Empress work daily

Chapter 120
The treasure that had been hidden in the mountain behind the Great Mercy Temple for more than seventy years finally came to light. When the boxes of gold, silver and jewels shone with dazzling brilliance, they almost blinded Ji Qiang's bright eyes. Smart almond eyes.

She is rich!

The treasures were transported back to the palace in three batches, all of which entered Ji Qiang's private treasury.

Tang Chongjian thought that His Majesty's move was very, very unreasonable, so he broke through layers of "obstacles" and rushed all the way to the Hall of Yangyuan, trying to reason with his Majesty.

Ji Qiang had expected him to come, so Tang Chongjian was able to travel unimpeded under the martial law of the whole palace.

"Your Majesty, you know the purpose of the minister's visit. I don't want to say much, so you can watch it."

The implication is that this huge amount of gold and silver must be distributed to the national treasury more or less, and cannot all go into her private treasury.

"I already know what you mean, but I can't share anything with you."

Tang Chongjian: "..."

Your Majesty, is it really good for you to be so direct?

"Your Majesty, I'm not greedy. I don't want any jewelry or gold. I just ask you to fill the treasury with a few million taels of silver."

Ji Qiang has never seen such a submissive face of an iron rooster. In the past, she was the one who lowered her posture, but now, it's the other way around.

"Sorry, Tang Qing, I can't give you a dime."

Tang Chongjian: "..."

The title of "Iron Rooster" is the rhythm of changing people!

"Since the money is placed in my private treasury, it is private wealth. Even if it is missed, as long as I don't let go, no one will dare to touch it. If it is put in the national treasury, it will be different. If there is money in the treasury, everyone wants to spend two dollars." indivual."

"No, Your Majesty, you don't know others, don't you know Chen? The title of Chen Iron Rooster is not for nothing."

Tang Chongjian patted his chest and assured Ji Qiang that he looked like a loyal dog guarding the family and wealth, and he would dare to bite anyone who came.

Those expectant little eyes and unswerving thoughts made people feel too embarrassed to refuse, so Ji Qiang gritted his teeth and offered him a fortune.

"I will return the 50 taels of silver that helped the people open up wasteland after the closure of the Western Territory."

Tang Chongjian: "..."

He doesn't deserve to be this iron cock!
He is ashamed of his famous name!
"If you don't want it, then leave it to me for now..."

"I want it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron!"

After thanking him, Tang Chongjian bent down and bowed his head, and reluctantly left Yangyuan Hall with small steps.

He hadn't stepped into the boundary of the six yamen, and someone leaned on the wall and yelled "Master Tang is back!" After a while, the gates of the six yamen were opened at the same time, and there were ministers, servants, principals, and Yuanwailang. ...Everyone who could be named ran out of the door one after another, like a bird out of a cage, or like a wild horse that had run free, encircling Tang Chongjian in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Tang is back!"

"Master Tang is back!"

"Mr. Tang, you are back!"

"..."

Everyone had flattering, even obsequious smiles on their faces, and the old man's scalp was numb.

This one by one, face!

"En." Tang Chongjian nodded slightly with a serious face, straightening his back.

"Hey, Mr. Tang, how much money did His Majesty give?" A head of the Ministry of Rites asked with a smile.

Before Tang Chongjian could speak, the principal had already been reprimanded by Shangshu Liang Yanqing, "Go, you can ask this."

After finishing speaking, he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, and then asked Tang Chongjian his thousand-year-old problems, "Master Tang, the roof of the Qin Tianjian should be repaired. Last year, there were only six leaks in the rooms, and this year it has expanded to one Ten rooms, if things go on like this, if there is a thunderstorm, the colleagues of the Qin Tianjian will have to work in the rain, and there will also be the incomplete musical instruments of the Lijian, and the cracked wall of the Wanbang Pavilion. The above things that need to be repaired cannot be delayed. Hey hey hey, I said Master Meng, why are you pushing me?"

Meng Zijin was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy after all, how could he act in such a disrespectful manner, he was also squeezed by others and lost his balance, so he accidentally bumped into Liang Yanqing.

Just as he was about to explain and apologize, he heard several chiefs of the Ministry of Rites say one after another: "Master Meng, no matter how urgent you are, you can't be in such a hurry."

"That's right, it was our adults who mentioned it first."

"Master Meng, it's better to wait for a while."

"No..." Mencius Jin had just uttered two words, and a group of old Hanlin under him came out to help.

"How did you know that our Grand Scholar pushed your lord with your eyes? It was just that you lost your balance and accidentally bumped into lord Liang. It's worth waiting for you to go online and break it."

"That's right, what you said first, what's the relationship between whether you say it first or not first?"

"You Qin Tianjian were originally there to look at the stars, and the roof is leaking, so you don't have to go to the house to look at the stars."

"Hahaha……"

The crowd burst into laughter, and then they said everything, which made Tang Chongjian arguing.Liang Yanqing and Meng Zijin, who were always polite, looked at each other, quite helpless, there was no way, there were too many people talking, and they couldn't shut all of these people's mouths.

Besides, these problems that have accumulated for a long time have forced them to be miserable enough, and everyone has accumulated a lot of resentment, and they can no longer understand that they are the top.

Taking advantage of this gap, under the cover of Jiang Yousi, Tang Chongjian quietly got out of the crowd, straightened up to catch his breath, when someone shouted, "Master Tang is gone!"

That shout made Tang Chongjian tremble with fright, his internal organs trembled.

In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded again in a circle. In order to prevent him from escaping, this circle was much smaller than before.

Such an encounter, coupled with the buzzing and noisy voices, Tang Chongjian was also angry.

"Why am I running!"

"All line up at the back, the crowded old man can hardly breathe!"

"Yes, His Majesty gave a sum of money, not much."

After speaking, Tang Chongjian raised his five fingers expressionlessly.

"Ah, five...million taels!" The admiring person originally wanted to say 5000 million taels, but his tongue got stuck at the edge of his mouth, so he temporarily changed it to five hundred.

Not to mention that it is impossible to have 5000 million taels of treasure, even if there is, it is impossible for His Majesty to spit out all of them.

Although 500 million taels is not much, it is still the mainstay of the tax for a year. Oh, this year's life will be much better, and the summer and winter allowances owed last year will also be settled, haha!
"What good things are you thinking about!" Tang Chongjian almost scolded the man, "50! If there is one more penny, the old man will go back to the yamen and hang the beam!"

The man was dumbfounded, and the crowd was as quiet as chickens.

"Everyone says the old man is an iron rooster. Now, what kind of real iron rooster is it? Are you counting it?"

"The old man is incompetent and cannot take on the task of begging for money. If you are lacking, you can find your majesty."

Tang Chongjian wanted to leave, but everyone didn't let him go, the old man raised his beard on the spot angrily, "I want to show respect!!"

Only then did a small gap gradually appear in the crowd, and Tang Chongjian walked out angrily.

I have lived most of my life, how can I be so aggrieved.

Back in the yamen, Tang Chongjian moved away from the left and right, and looked helplessly at Jiang Youpan, who was chasing after him. Jiang Youpan had a "treacherous" face, and when he smiled, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more like a fox.

"Brother, there is no one else here, tell the truth, how much did His Majesty give?"

Tang Chongjian: "..."
