Thanks to Ba Bajie and the moderator for the ten thousand gold reward, bow!
************************************************
Qin Mu returned to the back court, took out his giant sword, and practiced sword practice in front of the Qianqing Palace. His sword energy was as good as practice, and he shouted continuously, clearly showing his intention to kill.
He was covered in sweat, the depression in his chest came out, and his eyes regained their determination.
When he sheathed his sword, Yang Zhi, who had been hiding in the side of the palace to avoid disturbing him, slowly walked out. She had been pregnant for several months and her movements were slow.
"His Majesty!"
"Why are you here, Queen? You are inconvenient. You should move around as little as possible and don't get tired." Qin Mu handed the sword to the little eunuch beside him and went up to support her.
Yang Zhi gently rubbed her bulging belly and smiled gently: "I am His Majesty's married wife. When His Majesty encounters difficulties, as long as I can still walk, I will definitely stand by His Majesty's side. "
Qin Mu felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Queen, don't worry, the sky won't fall. Just wait and see how I will sweep away all the ghosts and ghosts."
"Don't worry, I believe. Your Majesty can do it." After Yang Zhi said this, she turned around and waved to Momo Ruoruo and the others who were following behind. Momo and Ruoruo each presented a black lacquer box, "Your Majesty. , these are some of my concubine’s jewelry and ornaments. Although I can’t help your majesty much, they are still my concubine’s thoughts. Your majesty should take them for emergencies first. Also, I am the head of the six palaces, so I should lead by example. How can I treat my concubine alone when all expenses are reduced by half?”
Qin Mu looked calm on the surface and laughed loudly: "Queen, I am the lord of a country. It's just a few clowns causing trouble. Queen, you don't have to be like this..."
"Your Majesty." Yang Zhi turned around and held his hand and said, "As long as the country is peaceful and your Majesty feels comfortable, that is the most important thing to me. These external things, whether they are present or not, what does it matter? ?”
Feeling the warmth from her hand, Qin Mu was silent for a while, and then said: "I accept the queen's wishes. Come, I will take you back to the palace to rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Mu personally sent Yang Zhi back to Kunning Palace. After saying some personal words, he left.
Returning to the Qianqing Palace, I saw Xu Ruoshi dressed in goose-yellow palace clothes, waiting gracefully in the corridor.
She doesn't have as many ways to serve people as Li Xiangjun and other girls who came from a brothel, but she comes from a powerful family and always exudes a graceful and luxurious temperament.
"My concubine pays homage to Your Majesty." She folded her crotch, and her graceful figure looked like an immortal.
"Excuse me, do you have something to see me? Come in with me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As expected, Xu Ruoshi also came to "donate". And he must donate all his dowry.
Among the concubines in the entire Da Qin Palace, she was definitely the richest. Her brother Xu Yongshun gave him 500,000 taels in dowry alone. No one else can compare.
Qin Mu first asked all the maids to exit the palace, and then said, "Did you see those two boxes? The queen asked me to pawn them for military use."
Xu Ruoshi was smart. After being surprised, she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty. I have no other intentions. I only heard that Your Majesty is in urgent need of money..."
Qin Mu stepped forward and helped her up. Then he said: "You have good intentions, and I don't mean to blame you, but when you act, you should think about who is the master of the harem. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again in the future."
"I know that I am guilty. I will go and apologize to the Queen."
"No, you don't need to donate all your dowry. Give half of it to the queen tomorrow so that she can use it to meet the expenses of the palace temporarily. In the future, I will pay back every penny to you, including the queen."
"I obey my orders." Xu Ruoshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether she did it intentionally or not this time, Qin Mu didn't want to pursue it too much. Things outside have given him enough headaches, and he doesn't want the harem to become chaotic as well.
Qin Mu hugged her over and said earnestly: "In terms of money, even ten Xu families can't match one of my clever children. Do you understand? What I like is not your Xu family's money, but you. That's right." It's yours, I won't miss you; it shouldn't be yours, don't think wrong about it."
"Your Majesty, I am not thoughtful and deserve death. But I really have no intention of targeting the Queen. The Queen is a virtuous and virtuous mother who respects the world. The father-in-law is also honest, loyal and patriotic. These are all my fault. I admire you from the bottom of my heart, Your Majesty..."
"Okay, you don't need to explain. I believe you. You can sleep in Qianqing Palace tonight."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Ruoshi's worries turned into joy.
Although Qin Mu said he was not interested in the Xu family's money, he left the palace incognito the next day and called Xu Yongshun to Xiyuan when he visited Xiyuan.
Xu Yongshun was a very smart man, so he had already made a rough guess in his mind when he was summoned.
In July, Mochou Lake has a vague charm with tall trees and overcast sky, old fish spitting in the waves. The pavilions and pavilions of Xiyuan are built near the water, and the wind from the lake is refreshing and pleasant.
Qin Mu asked someone to bring tea. Xu Yongshun was flattered and said quickly: "I am so loved by your Majesty that I am here today. Your Majesty is so kind to me. I always think about repaying you in case..."
Qin Mu didn't come here to hear him express his loyalty. The Qin Dynasty was besieged on all sides and the smoke was billowing, and he was worried.
"Okay, Xiao Shunzi, you must have guessed why I summoned you. Tell me, how much money can you borrow from me? I won't force you, you can borrow as much as you can."
The emperor borrowed money, but King Nan of Zhou was forced to hide on the high platform in the palace because he owed too much debt and was unable to repay it.
But it is indeed rare for an emperor to borrow money, and I have never seen someone like Qin Mu, who directly asked someone to borrow money without any cover-up or shyness.
Xu Yongshun was a little surprised, but he said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, look at what you said, what are you talking about borrowing? Your Majesty wants to raise money and food to fight against foreign enemies. Even if I lose everything, I will definitely support your Majesty with all my strength. This... . .. I wonder how much your Majesty needs?”
"Three million dragon coins, do you have it?"
Xu Yongshun was also a bachelor this time. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, your majesty. Within three days, the three million dragon coins will be given in full. I will go back to raise funds now."
Xu Yongshun left without making any demands or even taking a sip of tea.
Qin Mu looked at his leaving figure and nodded secretly. Three million dragon coins was not a small amount, and the Xu family could never afford it alone. Without making any promises, it would take a lot of words to convince Liu Changzuo and the others to take out the money.
Although Xu Yongshun is young, his courage and responsibility are truly unparalleled by ordinary people.
Qin Mu didn't stay long in Xiyuan. He immediately drove back to the palace. Together with the one million dragon coins he took out from the inner treasury, he already had four million dragon coins as a base. On the way back to the palace, Qin Mu's brows relaxed. Quite a few, come on, fight with the sky, it will be endless fun; fight with the earth, it will be endless fun; fight with the whole world, Da Qin has this capital, let's see who gets down first.
Because he left the palace incognito, Qin Mu's driver did not clear the way with much fanfare. When he returned to the Daqin Gate, he saw many people gathered around the Daqin Gate and pointed.
"Li Shi, go see what's going on."
"Honor the decree."
Li Shi, who was wearing casual clothes, squeezed through the crowd and saw a middle-aged woman in simple clothes in front of the Daqin Gate. She had a load beside her and a large tray in her hand. The yellow silk covering the tray was blown by the wind. , revealing a dazzling golden light.
Almost everyone in Nanjing didn't know this woman. She was Aunt Li who Qin Mu had paid a hundred gold for a piece of cake.
While she was struggling to lift the tray, she said to the soldiers guarding the Daqin Gate: "Master, please let the old woman in. The Queen is pregnant with Liujia. In order to support the soldiers at the front to win the battle, she also reduced her clothes and diet. , even the jewelry was pawned for military use. I am an old woman who has been deeply favored by the emperor. How can I just watch helplessly? Master, the old woman just wants to give a little bit of her heart to your majesty and the queen. I am not a bad person, military officer. Master, please let the old woman in."
The soldier guarding Da Qin Gate said in embarrassment: "Auntie, I know you are not a bad person, but we can't make the decision in this matter."
Li Shi figured out the outline of the matter and quickly reported back to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu was a little moved after hearing this. But he couldn't think of it for a moment, how did Aunt Li know that the Queen had donated her jewelry? This incident only happened yesterday, but it was spread to the public today? If this is true, what secrets does the entire harem have
