Of the two brothers, one pretended to be ashamed and blamed himself, and the other lamented and felt deeply. After talking about it, both shed tears.
Sheng Hongzi returned home.
After crying for a long time, Sheng Hong's eyes were slightly red, and his handsome face showed a disgusting look as if he had eaten a fly: "Tonight has really made me sick."
"This Sheng Che, now that he is sitting on the dragon's throne, has not shown any other abilities. He is actually more pretentious than before."
"Seeing that he couldn't stop me from going to the feudal land, he was pretending to be reluctant to give up, and at the same time he was slandering me, implying that I should not interfere with matters in the capital after I go to the feudal land."
"Pooh!"
"If I really wanted to seize power, how could he sit on the throne in my turn! My mind is smaller than the tip of a needle, it's really despising me!"
Sheng Hong is usually fun and easy-going, and when he is alone with Xie Mingxi in private, he is even more playful and smiling. It is rare to see someone with such an angry face as at this moment.
Xie Mingxi reached out and touched Sheng Hong's angry face and whispered softly: "Besides, has he made things difficult for you again?"
Sheng Hong snorted again: "Crying to me all the time. He said that the treasury was not full. My father had just been buried, and the court was organizing the new emperor's enthronement ceremony and the empress' concubine ceremony one after another, which cost a lot of money."
When a vassal king wants to become a vassal, he must first have a very generous amount of "money to settle down". Not to mention anything else, a thousand guards from the Prince of Shu's palace will go with him to the land of Shu. It will cost a lot of money to eat, drink and wear clothes along the way. When they arrive in the land of Shu,
It is necessary to build a proper palace of the Prince of Shu. To build the palace according to the regulations of the feudal prince's palace, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Ling Ling finally came down, a vassal king became a vassal, and the court had to allocate a million taels of silver no matter what!
Emperor Jian'an obviously had no such plan. He cried for a long time and then said: "... When the seventh brother goes to join the vassal, no matter how empty the treasury is, he still has to allocate money. I will instruct the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow to prepare 200,000 taels of silver for the seventh brother.
It is used for the settlement of the feudal lord."
Just two hundred thousand fucking taels!
That look of compassion and brotherly love really made Sheng Hong sick to his core.
However, it was rare that Emperor Jian'an was willing to let him go and join the feudal vassal. Now he couldn't care less about it. Sheng Hong tried his best to show a grateful expression, and after some dealings with Emperor Jian'an, he resigned.
At this time, Sheng Hong said to Xie Mingxi in a depressed tone: "This is just the beginning. If I'm not mistaken, there will definitely be other things like this later."
It's not a big deal, it's just that I deliberately try to spite him.
Sheng Hong was never one to swallow his anger, and Xie Mingxi was even less so.
Xie Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "The king of the vassal has his own rules for becoming a vassal. This matter is not decided by him alone. You don't say anything for the time being. After a while, you can ask for the vassal by yourself. Wait.
Let’s talk about it after His Majesty issues the imperial edict.”
The feudal king has precedents to consult regarding the regulatory fees of the feudal clan. The Ministry of Rites is responsible for this matter.
Xie Jun is now the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, so he can help.
Sheng Hong obviously thought of his father-in-law, and his expression softened slightly: "Isn't it bad to involve my father-in-law?"
Xie Jun is not a righteous person. He may not be willing to do this!
Xie Mingxi twitched the corners of her lips and smiled leisurely: "As your son-in-law, you have worked hard to promote him to the position of Minister of Rites. Now, it is time for him, the father-in-law, to contribute. There is no reason in this world to only enjoy blessings but not to contribute."
Sheng Hong silently lit a candle for his father-in-law.
Xie Jun, who was far away in Xie's Mansion, shuddered in his sleep.
