When it was time for the court meeting, Yang Zhiming, the Minister of the Household, at the behest of the prince, filed a petition to count the accounts of the treasury's debts and recover the debts of the treasury.
The officials present were all discolored and looked at each other in dismay.
But in front of the fact that the national treasury was depleted, no one dared to stand up against it, thinking about the IOU he wrote.
"That being the case, Li Zi will supervise the operation, and Zhao Peng will assist in the errand." Song Pian gave the order, "Within half a ten-day, all civil and military officials, regardless of rank, regardless of rank, must pay off the arrears of the treasury."
The Qingyue male voice, which had been systematically transformed, was thrown on the ground with a strong force:
"Violators will be pursued by Shuntian Prefecture, and will not be tolerated."
There was a commotion below.
Zhao Peng, who was named, hissed fiercely—
Disaster relief is such a good work that he did not feel it, but got such a chore
Can debt collection be easy? If you turn around and offend everyone, you don't even know how to die!
"It's absolutely impossible, Prince!" Li Zi stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "You can't punish a doctor since ancient times. How can you arrest a court-appointed official for checking your accounts."
Li Zi's heart is also heavy. The King of Chu's lineage has been taking money from the state treasury over the years. If he really wants to pay it back, the properties he has bought over the years will be lost.
"Prince can't do it alone!"
"If you want to pursue it, you don't have to be so urgent, you should take it slowly."
It's about himself, and the officials below are playing tricks.
Either that Song Piangan wanted to give everyone face, and no matter what, he couldn't escort people into the yamen. Either do it slowly and give everyone more time.
Song Pian sat in a high position and looked down at them.
Li Zi saw that after he raised his arms, many people responded positively. It seemed that this measure would not be carried out, and he felt a lot of relaxation.
He said proudly: "I hope the prince thinks twice."
Those who didn’t want to pay back the money and those who still didn’t pay, all followed him and said in unison:
"Prince Three—"
"The IOUs are all here, the disaster in Sishui, and the country's longevity, which one doesn't need the support of silver taels?" A rough voice interrupted them, unceremoniously.
Song Pian glanced sideways, it was the cousin of the Feng family, Feng Chenyi, the head of the Dali Temple.
Feng Chenyi bowed his hands to Song Pian in salutation, and then raised his official prestige and said:
"You are the ministers of the shoulders and the stock, and you must do your best to share the worries of the country, and do your best to die. This is the principle of being a minister."
He looked at Li Zi, "The Minister of the Right is the assistant minister personally ordered by the sage, and there is an order from the emperor to obey, why do you shirk it in every possible way?"
Li Zi hurriedly lowered his head, his face tense: "I don't dare, it's just..."
He secretly hated in his heart that the Feng family was really his own nemesis, and he had to take a chance to take a bite at any time.
He didn't believe it anymore. The Feng family's wealth was not afraid of anything. Those old soldiers and ruffians who followed the Feng family had to have bad debts. Let's see how they solve it!
"The right prime minister just said some questions, but he doesn't need to be harsh."
Did the prince speak for himself? Li Zi was surprised and almost looked up.
"Yes." Feng Chenyi smacked his lips and cupped his hands.
Although Song Pianjiao refuted Feng Chenyi, his words were not harsh, but rather lenient. It was not until he put his eyes on Li Zi that he turned to a rigorous examination, his voice was like a deep bell, calm and solemn:
"The important minister of the Right Prime Minister, in terms of ability, you are one of the few in this court, so this palace has entrusted this matter to you to supervise. I hope you don't let this palace down."
Li Zi was startled and buried his head even lower. He knew that this matter could not be pushed back, so he had to respond:
"I will live up to my trust."
After the prince recovered from his illness, he was no longer gentle or even sloppy, and his wrists were even more ruthless.
It has only been a few days, and people come and go in the Hall of Mental Cultivation every day, and the affairs of each department are orderly.
After waking up today, the atmosphere of the court will definitely be one of solemnity.
Fortunately, there is still a Feng family to guard against the prince. If you want to check and balance, let the Feng family Chu Wang check each other, you can't do your best to clean up the Chu king's line for the time being, otherwise...
Li Zi's worries were unabated, and he only hoped that a secret letter would be sent from the King of Chu as soon as possible to discuss actions.
Feng Chenyi went down to court and went to a hot spring courtyard in the eastern suburbs outside Beijing.
It is the blooming season of mountain flowers, the spring breeze is blowing, the willows are slender, the green bricks and black tiles of the other courtyards, and the begonias open shyly and timidly.
Under a tree of pink daisies, Feng Yuexian stood in white clothes and jade, and his face was as bright as the light of day, like the spring sun in May.
The light wind hit, and the white clothes were flying like bird feathers. Before they flew too high, they were pressed down by the jade pendant around the waist. Instead, a few wisps of light pink petals were blown off by Begonia.
Feng Chenyi was immersed in the scenery of falling flowers stained with beautiful women's lapel, when he saw the curling beauty backhand showing the dagger in his hand.
The silver light suddenly appeared, and the petals of the begonia instantly shattered into two halves, resulting in one corpse and two lives.
"… "
Very good, still the cousin who doesn't understand the style and is cold.
Feng Chenyi walked over, glanced at the dagger that his cousin used to play with, and said:
"Can you leave the palace?"
He thought that after his cousin got married, he could only pass news to her, but he didn't expect her to come out.
"En." Feng Yue pursed her lips, raised her chin slightly, her voice was naturally cold, "Prince is lenient."
"Prince Prince is indeed a good-natured person, but he is a little soft. No wonder you asked me to speak for him, otherwise Li Zi will lead someone to bully him today."
Speaking of this, Feng Chenyi tentatively said: "But there are people in our faction who have made an IOU."
"I'm speaking for the prince today, and they are very dissatisfied. I can only say that it was you who ordered them. They just gave up for the time being, let me come over, and wait for your position."
"I know it all."
Feng Yue casually stretched out her fingers and brushed off the scars on the dagger, her cold white skin and sharp blade surface, she couldn't tell which one was whiter for a while.
"I went out of the palace today because of this, and I have been invited to come here."
"With your words, I have nothing to worry about."
Feng Yuexian just said a word, Feng Chenyi's heart was settled in an instant, and he laughed loudly.
In the distance, there was a trot of horseshoes, and it was a few old futures.
These people all went to war with Feng Yuexian's two parents, and they were all uncles who watched them grow up.
The two greeted each other outside the door of the other courtyard together. Although everyone's faces were slightly condensed, they gave the juniors face in the end. They kept the surface calm and went all the way to the flower hall to rest their feet with tea.
There was only a violent temper named Zhong Lie. After drinking a bowl of tea, he wiped his mouth and said bluntly:
"Eldest niece, I know you speak nicely, and a few words can make us obedient."
"But today it's different. You know, I have seven or eight people under my knees, and every one of them will call Sister Sheng when I see you. The money I borrow is not enough unless the house I live in is sold."
"Just tell me, what about us old guys with this move?"
After Zhong Lie finished speaking, the atmosphere that had just been relaxed on the field became stagnant again.
Under the cover of drinking tea with a twist in his heart, he was as unbearable as Zhong Lie, and all of them set their eyes on Feng Yuexian.
Under the eyes of all parties, Feng Yue Xian Ning Na's figure was not messed up at all, her eyes were cut off and fell on Zhong Lie.
"I know Uncle Zhong's difficulties."
"Then why did you let Feng Xiaozi act like this today?" Another person couldn't stand it anymore and interjected.
Feng Yue's eyes swept over, her smile still remained, she didn't answer and replied:
"All uncles followed my father's life and death. In the northwest, foreign invaders come to invade. You are the heroes of the world and the elders that I highly respect."
Feng Yuexian's expression was respectful, and when he said this, he got up and squatted.
Seeing the grown-up juniors so solemnly praised him since childhood, everyone felt a lot more comfortable, and even Zhong Lie's impatience was suppressed.
"Although this matter was proposed by the prince, it is a general trend. The treasury is no longer able to support state affairs, so auditing the accounts is inevitable."
Feng Yuexian stood up straight and calmly said: "Then, perhaps it is to rectify the management of officials - before this batch of money comes up, you will have to enter the yamen, which is a direction."
Zhong Lie's face turned pale: "Then what can I do—"
"Uncle Zhong, don't be in a hurry." Feng Yuexian turned to soothing. Although his voice was cold, he seemed calm and self-controlled at this moment, which made people listen to her words, "As a junior, how can I look at my uncle who accompanied my father to kill the enemy. It hurts God because of money."
Feng Yuexian smiled slightly and said, "My father was clean and honest throughout his life. Fortunately, my mother left me a lot of self-confidence, which will come in handy today to solve the current situation."
Zhong Lie was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said anxiously, "This is absolutely impossible, how can I use your dowry money!"
Feng Yuexian raised her voice and said loudly:
"Why not!"
"Uncle Zhong, you are my respected elder, and you do have difficulties. Even if you can endure being displaced for a while, think about your aunt and siblings."
When he mentioned his home, Zhong Lie was stunned for a while, his lips moved, and he couldn't say anything to refuse for a long time.
Finally, his eyes were firm and he said solemnly:
"Then I'm ashamed to have received your love. In the future, Zhong will only rely on the dispatch!"
Feng Yue stood leisurely, her eyes were like paint, she slightly curved her lips when she heard the words, and said:
"Uncle Zhong doesn't have to be like this."
The others in the hall seemed to have watched the scene before they came to their senses.
However, she saw Feng Yue standing idle in the hall, looking around the crowd, her skirt moved slightly, and said:
"As long as any uncle is stretched thin, I will do my best to clear the IOU for the uncle, to show the younger generation's heart."
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then there were intermittent voices.
"Oh, I shouldn't blame you, but thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise, if you don't take it seriously, you will be caught in the yamen and lose your face."
"I still have a few shops, even if I make less money, I can't use the dowry money left by my old sister-in-law, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go to the general's mansion to see my big brother!"
"Don't worry, it won't make it difficult for you."
…
Feng Chenyi was holding a bowl of tea by the side, and he didn't take a sip until the tea was cold, and he was amazed.
Feng Yuexian's wrist is truly outstanding!
Today, the prince of the court meeting just proposed to count the arrears, and she immediately went out of the palace to solve the matter without giving the slightest moment when the situation became chaotic.
Open your mouth to express affection, sell your feelings, and ease everyone's atmosphere. Then she pointed out that this is the general trend, not what she proposed. It is inevitable and can only be repaid.
After everyone accepted this statement, it was proposed that if the elders really did not pay, they would use the dowry to help pay the debt—
Originally, as juniors, they were inevitably at a disadvantage when facing elders. But after saying this, the unreasonable became these uncles.
They are all big men who grew up in the ranks, unlike the literati, there are some scumbags who eat women's dowry money.
Let the junior use the dowry to pay you back money to support the family, what is the loss?
Now, if it wasn't for someone like Zhong Lie who really had no money to pay back, who would have the face to let Feng Yuexian pay
Whose family is all in the eyes of others, who would dare to let Feng Yue spend money idle
Aren't you afraid that there will be a shameless reputation in Beijing in the future? Aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the spine by these brothers
As for the money given to Zhong Lie, what he bought back was Zhong Lie's loyalty, and even the children of the Zhong family who had not grown up received her kindness. There is no better deal than this.
Feng Chenyi patted the front of the machine for a long time, and it was not until Feng Yuexian left for a long time that he sighed, and once again realized the fear of being crushed by his cousin's means.
Feng Yue Xian rarely left the palace once, so she secretly returned to the general's mansion, met the old man at home, and reassured him.
Immediately, she met the commander of the private army of the general's mansion. Some things were just a piece of paper the size of a palm to spread the news.
"Miss, Deng Bo is expected to arrive in Sishui in five days. I have already sent a message to the King of Chu as you ordered, and encouraged Xi Qingyan, but I have not received a reply yet."
Dali's territory is vast, so it's normal to fail to receive a reply in time, Feng Yue said with a sigh of relief:
"Protect Deng Bo and help him try his best to solve the disaster. Instruct the county guards to settle the influx of victims."
"Yes." The commander responded.
Feng Yuexian pondered for a few breaths before saying, "Shen Doctor Xue, who treated my father's legs and feet before, lived in seclusion in Jiangnan?"
What is this topic going? The commander was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered this "Shenzhen Doctor Xue".
The old general Feng was shot by a poisoned arrow in the northwest, and the remaining poison was not removed, and the imperial doctor was helpless.
This genius doctor Xue came uninvited and said that the old general Feng had saved countless people in Limin, and he had made great contributions. He came here to diagnose and treat the old general.
No one believed it at first, but hey, he really let him see it, and then floated away.
However, after this story spread, it was used by the King of Chu, and there were rumors that people from heaven came down to see the old general, disregarding the emperor's retention, and stepped on the emperor's suspicion, and gradually no one dared to mention it.
"This... I should have returned to Jiangnan before." The commander said uncertainly.
Feng Yue leisurely closed her eyes and said softly, "Go and look for it."
There is a guess in the commander's mind: "Do you want to... heal the prince?"
Feng Yue didn't answer, waved his sleeves and let him go down.
The commander walked outside in a daze, looking at the square sky, full of question marks.
I've been looking forward to the long life of the prince. My young lady is... Really want to be a prince concubine honestly
After handling the trivial matters, Feng Yuexian returned to the East Palace through the secret passage.
The secret road leads directly to a royal courtyard outside the palace. This courtyard has been given to the prince, and the secret guards in the prince's hands are guarding it. Only the secret guard commander knows the entrance of the secret road.
When Song Pianjiao learned that Feng Yuexian was going to leave the palace, he did not hesitate to inform Feng Yuexian of the secret passage information, and personally took her down the secret passage, sending her more than a hundred steps before returning to the East Palace.
Whenever Feng Yuexian thought about this, his heart felt like a spring bud swaying, and he let out a soft sound of joy.
Previously, she had thought that Song Piangan might be lying to her with rhetoric to deceive herself, but from her unintentional rescue of her master, to her subsequent trust in herself, and today, even the palace secrets who can save her life casually told herself—
The smile in Fengyue's leisurely eyes grew stronger, the secret passage exit was in front of her eyes, and she wondered if Song Pian went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation or was resting in the East Palace.
If you are in the East Palace, you must be reading a book—
Feng Yuexian speculated that just after returning to the palace, Yinxue, who was staying behind, immediately came to make a small report.
"Prince Concubine, the Lord of Qinghe County has entered the palace."
Feng Yue said casually:
"Um?"
"As soon as the prince heard of her coming, he went to see her immediately."
"!"
Feng Yuexian's eyes narrowed.
Song Piantao steals food while she's not at home
No wonder he sent himself away today with kind words, and even sent himself a hundred or ten steps.
It turns out that Jio had just left before, and then Jio went to see others—
The Crown Princess stood on the spot, the stars in her eyes became more and more condensed.
Yin Bing glared at Yin Xue and explained:
"The Lord of Qinghe County entered the palace to see the eldest princess. In the future, the East Palace, the Mingshou Palace that went straight..."
Very good, I went straight to Song Pian.
Feng Yuexian's face tightened even more, showing a chilling and charming temperament.
Yinbing didn't dare to speak.
Did she say something wrong? Why did the master look even worse
She whispered the second half of the sentence: "... Prince Xu heard the news and remembered that he had not seen the princess for a long time, so he went to Mingshou Palace."
After Yin Bing finished speaking, she saw the master take two steps out, then came back, looking like she was going to catch the traitor, she raised her chin and said lightly:
"Clean up the palace."
Song Piantao was at the Mingshou Palace at this time and heard the Qinghe babble.
Originally, she planned to come back to be the second princess in two days, go out for a walk, and brush up her presence, but Qinghe suddenly came.
Qinghe was from an extraordinary background, the daughter of a different surname Wang, and at the same time the only handkerchief handkerchief of Yuanshen, who lived with Yuanshen in the palace for a while. If you don't see it behind closed doors, it's too discordant.
The original body did not walk through the secret passage, and Luo Chen, the leader of the dark guard, was dispatched by her to do business. The secret passage extended in all directions. She did not know how to go to the secret passage to the Mingshou Palace, so she had to come over with the prince's honor guard on the bright side.
When I came to Mingshou Palace, before Qinghe arrived at Mingshou Palace, I just found a reason for "the prince went to Zizhulin to rest alone", and made this matter go away.
Qinghe blinked, squatting on the melon seeds and said, "...Why did your brother marry Feng Yuexian? She is so rude, and your brother is so weak. I should be the one who matches me. Otherwise, what should I do if she spoils her?"
Song Pian rolled a sip of tea in her throat and almost choked.
"How come."
Two rice cakes sleep side by side on the tatami, how can they play against each other? glue together
"Also, I was the one who judged her rashly before, but she wasn't like that, I was narrow-minded." Song Pian generously admitted the mistake instead of the original body.
Qinghe was aggrieved.
"She's not rude, but she has a dark heart."
"Um?"
"It's okay for you to be in the palace. I was harassed several times by her outside the palace." Qinghe said loudly, "Didn't I just say some bad things about her? Look at her stingy, stingy."
"..." Seeing that Qinghe was still full of energy, he knew it wasn't a big deal. Song Piangang was about to say, "Your words have spread all over Shangjing," when she heard a soft laugh from outside.
It is as moist as a milk pastry, and as light as a feather, it tickles one's ears and itches in the bottom of my heart.
"Why, the county master entered the palace to complain?"
The sound was like a splash of frost on the ground, and the snowy stars like blue smoke swayed gently, forming a cold mist, cold and charming.
It was Feng Yuexian's voice, which Song Piantang recognized immediately.
She has come back
Qinghe jumped up like a frightened squirrel, Song Piangan also stood up and turned to look over.
In her current capacity, she has never seen Feng Yuexian before.
She smiled and curtseyed:
"Is that the Queen's Sister-in-law? I have seen the Queen's Sister-in-law before."
Feng Yue stood idle in front of the main hall of Mingshou Palace, Fang crossed the threshold, stood still, and looked up to see Song Pian.
It was Song Piantao who restored the woman herself.
She wears a golden butterfly dress, white on top and red on the bottom, dignified and beautiful.
She was wearing a fallen bun, wearing a golden phoenix inlaid with pearls on her head, and as she stood up, the pearls hanging from the golden phoenix's mouth swayed together with the skirt, like a spring wave.
In the evening, Feng Yuexian, who shared the same bed, had seen Song Piangan's original appearance. She and the prince were eight-point similar in appearance. She only felt that Song Piangan was much more feminine at that time, but she didn't want to put on makeup—
In other words, today, I can suddenly lose my mind at a glance.
Looking forward to the circulation, it hooks people's souls.
She returned to her senses, remembered the relationship between the two, and said:
"Since entering the palace, I have seen the princess in the future. I heard that the princess entered the palace today, and I must come and join in the fun."
This blind eye, by coincidence, fell on Qinghe.
Remembering how long Song Piantao's good color had been shown to Qinghe before he came, Feng Yuexian said with a faint smile but not a smile:
"But it seems that Qinghe doesn't want to see this palace."
"How, how could it be." Qinghe's face was full of insincere words, but he was very eager to survive.
The palace attendant had been silenced by the Crown Princess before, but now he hastily came in to serve, Feng Yuexian sat down on the red sandalwood chair unceremoniously, and sipped the tea leisurely.
When her heartbeat calmed down, she turned her gaze back to Song Piantao:
"What did you just say?"
speak ill of you. Qinghe knew this question very well, but she didn't dare to say it.
Song Pian's smile did not change, and he said, "Qinghe mentioned the emperor's brother and sister-in-law, and he was very envious in his words."
Qinghe looked at her sisters with a "sister-in-law" expression, how could Song Piangan beautify "I'm so envious of Feng Yuexian being your sister-in-law" like this
Is this the beauty of language
Qinghe rubbed secretly again to see Feng Yuexian's expression.
Although the sisters said it nicely, with Feng Yuexian's scheming, she knew that she didn't like her very much, so she definitely wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense—
Then, the Qinghe County Master saw that Feng Yuexian's eyes, who had always been ruthless towards him, leaked a smile, and his lips curved slightly.
Although the expression range is not large, the joy between the eyebrows and eyes is clearly visible, and the face is like a peach blossom, full of charming style.
"I'm not very envious." The Crown Princess said succinctly.
But your expression doesn't say that! Your face is full of "Yes, I am very happy, I am very happy, come and envy me" ah!
Qinghe looked at Feng Yuexian as if he had seen a ghost.
This is still the same, no matter which son tries to please her, it can't get Feng Yuexian with a cold and beautiful look
Or that, Quan Shangjing thought that she agreed to marry into the East Palace because it would be easier to be the emperor by herself or Feng Yuexian to follow the government under the curtain
After Feng Yue Xian came, Qing He was restless and quickly proposed to take a step first.
Song Pian went straight to the gate of Mingshou Palace, Feng Yue was not in front of him, Qing He finally couldn't hold back, he hugged his sister's arm, got close, and said cautiously:
"You have to remind your royal brother to pay attention to your body."
"Huh?" Song Pian was confused.
Qinghe's expression was solemn: "Look at Feng Yuexian, do you look like a goblin who has absorbed enough energy?"
Qinghe's expression was serious and worried: "Be careful that your imperial brother is drained by her—without your imperial brother's support, you will be played by this vicious woman in the future. It's terrible, right!"
"… "
