The concubine is so charming

Chapter 834 The face is swollen

Mu Qingchen's face was cold, and an extremely restrained expression flashed across his face: "You think that the eldest princess and the side-by-side king have too much power, but in fact, Huitong Bank has been handed over to my people to take care of it, and even the previous news They also refused to accept it, because I was worried about something happening to the eldest princess and the side-by-side king, so I specially ordered someone to send a copy of the news to them."

"This……"

"Weichen and others have never heard of it..."

Mu Qingchen sneered: "Of course you haven't heard of it, because there is a decree in the court that officials are not allowed to compete with the people for profit. The eldest princess and the side-by-side king are worried that after the people know that the Huitong Bank is in charge of me, the people will be worried. If you have doubts, you won’t be as at ease as before. Secondly, you are worried that someone with a heart will use them to make troubles and damage my majesty in the hearts of the people. Therefore, the succession work is carried out in secret. None of the courtiers know about it."

"Your Majesty, the chief treasurer of Huitong Bank is already waiting outside the hall."

"Announce him in."

"Yes."

A well-built middle-aged man walked in: "Qian Fu, the chief treasurer of Caomin Huitong Bank, pays his respects to the emperor."

"Tell me, my lords, when the Huitong Bank changed hands."

"Reporting to the emperor, the Huitong Bank was founded by the king and shoulders, and then experienced a major turmoil and was almost closed. Eight years ago, the bank was re-built and reopened. After that, it has been operating steadily for nearly a year and a half. The emperor's people began to take over gradually, and it lasted for almost half a year before the replacement of the banks in various places was completed. These things are reflected in the account books of various places. If you don't believe me, you can browse through those books with the emperor's consent. ledger."

Mu Qingchen looked at the silent courtiers in the hall: "I've shown you the letters from the eldest princess and the side-by-side king, and it's okay to let you take a look at the account books, but there are too many account books, and I've already let people read them." It is placed in a palace alone, whoever wants to see it, just go and check it."

"Wei Chen dare not."

Many of the officials who questioned Mu Qingchen before had pale faces and sweat on their foreheads: That is the Huitong Bank. It controls the world's money exchanges, and it can almost be said to control the lifeblood of the entire Da'an Dynasty. to the emperor.

"In addition to Huitong Bank, the one you mentioned most is Ghost Doctor Valley." Mu Qingchen continued, "I can tell you very clearly that even if all of you resign and leave the court, I will not treat Ghost Doctor What does Gu do. Do you know why?"

The courtiers in the palace did not dare to speak, but secretly guessed in their hearts that it was because of the eldest princess.

Mu Qingchen sneered again, with a penetrating chill in her eyes: "I know what you are thinking, do you all think that I am looking at the princess's face? If you think so, you are very wrong! You only see that the Ghost Doctor Valley is growing from strength to strength, but do you know how many homeless orphans the Ghost Doctor Valley has adopted over the years? How many pharmacies have been opened in various places that ordinary people can walk in with confidence? How many doctors from the Ghost Doctor Valley traveled around the Da'an Dynasty? How many people have received their treatment and favor?"

Hubu Shangshu bowed his head deeply, his face was full of guilt: "I am guilty, please punish me."

"It seems that the Minister of the Household Department knows something. After all, you are in charge of the Household Department and have a lot of contact with the people... Why don't you let the adults explain their doubts?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister is ashamed, please punish him."

"If I punish you directly, many people in the court will think that I am helping the eldest princess. It is better to make it clear at once! It is the ghost doctor Gu who has evil intentions in your mouth, adopts nearly a thousand orphans every year, and prevents them Homeless. After these years of development, where there is Huitong Bank, there are drug stores in Ghost Doctor Valley, but for so many years, the drugstores opened by Ghost Doctor Valley have never made a profit. The doctors of the ghost doctor sit in the pharmacy, and the common people don't have to suffer when they get sick, and they don't have to worry that one person's illness will drag down the whole family... The ghost doctor Gu doctors have helped tens of thousands of people. Dare I say, The reason why the Da'an Dynasty has developed smoothly to the present is due to Ghost Doctor Gu!"

"This... I only know that Ghost Doctor Unit has opened many pharmacies, but I never thought that so many people would benefit from it..."

"Yeah, it's obviously an extremely obvious thing, why didn't anyone think about it carefully before?"

Mu Qingchen sneered: "Do you want to know the reason? It's very simple, that is, your eldest princess, who has been criticizing you, has repeatedly asked the disciples of Ghost Doctor Valley to never use the name of Ghost Doctor Valley when they go out to practice medicine. The pharmacy is nominally run by the court for the common people. So the court’s reputation among the common people is getting higher and higher day by day, and the life of you officials is getting better every day!"

"The ministers are guilty. They almost misunderstood the eldest princess and the side-by-side king. Please punish the emperor!"

Some officials knelt on the ground, raised their sleeves to cover their faces, and were so ashamed that they couldn't bear it.

But Mu Qingchen didn't intend to just let it go like this: "Which adult said just now, saying that the side-by-side king didn't want the emperor's seat before, maybe he wants to now? Who said it?"

The courtiers knelt on the ground, and no one dared to stand up and admit it.

"Then I will tell you one more thing. This seat was given up by King Side Shoulder. After that, he even handed over the hidden guards left by Emperor Deyuan to my hands. If he intends to rebel, it is just this A group of hidden guards is enough to turn the entire capital upside down!"

The courtiers felt that their faces were swollen from the beating, and they knelt on the ground and dared not make a sound.

Mu Qingchen stood up, and her footsteps seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart: "You all enter the court as officials. You can be blind in your eyes, but you can't be blind in your heart, especially some veteran officials in the court. Knowing a lot of things, there will always be worries of one kind or another. I can clearly tell each of you that the eldest princess is my own sister, not to mention that she is only thinking about me and the Daan Dynasty, even if she really has the intention of seizing power and plotting rebellion. Xin, without her asking, I will willingly give up this seat!"

"The emperor calm down! You must not say this easily!"

"The emperor thinks twice..."

"I'm not trying to get mad at you! I have been with my sister since I was ten years old. If it weren't for her, I would have died many times. She raised me up, taught me how to behave, and how to be a king." Dao, without her, I would never be where I am today. Besides, King Side by Side, he is not only my brother-in-law, but also my senior brother! We also learned from Mr. Ning Ge, and the teacher's teachings are always in our hearts. When the teacher is gone, we Brothers and sisters should work together, if anyone sows discord for no reason in the future, I will be the first to pull out his tongue!"
