Emperor Yan of Ming Dynasty was furious and ordered the prince to investigate the matter personally.
Cabinet scholar Chen Yunxin, Zuo Du censor Meng Kaicheng, Dali Temple Minister Li Zhengting, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Xu Qing and others jointly investigated and dealt with the matter. At the same time, Duke Rong Huo Qijing was ordered to lead the Yulin army to assist.
1. The administrators involved in the matter, such as the successive ministers of household affairs, ministers, treasury managers, and the annual treasury censors, etc., are required to listen to inquiries at any time.
It was not until 15 o'clock in the afternoon that Emperor Yan withdrew from the court. Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty was still furious.
An imperial doctor had been waiting for him to take his pulse. Emperor Ming Yan closed his eyes and calmed down for a long time before asking: "Where is Yue'er?"
Gu Jiuxing looked at his expression and replied hurriedly: "Back to the emperor, your highness has nothing to do. The queen is with you! Your highness said that she was thinking about Yonghe Palace and was afraid... She said this, what is it called?
What's wrong with the injury?"
Emperor Ming Yan frowned and asked, "What?"
Gu Jiuxing hurriedly knelt down and replied: "It's no use, I never remembered that name. His Highness just said that after experiencing very scary things, and then encountering similar things again, he will be extra scared and can't control himself."
live."
Emperor Ming Yan nodded slightly: "I saw something was wrong with her! She was totally lost! She was really scared last time!"
Gu Jiuxing was well versed in the art of speaking. He first attracted Emperor Ming Yan's thoughts and then said: "It's a happy event unexpectedly."
Emperor Ming Yan sneered: "What kind of happy event can there be at this time!"
Gu Jiuxing smiled anxiously and said: "The imperial doctor said that His Highness is pregnant and has been dating for more than a month."
"Oh?" Emperor Ming Yan was delighted: "It's really a happy event."
While talking, someone announced that Yan Shiyue was here.
Emperor Ming Yan called in. As soon as she came in, she ran over and hugged his arm: "Aye, aye!"
Emperor Ming Yan touched her head: "Don't be afraid, I'm fine."
Until this moment, Yan Shiyue still felt uncontrollable heart palpitations. She hugged him hard for a while, then took a long breath and said seriously: "Aye, you must promise me something."
"Um."
Yan Shiyue said: "Aye is not allowed to die before I die."
After saying death to the emperor, the imperial doctor and Gu Jiuxing were so frightened that they knelt down. Emperor Ming Yan was not angry. He touched her head and sighed after a while: "You silly boy, this kind of thing
…”
She pursed her lips and tears slowly filled her eyes: "Promise me! Promise me! Aye!"
"Okay," Emperor Ming Yan sighed, "I promise you."
He gently touched her head: "Didn't you say you're happy? But you can't cry anymore. You're going to have a good life and don't have to worry about it. Do you know that?"
"Yeah." Yan Shiyue nodded, while complaining: "If I had known you had such a bad tolerance, I wouldn't have told you!"
With one word, the father's kindness and son's filial piety were broken up, and Emperor Ming Yan slapped her angrily: "That's the treasury! That's more than 7 million taels! Not 700 taels! Not 70,000 taels!"
"I know! I know the matter is serious." Yan Shiyue said seriously: "Aye, I want to ask you a question."
"Um."
"Gorgeous illusion or cruel reality, which one does Aye think is better?"
How could Emperor Ming Yan not understand what she meant.
He also answered seriously: "I want the truth, no matter how cruel it is, I want the truth."
Yan Shiyue nodded, then knelt down and said with a serious face: "Unworthy Yue'er, I hereby issue a military order. Within three years, we will earn ten million taels of silver for the national treasury. If we fail to do so,
When I arrive, I will donate all the money I get from my business to the national treasury! I won’t leave a penny behind!”
Emperor Ming Yan was both angry and funny.
But the haze that was weighing on my heart was blown away bit by bit: "Okay, this is not your fault. Get up quickly."
"No, I'm serious."
She had never been so serious in her life! She called Qi Julang over and forced him to help write it, then signed and sealed it, and then forced Emperor Ming Yan to also use his seal.
In duplicate, it is written on the paper that in three years' time, on May 8th, the 14th year of the Ming Dynasty, the government will earn ten million taels of silver for the national treasury.
After finishing writing, he ordered Gu Jiuxing to take two boxes and put them in them. Only then did Yan Shiyue remember and said, "But whatever I want to do, Aye, you have to support me!"
"It's too late!" Emperor Ming Yan glared at her. "When I was writing, I didn't say anything. I just rushed forward. After I finished writing, I didn't admit it! I'm waiting to confiscate your money and add it to the national treasury!"
Yan Shiyue hehehe: "It doesn't matter, Aye, you can use it if you want! Give it all to Aye!"
Emperor Ming Yan: "..."
Gu Jiuxing spoke cautiously: "Your Highness, the Emperor hasn't had his meal yet."
"Oh," Yan Shiyue touched her belly: "I haven't eaten either. I didn't eat yesterday. Please set the food quickly. I'll go and take a nap after eating."
Emperor Ming Yan's health was already in excellent condition, but it had deteriorated a lot since the last time he was poisoned. This time, he was so angry that his condition was even worse.
But with Yan Shiyue here, all the anger and stagnation in her stomach, which she made jokes and issued military orders, were all washed away, and there was no longer the "frustration in the heart" that imperial doctors often said. Although it still needed to be nursed back to health, it was not too bad after all.
Seriously, it's a blessing among misfortunes.
Yan Shiyue was indeed tired. After having dinner with Emperor Ming Yan, he went back to sleep.
As I was drifting off to sleep, I felt someone lying next to me.
Yan Shiyue relied on instinct and muttered: "Ah Jing." While wrapping her around, Huo Qijing carefully positioned her, kissed her face with satisfaction, and closed his eyes to sleep.
When she woke up, he was already gone.
Yan Shiyue only felt tired and panicked, and closed her eyes again, wanting to sleep for a while.
But I heard someone outside say: "Hello, Fourth Master, our master hasn't gotten up yet."
The fourth prince's voice said: "What time is it and you haven't gotten up yet?"
Weixin said: "Master was busy all night yesterday and was frightened again. The imperial doctor ordered him to have a good rest."
"Sure," the fourth prince said, "Then go in and wait."
He came in.
Yan Shiyue opened his eyes when he heard the voice. Weixin hurriedly stepped forward to serve him. After Yan Shiyue washed up and changed clothes, when he entered the palace, the fourth prince was standing in the palace with his hands behind his back. When he heard the voice, he turned around.
Come.
Yan Shiyue asked someone to serve food while asking him: "Fourth brother, have you had your breakfast?"
The fourth prince glared at her: "What time is it! The morning court has dispersed! It's almost time for lunch!"
She said indifferently: "Do you have a problem with me?"
The fourth prince said: "What happened last night, the more I think about it, the more thrilling it becomes! Now that our country, Yan, is rich and powerful, its people are prosperous, and peace is everywhere, who would have thought that such a shocking thing would happen? If you hadn't been clever, after checking the treasury once and finding no results,
One can also imagine that such a huge deficit may continue to be hidden from the public... One day, future generations will want to use the national treasury silver, but find that there is no silver available... That situation is really unimaginable."
Yan Shiyue looked at him but said nothing.
The fourth prince said again: "Today in the morning at court, I made a request to cast all the silver in the treasury into silver bricks." (To be continued)
