Chapter 215 Chapter 32-1 Borrowing Money

That Maha was only slightly injured, so I only have seven days to deal with him by activating the power of the Black Dragon Jade through the wraith?But I don't know where this Maha is, how can I lure him out?
This night, I'm afraid I'm not the only one who can't sleep in the Hou Mansion.Mingyan must be sad in the room. I strictly ordered Tiewei not to reveal what happened that night. Although Tiewei didn't dare to ask or make wild guesses about Mr. Fu's disappearance from the carriage, he must also feel strange in his heart.After thinking about it all night, after dawn, I went to the old man and reported to him what happened last night. At the same time, I hoped to hear his ideas.

The old man didn't express much emotion towards Mr. Fu's death. He has lived to his age and experienced too many things, not to mention that he grew up in a big family like the Yun family who were intriguing. The ability to collapse in front of you without changing your face.God is sorry to see you, why did I think that the Yun family is special at first, and the Yun family is harmonious?Is it because Yun Zheng protected me so well that I didn't see the ugliness of the Hou Men's deep courtyard early?Yun Zheng, I miss you, but sometimes, I hate you, I really hate you...

"Grandpa, Mr. Fu said that the people in the second room were very likely to conspire with outsiders to harm Yunzheng. What do you think about this?" I am eager to know the analysis of the old man. With his shrewdness, at least a few suspects should be locked down Talent is right.The old man glanced at me lightly, smiled slightly, with a noncommittal expression.I urged in doubt: "Grandpa..."

"Girl, I would like to know, how do you lure Maha out in only seven days?" The old man ignored my question and asked me instead.I thought about it, and the only one who can induce Maha to show up is probably today. I know that the emperor has the intention of saving Ji. If I can ask him to activate the divine cauldron within seven days, then Maha will definitely do something. Black Dragon Jade will be able to exert its power... I only heard the old man say slowly: "There are priorities, girl..."

"I understand, Grandpa." I stood up, "I will enter the palace immediately."

While waiting for the order at the palace gate, the empress dowager invited those who were not waiting for the emperor.Although I was anxious, I didn't dare not to see her, but I didn't know that the queen mother called me, so what's the matter?After saluting, the Empress Dowager gave her a seat and said with a smile: "Ye girl, you are here at a good time, I happen to have something and want to hear your thoughts."

I don't know why, so I just heard the queen mother say: "Girl, the emperor's draft has been going on for a while, and I think these children this year are just like your Yun family's Xiangrong's appearance, character, bearing, and family background. They are the most suitable for me. How do you feel about the burden of motherhood?"

I was a little surprised, the queen mother meant that she wanted to establish Xiangrong as the queen?Although she also mentioned this matter to me last time, but she didn't say anything in detail, how could she praise her so nakedly this time?What's more, it's not up to me to decide who to make the empress, and to discuss with anyone. What's the purpose of the empress dowager suddenly doing this?How should I answer it?If it was before, I would definitely not object to it, and I would also get rid of the Queen Mother's old idea that I want to have something to do with the emperor.However, after knowing that Yunzheng's murder is inseparable from the people in the second room, and after knowing the ambitions of the people in the second room, how can I tolerate the second room having a queen?
"Your Majesty, this concubine thinks it's inappropriate." I thought for a while, risking being misunderstood by the Queen Mother, I can't let Xiangrong be the queen.

"Oh?" The queen mother obviously didn't expect me to refuse so directly, her expression was slightly startled, "What's the reason?"

"Your Majesty must know that we, Xiangrong, were married before." I considered the words in my mind, "I think Rong is blessed, but her fiancé passed away before getting married. But in the end, De Rong has something to lose, sitting on the empress position may not be convincing to the public, and it will damage the emperor's holy name."

The uncle regretted the Mo family's marriage at the beginning, and delayed the age of his granddaughter. Yun Xiangrong entered the palace at the "old age" of nineteen, which was already a laughing stock in the palace and "evidence" that she "followed the power" and "climbed the dragon and the phoenix".In such a snobbish place like the imperial palace, Xiang Rong might not have an easy life. Once she takes the position of harem lord, she will only become the target of public criticism. Only then will she know how the word "death" is written.

"What should I do?" The Queen Mother smiled nonchalantly, "I don't think Rong Fu is thin, but her blessing is thick. Her fiancé just couldn't bear her blessing, so he died long ago. Such a blessing, of course. Only the emperor can bear it."

It's up to her to say life and death, I smiled unnaturally, not knowing how to deal with it.Seeing that I was not overjoyed, the Queen Mother's face darkened slightly: "Ye girl, do you have other ideas?"

"The Empress Dowager Mingjian." I was startled, knowing that the Empress Dowager was suspicious again, so I quickly knelt down and said, "The concubine is really worried about damaging the emperor's holy name, and the concubine is completely out of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and has absolutely no selfishness. .”

"Look, you're in a hurry, get up and sit down." The queen mother chuckled, "Of course I know that you are out of a heart of loyalty and patriotism. The Yun family has been loyal and loyal to the court for generations, and I understand it in my heart."

I breathed a sigh of relief, Xie En sat down, and the queen mother said unhurriedly: "Ye girl, the Yun family has done a lot for the court over the years, and this palace will keep it in mind. The war against Yaoyue Kingdom left the national treasury empty, and it was your Yun family who took the money to help the court tide over the difficulties; in the 13th year of Xiande, there was a severe drought in Chaozhou, and it was your Yun family who took the lead in donating money and helping the court a lot; Xiande In 17, your Yun family raised a large sum of money for the South China Sea Anti-Japanese Army...Girl, I will always remember the achievements of your Yun family over the years."

Remember, it may not be a good thing.I was secretly startled, it turned out that the imperial court would ask the Yun family for a sum of money every few years under the pretense?I don't know if this is the royal family's method to prevent the expansion of the Yun family's power?The queen mother brought up these things for no reason, could it be... I was a little confused, could it be that she wanted to ask the Yun family for money again?That's why she couldn't wait to show her favor to the Yun family?But if the emperor wants to ask the Yun family for money, can he just say a word?Unless the number is so large that the Yun family might refuse, that's why you made a wish for the Yun family?
I immediately knew, since I have the bargaining chip in my hand, why not negotiate with you?Listening calmly to the Queen Mother enumerating the achievements of the Yun family, a noncommittal smile appeared on the corner of my lips.

The queen mother said a lot, but I just smiled lightly and didn't say a word, I wanted to see who was in a hurry first.Sure enough, seeing that I didn't respond at all, the queen mother lost her temper: "Ye girl, I'm looking for you today because I have something to do. I want to ask your Yun family for help."

"The empress dowager speaks too seriously." I saw her talking to such a point, but I didn't dare to take power, so I hurriedly said, "Dare to ask why the empress dowager bothers you?"

"I heard that the Jiangnan governor gave the emperor a few days ago. The profiteers in the south hoarded salt and rice for profit. Now the price of rice and salt has skyrocketed, and there are many people complaining. The imperial court can't think of raising these useless officials. The only way to solve the problem is to ask the court for money to buy salt rice at a high price.” The queen mother slapped the table angrily and said, “The court experienced the chaos in northern Xinjiang a few years ago. I have taxed the whole country for three years, and now that the national treasury is not rich, how can I spend money to waste those useless fools!" , support the author, support genuine reading!)
