Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 464 You Have a Plan, I Have a Countermeasure!

The fourth prince strode forward suddenly, staring at She Ninghua with eyes full of anger: "Empress, there is no evidence, why do you treat me like this?"

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes to cover up the coldness in her eyes, with a trace of doubt on her face: "Why does the Fourth Prince sound angry, I am protecting you, you see so many people died in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. The palace has not found the real culprit behind the scenes, so who knows if someone will attack the Fourth Prince's Mansion? So I have to send troops to protect it in advance, and when I catch the real culprit, the guards will naturally be removed."

Okay, what a Shen Ninghua!She said before that no evidence had been found, and she could not be sure that he was instigating people to spread rumors in order to hold back this trick.If she directly wanted to deal with them, he would have sufficient excuses to prove his innocence, but he could bite back and say that Shen Ninghua was eliminating dissidents and murdering members of the royal family.But she chose not to pursue their charges, only to protect them.

Protect?Baili Jinjing's face trembled, what he said was so sweet, it was clearly under house arrest!He also said that as long as the investigation is clear, the staff will be removed. Doesn't it mean that if Shen Ninghua can't find out for a day, they will be under house arrest for a day?

"Queen, now that the country is in crisis, how can I sit idly by..."

Shen Ninghua interrupted him in a cold voice: "The fourth prince is dedicated to the common people. I am very pleased. The most urgent thing now is the lack of food. There is definitely no food in the prince's mansion, but donating a part of the silver can also solve the country's crisis. How about this? Gong Xian took the lead and donated 50 taels of silver to buy food to help the people, how much will the Fourth Prince and other princes plan to donate?"

Baili Jinjing was robbed of his whites, and his face turned red and blue all the more wonderfully: "You..."

Baili Jinchuan, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward to salute, and directly expressed his attitude: "Empress, my family is not rich, and I am not good at managing money. I can only donate 30 taels of silver to relieve the urgent need."

"Okay, this palace will report this matter to the emperor, and ask the emperor to personally issue an imperial decree to announce the achievements of Prince De to the people of the world."

Baili Jinjing stared at Baili Jinchuan, wishing to gouge out a piece of flesh from his body. He has been silent since he went to court, so he was waiting here, 30 taels, that's 30 taels. With these 30 taels, how many staff and influence can he support?

Shen Ninghua looked at the third and fourth princes: "Where are the two princes, Prince De donated 30 taels, how many taels do you have prepared?"

"We don't have many silver taels in our hands..."

Shen Ninghua took out two sheets from the side of the paper and glanced at them roughly: "The Third Prince has about fifteen shops in the capital. Although not all of them have the same profit, on average, the annual profit is enough for 10 taels of silver. These shops The least one has been in business for five years, plus the income from Hot Spring Zhuangzi, the reward from the Emperor Father, and the filial piety from all over the place..."

"Then the king will also donate 30 taels!" The third prince gritted his teeth, as if someone was cutting his flesh and blood, Shen Ninghua actually investigated his property so clearly!
Shen Ninghua stopped talking, and looked at the fourth prince with a smile: "Brothers are of one heart, and their profits cut through gold. If the fourth prince is concerned about the country and the people, he will definitely donate 30 taels, right?"

"En." Baili Jinjing nodded coldly, his face completely darkened.

Shen Ninghua got up and said loudly: "Okay, the three princes are worthy of being role models in the court."

"The minister and others take the empress and the three princes as examples, and the minister is willing to donate 5000 taels."

"The minister donated 3000 taels..."

The newly promoted officials expressed their support for the queen one after another, and the old-school officials almost cried on the spot.Many of them had their homes ransacked once before, and they were punished many times later. Now there is really no extra silver in the family, but if they don't donate, this matter will spread, and the reputation of the newly promoted officials in the hearts of the people will firmly kill them. Under the pressure, when the time comes, Baili Junyi will have an excuse when he comes back to clean them up!
"The minister is willing to donate 5000 taels..." Let's go home and sell some of the antiques.

"The minister donated 2000 taels..." I went back to my father-in-law's house to borrow some...

Shen Ninghua asked people to write down the names of officials and the donated silver, and the last check turned out to raise 160 million taels!
"My palace will ask people to write down the court meeting and post it in the capital for the common people to see. Dragon Scale Army, why don't you escort the princes and courtiers back soon?"

The third prince and the fourth prince stared at Shen Ninghua in disbelief, and almost fainted on the spot. They thought that threatening them like that was to make them take money outside, but they didn't expect that they would be under house arrest after taking the money. Shen Ninghua set up a trick Let them drill in on purpose!The bitch!

Many newly promoted officials lowered their heads, raised the corners of their lips slightly, and sighed inwardly: Empress Empress Shengming!

The Dragon Scale Army didn't hesitate this time, they directly stepped forward and surrounded the people at Shen Ninghua's point, escorted them and walked out.

When the goal was achieved, Shen Ninghua's expression relaxed, and she restrained the sharp look at the corners of her eyes and brows: "Retreat."

On the northwest border, the army of the Dayue Kingdom did not give Baili Junyi much time to recuperate. On the second day after he arrived in Suicheng, a large number of soldiers pressed the border. If Queen Shen Ninghua is lost, the two countries can negotiate peace.

Regardless of the obstruction of many soldiers, Baili Junyi went up to the tower in person, drew the bow and pierced the heart of the clamoring general of Dayue Kingdom!The soldiers of Dayue Kingdom retreated a hundred meters in shock.

Baili Junyi squinted his eyes and looked at the dark enemy army under the city. Even if the opponent had captured the seven cities of Dayue Kingdom and threatened Suicheng where he was, there was no trace of fear in his eyes. He looked at the fallen horse. The enemy general used his internal strength to spread his voice: "A mere pawn, what qualifications do you have to talk to me, let your king come over, no, let your queen come over, she speaks more effectively!"

The general of the Dayue Kingdom below had a dark face: Baili Junyi's words were clearly mocking their King of Dayue who was weak and then strong!

Han Qi beside Baili Junyi laughed, pointed at the generals below and began to curse: "Pawns of the Great Yue Kingdom, when we defeat you, don't be afraid, let your wives come to avenge you, They are much better than you."

"Shameless boy, to be so disrespectful to my country, Da Viet."

"Oh, to be honest, I'm disrespectful to you. You are so well protected by your own mother-in-law, so vulnerable." Han Qi laughed even more freely.

The lieutenant generals and many generals around him blushed. Their general was a famous Hob Dao Rou, nicknamed Han Popi. It's just a rogue, especially in front of the enemy, if he is petty, he can directly vomit blood.Now that the emperor is here, General Han has restrained himself a lot, but he still feels ashamed!

Baili Junyi couldn't help laughing, most of the generals were informal, and Han Qi's personality was much more likable than those civil servants in the court.

Soon, a herald passed the words of Baili Junyi and Han Qi to the big tent of Queen Jin of Dayue Kingdom.Jin's eyes turned cold, and deep displeasure flashed across his body: "At first, I thought that Baili Junyi could stand out in many princes' battles, there must be something special, but now I can't see it at all."

Bu Yonghan, who was snuggling next to her, looked at the content on the paper, and couldn't help but burn with anger: "Mother, that Baili Junyi is clearly insulting you and father, and now my army of Dayue Kingdom is so powerful that we simply send troops to attack , Break Suicheng and take down Baili Junyi, let’s see what kind of arrogance they get from the Great Yue Kingdom.”

Bu Jinglan on the side twitched his eyebrows, bowed his head and remained silent.

Jin threw the note into the brazier aside: "War, don't be in a hurry."

"Mother, my country of Dayue has strong soldiers and horses. Although Suicheng has that general Han Popi, he has long been short of food and grass. What is there to be afraid of?" Bu Yonghan pulled Jin's sleeves and acted like a baby girl.

Mrs. Jin helped her tidy up the gold hairpins on her head, and said with a smile: "It is not a child's play to fight between the two countries. It was so easy for us to capture seven cities before because six of them were sent to Da'an as your dowry. Our support is relatively easy, as you can see, when we captured Qingcheng, it took nearly half a month to take it. This Suicheng has Baili Junyi sitting in the town, the army's morale is stable, and the people's hearts are not chaotic, so it is even more difficult to deal with .”

"Queen, you have no plans to spare, and you are even more talented in leading the army, so you won't be afraid of that Baili Junyi!"

Jin's brows frowned: "Yonghan, your father is the real person in charge, and your mother is just assisting from the side. How can you be called a great talent?"

Bu Yonghan's complexion changed, and he quickly admitted his mistake: "Yes, my son was only too angry when he saw Baili Junyi's words, so he spoke indiscriminately for a while, please forgive me, mother."

The Jin family controls most of the rights of the Dayue Kingdom, but never allows anyone to say anything about the Emperor of the Dayue Kingdom, and even behaves extraordinarily submissively in front of the Emperor, which is why the Emperor always trusts her: "Okay, your father, the last few days I feel unwell on the day, I want to make some meals for him, you go down first, order the soldiers to harass Suicheng without interruption, don't attack by force, just let them have no peace."

"Yes."

The soldiers of Dayue Kingdom kept coming forward to shout, and from time to time, a few cold arrows were shot up. If the Suicheng army counterattacked, they retreated immediately. If they did not counterattack, they directly stepped forward and attacked the city.

Baili Junyi looked at the soldiers below and couldn't help but sneered: "Ye Yi, tell the secret guards to prepare."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With a wave of Ye Yi's hand, a team of unusually silent people quickly stepped forward and took out big bows in unison. The big bows were wider than ordinary people's bows and arrows, and the bow strings were also thicker.When the soldiers of the Dayue Kingdom feinted to attack 200 meters below the city again, they suddenly drew their bows and arrows, and shot at them.

Han Qi was taken aback, his brows furrowed: "It's a bit far away, I'm afraid I won't... hit it!"

There was cheering in the city, and the eyes of the dark guards were full of admiration. That was a distance of nearly 200 meters. To be able to shoot such a long distance, how much strength does it have?
