Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

It is no exaggeration to say that the hall was full of uproar when Qin Hao said this.

Who doesn't know the close relationship between the fifth prince Qin Hao and the third prince Qin Lu?On weekdays, the fifth prince also defends the third prince the most?

But now the fifth prince is uncharacteristically saying that he is here to plead guilty to the emperor on behalf of the third prince?

The reason for pleading guilty or because of that ridiculous gamble?

Are the two brothers falling out now, or is there really something going on in it?

All of a sudden, the officials started to exchange glances and guess what Qin Hao's real intention was.

Even the ministers of the eldest prince's party were a little confused by Qin Hao's sudden move.

In the end, it was Qin Yuan who spoke out and stabilized the situation in the hall:

"Apology? Why apology?"

After hearing Qin Yuan's voice, the ministers quickly put away their eyes that were flying around the hall.

One by one lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, and began to look at their noses and their hearts.

"Father, it's like this. Only yesterday did Brother Sanhuang learn that Sanhuang's sister-in-law also participated in this bet before her wedding because of her love of fun."

Qin Hao spoke calmly and answered clearly.

"If you charge it, you will charge it. There is nothing to apologize for."

Qin Yuan's tone was a little casual, obviously feeling that Qin Hao and Qin Lu were making a fuss over a molehill.

"If it's a simple bet, there's really no need for my son to come and plead guilty."

Qin Hao first agreed with Qin Yuan's words, and then changed the subject:

"But Sanhuang's Wife not only made a bet, but even won a lot. Brother Sanhuang was deeply terrified by the accident, and that's why I asked my son to plead guilty."

"Huh? You won a lot? How much is a lot?"

At this time, Qin Yuan's tone was as casual as before, obviously he didn't take Qin Hao's "not a lot" to heart.

Unexpectedly, Qin Hao's following sentence directly broke the guess in his heart:

"Returning to my father, this is quite a lot. It refers to 120 million to 5000 taels."

"Cough...cough! How much did you say?" Even Qin Yuan was shocked by this number.

"Return to father, 120 to 5000 taels." Qin Hao lowered his head and repeated the number again.

After making sure that he heard correctly, the carelessness on Qin Yuan's face dissipated a little, and there was a seriousness in his eyes.

And those ministers who were watching their noses and noses and their hearts carefully exchanged glances again.

It's not that Qin Yuan and these ministers couldn't hold their breath, but

It's because Tianqi is really poor now!

Tianqi has been fighting continuously since the previous dynasty, and ten years ago, the fighting situation reached its peak.

Although the situation has improved a lot due to the emergence of Qin Lu in recent years, it cannot conceal the fact that Tianqi has fought wars with neighboring countries for decades.

If it weren't for Tianqi Kingdom's unique geographical conditions, vast land and abundant resources.

I'm afraid that just these large and small wars will exhaust Tianqi!

It is also because of this that the treasury of Tianqi Kingdom has been in deficit since ten years ago.

The annual tax revenue seems to be a lot, but inside it is still beyond the means, and the original inventory of the national treasury needs to be consumed every year.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is not easy for Qin Yuan to spend 120 million taels in one go.

Now hearing that Gu Yanshu won a sum of money that he couldn't even afford by relying on a simple gamble, how could this not surprise Qin Yuan?

"Originally, Brother Sanhuang didn't intend to go to the gambling shop to get the money back, but thinking about the current shortage of food and grass for the armed forces and the empty treasury, he finally decided to go to the gambling shop to get the money back shamelessly."

At this time, Qin Hao, who had been kneeling on the ground, spoke again, and what he said was so grand.

Qin Hao's words sounded good, but Qin Sheng and the officials of the household department in the hall turned pale after hearing these words.

What does it mean to have to take this money because of the shortage of food and grass in the armed forces and the empty treasury?

Weren't you very happy and proud when you went to get the money yesterday?

Just when Qin Sheng winked at the officials under him, signaling him to come forward to refute Qin Hao's remarks, Qin Hao didn't give them a chance to speak.

After a pause, he spoke again:

"Third Emperor brother got the money back, but he was very scared, so now the child minister came to plead guilty to the father, and expressed his willingness to donate all the money to fill the needs of the national treasury."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers could no longer care about Qin Yuan who was still sitting in the hall, and all exclaimed:

"what?"

"Donate everything?"

"1201 million taels of silver, His Royal Highness Li Wang doesn't plan to keep it at all?"

……

But those who can stand on the Golden Luan Temple are all old fritters who have been officials for several years.

After a brief surprise, they all came back to their senses one after another, and suppressed the excitement in their hearts.

Thousands of thoughts.

Not long after, the hall regained its calm.

At this time, Qin Yuan slowly said:

"Wang Li really said that?"

"Returning to Emperor Father, I dare not deceive you. Brother Sanhuang indeed said so." Qin Hao bowed his body and spoke respectfully.

"1201 million taels, is he willing?" Qin Yuan asked in a deep voice, with mixed emotions.

"Returning to my father, brother Sanhuang said that this was a windfall, and there is nothing he can't bear to part with. Besides, it's going to be winter soon, and brother Sanhuang also wants to add clothes and meals for the soldiers of the three armies in winter. Divide the meager strength, and ask the father to complete it."

Qin Hao answered politely.

After hearing this, Qin Yuan didn't say whether it was perfect or not, but after a slight silence, he asked another question:

"I remember you just said that Princess Li went to the gambling house to bet because of her fun before the wedding?"

"Yes." Qin Hao nodded.

"What about Princess Li? Does he have any objection to what King Li did?" Qin Yuan continued to ask.

"Returning to the words of the father, the wife of the third emperor said that he would bet at the beginning, one because he was greedy for fun, and the other was because he saw that the gambling shop opened such a game and ruined the reputation of the third emperor. It is really hateful. I did it out of anger. This nonsense happened."

Qin Hao stabilized his mind, took a breath, and after a slight pause, continued:

"Sister-in-law Sanhuang didn't bet for money in the first place, so she has no objection to brother Sanhuang's arrangement."

After Qin Hao finished speaking, Qin Yuan didn't ask any other questions, but he didn't speak any more.

For a moment, the hall fell into an unprecedented silence.

Just when the ministers were muttering in their hearts, Qin Yuan finally spoke. Once he spoke, he praised Qin Lu and Gu Yanshu:

"It's very good that King Li and Princess Li have such intentions."

Is this ready to take over the 120 million taels?

Just as the ministers were thinking in this way, Qin Yuan's next words let them know that their thinking was completely wrong.

Hearing Qin Yuan change the subject, he directly refuted Qin Hao's request:

"Although the national treasury is in short supply, Tianqi and Zhen can still support the soldiers and common people of the three armies. It is far from the point where we need to use the princess's money."

"This..." Qin Hao's tone hesitated, as if he was not sure whether he should agree or not.

"Since what you just said, it is already a good idea for the casino to open such a game.

However, if King Li's reputation is ruined, then let King Li take this money as an apology from the gambling house, and accept it, so don't feel panic. "

Xu knew why Qin Hao was hesitating in his heart, Qin Yuan spoke again, his tone as calm as ever.

"Yes." This time, Qin Hao finally complied with Qin Yuan's words, and at the same time, he did not forget to lean over to thank him, "Then I have thanked my father on behalf of the third brother."

"Well, you can get flat." Qin Yuan waved his hand slightly, indicating that Qin Hao could step back.

Qin Hao didn't leave any ink marks when he saw this, and quickly bowed his head to thank him, then stood up from the ground, took two steps back, and returned directly to his original position.

After Qin Hao stood still, Qin Yuan turned his attention to another person in the crowd:

"What was Zheng Aiqing's announcement just now?"

But Zheng Yaoguang who was named Zheng Aiqing trembled all over at this time, with a tangled expression on his face:

What else could he do?

He just stood up because he wanted to impeach Li Wang Qin Lu for using gambling to amass money!

As a result, the fifth prince didn't give him a chance to speak at all!

Now the fifth prince has already said what he wanted to say.

The emperor has even made a conclusion on this matter, the money is the loss of reputation paid by the gambling house to King Li, what else can he say?

But Qin Yuan had already called his name, and Zheng Yaoguang couldn't pretend that he didn't hear it.

In the end, he could only walk out of the crowd with a sad face on his face:

"Report to the emperor, I have nothing to do."

"Since there is nothing wrong, let's retreat."

Fortunately, Qin Yuan had seen quite a few cases of his ministers back and forth, and had no intention of pursuing such trivial matters.

After waving his hand casually, he stood up from the dragon chair, turned and left the hall.

After Qin Yuan left, the ministers turned around and walked out the door in twos and threes.

Perhaps it was because of Qin Hao's behavior in the palace just now that many ministers paid a little attention to him.

At this time, those ministers who were paying attention to Qin Hao found out.

Qin Hao did not leave directly after making the court as usual, but turned around and walked towards Qin Sheng who was some distance away from him.

"Brother Emperor, are you feeling unwell? Why do you think your face is a little ugly?"

Qin Hao seemed to be saying caring words, but no matter in his tone or expression, there was a sense of gloating and gaining that could not be concealed.

meaning.

Only at this time did everyone realize that the eldest prince Qin Sheng's expression was so low that he seemed to scare him to death.

After Qin Hao's words fell, Qin Sheng's expression became uglier than before:

"Don't bother Brother Wuhuang, this hall is very good!"

After saying this in a slightly aggressive tone, Qin Sheng walked out of the hall directly, without giving Qin Hao any face.

And what about Qin Hao?

Obviously, he didn't care about Qin Sheng's attitude at all.

Not to mention that the smile on his face was not affected in the slightest, the joyful appearance almost hummed a little song.

After leaving the palace, Qin Hao didn't go back to his Fifth Prince's Mansion, but made people turn around and go directly to Prince Li's Mansion.

People who are familiar with Qin Hao can see his appearance at this time, and they know that he is going to report his results to Qin Hao.
