Chapter 424
In the imperial study in the palace, the emperor kept the Han king to discuss the cold wave in the northwest.
"Snow is already falling in the north. The first snow this year comes early. If it gets colder, the border between Mongolia and the northwest will encounter a once-in-a-ten-year cold wave."
The King of Han continued: "The emperor's brother should be glad that the old general Qin attacked the Dragon Court of the Desert by surprise. The desert dared not invade, and the people would not suffer. The general's mansion made great contributions."
His emperor brother really favors his wife as if he is alive.
Because my sister-in-law always remembers to perform her merits in front of him.
Emperor Meng Yuan looked helpless: "The General's Mansion has made such a wonderful contribution. Do I still want to promise the Princess of the Desert to the Second Prince Qin to marry?"
"No, my brother-in-law has left Beijing. He looks down on the little princess from the desert."
The King of Han retorted bluntly: "The emperor's brother should keep it and let those who have ulterior motives compete!"
Emperor Meng Yuan was furious!
Listen, what is this?
The princess of the desert that his second brother-in-law looked down upon was kept for his princes to fight for.
It turns out that his status in his heart is not as good as his second brother-in-law who has left Beijing?
But honest words are unpleasant!
Emperor Meng Yuan thought about it carefully. A few undercurrents wanted to get married to Damo, but they had ulterior motives. No one really wanted to share his worries, and they all had small plans.
"I also know that the General's Mansion has made outstanding contributions!"
Emperor Meng Yuan said with a good temper: "Are you blamed me for revoking my position as the Prince Consort Shenji Camp? I also thought about Danyang, so I climbed through the New Year's Eve and found an excuse to restore him to his post."
After receiving this promise, the King of Han said softly: "The emperor's brother called me to come to the imperial study to raise money for disaster relief from the Northwest Cold Tide?"
"Those who know me are the emperor's brother!"
The Emperor of Meng Yuan sighed: "In the battle between the desert last year and the beginning of the year, although Mongolia won a great victory, it consumed the national treasury food and grass. In addition, the silver spent on floods and plagues this year, the national treasury has not had much silver subsidy for this cold wave."
The King of Han said slowly: "I have a way to do it."
"What method?"
Emperor Meng Yuan was worried about the empty treasury and said anxiously: "Tell me your method."
"I heard that the Shi family is rich enough to rival a country..."
The Shi family, the richest man in the capital?
A glimmer flashed through Emperor Meng Yuan's eyes.
If the Shi family could lend a helping hand, the court would indeed have money and excessively over the cold disaster on the northwest border. Just wait until the taxes are replenished at the end of the year, and the national treasury will be sufficient.
However, how to make the Shi family willing to take out this money must be far-sighted!
Emperor Meng Yuan was pondering, and the King of Han did not disturb him.
He has not found out that the Shi family and the Jinfenglou are involved in the behind-the-scenes envoy, and the court is not so anxious to raise enough money for the cold wave to be affected. Let’s mention the Shi family, who has stumbling over his princess, and lay the groundwork in front of the emperor’s brother.
The emperor was thinking about the proposal of the King of Han, and the imperial study was silent. At this time, the leader of the imperial guard came in and reported: "Report to the emperor, the Empress Dowager left the palace and visited privately!"
The emperor didn't even care about the matter of raising money for disaster relief in the Northwest Cold Tide, and said in surprise: "Why did the Empress suddenly leave the palace? If the Empress does something wrong, I will definitely ask you."
"The Empress Dowager went out of the palace to Wanfu Building. Now the princess and Princess Min are accompanying her, and she is safe for the time being."
