"Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen Mother has not been feeling well lately. She often has nightmares and cannot sleep. She has seen the imperial doctor but it has no effect. She thinks she is haunted by evil spirits. I have heard that the former Emperor Duan Xiao and Empress Duanxiao often suffer from nightmares. , she woke up in the middle of the night. Later, her son was filial and built a temple for her, and she recovered without medicine."
Bai Jinyuan's voice rang out in the court hall, and every sentence was an allusion to the unfilial piety of the Yin Lord.
There was silence in this huge court hall. The courtiers looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.
"The second thing I want to report is that your Majesty has been on the throne for more than three years, and there is still no concubine in the harem. This is really inappropriate. As the monarch of the Great Yin Dynasty, you should continue to have children for the Great Yin Dynasty, so that the Queen Mother will have less worries. Some."
Shen Nanxiao glanced at Bai Jinyuan, with a dark look in his eyes.
This Bai Jinyuan must have resented Bai Yanci's death, but now, he is actually embarrassing the Lord like this.
Doesn't he just want Bai Zhixi to be the emperor and empress?
If one day, Bai Zhixi really gives birth to an heir, then Bai Jinyuan will definitely conspire with Empress Dowager Bai to murder the emperor and support his youngest son to ascend the throne.
When the time comes, they can hold the emperor hostage and command the princes.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if my proposal is feasible?"
Seeing that Gu Tingfang remained silent, Bai Jinyuan couldn't help but urge.
He lowered his eyebrows lightly, but he felt proud in his heart. If he agreed to build a temple for the Queen Mother, then the people would be miserable and angry at his extravagance.
If he doesn't want to, then it will be a huge act of unfilial piety and will be criticized by his subjects.
The corners of Gu Tingfang's lips curled up slightly, and her eyes were clear.
Then, I heard him say: "What Mr. Rong Guo said makes sense."
Hearing this, Bai Jinyuan showed a proud smile on his face, "Thank you very much..."
"That's it!" Gu Tingfang interrupted Bai Jinyuan's words of gratitude, "I will leave the construction of the temple to Marquis Rongguo."
Bai Jinyuan's eyes were filled with joy, but before he was completely happy, he listened to Gu Tingfang again.
"It's just that the national treasury is empty, and there are still people in Yin to support, and millions of soldiers to support. The money to build the temple should come from the Rongguo Marquis Mansion."
Bai Jinyuan's pupils shrank and he raised his eyes in disbelief, "Your Majesty, my minister..."
"Remember, you are not allowed to plunder the people's wealth, and you are not allowed to increase taxes without permission. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished!"
"Your Majesty!" Bai Jinyuan panicked and said quickly: "How can I come here to build this temple?"
"No?" Gu Tingfang looked at him lazily, with a calm but powerful aura about him, "In the first year of the Great Yin Dynasty, Marquis Rong Guo was ordered to inspect Prince Xiang's Mansion..."
"I obey the decree!"
Before Gu Tingfang could finish what he said, Bai Jinyuan suddenly knelt down on the ground and bowed devoutly.
He was lying on the ground, but his heart was uneasy.
At that time, he was ordered to raid Prince Xiang's Mansion and embezzled more than 100,000 yuan. He originally thought that these princes did not know about it. After all, he had already sent part of it to the treasury at that time. Who knew...
It turns out that your Majesty knows all these things, but why has he kept it secret all these years?
Yin Luzhu stood quietly on one side, taking in the whole scene.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Tingfang complicatedly, and murmured in a low voice: "I wonder how many secrets of the courtiers he has mastered."
As if thinking of something, Yin Luzhu glanced at Gu Tingfang on the throne very subtly.
‘Wouldn’t he also know my secret?’
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Tingfang raised her eyes and looked at Yin Luzhu, her brows furrowed slightly.
