On the way from Suizhou to the capital, they were caught in a heavy snowfall, and Xu Qing's once handsome face was now covered in cracks.
"Your Majesty, the Yang residence has been completely confiscated. There are 65,000 taels of gold, 3.2 million taels of silver, and countless other treasures. Here are the detailed accounts for Your Majesty's review."
Beep beep—
Everyone in the imperial court was stunned.
How many?
How much did you say?
Gold worth 65,000? Silver worth 3.2 million?
You should know that it was only when the Yue envoy came to ask for money that they dared to ask for 300,000 taels. How could Yang Yong, a mere prefect, have embezzled so much money?
This is all hard-earned money from the people!
Even if all else fails, this money should belong to the national treasury!
Yesterday, His Majesty went back on his word for 300,000 taels of silver. Now that we know how corrupt Yang Yong is, his death is a foregone conclusion.
Now it remains to be seen how his family will handle the situation.
This number was so large that even Li Xuanji was slightly moved.
Unfortunately, Murong Yue had no concept of numbers beyond ten; she couldn't count them all.
However, upon hearing Ah Hao and Li Xuanji gasp in unison, she guessed that "tens of thousands" must be a very, very large number.
what to do?
My curiosity was piqued.
She wanted to see how much this cost.
Murong Yue tilted her head and asked Xu Qing, "Let me see."
Xu Qing waved his hand, and several squads of imperial guards filed in, two men carrying a large box together, which they placed neatly in rows inside the hall.
It took a full 15 minutes to move everything.
Xu Qing gave the order, "Open them all."
Clang, clang.
The moment the boxes were opened, the courtiers felt as if their eyes were about to go blind, and the hall suddenly became several degrees brighter.
Besides gold and silver, there were many other treasures, including a large pearl that was even bigger than the one that Xiao Yuanshuang of Yue Kingdom had given to His Majesty yesterday.
Murong Yue simply couldn't understand it. In this world, all people care about is money, money, money! Ignorant humans only know how to make money!
Is there any food?
She was asking whether Yang Yong had embezzled grain.
Xu Qing immediately replied, "Yang Yong emptied the granaries in Suizhou and sold the grain to the Liao Kingdom at a low price."
"This is outrageous! Yang Yong is practically a traitor!"
Li Daoyun immediately rebuked him.
Murong Yue became even angrier upon hearing the words "the grain was sold."
Gold and silver are nothing; selling grain is outrageous!
Needless to say, now that this Yang Yong has fallen into my hands, I must rid humanity of this scourge and consider it a contribution to this base.
"Kill them all!"
Thus, the third major event at the morning court session was the confiscation of the former prefect of Suizhou's property and his arrest for corruption and treason. His entire family, including men, women, and children, was executed.
For a time, the entire imperial court was filled with trepidation.
Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there has not been a case of executing nine generations of a family.
I never expected that something like this would happen so close to the Chinese New Year.
With Zhang Yuqing arrested, officials became even more nervous.
They all began to conduct self-examinations.
At the same time, he sent private messages to his former colleagues in the capital, telling them to keep a low profile and make up for any embezzlement.
After the court assembly, Murong Yue watched as the gold and silver treasures were carried away, thinking to herself, "If more humans came to give me money like this, I could exchange it for food..."
This base is practically a place where I can retire comfortably now.
Awesome!
After the court assembly, Murong Yue went to Baoguang Hall.
This time, I could hear the sound of students reading aloud from afar.
Just by listening to the sounds, you could tell there were many more children than before.
Murong Yue didn't go in either, but just stood outside the window and glanced inside a few times.
Not bad, not bad, there are significantly more girls now.
These are the flowers of the base, growing strong and healthy... delicious ingredients...
Ah Hao looked at her usually dignified and upright emperor, now acting suspiciously, and was speechless.
Everyone inside the room knew that His Majesty had arrived.
The Master spoke with even greater enthusiasm.
"Two children were arguing about the sun, saying..."
The older children stood up straighter, while the younger ones always remembered their family's instructions and tried their best to read aloud, swaying their heads and repeating after the teacher.
Murong Yue liked it more and more the more she looked at it.
He was mentally calculating when he would finally be able to eat these fresh ingredients.
The more I think about it, the more my mouth waters.
Therefore, the esteemed Empress of Qing Kingdom made a crucial decision: "Tomorrow, I will study."
Huh?
? ? ?
Not only were the people outside the window stunned, but the reading inside the room also stopped, and there was complete silence.
Your Majesty...wants to study?
Want to read together with everyone?
What is this for?
In fact, Murong Yue felt that the humans in this base respected her and submitted to her powerful military strength.
All I did every day was eat and listen to their various plans for getting beaten up.
The rest of the time was really boring.
She hasn't made any plans to leave this base yet, so she might as well stay here and keep an eye on her ingredients.
When you get tired of seeing the same thing, just pick a dark and windy night and have some fun!
Hehehe!
Slurp—
Of course, there are other reasons as well.
Murong Yue secretly swallowed, raised her chin, and led her people away.
After noon, it started snowing again. The closer it got to the end of the year, the colder the weather became.
Murong Yue played in the snow for a while, then played with the little hedgehog for a while, before returning to the Taihe Hall and sitting cross-legged on the couch.
He began to examine the large pearl.
The moment I touched this bead, that warm feeling returned.
