Empress Qin said: "Elder Princess, there is no need to be polite, please sit down."
Princess Kanghua then sat down and exchanged some pleasantries first, and then began to explain: "Queen, Xiao Sa's death has nothing to do with us. We really don't know how something happened to him. The eldest son-in-law even came to the palace in person to tell us.
How could the emperor do this to Xiao Sa after asking for a marriage? The person behind this rumor is really vicious!"
Queen Qin said: "This matter has been thoroughly investigated. It has nothing to do with the eldest princess. It was a trap set by the Beijin Kingdom in order to force King Li and King Qi to completely break up. The method was the same as the interception and killing of King Rong before."
same."
Princess Kanghua breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "Just trust me and the Prince Consort!"
Queen Qin: "This tea is good. Princess, please drink more."
Princess Kanghua nodded: "Empress, Xiao Sa is gone now, so Chan'er can't just marry and become a widow. I wonder if the Empress can choose another marriage for her."
"I never ask for help from others as a matchmaker. It's mainly up to you, eldest princess, to take care of it yourself." Queen Qin said.
Princess Kanghua was overjoyed, "Then the marriage with the Xiao family is cancelled?"
"Everyone is gone, so of course the marriage is gone. Yang Chan is still young, so let her find another good man to marry."
Princess Kanghua smiled and turned to Yin Ruhua, "I didn't visit the Crown Princess after she gave birth. I sent her a message, but she didn't reply to me."
"The Crown Princess is in confinement and usually does not see guests. When she does, she only sees people from her natal family." Empress Qin responded casually.
Princess Kanghua knew that not only did she meet her mother's family, but the shameless Princess Duan also met, but she was not seen!
After talking about some topics, Princess Kanghua just revealed the main purpose of entering the palace today:
"Previously, when King Li threatened the prince's consort, he had to place a knife on his neck. We really had no choice, so we had to strengthen his strength and said a lot of flattery to them, but those were all
Not sincere!"
After King Li came to dominate the court, Princess Kanghua took refuge there.
Because of his connections and influence in the capital, as well as the financial resources behind him, he was treated as a guest by Princess Li.
This trick is also what Princess Kanghua is good at. She will take refuge in whoever is in power, and she will favor whoever has power.
Betting like this started when Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty seized the throne.
Queen Qin glanced at her and said with a smile: "I know everything the eldest princess said."
Princess Kanghua came into the palace that day, and when she came back, she had a look of pride on her face.
One trick can be used all over the world, the key is to have both sides!
But he didn't know that inside the palace, Emperor Ming Yong looked at the two hundred thousand taels of white snowflakes and silver that were brought up, and his heart was filled with murderous intent.
"The Yang family is really rich. They spent 100,000 taels of silver to seek refuge with King Li, and now they have given out another 200,000 taels, as well as two heavenly fragrant cardamoms that were offered for sale. It took a lot of manpower and financial resources to find these.
" Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty said.
Of course Empress Qin understood what he meant, "Ask someone to conduct a thorough investigation. Once the Yang family is confiscated, the treasury should be filled up in an instant."
The outside world doesn’t know, but the treasury really doesn’t have much money now.
It was not only used for this war, but also for the reconstruction after the Mingzhou flood and Qinzhou Earth Dragon.
Even Yuzhou actually allocated a lot of funds.
Because a lot of the properties that the Green Lotus Sect had collected were also transferred away, and what was left behind was only twenty-three tenths of what they had collected!
Because of this, the treasury is really empty.
This time Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty confiscated the homes of many courtiers and exterminated their clans, which was actually a disguised means of making money.
The treasury is vacant, so isn't it necessary to kill a few fat ones to stock up some oil and water for the treasury?
Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty looked at his queen and said with a smile: "I thought the queen was asking for mercy."
Empress Qin said calmly: "These two hundred thousand taels are for me to see her. Could it be that she still thinks that these two hundred thousand taels can buy her and the Yang family to be safe?"
Princess Kanghua and the Yang family contributed a lot to this Li Wang rebellion, and it was not just what appeared on the surface.
Many of the courtiers were attracted by them to seek refuge with King Li.
What happened this time also completely exposed how many officials the Yang family had secretly bribed.
As the eldest princess and the eldest son-in-law, they dare to do such a thing in private. They are really cowardly!
Emperor Ming Yong laughed, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and he directly attracted Ying Yi.
"Investigate thoroughly, I want to know the details of the Yang family."
"Yes." Yingyi took the order and retreated.
Princess Kanghua, who didn't know she was being targeted by the emperor and empress, felt that things were getting clearer after she left the palace.
"Has the agreement been reached?" Yang Zhong, the eldest son-in-law, came over immediately when he heard her return.
Princess Kanghua said: "Two hundred thousand taels of silver, what else is there to discuss? We haven't done anything that would make anyone angry!"
Yang Zhongdao: "This time our connections and power have been exposed!"
"It's been exposed, but the emperor didn't target us when he was liquidating. This shows that he still has some fragrant feelings. Don't forget that you just sent two heavenly fragrant cardamom. If it weren't for this, the emperor would be where he is now.
How energetic and energetic he is? The courtiers all said that he is like a thirty-year-old young man!" Princess Kanghua said.
Speaking of which, she was very reluctant to part with it, because she wanted to eat fragrant cardamom and regain her youth!
Yang Zhong was still a little worried, "Let's keep a low profile from now on and don't make any more noise. We will return to the land when spring comes next year!"
Princess Kanghua frowned, "Low-key? I still want to hold a banquet!"
I want to find a new marriage for my daughter.
"Chan'er's reputation has been tarnished. I'm afraid she won't be able to find a good family in this capital. As for those crooked melons and cracked jujubes, we don't like them. It's better to wait until next year to return to the land and find a local one who will be protected by us.
Well, Chan'er's life won't be any worse, there's no need to look for her here." Yang Zhong said.
Princess Kanghua was not convinced, "What are you talking about? What is Chan'er's identity and appearance? Even if her reputation is damaged, there are still many people who want to marry her!"
She still wants to find a marriage for her daughter in the capital, so that she can consolidate some of the power of the Yang family!
Yang Zhong did not refute this, "Just do it in private, don't make it too big."
