Mu Yunhan was still confused when he returned home.
When he regained his breath, the first thing he did was to grab Gu Fenglin's hand and ask him: "What's going on? Bribery? Illegal money? Public money?"
Gu Fenglin looked at her silly look and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about? I inherited this from the private treasury of past priests.
The reason why I didn't give it to you is because I should give it to the next priest.
I felt that neither you nor I were short of money and it was unlikely that we would use this money, so I didn’t mention it.”
Mu Yunhan stared at him, and he opened his eyes wide and met her gaze with a smile, letting her see clearly.
Clear and calm, he really doesn't look like a corrupt criminal.
Looking at the construction of the cellar, it doesn't look like it was built in the past two years, so it can't be taxes.
Mu Yunhan rubbed his eyebrows: "Shouldn't the priest's private treasury be built in the priest's palace? How could it go there?"
Gu Fenglin said: "Are you stupid? Did you hide your money in the Medicine Hall? Or did you hide it all at home?"
Mu Yunhan smiled "hehe". Her money was hidden in three places, one in Meizhou, one in the capital, and one in her hometown of Shoushan Town.
How can a cunning rabbit eat three pots in one pot?
Gu Fenglin put the key into her hand: "Take it, I don't think there will be any more priests in the future. I feel more at ease if you manage this money."
Mu Yunhan was not polite and accepted it directly.
Qingfeng came quickly: "Sir, King Shou came out of the palace... He didn't deliver any orders, nor did he say what official position he would be given.
However, all the imperial guards who had been surrounding Prince Shou's Mansion withdrew, and all supply matters for the Prince's Mansion were resumed.
In addition, His Majesty has decreed that for Princess Huaixing and Prince Wukun of Baoshan, the Ministry of Rites has ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the dowry according to the princess etiquette."
Gu Fenglin looked calm: "I understand."
Qingfeng was a little anxious: "Also, Meng Jia led a group of soldiers out of the city just now. I heard that they were heading to the border, with the purpose of rewarding His Majesty's troops."
It is a lie to reward the army, but it is true to quietly take over the frontier army in place of General Meng Wu.
The emperor was really resolute and accomplished many things overnight.
Huaixing and Wukun were close, and Wukun happened to be between Qi and Zhao, and there were many brave cavalry.
Cavalry is what Zhao State lacks most. If King Wukun is willing to cooperate with Zhao State, it will be a powerful check on Qi State.
There is also a guarantee for peace negotiations.
Any minister with some discernment can see who this is aimed at.
Gu Fenglin waved his hand and ordered Qingfeng to go down, while Mu Yunhan sighed silently.
Who would have thought that the emperor who was firmly opposed to peace negotiations at the beginning and was at odds with Meng Xiang for this reason would now firmly advocate peace negotiations after Meng Xiang's death?
Gu Fenglin stood up: "I have to discuss it with my staff."
Mu Yunhan nodded: "You go."
She was worried that he would be angry and sad, so she sent him to the door of the yard: "No matter what, I will accompany you."
Gu Fenglin smiled: "Don't worry, I won't get into trouble."
He even made a joke: "At least he doesn't like to give all kinds of poison to priests like the late emperor did."
Mu Yunhan said: "This joke is not funny at all."
It doesn't happen now, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future.
Gu Fenglin suppressed her smile, touched her forehead, and left quickly.
On the third day, the decree about King Shou finally came down, but instead of going to the Ministry of Household Affairs to contact taxes as everyone had guessed, it was placed at Honglu Temple.
Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign affairs and reception.
At this point, the emperor's intention was clear: he wanted to negotiate peace.
