Daughter of a High Sect: Abandoned Concubine Reborn

Chapter 59
In the morning court today, the emperor wanted to severely punish those merchants who paid the tribute late, including the Wei family.

Seeing Xuanyuan Qiche mentioning the Wei family, his eyes were about to burst into flames, Ouyang Jinxuan thought bitterly, the Wei family will finally pay for what they did, those pair of hands behind his back Clenched hands gently.

This time, the Wei family will definitely be destroyed and disappear forever in the Dajin Dynasty!There was a cold light in Ouyang Jinxuan's eyes, but he lowered his head, no one noticed his strangeness.

However, the fact is not what he thought, he was too happy after all, what happened next was beyond his expectation, the Wei family, who should have been accused of disrespecting the royal family and arrogance to wealth, Not only was he not guilty, but he became a meritorious minister. The emperor praised the Wei family in front of the courtiers.

Everything was actually going in the opposite direction, he looked up at Xuanyuan Qiche who was sitting on the dragon chair in disbelief, Xuanyuan Qiche's lips opened and closed told him that he heard correctly, everything was true—— —

above the hall
Ouyang Jinxuan, who was here to watch a good show, stood quietly by the side without saying a word.He looked coldly at all civil and military officials and followed the emperor's words, "Businessman Wei Tianzheng thinks he dominates the business world in Jincheng. He has no royal family. It is really abominable if he doesn't pay tribute on time." What kind of punishment should be given to the Wei family.

Some said that he should be expelled from Jincheng, and some said that all his wealth should be confiscated and returned to the treasury.

The emperor noticed that Ouyang Jinxuan, who had been quietly standing aside from the beginning to the end without expressing any opinions, said, "Prime Minister, if I remember correctly, you have a very close relationship with the Wei family, and your eldest lady is It's Wei Tianzheng's only daughter, Wei Xinyu, so what do you think about it?" Xuanyuan Qiche's words seemed to be a question, but the cold light in his eyes was piercing to the bone, as if Ouyang Jinxuan's answer was not him. If he wanted the answer, he would fly into a rage.

Ouyang Jinxuan raised his head, with pain and struggle in his eyes, he respectfully stepped forward and knelt down, and said, "Your majesty, my humble minister—my father-in-law has done such a rebellious thing, my humble minister has nothing to say, let the emperor punish you!" .” His tone was a little choked, as if he was worried about the future of the Wei family.

Xuanyuan Qiche was obviously very satisfied with Ouyang Jinxuan's answer of "killing relatives with righteousness", and nodded appreciatively in his eyes.

At this time, Xuanyuan Jincheng slowly came out.

The second prince, Xuanyuan Jincheng, was dressed in a bright red court dress, and the jade crown on his head showed his noble status. There was no flaw in his handsome face carved like a knife, and his exquisite facial features were perfectly put together , black and white distinct phoenix eyes, seem to carry an evil spirit, sexy thin lips, hanging a faint smile.

He cupped his hands and bowed and said, "Father, my son has something to tell you." His voice was clear and hearty, with a man's unique hoarseness, which was as sweet as the sounds of nature.

Hearing this, all the ministers couldn't help but calm down, and looked at him with piercing eyes—this Dajin Dynasty, the evil prince who captivated all beings like a monster.Ouyang Jinxuan was no exception. He looked up at Xuanyuan Jincheng with doubts in his eyes, not knowing what the second prince wanted to report.

Xuanyuan Qiche on the Golden Luan Hall glanced suspiciously at Xuanyuan Jincheng, became curious, and said, "Oh? What does Chenger want to say?" Xuanyuan Qiche admired Xuanyuan Jincheng very much. When looking at him, his eyes The haze in the scene was obviously less, the originally tense lines on his face softened, and the tone of his speech could not help but bring a little kindness.

Upon receiving Xuanyuan Qiche's response, Xuanyuan Jincheng bowed lightly and said, "Yesterday, one of my minister's guards encountered heavy rain on his way, but happened to pass by the Weifu, so he stopped at the Weifu for a while. But I heard something in between??????"

When Xuanyuan Jincheng said this, he stopped on purpose, and glanced indifferently at Xuanyuan Qiche on the Golden Luan Hall.Xuanyuan Qiche showed a curious look on his face, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Xuanyuan Jincheng and waited for the next sentence.

Xuanyuan Jincheng continued, "The guard said that the Wei family's tribute was accidentally destroyed on the way??????"

Hearing the words, Xuanyuan Qiche frowned with thick eyebrows, and his face darkened a bit, he said quietly, "What does Cheng'er mean by these words?"

His eyes were tightly locked on Xuanyuan Jincheng, and his face darkened.Now, speaking for the Wei family is obviously the most taboo for Xuanyuan Qiche.

He looked at the son he admired the most on weekdays, with a slight disappointment in his eyes. Didn't he know that this heavy rain was just a great opportunity for him to get rid of those wealthy businessmen? Excuse me!
Xuanyuan Jincheng met Xuanyuan Qiche's sharp gaze calmly, and said calmly, "Father, although the Wei family's halfway tribute was destroyed this time, with their family property, we can prepare another one." Giving tribute is not a difficult task. However, although the heavy rain lasted only one day in Jincheng, other places, such as Wanzhou, Jingzhou and other places, have already fallen for a full month. The people there are displaced and no one cares about them. There are even refugees who fled thousands of miles to the imperial capital."

Xuanyuan Qiche on the dragon chair was startled when he heard the words, not knowing what Xuanyuan Jincheng meant by those words.His eyes were piercing, and those sword-like gazes coldly swept across the civil and military officials standing respectfully below.

Below, after listening to Xuanyuan Jincheng's words, a few people paused visibly.

Xuanyuan Qiche was very angry in his heart, the flood, the displacement of the people, such a big matter, no one has reported to him!Today, if it wasn't for Xuanyuan Jincheng's explanation, he might not know until the entire Wanzhou and Jingzhou are submerged!
Xuanyuan Jincheng continued, "The guard said that those refugees who wandered here have no means of living. It was the Wei family who gathered them together and gave them food and clothing. As a result, today's tribute was destroyed, and there was no time to make up for it. Hand it in."

At this time, the fifth prince Xuanyuan Jingyi stepped forward and said, "Father, after hearing what my second brother said, I secretly investigated and found out that there is indeed something wrong."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Qiche's face turned dark again, even Yi'er, who usually didn't care about the affairs of the court the most, knew about it.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Xuanyuan Qiche's mouth, and he said softly, "Who knows what Cheng'er said."

At that time, the hall was completely quiet, although his voice was small, it was very clear, lingering in the hall, with a chilling air, which made the officials below tremble with fear.All the officials looked at each other, but no one dared to say a word.

Xuanyuan Qiche looked at all the officials with lowered heads mockingly, they were really good courtiers of his, who forgot their duties in high positions!

His eyes stayed on Ouyang Jinxuan who had been silent all the time, and he said, "Prime Minister, do you know about this refugee?"
