Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 91 "Great Achievement Overwhelms the Lord"

Thinking that Xue Lan was in a hurry to go to the doctor, Song Hengye thought for a moment and said, "Hengye has also heard a little about the debts owed by the Duke. Although the amount is astonishing, it is not completely helpless."

Before he finished speaking, Song Chengye hurriedly said: "I was just about to ask you, the money was paid for the emperor, can you go to the palace to ask the emperor for a favor, and ask him to help us pay back some money? "

Unexpectedly, he still brought it up cheekily, and Gu Qingyou couldn't help feeling ashamed for him.

She pulled Song Chengye aside and said to Song Hengye: "Second Young Master, don't listen to his nonsense. Anyway, these debts have to be paid, it's just a matter of time. Mother did this because she was worried that the creditors would come to the door together, and we would go out." Because of being passive, I decided to transfer the property to my name first... Oh, don't worry, I won't be greedy for any money, and I will return it all when the rumors pass."

Xue Lan rolled her eyes from the side: "What do you pay back, what's mine is yours!"

"Mom! Are you really old and confused?"

Song Chengye jumped out again and pointed at Gu Qingyou and scolded: "You don't go here to deceive people with evil words, you must be worried that if the emperor really comes forward to settle the account, you will have nothing to gain, such a vicious mind!"

He thought about it and couldn't figure it out, what kind of ecstasy soup did this bitch give his mother to make her believe her like that?

Standing at a different angle, the idea is naturally different.

But it can't be said that Xue Lan is a mother and daughter. No matter how Gu Qingyou reassures him, Song Chengye still refuses to agree.

"Then Hengye, tell me, what else can I do besides entering the palace?!"

Song Chengye was so angry that he drank three cups of cold tea before letting go.

Heng Ye said: "Aside from other things, I have also saved some property over the years. Although it is not much, it can handle it for a while."

After saying hello to Bu Duan habitually, but found that there was nothing behind him, he remembered that Bu Duan was still recovering from his injuries.

He was alone, living and eating in the military barracks, and the salary and money issued by the court were useless at all, and the rewards given by the emperor every time he suppressed bandits and rebellions were also saved.

I also mentioned before that I would help pay off the debt with Song Lian, but Song Lian firmly refused to accept it. He only said that he has not yet married, and that he will spend money on building his own mansion or getting married in the future, or he will be transferred back to Beijing to work one day. Favor money should not be underestimated.

This is also the place where he has always been grateful for Song Lian. Song Lian has always ignored these mundane affairs by himself, but he is thoughtful of him everywhere.

In the past, his silver was habitually exchanged into bank notes for easy storage, but Song Lian personally asked someone to teach Bu Tian how to manage money, and asked him to exchange the silver for money-making tools such as shops and villages. After more than ten years, he has a thousand dollars Ten thousand net worth.

Gu Qingyou thought that he had some good solution, but it turned out that it was just a few more poor people, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Forget it, right now we can keep one and earn one, and we can keep two and earn one. It may not be that bad, maybe there are still a few conscientious people who know that the Duke's Mansion is in distress, and can give us a grace period?"

However, Song Chengye was still thinking about getting the emperor to pay back the money, Gu Qingyou said: "Even if you can enter the palace, without account books, how can you prove to the emperor that the money was used in the army?"

"We don't. There are always records in the barracks, right?"

Song Chengye pointed to Song Hengye and said, "Why don't we just get the account book?"

Xue Lan couldn't listen anymore, knocked on the table and said, "You treat the barracks as your home? Is it possible to get something so important as the ledger?"

"What about Hengye? He's the general of the Northwest. It's not just a matter of taking a ledger?"

After all, I still only count on Song Hengye, but this time Song Hengye shook his head lightly: "I'm afraid Hengye will be powerless in this matter."

Song Chengye was already like a headless chicken at the moment. Seeing that the last hope was also interrupted, he almost lost his mind and began to lose his temper: "I think you don't want to control us at all! The left and right are not from the Song family, and we only see each other when something happens. Zhenzhang, just as heartless as this Gu!"

Gu Qingyou's complexion changed, what he said was ugly, Song Hengye didn't know how he would feel.

But Song Hengye was not angry. After all, Song Chengye had misunderstood him for many years, so it's not surprising that he would think so.

He squeezed his brows helplessly and said: "You have heard the imperial decree this morning. Ding You's resignation means that I am only a white coat now and have no right to interfere with the military camp."

Song Chengye said, "It's only been more than two years since Ding You left and right. We can delay this debt for a while, and we can always delay it until Hengye returns to camp. Are you afraid that we won't be able to get back the account book?"

The more I thought about it, the more feasible it became. "No matter how tyrannical those people are, they can't rob them openly. For my father's sake, it shouldn't be difficult to allow a little more time, right?"

Gu Qingyou poured cold water on him: "If you can settle the interest on a deferred basis, they will probably be willing."

"Fucking interest! Usury is not as bad as them!"

There are more bold words that he didn't dare to say, but his father's solid eyes, in exchange for himself, if the court doesn't pay the military salary, just let the soldiers go home to farm, and sell their lives!

It is estimated that if Song Lian knew that his son thought so, he would crawl out of the grave angrily.

Song Hengye looked preoccupied after hearing his words, and did not answer for a long time.

Song Chengye repeated the words again, and said anxiously: "Hengye, did you hear that, is it going to work?"

However, Song Hengye sighed imperceptibly, got up and walked to the window, and turned around again, his voice was more depressed: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I'll never go back to the barracks again."

I just got the news that the emperor in the northwest has arranged for a young prince from the clan to take over in the name of experience. Although I had expected it, I still feel uncomfortable when I heard it.

What he didn't say was that over the years, the emperor seemed to trust Song Lian, but he was always afraid of the million-dollar military power in his hands.

Song Lian fought for many years, and almost all of them were brought out by him. They were born and died together, and their friendship was very good. This is also the reason why the emperor always wanted to decentralize power but failed.

As for the lack of military pay and food... I dare not speculate whether it is really a deficit in the national treasury or the emperor's excuse.

It can be said that Song Lian's large-scale borrowing was mostly helpless. He couldn't let millions of soldiers accompany him to the battlefield hungry, right?

Although Song Lian didn't tell him these things in person, on countless sleepless nights, he saw Song Lian standing alone outside the camp, sighing against the moonlight.

As he got older and more sensible, he also gradually understood that the words "great merit and master" have always been a taboo in the emperor's family.

And these years, the reason why he has worked so hard to become Song Lian's right-hand man is precisely because he has long seen through that the imperial power is like a knife hanging over his head. The new pillar of the government allowed Song Lian to maintain his life's hard work.
