This emperor's thoughts are just too hard to fathom!
They didn't wait for the death penalty before pleading for leniency.
The guards came up and pulled them away.
Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the little princess reminded me in time.
Otherwise, that one second of his softening heart would be like letting a tiger escape for the Great Yuan Kingdom!
It's better to nip it in the bud now.
Let's see how you try to collude with the enemy country to get me!
Thinking about this...
Ye Ling doted on the little princess even more.
[Woof! Father! I've done such a great service! Shouldn't I be given a reward?]
[Father, the Shen family is about to be raided! Shouldn't I get a share of the five hundred million taels of silver that's confiscated?]
I don't ask for much, a small goal of 100 million is enough!
Ye Ling mentally complained.
One hundred million? And you call that a small goal?
My little princess!
How greedy must you be to consider 100 million taels of silver as a small goal?
According to your previous reasoning, this would be enough to feed our Great Yuan Kingdom for two years!
However, to be fair...
If it weren't for the little princess's timely reminder...
Ye Ling probably won't find out the amount of money embezzled by Shen Xing's family so easily. If Shen Xing secretly transferred away the 500 million taels of silver...
It will be very difficult for him to get it back then!
Before the Shen family could fully unite with the Great Xiongnu to rebel, the money was promptly seized and confiscated from the national treasury!
It can be said that it directly filled the national treasury, which was already in deficit!
Such a great achievement definitely deserves a small goal for her!
Ye Ling immediately replied.
"Jin'er, after the Shen family's assets are inventoried, I'm thinking of giving Qianqian one hundred million taels of silver as a birthday gift."
"Your Majesty, that's one hundred million taels of silver! Absolutely not! One hundred million taels of silver could be used to do so much for the people!"
Ye Qianqian couldn't help but complain.
"Mother, I'm doing this to secure a good future for you. In the palace, you'll have money in your hands, which will make things much easier for you. Those servants are all greedy! Very few are truly loyal; they're not after money!"
[You'll only get those servants to work for you if you throw money around! If you bribe servants in other palaces, you can get wind of any plots against you from other concubines and take countermeasures!]
【Oh, Mother, being so clueless is truly a killer! Your daughter has planned and arranged everything for you, how can you not understand your good intentions? It really breaks my heart!】
Thinking about it carefully, my grandmother was truly amazing. As the previous champion of palace intrigue, she had a complete grasp on the psychology of everyone in the harem, regardless of their social status! You really should learn from your mother-in-law!
Of course, being shrewd isn't about encouraging you to harm others, but about using your shrewdness to protect yourself before someone tries to harm you!
Consort Jin was blushing with embarrassment after being scolded by her own little princess!
Hmm, now that I hear that...
My little princess has a pretty good point!
