Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 155

After all, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom knew that if the second prince didn't die this time, he would be the one who died after returning.

General Hu is also a black-bellied person. When he was at the border, he solemnly handed over the second prince to the envoy of the Liao Kingdom.

He also exhorted the envoys of the Liao Kingdom to ensure the safety of the second prince.

Then General Hu led the people and left openly.

The envoys of the Liao Kingdom waited until they wanted to kill the second prince, only to find out that it was the second prince of the Liao country in their hands, and it was the second prince's entourage, and the second prince had already left.

This made the envoys of the Liao Kingdom very angry and frightened enough.

The second prince of the Liao Kingdom should have returned secretly, and the envoys of the Liao Kingdom did not know how to explain to the Liao Kingdom Lord.
As for why the leader of the Liao Kingdom killed his own son?
It can only be said that he has too many sons, more than a dozen, and more than a dozen daughters.

Moreover, the second prince of the Liao Kingdom is not obvious and does not leak water.

He didn't feel like someone with great potential, so naturally he wouldn't get the attention and love of the leader of the Liao Kingdom.

For a useless second prince, if he could get some advantage from the Dawu Kingdom before he died, it would be considered a worthy death, so the Liao Kingdom Lord didn't care.

This also explains why the second prince of the Liao Kingdom can go out to study at will.

And the second prince of the Liao Kingdom, why did he arrange the assassination of the Empress? It was because he wanted the Liao Kingdom Lord to notice him.

As for how the second prince of the Liao Kingdom would fight each other with his brothers, and how the envoys of the Liao Kingdom would plead guilty to the Lord of the Liao Kingdom, these were beyond Chen Yi's concern.

Now, Chen Yi put all his thoughts on the Ministry of Industry, urging the Ministry of Industry to produce a large number of weapons.

When General Hu came back to resume his duties, Chen Yi suddenly remembered the money at home.

So after morning exercises the next day, I went directly to the palace to see the empress.

"Chen Shilang, I don't know what to ask to see the widow."

The empress had an amiable smile on her face. During this time, Chen Yi was very honest, and there was no more confrontation. In fact, it was mainly because all of Chen Yi's thoughts were in the Ministry of Industry, making weapons.

The empress also resolved the conflict because of the previous two people, and also made a fortune.

On the whole, the cooperation is relatively tacit. The empress is very satisfied with Chen Yi's performance during this period, so the relationship between the two has improved a lot, at least compared to the previous period, it is a qualitative leap.

Of course, it can only be said that it is more harmonious on the surface.

Privately, I really didn't get much approval, and Chen Yi didn't have time.

"Your Majesty, I came here this time to ask Your Majesty to forgive me. There was an incident that I concealed from Your Majesty, and I didn't say it clearly. Until today, the reality has matured, so I hereby enter the palace to plead guilty."

The empress raised her eyebrows, attracted by Chen Yi's words, and became curious.

The empress felt that there was harmony in the court recently, and there was nothing too big. She didn't know what Chen Yi was hiding from her.

The empress didn't take this matter to heart either, thinking it should be harmless.

"It's okay, Chen Shilang, but it's okay to say it, let's listen to it."

Chen Yi looked up at the empress, and found that the empress was in a good mood, so he reported the truth.

"Your Majesty! I concealed something about the escort of the second prince of Liao Kingdom."

When Chen Yi mentioned this, the empress naturally remembered that she and Chen Yi had talked about the agreement that the second prince had talked about in the dungeon. The empress frowned. Could there be something else in it that she didn't know?

The empress suddenly felt that it was her illusion that Chen Yi was so peaceful.

"What is there to hide?"

When Chen Yi heard that the voice of the Empress became cold, without the deliberate gentleness before, Chen Yi pouted in his heart.

Sure enough, women are like this, too realistic.

Chen Yi was calm and calm, and said unhurriedly: "This is to escort the second prince of the Liao Kingdom back to the Liao Kingdom safely, and I have put forward one more condition with the second prince of the Liao Kingdom."

The empress was a little surprised, but also a little bit unbelievable.

During the negotiation, the three of them were all there. Why didn't she know that there were other conditions?

At this time, the empress was smart and didn't speak, but just looked at Chen Yi coldly.

Chen Yi didn't want to wait for the empress to say anything, so he just continued talking on his own.

"The extra condition I added is that if the second prince wants to save his own life, he needs to spend an additional 400 million taels of silver to buy his own life."

"What did you say? How much?! 400 million taels?!"

The empress suddenly stood up from the chair, leaned forward, with an unbelievable expression on her face.

Chen Yi raised his head, nodded with a smug smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, I heard you right. It is 400 million taels. The silver is now in the minister's house. Your Majesty can send someone to bring it back now."

The empress sat down slowly, and an excited smile appeared on her face in the next second.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Chen Shilang, you gave me such a big surprise, 400 million taels! That is to say, we made a total of 400 taels of silver from Liu Guo this time?!"

The empress walked back and forth in the hall excitedly.

You know, the gap between the two is not a little bit, it is 400 million taels.

Liao Kingdom gave 5000 taels of silver, and the empress was already very satisfied. Unexpectedly, Chen Yi blackmailed so much later. With these silvers, the treasury is so empty, it is almost full, okay?
It's no wonder that the empress is so excited. You must know that these are real money. Even before, when the first emperor was still in power, there was not so much money in the treasury.

After all, money is needed everywhere in the country.

But this time is different, this is a fixed fund, how could the Empress be unhappy?

However, the empress was worthy of being the lord of a country. After being excited for a while, she slowly calmed down, and then looked at Chen Yi who was standing motionless.

"What's going on here? You're telling the truth."

Chen Yi was a little surprised to see that the Empress calmed down so quickly, and then said what he had found.

"The minister did not tell His Majesty before, because he was worried that this matter would be leaked out. If the Lord of the Liao Kingdom knew that we had two deals, he would definitely not spare our Dawu Kingdom."

When Chen Yi said this, he looked up at the empress and paused before continuing.

"The minister told the second prince of the Liao Kingdom that we have already negotiated with the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and that 5000 taels will let him go, but can the Liao Kingdom easily let him go back? Our Dawu Kingdom doesn't care."

The Empress remained expressionless after hearing this.

"That's why I revealed that the Lord of Liao Kingdom didn't want him to go back, but wanted him to die in Dawu Kingdom!"
