Yu Wenhao glanced at her, but he actually wanted to say that she was just young. He had negotiated the price. Who knew she would give out 700,000 taels? However, he was still very moved in his heart. Lao Yuan has been very careful about money recently.
, but she is willing to spend so much money for him, which shows that in her heart, he is more important than anything else.
"It's all out, don't think about it anymore, we'll try to get another blackmail from the imperial grandfather later," Yu Wenhao said.
Yuan Qingling was puzzled, "The old man has a gold mine and is very wealthy. Why don't you help the court? Help your father? See how miserable my father is?"
"That is the last line of defense. If there is really going to be a war, the emperor can at least divert part of it to military expenditure." Yu Wenhao sighed: "We in the Northern Tang Dynasty cannot withstand the losses of the war for the time being. That's why I insist on going with the big army."
Zhou reached an alliance agreement, hoping that the two countries would watch each other, frighten Bei Mo and Xianbei, and exchange for a short-term peace. If we can fight for five or ten years, it will be of great benefit to us in the Northern Tang Dynasty."
Yu Wenhao said this, and Yuan Qingling felt a little better. As it is said that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, she donated this money to the country at that time.
Don't think that you are helping the Concubine Xian with this money. Thinking like this will make you feel uncomfortable, not worth it, and unwilling.
The next day, Qingyu Palace!
Emperor Ming Yuan ordered Eunuch Mu Ru to go to Qingyu Palace and declare an edict.
Concubine Xian knelt down to receive the order. After receiving the order, she was stunned. Then her face was full of rage and her whole body was shaking with anger.
He actually informed the emperor about this? He is a traitor!
Mu Rugong said fairly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor deliberately favors you in this matter, so he asked you to return the stolen silver and fined silver of 500,000 taels. The Crown Princess has already raised 700,000 taels for you. The rest is up to you.
Just get it together within three days."
Concubine Xian kept a sullen face and said nothing. She said nicely that the 700,000 taels was not given by her, but by Lao Wu. If she really had the heart to do so, she should have given them all.
When Eunuch Mu Ru saw that she was silent, he said again: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is very angry about this matter. Don't take chances. It's not that the Emperor doesn't want to make a big fuss about this matter. He just wants to do it for the sake of the Crown Prince."
You should hurry up and make up for the money. The emperor's decree has made it clear that for five hundred thousand taels, not a penny can be lost."
Concubine Xian suppressed her anger and said calmly: "I know, please go back."
Mu Rugong announced his withdrawal.
As soon as he came out of the yard, he heard loud noises of things being smashed inside. Eunuch Mu Ru shook his head gently and sighed, Concubine Xian has been really angry recently. Since she has been crowned prince, she can't sit still.
.
No wonder, she felt uncomfortable after being granted the title of crown prince but not mother-in-law.
But this is not something you can get by making trouble. The prince's biological mother cannot be virtuous.
Concubine Xian smashed all the things in the palace before sitting down panting, holding the imperial edict in her hand. The imperial edict did not reprimand her. It was businesslike and indifferent. She only asked her to return the stolen silver and fined silver, but did not mention any punishment.
, not even a word revealed his disappointment and anger.
Concubine Xian has served Emperor Ming Yuan for more than twenty years. She is very aware of Emperor Ming Yuan's temperament. He allows his concubines to have small fights, but once they escalate to endangering the court and harming the people, it will offend his treason.
It touched his bottom line.
Even if he forgives her, her future life in the palace will probably be miserable.
When Lao Wu came to question her, she was not afraid at all. Lao Wu was her biological son, and there was no way a son would give his mother away.
But she never expected that he would directly report to the emperor. Concubine Xian's heart felt as if ice had condensed, and her whole body was shaking with cold.
