Chapter 76
"Yuntang, why do you have to ask the queen to rinse her mouth carefully after eating?"

The little emperor, who was not deeply involved in the world, couldn't help the curiosity in his heart after all. He tilted his head slightly while raising his head, and asked aloud.

Seeing the desire for knowledge that was about to overflow in the pure eyes of the young emperor, Li Yuntang suddenly didn't know what to say.

Of course, first rule out the option of telling the truth.

Because after telling the truth, whether the little emperor will be angry will not be mentioned for the time being; seeing the emperor's ignorant appearance, even if he wants to tell her to understand, it will probably take a lot of trouble.

For the time being, things like bringing down a pure girl should be put aside for now; follow-up related physical hygiene courses will also be taught in another day!
After secretly making up his mind, Li Yuntang thought for a while, and resorted to a move to retreat:

"The emperor treats me well, even though Yuntang can't repay me after death, as for the extra reward, I feel deeply ashamed; but the king's kindness is above me, and I can't refuse it outright.

So I had no choice but to put forward a condition; if the emperor probes into the reason, I... can't tell. "

When the little emperor heard this explanation, she felt a little guilty. She leaned forward, took Li Yuntang's hand with both hands, put them behind her palms, and carefully replied:
"Yuntang just pretend I didn't ask that question just now, okay?
Now my answer is: everything depends on you. "

Then she saw that Li Yuntang was not unhappy, so she hurriedly changed the subject:
"The situation Yuntang set up is indeed subtle, but in my opinion, there is still a loophole. If it cannot be resolved, the gang of dignitaries may see some loopholes."

After these words fell into Li Yuntang's ears, his spirit instantly tensed up. This sale of precious banknotes is currently the top priority of our side, and it is closely related to whether the emperor can raise military expenses, so we can't help being sloppy!
Therefore, he didn't even care about etiquette, instead he grabbed the little emperor Bai Nen's little hand tightly and asked:
"What kind of flaw is it, please let the emperor express it clearly. Maybe I can come up with a remedy and solution here."

The little emperor was caught in such a way, even if he wanted to withdraw his hand, he tried twice but failed; she stared at her almond-shaped eyes, puffed her cheeks, and hummed softly, which made the over-respected guy react. Hastily let go.

After the young emperor withdrew his hand, he first raised his small fist threateningly, signaling Li Yuntang not to do anything wrong, and then expressed his doubts:
"According to the plan you told me earlier, Yuntang's next step is to transport the treasure out of the palace, and then turn it into the people;

But the problem is that the folks don't have a lot of precious banknotes. After a few days of buying the precious banknotes, the gang of dignitaries will find a contradictory fact. .

This phenomenon will definitely make them suspicious; thus, they will become cautious when buying precious banknotes. "

"The emperor is relieved," Li Yuntang put his heart back in his stomach when he heard this kind of thing, and he replied confidently, "Just spread rumors that it is the nobles of the Great Western Army. What comes out can be easily solved;

Because in the eyes of outsiders, if the emperor has valuable banknotes, he can sell them directly without beating around the bush;

Only the nobles of the Daxi family may hold a large amount of precious banknotes, and they cannot sell them to the Brettians in a grand manner. They can only quietly sell them when the courtiers and dignitaries buy them, in order to get a share of the pie. "

Hearing the words "big western nobles", the little emperor was a little confused at first, not knowing why those nobles were so special, after a little thought, she suddenly became enlightened:
"What Yuntang means is that after the case of 'the Dian government expelled the nobility', the nobles of the western clan who had kept a large amount of precious banknotes were unable to sell the precious banknotes publicly?"

Li Yuntang nodded one after another, the little emperor's mind was quick and he could see through everything.

This Duke of Dian was one of the six hereditary Dukes who were granted the title at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty. His first owner was a powerful general under the command of Emperor Taizu. Feng Shuangli.

The reason why this line was expelled from the nobility can be traced back to Emperor Qiansheng's issuance of treasure notes.

In the old days, the old emperor saw that the war was anxious and the progress on the southwest front was slow, so he dispatched a part of the imperial army, led by the Duke of Dian, accompanied by a group of Hou Boxungui from the Western Army, to the southwest to strengthen the Han army.

And the treasure banknotes that had just been printed were distributed by the emperor as money for purchasing military supplies and soldiers' salaries.

After receiving some of the treasure notes issued, those soldiers of the Imperial Army immediately felt dissatisfied, but even if they were dissatisfied, their morale was low and they did not dare to make trouble in the slightest.

The soldiers of the Han army on the southwestern front also created chaos because the imperial court paid them with precious banknotes.

Just when this news was sent back to the capital, Emperor Qiansheng gave up the plan to increase troops after much deliberation. At the same time, he secretly allocated silver, ordered the Dian Kingdom to use the silver as a payment, and destroyed the banknotes himself after recovering them.

Things go wrong with this destruction.

The son of the Duke of Dian heard from somewhere that the imperial court was going to suspend the use of precious banknotes. Under the advice of others, he secretly embezzled some of the precious banknotes, went to Zhending Mansion thousands of miles away to purchase rice grains, and then exchanged them. Into silver, made a fortune.

As a result, not long after, the imperial court discarded the treasure banknotes that had not been in circulation for a long time, and some of the banknotes that remained in the folk were also exchanged for silver. If you dare not hide it, report it immediately.

It didn't take much effort, and the truth of the matter came to light...

How can the emperor's wool be so easy to squeeze?
In a fit of rage, Emperor Qiansheng directly confiscated the family of the Duke of Dian; the noble family that had been inherited from the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty was destroyed by a dude.

However, these records are all from the palace's secret tome, from which Li Yuntang smelled something unusual——

How did a dandy know about such a confidential political matter as temporarily suspending the use of treasure notes?
Who came up with the idea, the culprit, why hasn't he been punished?

With a gloomy mind, he secretly speculated:
Is it possible that the black-bellied late emperor, after failing to send troops, directed and acted on his own, and carried out a fishing law enforcement, just to eradicate this lineage of the Duke of Dian!
The more Li Yuntang thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility. Just as he was about to lament that the old emperor was ruthless, the voice of the little emperor suddenly sounded in his ears:
"But Yuntang, after the Duke of Dian was expelled from the duke, although the remaining treasures fell into the hands of more than a dozen Hou Boxun of the Western Army, they were all destroyed by the emperor..."

Halfway through the talk, the little emperor suddenly realized that although the banknotes were destroyed, the old emperor thought about his face and tried his best to calm the incident, so he sent someone to do it in secret. There are very few people alive today who know about it.

In other words, in the eyes of civil servants, those nobles of the Western Army may hold a large amount of treasures in their hands, and they dare not sell them openly; therefore, if there is a large amount of treasures from unknown sources flowing out of the capital, they should be suspected first Yes, it should be these nobles of the Western Army who want to make a profit secretly.

In this way, as Li Yuntang said, it only needs to spread some rumors, and the disaster can be diverted to the east!

The little emperor secretly thought that it was wonderful, and he looked at Li Yuntang with a lot of love.
