On the dragon chair, Yang Mingkun's expression was a little worried. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He inherited the throne and vigorously restored the country's strength, and for now, everything is back to normal!
If the people of Lingzhou cannot be raised for the winter, causing a riot among the people of Lingzhou, ten years of hard work will be ruined.
However, when the court was noisy, the right servant Zhang Chenfeng stood up, and the ministers paid attention to it, and suddenly quieted down!
Zhang Chenfeng, the right servant, had already retreated into the background and easily did not go to the court, however, no one in the DPRK and China dared to ignore Zhang Chenfeng's existence.
Not to mention, Zhang Chenfeng's family is fully loyal to the emperor, Zhang Chenfeng alone retreated to the front of the background, and his protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the Sixteen Guards, and his influence in the army is far greater than that of Zhongshu Ling Yuwenshi!
Yang Mingkun saw Zhang Chenfeng come out, and said to the imperial eunuch Gao Heng: "Gao Heng, shoot the old servant and take a seat!" β
Gao Heng didn't dare to hesitate, hurriedly ordered the eunuchs around him, and hurriedly walked off the high platform, reaching out to support Zhang Chenfeng!
However, Zhang Chenfeng thanked Gao Heng for his kindness, and without waiting for the eunuch to bring the chair, the master said to Yang Mingkun: "Your Majesty, Lingzhou disaster relief is a major event in the court. However, in Weichen's opinion, there is no need to borrow money from Sihai Money Bank for the time being! β
I don't want to borrow money from the Four Seas Bank, is there any way to raise silver, Yang Mingkun was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask urgently: "Old servant, what's the best plan!" β
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness King Yan must have a good idea!" Zhang Chenfeng turned sideways, his vicissitudes of life were not wavering, and a pair of deep eyes looked at Yang Yue!
In the martial arts, Yang Yue secretly bet in Changle Fang, won a big victory, and obtained a lot of valuable wealth.
Changle Fang paid Yang Yue gold one million gold, which consumed Changle Fang's savings for several years, and still owes Yang Yue more than 4 million taels of gold!
Zhang Chenfeng does not leave the house, which does not mean that he does not understand the movements of Chang'an City.
At first, Yang Yue listened to Zhang Chenfeng's name and transfer the matter to himself, but he had not yet guessed what the other party meant.
However, when Zhang Chenfeng looked at him, there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and Yang Yue shuddered!
"King Yan, what do you have in mind?" Yang Mingkun sat on the dragon chair, noticing Zhang Chenfeng and Yang Yue's strange expressions, he couldn't help but be curious, and he wanted to know what Yang Yue had in mind!
"Erchen ......" Yang Yue's face was bitter, and he said helplessly: "Father, the national treasury is scarce in silver, and Erchen is willing to take the initiative to donate 50,000 taels of gold!" β
As soon as he said it, the officials of the court were surprised, and they all looked at Yang Yue, the treasury was empty, how could King Yan get 50,000 taels of gold, could it be that after three years of fighting in the Bohai Sea, King Yan not only gained military merits, but also accumulated huge wealth!
However, Zhang Chenfeng stood up, coughed lightly twice, and said with a serious expression: "His Royal Highness King Yan, the day before yesterday, His Royal Highness emptied Changle Fang and obtained a lot of wealth, and the court was in crisis, His Royal Highness donated 50,000 taels of gold, is it too small-bellied?" β
"Right servant shoot, you ......" At this moment, Yang Yue had a violent impulse and wanted to step forward and beat Zhang Chenfeng.
Fifty thousand taels of gold is a lot, at the beginning, he worked hard in Bohai for three years, and it was only fifty thousand taels of gold, but this old guy wanted the lion to open his mouth!
The ministers noticed that King Yan was wilted twice in front of the old servant, and they couldn't help but be curious, but more people liked King Yan to eat wilting.
If he doesn't go well, everyone is happy!
At this time, Yang Mingkun was first shocked by Yang Yue's huge donation, and then, perceiving that Yang Yue and Zhang Chenfeng were tired, he stared at Yang Yue with a cold expression, and asked, "King Yan, what's going on?" Why did you vacate Long Le Fang? β
"Father, son, minister, ......" Yang Yue noticed the sharp gaze in Yang Mingkun's eyes, and didn't dare to tell the truth.
If Yang Mingkun learns that he will take the Flying Cavalry Army as a bet and gather wealth in private, it is estimated that the position of Flying Cavalry General who has just arrived will be deprived by the other party.
It may also leave an impression of greed for money on Yang Mingkun, which is not conducive to gaining a foothold in the court.
"Your Majesty, King Yan is embarrassed to say, the old minister always said, a few days ago, during the martial arts, Princess Yan disguised herself as a man, and decided privately to take the savings of King Yan's Mansion for several years, go to Changle Fang to bet, and obtain a hundred times the wealth, and now, King Yan is in Chang'an City, known as the God of Wealth by the people." Zhang Chenfeng's words were concise and to the point, telling what had happened, but all the things he bet on were withdrawn from Yuwen Linxuan.
100 times the income, emptying Changle Fang, the God of Wealth, all simple words, but the court officials were completely shocked.
Changle Fang is the first gambling house in the Tang Dynasty, the scale is huge, it lasts for hundreds of years, and now the Yan King has moved Changle Fang, how much gold has been obtained, and the officials are curious!
50,000 taels of gold, compared with the centennial continuation of Changle Fang, it does seem to be a penny.
On the dragon chair, Yang Mingkun looked at Yang Yue's expression and became strange, the Chaotang Kingdom only had 50,000 pieces of silver left, and Changle Fang was emptied by the Yan Wangfu, and he still owed the Yan Wangfu a huge amount of gold, and the Yan Wangfu was not richer than the Tang Empire.
couldn't help but ask in a cold voice, "King Yan, is there such a thing?" β
Zhang Chenfeng explained the matter, Yang Yue couldn't shirk it at all, hurriedly walked out of the queue, looked at Yang Mingkun with a serious expression, and said: "Father Qi, there is indeed such a thing!" β
After that, Yang Yue couldn't help but curse Zhang Chenfeng, this old guy stabbed the emperor for the huge amount of money he obtained, and it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of taels of gold in the mansion will be lost.
If the emperor is greedy, even the 50,000 gold he has accumulated over the years may be filled into the treasury!
"Nima, old turtle!" Yang Yue scolded Zhang Chenfeng in his heart.
Hearing this, Yang Mingkun picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he watched Yang Yue's attitude become gentle, and said: "King Yan, at the beginning of August, it is the day of my birthday, which coincides with the flood in Lingzhou, and the treasury of the court is insufficient, what are you going to do?" β
Alas!
Yang Yue sighed secretly, the husband is not guilty, what a big birthday, it is not to extort the silver in his hands.
However, if the emperor doesn't behave well in front of him, not to mention that he can't keep the gold, even his own life may be in danger.
Hurriedly said: "Father, the son is willing to donate 500,000 taels of gold as a birthday gift for his father." β
After Yang Yue finished speaking, there was an urge to vomit blood in his heart, 500,000 taels of gold, accounting for six out of ten of his total wealth, this is his bottom line, no more, otherwise, even the flying cavalry army will not be able to train!
Hearing this, Yang Mingkun stared at Yang Yue, looked surprised, and asked, "500,000 gold?" β
"What my father said is right, 500,000 taels of gold, and the rest of the gold will be used as the cost of training the flying cavalry!" Yang Yue's face was calm, but his heart was up and down, for fear of being blackmailed again!
At this time, Yang Mingkun stared at Yang Yue with a strange expression, and couldn't help but secretly think, King Yan emptied Changle Fang and donated 500,000 at once, how much gold did King Yan's Mansion have!
Sensing that there was greed in the emperor's expression, Zhang Chenfeng stepped forward, and Yang Yue's heart tightened, for fear that this old guy would be dissatisfied and continue to rob himself.
However, Zhang Chenfeng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are always ambitious, and now King Yan has a lot of wealth. However, training troops requires expenses, and Weichen thinks that King Yan will recruit 400,000 new troops and form a flying cavalry army, so it is better to take the opportunity to form another 100,000 troops, King Yan will train, and the emperor will lead it? β
