Destined to love the concubine, the regent can tease and coax
Chapter 181 Money moves people’s hearts
The news that the prince was coming to the General's Mansion to propose marriage spread throughout the General's Mansion as quickly as possible, and everyone was talking about the gift Murong Bai gave him.
I don't know who spread the news that the betrothal gift sent this time was very expensive. In addition to some rare treasures, there were also some precious antiques that filled the mansion.
Although it is not that outrageous, the betrothal gift sent by the prince is still a large amount of money.
In Kyoto, almost all the daughters of aristocratic families were full of envy for Liang Yu'er, especially those from aristocratic families who were active in the garden.
Of course, there were also jealous people, so Xu Qiubai felt the hostility towards him at the court meeting the next day.
The civil servants and military officers were already at odds with each other, and after today, the situation became even more tense.
At the court meeting, the emperor looked at the angry ministers and unconsciously touched his fingers.
Especially Mr. Lu, who had just been demoted to the lower fifth rank, was the first to jump up and reprimand Xu Qiubai and Murong Bai in person.
"Your Majesty, although the government affairs are not as urgent as before, it is wrong for the prince to be so extravagant and extravagant. Spending so much money on a woman is also an insult to the dignity of the royal family." Dr. Lu knelt down and said to Murong Bai He was very distressed by what he had done.
Xu Qiubai glared at Mr. Lu and said angrily: "What does the prince's gift have to do with you?"
Mr. Lu raised his head, his eyes fell on Xu Qiubai, a flash of hatred flashed in his eyes, and he said sternly: "Your Majesty, I also think about the common people in the world. I am afraid that the prince's move will disappoint the common people."
"What Mr. Lu said is absolutely true." Prime Minister Ji, who was sitting in the first place, said.
"My subordinate agrees."
Xu Qiubai's face turned red, and just as he was about to speak, an older general next to him stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Marshal Mu has made great contributions to us, and now her marriage has been ruined by a betrothal gift. You are like this Wouldn’t it chill us if we do it?”
"I get angry when I see them. Why don't I go to the front line? They are getting married and they still interfere. Isn't it jealous?"
Xu Qiubai felt warm in his heart, these people were on his side.
Prime Minister Ji glanced at him, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, and continued: "Of course we are very happy that Miss Mu can marry the prince, but if this continues, others will follow suit. What should we do? Do the people still want to live? Already?"
"Damn it, other families don't have this ability, and they won't cause trouble for the prince. Lao Ji, are you going too far and want to shift the responsibility to the prince?" Xu Qiubai's men put their hands on their hips and yelled at Prime Minister Ji. .
A veteran walking at the front also nodded with deep understanding.
Murong Bai lowered his head and remained silent, but if anyone observed carefully, they would find that his expression was not pretty.
The emperor watched this scene with great interest and showed no sign of stopping it for a long time. The eunuch next to him watched the emperor carefully and would stop him immediately if he showed any sign of displeasure.
Prime Minister Ji had followed the emperor for many years and understood the emperor's thoughts very well. He looked at Murong Bai again and said coldly: "Your Majesty, should you give us an explanation?"
"What do you have to explain?" The prince raised his head, looked at Prime Minister Ji with an indifferent expression, and sneered: "I still remember that Marshal Mu once said when I hired him that I had already emptied the entire prince's palace. , now what you are saying seems to be that I am greedy for ink?"
"No." Prime Minister Ji's face darkened, he looked at the emperor, coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment, and continued: "What the prince is doing is too ridiculous. What if others follow suit?"
"If they really had this ability, the prime minister would have asked them to get married long ago." Murong Bai frowned, sneered, and pushed Ji Cheng into the fire pit.
Seeing that Prime Minister Ji was beaten to a pulp, Mr. Lu turned his attention to Yan Shu and said coldly: "Your Majesty, where did your money come from? How come you have so many treasures? Your Majesty is too generous. !”
"Ha!" Murong Bai put his hands behind his back and stared at Mr. Lu in front of him coldly, with a trace of mockery in his eyes.
He glanced at the emperor who was watching this scene with great interest, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, you are too forgetful. After I left, all her relics were sent to the prince's palace. Have you forgotten?"
"This……"
"Your Majesty, I think they are here to cause trouble. This matter is not the fault of the prince, but of those self-righteous officials."
"Your Majesty, please seek justice." The generals said in unison.
"What a bunch of rough guys, they know nothing! They might as well defend the city." A civil servant mocked.
After the words fell, the entire hall fell silent.
After a short silence, a general stepped forward, glared at the soldiers on the opposite side, and said, "Who is so blind and dares to say that? I want to fight you."
"Yes, get out of here. If I don't beat you to death, I will take your surname." Xu Qiubai was also startled, wiped his hands with cold sweat, and looked nervously at the leading general.
However, he smiled slightly at Xu Qiubai, rolled up his sleeves, and looked eager to try.
Most of the civil servants are well-read people. If there is a fight, no matter who their opponents are, they all lower their heads and pretend not to see it.
"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Come on!" The man in black robe sneered.
"Okay, where do you think my palace is? Do you want me to draw a stage for you?" The emperor said in a low voice, as if he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
"The humble minister is guilty, please don't be angry, Your Majesty."
The emperor sneered and stared at Murong Bai coldly, looking aloof.
"Shur, I know you are really interested in Miss Mu. Now that you are getting married, you will also be an adult woman in the future. You still have to be careful in your actions."
In the end, he passed the responsibility to Murong Bai.
Murong Bai bowed respectfully, glanced at Ji Xiang, who was secretly happy, and whispered: "My child knows, father, I will do whatever you say."
The matter ends here.
The emperor waved his hands impatiently, turned around and left.
After the emperor left, Xu Qiubai glanced at the civil servants and said seriously: "Mu has remembered what happened today. Please pay attention to your safety in the future."
If this revenge is not avenged, he will no longer be Xu Qiubai!
The other generals also nodded repeatedly, indicating that they must take revenge.
After the court meeting, Murong Bai was returning to his palace leisurely when a pair of big palms reached out from behind and patted his shoulders gently.
He turned around and saw the black-robed general behind Xu Qiubai.
"Haha, the prince is just a man. Is it possible that you still want to go to the prince's mansion? He left before dawn. Do you want to go for a drink together?"
