasury of the household department?"

"What do you look at? Do you see a rat running in an empty warehouse?"

Emperor Wen De looked unhappy.

The treasury has no money, and the emperor has to take money from the Shaofu for everything.

The young mansion is equivalent to the emperor's private treasury. Who is willing to use the public money to use the private treasury?

But the treasury was empty.

Every time he opened the private treasury of Shaofu to take money, the stingy Wende was bleeding from his heart.

He has only been emperor for two to three months. But he has deeply realized the feeling of Emperor Xian holding the purse.

I don't have money, I don't speak hard.

Even if you are the emperor, it seems that you are rich in the world, but you don't have any money in your hands and you don't speak hard.

If there is something to be done, the courtier will return as soon as he has no money.

It's so angry!

"Fortunately, the first emperor originally assigned the salt and iron taxes to the Shaofu. Otherwise, I would be a pauper emperor, and would have to be taken by courtiers everywhere. It would be difficult to do something."

Chang En said: "The Shaofu Banks are well managed and the income is higher than a year. Old slaves have heard that Shaofu will open 20 new banks in each state capital this year."

Emperor Wen De was happy, "This is a good thing. The Shaofu Banks are open all over the world, which can benefit the people and increase the income of the Shaofu, which is not bad. The Shaofu family orders, otherwise, they are very capable in financial management."

The young man's order, praised by the emperor, will be mixed.

Fortunately, Gu Jiu kept his promise. As soon as the one-year period came, he took the banknotes and paid back the first one million taels borrowed last year with the principal and profits.

The worry is that Yushi's impeachment is fierce, and I don't know if it will affect Gu Jiu's Nanchengmenwai project.

Shaofu Jialing only hopes that the project will not stop work, and quickly repair and sell the house, and pay all subsequent debts.

Holding the tea cup, Gu Jiu chuckled softly, "I didn't panic, what did the ancestor panic?"

Xiaofu Jialing waved his hand, "The old man can’t compare with you. If something happens, you don’t want to repair the house and go back to your husband and son. If something goes wrong here, not only will you lose your office, but you will also be afraid of the lives of your family. Will be filled in."

Gu Jiu said softly: "The ancestors have been worried, and the mere impeachment has not implicated you. Why is your old man so nervous? Master Shangshu didn't panic. Why are you panicking."

"The old man is worried about the impeachment of Yushi, which will affect those projects outside the Nancheng Gate. The latter two payments, the old man is counting on you to pay them back on time."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "My ancestors can rest assured, as long as the money borrowed from your Shaofu Bank is returned, it will not make it difficult for you to do it. Some time ago, the firm under my name pulled a few carts from the south to the capital. I I deliberately selected the first-class dry goods and sent them to the old ancestor’s mansion. You have a taste. If it is good, I will bring it to you next time."

"You have a heart. In these troubled autumns, you have the heart to give gifts."

Gu Jiu laughed, "This is not the first time I have been impeached, and it won't be the last. I've long been used to it. I helped the household department think about a tax source. I was frank and unselfish. What am I afraid of? Yu Shi said that I stretched my hands too long, and also said that my Royal Highness was wolfish.

Well, I really want wolf ambition, why should I help the Ministry of Households increase revenue and reduce expenditure. You can sit back and watch the Ministry of Households continue to be pauper and continue to owe the salary to the Beijing officials. When the accumulation of debts is increasing and the trouble is too much, my Highness will turn the tide, wouldn't it be better to buy people's hearts?

Now that good things have been done, people's hearts have been confiscated. Could this kind of loss-making business be done by the ambitious man? Those censors all gave birth to pig heads. Is this madam as stupid as they are? "

The young man's brows twitched, "A person who can be an official historian is naturally not stupid."

Gu Jiu smiled, "It's not stupid, it's just a bunch of **** sticks. It makes the court smelly."

After hearing this, the young man's family Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Don't say this outside, otherwise you will be impeached again."

"I am not afraid of them."

Gu Jiu has no worries about more debts, and no itchy lice.

"Don't be careless, be careful to affect the project outside the South City Gate."

Gu Jiu stared at the Order of the Young Mansion, his eyes sparkling, "Your Majesty has already seen the cement road, right?"

Shaofu Jialing turned his head, "How does the old man know this."

Humph, I want to trick this lady again.

Gu Jiu would not be fooled.

"Did Your Majesty say anything? Do you agree to build the road?"

"Rather than asking the old man about this, it is better to ask your majesty directly into the palace."

Gu Jiu shook his head, "That won't work. My Royal Highness entered the palace specially to ask about this. That is to say that there is no distinction between public and private, and it seems too selfish, which will arouse your majesty's disgust.

The reason why I asked two adults to build momentum for me was because I didn't want to involve my Royal Highness. I will find a way to solve my problem, so I can't ask him to interfere. "

King Ning is no longer King Ning, but Emperor Wende.

There is only one word difference between the father and the father, but the differences are vast.

In the past, Liu Zhao could freely fight for Gu Jiu in front of King Ning, but now Liu Zhao cannot continue to fight for her advantage in front of Emperor Wende.

Gu Jiu knows what's in it, and Liu Zhao knows it.

So the two people reached an agreement on this matter without much effort.

Liu Zhao was an official.

It is a private matter for Gu Jiu to open a firm to do business.

Public and private matters must not be confused.

A sense of proportion is very important.

Many ministers who contributed to meritorious service were later decapitated by the emperor. Many of them were disgusted by the emperor because they lacked the sense of being a courtier, and then all the dust returned to the dust.

As the prince, Liu Zhao proclaimed himself a minister in front of Emperor Wende. He is a minister first, then a child.

Since you are a minister, you have to have the consciousness and sense of being a minister.

Gu Jiu smiled at Shaofu Jialing, but she didn't say something.

"My lady never dared to gamble on the emperor's conscience."
