The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 685 Each is his own master (2)
It was indeed serious. According to his opinion, he felt that the people inside should be changed to another place. The cell should be cleaned thoroughly, sprinkled with lime powder, and then continue to live in it after two months of vacancy.But who is imprisoned in the prison, who is not a traitor?Even if it is death, there is more than enough to die!
However, Master Xiaoye...

After a moment of silence, Dong Qiyong continued to speak: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the prisoners in the sky prison should be moved to another place and separated, otherwise there will be a tendency to spread."

Emperor Yuanshou didn't say anything, but waved his hand, signaling Dong Qiyong to back down.

Dong Qiyong gave a salute, stepped back slowly, and waited to leave the hall, when he saw the head eunuch leading a person in, Dong Qiyong couldn't help but pause, raised his head and glanced at the person who came, and saw that it was Shen Mengde, the Minister of the Household Department.

Shen Mengde also knew Dong Qiyong, there was something wrong with the old lady in the mansion, and she once invited Dong Qiyong into the mansion, so she greeted Dong Qiyong.

"Doctor Dong."

Dong Qiyong nodded and replied, "Lord Shen."

The two of them didn't say anything, after all, this was still outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and there were ninety-five venerables sitting inside. After saying hello to each other, those who should go in went in, and those who should go out went out.

Shen Mengde entered the main hall, went forward to salute, and was given a seat by Emperor Yuanshou.

"A few days ago, I asked you to count the treasury, but now the accounts are out?"

Shen Mengde stood up, clasped her fists in salute and said, "Go back to the emperor, come out."

Emperor Yuanshou nodded, and waved his hand to signal Shen Mengde to sit down and talk.After Shen Mengde sat down, he asked: "How, how many taels are there in the treasury now?"

"Back to the emperor, the treasury now has silver, 360 taels." Shen Mengde said.

In other words, less than 400 million taels of silver!

With so little money, how can we go to Dawan?

Emperor Yuanshou frowned and remained silent.

Seeing Emperor Yuanshou's silence, Shen Meng had to think for a while, and said, "Among the 360 taels of silver, there is 540 silver, which was presented to the court by Luo Qingguo, the county lord of Qingzhou Prefecture last year!"

Ok?
Emperor Yuan Shou looked at Shen Mengde, "Luo Qingguo?"

Shen Meng nodded.

4 taels of silver is equivalent to the tax paid by a small county town for one year!

This was something that Emperor Yuanshou never thought of.

After he was silent for a while, he quickly collected his thoughts and said to Shen Mengde: "It has been decided that I will send troops to Dawan. If you don't have money, you can't fight. As the secretary of the household department, you should be worried about me. I don't care what you do, in short, before the spring of next year, I want you to prepare all the food and grass for the three armies!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance almost fell to his knees with a "plop". It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.
Emperor Yuanshou no matter what Shen Mengde thinks, he is the emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and he will not be allowed to go back on his decision!
He waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"Minister, leave."

Shen Mengde withdrew and stood outside the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He almost yelled, Yinzi, fall from the sky!
This compartment.

Emperor Yuanshou left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, remembering that he hadn't seen the Twelve Princes for a long time, and said to Ru Zhi who was following him, "Place yourself in Roufu Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ru Zhi was about to raise his voice, but Emperor Yuan Shou said suddenly: "Okay, don't put on such a big battle, you can walk with me."

"The slave obeys the order."

Ru Ting asked the little eunuch beside him to slap the dragon, and he followed Yuanshou Emperor's side, walking forward step by step.

Roufu Palace is in the northwest corner of the imperial palace. To get to Roufu Palace, you have to pass through the imperial garden. The palaces of the harem concubines are all built along the imperial garden. In the quiet palace.

Seeing that Emperor Yuanshou stopped suddenly, Ru Zhi couldn't help but raised his head to follow Emperor Yuanshou's gaze, only then did he realize that the emperor was looking at Jingyang Palace, the former bedroom of Concubine Shu.

"emperor……"

Emperor Yuanshou ignored Ru Ting's words, but picked up steps and walked towards Jingyang Palace.

In front of the gate of Jingyang Palace, there is a tree of Albizia julibrissinus with a thick adult waist. Concubine Shu likes albizia juliensis. Back then, this tree was cut from her old boudoir. No one expected that it would grow like this in a blink of an eye. So big!
The canopy of the tree is thick, and the branches and leaves are layered on top of each other like a huge open umbrella, covering half of the sky. During the flowering period, the ground is full of fallen flowers and red, against the clear and quiet palace, it is indescribable Desolate and desolate.

Emperor Yuan Shou stepped forward, pushed open the half-covered palace gate, but when he looked up, he saw a cobweb that spun a web, and when he looked inside, he could only see the same desolation as outside the palace gate.

"Ru Ting."

"Your Majesty, the servant is here." Ru Zhi stepped forward.

Emperor Yuanshou looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and asked, "Why didn't the palace servants come to clean it?"

"Back to the emperor, Concubine Shu was convicted that day, all the maids and servants in the palace were punished, and the gate of the palace was closed for a long time, that's why..."

How could someone come to clean an abandoned palace?

Emperor Yuanshou was silent for a while, gently lifted the palace gate with both hands, turned around and left without saying a word.

Ru Zhi sighed and hurriedly followed.

I thought Emperor Yuanshou would go straight to Roufu Palace, but Emperor Yuanshou detoured to a rockery in the Imperial Garden halfway, pointed to the holes on the four sides of the rockery, and said to Ru Ting: "I remember when Fushun was young , I always like to hide in these caves, and every time I hide for half an hour, she will only come out when the palace servants invite Concubine Shu to come."

Ru Zhi nodded, and echoed: "Yes, Concubine Shu always scares the princess, saying that she is so courageous and wild-tempered, so be careful not to recruit Fu Ma in the future..." Realizing that she had made a mistake, Ru Zhi hurriedly apologized, "Your majesty, this slave deserves to die, this slave..."

Emperor Yuanshou shook his head, "Okay, I don't blame you, Concubine Shu..."

Ru Zhi looked at the faint sadness hidden between Emperor Yuanshou's eyebrows, kept silent, and sighed, "Your Majesty, do you miss the princess?"

"Think about it, how can you not think about it!" Emperor Yuan Shou lowered his eyes, looked at the brown soil under his feet, and said softly: "But, what's the use of thinking about it? I, the emperor, owe her all the time!"

"Your Majesty can have someone secretly recruit the princess into the palace, or..."

Emperor Yuanshou suddenly interrupted Ru Zhi, and said: "You go to the prison to announce the decree, and say that it has been found out that Ye Yu's collusion with the enemy and the judgment of the country was a false accusation by Duan Yuankun, and he will be released immediately without charge."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ru Ting received Emperor Yuanshou's oral order, not daring to delay, after giving a salute, he turned and retreated.

In the huge imperial garden, only Emperor Yuanshou was left standing there in a daze.

The wind in early summer carried the fragrance of flowers in late spring, but he only felt desolate in his heart.
