After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Chapter 66
Regent House.

Qing Dai walked up to the Prince Regent and said: "My lord, I have found Liu Yuning's whereabouts, but she is protected by Su Liu..."

Xiao Ting sneered and said: "Forget it, there is no need to kill a mere woman, Su Jian has become a useless person, Liu Yuning is of little use to us, do you have any arrangements in the palace?"

Qing Dai said: "Yes, that puppet little emperor has also helped us a lot by letting Concubine Qian Xian be used by us."

Xiao Tingdao: "After all, it is in the palace, you must be careful, don't let them get caught."

Qingdai smiled and said: "Isn't your lord still worried about my work?"

Xiao Ting said coldly: "You have failed several times in a row! Didn't you swear before that Mrs. Su would definitely die?"

Qing Dai lowered her head and said: "Although Mrs. Su is fine, the Su family also ruined a son, didn't they?
My lord, didn't the little emperor say a few days ago that he would pay compensation to the dead soldiers?

You should urge the little emperor to give us silver, isn't he trying to show his kindness?
It happened that if the little emperor couldn't get the silver taels, he would become a joke of the world.

I have asked Concubine Qian Xian to bribe the imperial censor and sue Su Jingyan for extravagance and waste. The reputation of the empress will definitely be very bad, and the prince can also take this opportunity to win people's hearts. "

Xiao Ting listened to Qing Dai's words, feeling a little proud in his heart!
Su Jingyan will feel how wrong her choice is tomorrow!

……

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Su Jingyan was awakened by a nightmare. In the dream, the little emperor was wearing an armor covered in blood, and slowly fell to the ground, blood red all over the sky...

When Su Jingyan woke up and saw Xiao Yi who was still sleeping peacefully beside her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She remembered the lottery that was drawn at Hu Wei's birthday banquet that day. The lottery she drew was the lucky lottery and the double phoenix lottery, while the little emperor's lottery was the big ominous lottery...

The double phoenix lottery has come true, what about the big murderous lottery?

Su Jingyan was in a panic!
After Xiao Yi woke up, seeing Su Jingyan looking at him worriedly, he leaned forward and kissed Su Jingyan's lips: "Are you having nightmares again?"

Su Jingyan leaned into Xiao Yi's arms and said, "I dreamed that you were wearing armor and covered in blood."

Xiao Yi hugged Su Jingyan in his arms and said, "Isn't this good? Dreams are always the opposite."

"No, I dreamed that I became your queen, and I really became your queen."

Su Jingyan pursed her lips and said, "So the dream is not necessarily the opposite. You have to promise me that you will never go to the battlefield in person."

Xiao Yi smiled softly and said, "It turns out that not only I dreamed of Ah Yan before the wedding, but Ah Yan also dreamed of me!"

Seeing Xiao Yi's playful smile, Su Jingyan said, "I didn't have your shameless dream."

Xiao Yi recalled that dream, glanced at Su Jingyan's belly, and sighed softly, "Now I'd rather have shameless dreams again than not be able to eat."

Seeing Xiao Yi's eyes, Su Jingyan said, "Get up quickly, stop thinking about it."

Xiao Yi ordered the maid to prepare cold water for a bath.

Su Jingyan didn't understand, so she said, "Bath in cold water? Even though it's summer, it's extremely harmful to the body."

Xiao Yi reached out and pushed Su Jingyan's hand under the quilt, "Ah Yan, if I don't bathe in cold water, it will hurt my body!"

Su Jingyan felt that her hand was very hot, but she didn't withdraw it immediately. Seeing that the little emperor was enduring the pain, she said to Xiao Yi's ear with red ears: "I've seen a fire-proof map that doesn't hurt the body." way."

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yi hurriedly washed up and went to the morning court.

In the early court, Xiao Yi looked relaxed, even looking at Xiao Ting, he lost a lot of surprise.

Xiao Ting stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you asked me to compile the list of sacrificed generals a few days ago. I have given it to you for three days. I don't know when the pension of 100 taels per person promised by your majesty will be released?"

Hubu Shangshu opened his eyes wide and said, "Every, 100 taels per person?"

Even if you sell him, you won't be able to get out so much money in a short while. It's really difficult for him to be a minister.

Hubu Shangshu knelt on the ground and cried hard: "Your Majesty, the Hubu is really out of a tael of silver. You still want to amnesty the world to exempt the agricultural tax. This monthly tax can't make up for the deficit of the national treasury. Another 5 million For two silvers, the imperial court can only drink the northwest wind!"

Qi Yushi came out and said: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach the empress for her extravagance and extravagance like before.

Now the national treasury is in short supply, but the balm used by the empress to smear her face costs nearly a hundred taels of silver a jar, and she also purchases it in a big way and distributes it to the concubines... This cost far exceeds the regulations in the palace. "

Xiao Yi heard the words and said, "The empress's balm of 80 taels of silver won't work?"

Qi Yushi said: "If it was before, it would not be impossible. Now that the national treasury is short of money, the empress spends a thousand taels of silver a day, far exceeding the regulations in the palace. Isn't it too much..."

Xiao Yi said coldly: "The amount of silver taels used by the queen was also from the queen's own private treasury, and the treasury silver taels were never used. Why didn't Qi Yushi impeach the queen's arrogance and find out the origin of the ointment?

It is difficult for Qi Yushi to impeach at will without verification. It is really difficult to be a supervisory censor. From today onwards, he will be removed from the official position of censor, and he will no longer be a speech officer! "

Qi Yushi did not expect that his impeachment of the queen would arouse His Majesty's anger, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Xiao Ting watched Xiao Yi's confusion with cold eyes. Qi Yushi is a veteran minister for many years, and he can be regarded as a loyal speaker to Xiao Yi. He is really just a child.

Xiao Ting cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the news of the consolation money has been spread. The family members of those sacrificed soldiers are all waiting for the imperial court's pension. If the imperial court can't get these silver taels, wouldn't it be a joke?"

The Secretary of the Household Department trembled and said: "I have a suggestion, why not give these sacrificed soldiers' families two taels of silver every month, divided into five years, so that the pressure on the national treasury can be relieved."

Xiao Ting said, "It seems that the imperial court is very stingy! Your Majesty, I thought that you just came to power, and the king's words should be worth a word, and you should give all the silver taels to those sacrificed soldiers."

Hubu Shangshu looked at Xiao Ting with eyes full of anger and said: "Prince Regent, these taels of silver will not be available in the treasury for a while!"

Xiao Tingdao: "This king only knows that those soldiers died for the country. If they know that even His Majesty's personal pension cannot be given to their families, I'm afraid it will make them feel bad!"

The Minister of the Household Department said: "It's not that they don't give it. The common people can live well with two taels of silver a month. If those who have land are self-sufficient, they can live very well with two taels of silver a year!"

However, Xiao Ting said: "If this is the case, how will we recruit soldiers in the future? The queen in the palace spends a thousand taels of silver a day to buy perfume, but the soldiers who sacrificed even have to pay their pensions every month. How can there be people's hearts? What will happen in the future? recruiting?"

Xiao Ting arrogantly looked at the puppet's joke on the dragon chair, he was young and his tone was loud, but now he can't get off the stage, right?
Even if the Su family has a solid background, and the ancestral house has sold all the business shops, it may be possible to get together 5 million taels of silver, but it will not be so easy if the Su family is sold!

The Minister of the Household Department was sweating profusely and said: "Your Majesty, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The treasury is really out of money..."

"Who said the treasury is out of money?" Su Jingyan walked into the hall wearing the empress's clothes and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine did not disgrace her mission and collected 500 taels of silver. There are a total of 500,000 taels of gold here, worthy of a sacrificial soldier pension"

Behind Su Jingyan, a group of six men came in carrying the box, and a hundred groups of guards came in carrying the gold box, sweating on their foreheads.

The boxes and cages are piled up so that the hall is shining with gold.

It was the first time for everyone present to see 500,000 taels of gold in one place, and they sighed.

Xiao Ting's face turned livid when he saw so much gold, he didn't expect the little emperor to be able to collect 5 million and two giant silvers!
