The cute apprentice of the national teacher is charming and wild

Chapter 54 054: Killing two birds with one stone

"I lost again," Emperor Hongyuan sighed, and pinched the center of his eyebrows weakly, "I have never won a game against the national teacher."

In terms of chess skills, I am afraid that it is difficult to find a person who can match Yun Ranyue's chess match in this world.

Yun Ranyue said lightly: "The chess game is like a battlefield. If you want to make a move to win, you have to think about how to arrange your troops. The emperor and his ministers are just losing in strategy."

Emperor Hongyuan nodded, agreeing with his words, he smiled: "Those who are good at chess plan wisely, this sentence seems to be most suitable for the national teacher."

Five years ago, Dajin and Beiyan fought. Without Yun Ranyue's advice, Dajin would have been captured by Beiyan long ago, and Beiyan would never surrender.

"The emperor's absurd praise." Yun Ranyue was neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "The emperor asked his ministers to come here in the middle of the night. It should not be as simple as playing a few games of chess."

Tapping the table with his fingertips, Emperor Hongyuan frowned and said, "Why does the national teacher think I asked you to come here?"

Yun Ranyue replied: "The emperor's brows are tightly frowned, and he seems to be troubled by troubles. The only thing that can worry the emperor in the past two days is the theft of tax money."

Emperor Hongyuan sighed: "It seems that the national teacher understands my thoughts best."

He frowned, and his brows were full of impatience: "I have been troubled by this incident for the past two days and can't sleep all night. I thought this incident was just Kang Beihou's dereliction of duty, but I didn't expect my second son to find this again."

Emperor Hongyuan threw the token of the East Palace in front of Yun Ranyue, and looked at the token even more disturbed, "Because of this token, the prince is involved in this matter again, and I am even more in a dilemma."

"Look for the national teacher, I want to hear the national teacher's opinion on this matter."

Yun Ranyue glanced at the token in front of her, her eyes darkened, and said: "I think it doesn't make any sense to continue to investigate this matter, whether it's for Kang Beihou or the crown prince. After all, the tax money is also difficult. Finding."

It's really hard to find, it has already been swallowed up by Bai Qingchen's own treasury, so don't even think about finding it again in this life.

Emperor Hongyuan also knew that the tax money was no longer easy to find, but——

"The Marquis of Kangbei and the crown prince are both involved in this matter. I can't stop holding them accountable just because I can't find the tax money."

This was also what worried Emperor Hongyuan the most. He couldn't find the tax money. Even if he questioned the two of them, it would be of no avail, and they couldn't be released easily.

"I have a way to get the best of both worlds."

"Oh?" Emperor Hongyuan came alive, "Let's hear it?"

Yun Ranyue said slowly: "Since the tax money can't be found, the Marquis of Kangbei is responsible, and the prince is suspected. Why don't the emperor ask the Mei family and the prince to make up for the tax money, which can be regarded as making up for the mistakes."

Yun Ranyue narrowed her eyes, and there was a sly smile in her eyes, very much like his Yaoyao's appearance when she was restless and kindly calculating others.

Emperor Hongyuan's eyebrows moved, and then he suddenly became enlightened and laughed: "The national teacher is not bad because of his wise planning, and he can always help me solve my worries."

Yun Ranyue smiled lightly: "It is my honor to be able to serve the emperor."

Those drooping pupils suppressed the gloomy light, and the slender eyelashes fell into a shadow under the eyes.

The next day.

Kang Beihou Mei Jianfeng was released, and the Mei family heaved a sigh of relief, and the house was full of joy.

But the emperor's holy book made the Mei family unable to laugh again.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Kang Beihou lost his tax money, and he cannot escape the guilt. I am grateful for his past achievements and cannot bear the punishment. I ordered Kang Bei Hou to make up for the lost tax money, so as to make up for his mistakes. I respect this."

The members of the Mei family are like five thunderbolts, and the tax bank is a million taels, how can they make up for it? !

Jing Yuanzhao, who was grounded, also received the same holy book. If the Mei family deserved it, they should make up for the lost tax money.

Then Jing Yuanzhao was really suffering, and it was difficult to tell, just because he lost the five-year token together, and somehow had to share half of the tax money for the Mei family.

This, how can the word "miserable" be used.

Emperor Hongyuan sent someone to check the details of tax and silver. It was about 200 million taels of gold, and the Mei family and the East Palace each paid half of it.

Although the Mei family was depressed, they did not dare to disobey the emperor's order. Moreover, the release of Kangbeihou without incident could be regarded as taking money to eliminate the disaster.

One million taels of gold is not particularly embarrassing for the Mei family.

The two fathers and sons, Kangbeihou and Youxiang, were not upright and honest people. They had been officials in the court for decades, and they were often "greedy."

After collecting enough 100 million taels of gold, Mei Mansion has almost become an empty shell.

The Marquis of Kang Bei and the Prime Minister "greedy" the wealth accumulated for decades, and "vomited" all of it out overnight, and "vomited" it completely.

After this incident, Kang Beihou was unscathed, and the Mei family looked unaffected from the outside, but the internal vitality was seriously damaged.

The Mei family suffered a serious setback, and the East Palace was not much better.

In terms of wealth, Jing Yuanzhao is really not as rich as the Mei family. After all, the wealth of the Mei family is accumulated by "gluttony" over time.

Jing Yuanzhao had no choice but to scrape together 100 taels of gold.

Two days later.

Jing Yuanzhao and the Mei family handed over the gold they had collected to the treasury, and the theft of tax money was settled.

The New Year's Eve is here, and in two days' time, it will be the Yuan Day Festival.

Holding a post in his hand, Bai Qingchen wandered to Lanyue Palace.

Seeing Yun Ranyue, he smiled like a fox, tapped the post in his hand lightly, and sighed with a smile: "Tsk tsk tsk, kill two birds with one stone, it's wonderful to use."

Yun Ranyue knew that he was talking about the tax and money, so she ignored him, and glanced at the post in his hand lazily with her light eyes, on which the three characters "Lanyue Palace" were very conspicuous.

It was an invitation to the annual banquet.

There is a custom in the Great Jin Dynasty. On the day of the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, the palace will hold a banquet, and the family members of the ministers and ministers of the court will be invited to participate, commonly known as "annual banquet."

Every year for the annual banquet, invitations are sent to Lanyue Palace, but Yunranyue has never attended.

He raised his eyebrows and said: "I didn't expect that the Prime Minister of a country would be reduced to running errands to deliver posts."

Bai Qingchen was taken aback, looked down at the post in his hand, and then understood his inner meaning, and glared at Yun Ranyue: "What are you running errands to deliver the post? On the way here, I happened to meet the father-in-law who came to Lanyue Palace to deliver the post. I kindly brought it here for him."

Throwing the post on the table in front of Yun Ranyue, Bai Qingchen lay comfortably on the chair, "Anyway, I delivered the post, it's up to you whether you go to the New Year's banquet or not."

As if thinking of something, Bai Qingchen chuckled leisurely, "Just now I saw someone from the palace sending a post from Duke Rongguo's mansion out of the palace." He dragged his chin to look at Yun Ranyue, with a teasing smile in his eyes: "You Say, will Zhenxiang meet Xiao Zhuohua at the annual banquet?"

Yun Ranyue raised her eyes to look at him, and there was frost condensing in her thin and cool eyes.

Bai Qingchen shuddered, and immediately restrained the teasing in his eyes, "It's alright, alright, don't joke, just be serious, will you go to the annual banquet?"
