The strongest peasant girl in Xiuse Jinyuan

Chapter 326 Gu Xizhao Sends Qian Lingjing to Refuse Marriage (3)
After Chongdi's words fell, Hubu Shangshu hurriedly got up, walked to the front of the hall, and respectfully accepted his orders.

Immediately afterwards, the guards in the palace opened all the twenty large wooden boxes. When the Minister of the Household Department saw the boxes of copper coins, he was stunned at first, and then felt his scalp go numb.

This Mr. Gu San is really good at playing tricks on people. With so many copper coins, the people in the household department have to count until what year and month they can count clearly.

Hubu Shangshu thought about this drudgery, turned his head slightly, and stared at Gu Xizhao with resentful eyes.

Gu Xizhao noticed Hubu Shangshu's resentful eyes, as if he had never heard of it, he still stood alone in front of the hall.

Not only the Minister of the Household Department was stunned, but all the guards and all the civil and military officials attending the banquet in the palace were stunned.

The emperor asked the Gu family to contribute money to fill the national treasury, but the third young master Gu actually brought twenty boxes of copper coins into the palace. The Gu family is so courageous that they don't even pay attention to the imperial decree.

Everyone in the hall broke into a cold sweat for the Gu family, except Ling Jing.

The box was opened, and Ling Jing's ancient ink-like eyes were usually forward, and his eyes fell on the copper coins in the box. Seeing the corners of his mouth raised, a few faint smiles appeared on his face.

Although Gu Xizhao is usually cynical, he is absolutely not sloppy when it comes to serious business.

The moment the box was opened, Emperor Chong saw that the box was full of copper coins, and his mood suddenly went up and down. A moment ago, the dragon's heart was happy, but now the dragon's heart has sunk to the bottom of the valley.

He raised a pair of deep eyes, and his two sinister gazes fell on the wooden box, his face became darker and darker, and there was a monstrous anger hidden in his eyes.

Seeing Emperor Chongdi's displeasure, Old Prime Minister Gu secretly sweated in his heart.

Companion to the king is like a tiger. He has been in the court for many years, and he is the most clear about Chongdi's vicious and vicious methods.

It's not that he doesn't believe in his son's ability, but that Emperor Chong's temperament is too unpredictable, and his thoughts are even more difficult to figure out, so he has to think about countermeasures in advance.

If the emperor convicts him, how will he save Zhao'er? At this moment, Old Prime Minister Gu's heart is turning a thousand times, and he has racked his brains to think of a way to deal with it.

The aura emanating from Chongdi was extremely cold and severe, anyone could sense that Chongdi was holding back a monstrous anger at the moment, the atmosphere in Ganlu Hall was condensed to the extreme, all civil and military officials were so frightened that they dared not even take a loud breath .

Everyone in Ganlu Palace is in danger, only Queen Fan is very happy now.

The Gu family has always been at odds with the Fan family. Whether it is in the court or in the business field, the Gu family has always dominated the Fan family. Today, if the emperor punishes Gu Xizhao and the Gu family in a fit of anger, then it will be The rest of the Dou family can compete with the Fan family, and the Dou family and the Fan family do not have too many entanglements, and the two families live in peace. As long as Gu Xizhao dies, the business in the hands of the Gu family will naturally disband. In any case, the Fan family can reap a lot of benefits.

Fan Hou sat on the phoenix chair in a dignified manner, waiting to see Emperor Chong punish Gu Xizhao.

Emperor Chong stared at those wooden boxes for a while, and then shifted his gaze to Gu Xizhao. He saw that the hostility in his eyes hadn't diminished in the slightest. When he looked at Gu Xizhao again, the hostility in his eyes became even worse. It even leaked a few traces of murderous aura.

Gu Xizhao noticed that Emperor Chong was staring at him. Although Emperor Chong's eyes were abnormally cold and stern, the expression on Gu Xizhao's face did not change at all, let alone nervous or scared.

Seeing Emperor Chong staring at him, Gu Xizhao also raised his brows, and with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, he met Emperor Chong's deep eyes without any regrets.

The eyes of the two intertwined, secretly competing.

Emperor Chong stared at Gu Xizhao for a while, then smiled coldly: "Mr. Gu, this is the money you are going to use to fill the treasury. Could it be that Mr. Gu is joking with me? It’s just a joke.” At the end of the sentence, Emperor Chong’s tone became even colder, and the last few words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.

After Chongdi and Gu Xizhao finished talking, he turned his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the old Prime Minister Gu, and said, "Gu Aiqing, do you know about this matter?"

When Emperor Chongdi asked this question, Old Prime Minister Gu was really hard to answer.

If you say you know, you are helping your son to despise the imperial decree and the royal family, which is a crime of disrespect.

If you say you don't know, then it's Gu Xizhao's doing alone, if you say you don't know, then you have abandoned your own son.

Old Prime Minister Gu thought for a while before replying: "The old minister knows about this matter. This matter has nothing to do with Zhao'er, it is the old minister's idea."

Old Prime Minister Gu took all the responsibilities with a few words.

"Okay, that's really good. Your Gu family can really do it." After the old Prime Minister Gu's words fell, Emperor Chong said hello several times, only to hear his tone was extremely stiff, and strong anger spewed out between his teeth.

Gu Xizhao was afraid that the Emperor Chong would punish his father, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the property of the Gu family has always been managed by Xizhao alone, what my father said is not true."

After hearing Gu Xizhao's words, Emperor Chong was about to get angry, but he was so angry that he shook his stubble and was about to speak, but before Emperor Chong could utter his words, Ling Jing took a step ahead.

Ling Jing raised her eyes, glanced at the boxes of copper coins indifferently, and suddenly said leisurely: "Your Majesty, you only ordered Mr. Gu to fill the treasury with money. Isn't copper coin not money? One copper plate can buy one." Meat buns, these twenty boxes of copper coins can buy tens of thousands of buns, and can save tens of thousands of hungry people. Gu Sangong used twenty boxes of copper coins to fill the national treasury, which is a great achievement. The entire national treasury is full, and the third son Gu has not disobeyed the imperial edict issued by you, the third son Gu, do you agree or not?"

Ling Jing's calm and leisurely words resounded in the Ganlu Hall, enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Gu Xizhao's body, and there was an elegant smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gu Xizhao glanced at Ling Jing out of the corner of his eye.

Xindao: Black-hearted, at the critical moment, you still have some conscience, but this black-hearted Ling Jing actually thought of it with him. This move is a dangerous move, taking advantage of the words of the old emperor's decree , if one is not good enough, the old emperor can really be angered, and it is really tricky for him to deal with a vicious and vicious old emperor alone.

Gu Xizhao thought for a moment, looked at Emperor Chong, and said, "Your Majesty, Xizhao has acted according to your will. These twenty boxes of copper coins are enough to fill the entire treasury." After finishing speaking, Gu Xizhao snorted secretly. The twenty large wooden boxes were heavy and large, enough to fill up the old emperor's warehouse.

Ling Jing and Gu Xizhao sang and played together, and the two cooperated very tacitly. Hearing what the two said, Emperor Chong was so angry that his blood boiled. He suppressed the rising anger in his chest, and felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat. , swallowed, and almost didn't vomit blood on the spot from the two people's anger.
