Chapter 468
The queen covered her heart and coughed a few times, knelt down and said, "The people in my palace have actually discussed the government affairs. I am guilty. Please punish me heavily."
"What are you doing?"
Emperor Meng Yuan helped her stand up with heartache: "The ground is cold, get up and talk. Why are the people from Fengluan Palace talking nonsense about the government?"
Emperor Meng Yuan treated her so gentlely, and the queen stood up with gratitude: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the rule set by the ancestors. The palace maids who served me were useless. After hearing the gossips from outside the palace, I actually came up with an idea to ask me to make suggestions from the emperor and help solve the problem of disaster relief for the cold wave in the northwest. I dealt with her because of this."
Emperor Meng Yuan felt deeply moved when he heard the queen's words.
Concubine Shu used the excuse of giving him warm soup to plead for the Shi family and interfering in the government affairs.
The palace maids of Fengluan Palace were severely punished by the queen if they had an idea for the queen.
It is clear who is truly considering him as the emperor.
Emperor Meng Yuan sat down with heartache: "I don't have to commit the unruly slaves who have ruined the empress's body."
"If she was just taking the initiative this time and giving advice to me, I would at most teach her the rules so that she would not go beyond it. However, when Danyang entered the palace last time, he accidentally told me that when the floods in late spring and early summer, the emperor raised rice and grain for the floods in Huaiping County. The palace maids around her once said that the Shi family, the richest man in the capital, was doing a rice and grain transaction."
The queen was worried: "The adopted son of the Shi family had a scandal with the concubine of the eldest princess's mansion and was arrested by the Jingzhao Mansion. Someone was immediately disgusted by my ears. I have to be careful!"
The queen's words reminded Emperor Meng Yuan.
The case in Jingzhao Mansion was clearly a case where the Shi family's princess hooked up with the eldest princess's concubine, and there was a mistake first. However, half of the ministers in the court actually advocated the punishment of the injured princess.
If even the queen and the palace maids around Danyang were talking to the Shi family.
So is it possible that the Shi family has inserted their hands into the court?
Wanfu Building run by the second son of Qin, the general's mansion, is clearly aware of how the Shi family, who is engaged in the transaction of rice and grain, became the richest man in the capital?
Emperor Meng Yuan was full of suspicion and ordered Changsheng: "I carefully examine the queen and the palace maids around Danyang for me. I want to see if the Shi family wants to cover the sky with one hand?"
Eunuch Chang laughed secretly: "Yes, the emperor!"
The Shi family bought Wanfu Building for 3.8 million taels of silver, but Shi Kou soon had an accident in Xiaozhu, Xuanyue. The Shi family was busy saving their young master, so how could they send someone to take over Wanfu Building?
I heard that the Shi family used all kinds of means to save Shi Kou and were running around these days.
Qin Yaorao held the account book of Wanfulou and asked Su Yu: "I have something that I can't quite understand. Isn't it said that Shi Kou is the adopted son of the Shi family? He was kicked like that by the prince-consort. He is likely to be a useless waste, but the Shi family has used all kinds of means to save him, which is very unusual."
"Since there are so many things, the Shi family is in trouble this time anyway!"
After the Shi family had an accident, Su Yu quickly transferred a manager from Caoyun who was proficient in trading and came to Wanfulou to take over the position of general manager. Now he managed Wanfulou in an orderly manner. Because Shi Kou was imprisoned, Yongshoulou closed the door, and Wanfulou's business became more prosperous.
"I fell into the pit dug by my cousin. The Shi family will even take off a layer of skin if they don't die."
Su Yu was proud, and the door of the warm pavilion was pushed open from the outside: "It seems that during the time I left Beijing, you have taken care of Wanfulou well for my sister..."
