After shouting angrily, Emperor Xuan trembled suddenly and almost fell down.
Yu Changnian asked quickly, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Emperor Xuan supported the imperial court, lowered his head and took a deep breath before waving his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world, you must take care of your dragon body!"
What Yu Changnian said was sincere and sincere. Emperor Xuan was not moved and laughed at himself.
"For many years, I have been treated as an emperor so ridiculously that I was fooled by these people!"
Emperor Xuan threw the memorials to the ground with great force, gnashing his teeth in hatred.
"If you hadn't come to Beijing, I would have thought the world was peaceful, but I don't know that my empire will be defeated by these bullies who deceive me."
Yu Changnian said, "Your Majesty, the disaster cannot be delayed. It is still too late to make amends."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xuan's sharp eyes looked at him, "How much money will be needed for disaster relief and epidemic prevention over a long period of time?"
Yu Changnian said, "Although Weichen is proficient in the art of merchants, this disaster relief matter must be coordinated by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Weichen really doesn't know the ropes and can't estimate how much money is needed." "
Emperor Xuan glanced at him intently, and then let out a long sigh, "The disaster is so serious, I am really heartbroken. Alas... it's a pity that the treasury is empty, and the court is now so clever that it's hard for a woman to make a living without rice."
Emperor Xuan looked sad and sat down tremblingly, looking exhausted both mentally and physically.
Before Yu Changnian could finish his sigh, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I came to Beijing this time to apologize to you. I have been in bad luck and my property has been ruined. I really have to live up to my reputation as an imperial merchant." , Please also ask the emperor to take back the honorary name bestowed on the humble minister."
"Long years!"
Emperor Xuan called his name heavily, "You are a big taxpayer in the imperial court. Is it true that you can't do anything about last year's taxes?"
"emperor!"
Yu Changnian cried out with a sad look on his face, "Weichen is loyal to the emperor. If the court is in trouble, Weichen will never hide his family property secretly. But last year, the businesses under Weichen's name were damaged everywhere and most of them have been shut down. "
Emperor Xuan's eyes flashed with a stern look, not because he thought Yu Changnian was lying, but because he knew it was the truth.
Emperor Xuan would not allow the Yu family to become powerful, nor would he tolerate the imperial court's money bag being tied around the Yu family's waist.
He decided to make Gu Qiheng the son-in-law of the Yu family in an attempt to rob the Yu family's property, but he did not put all his hopes on Gu Qiheng. In private, he also sent people to act as the Yu family's enemies and purchase the Yu family's property.
However, the people he sent did severely damage the Yu family, but none of the acquired properties were built and they lost all their money.
But it was impossible for Emperor Xuan to admit these secret things. Although the Yu family suffered a lot, he believed from the bottom of his heart that the Yu family still had a backup plan. He never thought that the Yu family was at the end of its rope.
Now that the national treasury is empty, if the Yu family really has no money, how will they provide disaster relief?
By then, I'm afraid there will be frequent riots.
As a matter of fact, the Yu family cannot be without money. No matter what, the Yu family must use money to help the court tide over the difficulties.
Emperor Xuan stood up tremblingly and said sadly, "For many years, now people are dying of hunger all over the land, you can't just ignore it!"
Changchang Yu sighed, knelt in front of Emperor Xuan, and kowtowed heavily.
…
Yu Jinxi was worried all morning and kept sending people out to inquire about the news. At noon, Master Yan not only brought back the news, but also brought back Yu Changnian.
Moreover, coming with Yu Changnian were the palace edicts and guards.
Everyone in the Gu family was listening to the order in front of the hall. Gu Qiheng couldn't get up and was dragged directly to the front of the hall.
The emperor made the decision and granted peace and separation. He named Yu Jinxi the Lord of Roujia County and granted him a mansion.
At the same time, he declared all Gu Qiheng's crimes and asked the guards to drag him to prison.
Gu Qiheng was so frightened that he lost control and shouted that he was wronged. The old lady even dragged Gu Qiheng to prevent others from touching her, calling him an official of the imperial court.
The guard didn't even bother to say sarcastic words, he kicked the old lady away and dragged Gu Qiheng away like a dead dog.
Yu Jinxi welcomed Yu Changnian to his small courtyard without even looking at him.
"Yu Jinxi..."
The old lady was so panicked that she wanted to go to Yu Jinxi, but was kicked back by Zhang's mother.
"Here comes someone. He killed someone. His daughter-in-law abused the old woman..."
The old lady cried and cried, but Mother Zhang looked at her coldly, "This house belongs to the young lady. The young lady has now reconciled with Gu Qiheng. You are Gu Qiheng's wife. You shouldn't live here. Someone, drag me out!"
Hearing this, the old lady suddenly said, "This house was bought by my son with money. It belongs to my son, not that bitch Yu Jinxi..."
"I don't know how much money the Gu family owes our lady, and these ten houses won't be enough to pay it back."
After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she didn't bother to talk nonsense to her, so she just had her mouth covered and dragged out.
Although Yu Changnian walked quickly, he heard some of the old lady's words, and his heart became more and more painful.
Chang Yu never imagined that in the past few years, his daughter would live under the same roof with such a pious mother-in-law, and even serve as her mother-in-law... Let alone talk about life, just thinking about it makes her heartache, even more Feel angry.
Yu Jinxi saw his expression and knew what he was thinking, but she didn't want to mention it, so she changed the subject, "Dad, why are you here at this hour? Have you eaten?"
"The Emperor has left a meal."
Yu Changnian said, "Your Majesty knew that you and I have not seen each other for a long time, so he asked me to come and see you."
Hearing this, Yu Jinxi couldn't help but sneered, "Your Majesty is really compassionate."
The father and daughter had already entered the house, and there was no one around. After Yu Changnian heard what Yu Jinxi said, he said, "Now that the disaster is serious, the emperor feels sorry for the people and is heartbroken. You and I are the emperor's subjects, so he is naturally sympathetic. "
"The emperor is still using my affairs as a threat to ask for money from you, right?"
Although I had expected this to happen, I still couldn't help but feel angry.
Emperor Xuan is extremely shameless.
Yu Changnian sat down, took the tea handed to him by Yu Jinxi, and said in a calm tone, "He knew about the disaster a long time ago, and he also knew that the court's money was just a drop in the bucket, so he proposed reconciliation first, and then the disaster."
"It's different from what I thought."
Although he said this, Yu Jinxi still couldn't hide the hatred in his eyes.
"He's so cheap."
"You can escape the sea of suffering, which is better than anything else."
Yu Changnian said, "Besides, you also planned this in your previous letter to your father, and now you have succeeded. Furthermore, the Yu family's money is not given to him, but to the people. There is nothing cheap or cheap." of."
"The imperial court will not be able to taint the slightest bit of this money."
Yu Jinxi said in a deep voice, "The people who provide disaster relief are not upright and loyal people, so the Yu family will not give money. Moreover, the money cannot be given to the court at once. Every time the disaster relief officials go to a place, the Yu family will give money and food according to the budget." , Officials can’t even think of eating an extra penny.”
The Yu family's money and medicinal materials had already been prepared, and some places had even quietly provided disaster relief. This was to tell the court that the Yu family was declining and could no longer survive. Secondly, it was also to prevent Emperor Xuan from using the money for other purposes.
