"Then how much silver was left in the treasury during your coma?"
Di Zisheng didn't want to mention that he was once a dog, so he said that he was in a coma for a while, and Xu Jinyi didn't expose him.
Speaking of this, Emperor Zisheng felt proud. He had been on the throne for ten years!
Under his management, the national treasury increased dramatically every year, so the amount of the national treasury also reached a thousand-year high, reaching as high as six million taels of gold!
Six million taels of gold, even Xu Jinyi was shocked by the amount.
"Six million taels of gold, and the Prince of Yan took it all? How is that possible? The national treasury is empty, so how has he paid salaries these past few months?"
"You have given my father so many good things and me so much betrothal gifts. How much do you have left now?"
Di Zisheng made a gesture, which surprised Xu Jinyi even more.
Then he burst out laughing: "Hahaha..."
"So, Di Zisheng, you're a pauper now? Everyone thinks I married the emperor, but they don't know I married a pauper?"
"Hahaha……"
Xu Jinyi laughed so hard that tears came out.
Eunuch Deng knocked on the door and walked in. When he heard what Xu Jinyi said, he almost tripped and fell to the ground.
The Queen is so awesome that she even dares to call the Emperor a pauper.
When he raised his eyes, he was frightened again. He actually saw the Queen holding a cinnabar pen.
It’s incredible, it’s incredible.
This master in the harem will probably be very powerful in the future.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, dinner is ready."
Di Zisheng took Xu Jinyi's hand, washed their hands together, and took a seat.
There was no need for anyone to serve the food, so Eunuch Deng, Liuli Liuyun and the other two could stand further away.
Xu Jinyi still smiled: "You really don't have any money?"
Di Zisheng nodded: "So from now on, I will rely on you, Madam, for support."
The three of them were shocked beyond words. The emperor actually said that he wanted to be a gigolo. He was the emperor, the highest official in the country.
Xu Jinyi patted his face and said, "Don't worry, as long as you serve me well, any amount of money is not a problem."
After saying that, Xu Jinyi took out two copper coins and stuffed them into his arms. He also deliberately touched his strong chest with a teasing look.
"Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely satisfy you."
Eunuch Deng and the other two almost buried their heads in their chests. They didn't expect that a tough guy like the emperor could be so good at flirting.
But when I think of the queen's beauty, I also know that even heroes cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women.
After the joke, Xu Jinyi got down to business, asked Eunuch Deng and the others to leave, and closed the door.
"There are six million taels of gold in the national treasury. What can the King of Yan spend it on? Didn't they search his house when they convicted him?"
Di Zisheng shook his head and gave her a piece of meat. "There's no trace of it, but the money definitely wasn't spent. The King of Yan has always been stingy. He definitely wouldn't be willing to spend such a large sum of money."
"We searched Prince Yan's mansion, his staff, and his accomplices, but nothing was found."
Xu Jinyi: "The flood in the south can't wait. Take 200,000 taels of silver from me tomorrow."
Emperor Zisheng disagreed: "How can I use your money for the affairs of the court? I will find a way to deal with this matter. You can keep the money for yourself."
"You and I are husband and wife, and my silver is yours. When the treasury is full, you can return it to me."
"That money is just sitting there anyway. If I could use it to save millions of people in the south, I'd be happy to do it."
"If you feel it's inappropriate, how about considering it as my donation?"
Di Zisheng's chest was heaving. He hugged Xu Jinyi and kissed her hair again and again: "Thank you, Yi'er."
Lu Xinran was still immersed in the sweetness of her new marriage. Although something happened in her parents' home, it had no impact on her as a daughter-in-law who married out.
Thinking that her husband was the only son of the Minister of Revenue, and that the power of housekeeping would fall into the hands of her as the legal wife in the future, Lu Xinran was very proud.
Compared with the sisters who grew up with her, she was the one who married the best, which made Lu Xinran a little confused.
However, the happiness lasted only half a month before the Dali Temple sent people to search the house.
Faced with irrefutable evidence, the Minister of Revenue accepted his fate and was handcuffed.
The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was corrupt and committed abuse of power. He embezzled a total of three million taels of silver during his thirty years in office. His property was confiscated and he was sentenced to be beheaded. His family was banned from holding official positions for generations and the execution was immediate.
All the slaves were sold, and the remaining family members were to leave the capital immediately and were not allowed to set foot in the capital.
Lu Xinran was stunned. She never expected that her husband's family would fall apart overnight.
Seeing the official smashing open the door of the warehouse and carrying away her dowry, she rushed forward frantically to stop him.
"You can't take it away. This is my dowry, my dowry..."
The officer showed no mercy and pushed Lu Xinran to the ground. "Don't you understand what it means to confiscate property? All property will be confiscated, including the dowries of all the ladies."
"The Minister of Revenue has embezzled a huge amount of money. Even if all this is confiscated, it wouldn't be enough to compensate for it."
"I advise you to leave the capital as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a capital crime of disobeying the imperial order."
Lu Xinran was going crazy. She had finally arrived at the emperor's feet, how could she leave?
She wanted to go back to her parents' home regardless of anything, but Pingyang Hou had the door closed and even announced that he had severed ties with Lu Xinran.
How could they possibly let Lu Xinran go? They forced Lu Xinran to leave the capital with them.
Inside the Pingyang Marquis's residence, Lu's mother burst into tears: "My Lord, what do you say we should do? Haoran has become a disabled person out of nowhere, and now my daughter is in trouble too, wuu ...
The Marquis was also deeply shocked by the series of events: "We were wrong. We were wrong from the very beginning when we plotted against their family."
"Retribution, it's all retribution!"
The Marquis was filled with regret. Now that his only son was disabled, he would not have any other legitimate grandson except Lu Junsheng.
Lu Haoran's position as the crown prince was rejected, and Lu Junsheng was a concubine's son and was not worthy of being the crown prince.
That means there is no one to inherit the position of their marquis, and Lu Junsheng becomes the only heir of his generation.
Thinking of this, the Marquis' eyes flashed.
In the afternoon, a roar of collapse suddenly erupted from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.
"Bitch! You bitch!"
Lu Haoran's eyes were bloodshot and he couldn't believe what he heard.
Lu Junsheng is not his son, not his son!
Liao Keren didn't expect that the truth would be revealed. She covered her naked body and thought of Liusu's fate at the first moment, with a look of panic on her face.
Lu Haoran rushed forward and grabbed Liao Keren's hair, roaring ferociously, "Tell me, who is the adulterer? Who is it?!"
Just now at the door, he only heard this bitch talking about Jun Sheng's adulterer's son, and the adulterer smiled and whispered in agreement, and the voice sounded a little familiar.
But when he kicked the door open, the adulterer escaped through the window and he only saw half of his back.
Lu Haoran grabbed her hair and shook it wildly, his eyes sinister and bloodshot, looking insane and particularly terrifying.
