Chapter 308
When he said the last sentence, the corner of Xiao Junhao's mouth curved even deeper.
Although there was a smile on Xiao Junhao's face, there was no smile in his eyes, some were full of sinisterness.
With the imperial edict of Emperor Qi Ming, Jiang Peihuan could only watch Yan Kuan being brought into the palace.
As soon as Yan Kuan was taken away, Jiang Peihuan knew that this matter must be turned into a trivial matter.
Sure enough, half an hour later, news came from the palace that Yan Kuan had been punished for [-] years. Apart from that, he had nothing to do.
When the Cao family heard Emperor Qi Ming's disposition, they were all unwilling, but this was Emperor Qi Ming's decision, even if they were dissatisfied, they could not say anything.
speaker.
"His Royal Highness, thank you so much this time."
"Master Yan, you are being polite, this is what this king should do."
Hearing Xiao Junhao's words, Lord Yan didn't say anything, but glanced at Mrs. Yan who was at the side.
After a while, Mrs. Yan put a box by Xiao Junhao's hand.
Afterwards, Lord Yan said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, this is a little thank you from me, and I hope you don't refuse."
Hearing Lord Yan's words, Xiao Junhao opened the box at hand.
Inside was a whole stack of banknotes.
Seeing these banknotes, Xiao Junhao's eyes showed a bit of surprise, but he closed them immediately, and pushed the banknotes in front of Lord Yan, "I can't accept this."
"The Yan family has just paid 10 taels of tribute to the emperor, how can I get any more money from Lord Yan."
"Your Highness, what is for the emperor is for the emperor, and this is for you."
"If you don't accept it, then you are unwilling to accept the Yan family's gratitude."
"This?"
"Kuan'er is the only son of my Yan family. If something happened to him, I would not be able to live. Therefore, the silver is my gratitude to His Highness, and it is nothing."
"So please accept it, Your Highness."
Hearing Master Yan's words, Xiao Junhao's eyes were full of embarrassment.
After a long time, he reached out and took the box, looked at Lord Yan and said. "Since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful."
Jiang Peihuan found out about the Yan family's tribute of 10 taels to Emperor Qiming the next day.
When knowing this, Jiang Peihuan's eyes were completely speechless.
In her previous life, she knew that Emperor Qi Ming was not a wise king, but in this life, Jiang Peihuan felt that Emperor Qi Ming was even more stupid than in her previous life.
It's just that she can't say these words, she can't say them in front of Xiao Nanye, and she can't say them in front of the Jiang family.
But soon, Jiang Peihuan was in no mood to manage the Yan family's affairs.
Because disasters broke out in all parts of Qi.
When it was snowing heavily in Kyoto, Jiang Peihuan kept giving out porridge, so the situation in Kyoto was fine.
But except for Kyoto, the disaster situation in every place is very serious.
Because of the disaster, Jiang Hong and Xiao Nanye left early and returned late every day.
On the third night, Jiang Peihuan and the whole Jiang family went to Jutang.
The faces of the men in the Jiang family are not good-looking.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Peihuan looked at Jiang Hong and asked softly, "Father, did something happen in the court?"
Hearing Jiang Peihuan's voice, Jiang Hong looked a little better.
But he didn't speak, but looked at Xiao Nanye.
"Brother Huang has already ordered people to allocate money to various places, but the money is like water droplets sinking into the sea, without any splash."
"Early today, the emperor, regardless of the minister's objection, asked each family to contribute 5 taels of silver."
Although Xiao Nanye's words were very simple, Jiang Peihuan could already imagine what was going on in the Golden Luan Hall.
Regarding Emperor Qi Ming, Jiang Peihuan didn't want to say a word anymore.
Even a first-rank general like Jiang Hong's annual salary is only 2000 taels.
5 taels of silver is nothing to some wealthy families, but to many ordinary officials, this 5 taels of silver is almost half life.
"How can the emperor do this, it's not forced..."
Mrs. Jiang couldn't help frowning when she heard Xiao Nanye's words.
But concerned about Qi Mingdi's identity, she still didn't say anything in the end.
"Forget it, let's have dinner first. If there is anything else, we can talk about it after dinner."
Hearing Mrs. Jiang's voice, everyone picked up the tableware one after another.
Just when she was about to eat, Nanny Xu walked in.
Looking at Old Mrs. Jiang on the main seat, Madam Xu said with panicked eyes, "Old Madam, there are people in the palace, and they say that General Xuan and the prince have entered the palace. By the way, there is also the third master."
For Jiang Hong and Xiao Nanye entering the palace, everyone didn't feel anything.
But when they heard that Jiang Ren was also called, everyone showed doubts and worries in their eyes.
"Mommy, who is the person in the palace who came to announce the decree?"
"It's Manager Wang."
Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan walked directly outside.
Seeing this, Xiao Nanye nodded to the old lady and followed.
Wang Kun was sitting in the Jiang family's living room, and when he saw Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye appearing, he smiled and saluted, "This old slave has seen the prince and princess."
"Director Wang, I don't know if the emperor called the prince to go there late at night, is it?"
Hearing Jiang Peihuan's words, the smile on Wang Kun's face remained unchanged, but he lowered his voice and said, "The emperor is anxious about the disaster area. His Highness King Qing went to the palace to meet the emperor and talked about the Liu family."
After saying this, Wang Kun kept silent.
On the other hand, Jiang Peihuan nodded to Wang Kun, and then said softly, "Thank you, Eunuch."
"Princess is welcome."
A moment later, Jiang Hong, Brother Jiang Ren, and Xiao Nanye entered the palace together.
When the three of them walked into the Qianqing Hall, Emperor Qi Ming was talking to Xiao Junhao.
Seeing the three people coming in, Emperor Qi Ming said directly, "Get up."
"Jiang Aiqing, I called you here today because of the disaster."
"Jiang Ren, I heard that your wife is the daughter of the Liu family?"
After saying a few words, Emperor Qi Ming looked directly at Jiang Ren.
When he came, Jiang Ren had probably guessed what Emperor Qi Ming wanted, and he wanted money from the Liu family.
But although Liu Ya is married to him, he cannot represent the Jiang family, so after hearing what Emperor Qi Ming said, Jiang Ren nodded, "Yes."
After answering, Jiang Ren stopped speaking.
Seeing Jiang Ren's attitude, Emperor Qi Ming frowned.
At this time, Xiao Junhao laughed softly, "Master Jiang, the Liu family is an imperial merchant and the number one richest merchant in Qi. Now that the country is in crisis, shouldn't the Liu family also contribute?"
"The Liu family is a citizen of Qi State, so naturally they should do their part. King Qing is the son of the emperor's brother, so he should do his best."
"As far as I know, there are quite a few treasures in Prince Qing's Mansion. I don't know if King Qing gave out the [-], but what else can he show? Why not donate the entire Prince Qing's Mansion."
Before Jiang Ren could speak, Xiao Nanye spoke softly.
Although Xiao Nanye's voice was very soft, those words were like a slap on Xiao Junhao's face.
"Uncle Huang was joking, is it possible that Uncle Huang can still give up the entire Chengwang Mansion?"
