The servant said: "Back to the master, Prince Zhongshun looks a little bad, bleeding a little..."

"pass!"

……

After the trial, Emperor Long'an looked at the Zhongshun Wang Li You who was kneeling and weeping bitterly, his face was ashen, and said: "In the House of Internal Affairs, did you interfere?"

Li You paused when he heard the words, and said: "Your Majesty, I have someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs...but I really didn't steal three or four hundred thousand taels of silver. Xiao Wu'er and Jia Qiang opened their mouths, and they couldn't even show the account books. They came as soon as they opened their mouths! Your Majesty, the two of them wanted to force their way into the palace treasury, saying that they wanted to investigate some purple scarlet talisman, but the minister went to stop him, but they were pushed by the two of them, bleeding all over the place! Your Majesty , I am loyal to the emperor, and I am still Xiao Wu's uncle... Forget about Xiao Wu, he is my nephew, I don't blame him. The main thing is Jia Qiang, my minister was so humiliated by Yi Zhuzi, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Long'an looked at Li You with gloomy eyes, and said, "You didn't take three or four million taels of silver, how did you buy so many Zhuangzi? The total is almost 40 mu, the world's richest man! Do you know how many people have lived in these two days? Impeach you?"

The impeachment of Li You is second only to the impeachment of Jia Qiang and Li Xuan...

Li You hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this must be because the ministers were in the clan's residence yesterday and asked the princes' residences to pay off the money owed by the House of Internal Affairs. They all know that the minister is loyal to the emperor, so they want to get rid of the minister."

Emperor Long'an naturally knew it too, he said: "Go back first, I will deal with this matter myself. In addition, don't take those Zhuangzi too seriously, otherwise there will only be more and more people impeaching you, so many that I can't keep it you."

When Li You heard this, his face was ugly and he said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a large family and their livelihood is difficult..."

Emperor Long'an said coldly: "It won't be so difficult if you don't raise a few opera troupes..." Seeing Li You's expression of displeasure, he sighed in his heart and said, "Go back first, I will let Li Xuan give it to you in the future." You send a piece of wealth, as for whether you can grasp it, it depends on yourself."

Li You's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he resigned with hope.

After Li You left, Emperor Long'an asked, "Where are Li Xuan and Jia Qiang now?"

Dai Quan went out to inquire for a while, then came back and said: "Your Majesty, the prince and Marquis Ning are currently in Fengzao Palace, where the empress is."

Emperor Long'an nodded, stood up and said, "Show me Fengzao Palace!"

687 Chapter Chen Recommends the Empress as the Chief Owner!

Imperial City, Fengzao Palace.

As soon as Emperor Long'an walked outside the East Nuan Pavilion of the side hall and stopped Zhao Rongcai's concubines from seeing the ceremony, he heard a strange cry from inside...

"Today...drinking the celebration wine...the ambition is unrewarded...I will never stop!"

This strange and out-of-the-ordinary voice made Emperor Long'an twitch the corners of his mouth, and his complexion gradually became strange.

Hearing the owner of the voice again, his bastard son Li Xuan scolded angrily: "Jia Qiang, I told you to sing but you didn't sing, let me sing first, I sing so beautifully, you still make fun of me?"

"Hahaha!"

Jia Qiang's laughter burst out, followed by Queen Yin's gentle and charming laughter.

Li Xuan was obviously furious, and was about to go crazy, and yelled: "Mother!!"

After all, Empress Yin still favored her son, and said: "Jia Qiang, it's your turn! Since you said just now, let Xiao Wuer sing first. Now that he's done singing, it's your turn."

Jia Qiang's helpless voice sounded: "Madam, I didn't say that I would sing... It was the prince himself who was happy, and insisted on showing off!"

Li Xuan quacked: "It was you who overthrew Zhongshun Wang Li You and came out of the palace to sing happily!"

Jia Qiang said "Hey" and reminded: "My lord, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. Prince Zhongshun saw that the embroidered guards had copied the treasures of the House of Internal Affairs from his silver treasury, which were presented by Fan Bang to the emperor. , He also dared to hide it. After being exposed, he came up and beat me in a fit of shame, but inadvertently tripped over his left foot and tripped over his right foot, and then fell, and I have nothing to do with it!"

Li Xuan laughed and said, "That's right, if you say it's nothing to do, then it's nothing to do, and if you trip over your left foot and your right foot... just be a master! Sing, sing, my mother's words are also the will, Yizhi! Jia Qiang, you still dare to resist the order..." Say it?He also said to Empress Yin: "Mother? Listen to me today. Have you ever seen someone arrogant? Have you ever seen someone so arrogant! Listen!"

Empress Yin said with a smile: "Jia Qiang? Come and listen to the song. There are no outsiders here, who will laugh at you? Look at Li Xuan's singing."

Jia Qiang obviously couldn't shirk it?After clearing her throat, she opened her mouth and said, "Your Majesty? Is the subject different from the prince? I still have to face..."

"Jia Qiang! I see you are just trying to die!"

This turning point almost missed Li Xuan's waist, making him furious.

In front of his mother, he is obviously willing to be a son of his mother.

Because the more people who have lived in this deep palace, the most noble in the world, the more they know how cold and ruthless this palace is.

so?Is Li Xuan really willing to lose face?Make Queen Yin happy.

At the request of Queen Yin again, Jia Qiang finally sang:

"Today, I drank the wine to celebrate my victory, and I will never stop swearing until my ambition is not rewarded! In the future, I will show my talents and write my spring and autumn with blood!"

Just four short sentences, very plain drama?In fact, it’s not even Peking Opera, it’s just a model opera from a certain period...

And what is often heard in the palace now?There are seven or eight allusions to Kunqu opera that can be pulled out in one sentence, let alone one.

but?Although the diction is simple and plain, it vividly expresses the pride and will in the singer's heart.

Empress Yin looked at Jia Qiang?She pursed her lips and smiled, "Jia Qiang? Your ambition is unpaid? What is unpaid ambition?"

Li Xuan covered her head and said, "Mother, don't ask, it's overseas, this guy is stunned!"

Empress Yin laughed immediately, but Jia Qiang refused to accept it, saying: "Going overseas is just a means, and bringing back those powerful means from the West to Dayan can be regarded as benefiting the country and the people! Isn't this an ambition?"

Empress Yin said with a smile: "In ancient times there was a Master Sanzang who learned scriptures from the west, and now there is Master Dayan who seeks skill from the west... I don't know if your ambition will become a good story in the future."

"Humph!"

As soon as the words were finished, Emperor Long'an walked in and said, "Where are you now, and you're starting to drink the celebration wine?"

Seeing Emperor Long'an coming in, Empress Yin was obviously pleasantly surprised, stood up to greet her, smiled and said: "These two, today said that they have made great achievements, and said that the errand entrusted to them by the emperor only took two days to complete. Planning to go hunting outside the city in two days."

When Emperor Long'an heard the words, he looked at the two of them with scrutiny.

Apparently, both of them became cautious, not as happy as laughing and singing just now...

Emperor Long'an looked at Jia Qiang and said, "You still go hunting? You were ambushed and killed last night, so you don't have a long memory? You don't rush to death like that?"

Jia Qiang said: "Your Majesty, I don't want to go now. After a few days, the prince will straighten out the clan, and the minister will straighten out the side of the honored minister. If anyone wants to assassinate the minister, those who want to offend will go to sea." Yes! They want to get rich, and the protectors are too late, so who would be willing to kill the ministers?"

Looking at Jia Qiang's young face full of self-confidence, Emperor Long'an didn't know what to say for a moment.

Sure enough, according to what Jia Qiang said, the annual dividends to those people are several thousand taels of silver a year, which is equivalent to the harvest of seven or eight big Zhuangzi in a year, and those people really want to give him three points...

only……

Emperor Long'an frowned and said, "There are really so many? If they take one share, they can get three to five thousand taels, and one share is three to five million taels. I account for 5000%, so don't they have to collect millions of taels a year? The treasury of the Ministry of Households You only collect 50 million taels of tax silver in a year. You have a Ministry of Internal Affairs, can you get 4000% of the national treasury? Everyone fights one hundred against one, and one against ten thousand is amazing. How dare you imagine that you can use one against the taxes of tens of millions of people ?”

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is really nothing new, and it's not something I can do. If you invite the owner of the Thirteenth Bank in Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, and delegate power to him with great trust, he will probably Even better than the minister. The minister is only a half-baked businessman, and in the eyes of those Shanxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, and Cantonese merchants, I am afraid that he is not even Zhongping."
