This family confiscation storm ended with the eldest princess's victory.

The ministers who followed the emperor, their clothes wet with sweat, looked at Chu Qinghuang with fear, uneasiness, nervousness, and shock... The existing vocabulary could not perfectly summarize their mood at this time.

Since the founding of the country, no, it should be said that in all dynasties, there has never been an eldest princess who behaves like this, and no emperor has ever allowed his daughter to behave like this. This is simply going to turn the imperial city into a bloody mess.

It's crazy.

If she is allowed to continue like this, all the civil and military personnel of the dynasty will have to stay in prison. By then, whether it is the sky prison or the prison of the Ministry of punishment, I am afraid that it will be overcrowded.

"My lords, why are you looking at me like this?" Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a cold and sarcastic voice, "Are you crazy and insulting me in your heart? Is I an evil god? I don't recognize my relatives? Or are you still thinking of ways to impeach me and let me Father, please abolish this scourge of this palace as soon as possible?”

The ministers were shocked and immediately knelt down to her: "I don't dare!"

In front of the emperor, you should behave as you should.

Who dares to jump out and refute at this time, maybe she will immediately take her three thousand guards to ransack their home.

"The national treasury has been empty recently, and Xiqi needs your help at this time." Chu Qinghuang's voice was calm and calm, not like the words of a fifteen-year-old girl. I hope all of you will be able to repay your father's kindness faithfully. Don't always hold the king back. You should give money when it's time, and you should make efforts when you should. You have really become a minister with a clear conscience. Please ask me to raid your home. , I won’t go either.”

Small shrimps and small fish are not worth her time and energy, but everyone she targets is definitely a corrupt official who is so greedy that even if they are thrown into the moat, they will not be able to clean themselves.

The ministers bowed and saluted: "Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is loyal to the country, mighty and domineering, and may live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

The emperor stood aside and looked at the scene in front of him silently, with complex feelings in his heart that were difficult to describe.

He felt that he, the emperor, was being protected by his daughter. His daughter, who was only fifteen years old, was devoted to him. Not only did she confiscate the homes of corrupt officials, solving the problem of an empty treasury, but she also took away the power of powerful officials and soldiers, so that he would no longer have to be constrained in the future. , will not be afraid.

In front of so many people, Qinghuang didn't mind making enemies of all the ministers, just to protect his father.

When the emperor thought about those sons who were too timid to show up but wanted to fight for the throne, he felt really unspeakable in his heart.

"During this period, I am in charge of the Silver Armored Army, so I may need the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate funds." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "But the money in the treasury is limited, and I have only confiscated the Hong family and Ling family so far. This money Once it's used up, it's gone. If money is needed elsewhere, it will inevitably be stretched again, so I ask you all to donate generously. If you behave well, my father and I will see it. If you behave badly, , I will also keep it in mind, you can decide what to do.”

The emperor almost applauded her.

What a spirit!

As expected, there is nothing to be afraid of because you have nothing to ask for. Those princes are eyeing the position of prince every day, for fear of offending the important ministers in the court. Who dares to be as courageous as Qinghuang?

He was so lucky to have such a daughter.

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but feel sorry for Concubine Duan. In fact, his love for Concubine Duan was not entirely due to the Ling family's military power. He did like her gentleness and considerateness over the years - even if he knew the women in the harem. Best at disguise.

But it's her ability to disguise it well so that no one can see through it, isn't it?

With the emperor's favor and such a capable daughter, as long as Concubine Duan keeps to herself, teaches her son to be a talented person, concentrates on his studies, and occasionally helps the emperor relieve his worries, why worry about not being able to win the position of heir apparent?

There was a time when he considered making Tianzheng the crown prince, but unfortunately, he didn't have this fate.

The emperor raised his eyes slightly and looked at the powerful daughter in front of him. Although she was only fifteen years old, she had courage and magnanimity that few adult men could have. Especially her strong ability was beyond the reach of others.

How great would it be if she were a prince?

The emperor felt a little regretful.

"All my dear friends, I have heard that the national treasury is short of money recently. The court needs money to raise troops, and I also need money to govern the country. Ministers who have plenty of money can each contribute some. More or less depends on your wishes. Just treat it as my and yours. If you borrow it, when the national treasury is abundant and Xi Qi is strong, I will definitely return the money in full."

The ministers knelt down and said: "My Holy Emperor! Long live, long live, long live!"

Long live?

The emperor's mood became increasingly complicated as he watched the officials kneel on the ground and shout long live the mountain.

Scenes like this seem to happen often recently, especially the last time the Hong Shangshu Mansion was confiscated and today's interrogation of the Ling family. The ministers' voices shouting "Long Live the Mountain" were particularly loud and overwhelming, as if they were afraid that he would not know their loyalty.

And all of this is Qinghuang's contribution.
