After the six auxiliary ministers withdrew, the emperor called Ding Xuan, and the emperor paced back and forth in the study, and finally stopped in front of Ding Xuan. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Now that they are all out, you tell me the truth, how much silver does Shaofu still have?"

Ding Xuan bowed down and replied: "Back to the emperor, there are 220,000 taels of silver in Shaofu, and 12 million taels of silver are stored in Huitong Bank, which can receive 120,000 taels of interest every year. ”

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in wonder, "Is it appropriate to deposit the silver in the Huitong Bank?"

"Your Majesty, the silver is placed in Huitong Bank, and there is an interest rate of one cent per year, and if it is placed in the treasury, the silver can only be silver. Ding Xuan explained.

"120,000 a year, that's a lot. The emperor muttered to himself, when he was still the crown prince, he knew that it was beneficial to save money in Huitong Bank, but he never knew how much money was in Huitong Bank, and today he knew that there was actually a point of profit.

"The emperor doesn't know, we have saved a lot, only one cent, less than 10 million taels, more than 5 million taels are 7 cents, 1 million to 5 million is 5 cents, the following is decreasing step by step, less than 100,000 taels, there is no profit. Ding Xuan explained.

"Then what about the silver from this Huitong Bank?" The emperor was very curious, Ding Xuan smiled and said: "The emperor doesn't know, the Huitong Money Village is not taking silver for nothing, they also lend the silver to others, mainly those businessmen, those businessmen borrow money to make money, it seems that no matter how much, it is three points." ”

"Three points !!," the emperor couldn't help but exclaim.

Ding Xuan nodded: "These three points are more than saving money with them, but compared to those loan sharks in the city, it is much cheaper." ”

"Why don't you do it yourself?" The emperor was very curious: "Let's just talk about you, when I was still the crown prince, I knew that you were the richest person in the imperial capital, how much did you save in Huitong Bank?"

"The minister is the richest person, and the richest person in the imperial capital is the emperor. Ding Xuan replied respectfully, not daring to go beyond the slightest, the emperor stood in front of Ding Xuan, still looking at him, Ding Xuan smiled and said: "The minister only saved 300,000 taels of silver in Huitong Bank. ”

"Well, it's a lot, 300,000 yuan, have you borrowed money from Duzhicao?" The emperor asked again, Ding Xuan nodded: "The minister was short of money a few years ago, so he borrowed some silver from Duzhicao, and the minister went to pay it back." ”

"Well, it's good to pay it back, it's light without debt. The emperor nodded and said, and Ding Xuan also nodded again and again: "Yes, what the emperor said is that the minister will go and return it." ”

The emperor didn't say anything more, Ding Xuan looked at the emperor carefully, and slowly withdrew from the study.

Waiting for Ding Xuan to go out, the emperor sighed, the treasury is so empty, the Shaofu has money, but this money can't be easily moved, this is the royal private money, it was accumulated by the first emperor for more than ten years, and it can only be moved when the country reaches a critical juncture.

Looking out of the room, the emperor suddenly felt tired, the courtiers below had their own hearts, Chen Guo's affairs gradually calmed down, but the impeachment of Pengzhu was not so violent, but it still did not stop, and now there are more impeachment sentences and Gu Wei's recitals, saying that the two of them were neglecting political affairs in Yangzhou, lingering in Qinglou all day long, and regarded the major events of the imperial court's salt policy reform as nothing, and asked the emperor to cure the sins of the two people, and appoint a virtuous person to preside over the salt reform.

The emperor was so angry when he saw this that he almost scolded, he was very suspicious of the minds of these people, and said that every step of Gu Wei in Yangzhou was implemented in accordance with the strategy drawn up by the imperial court, and the two of them were too soft, which led to the poor implementation of the salt policy reform.

Father-in-law Mu came in quietly, he didn't disturb the emperor, and stood quietly on the side, Gonggong Huang signaled with his eyes, did he want to remind the emperor, Gonggong Mu shook his head slightly, and Gonggong Huang was silent.

Sighing softly, the emperor smiled self-deprecatingly: "Father said that being an emperor is a lonely person, and I only now understand what this means." ”

"Your Majesty don't worry," Mu Gonggong said softly, the emperor seemed to have known that he had come in, did not turn around, Mu Gonggong said carefully: "The emperor said the Zhang Meng last time, the minister has already found out, he was sent to Liangzhou, after three years of hard labor, according to the law, he was not allowed to return to the Central Plains, he stayed in Guzang, the emperor ascended the throne, amnesty to the world, he did not leave, still in Guzang." ”

"It seems that he refuses to forgive me!" The emperor sighed, and Gonggong Mu shook his head and said, "The emperor must not blame himself, the emperor is no wonder about what happened back then." ”

The emperor sighed deeply, and Gonggong Mu suggested: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, there will always be talents." ”

"It was I who failed him back then," the emperor sighed deeply in a deep voice, "Send someone to say that I invite him back to the imperial capital, and tell him that I need him to come back." ”

Zhang Meng was the prince's attendant that year, nominally as a companion, but actually controlled the main power of the prince's mansion, when the prince was in charge of the country, he was the main official of policy planning and promotion, so after the prince was snubbed, Zhang Meng was impeached by the ministers of the court, and Emperor Taiding sent him to Liangzhou to serve three years of hard labor.

When Zhang Meng was in charge of the prince's mansion, not long after Peng Zhu entered the prince's mansion, when he was convicted, the prince did not dare to protect him, resulting in him being finally assigned, for which the emperor has always been angry.

"The old slave obeyed. Father-in-law Mu replied.

The emperor hummed softly, still did not look back, quietly looked out of the window, today's weather is not good, the sky outside is a little cloudy, it looks like spring rain is coming.

After being silent for a while, the emperor turned around and sat down on the side of the desk, on which there were tall notes, the emperor took a copy of the books and opened it, and suddenly looked up and asked:

"How's that going?"

Father-in-law Mu didn't ask anything, and immediately replied: "It's already started, yesterday, Liu Han has called a meeting with everyone, and today Zhen Niang set off for Yangzhou." ”

"It will take about ten days to get to Yangzhou. The emperor said calmly, and a smile appeared on Gonggong Mu's thin face: "The emperor is too anxious, why will it take fifteen days to go to Yangzhou, and when Zhen Niang arrives in Yangzhou, things will have a result." ”

"Fifteen days. The emperor sighed softly, and Gonggong Mu explained: "Fifteen days is already very fast, the Yellow River has just thawed, and the Yellow River is not the ancient precept of crossing at night, if you don't take a boat at night, you always have to walk for a while." ”

"Fifteen days, plus the return trip with silver, this is a month has passed," the emperor shook his head slightly: "I am worried that it will be too late." ”

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, let the Hu people outside the plug fight if they want to fight, anyway, it's not my Jin people who die, and when they are almost killed, it will be the end of summer, and we will be almost ready at that time, and the army will be dispatched and wiped out in one fell swoop." ”

Mu Gonggong's comfort played a role, the emperor nodded slightly, and was about to look down at Song Shu, when he suddenly remembered again: "Last time you said that Liu Han, this person seems to be a talent, and he is also the one who shook the emperor's capital." ”

"The emperor is right, it's him," Mu Gonggong said: "This person is a talent, but the smell of the rivers and lakes is too strong, the merchant atmosphere is heavy, he made friends with Qiu Ge in Liangzhou, and after arriving in the imperial capital, he made friends with the king of Yanping County and the prince of Xiao Zhao, with long sleeves and good dancing, the old slave felt that this person was not suitable to stay in the court, on the contrary, it was good to stay in the inner guard, so the old slave absorbed him into the inner guard. ”

"Internal Guard?" The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "That's fine, don't let the wild have a virtuous man, on the contrary, it will be the king's mistake, let's do this first." ”

Father-in-law Mu didn't speak, standing silently on the side, the emperor began to review the music, Father-in-law Mu retreated full, went to Father-in-law Huang's side, reached out and hugged a bunch of good songs, Father-in-law Huang hurriedly came over, Father-in-law Mu shook his head at him, Father-in-law Huang didn't move again, watching Father-in-law Mu go out with Songshu in his arms.

After the emperor approved a few books, he put down the pen and turned his head to see Huang Gonggong, Huang Gonggong was wiping the vase, he was wiping very attentively, and did not notice the emperor's movements.

"I heard that the Queen Mother has been a little unhappy lately?"

Hearing this, Gonggong Huang turned around and looked at the emperor's expression before replying: "Recently, Taishi Pan often goes to the Queen Mother, and the Taishi seems to have complained a lot, and the Empress Dowager is a little unhappy after listening to the words of the Taishi. ”

After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but hey softly, the Great Jin Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and the queen mother can interfere in politics, but there is an unspoken rule here, if the emperor is young, the queen mother can listen to the government, but if the emperor is an adult, the queen mother can only retreat to the harem, and the new monarch governs the government with the assistance of the auxiliary minister, unless the emperor has a major mistake, the queen mother must not interfere.

But the definition of this major mistake is inexplicable, so there have been many times in the history of the Great Jin Dynasty that the Queen Mother interfered in politics, and the Queen Mother was an important political force in the imperial court.

"The Taishi is the uncle of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother takes care of her, which is also a proper move. Huang Gonggong considered the wording: "The queen mother is also at ease with the emperor, didn't the queen mother also support the emperor in the matter of Chen Guo last time." ”

The emperor still didn't speak, Huang Gonggong didn't dare to say more, turned around and continued to **** cleaning, to be honest, he was quite unimpressed with Pan Lian's move, and actually wanted to find the queen to suppress the emperor, this is a big taboo in the palace, is this Pan Chain confused!

Wipe the vase clean, Huang Gonggong took the cloud bamboo on the side, the emperor does not like flowers, but likes this thin cloud bamboo, this study raised a few pots of cloud bamboo and fine bamboo.

Father-in-law Mu came to the side room with Song Shu, Xue Mi and Shu Cheng were there, the two of them were burying their heads in writing comments, when they heard the door, they both raised their heads and saw Father-in-law Mu, Xue Mi got up first to meet him.

"Why are these guys so lazy, you're old, it's time to clean up. Xue Yu said and stretched out his hand to take the song from Gonggong Mu's hand, and the little eunuch behind Gonggong Mu argued aggrievedly: "Lord Xue has wronged the small one, it's not that the small one doesn't move, it's the ancestor who won't let it." ”

"Father-in-law, why are you doing this? Xue Mi put the song in front of him, and divided it into two halves, Shu Cheng came over to take half of it, Gonggong Mu sat down on the chair, and the little eunuch was busy making him tea.

"Just a few steps, alas, old, old. Father-in-law Mu's breath was slightly panting, and the little eunuch was busy beating him on the back, but he didn't dare to speak.

Xue Mi finished the matter, and then sat opposite Grandpa Mu, he knew in his heart that Grandpa Mu would never come here for no reason.
