Yuan Qing Ling thought about the words and said, "My daughter-in-law knows a thing or two about what to say to my father."
There was no emotion or anger on Emperor Ming Yuan's face. His eyes were very indifferent, "If it is found out, her head will not be saved."
Yuan Qingling didn't know how to answer, so she just hummed.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her. "Do you think I should investigate thoroughly and remove your mother-in-law's head?"
Yuan Qingling quickly raised her head and glanced at Emperor Ming Yuan, feeling very strange in her heart. No matter what happened, she shouldn't ask her, right? Wouldn't that be tantamount to intervening in politics?
She thought for a while and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know. My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to ask about the affairs of the court."
Emperor Ming Yuan said calmly: "Now that I'm asking you for your opinion, it's whatever you say."
Isn’t this making things difficult for her? It’s not appropriate for her to say she will investigate or not. If she says she will investigate, she will really investigate. If she picks off Concubine Xian’s head, even if Lao Wu doesn’t say anything on the surface, can she not mind it in her heart?
If we say we won't investigate, it doesn't make sense that we should let people like these who bring harm to the country and people be allowed to be protected.
In order to protect herself, she could only say: "Father, my daughter-in-law really doesn't know. She doesn't dare to ask."
Emperor Ming Yuan smiled coldly, "They say the Crown Princess is upright and outspoken. Now it seems that I am also a self-interested person who is good at protecting myself."
Yuan Qingling didn't know why the emperor wanted to force her into a dilemma. Whether she got involved or not, what impact would it have on the overall situation?
She remained silent, thinking deep down in her heart what the emperor wanted to do.
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "If this matter is done, it will have a great impact on Lao Wu. He will also be criticized for having a tainted mother and concubine, and he will be more likely to be attacked based on this in the future, but you are worried
It's not a matter of reputation. Concubine Xian is always the mother-in-law of Lao Wu. If this matter is taken seriously, Concubine Xian's head will have to be moved. Therefore, I think it can't be done at the moment. Let's save it first. She is saving it anyway.
There is also a lot of evil."
Yuan Qingling continued to hum and did not express an opinion. She only waited for Emperor Ming Yuan to say that he had expressed his attitude. In fact, she had a vague guess and even felt that her guess was relatively reliable.
Sure enough, Emperor Ming Yuan said next: "However, not dealing with her does not mean that she will not be investigated. Since the chief minister and the household department already know about this matter, we still need to investigate what should be investigated, but we will not implicate her. I will ask someone to do the accounting today."
After a while, the total amount is 800,000 taels. If she wants Su Dahe to live, she must return all the stolen money and pay a fine of 500,000 taels, totaling 1.3 million taels. In this way, I can be lenient.
, take her out and spare the lives of Su Da and the dog."
When Yuan Qingling heard this, he felt that the emperor was very scheming. After all, he was an old fox. If he killed Su Dahe, he would be killing the nephew of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother would definitely be so angry that she would get sick or something. Therefore, he should not
He would kill Su Dahe immediately, but he would definitely have to settle accounts with his wife afterwards, as can be seen from the word "temporary" in his words.
Since you want to spare his life, why not take the opportunity to make money?
It seems that the emperor is really poor.
Yuan Qingling expressed her position at this time, "My daughter-in-law thinks what my father said is reasonable. The Su family has a great business and should be able to afford the life-saving money."
She had already noticed the emperor's intention, so she had to block the back door immediately.
She believes that the king of a country at least understands the four words of not forcing others to do things that are difficult for them.
Obviously, she was wrong. The king of a country understands, but a king who is crazy and poor will not pay attention to this. Emperor Ming Yuan saw that the hint failed, and said directly, "For this silver, the Su family will pay five hundred thousand taels."
, the remaining 800,000 taels is what Concubine Xian should pay. She will pay as much as she has there first. The rest is just scraps of silver. You and Lao Wu can make up for it for her, and it will be considered complete.
Lao Wu and your filial piety."
When Yuan Qingling heard this, her heart was broken, her eyes widened and she said tremblingly: "Father, I wonder how much these scraps of silver are?"
"I estimate that Concubine Xian can get tens of thousands of silver." When Emperor Ming Yuan spoke, his eyes were a little dodgey. Although he was clearly robbing Yuan Qing Ling, he couldn't be so confident.
Yuan Qingling felt like she wanted to pass out immediately, and she knew she couldn't have a meal with the emperor because the meal was too expensive.
"What? Lao Wu's filial piety is not comparable to that little bit of silver?" Emperor Ming Yuan frowned, "Look at how stingy you are, this little money can't hurt you, and it can fulfill Lao Wu's filial piety.
, Crown Princess, the grace of childbearing and the grace of nurturing, think carefully about it."
Yuan Qingling's eyes widened and she was furious. Is she stingy? How can a person who even asks for rewards have the nerve to say this? She must have seen the truth that once a person is poor and crazy, he is invincible in the world.
.
Yuan Qing Ling Fuyu resisted and said in a low voice: "However, a large part of the daughter-in-law's money is the growth fund awarded to the children by the Supreme Emperor. It is difficult for the daughter-in-law to misappropriate it without their consent."
Emperor Ming Yuan raised his hand and said majesticly: "Don't worry, I have understood it clearly. The emperor rewarded the child with three little wolves. The gold is all for you. Don't worry. If anything happens, I will help you."
I'll bear it for you."
Yuan Qingling couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this. Did she mean to thank him profusely after paying for her money?
Yuan Qing asked weakly: "Father, does Lao Wu know about this?"
Emperor Ming Yuan sighed: "Of course I know, but he said he couldn't go back and ask you to get the money. He went to find a way to borrow it himself. That was his mother-in-law. How could he not save it? This child is a bit stubborn, but he is filial.
You are very filial. I think it is inappropriate for a dignified prince to borrow money all over the street. Thinking that you are also a reasonable person, I will summon you to the palace and ask what you mean."
"He went to borrow money?" Yuan Qing was startled. He wanted to borrow 800,000 taels? Why didn't he go back and discuss it with her? As long as it was what he said, she would give it to him no matter how distressed she was.
Emperor Ming Yuan was silent and looked at her as if he meant to weigh it yourself.
A generation of fox kings, I know very well that when something is said, it is important to give people space to think and make people willingly contribute.
Yuan Qingling lived up to his expectations. Although it could be seen that she was gritting her teeth and bleeding from her heart, she still said those encouraging words, "My daughter-in-law... is willing to subsidize the rest, but please
Father, please ask mother and concubine how much you can afford, don't ask your daughter-in-law to give you 800,000 taels."
Emperor Ming Yuan said loudly: "Don't worry, even if I want her to sell off her gold and silver jewelry, I will definitely ask her to get more. I can't let you suffer too much. I can't let her wrong you too much or embarrass you. Don't worry!"
Yuan Qingling staggered out of the palace and walked out slowly while holding on to the palace wall. There was a layer of gloom in her heart. She didn't have enough money in the first place, but now she has been extorted a huge sum of money. How can she be willing to accept it? Ruo Shuoxian
The concubine was good to her, and she was willing to give her this money. However, she wanted her to die, and she wanted to spend a large sum of money to save her.
