In the hall, even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Millions of silver taels are equivalent to several years of tax revenue from the four neighboring countries.
If these silver and money flow to neighboring countries, it may at best breed trouble, and at worst trigger war.
Millions of silver taels are not just pure silver, but also soldiers, food, armor and weapons.
With this money in hand, it can supply military supplies for three to five years, and there is no guarantee that other countries will not dare to take risks.
After a long time, the ministers gradually turned their eyes to the top of the hall.
Waiting for the little princess to reveal more information.
Unfortunately, the information that the system can capture is limited, and it is currently impossible to speculate where the money went.
[It is precisely because they are so cautious and careful that we should be more cautious and track down the whereabouts of this money. ]
[If Wan Zhong indulges in pleasure and spends money lavishly, the amount can be roughly matched, and it will not be so dangerous. ]
[Although there are so many wives and concubines in the family, there are people who pay for their expenses. Compared with a million taels of silver, it is just a drop in the bucket...]
Following Jun Baozhu's voice, the ministers fell into deep thought.
At this moment, the little princess' voice suddenly became louder.
[What? Wan Chong died in the Imperial Censorate? ]
[There are heavy guards around, no one is approaching? ]
[The imperial physician is checking. There is no trace of drugs in the body, but...]
Jun Baozhu's voice seemed to tremble, and the emperor hugged her tightly.
[Died from bleeding from all seven orifices? 】
Almost immediately, Jun Baozhu thought of the palace maid who had been silenced before and who had died in the same way.
So, ask the system:
[Bleeding from all seven orifices again? 】
[Similarly, they are all related to the Queen Mother? ]
Just a few words can cause a huge uproar.
I heard that Wan Zhong, who usually showed off his might, was standing in the hall just now, looking so ugly...
But after all, they had worked together for more than ten years, and the man who had just stood in front of Fu Hai alive, suddenly died in such a tragic way in the Censorate...
As they sighed, the ministers couldn't help but tremble.
And the little princess seemed to accidentally point out the connection between the queen mother and it...
This caused doubts to gradually arise in the hearts of the ministers.
Due to the Queen Mother's strong attitude in recent years, some loyal ministers dared not speak out.
Almost everyone has forgotten that before the emperor ascended the throne, the empress dowager was known for her gentleness and virtue...
During these ten years or so, what the Empress Dowager said and did, how could she be described as gentle, kind and virtuous?
But everyone's shock was not as great as the shock the emperor felt in his heart.
After ten years of hard work, it turned out to be a joke in the end?
He picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. If it weren't for Baozhu, he wouldn't even know that he had so many tigers around him, eyeing the court covetously.
Until the court was dismissed, no ministers made any more requests, and the little princess's full moon banquet was to be held lavishly...
As for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, everyone agreed that it would be held at a lower level than in previous years.
Although the officials of the Ministry of Rites got the desired result, no one was happy.
While discussing other matters, the prince was worried that Jun Baozhu was hungry, so he took her out.
While Concubine Li was feeding Jun Baozhu, the Queen sat beside her, wondering if the little one had revealed something about the morning court session.
As expected, when he learned that the Queen Mother's nephew Wanzhong was exposed for accepting bribes of more than one million taels and the stolen money was missing, Wanzhong bled from all seven orifices and died in the Censorate...
The Queen and Concubine Li looked at each other and thought of the same person at the same time.
Before, without any evidence, the Queen and Concubine Li could not directly link the South Red Kingdom, the poisonous insects, and the Queen Mother...
But if you say that the Queen Mother knew nothing about Wanzhong's actions, no one in the world would believe it.
The amount was so huge that all officials had to send it to Wanzhong...
The roles of the Queen Mother and Wan Zhong are more like one in front of the stage and one behind the scenes.
The Queen Mother put pressure on the officials, making them afraid and they could only seek help from Wan Zhong and others...
But when his deeds were exposed, Wanchong was silenced like a discarded rag.
As for the cause of death, there was no doubt about it. The Queen and Concubine Li thought of it without waiting for the autopsy to confirm it.
Gu worm.
But she is my nephew after all. If you say that the life of a palace maid is worthless...
But the Queen Mother even used her own nephew in this way. Did they underestimate the Queen Mother's cruelty?
Being controlled to death by Zi Gu meant that the Queen Mother had ordered someone to plant Zi Gu in Wai Chong's body from the very beginning.
If this is the case, what about the other ministers?
