Chapter 75 Funding Events
The third prince said that Miss Nangong was the real beauty in the capital, and said that the eldest prince did not look to his own people. The eldest prince was annoyed at the moment and said something ugly. The three of them had a disagreement with each other."
"Bastard!" Nangong suddenly smashed the teacup, and the gorgeous Fengguan also made a soft sound because of her anger.
Xier's head drooped even lower.
After venting, Nangong realized that it was inappropriate, so he immediately took a deep breath and said slowly: "As the eldest prince, as the eldest son of the emperor, is so ignorant, so he should be punished! Ignore it."
"Yes!" Xier retreated respectfully.
Nangong's wet nurse, Mama He Kuan, explained: "Empress, Mu Shaoai is also a common person. Whether it is Miss Nangong or the lady of the Taifu family, they must have their own unique features. No matter how the eldest prince thinks, he can't twist your mother, why bother to be angry with the eldest prince for such a trivial matter?"
Nangong sighed and said worriedly: "The nanny doesn't understand. The emperor has ascended the throne but refuses to become the prince. I am not at ease!"
The son she gave birth to was both the legitimate son and the eldest son, and should be crowned the crown prince in terms of emotion and reason, but the emperor did not mean that she was uneasy, but even the Nangong family was the same. However, the power of the Nangong family was not as powerful as that of Concubine Zhang's mother's family. Concubine Zhang also gave birth to a third prince, which made her feel at ease.
In addition to the eldest prince, the third prince, and the second prince who came from Concubine De from a scholarly family, the fourth prince whose mother is the imperial merchant, and the fifth prince and the sixth prince with a low mother status. We have to be careful!
Madam He did not dare to express her opinions on such issues, but said obscurely: "Empress, you are the mother of a country. As long as you don't make mistakes, you can sit firmly in this position. Don't annoy the emperor in a moment of confusion."
Nangong naturally understood this truth, but the parents' home...
Tang Ning, who had returned to Dingbei Hou Mansion, had no idea how many people he had disturbed, so he hurriedly ran to ask Qiu Jingming for credit, "How is it! I just said that I have a way to let the emperor release people, believe it now!"
Qiu Jingming laughed in silence and said in cooperation with Tang Ning: "My wife is really omnipotent. Did the emperor say when will we leave?"
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "He also promised me to allocate some money to Jiangnan. You also know that I am so poor that I am about to lose the blame. I have to get this matter done first and arrange it before I can return to Chaozhou with confidence. By the way, when I entered the palace today, I saw the emperor scolding several princes. I didn't expect that the emperor was so young, the children were so old, and there were so many!"
"How many princes have you seen today?" Qiu Jingming asked in surprise, wondering why the emperor scolded his son during the New Year.
Tang Ning said honestly: "Three, they look fourteen or fifteen years old, and I don't know how old the emperor is!"
She was a little confused as she said that.
Qiu Jingming pondered: "The emperor is exactly 31 years old this year, and he is a marriage to the Empress. The Empress's father and brother are both military generals. They only came back once a few years because of guarding the border. The Emperor considered that the Empress's father and brother were not there when he got married, so the two families discussed getting married in advance.
The Empress was only fourteen years old when she married the Emperor, and the eldest prince was born for her. The third prince's biological mother was Concubine Zhang. Concubine Zhang was the emperor's cousin and the daughter-in-law whom the emperor's biological mother wanted. But she could not twist the Emperor, so she took Concubine Zhang into the mansion the second year after the Empress passed the family.
The second prince's biological mother, Concubine De, came from a scholarly family. At that time, her father was a prefect and the emperor went to Jiangnan. When he fell in love with him, he had already married his wife and could not give his lover a title, so he married him as a concubine.
The birth mother of the fourth prince, Concubine Shu, was the daughter of the imperial and Shang dynasties. She entered the mansion by chance. The birth mother of the fifth prince, Concubine Bai, served the emperor since childhood, and the birth mother of the sixth prince, Concubine Qin, was an ordinary civilian daughter. The emperor accepted it to repay the grace of saving his life.
These six princes are about the same age. The emperor has been slow to establish a prince, and there are still some people behind him who are making trouble!"
Tang Ning listened with relish, but at the end, he said with unsatisfactory words: "But today I only saw the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the other princes did not see him."
Qiu Jingming explained with a funny look: "Birds of a feather flock together, and ordinary officials' inner courtyards are also divided into factions, not to mention the royal family. The biological mothers of these three princes have come forward and have the help of their mothers, so they naturally look down on the other princes.
I heard that the fourth prince followed his grandfather's family and only liked merchants. He had no interest in the other party. Every time the emperor took the school exam, his homework was indiscriminate. The emperor did not force himself to follow him. The fifth prince was weak since childhood, taciturn and careless, and the sixth prince was a bit naughty. He was proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun. Don't mention civil and military affairs."
Tang Ning heard that there was nothing else that he didn't understand. It was all about private secrets in the inner house. If these princes were either Mingzhe protected themselves or had been stolen.
She couldn't help but sigh: "It's better for us to do this!"
Qiu Jingming nodded seriously.
Tang Ning thought it would take a long time to wait for the treasury to release the money, but he didn't know that the people from the Ministry of Revenue were so powerful that they prepared the money she wanted in two days.
Zeng Pan knew about this and came to remind her to check the money.
"I was cheated by this disaster relief money back then, otherwise I wouldn't have caused so many things. You have to be careful!" Zeng Pan said earnestly.
Tang Ning was speechless and said dryly: "It shouldn't be so!"
The new emperor had just ascended the throne, who would have been so blindly rushing into the gun? But just in case she still followed Zeng Pan's advice.
When a group of people from the Ministry of Revenue delivered the disaster relief money, Tang Ning directly asked someone to unbox the box for inspection.
The people from the Ministry of Revenue changed their expressions and advised nervously: "We have counted these silvers several times, and there is definitely no problem, so there is no need to worry about it!"
Tang Ning glanced at the other party deeply, his expression gradually became serious, and he shouted: "Unbox!"
Immediately, a group of soldiers stepped forward to stop the people from the Ministry of Revenue. A group of people quickly poured out all the silver in the boxes. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem, but as long as you check the boxes, you will find that the inside of the box was raised. A box of 10,000 taels of silver may actually be only about 9,000 taels of silver.
In order to verify her guess, Tang Ning personally went forward to count the points. He spent half a day and repeatedly counted three times. He confirmed that something was wrong. She immediately asked someone to control the people from the Ministry of Revenue and ordered someone to go to the palace to report.
I thought Ning Chengyun would send his personal guards to get people, but who knew that he would bring people in person.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of Dingbei Hou Mansion, he saw piles of silver in the yard. He shook his eyes and asked the people around him to count again.
The people from the Ministry of Revenue were already scared and trembling as if they were sifted.
