After Shen Mingzhu finished speaking, she glanced at Chu Tianyu. After she said that, if he was not too stupid, he should be able to think of putting the blame on the prince for this matter!
She couldn't have thought of it at first, but when she saw Chu Tiankuo's expression just now and then saw Xing Qing standing there, she thought of it.
Shen Mingzhu could never have imagined that the master advisor was actually the prince!
No wonder the credit for saving the oil went to Chen Xingnong.
He is Chen Xingnong's senior brother, and is so familiar with that family of bastards that he even helped Xingqing become a princess!
Will I still have a way to survive in the future
How could she settle accounts with Chen Xingnong
We must not let him continue to be the crown prince!
Chu Tianyu’s heart moved after hearing Shen Mingzhu’s words!
He hugged Shen Mingzhu into his arms: "Haha... You don't have to die! This prince has already thought of a way!"
That’s right, he was drugged and plotted against!
But this medicine was not given by Shen Mingzhu, but by Chu Tianyu!
After all, he is a prince who survived the palace fight, and he has already thought of how to arrange it.
Chu Tianyu thought that his father always liked responsible men.
He couldn't help but say: "Come on, I will take you to the palace and ask my father for permission to make you my concubine!"
Shen Mingzhu looked at him in surprise, with surprise and admiration in her eyes, which soon turned into hesitation and fear: "No, Second Prince, please don't do this! This will anger the emperor! I am of low status and I don't think I am worthy of the Second Prince! It is enough for me to be the Second Prince's person in this life! After this happened, I am a stain on the Second Prince, and the Second Prince must not bring me into the palace! The Second Prince deserves a girl with a better background."
This time Chu Tianyu was really touched: "You care so much about me, how could I possibly let you down! Don't worry, I will definitely ask my father to give you a status!"
"But... ... "
"If you say that again, this prince will be angry!"
Shen Mingzhu: “…”
She looked at the second prince with a touched and worried expression.
"Be good, let's go! Go to the palace and plead guilty. The prince is in front of my father now, who knows what he will say to me. Why don't you go in and speak for me? By the way..."
""
He brought her into the palace just to make his father and the ministers think that even if he was plotted against, he was still a responsible and good prince!
Of course, it is impossible to make her the principal wife. My father will not allow it, and my mother will not allow it either. But a concubine is still possible!

Chu Tiankuo sent Xingnong back only to hear the steward say that the emperor had come quietly!
The two men came to the front hall and bowed respectfully to the emperor.
The emperor's eyes fell on Xingnong: "Are you Shen Xingnong?"
This woman dressed as a man looks quite handsome!
No wonder everyone suspects that the prince is homosexual!
I guess if the heroine were to wipe off the black powder on her face, she would be even prettier!
Xing Nong replied calmly, "Your Majesty, I am the humble girl."
The emperor nodded. Yes, he was not afraid at all when facing him!
He said majestically, "Not a commoner girl! I have already conferred upon you the title of Marquis! Lord Shen, the things you invented are all good! Your contributions are great! The young are truly to be feared. In the future, the prosperity of the Chu State will all be supported by the young elites like you!"
Xing Nong thought of the rewards and said hurriedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will definitely live up to your trust!"
The emperor nodded: "Step aside! I have something to say to the prince."
"Yes!" Xing Nong stepped back.
The emperor looked at Chu Tiankuo and said, "I heard from Prince Ding that you asked someone to bet 100,000 taels at the gambling house? You won 10 million taels?"
His fingers tapped lightly on a document on the table.
Chu Tiankuo nodded: "Yes."
“Are you confident that you can get it back?”
Chu Tiankuo: “No.”
Emperor: “… .”
"Your son intends to use 10 million taels to exchange for the emperor's sister back!"
When the emperor heard this, Tong Kong shrank back, clenched his hands into fists, stammered, and finally said coldly: "Your sister is already the concubine of the king of Zhao, how can you change her back? I don't agree to this!"
Ten million taels is enough to support a lot of soldiers!
God knows how hard he has worked over the years to prevent the Chu State from perishing!
Chu Tiankuo's expression turned cold: "It's my son's money, I can use it however I like. Father, it's none of your business, right?!"
Emperor: “… .”
This brat!
The bigger it gets, the less pleasing it becomes!
The emperor took a deep breath, then picked up a tiger talisman with an inscription on the table and handed it to Chu Tiankuo: "General Xie has handed over the tiger talisman. This is the military talisman for the 50,000 soldiers stationed in Dongshan. 50,000 troops are far from enough to fight against the Zhao army. The Chu State has military service every three years, and this year is the time to recruit soldiers. Dongshan is the military camp with the least soldiers. The Minister of War previously proposed to expand the military strength of Dongshan, and I have approved it! This recruitment is mainly to expand the military strength of Dongshan. Since the Dongshan Army is in your charge, the military service is also in your charge."
Chu Tiankuo stepped forward and took it: "Your son obeys your command!"
The emperor waited for him to take the tiger talisman, then handed her a memorial: "This is the document for Dongshan's expansion! Take a look!"
Chu Tiankuo opened it and took a look.
The general content of the memorial was that the people of all cities in the Chu State must participate in the military service according to the law. They would be recruited according to household registration, and one adult male would be recruited for each household with more than two adults. They could be exempted from military service by paying 10 taels of silver per household.
Families who serve in the military can receive a subsidy of one tael of silver per household, and soldiers who serve in the military can receive half a tael of silver per month. If there is a war and they need to march to fight, they can receive five taels of silver per month. If they die on the battlefield, they can only receive fifty taels of silver? ! ! !
The court planned to recruit 50,000 soldiers to join the Dongshan military camp, and the rest would be appropriately distributed to military camps in various places.
Chu Tiankuo frowned after reading it and looked at the emperor: "Wasn't the subsidy for each household two taels of silver in the past? And didn't the soldiers who died receive a pension of one hundred taels? How come it's all cut in half?!"
The emperor said helplessly, "Natural disasters have occurred frequently in recent years, and harvests have not been good in various places. There is not much money in the treasury, and there is nothing we can do about it! It is difficult to feed the soldiers! Didn't the prince win 10 million taels? If you think it is inappropriate, you can subsidize a little. After all, they are your soldiers!"
The emperor did not say anything, but only the soldiers in Dongshan received this treatment, and the other soldiers were treated the same as before.
Chu Tiankuo: “…”
Haha, it turns out that he had already thought of what to do with his 10 million taels!
Chu Tiankuo didn't say anything. He must keep the military token in his hand and it must not fall into the hands of the Xie family!
The emperor looked at Chu Tiankuo and added in a low voice: "If you can afford it, I allow you to recruit more. But the supplies provided by the court are only calculated based on the amount of 100,000 soldiers. I allow you to do this because I trust you! Do you know?"
Chu Tiankuo: “!!!”
Does this mean he is allowed to train private soldiers? ! ! !
