Xie Jingyan offended Long Yan and was wounded by the emperor, which shocked everyone in the court.

But what shocked the officials even more was that the next morning, the emperor announced that the Yun family would be given a gold medal to avoid death.

As soon as these words came out, civil servants and military generals came out to oppose it.

The emotions are more exciting than the last.

Many ministers would never dare to dream of such a thing as a gold medal for immunity from death. How could the emperor give it to a merchant so easily? Yes, the Yun family made a lot of contributions in the Meizhou earthquake, but this credit is far from enough. Let the emperor give him a gold medal to avoid death.

How many ministers have made great contributions to the court, especially the generals who guard the borders and protect the people, but the credit is not inferior to that of the Yun family, so it is given to the Yun family so easily. This is the heart of Han's meritorious ministers.

The Assembly Hall has not been so noisy for many years, and there is almost one-sided opposition.

Until the emperor told the officials that the people behind the Yun family not only anticipated the Meizhou earthquake, but also the collapse of the Xizhou dam and the flooding in Yuzhou, which could help the court prepare for it in time and minimize the losses.

The opposition from the officials was a little weaker, but they still felt it was not enough.

The emperor said, "Add another two million taels, don't you think it's enough, dear sirs?"

Officials, "..."

There is nothing left to say.

How many people have traveled thousands of miles to become officials just for money, risking the death of the nine tribes for corruption. The Yun family actually gave the court two million taels in exchange for a gold medal to avoid death.

The death-free gold medal is great, but it can only save one life. What kind of life is worth so much credit plus two million taels?

The emperor has wanted to build a cavalry force since he was young, but the treasury has been empty every year and the plan has been delayed. Until today, there are two million taels, which is enough to supply the cost of the cavalry for three years. Once the cavalry is built, it will be invincible on the battlefield. , the supplies captured are enough to be self-sufficient.

Xie Jingyan tempted the emperor with the iron cavalry, and then the emperor relented and gave the Yun family a gold medal to avoid death.

The civil and military officials also know that the emperor has this idea. Now that the Yun family can help the emperor realize it, who dares to object? The iron cavalry are all waving to the emperor, because they are fooled. If they turn around and commit some trouble, they will fall into the hands of the emperor. They could have done it What should I do if I turn a blind eye and forget it, and in the end I take strict measures and confiscate their homes to collect the money?

One by one, stand back and no longer object.

After the morning court, the gold medal for immunity from death was delivered to the Yun family, and it was Eunuch Yun who delivered it in person.

Old Mrs. Yun didn't go crazy with joy. He pinched himself five or six times just to receive the order, fearing that he was dreaming. Although Yun Qi had told him that the death-free gold medal was for him to propose marriage, and the Yun family could not keep it.

But it doesn't matter if you can't keep it. Having it once is enough to honor your ancestors.

As for money, the Yun family has so much money that it has become the bane of the Yun family. It is well spent on building iron cavalry for the court and protecting the family and the country, especially when the emperor has given Pingyang the important task of building the iron cavalry. Hou, this is also the reason why Yun Qi didn't discuss it with Old Master Yun, so he just agreed and got the whole thing together.

The Yun family sticks to their duties in doing business and does not cause trouble to Marquis Pingyang. However, if Marquis Pingyang collapses one day, the Yun family's fat piece of meat will be exposed on the street, and everyone will want to pounce on it and take a bite. At that time, it was unclear who would benefit from the family fortune accumulated by the Yun family for generations.

The joy and pride of the Yun family cannot be described in words.

……

Besides, Xie Jingyan offended the emperor and was hit on the forehead by the emperor. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and he was almost healed after two days of recovery.

The Yun family was delighted to win a gold medal for avoiding death, and Yun Mo was about to get married. As soon as Xie Jingyan recovered from his injury, Shen Wan couldn't wait to go to the Yun family to congratulate him and give him gifts.

On this day, after breakfast, Shen Wan took Yinshuang out of the house and took a carriage to Yun's house.

Without Xie Jingyan, Shen Wan and Yin Shuang were more relaxed in the carriage. Yin Shuang opened the curtain, and Shen Wan could see people passing by outside.

But looking at it, Shen Wan frowned.

I saw my eldest brother riding a horse not far away. It was not surprising that my eldest brother was riding a horse, but what was strange was that he caught someone on the horse. He looked familiar from a distance.

Shen Wan saw Shen Du, and Shen Du also saw her and rode over immediately.

When she got closer, Shen Wan saw clearly who her elder brother was arresting, and was even more surprised.

Because it’s not someone else he’s arresting, but his eldest cousin.

Shen Wan said, "Brother, what's wrong with my cousin?"

Shen Du said, "I knocked him unconscious and prepared to send him back to the Yun family."

Shen Wan's eyes widened, "Why did eldest brother knock out eldest cousin?"

Shen Du said, "Didn't you tell the Yun family not to let him go to Huguo Temple? I just came back from Huguo Temple and met him on the road. The boy couldn't stop him, so he asked me to persuade him. He If he insists on going, I have no choice but to knock him out."

You don't have to listen to what your sister tells you to do, but you can't do anything you don't want to do.

Shen Du, who witnessed the Meizhou earthquake with his own eyes and escaped the disaster of falling from a horse because of Shen Wan, felt sincerely.

Shen Wan asked strangely, "Why does my eldest cousin have to go to Huguo Temple?"

Shen Du shook his head, "The boy said that someone asked my cousin to meet him at Huguo Temple, but when I asked who it was, my cousin refused to tell me. I couldn't explain it to him even if I tried to help him."

Could it be that County Lord Qinghe asked his eldest cousin to meet?

This is possible, after all, the eldest cousin left the capital without even saying hello, and the head of Qinghe County even asked her where his eldest cousin had gone.

Shen Wan said, "I know who the eldest cousin is going to see. Let me explain it to him, lest she misunderstand that he deliberately missed her date."

Shen Du looked at Shen Wan, "It takes a lot of time to go to Huguo Temple. Don't you want to delay your own business?"

Shen Wan shook his head, "I just went to Yun's house to give my cousin some make-up. It's okay if I go later. I had planned to go to Huguo Temple to pray for the prince, but I never went. It happened that we did both things at the same time."

Xie Jingyan still has to rely on candied haws to suppress his vomiting syndrome. Seeking medical advice is of no use, so he can only try praying to gods and Buddhas.

This was the most appropriate thing for Shen Wan. With Chen Yu accompanying him for protection and secret guards, there was no need to worry about anything happening to Shen Wan, so Shen Du nodded.

Shen Du rode Yun Qi back to Yun's house on horseback, while Shen Wan changed his route to Huguo Temple.

As the carriage gurgled forward, no one noticed a pair of gloomy eyes at the open window on the second floor of the restaurant next to it.

Xie Jingyin watched the carriage go away and disappear from sight.

There was a murderous look in his eyes.
