Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 389 pouring oil into her heart

Are you blaming it on yourself again?

Song Chun was very angry. Emperor Hong Ming's behavior was really inappropriate. He was squandering money and money. He was also very dissatisfied with Situ's actions.

As a Situ, why should I hide such a large amount of expenses and not report it? I have to tell myself when I have no money. How can I be consistent with myself?

His eyes turned cold when he looked at Situ, but he understood that now was not the time to speak too bluntly. These old ministers left behind by the late emperor were not convinced by their father and son. Naturally, they could not treat them with the same heart and soul as they did with the late emperor. They are all full of evil thoughts, just do their duty, and don't want to worry about the extra thoughts.

This is not what the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers should be like. Song Chun intended to replace them, but he couldn't find anyone who could replace them. Each of these people became human beings. They stood in the middle, letting himself and the officials below him There is no opportunity to have too deep a relationship, so that I don’t know much about those people.

This is not a good thing, but because of the busy state affairs, Song Chun has never been able to spare his hands to rectify it, so he can only put it on hold.

"The national treasury is tight. If the palace treasury comes to borrow money again, it will not be approved. In addition, all the expenses for giving officials and rewards will be cancelled. My imperial concubine must give birth to an heir to be considered worthy of merit. What credit can I get for the rest? I am worthy of it. Gifting officials as rewards? Such excessive favors are blasphemous to other relatives of the emperor.

Also, the Imperial Preceptor has his own salary, so what should be purchased by the Imperial Preceptor’s Office should be the responsibility of the Imperial Preceptor himself. No matter what, the emperor’s private treasury should pay for it. Who should turn to the national treasury for the money?I won’t talk about the previous ones, but I will carefully sort out the expenses for the past two months and let the national teacher write off the accounts. "

His arrangement was a slap in Emperor Hong Ming's face. Situ didn't say a word and agreed after thinking for a while.

The Situ Mansion acted very quickly. After Emperor Hongming found out that it was Song Chun who had arranged it, he got very angry in the palace. When Empress Shen heard about it, she naturally blamed it on the instigation of the concubine who was serving her. She scolded her severely when she paid her respects in the morning. A few little beauties who indulged themselves in spoiling made people in the harem panic.

In the East Palace, Mammy entered the palace and saw Mrs. Lin sitting alone in front of the bed, casting fortunes. She hurriedly stepped forward and lowered her voice: "Mother, Your Highness hates witchcraft. If he is seen, he will be furious. I will put it away for you." .”

"How could he see it? He hasn't even come to my house for more than ten years, and he doesn't even know which direction my door opens. What is he afraid of?" Mrs. Lin didn't care, holding the handbag clearly in her hand. The divination book someone bought at the market: "I heard that Mu Liangdi secretly sent someone out of the palace? What to do?"

Mammy took a cautious look outside before she dared to say: "The people who followed reported back that Mu Liangdi was looking for a divination expert to calculate a good day for conception."

"Conceive?" Mrs. Lin laughed directly: "His Highness has not been with women for more than ten years, and he doesn't even look at so many beautiful women in the East Palace. Is it possible that she still has a way to make His Highness make an exception?"

Mammy advised: "Although Your Highness is not a womanizer, Mu Liangdi's mother's family is Mu Guogong's mansion. Now Mu Guogong is still in the court and he has many disciples. There is no guarantee that Your Highness will not take advantage of Mu Guogong's sake." As luck would have it, your Majesty, you’d better make a plan.”

Lin's face turned cold. Her mother's family had lost its former glory. After Emperor Hongming came to the throne, he gave his old relatives dignity again. However, the Lin family couldn't afford this dignity. In terms of family background, she really couldn't compare. Mu Liangdi.

Mu Liangdi was younger than her, and although Song Chun was not a womanizer, if Mu Liangdi really had a child, there was no guarantee that Song Chun would not treat her differently.

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Lin felt unhappy all over. She put the divination book in her hand under her hand and looked at her sternly: "Earlier, I asked you to ask the national master to predict the heir of His Highness, What did the Imperial Master say?"

This has been a long time ago. When she asked now, the grandma quickly recalled it in detail: "The Imperial Master said that His Highness was destined to have two sons." Mrs. Lin's heart skipped a beat. She could not accept the status of her son. being threatened.

"Two sons, so your Highness has another child." Lin subconsciously targeted Mu Liangdi: "If she gets pregnant and gives birth to a child, wouldn't she be a threat to my Viagra?"

Mammy advised: "That's why your Majesty should make plans early. Your Highness is in the prime of life and his body has always been strong. It will not be difficult for him to have children."

These words poured fuel into Mrs. Lin's heart. She held her forehead and thought for a moment, and made up her mind.

"Your Majesty." The maid came in with the account book: "This month's accounts have been calculated."

Grandma hurriedly put away the things on the table, then took the account book and asked: "Why is it so late to get the account book today?"

"When the slave passed by, the people next to His Highness were paying money. For this reason, the master asked the slave to wait for a while."

After listening to the maid's explanation, Mammy opened the account book and saw the fresh ink on it. She immediately placed it in front of Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin glanced at it and frowned slightly: "2000 taels? Like this before? Isn’t the anonymous cost only 1000 taels? Why is it twice as much this time?”

"While the servant was waiting nearby, I heard that the gentleman also asked this question. The person who paid the money said that because His Highness Ninth Prince did not send a letter to His Highness this month, His Highness thought that he must be too busy with official duties and was worried that His Highness Ninth Prince would be tired, so I paid twice as much money, and asked the person who paid the money to buy more things for health and the food that His Highness Ninth Prince likes to eat."

These words made Mrs. Lin laugh angrily: "Now His Highness the Ninth Prince is also an official with a salary from the imperial court. There is also the favored Concubine Shen who takes care of food and clothing. What good things have you never worn or eaten? Your Highness has nothing to do with his son. I have never worried so much. You are so generous to a younger brother. You can give me 2000 taels of silver as soon as you ask for it. Do you have money to spend in a poor country like the northwest?"

Both the mammy and the maid dared not say a word. It was well known to everyone that Song Chun favored Song Yuan. Even Emperor Hong Ming could not compare with her, so this was not surprising.

"Isn't there a lot of good things in the warehouse piled up by the ministers? Collect a few items and send them over. Tell your highness that you don't have to spend money to buy them outside." Mrs. Lin felt very unhappy.

Mammy quickly reminded her: "Mother, those things in the warehouse have been stored for a long time, and I'm afraid they have lost their effectiveness."

"Can a young person really afford such good food? It's just a matter of prestige, how can there be so much care? Listen to me, just send what's in the warehouse. Let's see what His Highness says." She Today I deliberately want to confront Song Chun.

Grandma couldn't persuade her, so she had no choice but to follow her arrangements. Sure enough, when she saw the pile of rotten junk rummaged out from the warehouse and listened to what Grandma said, Song Chun's face immediately turned ugly.

"It's not just that the Crown Princess is in charge of the East Palace's treasury, but she also wants to take charge of Gu's private treasury?"
