MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 93 leave book
The atmosphere of the grand meeting in Fengtian Hall today was not very good. Emperor Hui on the throne did not say a word at this time, and only looked at the courtiers in the hall with a sullen face.
There is a saying, harvest in autumn and hide in winter. According to this season in previous years, it should have been the most leisurely time of the year, and after counting the days, Emperor Hui should also have gone to the western suburbs for winter hunting.
Although Emperor Hui has now regained the imperial power, he is trapped on this throne, and there are all kinds of difficulties in the court and the opposition. It is not as comfortable as when the prince was in charge of the country.
Emperor Hui frowned, listening to the chatter of the courtiers below, but not a word could be heard, and Emperor Hui became more and more upset.
"Your Majesty, the autumn grain has not been put into storage for a long time, and the people's hearts are unstable, and I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to the society."
"Your Majesty, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, all the prefectures are still waiting to allocate food for disaster relief due to the severe flooding."
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince had previously decided to postpone the collection of grain for counties and counties with severe disasters, whether to ban them and start to increase the collection of grain grains again. The minister proposed whether to give more tax. less than the predetermined amount."
"Sir Yan, this move is probably inappropriate. There are already many refugees in various states. If we continue to impose violent levies and show no consideration for the victims, then the harm of refugees will probably cause more serious problems."
"Your Majesty, the canal in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be transported to Shangjing in time due to the blockage of the canal. We should immediately allocate money and grain to the Ministry of Industry, step up water conservancy repairs and restore water transportation."
"Just waiting for the canal to open to navigation is not the way to go. Can you consider transporting the imperial grain to Shangjing by sea first?"
"The risk of shipping is extremely high, and the loss is also greater. Is it not appropriate?"
"Mr. Li, for today's plan, there is only shipping of imperial grains. Other than that, there is nothing else to send. Shipping can at least solve the urgent need. Even if more than half of the loss is lost, it is better than not even a grain of rice can be transported to the capital."
The second prince Feng Xian said to the throne at this time:
"Imperial Father, the three major members of the shipping industry, headed by the Ji family. My son is the same as Ji's family, and Ji Qiniang has a little friendship. I will leave the shipping matter to my son."
Emperor Hui's tense expression finally loosened.
"Okay, I'll leave it to the second prince to do it. If you need money, just go to the Ministry of Household to allocate it."
------
The minister of households, Du Xian, had already sweated on his back. The piles and pieces mentioned by these colleagues, whether it was disaster relief, water conservancy projects, or shipping, did not require a lot of money.
But now, in the treasury, where is there so much money.
Du Xian swallowed his saliva, but decided to explain it on the spot, otherwise, after the court, these colleagues and the second prince couldn't find funds from the Ministry of Household, so he had to blame himself for wearing small shoes for them.
"Your Majesty." Seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, who had not spoken, said, all the courtiers looked at Du Xian.
"Your Majesty, these years, the wars have been fought every year, and the treasury has been tightened. I'm afraid I can't get so much money."
As soon as Du Xian said this, the court was extremely shocked, and even Emperor Hui on the throne showed a bit of surprise on his face.
Some courtiers couldn't help but say:
"Master Du, it's been a few years since Daxia stopped fighting with the Turks and Xirong, but I haven't heard the minister of households say that there is an empty state treasury and lack of money and food. Master Du, is it not a mistake?"
This is really not good for Du Xian. It means that Du Xian is not as good as the previous minister of household, An Binghuai.
Du Xian was a little angry. When he took office as Minister of Household An Binghuai, he was greedy for ink, and he had taken over a mess. Now he has to face such a disaster and be ridiculed.
Du Xian immediately spoke in the direction of the throne:
"Please, Your Majesty, make a clear inspection. The household's receipt and payment of money and grain are all recorded on the record, and the minister will never speak falsely."
"This minister has checked the files for the past few years. During the years when His Royal Highness was in charge of the country, whenever the Ministry of Household needs a lot of money, the private treasury of the Prince's Palace will advance the funds to make up the gap. After the tax is collected in the year, it will be paid back. Prince's Mansion. Your Majesty can send someone to check."
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Household really can't come up with the money. Can you ask your colleagues and wealthy businessmen in Daxia to donate money to help Daxia get through this difficult time?"
"Your Majesty, in fact, there is another place where grain is stored."
"Previously, His Highness the Crown Prince strictly checked the grain merchants, and set a rule that if the grain number exceeds the quota, the grain should be bought back at the price at the beginning of the year."
"But the Ministry of Household couldn't allocate the money. The money to buy grain was taken from His Royal Highness's private treasury, and those grains are still in the granary under the name of the Prince's Mansion."
After Du Xian finished speaking, he stepped aside and frequently received rather unfriendly glances from his colleagues.
All the courtiers were whispering when they heard the words, and no one wanted to be forced to collect donations. Du Xian really offended everyone with one sentence.
Why doesn't Du Xian know this, but now as the minister of households, he is on fire, and there is no more possibility for him to choose.
The left minister Wang Xian suddenly looked at Qin Wenzheng,
"Prince Qin, the eldest daughter of your palace's eldest daughter, Zhaoren County Master, owns Yu Qingfeng, the first bank in Daxia, but Yu Qingfeng is rumored to be as rich as half of Daxia's treasury, but Prime Minister Qin wants to persuade Zhaoren County Master. Be generous."
Qin Wen is a bit dark on the front. He knows that Qin Yan has a bad relationship with Qin Xiangfu. Can he persuade Qin Yan?
The second prince, Feng Xian, was extremely displeased when Du Xian mentioned the prince just now. As long as the prince can handle the government well, he can't Feng Xian?
And listening to the left minister Wang Xian talking about Yu Qingfeng, Feng Xian felt that it was a good time.
Yu Qingfeng...Qin Yan...
"Father, my son is willing to help Mr. Du raise money."
The second prince, Feng Xian, felt that based on his relationship with Qin Yan, it would not be a problem to ask Qin Yan to donate money. And now that the prince is out of power, Qin Yan's best choice can only be himself. Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, he can have an intersection with Qin Yan.
But it is not so easy for Emperor Hui to take out money from their pockets for the virtues of even these subjects.
"Okay, let's just let the second prince and Du Shangshu handle this matter."
"I also take the lead. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will reduce the expenditure of the harem starting today."
"Li Fuquan, send someone to inform the queen to return to the palace and ask the queen to organize the queen to donate money."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Fuquan took the order.
The courtiers have some thoughts, Queen?
Your Majesty is this? To pave the way for the prince?
------
The courtiers scattered with different thoughts.
Qin Wenzheng had just left the palace gate, and was about to go to the six yamen, and a family member from one mansion came over.
"Master, it's not good, the old lady went to the main mansion of Zhaoren County in Xishan aggressively."
Wang Xian, who was a few steps behind Qin Wenzheng, also heard this and stepped forward:
"Mr. Qin, you should hurry up and deal with your personal affairs. If this offends the county master Zhaoren and makes him unhappy, and you can't raise donations, I'm afraid your majesty will blame it."
Qin Wen was a little embarrassed on the front, why was his opponent Wang Xian always seeing his embarrassed side.
"Master Wang, I'll be back later."
Qin Wenzheng dropped these words, got in the car, and went out of the city.
------
Xishan, the main residence of Zhaoren County.
Qin Yan walked from the flower hall by the lotus pond, and was about to turn into the main road when Ji Nanfeng strode forward.
"master."
Qin Yan stopped and looked at Ji Nanfeng.
"Master, Mrs. Qin from the Prime Minister's Mansion is visiting. Now outside the mansion, it seems that she won't give up until she sees her master."
Qin Yan frowned, Qin Prime Minister's mansion is really coming.
"Qin Xiang, is it that you don't have the ability to handle your own back house?"
"Go see you."
Qin Yan glanced at the piece of Merlin, but turned around and left.
Still waiting for Qin Yan's prince at Baba...
------
Mrs. Qin waited in the carriage for half an hour before she was finally invited into the county master's mansion.
The old lady's face was blue and she was holding her breath. When she got out of the car, she was about to stab Ji Nanfeng, the steward of the county master's mansion in front of her. The old lady was almost out of breath.
Ji Nanfeng looked as usual, and said lightly to the old lady:
"Mrs. Qin Tai's body is not good. At this time, it is not suitable to go out. You should cultivate your body."
"You..." The old lady was sullen in her heart, Qin Yan was outrageous, and neither was her servant.
"Mrs. Qin Tai, please." Ji Nanfeng made a gesture of invitation and walked towards the mansion door first.
The old lady and the servant-wife helped her to go to the county master's mansion, and saw two lines of guards outside the mansion, looking up at the huge golden plaque with the words "Zhaoren county master's mansion" written on it.
Duan is very stylish, even more so than the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion.
After entering the palace, the old lady was even more shocked by what she saw.
The Xishan Palace is magnificent and splendid everywhere, all of which make people sigh.
The old lady was brought into the Luyue Pavilion where Qin Yan entertained guests. Its appearance was solemn, but the interior was gorgeously furnished, and the smell of silver coins was everywhere.
There was a fire in the Moonlight Pavilion, which was much warmer than the outside.
Just to avoid suspicion, Qin Yan received Xie Changyuan in the half-open flower hall, but he was afraid of the cold, and the cold wind in the flower hall also made Qin Yan suffer.
Now that he saw the old lady, Qin Yan changed the guest location to the Luyue Pavilion where the earth dragon was burning, which was indeed a lot more comfortable.
After Mrs. Qin came in, she looked around and was shocked by the exquisite and luxurious furnishings in this room.
This is the mansion of her eldest granddaughter Qin Yan, a huge mansion where she lives alone...
The old lady couldn't help but think.
------
The old lady's mind became more active, and then she saw the woman sitting above. The woman was wearing a moon-white brocade robe and was drinking tea lightly.
Since Qin Yan returned to Beijing, Mrs. Qin saw Qin Yan's deity for the first time. But she recognized her granddaughter at a glance. Qin Yan's appearance was indeed somewhat similar to Shen Shiying.
Mrs. Qin took a deep breath. She was Qin Yan's grandmother, and she had to press her head on her head.
"Qin Yan, that's how you treat your grandmother? Didn't your mother teach you the rules?"
Qin Yan raised her eyes to look at the old lady Qin. Compared with the memory, the old lady was much older, but she was still so unpleasant.
"Show Mrs. Qin a seat." Qin Yan said in a low voice.
The servant came in, gave Qin Yan a place to lay his head, and served a cup of hot tea.
"Mrs. Qin, please." The servant left.
Mrs. Qin was angry, whether Qin Yan really didn't understand or not, as an elder, there was no reason for her granddaughter to sit on the top.
"That's how you treated your grandmother? Where's your upbringing?"
Qin Yan said lazily:
"Mrs. Qin doesn't like to sit and wants to stand? Then please do it yourself."
The old lady was annoyed, but she was indeed a little tired, and she was seated by the servant girl with an ugly face.
------
Mrs. Qin took a sip of tea, thinking about the purpose of her coming, and slowly spoke while pressing the fire:
"Qin Yan, you are the daughter of my Qin family. You can't turn your elbows out. How can you help your mother to give your father and Lishu."
Mrs. Qin asked her servant to hand Qin Yan a letter, and Shen Ying took it. After seeing it, she was shocked and angry.
Above is the word "break book".
Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Yan,
"Shen Shiying committed seven crimes, and there is nothing to do with Heli, only a letter of divorce."
"Since Shen Shiying married into the Qin family and brought back all the dowry that the Qin family gave to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, let's not talk about it. But Shen Shiying's dowry can only be regarded as returning to her husband's family, and there is no reason to return it. ."
Qin Yan knew the shamelessness of the family, and did not intend that they would be able to return it obediently, but their shamelessness was still embarrassing.
The old lady Qin said again:
"Qin Yan, you have also seen that when a woman gets married, the property cannot be controlled by herself."
"Even if your mother Shen Shiying is no longer from the Qin family, we will still recognize you as the blood of the Qin family, but sooner or later you will have to marry. There is also an extra layer of protection.”
"Grandmother thought of a way for you. Ming'er is your maiden's brother. You will transfer this county master's mansion and Yu Qingfeng to Ming'er's name. We are a family, and only the maiden family can be trusted. Grandma eats more salt than you. There is still a long way to go, be obedient, grandmother will not harm you."
Mrs. Qin's remarks made Shen Ying, who was standing beside Qin Yan, speechless.
This person from the Qin Prime Minister's mansion is really shameless!
