Chapter 119: This second prince actually has such a great achievement?
The older courtiers followed suit, pretending to be calm.
As they walked, they were stopped one by one by the women who were preparing to leave.
The wife of the Minister of War was outspoken and said, "Why are you joining in the fun? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing the younger generation and making a fool of yourself by your colleagues?"
The Minister of War had never expected that his own wife would be holding him back. He was confused and could not think of a reason, so he looked at the Minister of Rites for help.
The Minister of Rites glanced at him with disdain, then bowed to his wife who was walking slowly towards him and said, "Your Majesty thinks highly of Mr. Cheng. Since Your Majesty has come in person, it is natural for me, as a minister, to go and give him some more money before leaving."
The wife of the Minister of Rites suddenly understood and nodded: "It's not wrong to follow His Majesty, it should be so."
After hearing his colleague's conversation, the Minister of War suddenly had an idea and said to his wife, "That's right, I'm also going to give some wedding money and will be back soon."
The wife of the Minister of War looked at him hesitantly and nodded, "Okay, but don't stay too long, and don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, the young people will feel uncomfortable and turn a good thing into a bad thing."
The Minister of War nodded.
At this time, the wife of the Minister of Revenue walked towards him with a suspicious look on her face and said, "Why are you joining in the fun? Don't tell me you want to give me money. I don't believe it."
The Minister of Revenue was in a dilemma. Indeed, if he said he was going to give out money, his image would be ruined.
The Minister of Revenue said with a stiff upper lip: "I, well, I'm going there to make money."
After he finished speaking, not only did the other ministers turn their heads in shock, but the Minister of Revenue himself also wanted to slap himself in the face. Money was all on his mind, and he didn't think twice before saying this.
The wife of the Minister of Finance also looked puzzled: "Making money? At this wedding banquet? How to make money?"
The Minister of Revenue took a deep breath, and the strong desire to eat melons broke through the threshold of his brain.
He looked at the Minister of War and the Minister of Personnel walking away, and suddenly an idea came to him.
The Minister of Finance said seriously, "Really, Madam, I didn't lie to you. They said they were going to give red envelopes to the Second Princess and her husband, but they just came up with the idea on the spur of the moment and didn't have much money in their pockets. I'm different. I always carry a wallet with me. I thought, if I go with them, they can ask me to borrow money when they need to give the wedding money. Well, I'll give them another 5%... No, 3% interest, for example, if they lend me 100 silver coins, they'll pay me back 130. Madam, do you think I'm going to make money?"
The wife of the Minister of Revenue did not expect to hear such an answer. She froze in place for a while, nodding her head continuously.
The ministers walking in front of him stumbled and looked at him with admiration: "Nimma, you can even come up with such a reason. Not only can you come up with it, but you also remember to lend money at high interest while thinking about it."
You are worthy of it!
Remember the mission of making money, the money bag of Daxia, the Minister of Revenue.
At this time, the wife of the Minister of Works also came over with a stern face.
She said coldly, "You want to go too?"
If the Minister of Works had not heard the explanation about "facial paralysis" and knew that this was a normal expression, he would have almost fallen to his knees again.
The Minister of Industry summoned up his courage and said, "This is also the reason why I want to follow Your Majesty..."
"Okay, go ahead." The wife of the Minister of Works nodded solemnly, and took out a money bag from her pocket and gave it to the Minister of Works, "Don't ask the Minister of Revenue for money, it's too bad."
The Minister of Works sighed: The lady with a stern face was not angry at all, but rather generous. I was moved.
…
Several ministers tactfully caught up with the emperor.
The emperor and the prince slowed down their pace a little.
They wanted to have some fun, but they also didn't want to ruin their daughter's/sister's wedding ceremony.
So after Cheng Weining happily picked up the red silk ribbon, the second princess ate raw peanuts and said "raw", and the young people finished the wedding banquet, the emperor and his entourage came closer.
Gradually, people noticed the figures of the emperor and others, and the young officials who had been noisy, drinking and swearing just now became much quieter.
Only the drunken Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, with his head down, was still shouting: "Why don't you say anything? I'm scared. I'm the first to say it. Damn it, who decided to hold court at the hour of Mao? Change it for me, change it to the sun, at... three, three poles..."
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked by the Minister of Revenue.
The Minister of War raised his head in dissatisfaction and happened to see the emperor and a group of people looking at him with kind eyes.
His mouth trembled for a moment, and he stuttered, "It's definitely not possible to come to court at noon. You must come to court at dawn, or even earlier."
After saying this, the Minister of War lowered his head like an eggplant hit by frost.
If this had happened in the past, the emperor would have either punished the person for disrespect or at least suspended him from his position for a period of time.
But in order to maintain his image in front of Yuan Ruan, the emperor's brutal methods were inexplicably softened many times.
The emperor looked at the other person coldly, said nothing, and moved closer to the chamber.
At this time, the system's voice sounded:
[The blessing is over! They are about to have their wedding night, so you can enjoy the feast in peace. 】
Yuan Ruan: [Eat, eat, eat. I was just wondering how this spy got involved with the Second Prince.]
System: [Hahaha, let me tell you, originally this woman who sold herself to bury her father had no intention of getting close to her relatives. She was going to use her identity as a woman who sold herself to bury her father to seduce the Minister of Revenue. However, the Minister of Revenue thought that this woman was not worth the price at all and was only willing to pay ten copper coins at most. The woman was so angry that she turned around and cried bitterly with the contact person.]
Yuan Ruan: [Hahahaha, is the Minister of Revenue trying to make me laugh to death?! Break into the door and save him!]
Daxia melon eaters: ...I am convinced by this operation.
The Minister of Revenue was not embarrassed at all, he held his head high and said: I am proud of my career, I make money for the country!
System: [The people of Chen decided to change their target. At this time, they thought of the spiritual mentor - the second prince of our Great Xia. ]
Yuan Ruan: [Wait? How come the second prince is a spiritual mentor? Tell me more.]
The emperor narrowed his eyes: ...
If the Second Prince really causes trouble, arrange for someone to kill him immediately.
The prince noticed the emperor's murderous aura and sighed in his heart, but he still didn't want his father to kill his own relatives, as this would always be a scar that he could not get over.
The other courtiers also pricked up their ears.
System: [It is like this, you still remember the Second Prince arranging swindlers to cheat people of their money. These swindlers were all high-ranking officials of Daxia, so they not only attracted merchants from other places in Daxia, but also attracted some spies from Chen, Chu, and Shu.]
Yuanruan: [Frog fun, extreme pulling! ]
System: [Then you underestimate the Second Prince. I'm not saying this to the extreme. In the field of deceiving people, the Second Prince is an invincible existence, you know? ! Every one of the spies of the Three Kingdoms was taken down by the scammers trained by the Second Prince. In the past few years, these scammers directly cheated away the start-up funds that the Three Kingdoms used to bribe the officials of the Great Xia Dynasty. ]
The crowd eating melons:!!!
The court officials were like seaweed struck by a tornado, twisting and turning all over.
It was as if ten thousand war horses with the word "absurd" embroidered on them were galloping back and forth in the emperor and the crown prince's minds.
No wonder the Ministry of Revenue found that the amount of silver hidden in the bank did not match the amount of silver lost in the national treasury when it counted the silver.
There are even foreign words from the other three countries in here.
Yuan Ruan: [I really, I really... Second Prince, you have accomplished something invisibly?! ]
System: [Isn't it true... The Second Prince's achievements are far more than these.]
Yuan Ruan was so shocked that he couldn't even catch a huge jade bead: [Are there other merits?! Is the second prince some kind of treasure boy? The more you dig, the more you get. ]
At this moment, all the spectators were in sync with Yuanruan's brain waves.
——Let me see what else can be mined from him.
