Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Liu Yao's sudden attack made Qin Fengye's mouth and eyes distorted with anger.

However, he couldn't refute Liu Yao's words.

At this point, he could only endure his anger and be insulted by a yellow-haired boy.

This was a shame he had rarely encountered in his life.

The anger that was raging in his stomach quickly showed on his face.

Not only did he blow his beard and stare, his face turned red with anger.

"Little Nine."

Emperor Yuan Zhen's angry voice came from inside.

Liu Yao cupped his hands and spoke respectfully: "Father, my son happened to be passing by and saw Grand Master Qin intending to kill Shen Shangshu."

"My son was afraid that Taishi Qin's behavior would be maliciously speculated and undermine the majesty of my father, so he quickly stopped him and ordered people to send Shangshu Shen back to Shangshu Mansion."

"My son, I only care about my father, so my voice was a bit loud just now, and I asked my father to punish me."

His attitude changed so quickly that he no longer had the stern look he had just now in front of Qin Fengye.

Such a performance made Qin Fengye look at him deeply.

Inside, Emperor Yuan Zhen's voice came: "Xiaojiu did nothing wrong, why should I punish you?"

Liu Yao bowed deeply and his attitude could not be described as disrespectful: "My father understands the great righteousness and is an example for my son to learn from. My father is busy with everything, so I will not disturb my father. I will retire."

After saying that, Liu Yao bowed and took a few steps back, then left Chengming Hall neatly.

It was as if he was really just passing by and happened to stop Qin Fengye's behavior.

Rather than coming for Jiangbei's disaster relief funds.

Such behavior made Emperor Yuan Zhen, who originally wanted to express his anger, find nothing to reason about.

Qin Fengye looked at Liu Yao and became more and more alert.

He walked into the Chengming Hall and knelt down in front of Emperor Yuan Zhen:

"Your Majesty, I saw that Shen Zian was really messing around and was afraid that he would hurt Your Majesty, so I dealt with it in a more impatient way."

"His Majesty the Ninth Highness is right to scold me. It was the unfair treatment of the veteran minister just now, which almost trapped His Majesty in an unjust situation. Please punish me!"

After saying that, Qin Fengye knelt on the ground and wanted to knock his head into the carpet.

There was so much mess all over the floor that no servant dared to clean it up.

Emperor Yuan Zhen walked slowly to the imperial case, lifted up his clothes and sat down, following those important notes.

The prince gave a wink to the chamberlain serving in the Chengming Hall, and several people quietly began to clean up.

They were quick with their hands and feet and quickly cleaned up the things on the ground.

And those memorials were also handed into the hands of the prince.

Eunuch Wang glanced at them and found that they were all about the disaster in Jiangbei.

So he stepped aside holding the memorial.

Emperor Yuan Zhen looked at Qin Fengye with cold eyes: "Master Qin, it's hard for you to understand the righteousness so well that you don't complain at all about Xiao Jiu's harsh treatment of you." Qin Fengye quickly expressed his loyalty: "Your Majesty is the Supreme Lord of the Nine-Five and the Lord of the World. Your Highness is His Majesty’s heir, and the old ministers should respect him.”

"Not to mention that I was verbally scolded by His Highness the Ninth Prince because of my fault. Even if His Highness the Ninth Prince punished me, I would never complain!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen smiled half-heartedly: "You mean, my favorite ministers can be punished at will by a prince?"

Qin Fengye immediately said: "That's not what I meant. What I want to express is that His Majesty is respected by thousands of people. I dare not disrespect His Highness Ninth Prince."

Emperor Yuan Zhen snorted coldly: "What you said shows your profound righteousness. But don't say these words again. Xiaojiu is my son. I will not allow any remarks that are not beneficial to him. From your out of his mouth."

Qin Fengye was trembling: "I am scared. I have no intention of targeting His Highness Ninth Highness, nor did I say anything detrimental to His Highness Ninth Highness."

Emperor Yuan Zhen's voice suddenly became stern: "You don't have to play tricks in front of me. If it weren't for the sake of kicking Shen Zian out, I would have cut you off if you had such ulterior motives."

Qin Fengye was frightened: "Old minister, you deserve to die!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen obviously didn't want to pursue the matter, so he changed the subject: "Tell me what you think about the disaster relief fund."

Qin Fengye spoke cautiously: "After all, it's Shen Zian and the others who deserve to die. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the finances. Even if the war expenses are large, it won't be so empty."

"Aren't the various taxes every year enough to fill the void? They don't know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, so they waste their money and cause people to annoy Your Majesty wherever little things happen!"

"Why can't they understand His Majesty's hard work? If His Majesty can handle everything personally, then why do they have to support their household? Give them so much salary and silver, it's all in vain!"

After saying this, Emperor Yuanzhen Longyan was delighted: "You are the only one who speaks well. If you hadn't done something inappropriate recently, how could I not trust you?"

Qin Fengye seized the opportunity and quickly said: "It's all the old minister's fault. The old minister is willing to pay any price to make up for his mistakes."

Emperor Yuan Zhen's expression showed deep impatience: "Shen Zian has been quite safe in the past. Even if he had a good relationship with Bai Weiyong, I would never do anything to him!"

“But now, I don’t know if it’s because of my advanced age, but I’m doing things more and more without any sense of proportion. I don’t distinguish between priorities and priorities.”

"How many people are there in Jiangbei? Even if we can't survive this disaster, the damage caused to Dongling will only be a drop in the bucket."

At this point, Emperor Yuan Zhen became angry:
"Shen Zian actually wanted to use the money left in the treasury. I wonder what he was thinking? If he gave this money to the people in Jiangbei, what would the soldiers on the border do?"

"It's autumn now, and the mountains in northern Xinjiang are already covered with white snow. Is it possible that we can still starve them and freeze them? Then who will guard the border for me?"

Qin Fengye immediately agreed: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. The people in Jiangbei are just old, weak, sick and disabled. They don't have much energy to work in the fields. These people are simply wasting food."

"Even if they really died due to the disaster, they were still saving money. Those old and weak people can neither farm nor serve the country. It is their honor to save materials from their mouths and give them to the border troops."

These words can be regarded as stepping into the heart of Emperor Yuan Zhen with every word.

Emperor Yuanzhen was very worried when he heard this.

He couldn't help but sigh: "If all the princes in the court were as considerate as Qin Aiqing and could share my worries, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

Qin Fengye held up his hands: "Your Majesty means..."

Emperor Yuan Zhen was extremely indifferent: "The money in the treasury cannot be touched no matter what. Whenever Yuan Xun pays the money, the disaster relief money will be shipped there."

"If they can survive until that time, it means they are lucky; if they can't wait, it means they are unlucky. They can only blame God, not me."

After a pause, Emperor Yuan Zhen continued: "As for Shen Zian, in my opinion, he is old and dim. His words and deeds are incompetent in front of me, as if he is demented and stupid."

"I am not someone who is inconsiderate of my subject. Since he has already had a problem, let him rest at home. Come and deliver the message..." (End of Chapter)
