Three days later, Zhu Zhelin went directly to Taiziling. This time, the official who embezzled Henan's disaster relief food funds was directly executed. As expected, this was an official whose highest official position was no more than fifth rank! The remaining officials involved will be fined or demoted!
Two days later, Zhu Zhelin raised a total of 10 million taels of silver and sent it directly to the Shili Pavilion outside Qilin Camp. Tang Tianli and others directly took all the silver and placed it in the military camp!
Zhu Yuejun invited Zhao Xuanyi to Tayunxuan during the day. The two sat on the water loft in the front hall. Zhu Yuejun personally poured a cup of tea for Zhao Xuanyi. "Are you satisfied with this result?"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard the news, he shook his head helplessly, "It was originally your royal family's own game. Is it useful for us ordinary people to talk? But I want to say something serious to you. This time, the prince has played such a trick. I will benefit a little bit." If we didn’t get it, we would starve to death thousands or even tens of thousands of people for no reason, please tell the emperor!”
"The current situation is not that the people forgive you, but that there are few people in Henan who can breathe. If you let the prince continue to play like this, when the people rise up one day, will they say that Ye Yuanzhi did not succeed in his rebellion? , It’s such a pity! When the time comes, I’ll ask the emperor! Do you regret taking the medicine? Prince? Huh!”
Hearing Zhao Xuanyi's cold snort, Zhu Yuejun's expression was not very good, but there was a trace of fear in his eyes: "What do you mean by this?"
"I don't mean anything!" Zhao Xuanyi turned to look aside and said.
"Yi Lang, our relationship is not ordinary. I don't want you to hide anything from me, so tell me, okay?" Zhu Yuejun felt that Zhao Xuanyi was forbearing, and not just forbearing. It seemed like something big was going to happen!
Zhao Xuanyi gritted his teeth and turned to look at Nan Zhu and Xilan coldly. "Get out!" Zhao Xuanyi said softly.
"What?" Xilan was a little dissatisfied, she actually ordered me?
"Get out!" Zhao Xuanyi roared angrily!
Nanzhu was so frightened that he quickly winked at the other maids. All four maids withdrew and stayed away from the front hall, not daring to eavesdrop!
Xilan came to the side hall and was very dissatisfied, "What's so magical about him? If it weren't for the protection of the eldest princess, would he dare to be so arrogant?"
Nanzhu looked at Xilan and snorted coldly, "Listen to my advice and prepare some bruise wine and gold sore medicine. You will need it!"
After Xilan heard this, her eyes widened, "What do you mean by that? Does he still dare to hit me? Yuan Mei, you are the judge!"
Yan Mei smiled slightly and said, "Xilan, if you want to die, can you not get involved with us? You can't stand Zhao Xuanyi, so tell the eldest princess that we like him very much!"
"You?" Xilan closed her mouth and stood aside sulking!
Zhu Yuejun looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "There are only you and me at the moment. Tell me the truth. Don't you want to help the prince?"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "I don't want to hide it between you and me. I'll tell you clearly. If Zhu Zhelin wants to sit on the throne, I won't help him. He will sit on his own merits. I won't assist him and I will resign directly." Do, even this idiot can be a prince. Is there really no one in your royal family? He actually took money from the victims. How did he do it? Or... is this the education of your royal family? "Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhu Yuejun and asked.
When Zhu Yuejun heard Zhao Xuanyi's words, his face turned red and green. "Yi Lang, you must never say this again!"
"What the hell can't I say? At worst, I'm not in the Ming Dynasty. I'll live like this in other countries. I can't stand a beast like Zhu Zhelin! Other emperors love the people like their own children, but he's so nice, eating steamed buns with human blood. , sleeping on a human leather seat, it’s very comfortable. If a person like this becomes the emperor, don’t you think your luck will be too long next year?”
"That's enough!" Zhu Yuejun shouted coldly, "We can teach him if he is wrong. No matter what, he is still a prince. Don't you think it is too much for you to slander the royal family like this?"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Zhu Yuejun, frowned, looked at Zhu Yuejun quietly, then smiled and took a deep breath, "I... I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing! I deserve death. The prince did the right thing, but I did the wrong thing. , I shouldn’t be involved in this matter, just like the Celestial Sect back then!”
Zhao Xuanyi slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Zhu Yuejun, "As a minister, I should not care about the affairs of the royal family. I was wrong! Whatever the royal family does is right, just like when they handed over the Qilin Guard to Liang Yun! I am too much It was my fault to meddle in other people’s business!”
Seeing Zhao Xuanyi's behavior, Zhu Yuejun turned pale with fright. "Yi Lang, you...?" Zhu Yuejun stood up in a hurry, trying to hold Zhao Xuanyi!
But Zhao Xuanyi opened his sleeves and refused to let Zhu Yuejun pull him. "Eldest Princess, if there are no other things, I will resign at the end!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he walked directly out!
Zhu Yuejun wanted to call Zhao Xuanyi, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say a word!
Zhao Xuanyi walked out of Tayunxuan from the main entrance. Shen Wei and Jinglan were already driving outside waiting. Zhao Xuanyi got into the carriage with a livid face! Shen Wei and Jinglan didn't know what was going on, they just felt that Zhao Xuanyi seemed to be in a bad mood! Just drove away!
Nanzhu and others returned to the hall and saw that Zhu Yuejun's face was not very good. The four maids did not dare to speak and stood quietly aside!
Zhu Yuejun took a deep breath, "Nanzhu!"
"The slave is here!"
"Pull Xilan out, reward her with ten big boards, and teach her the rules of the new religion! I will not keep stupid people under my command!"
"yes!"
When Xilan heard this, she immediately panicked, "Eldest Princess, my maid has realized her mistake! Please spare my maid!"
"Twenty!" Zhu Yuejun gritted his teeth and said.
Nanzhu slapped Xilan on the face, "If you don't shut up, do you want to die?"
Xilan immediately closed her mouth and stopped talking! Let Nanzhu pull him out and be tortured!
Zhu Yuejun sat on the chair, feeling very confused. She knew clearly in her heart that what Zhao Xuanyi said was right, but she couldn't admit it. The reason was because of him, and again, the royal face must not be insulted! Zhu Yuejun covered her face with her hands in frustration!
When Zhao Xuanyi returned home, Tang Tianli hurriedly came over and helped Zhao Xuanyi out of the car. "Master Hou, 10 million taels of silver have been delivered to the military camp. What should we do?"
"Let Su Xiaoding lead five thousand people to send the silver to Henan and hand it over to Henan Magistrate Liu Ping'an. Also, take Xu Guannan back. All Qilin Guards are not allowed to leave Henan without orders. They will be temporarily stationed to guard the silver. , look how Liu Ping’an died! Let Xu Guannan be responsible for supervision!”
"It would be fine if he spent all his money to give to the people. If he embezzles even a tael, he will repay it directly. Qilinwei dares someone to take a copper plate and kill his whole family!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted coldly.
"Yes! I will pass on the order in a moment!" Tang Tianli nodded.
Zhao Xuanyi was in a very unhappy mood. He returned to the house and sat on a chair with a gloomy face. Du Xinyu heard that Zhao Xuanyi was back and hurriedly came to find Zhao Xuanyi. But the moment he saw Zhao Xuanyi, Du Xinyu felt that Zhao Xuanyi was in a very unhappy mood. good!
Du Xinyu came to Zhao Xuanyi and sat sideways on Zhao Xuanyi's lap. "What's wrong? You just came back with a straight face? Are you punishing yourself for other people's mistakes again?"
Du Xinyu's words made the anger in Zhao Xuanyi's heart disappear instantly, a smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to gently stroke Du Xinyu's hair, "Yes, I was stupid again!"
Du Xinyu leaned lightly on Zhao Xuanyi's shoulder, "Don't be angry. There are always more fools than smart people in this world. Why be angry because of them? Just look at their results!"
Zhao Xuanyi sighed, "No, I can't see his results. If I see it, something big will happen!"
"Big deal? What other big deal is there? Aoxue is going to have a baby next month, aren't you going to help?"
Zhao Xuanyi laughed again when he heard this, "Please forgive me, how can I know these things?"
"Neither can I, but I will accompany it! You have to come too, Aoxue will feel at ease after seeing you!"
"You'd better find a veterinarian. There are veterinarians in the military camp, so we don't have to worry about it. I...have other things to worry about!"
"What? Are you going to marry me?"
"Uh... let's talk about this later, I have other things to do!" Zhao Xuanyi's face was full of embarrassment.
Du Xinyu pouted, "Every time I talk to you about this matter, you avoid it. The old lady has said it many times. Let me see where else you can hide. Let your mother come and tell you in person in a few days!"
"Don't, don't, don't... don't, I'm already in a mess, why don't you make it more messy for me? How about you come to my room these nights and let's have a good exchange of feelings? "
"No! I'm having my period! Huh!" After Du Xinyu said that, he stood up from Zhao Xuanyi and walked out!
"Huh?" Zhao Xuanyi wanted to catch Du Xinyu, but he didn't know what else to say, so he could only lower his head helplessly. Just as Du Xinyu walked out, Shen Wei walked in, "Young Master, Gu Kaiyuan is looking for you!"
"Mr. Gu? Invite him in!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
Gu Kaiyuan walked into the room and saluted Zhao Xuanyi, "Master Hou!"
"Master Gu, don't be so polite, sit down!" Zhao Xuanyi said very easily.
After Gu Kaiyuan sat down, he smiled slightly, "Master Hou, I plan to leave for a while!"
"Are you planning to go to the Western Regions again?"
"Yes, now is the time when spring flowers are blooming, and it is also the best time to buy seeds. I plan to buy more and transport them back to the capital this time, and bring back all the food and novelty items from foreign countries!" Gu Kaiyuan said with a smile.
"Young Master Gu, you have worked hard. Do you need me to provide you with anything? Silver or manpower?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"No, this kind of journey is not something ordinary people can walk. It's not that I don't look down on the soldiers in your house, but these are two different things! I can do it myself. You gave me five hundred taels of silver last year, which is enough for me. I I’m here to say goodbye to you. I’ll pack up today and hit the road early tomorrow morning!”
"That's it, Brother Shen, prepare a good horse for Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu, now that I have returned to the capital, I will come directly to my Marquis Mansion when I come back. This will be our home from now on!" Zhao Xuanyi said sincerely.
Gu Kaiyuan smiled happily and clasped his fists, "Master Hou is indeed a true gentleman. Kaiyuan is really lucky to meet such an open-minded person as Master Hou. Don't worry, Master Hou, I have no other place to go. I will definitely come back when the time comes." !”
"Well, I'll be waiting for Mr. Gu to return in the mansion!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile, finally feeling a little happy!
After Gu Kaiyuan left, Zhao Xuanyi thought of something again. Spring was about to begin, and he was still thinking about distributing various vegetable seeds to the people, but how and to which province? This is a problem. After all, although I have a lot of seeds in my hand, do I want to give them to all farmers? This seems impossible!
He now has a fiefdom of 1,500 acres, while his father-in-law's fiefdom has reached tens of thousands of acres. To be honest, Zhao Xuanyi can farm it by himself, but if he does this, wouldn't he be complacent and violate the original intention he had set with Gu Kaiyuan?
In the evening, Zhao Xuanyi invited Gu Kaiyuan to a banquet. The two drank a few drinks. Gu Kaiyuan was exhausted. After a few drinks, Gu Kaiyuan blushed and went back to sleep. After all, he had to leave tomorrow!
Zhao Xuanyi was walking towards the backyard when Shen Wei suddenly came over and said, "Young Master, the carriage is waiting in the backyard!"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he had just quarreled with Zhu Yuejun in the morning, and now he came to pick him up. This obviously gave him a step up, otherwise he would quarrel with the eldest princess based on his own status? It’s enough to chop off the head! But Zhao Xuanyi is not ready to forgive Zhu Yuejun yet!
Seeing Zhao Xuanyi's expression, Shen Wei probably guessed something and couldn't help but shake his head, "You said that the eldest princess is also like this. After searching during the day, she searches at night. This doesn't give people any time to rest. It takes a lot of effort during the day and hurts the body at night. This is terrible. You really don’t give people a way to survive!”
"Get out!" Zhao Xuanyi kicked Shen Wei on the butt, turned around and looked in the direction of the back door, "Tell Zi Yuan that you won't be back tonight!"
"I understand, you're in trouble!" After Shen Wei said that, he opened the back door directly. Zhao Xuanyi took the black robe and put it on, and then boarded the carriage.
Once again, I saw a familiar person stepping into Yunxuan. Zhao Xuanyi had just gotten out of the car and looked around. Why was there only Yuan Mei and Bei Ju? One is missing? He didn't care and walked directly into the dormitory!
