Is the prince infertile?The lady was so happy!

Chapter 977 hit a nail

Murong Qing patted his head, and said in a low voice, "Before your grandmother left last night, she said your name over and over again."

Ci'er couldn't control it any longer, and wept bitterly.

When Lu Qinghan heard the news, he realized that he had misunderstood Yingning.

It turned out that she was anxious to get the prince back because she wanted to see the princess of Yannan County for the last time.

In the end, I still didn't see it, leaving a lifetime of regrets in vain.

Feeling guilty, Lu Qinghan immediately sent someone to the paddock to report back to the little emperor.

When the little emperor heard that his aunt had passed away, he felt uneasy and didn't have the mind to play any more. He hurriedly ended the hunting ahead of schedule and hurried back to the capital.

He first came to the Prince's Mansion of Yannan County to express his condolences.

"Sister, don't be too sad." He moved timidly in front of Yingning.

Ying Ning wore filial piety, knelt and sat on the mourning hall, and said: "Your Majesty is now a body of ten thousand gold, you should go back to the palace."

Obvious alienation and indifference.

Gu Qizhen has never seen his sister treat him like this, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He squatted in front of her and whispered: "Sister, I really didn't mean it. If I knew that my aunt was so sick, I would take the initiative to let Ci'er come back to accompany her. Auntie's side."

"You really didn't know your aunt was sick?"

"I know, but I didn't know it was so powerful. If you say no, it will be gone..." Gu Qizhen's voice dropped.

How could he not know.

My aunt has always been in poor health.

After giving birth to Sister Yingning 20 years ago, Sister Yingning was put in the palace to be raised because of her poor health.

Yang's lingering illness has been bedridden for so many years, and the family has gradually gotten used to it.

But Tang Qing's death dealt a heavy blow to her and made her body worse.

After all, she couldn't survive this cold winter.

At first, although the little emperor felt regretful and felt sorry for his aunt and Ci'er, he was completely unaware that his decision would change his life in the near future.

In October, snow has begun to fall in the north, and the battle has become difficult.

Food and cotton clothes are needed, and the court must find a way to make money.

The little emperor couldn't do anything about it, so he had to turn to the cabinet for help.

After discussing with the cabinet scholars, they asked the household department to take out 30 taels of silver as military pay for the war in the north.

But the household department refused.

It's not that the Ministry of Household Affairs is reluctant to take money, but that it really has no money.

The disaster relief in the south just used 50 taels of silver, and seeing the end of the year, the salaries of many officials in the court have been in arrears for two or three months.

Most officials rely on their salaries to fill the stomachs of the whole family, and they will never be able to celebrate the New Year, and they will also make people hungry.

The Ministry of Household Affairs intends to leave 30 taels of silver to distribute salaries to officials.

But what should we do to save supplies from the war in the north?
The two sides came to a stalemate.

The atmosphere of discontent in the court grew stronger.

Lu Qinghan thought of a way, instead of using the money from the Ministry of Finance, the imperial court directly confiscated grain and grass from the Zhejiang Sea and Jiangnan, and shipped it to the north.

However, the governors of Zhejiang Hai and Jiangnan ignored him at all.

In a word, there is no food and no supplies.

Although Zhejiang, Haijiang and Jiangnan are rich and prosperous, taxes are also heavy.Every spring and summer, there are a lot of taxes that should be paid to the imperial court, and now people are required to provide food and supplies, so there is no way to collect wool in one place!
Lu Qinghan hit a snag, so angry and helpless.

The little emperor didn't understand, so he asked humbly: "Teacher, there is really no food in Zhehai?"

"If there is no food in Zhehai and Jiangnan, there will be no place in the world that has food!" Lu Qinghan frowned, "You are clearly the governor of Zhejiang Hai, Hu Xianzhong, who is deliberately evading and refusing to bring out food!"
