Chapter 55

A crowd gathered in the meeting hall.Lin Jiangcheng explained his origin with Namu De. "After I rescued him, he took the wound medicine I gave him and persuaded the seven tribes. He said that he wanted to make peace with us. He hoped that the court would set up a border market. He said that when the Qiang people came to winter, the pastures withered , had no food or drink, so they had to come out to rob the Han people. If the imperial court set up a border market and allowed the Qiang people to exchange cattle and sheep for food and cloth in winter, the Qiang people would not have to disturb the border. They also don’t want to fight year after year.” Lin Jiangcheng said: “ This Namude also said that the Qiang people admired the culture of the Central Plains, and he hoped that the court would sell them medicine, especially wound medicine. If the court agreed, he would write a letter, promising not to violate the border for 20 years. He said that after 20 years, I am afraid that They are no longer patriarchs, so they can’t make promises casually. But the Qiang people are also willing to make peace. As long as the court treats them well, they are also willing to keep their own place.”

After Zhuang Jinpeng listened, he pondered for a moment, and everyone was talking about it.Zhuang Jinpeng said: "This matter is indeed of great importance, neither you nor I can decide on our own. I plan to write to the court and let the emperor decide. It just so happens that you also got the ebony sandalwood. You might as well go back together and meet the emperor to explain the reason."

Lin Jiangcheng nodded: "Okay, we can set off immediately."

The capital, Yongle Palace.Prince Lin Jinzhong was furious at the Yangyuan Hall: "How did you manage this family? You can't even get [-] silver? By the way, didn't you just say that you want to give a dowry gift of [-] silver to the Beihou Mansion? Don't worry about it. , give me the silver first."

The princess was trembling with anger, her hands and feet were cold, and she was dizzy.When Madam Zheng saw that it was not good, she hurried forward to support her: "Princess, Concubine." She called out and took out a small porcelain bottle: "Concubine, take a moment."

The princess took the medicine and slowly sat on the chair, feeling ashamed.She said with tears streaming down her face: "Madam Zheng, take out all the account books from the past few years and let the prince see what we have now!"

Nanny Zheng went into the inner room, took out a few account books, and handed them to Lin Jinzhong.She also shed tears: "My lord, look, the palace originally had 50 acres of fertile land, but now there are only more than 33 acres left. There were originally 300 shops, but now there are only ten shops left. If you have nothing to do, ask The money is [-] to [-] yuan per mouth. There are more than [-] people in the palace, who need food and clothing, and the princess has been selling dowry since the year before last."

Lin Jinzhong looked at the account book, but didn't speak for a while.

Mother Zheng said again: "In the past two years, thanks to Miss Zhuang, she has given us money four times. The first two times were [-] yuan, and the last two times were [-] yuan. Not only that, she also gave us the princess's dowry They have all been redeemed. My lord, we are really at the end of our ropes, if you are still like this, the princess will really have no way to live."

Lin Jinzhong sighed: "You go out first and guard the door."

Madam Zheng hurried out, took all the people out of the yard, and guarded the gate by herself.

Lin Jinzhong sat opposite the princess: "I know, I'm sorry for you." Lin Jinzhong said.

The princess didn't expect that he would say such words, and she was stunned for a moment.

Lin Jinzhong said: "Not only you, I'm afraid everyone thinks that I took the money and gave it to the mother and son." He sighed: "It's not, the money was all given to the palace."

He also said: "The palace and the court have always been inseparable. Since the eldest sister entered the palace, it is doomed that our palace and her will be prosperous and both will be prosperous."
