Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 491 The Emperor is So Valuable!

Rumors in the palace were rampant, as if they had spread overnight.

Hong Ling tidied up Shen Ninghua's clothes, and said involuntarily: "Your Majesty, do you really need to ignore the rumors in the palace?"

Shen Ninghua looked indifferent, and said indifferently: "Don't worry about it, let them pass it on. Just in time, you take this opportunity to write down all the dishonest people in the harem, and when this matter is over, we will settle it together."

"Yes, this servant will remember it well, but, my lord, this servant finds it a little strange. Logically speaking, Tu Su Qingli is just a young lady of the Tusu family. There is this energy in it."

Shen Ninghua chose a jadeite bracelet to wear on her wrist, and couldn't help but smile: "The Tusu family doesn't have it, but Baili Jinyu and Baili Jinjing do. Although their biological mother Li Taiguifei died, they left before Now, I am in charge of the harem, and there are no other people in the harem, so a large part of the manpower will naturally be abolished. Naturally, if some people do not want to leave the palace, they will have to work for the new master. Besides, it is just spreading some rumors , was caught by Ben Gong, that is, a few boards, they don't take it to heart."

"Your Majesty, these people are really hateful. According to the servant girl's thinking, they must all be arrested and killed."

Shen Ninghua couldn't help laughing: "Baili Jinjing and the others wish I could do this. As long as I kill a group of people, they will be able to stir up the officials of the previous dynasty to participate in the vicious killing of my palace. The reputation of the world doesn't exist at all.

Hong Ling curled her lips: "These people really have deep thoughts. Fortunately, the empress can see clearly and won't let them succeed."

"Okay, don't pay attention to these rumors, everything will be clear when the truth comes out." Shen Ninghua looked towards the door, "It's already this hour, why hasn't the emperor come down yet?"

Hong Ling was also a little strange: "Yes, logically speaking, the emperor should be back. Should I send someone to take a look?"

"No need, wait, maybe something happened in the court."

At this time, in the previous dynasty, something did happen, and it was a major event.The officials of the Ministry of Rites knelt in the hall, with serious expressions on their faces: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of rumors spreading among the people, which will have a great impact on the Emperor's reputation. Please deal with it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Da'an Kingdom has always been ceremonial. When the first emperor was in power, he treated the harem very leniently. Now that the emperor has been enthroned for a long time, it is better to take this opportunity to start the draft, and recruit the harem to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. .”

Baili Junyi sat on the dragon chair, propped himself up a little and looked at the chattering officials below. From the moment he went up to court, someone brought up the rumor that he was lucky enough to have Tu Su Qingli. Immediately afterwards, officials from all walks of life Then one by one jumped out, saying that since the woman is lucky, she will be included in the harem, and they also said to use this to open a draft, hmph, these people really have great ideas!
"My lord is wrong. It is the emperor's private matter to be lucky with the emperor. How can he bring it up and discuss it in the court. This is disrespectful to the emperor. Please order punishment from the emperor."

"No, the draft is a major event in the world, and the continuation of the royal bloodline is not a private matter. How about bringing it up for discussion at the court? Didn't the late emperor bring up this topic when he was in power?"

Officials from all walks of life were arguing in the hall.Many newly promoted officials couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, so they could only stand aside silently.They are all newly promoted, relying on their own abilities, and there is no suitable woman in their family who can be sent to the harem, so it is nothing to do with themselves, so there is no need to go through this muddy water.

Moreover, the emperor's feelings for the empress are obvious to all, plus they have been in contact with the empress before, such a woman must have good looks, wisdom and wisdom, so what if they send their own daughter in?Can he fight against the empress who is so pampered?

It's better to do errands for the emperor honestly, and go up step by step in a down-to-earth manner.

Just when Baili Junyi was impatiently about to interrupt the debate, Zuo Qing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Baili Junyi raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the emperor, someone from the Tusu family has found Wei Chen, and wants the Wei minister to report to the emperor. The Tusu family is willing to donate all their family wealth to help the emperor appease the people who suffered from the previous snow disaster."

You frowned suddenly in Baili Bureau: "What did you say? All the wealth of the Tusu family?"

"Yes, the Tusu family has been in operation for more than a hundred years and has accumulated countless wealth. The head of the Tusu family told the minister himself that he is willing to donate 3000 million taels of silver to do something for the people of Da'an."

As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar, and many people were stunned. 3000 million taels, that's not 3000 taels, 3 taels or something small, it's 3000 million taels, which can be worth the taxes of Da'an for several years.The Tusu family is really rich, and what is even more incredible is that the Tusu family donated so much money directly.

Hmm... that's not right, it was just rumored that the emperor was lucky enough to meet Tu Su Qingli, and now the Tusu family will stand up and donate silver, could it be that they used the silver taels to pry open the gate of the harem and send Tu Su Qingli to the dragon bed? Bar?
Many officials instantly felt that they had realized the truth, and couldn't help but look up at Baili Junyi.The emperor is really honorable, the main reason is that it is expensive, 3000 million two for the opportunity to enter the emperor's harem, this price is no one else.

Many newly-promoted officials are a little stupid, even thinking that if there is a natural disaster in the future and need relief, and the court has no money, it is better to auction off the location of the emperor's harem. Everyone has the wealth and wealth of the Tusu family, but a few hundred thousand taels or a few million taels is also good...

At this time, Baili Junyi, who was sitting on the dragon chair, almost fell into the water with a gloomy expression.It's no wonder that the Tusu family is going around trying to gain ground these days, and Baili Jinyu and Baili Jinjing are also helping to promote the rumors, for this trick.

Come to think of it, the fact that the Tusu family wanted to donate 3000 million taels of silver has already been spread by everyone outside. Moreover, the silver was also specified to be donated to the Daan Kingdom to appease the people affected by the disaster. If he refused, those The people affected by the disaster may be the first to refuse to agree. Although civil unrest will not break out, their trust in the court will be minimized.

After all, things are worthy of concern only if they are actually related to themselves. If it is normal, if the money is sent up, the royal family will not accept it, but if they know that the money is for them and are rejected by the royal family, then they It's a big loss...

"Zuo Aiqing, I'm very surprised, how did the Tusu family find you and let you spread the word?"

Zuo Qing seemed to have known that Baili Junyi would ask this question a long time ago, and his expression did not change at all: "Reporting to the emperor, I have been an official in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and my teacher is a member of the direct line of the Tusu family. It can be said that I They have a lot of connection with the Tusu family, so they will send messages to Wei Chen."

The corners of Baili Junyi's lips twitched. He put the matter in front of him so straightforwardly, and he really couldn't do anything to him. After all, the Tusu family didn't make any mistakes today, and it's okay to have a member of the Tusu family as a teacher. .

"Is that so, no wonder, I thought there were many people in the court who were willing to spread the word for the Tusu family."

As soon as the words came out, the officials below did not respond. The emperor was obviously unhappy and was beating them. I guess he knew that many officials had received people from the Tu Su family some time ago...

Zuo Qing said: "Your Majesty, people from Tu Su's family are in Weichen's mansion, and they said that as long as the Emperor agrees, they will immediately pack silver and other things into the palace."

Baili Junyi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't worry about this matter. Now that the snow disaster has passed, the people are considered safe. I don't worry about these silver coins. Moreover, how can I not see the contribution of the Tusu family in person? See you, how about it, I will hold a banquet in three days, and I will invite Patriarch Tu Su to come to the banquet, he is so heroic, I want to have a good chat with him."

Zuo Qing hastily saluted: "Yes, on behalf of Tu Su's family, I would like to thank Lord Long En."

"Well, by the way, I remember that the envoy of the peace talks of the Da Viet Kingdom has been in the capital for some time. I have too many things to do during this time, and I even forgot. Since there will be a banquet in three days, then let's bring Da Viet together." The envoys of the country should also be called, so that we can sit together and have a chat."

"...It is..." The official was a little puzzled, and put the envoy of Dayue Kingdom and the Tusu family together. Is it really okay for the emperor to deal with it like this?

Baili Junyi went down and went straight back to the back bedroom, his face was very gloomy.Seeing his expression, Shen Ninghua was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Baili Junyi rubbed his forehead, and leaned against Shen Ninghua on the soft couch: "Ninghua, the rumors in the palace have spread outside, and the Tusu family took the opportunity to donate all their wealth of 3000 million taels. I brought it up, and now I'm devastated."

Shen Ninghua was stunned, and after turning her thoughts, she figured out the joints: "The Tu Su family's move is good. Originally, I heard the rumors in the palace and thought that the Tu Su family knew what Tu Su Qingli did. They want to fish her out. Unexpectedly, their plans are bigger."

"Well, now that the Tusu family has donated all their wealth, even if we want to deal with Tusu Qingli, we have to put it down gently in the face of this great contribution, and, coupled with the previous life-saving grace, the people of the world are eager to help. She was stuffed into the harem."

"3000 million taels...that's a lot. Even if you are the emperor, you haven't seen so much money at once."

Baili Junyi turned over and stared at Shen Ninghua with one hand behind his head: "Hmph, Ninghua, don't you want to sell me for the money?"

Shen Ninghua chuckled: "Whatever the emperor says, how dare the concubines make decisions."

"Hmph, why did you smile so maliciously just now, tell me the truth, what were you thinking just now?"

"I was just thinking, the emperor is really valuable, rich as a country?"

Baili Junyi: ...
