Although Xu Shen knew the reason, he still broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Xu Wenzhao's words.
How could this silly kid take this troubled water on himself?
After hearing this, Prince Dingxi laughed dryly and said: "Interesting, really interesting! Princess Kanghe is like a prophet, able to predict natural disasters in advance, and even raised rice grains in advance, and even used this to blackmail,
It is indeed a good plan to let His Majesty let the Shen family go!"
He stared at Shen Qingyi and said: "But I don't know where the news of this natural disaster came from, and where did so much silver come from?! If he hadn't colluded with various places to make money in various places, a mere princess,
How can you come up with so much silver out of thin air?!"
As soon as these words came out, the officials reacted with enthusiasm, and they all agreed and said: "A mere princess can actually provide enough rice for disaster relief. If you say that there is no corruption in the Shen family, who will believe it?"
!”
"Oh, the Shen family now relies on Marquis Sui Yi, so naturally they can get as much money as they want! If we don't have military power, what can we do to compete with Marquis Sui Yi!"
"Didn't you see that even the young master of the household department is standing with Princess Kanghe? I'm afraid, this household department has colluded with Shen Qingyi for a long time, and now she is standing here like a savior. Who dares to treat her?
Her sin?"
Everyone had red mouths and white teeth, and the words they spoke almost drowned Shen Qingyi.
However, Shen Qingyi just stood there quietly, listening to everyone's words indifferently.
The Minister of Rites raised his eyebrows: "Marquis Pingnan is just discussing the matter, but Princess Kanghe is holding on to her. Is there something wrong in her heart?!"
"I am the evidence!"
Everyone was silent.
He saw Emperor Suiyuan walking up to him in a wheelchair. He stood up from the dragon chair in a hurry and called out: "Father..."
He raised his voice and said: "The Shen family has been sealed. None of you, your lords, can speak for Uncle Shen. It is clearly a groundless rumor, but the Shen family has been sealed for several months. Now, with just one word, your lords have identified Princess Kanghe and my father.
Collusion, but why don’t you ask if there is evidence for this matter?!”
One word, but it was like a sudden thunder, setting off layers of waves that could destroy the world.
Mu Wenqing said: "What the Marquis said is wrong! Perhaps it was because the Ministry of Revenue colluded with Princess Kanghe to secretly transfer the money in the treasury early in the morning, which is why this happened!"
What he got was a slap with all his strength.
How could the adults here take the words of a child seriously? As if they had heard some big joke, Zhao Xu even sneered and said: "Someone accused the Shen family of being a rebellious party, but you said this was groundless.
What you say is not trustworthy, and the matter involves a lot of things, but you say that there is evidence for it, but I don’t know what the evidence you call it is?"
Suddenly I heard a childish roar, but it was Xu Wenzhao who had already endured it no longer.
He looked at Emperor Suiyuan slowly approaching him, the ministers kneeling on the ground, and Shen Qingyi looking up at him with a subtle smile. His mind went blank, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.
Chu Zhengyue stood up unhurriedly, looked at everyone, and said: "Princess Kanghe destroyed Xuanwu Mountain and received three million taels of silver and paid it into the national treasury. I led the troops to the Western Liao for the first time, except for the purpose of raising troops."
, the remaining 50 million taels were all paid to the national treasury, and the Liu family ransacked their homes and executed them, and received a total of 1.7 million taels of silver, all of which were turned over to the national treasury. Taxes in various places were not reduced, and the annual tax revenue was 500,000 taels, totaling 5,500 taels.
Two hundred thousand taels."
Why would he appear so well in the Jinluan Palace today!
Why?
Why?!
When Zhao Xu saw Shen Qingyi, he naturally remembered the humiliation of that day. His concubine disdained the position of queen and was contented with others, so she was openly carried out of the palace by Chu Zhengyue, who put his dignity on the ground and trampled on him, leaving him
Everyone in the world is laughing at you!
Shen Qingyi was the first to kneel down respectfully, making way for the visitor, and said: "Kang He pays homage to your majesty, long live my emperor, long live your Majesty!"
As soon as this laughter came out, everyone fell silent in panic.
Shen Qingyi sneered and said: "Master Mu is really a master at confusing right and wrong. Tens of millions of silver coins disappeared and landed in Master Mu's mouth and then he pushed it to me. No wonder His Majesty thinks so highly of you!"
After Dingxihou's reaction, everyone came back to their senses and knelt down to worship.
Her voice echoed in the hall.
Zhao Xu clenched his hands suddenly, and his face became even more ugly.
How could this be so?!
"enough!"
Everyone started talking again, most of them accusing Shen Qingyi of secretly transferring stolen money and colluding with the household department, and their words became even more offensive.
At the beginning, he personally put that bowl of poison into his father's mouth!
In order for his father to drink the poison he had sent without suspecting him, he did not hesitate to test the medicine himself, lure his father to drink it, and watch him scratch and die in pain!
The laughter was low and indifferent, but full of contempt, as if everyone was just a group of the tiniest ants.
How did that happen?
"Snapped!"
When everyone's voices gradually became quieter, someone suddenly smiled.
Chu Zhengyue glanced at Zhao Xu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, his face already pale.
The Marquis of Dingxi came to his senses, crawled to the ground and knelt down, kowtowed with cold sweat, and said in a trembling voice: "I respectfully welcome your Majesty! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"
He stared at Emperor Suiyuan, who was sitting in a wheelchair and slowly walking towards him, and his mind went blank.
The man beside the dragon chair lazily held up his cheeks and said: "What you all said makes sense, but before that, I have something I want to ask your Majesty first."
Chu Zhengyue looked at his increasingly pale face with satisfaction and said: "Add the taxes from the previous two years, the national treasury should have 60 million taels of silver, but why is there not a penny left? So much so that the Ministry of Household Affairs wants to join forces.
Princess Kanghe, do you have to find a way to make up for this shortfall?"
At this moment, how could he have the mind to listen to what others were arguing about?
However, as soon as Chu Zhengyue said these words, he reacted. Maybe he didn't want to show his timidity in front of Chu Zhengyue in front of Shen Qingyi, so he calmed down, regained his composure, and said, "If Chu Qing has something to say, just ask.
"
The beating made Zhao Xu's mouth bleed, and he fell down on the dragon's chair. His face was pale and he couldn't utter a single word.
"You beast! You killed your father and mother for the sake of the throne. You have no sense of shame! If Kang He hadn't expected that there would be a drought in Yongchang early in the morning, so he started to stockpile grain early in the morning and secretly helped the national treasury, otherwise you think Yongchang
Can you survive until today?!"
Emperor Suiyuan was already weak, so he slapped Zhao Xu with all his strength, and became even more furious. He coughed twice every time he said a word. Although he was still alive, his hair was completely white, and he was no longer as good as the prosperous Emperor Ming.
looks like.
After hearing what he said, Zhao Xu realized what he was saying. He pointed at Shen Qingyi with trembling fingers and said, "So it's you... You already knew that I was attacking my father to seize the throne, so you, you..."
