That's the salary paid to the military everywhere.
No matter how stupid the emperor was, he still knew that the country and the country depended on these troops to maintain stability, so even if she was confused and wanted to do this and that, she never touched the money.
This Su Zijin actually dares to touch his salary. Isn't that asking for death?
Seeing that the emperor's face was so dark, Qiao Jinhuan only added fuel to the fire.
She immediately said angrily, "Your Majesty, Su Zijin is harming you by doing this! She is cunning and uses your name to deduct military pay. She will take advantage of it. You will bear the infamy for all eternity!"
"According to my opinion, the military pay is getting less and less year by year. The soldiers in the border areas are already living a hard life. If the military pay is insufficient, wouldn't it be..."
Click till then.
Qiao Jinhuan said nothing more.
But the emperor already understood what she meant—the border officers were prone to mutiny due to lack of pay.
Mutiny is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled well, the whole country will have to be surrendered.
At this moment, the emperor's murderous intention towards Su Zijin reached its peak.
"Then tell me, what should I do now?" the emperor asked suppressing his anger.
Qiao Jinhuan curled her lips calmly, "The most urgent task is to pay the generals and fill in all the previous vacancies."
What a lot of money this must be!
The emperor looked troubled.
"Didn't Su Zijin find nearly 60 million taels of silver?" Qiao Jinhuan reminded.
"But I..."
"I know that the emperor wants to practice the palace, but at least 50 million of these 60 million silver must be returned to the national treasury. Not only the military salary, but also the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes that Su Zijin cleverly collected under his name, must also make up for the common people and let them know that your Majesty
It is the Holy Lord Mingjun."
The emperor frowned, feeling that he had been happy in vain these past few days.
But Holy Lord Mingjun, she really likes these words.
"Your Majesty, there is more than one Su Zijin in this court." Qiao Jinhuan reminded again.
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you mean?"
"Searching the house."
Qiao Jinhuan took a deep breath, "One Su Zijin can get 60 million silver. You can get 10 million. If there are a few more..."
Then the palace will be no problem at all!
The emperor instantly understood what she meant and couldn't help but be tempted.
She knew that there were not many clean people in this court. If they really wanted to ransack their homes, they would definitely do it right.
"But if there are too many homes confiscated, will it be recorded in the history books..."
"Your Majesty, you are eliminating harm for the people! The people will naturally applaud and praise you, and history books will also record that you are an emperor who loves the people like his own son."
Qiao Jinhuan put on several high hats and directly deceived the emperor.
"I also feel sorry for your Majesty. For a wise and benevolent monarch like you, you just want to build a palace and can't build it. I feel really sad."
That's right, she has done so many things for the people, but she just wants to build a palace?
"Everything is for the people!"
The emperor said earnestly and thoughtfully.
Ah, yes, yes.
Just for the people.
You can continue to PUA yourself here, as long as you are happy.
Anyway, what Qiao Jinhuan wanted to do has been done.
Regardless of whether it is for the common people or for the palace, the current emperor is indeed interested in the officials in the court.
As for Su Zijin.
She had to pay back the money she got from the emperor. It would be strange if the emperor didn't chop her head off.
So Su Zijin's head just rolled down at the entrance of the market.
The remaining Su family members were exiled.
All the courtiers who learned the news:???
They couldn't believe what they heard.
You know, in recent years, the emperor has become more and more merciful, and he treats criminal officials lightly. He has not killed any court officials for three or four years.
But today, she killed Su Zijin!
Does this mean that the emperor will no longer adopt a lenient attitude towards courtiers in the future?
The courtiers were extremely frightened and behaved more and more politely, fearing that they would become the next Su Zijin.
Guo Ziyi and others, who had gone to Qiao Jinhuan's place for a meeting earlier, felt a sense of superiority from the bottom of their hearts - if the Prime Minister didn't bully me, the Emperor would really kill them!
"Su Zijin is really dead?"
Even the princess couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the news.
After receiving a positive answer from her subordinates, she said softly, "Qiao Jinhuan, you are indeed a talent."
You can be a traitor, but you can be a virtuous person.
She really looks like she wants to change her past, repent, and become a pillar of the country.
How did Mrs. Liang educate her?
The princess was really curious.
However, it was not enough to overthrow just one Minister of Household Affairs, so the Crown Princess decided to wait.
After a while, I stopped bathing.
After Qiao Jinhuan got up from a light sleep, he took Liang Xi for an outing.
The two of them rode in a carriage, and Qu Tingzhou rode in a carriage alone. The group of people slowly headed back to Yunshan.
Qu Tingzhou didn't know Liang Xi's plan for today, so before leaving, he dressed himself delicately and charmingly. He wore a green shirt, with tassels dangling on his head, and looked up and down between his brows, full of amorous feelings.
However, Qiao Jinhuan didn't accept his trick.
"I have been busy with government affairs these days, and have somewhat neglected my husband."
As soon as he got on the carriage, Qiao Jinhuan held Liang Xi's hand.
Liang Xi shook his head slightly, "Political matters are important. I've seen my wife come down these past two days and she's all haggard."
"That husband must not make up for me properly."
Qiao Jinhuan joked, while holding Liang Xi's hand and kissing it, "Why do husband's hands smell so good today?"
"lecher."
Liang Xi glanced at Qiao Jinhuan a little shyly, and then replied: "I put on the hand cream just issued by Xinyuetang. It is lily fragrance. My wife still likes it."
"I like it, as long as it's on my husband, I like it as a wife."
Qiao Jinhuan touched his soft little hand, and suddenly put her arms around his waist and brought him to her side, "How can you be considered a slut when you kiss your husband for your wife? It's obvious that your husband is too sweet today, so he calls you a wife."
Can’t hold it anymore.”
Liang Xi:……
"You can say sweet words to coax me."
Liang Xi poked her face helplessly.
It's really a waste of time to open this mouth. Although what I say sounds nice, I can't hear the false words of others.
"Master Wife, I plan to find a good man for Qu Qing today."
Liang Xi added in a low voice, "Quqing has been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it is inevitable that some people will gossip."
"Then look for it."
Qiao Jinhuan responded casually, "Indeed, it doesn't look right that he has been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why don't we let him move out?"
If you move out at this time, you will inevitably feel like you don't have three hundred taels of silver here.
Those who don't understand think that he can't tolerate people and Qiao Jinhuan kicks them out and raises them as an outhouse.
"No, the Quqing people are just here to stay for a while. I will explain it clearly to them today." Liang Xi said immediately.
Qiao Jinhuan nodded, "It's up to you."
"After much thought, I think we should find a minor official for Qu Qingren who has lost his wife. What does the wife think?"
