After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Since presenting the paper to the emperor, Shanyangbo Zhao Xitai and Pei Kangle have been waiting for the emperor's award and reception.

After waiting for several days, Zhao Xitai wanted to make another report.

But in the end he held back.A good meal is not afraid of being late, the reason why there is no news from the palace, must be that the emperor is considering how to award the reward.

After all, he only provided one piece of news, and the emperor will send someone to fetch it.And he didn't have exact information on where the things were, so wouldn't it take more time for the person to get them?
If the item is not found, naturally there will be no reward.Only when you find it!

Telling the emperor about Queen Xian's hand like this, although a bit unwilling, but since I can't get it anyway, if I can really get a piece of real wealth in exchange, it is not a loss.

Zhao Xitai finally ushered in the imperial envoy in the palace under such worries.

This imperial envoy in the palace is Little Eunuch Li, Eunuch Liu's apprentice.

Is this finally news from the palace?

Zhao Xitai was overjoyed, he happily welcomed little Eunuch Li into the atrium.

Little Eunuch Li held the imperial decree in his hand, followed by a few palace people, it was a normal procedure for reading the imperial decree.

Zhao Xitai set up the incense table and asked Little Eunuch Li: "Eunuch, the dogs are not in the mansion, do you need to call them back to receive the order?"

Little Eunuch Li laughed: "It doesn't have to be like this, but isn't there a Young Master Kang in the house? He wants to receive the order together!"

Zhao Xitai was not quite sure just now, but now he suddenly understood that it was that matter.

He said, "Eunuch, wait a moment!" He immediately sent someone to call Pei Kangle.

At this moment, the way he looked at Pei Kangle was kind and caring, and it was almost overflowing.

When Pei Kangle saw that it was the father-in-law in the palace, and then at his own grandfather, he immediately understood.

The two knelt down to accept the order.

Little Eunuch Li read with a smile that was not a smile: "The Holy Spirit..."

"Wait, wait!" Zhao Xitai was taken aback and interrupted quickly.

Little Eunuch Li said indifferently: "Uncle Zhao, you are so courageous that you dare to interrupt the Holy Spirit directly?"

Zhao Xitai hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Little Eunuch Li, that's not what I mean, I just want to ask, is it an oral order from the Holy Majesty, not an imperial decree?"

"Isn't oral order okay?" Little Eunuch Li said: "Uncle Zhao still thinks that the emperor's oral edict still needs your consent? You don't agree, so there is no need to announce this oral edict?"

Seeing that Xiao Lizi's expression was not very good and he spoke aggressively, Zhao Xitai thought it was because his gift hadn't been delivered, so he hurriedly took a purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xiao Lizi's hand.

Xiao Lizi didn't accept it at all, but reprimanded: "Uncle Zhao, it seems that the Shanyang uncle's residence has not received the imperial edict for a long time, and they don't even understand the rules!" When he announced, he stuffed something, didn't he see that there was someone behind him?Do you want him to make a mistake?

Zhao Xitai didn't dare to be smart anymore, and brought Pei Kangle to kneel down honestly.

Xiao Lizi continued: "The emperor ordered: Uncle Shanyang, Zhao Xitai, created something out of nothing, and framed a first-class mighty Marquis. His crimes should be confiscated and wiped out. For his first offense, Zhao Xitai and Pei Kangle will commit suicide and apologize. The rest will not be prosecuted!"

"???"

"???"

Zhao Xitai and Pei Kangle, who were eagerly waiting for the reward, were stunned. What do you mean?
Frame?

Suicide?

What's wrong with this?
Zhao Xitai hurriedly said: "Little Eunuch Li, did you make a mistake somewhere?" Even if there is no reward, it shouldn't be for them to judge themselves, right?They didn't make any mistakes, and they deserved credit for offering their treasures!

Xiao Lizi smiled bluntly and said: "Why did you make a mistake? What do you mean, our family can't pass the oracle?"

"No, no, no," Zhao Xitai was very anxious. Did he want the glory and wealth, and he wanted to kill himself? The gap is fine, life is so good, who wants to die?

Pei Kangle recovered after being stunned, and whispered, "Grandpa, didn't you find it?"

Because they couldn't find it, the emperor became furious, so let them commit suicide and apologize?Think they teased the king?
Zhao Xitai was startled, then shook his head.

Looking at Xiao Lizi's expression, he guessed that he probably found it.

Because they were found, the emperor wanted to silence them.It must be so!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xitai felt very unwilling.

He obviously made meritorious service in presenting the treasure, but he didn't want the treasure anymore. Why is the emperor so vicious?

What exactly is that treasure, to the point where the emperor wants to silence him?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xitai suddenly felt hatred and resentment in his heart, he lowered his voice and said: "Then what is the backhand?"

How did Pei Kangle know?His face turned pale with fright.

Xiao Lizi said: "Come on, why don't you send Uncle and this Young Master Kang Le on their way?"

The palace man behind him immediately stepped forward.

Zhao Xitai fell limp to the ground, he regretted it very much.

Ever since he knew that King Xian's henchman was hiding in the mighty Marquis's mansion, he started to plan. It was about to succeed, but Pei Shizhen came back and became a marquis.

In the end, it's just a blank slate.

If he didn't think about the successors, if he didn't think about the glory and wealth, with the ancestral shadow of his Shanyang uncle's mansion, he would have no worries about food and clothing.

If you are not greedy enough, you will lose your life!

Sorry!

On the second day, Chu Chengye went to the fief with his whole family, together with Mu Liao and his subordinates, the huge team of nearly a thousand people seemed a little lonely.

There are also some people who send each other off, but not many.

Jiang Xintong bid farewell to his father and brother, and when he got into the carriage, his eyes were almost swollen from crying.

Chu Chengye supported her and lowered his voice: "Why do you need to do this? It just takes some time to go around! You have a body, so if you cry like this, don't damage your eyes."

He is still looking forward to this child.

Although he can only be born in the feudal land, that is also his direct son, so what does it matter where he was born?
On the fifth day after Chu Chengye left, the case of Marquis Dingyuan was clarified, and the emperor approved Chu Chengye's vassal status, so Chu Xinyuan only went to the end. Although some of the case files involved Chu Chengye, he It is also listed separately and presented to the emperor.

The men of Dingyuan Hou were over 16 years old, and all their families were copied and beheaded. The female relatives and those under 16 years old were full of official slaves.

And the Liu family, who was already murdered, was able to die with Qin Muzhao.

Mrs. Qin couldn't bear the blow, and she died before the execution.

Think about how dignified Marquis Ding Yuan was back then, how glorious the eldest prince Chu Chengye was, now that Mrs. Qin is dead, there is not even a person to collect it.

Concubine Ning Gui in the palace tried her best, cried and begged in front of the emperor, but failed to change the result. Position, moved to the palace.When Chu Chengye returns to Beijing under the next imperial order, if the emperor's kindness is great, she can also go to the vassal land with Chu Chengye and live with her son.

Now the harem is managed by Concubine Zhong, who was promoted to the position of concubine because of giving birth.

The emperor is very satisfied with the current situation.

Chu Chaoyang is young, in order for him to grow up, the eldest prince and the fourth prince supported by the emperor are like fighting in a ring.

Now, it's time to clean up, it's time to deal with it.

Although many officials were demoted or dismissed, or dismissed or deposed, there was never a shortage of officials in the court.

For the imperial examination held every three years, there is a long queue in the official department, and many people are waiting for official positions.

The emperor decided that after the Southern Qi was repelled and the lost territory was regained, Chu Chaoyang was designated as the crown prince.

Now that Chu Jingxian's situation was unknown, he decided to summon someone.

Knowing that the emperor wanted to summon Mu Qingyu, Chu Chaoyang was very puzzled: "Father, Mu Qingyu is only because the father pityed her uncle for his great achievements, so he rewarded her, but she is just a girl, and What qualifications can you see Tianyan?"

The emperor smiled and said: "Yang'er, Princess Sangyu has silver, and it's rare that she is willing to use it to settle the refugees. What I pay is nothing more than a summons. There is a minimum price to achieve the greatest benefit. Why not?" Enjoy it instead of doing it?"

Chu Chaoyang said: "But father, about the matter of Sangyu County Lord, father still has to think twice. Nowadays, there are some rumors among the people that father is unwilling to use the treasury funds to settle the refugees, and actually handed over the matter to Sangyu County Lord, there are some ignorant people who don't have their father in their hearts, and only think about the kindness of Princess Sangyu. My son thinks it's not appropriate!"

The emperor's eyes suddenly darkened a lot, he said: "There are such rumors among the people?"

Chu Chaoyang nodded vigorously, and said, "Father, Princess Sangyu, as a woman, is trying to gain fame and reputation like this. Could it be to build momentum for Pei Shichen?"

"You mean, there is something strange about Pei Shichun?"

"That's not true!" Chu Chaoyang thought about it and said, "Pei Shichen brought Yunjian to vote, but the emperor doesn't know what happened to Yunjian City. If Pei Shichen has a different heart..."

The emperor said: "In Yunjian City, only Xu Tu is the only one. Pei Shichen will take office soon, but his father and Yue's family are both in the capital, so there is nothing to fear. As for Princess Sangyu, she is a woman and is willing to pay Do your best, and you don't have to worry too much."

Chu Chaoyang said: "Father, people from the common people pay for this matter, why must this matter be handed over to Mu Qingyu? My son thinks that Father can choose some people from the imperial merchants in the capital Share it, this way, she won't get a good reputation by herself!"

"Is there a suitable candidate for my son?"

Chu Chaoyang said: "I have been in the capital during this time, and I am very concerned about some information. There is an imperial businessman named Dongfang Moye. He has outstanding abilities and is willing to share the worries of the father. It is better for the father to let him take care of those refugees. Split in half!"

The emperor said: "It's not impossible. How about this, I'll see this person before I talk about it!"

Chu Chaoyang smiled.

If Mu Qingyu was promoted by his father, he would get closer to his father in the future.Then if he promotes Dongfang Moye, Dongfang Moye will be more useful to him in the future.

Under Chu Chaoyang's matchmaking, the emperor quickly summoned Dongfang Moye.

The majestic palace, the long palace walls, Dongfang Moye, who had changed into a black robe, walked forward slowly under the guidance of the palace staff, his face was expressionless, but there was a gloomy look in the depths of his eyes.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and watched him step by step into the hall.

Tall and tall, with steady steps and extraordinary bearing.This was the emperor's first impression of Dongfang Moye.

An imperial merchant whose bearing is not inferior to that of his prince, this Dongfang Moye has something.

Dongfang Moye didn't seem to feel the emperor's scrutiny. After entering the palace, he saluted in a regular manner: "Craftsman Dongfang Moye, I have met my emperor, long live long live long live!"

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Dongfang Moye stood up without speaking.

The emperor said: "Seeing that you are not very young, you have a good-looking talent. You are really a hero born of a boy!"

"The emperor congratulates me! The grassroots are ashamed to be worthy of it!" Dongfang Moye's voice was calm, with a hint of flattery.

The emperor said: "You don't have to be so modest. The Ninth Prince said that you have outstanding abilities, you care about the people, and you want to share the worries of the court. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Caomin can help the imperial court to share the worries, so I wish for it!" Dongfang Moye said, "Although Caomin is a businessman, he dare not resign if he can do what he can!"

The emperor said slowly: "Now that the Southern Qi invaded and Dongxia lost several cities in a row, Mr. Dongfang must have known about it with his sense of businessman! I wonder what Mr. Dongfang thinks?" His deep eyes fell on Dongfang Moye's face It seems that he wants to see the depths of his heart.

Dongfang Moye pondered for a while, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Back to the emperor, the grassroots have indeed heard that the border is a little unstable, and the Southern Qi wolves are ambitious. Fortunately, Dong Xia has elite soldiers and good generals who will definitely be able to drive the Southern Qi villains out of the country. The emperor does not need it." Worried. It’s just that there will be wear and tear in the war, and I’m willing to donate a million taels of silver to supplement the army!”

His eyes were very calm, and his expression was also very calm. He didn't show any fear or uneasiness because of facing the emperor, and he didn't show the slightest contempt.

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Oh, Mr. Dongfang is really generous!"

Dongfang Moye said modestly: "As the Eastern Xia imperial merchants, the Caomin should bear more responsibilities than ordinary merchants. If the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible. The war consumes money, and the Caomin cannot participate in the battlefield. Donate money and goods, a little Watch carefully!"

The emperor was very happy to hear his sincerity, and said: "Mr. Dongfang's righteousness, I'm so relieved! If that's the case, you can directly contact Mr. Shi of the household department!"

"According to the order!"

Chu Chaoyang personally sent Dongfang Moye out.

He sighed and said: "Mr. Dongfang, my prince recommended you to the emperor, and I wanted you to make a lot of achievements. I didn't expect that Mr. Dongfang only offered to donate money and materials, so I gave up the great opportunity to others!"

Dongfang Moye cupped his hands and saluted: "Your Highness Nine, forgive me for being stupid, the emperor summoned you today, isn't it because the treasury is in a hurry?"

"My Mr. Dongfang, can the treasury still be short of this money? Where can it not be moved?" Chu Chaoyang patted him on the shoulder like an enveloping hand, and said, "Nan Qi went down to several cities, and there were many refugees. The lord is smart, he took the opportunity to settle down the refugees, and gained a lot of good reputation among the people. This prince wanted to let Mr. Dongfang also have a share of the pie. But Mr. Dongfang doesn't want it, but this prince is too hasty!"

Dongfang Moye hurriedly said: "It turns out that Your Highness is thinking about this subordinate so much, alas, I really didn't think so much. I'm sorry, Your Highness is still far-sighted, and I am short-sighted!"

"It's not that serious!" Chu Chaoyang said: "Father already knows about you, and he will use you in the future! Don't worry about Mr. Dongfang. There will be many things for the prince and Mr. to cooperate with in the future!" He sighed: "It's such a great opportunity, let Mu Qingyu give it alone!"
