"I know my crime and am willing to be punished!" Gong Yuanhao lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.
"My father and I are not unreasonable people. We believe that things happen for a reason, and you and your son are benevolent and filial, so we will not pursue your father and son's crimes." Before Gong Yuanhao could express his gratitude, Qingyun added, "But I If there is no punishment, in the future everyone will imitate and kill first and then report, wouldn't it be a violation of the ethical principles? King Zhongwu, do you think so?"
Gong Yuanhao said respectfully: "But it's up to the emperor and the ninth princess to punish you!"
"Very good! Spring is about to begin. The people are just waiting for spring plowing and planting, followed by river repairs. The treasury is really..."
Qing Yun stared straight at Gong Yuanhao, who made his fiefdom relatively wealthy. Although the two silver mines belonged to the imperial court, she accidentally learned not long ago that he also concealed another inconspicuous mine. The silver mines are mined privately, which can be said to be unpredictable.
When Gong Yuanhao heard this, his heart suddenly shook inexplicably.
Could it be that the Ninth Princess knew something? But he thought that everything was done perfectly, and there was no way that the Ninth Princess would notice. He probably just wanted to enrich the treasury.
However, the Ninth Princess was too cunning. She actually reached out to ask the courtier for money, but he took the initiative to send it to the door and allowed the Ninth Princess to take the opportunity to blackmail him. What a mistake!
"I would like to donate five hundred thousand taels of silver for spring plowing and river repair!"
"Five hundred thousand taels?!" Everyone's expressions changed.
Not to mention the courtiers, even Prince Rui and others who were not princes had only a salary of 10,000 taels the previous year. After being granted the title of prince, the annual salary was only 20,000 taels. Even if rewards are included, how many years would it take to have 500,000 taels? King Zhongwu He donated it without blinking an eye, what a generous act!
Unexpectedly, Qingyun raised her eyebrows without comment.
Gong Yuanhao gritted his teeth when he saw this: "Eight hundred thousand taels!"
Qingyun remained indifferent.
"One million taels!"
...
"One million two hundred thousand taels!"
...
"One and a half million taels!"
...
Finally, Gong Yuanhao was no longer calm. Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. His already unswerving body was shivering due to kneeling in the cold wind for a long time. However, the Ninth Princess looked clearly dissatisfied, so he became cruel. Cruel Heart: "Two million taels! Ninth Princess, this is my entire property, please accept it happily!"
Seeing Gong Yuanhao being defeated in front of his beloved daughter, Emperor Huiwen felt particularly happy and proud.
No wonder when he learned that the prince had left the capital, his beloved daughter told him not to worry. It turns out that with these two million taels of silver, he would not have to worry about spring plowing and repairing rivers.
Everyone was already in a collective state of confusion!
Two million taels of silver! Ninth Princess, the robbers are not as ruthless as you!
But it is irrefutable. After all, King Zhongwu was at fault in the first place. Just one crime of gross disrespect is enough to kill the whole family. By then, the property will also have to be handed over to the state treasury!
"King Zhongwu donated money so generously for the country and the people, I am so disrespectful!" Qingyun said with a smile, and then looked at Zhang Zishan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "Master Zhang, remember to return the silver to the national treasury in a timely manner, so as not to miss the spring plowing. Plant and repair river channels!”
"I obey the order!" Zhang Zishan knelt down and responded respectfully.
Gong Yuanhao wanted to cry but had no tears.
If it was just two million taels in normal times, he would not take it seriously at all, but now... forget it, just think of it as giving up money to avoid disaster!
"I would like to report to the Ninth Princess. Because the amount is really huge, I would like to ask the Ninth Princess to tolerate me for some time to raise the money. I..."
"It's okay!" Interrupting Gong Yuanhao's unfinished words at the right time, Qingyun said with a smile and concern: "I know that King Zhongwu has always been in poor health, so I can't bear that King Zhongwu is running around and working hard. How about this, Yixiang next to the father's palace The palace is quiet and elegant, perfect for resting. Moreover, when he is free, King Zhongwu can also play chess and drink tea with his father. Fortunately, my father can relax after being busy. I am very grateful. As for the silver, I will protect the country and chase the moon."
"Old minister (subordinate) is here!" Protector Marquis Li Zhengxun and Zhuyue immediately walked to the center of the lower head and stood there.
"The two of you will rush to Jiuyuan County immediately with my imperial edict and the letter from King Zhongwu, and assist the Crown Prince in safely transporting the silver back to the capital. There must be no mistake!"
"According to the order!"
After experiencing the previous series of blows, everyone was no longer in shock.
The move of the Ninth Princess was clearly a disguised form of house arrest for King Zhongwu. It is not difficult to understand. After all, with such a large sum of money, if King Zhongwu returned to his fief and found various excuses to delay, the Ninth Princess would be beyond his reach.
The Ninth Princess is really far-sighted. Don’t offend anyone in the future. Otherwise, the whole family will be executed or the whole family will be ruined!
"In addition, I brought the thousand-year-old snow ginseng that Emperor Chu sent to me and the heart-nourishing and longevity elixir that Mr. Mo personally developed to Mrs. Gong, and said that I wish Mrs. Gong a speedy recovery and take care of yourself. Don't be like this." A noble concubine usually worries so much that she gets injured and catches the epidemic, and then it will be too late to regret."
"Old minister (subordinate) obeys the order!"
Knowing that the Ninth Princess was showing kindness and power at the same time, Gong Yuanhao had to endure it even though he was unwilling to do so, and he had to thank the Ninth Princess for her kindness.
Han Jingwen and Li Zhengxun glanced at each other without revealing anything, and both smiled knowingly when they saw the admiration in each other's eyes.
Qingyun's resourcefulness made Zhang Lianwu look at him with admiration, Mu Qingyun, you are really not simple! He glanced at Sima Chun, who was looking a little excited beside him, and there was a fleeting look of ridicule and contempt in his eyes.
Just because you are a fool who cannot hold up the wall, it is simply wishful thinking to win Mu Qingyun's favor.
The rumors were confirmed, and everyone's expression changed immediately after hearing it.
"Why are you still kneeling, King Zhongwu? Get up and sit down to talk. You are a great contributor to our court." Glancing at Gong Yuanhao, who stood up tremblingly and sat back down with the help of a servant, a hint of secrecy crossed Qingyun's lips. With a faint smile, he glanced at the horrified people.
The Prime Minister's face was calm, without any trace of worry or anxiety. However, after Mrs. Lin's brief panic, there was a hint of gloating in her eyes, which was quite intriguing.
"The imperial concubine is indeed suffering from the epidemic, but I have ordered Mr. Mo and Dr. Xu to do their best to treat it. After the dinner, Mr. Mo will also distribute the prescriptions to everyone. As long as you do a good job in prevention and treatment and restrain your family members, you will naturally not be infected. If anyone dares to take this opportunity to spread rumors and cause trouble, or even stir up trouble, causing panic among the people and turmoil in the government and the public, I will severely punish you! Have you remembered this?"
The clear tone and captivating momentum made everyone tremble with fear. Who would dare to disobey the Ninth Princess's will, unless they think their life is too long!
Mrs. Lin, who was kneeling on the ground with everyone, was secretly happy.
It was not in vain that she begged the old man to take her into the palace, otherwise she would not have heard the good news with her own ears.
Although she was somewhat regretful that she could not kill the bitch with her own hands to avenge her beloved daughter, but since ancient times, people who contracted epidemic diseases were bound to die, and even miracle doctors were helpless. In this way, her beloved daughter could rest in peace under the Nine Springs.
"Prime Minister, don't worry too much. I believe that the concubine has her own destiny and will definitely recover."
Hearing what Qingyun said, everyone realized that the imperial concubine was so seriously ill. Why didn't the prime minister, as a father, show any signs of illness?
Could it be that the relationship between the Prime Minister and the Imperial Concubine...
A voice filled with concern and quietness suddenly broke into his eardrums. The Prime Minister, who didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing everyone's confused eyes, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly knelt down to apologize: "Thank you, Your Majesty and the Ninth Princess for your concern, sir." Only a daughter like the imperial concubine is suddenly ill. The old minister is really worried, so he is rude in front of the court and asks the emperor and the ninth princess to forgive me!" As he spoke, I burst into tears.
"Get up." Qingyun Qingli said with understanding and gentleness on her face, "I know that the prime minister loves my daughter very much, but the imperial concubine is my father's concubine. Naturally, my father and I will not ignore it." Mr. Mo and Dr. Xu have already started researching the prescription, Prime Minister, you can rest assured."
After hearing this, everyone had some speculations in their minds.
Everyone knows that before the Ninth Princess and the hairpin, the relationship between the two of them was as good as mother and daughter because of King Chun. However, after the Ninth Princess and the hairpin, the relationship between the two obviously became a little more subtle. The Ninth Princess even took away the The imperial concubine's power to control the harem was closed to the public, and she repeatedly suppressed the prime minister. She must be dissatisfied with the imperial concubine and the prime minister.
Now that the imperial concubine has contracted the epidemic, the ninth princess not only did not add insult to injury, but also asked the miracle doctor and Dr. Xu to do their best to treat the imperial concubine...
What is going on? The Ninth Princess’s thoughts are really unpredictable!
Suppressing the doubts in his mind, the Prime Minister burst into tears and said, "Old minister, I would like to thank the Emperor and the Ninth Princess for their kindness!"
There was always a gentle warmth on Qingyun's face, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Zhang Lianwu, who was sitting quietly next to Sima Chun, with a hint of demonic light flashing in his eyes.
It has been confirmed that the few courtiers, family members and two imperial doctors were incapable of restraining the chickens. In their panic, it was impossible to accurately poison Zuo Hufa and Yuan Dong with flying mosquito needles, especially when they used the long-lost secret poison of 'rebirth'. drunk'.
Only this Lianwu, according to the information, has been raised in a boudoir. After her mother died, she could just keep her mourning at home, but she insisted on going to Funing Nunnery. Three years later, she was taken back home by Zhang Zishan, where she was loved and treated well. He is also very considerate and considerate in everything he does, and is well received.
Apart from eating fast and chanting Buddha's name every day at Funing'an, she had no contact with the outside world. Everything was normal, but she always felt that those three years were extraordinary.
Two consecutive frightening dinners allowed everyone to see the Ninth Princess's strategizing and wisdom. Some people were happy and some were worried.
At the same time, a black figure avoided the secret guards and sneaked into the prime minister's study quietly. After a search, nothing was found. When the black figure was about to give up and leave, he accidentally touched something and saw the bookshelf behind him slowly moving. , then a secret door was revealed, the black shadow's eyes lit up, and then he ducked in...
