Chapter 481 Lobbyist, one after another
Xin Ruo smiled and walked towards the gate with Zhan Moyu. When they reached the gate, the queen's car had just stopped.

The second prince sat on the horseback, Xin Ruo and Zhan Moyu saluted the two, the second prince got off the horse, and the queen also got off the chariot.

Looking at the gate of King Funing, the empress smiled and said, "I don't even remember when I came back to King Funing's mansion last time, it really looks extraordinary."

Xin Ruo smiled, "The empress is full of praise, the empress is used to the majesty of the imperial palace, the palace is so magnificent today because of the presence of the empress."

The queen raised her eyebrows and looked at Xin Ruo, while the second prince over there covered her mouth, but the corners of Zhan Moyu's mouth twitched.

At this time, there was a voice from a corner, "You really know how to flatter, and you have kissed the wrong person. The palace's grandeur is due to the presence of this prince!"

Xin Ruo listened to the voice of the thirteenth prince, but she didn't see anyone, the second prince also followed the voice, and the queen also wondered, when did Luo Er leave the palace.

Just as she was wondering, there was a thumping sound from the pedestal of the queen's luanjia, "Hurry up and open it for my prince, you want to suffocate me!"

The little father-in-law of the thirteenth prince over there hurried up, and the thirteenth prince crawled out from under the base, looking dizzy, "I won't hide under it anymore, it's black and dark."

After finishing speaking, he reprimanded the father-in-law who drove the carriage, "Do you want to be punished? Is there a driver like you? My prince's head has been hit seven or eight times. Next time you bump the queen, be careful that I will slap you."

The queen looked at the thirteenth prince's crooked hair crown and climbed up the base in front of so many people, her face was a little ugly.

The second prince over there hurriedly went to help him down, "Luoer, why are you hiding in here, just come out and say no."

The thirteenth prince stood on the ground and couldn't help shaking his feet. Hearing what the second prince said, he couldn't help baring his teeth.

"The queen mother said that she came to the palace to do business, and I only came to get in the way, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a bad plan. Oh, don't say it, I'm dizzy, I'll go in and find a place to rest and relax."

As the thirteenth prince said, he walked towards the palace with the support of his little father-in-law, completely invisible.

When passing by Xin Ruo, there was a word of excuse, Xin Ruo's eyes trembled, she didn't intend to salute him!
The queen rubbed her temples, Luo Er is too courageous, she should not cause any trouble in the future, if she slips out of the palace like this, if the emperor finds out, it will be strange if she doesn't get scolded.

Xin Ruo and Zhan Moyu hurriedly invited the queen and the second prince to go in. Before the thirteen princes entered the palace, Zilan led the way. They didn't go to Jiangzixuan, but stayed in the main room.

When Xin Ruo waited for the main room, the thirteenth prince was sitting on a chair with his head tilted. Zi Lan was rubbing medicine on his forehead, and his forehead was blackened.

Because the thirteen princes covered it with their hands before, the empress didn't see it.

Looking at it now, I don't care about so many people, I just poked it with my hand, and the thirteenth prince jumped, "Queen, it hurts a lot!"

"It's good to know that it hurts. Go back and see if your father doesn't hit you, and see if you dare to drill there next time."

"I knew I was wrong a long time ago, and I regretted it just now. You handle your business and just pretend that I don't exist. I am more familiar with this palace than you."

The queen gave the thirteenth prince a hard look, and then sat down. The second prince sat down in front of the thirteenth prince, looking at the bruise on the thirteenth prince's forehead and the dust on his body.

I really want to reprimand him a few words, but I am concerned that he is the prince, and I want to make up for this reprimand when I go back.

Over there, Xin Ruo looked at the thirteenth prince, with a trace of schadenfreude in his eyes, the thirteenth prince rolled his eyes and bared his teeth, Xin Ruo glanced at the queen, "I don't know what the empress is here today?"

The queen looked at Xin Ruo, feeling a bit embarrassed to speak, the thirteenth prince over there was more open-minded.

He blurted out, "It's a big deal, but the father thinks that the mother is a little bit bigger than him in you, and asked the mother to come forward to ask you to borrow food. It's borrowing, not buying."

The thirteenth prince said, pouted, "Mother, some time ago, I heard my father said that the harem should not be involved in politics, and I just let you take care of the affairs of the harem. It's not your business to borrow food, he The words are different, you should pay less attention to him, I..."

The thirteenth prince poured out all the words he wanted to say in the queen's palace like pouring beans, but it was a pity that he only poured half of it. The second prince took a piece of cake and stuffed the thirteenth prince's mouth.

The thirteenth prince's eyes were full of anger, and he spat out the pastry on the ground, "Second brother, I didn't expect you to be such a person, father is wrong in the first place.

If the two prime ministers on the left and right couldn't do it, he would give it to his mother. Why didn't he think about his mother when good things happened.

You still help him, I despise you, who in the harem has more face than the imperial concubine, why don't you see him looking for the imperial concubine, and you know how to bully the empress mother. "

After the thirteenth prince finished speaking, he glanced at Xin Ruo, "Don't promise the queen mother, anyway, this matter is difficult to handle, if it can't be done, the emperor father has nothing to say.

When he turned around and asked Concubine Wen to do it, you lost your temper. I know that you have put up with her for a long time. "

After the thirteenth prince finished speaking, he swept his eyes around the room, "Who dares to spread what this prince said just now, I pulled out his tongue!"

The thirteenth prince finished speaking in one go, and then sat down to drink tea and eat pastries.

No matter how much the second prince blasted him with his eyes, he just ignored him. Xin Ruo couldn't help giving him a thumbs up secretly with such a boldness, saying what he wanted to say, and threatening after finishing speaking.

Whoever dares to spread the word, he will pull out their tongues, but the thirteenth prince is filial to the queen, the emperor only dotes on Concubine Wen, and she, the queen, probably suffered a lot of grievances.

She didn't dare to say anything, the thirteenth prince dared to say anything, the second prince over there gave the thirteenth prince a hard look, and bowed to Xin Ruo and Zhan Moyu, "The thirteenth prince is young and ignorant, so close him here Can't wait..."

Xin Ruo shook his head to interrupt him, and said with a smile, "The thirteenth prince is filial, so he is ignorant. Although the matter of the border is urgent, Xin Ruo and Xianggong have explained clearly to the two prime ministers what should be said.

The emperor should be clear that it is indeed embarrassing for the empress to let the empress do this as a lobbyist. After all, Banyuefang is a commercial workshop. If it is too affectionate, it will not last long.

Everything has to be done according to the rules. I can't borrow food, but how many 10 taels of silver can I borrow? "

It's not that they don't lend, and it's not that they don't give the queen face, but it's a well-known fact that businessmen value profits.

50 dan was not a small amount, and the empress had some face, but it was definitely not so large.

Xin Ruo said that it was a compromise to borrow money, and the second prince had nothing to say after hearing that, there was no food or money in the court, and the court was also raising money, and the soldiers at the border had to be paid, otherwise the morale of the army would have to be broken. Can't be distracted.

The thirteenth prince nodded viciously, "It's good to borrow the money, it's considered a favor to the father, but it seems a little insufficient for you to lend 50 taels of silver to the queen mother.

Let me do the math, a soldier is one tael or five taels of silver a month, and he hasn’t been paid for three months. The border guards are 15, and the dead are [-]. Each dead subsidizes ten taels of silver. How much silver is it? "

The second prince is also counting, but this amount of money is not a small amount. It is good that Banyuefang is rich, but the military salary alone is already a million taels of silver.

In addition to the food that the imperial court had to borrow no matter what, what would the imperial court repay in the future, and why should Banyuefang lend it to the imperial court.

This is still owed by the court to those soldiers. It is not known how long the war with Dong Lie will last, and the court is afraid that it will be heavily in debt.

The second prince couldn't help but sigh as he thought about it, and glanced at Zhan Moyu and Xin Ruo, Xin Ruo said to borrow a few 10 taels, but these were far from enough.

Xin Ruo's eyes widened when he heard the calculations of the thirteenth prince Balabala, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

The imperial court is really poor, Zhan Moyu said a word over there.

"Father is dealing with the matter of the military pay. Before, the father took out 100 million taels, which was used for military pay. The emperor used it for other purposes. Let the emperor talk to the father himself."

Xin Ruo was taken aback when he heard that, is the prince handling the matter of military pay?

The second prince over there was a little puzzled and overjoyed when he heard that King Funing handed over 100 million taels of silver to the emperor. The government and the public heard about it. It was rumored that King Funing's mansion was as rich as an enemy, and it seemed to be true.

It's just that it was used for military pay, and the emperor used it for other purposes, and what was it used for?
Hearing Xiaoyu's words, the prince has the money in his hand, but the father didn't use it as the military salary as he said, which made the prince angry, so he deliberately withheld it?

It's no wonder that in the past two days, the emperor asked if he had anything to do, and King Funing was back.

The matter came to an end here, and Xin Ruo and Zhan Moyu personally sent the queen and the second prince away.

After sending them off, Xin Ruocai asked Zhan Moyu, "Is the money from those mines specially used for military pay?"

Zhan Moyu nodded, "It should be, I checked the account books for the past few years, and every year, two or three million silver was taken away by my father.

It should be the payment of military salaries. As for whether the silver used elsewhere in Dayu needs to be taken from the minerals, I don't know. "

Xin Ruo frowned, "Since the military salary has to be taken from the father, why is it still owed for three months? Wasn't the 100 million taels that the father gave the emperor last time enough? The emperor didn't send it to the soldiers at the border. What did you do?"

Zhan Moyu didn't know either, he only knew that the emperor took 20 taels to buy the iron box of Funing Palace and they seized it.

Then there are still 80 taels. It is not easy for him to check where the emperor used the money. Anyway, it is right that it is not used on the soldiers at the border.

Because of this, the father was angry, and if the emperor did not give an explanation, he would not spend money again.

There is a fixed amount of money paid for those mines every year, and the payment is also the military salary for the next three months.

Zhan Moyu told Xin Ruo all this, and Xin Ruo became more and more aware of the status of Funing Palace in Dayu.

The guard Dayu is not just talking about it, he has to have real things in his hands, that is, some minerals, if all the money is handed over to the treasury, I am afraid that he will be almost defeated.

When the time comes, the Three Kingdoms will be in chaos and the treasury will have no money. How will we deal with the war?

So this expenditure is in the hands of the prince. Although the military power is not in the hands of the prince, the money is in the hands of the prince, which means that half of the power in the war is in the hands of the prince.
