The imperial concubine was spoiled by the prince again

Chapter 485
Xiao Yunzhi was unhappy, very unhappy, putting his name together with that Princess Hua, he felt disgusted, disgusted, disgusted.

Regardless of whether it was too late or not, he ordered to hurry up overnight, but it was a pity that he did not catch up with Xiao Yunchen as he expected.

When he heard the news of Xiao Yunchen's entry into Beijing, Xiao Yunzhi silently made a note to Na Tiantian in his heart: It's best not to cause anything to him before he goes back, otherwise, don't blame him for not giving anyone face in the future. .

As long as that flower appears in the Prince's Mansion, how he will die in the future depends on his mood at the time, Xiao Tiantian also has to be prepared to take over the fake Huo Jinxin and give him a luxurious meal for Xi Dangda!
He doesn't care what happened to the Great Xia or the barbarians!

In front of the gate of the capital, Xiao Yunchen, who was busy with travel and dust, suddenly shivered on his horseback. As expected, he was warmly welcomed by the people in the city, and the emperor even brought a few favored concubines and ministers together. The gate of the city welcomes the wind and washes away the dust for him.

Zheng Lian was on the list, and Xiao Yunchen's compliments to others were perfunctory, but when he passed by Zheng Lian, he took his hand and said seriously: "If Zheng Shangshu really feels grateful to the border guards, he will quickly clean up the household department tomorrow." Clean it up, allocate more money."

How did Zheng Lian accept this?
He has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has never seen such a blatant and upright person who asked for money!

He could only speak in an official tone as usual: "Your Highness doesn't know something. The court is constantly dealing with various matters, and the household department's money has already been beyond its means. Otherwise, if there is such a little money left, the minister will not be able to suffer for the border guards."

However, what he thinks in his heart is: the military power is in the hands of the Huo family, what is he doing to help his deadly enemy?Wouldn't it be possible to defeat the barbarians without money?It can be seen that those words of crying poor are all false.

In the past, Xiao Yunchen, who was ignorant of political affairs, must have been fooled, but today he asked: "In the past few months, apart from Lunan and the border, there shouldn't be any major events happening in the whole Great Xia, right?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness has brought the disaster situation under control in South Lunan, and that Lunan County is now in a state of disuse, so there is no pressure on the Ministry of Households for the time being, right?"

Without waiting for Zheng Lian to speak again, Xiao Yunchen said very straightforwardly: "In this case, can the tax revenue of these few months be collected in one episode and sent to the border first?"

"The military rations can keep up this time entirely because we negotiated with the soldiers: all supplies, food and grass are given priority."

"But the soldiers hung their heads on their necks and tried their best, but the military pay they exchanged for their lives was still in arrears, isn't it appropriate?"

Zheng Lian's smile remained unchanged, and his attitude was calm: "It's good to have such a heart, Your Highness, but you may not be so clear about taxes..."

Xiao Yunchen nodded and admitted: "That's true, but I roughly calculated that the commercial tax that all the shops of Zheng's family should pay in the past few months is at least 10 taels, right?"

"This year, the whole country will be simplified, and even the routine palace banquets will be waived in the palace. There must be no expenditures. Otherwise, you can sort out these taxes first, so that they can be sent to the border officers to make up for the belated rewards?"

Zheng Lian's usual indifferent expression froze, and he felt that the notoriously stupid Second Highness in front of him seemed so different from before.

In front of so many people, he could only smile and cup his hands: "Yes, the old minister should do his best."

It's not a big deal, just drag it along, and it's not the first time he has encountered this situation.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunchen followed closely and said very sincerely: "However, this king is not good, so I just talk about it, but in fact, it all makes Mr. Zheng busy."
