turn the clouds

Chapter 50 Yunshan Wine

Gu Feixue originally thought that Qin Zheng, the auxiliary minister, would tell himself that the money taken away by others was much less than what he imagined, so as to appease himself, and then calm down.

But what did he say?
Taking much more than I imagined?
Gu Feixue was momentarily at a loss.

The girl's small head was unable to react for a while.

Qin Zheng continued to process the official documents. While processing, he said to the little emperor who was studying beside the case: "Your Majesty, do you think that at this time, King Li's actions should be pursued?"

The little emperor thought for a while and said, "If so, Uncle, don't worry about it."

Qin Zheng shook his head: "Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated."

"The amount involved is too large, and it is all domestic money."

"If it's money from the national treasury, it's still feasible to hide the matter for King Li and allow him to seek compensation elsewhere."

"But since it's domestic money, it can't be counted like this."

"There is no way to make up for the shortfall in internal funds."

"Then ask him to get the money back!" Gu Feixue shouted immediately.

Qin Zheng didn't even look at Gu Feixue, but only stared at the little emperor: "Your Majesty, it is necessary to investigate."

"But does Your Majesty know what is the most important thing for the court right now?"

"Money is the most important thing of course!" Gu Feixue was dissatisfied: "What is there to ask? Take him down quickly and ask him to pay back the money!"

Qin Zheng finally turned his gaze over to Gu Feixue.

There was an undisguised disgust and disappointment in her eyes: "Princess, don't act like a street shrew."

Gu Feixue gritted her teeth.

"His Majesty."

"There are two most important things in the court right now."

"The first thing is Cui Yizhu's suicide."

"Old man Cui He is too old to die."

"But he didn't die peacefully in his own home, nor did he die in any random place outside, but died in front of the palace gate."

"And it's dead remonstrance."

"With such a status and such a method of death, the imperial court needs to give an explanation for his death."

"This is the charter required by the six conferences."

"Cui He's affairs have not been given an explanation, so his position has to be vacant all the time, otherwise, the courtiers who discussed it will not agree."

"I'm afraid the kings who discuss politics will not let it go."

"So explain, there must be."

"But old man Cui He's remonstrance, is it right or wrong?"

The little emperor shook his head: "I can't tell the difference."

"Actually, there is no need to distinguish." Qin Zheng preached earnestly: "Because the court still needs war."

"In early April, the orders for various weapons have already gone down."

"The imperial court owed the labor on credit. We need to sell the weapons and bring in the people to make up the shortfall."

"This was discussed with the first emperor and courtiers at the beginning of the year, and plans and arrangements were made. Correspondingly, orders were also prepared and soldiers were recruited. It is imperative."

"This matter is related to the credibility of the imperial court and the foundation of the country."

"So the battle must be fought."

"Since there is going to be a fight, it is wrong for old man Cui He to insist on a truce."

"So he has to admonish for his own self-interest."

"So he must have taken the money, and he must have deserved it."

"He had to be wrong."

"The gap in the imperial government must have been taken by him."

"The shortfall over the years must have been made by him making false accounts."

"But..." The little emperor hesitated.

Qin Zheng shook his head: "No but."

"definitely is!"

"It must be."

Qin Zheng looked at the little emperor without any emotion in his eyes: "No matter what, the account of the public should be settled on his head."

"But the account of domestic funds, it can't."

"Not at all."

"So at this juncture."

"The person to be investigated is Cui He."

"That's the first thing."

"The second thing is."

"At this time, the 'King of Li' must not be changed."

"Until we finish the battle and win the battle, there must be no problems in the money."

"Otherwise, the accounts of internal funds may also become the accounts of old man Cui He."

"Because the gap in the internal funds is too big, this amount of money is definitely not a one-off, and it is definitely not something that only a mere King Li can eat."

"If you have less money, you can deal with it in any way, because if you have less money, there will be fewer people who share the money; but if you have more money, that is to say, there will be more people who will take the money."

"The emperor cannot deal with so many people at once."

"You can't deal with too strong people at once."

"Either the emperor doesn't make a move, or if he makes a move, he will knock down the opponent like a thunderbolt. It should be caught and killed."

"So do the accounting when you are not prepared, and do the accounting when you may be fooled by a group of people."

"It's not going to work anyway."

"So now." Qin Zheng looked at Gu Feixue.

"Princess."

"Please remember to keep your mouth shut."

Gu Feixue looked at Qin Zheng angrily, kicked the little emperor hard, and then ran away.

"Miss Huang." The little emperor stood up.

"Sit down!" Qin Zheng scolded: "After all, she is just a girl who is not good enough."

"It's no wonder that the first emperor didn't set her up."

The little emperor moved his lips, and finally sat down.

……

Gu Feixue ran out angrily.

Chu Tianshu followed Xie Ningzi to the bedroom where she usually lived.

Xie Ningzi actually has a palace of her own because she was born noble, and the royal family named her to raise her personally, and treated her like a princess.

She usually lives with Gu Feixue in the Xiangshuang Palace.

It's just that Gu Feixue lives in Tianying Hall, and Xie Ningzi lives in Ice Soul Hall.

Although usually going out, in order to keep a low profile, the two girls do not bring their maids, but when they returned to the palace, Xie Ningzi's six personal maids all gathered together, hugged her, and quickly changed her clothes .

The clothes as a whole looked like skirts, with some classical elements, but from Chu Tianshu's eyes, they looked more like antique clothes with a bit of ancient flavor.

The overall dress is light blue, in the style of a one-piece dress, with a light purple belt, and a string of pink and white bells on the left waist, the size of mung beans, with a crisp sound. Beside the bells is a blue sachet.

On the left waist is a lotus jade ornament carved from jasper.

The hem of the dress was about seven centimeters, revealing the ankles, and on the feet were little moon white boots.

During the walk, because the gait was steady, the bells and jade ornaments did not shake, but the clear and clear sound of the bells appeared and disappeared, which really added some liveliness.

"It's so beautiful." Chu Tianshu praised: "How much does this suit cost?"

Xie Ningzi was very happy to be praised, but when she heard the next question, her face suddenly collapsed.

"Why...you think about money in everything?" She was very puzzled.

Obviously, his eyes are straight, but why is money when he opens his mouth.

This person is really boring.

Chu Tianshu laughed: "Because the only intersection between people like me and this kind of clothes that should be called luxury goods may be money."

"Disappointing." Xie Ningzi nuzzled: "Eat some fruit."

"Miss Gu... about how long will it take her there?"

"I don't know about that." Xie Ningzi shook her head: "She went to see Master Qin, and she might not be reprimanded."

"Qin Fuzheng?"

"correct."

"What kind of person is that?"
