Four days later, there will be a meeting.
As soon as Xie Yan appeared, he attracted the attention of many ministers.
Master Fan could no longer restrain himself. When many ministers stood up, he immediately stood up straight, holding the elephant wat in his hand and walked quickly towards the Xie Banquet.
"Your Highness! I have something to report!" Mr. Fan's voice was very heavy, as if something important was going on.
The moment he saw Master Fan coming out of the queue, Master Xu secretly sighed in his heart.
Unexpectedly, although Mr. Fan is old, he has a good memory. It has been several days, but he can still remember the events of the wedding day!
When Huang Shangshu saw the change in the expression on Mr. Fan's face, he knew that Mr. Xu knew the inside story, and immediately looked at Mr. Xu: "What is it?"
"The thing that made Master Fan take action was naturally the wedding four days ago." Master Xu whispered, "Master Fan hates extravagance and waste the most. No, on that day of the wedding, Master Fan completely focused on the Pei family and emperor."
"What do I think is a big deal?" Huang Shangshu waved his hand, "It turns out it is such a small matter."
Speaking of this, Huang Shangshu discussed with Mr. Xu in a low voice: "Actually, the most important thing is the emperor's surname."
Hearing this, Mr. Xu was stunned: "Change your surname?"
Huang Shangshu nodded: "The emperor's surname is Chu after all, how can he always bear the surname of Xie? This world also belongs to the Chu Kingdom."
"It makes sense." Mr. Xu nodded, "But how can I tell the emperor about this?"
Huang Shangshu glanced at Mr. Fan in front of him and pursed his lips: "Isn't he right here?"
Lord Xu glanced at Huang Shangshu suspiciously. Huang Shangshu chuckled and said slyly: "Master Fan attaches great importance to etiquette. What he cares about most should be the emperor's surname. We only need to mention it... "
After hearing this, Mr. Xu nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, we can do this."
The two of them had a discussion and were very enthusiastic about this matter.
At this time, Mr. Fan, who was being discussed by the two people, was standing in front of the courtiers and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, your wedding to the Queen a few days ago was too extravagant!"
"Extravagant?" Xie Yan raised his eyes and stared at Mr. Fan, "In Mr. Fan's opinion, how can the wedding of the emperor and the empress not be extravagant?"
As soon as Xie Yan finished speaking, Pei Anlin started shouting.
"That's right! What is not extravagant? Is it possible that the two of them just have a wedding? This is the wedding of an emperor and an empress! If it is so shabby, how can we show the greatness of our Chu country?"
Pei Anlin's enemies are his family, and now Master Fan's words are clearly aimed at Gu Ning.
These courtiers were all as timid as mice and did not dare to criticize Xie Yan directly. Instead, they stared at Gu Ning. Everything Gu Ning did was magnified by them.
Even though Pei Anlin had expected it, he didn't expect that at this first court meeting after the wedding, someone would make trouble with Gu Ning.
Pei Anlin had a stinking look on his face, gnashing his teeth and thinking in his heart: "Do you think I am willing to marry my niece into the palace?"
Mr. Fan was stunned by Pei Anlin for a long time and could not speak. Seeing that Pei Anlin calmed down, he continued to speak: "Your Majesty, even if the emperor's wedding should be so extravagant, the dowry given by the Pei family..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Fan looked at Pei Anlin: "It's too much!"
"Although the Pei family is a century-old family and has a lot of savings, the dowry is far from enough even if the entire Pei family collects it together!"
Mr. Fan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
Pei Anlin was so angry that he rolled his eyes: "What do you know? So what if our Pei family gives all the property to the queen as a dowry? This is our own family matter, what does it have to do with you?"
"If the dowry you gave was obtained from the people's wealth and anointing, then it has something to do with me!" Mr. Fan hated the unreasonable generals like Pei Anlin the most, and his face became increasingly ugly.
Lord Fan stared at Pei Anlin with disdain in his eyes.
Likewise, Pei Anlin stared at him with great disdain, even anger.
While the two were arguing, Xie Yan said indifferently: "I know the origin of the dowry very well."
"When I was in Yuezhou, it was the queen who found the late emperor's private treasury for me." Xie Yan wrote lightly, "As a thank you gift, I gave half of the private treasury to the queen."
"The dowry for the wedding that day was only one-third of the queen's private property."
Xie Yan's words completely silenced the entire Tai Chi Hall.
Mr. Fan's mouth widened and he looked at Xie Yan in disbelief: "The late Emperor's private treasury? You gave it away so easily?"
"That is the wife I recognize, why can't I give it away?" Xie Yan asked, "Besides, if there is no queen, I may not even be able to get close to the private treasury."
Not only Mr. Fan, but also Mr. Huang Shangshu and Mr. Xu who were watching the excitement on the side, their hearts trembled with Xie Yan's words.
The late emperor was a money addict. He plundered many good things from the ministers whose homes were confiscated and from the treasury of the previous dynasty and put them in his own private treasury. It is said that the late emperor's private treasury was richer than the national treasury at that time.
And half of the late emperor's private treasury...
Huang Shangshu covered his chest and murmured: "Fortunately, I am not the Hubu Shangshu, otherwise I would really be so angry at this sentence that I would roll my eyes."
Mr. Xu squeezed Huang Shangshu's hand and his expression changed.
At this time, Huang Shangshu realized that Mr. Xu’s in-law family was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance.
I saw Liu Qi, the Minister of Household Affairs, with an ugly face, the corners of his mouth trembling constantly, and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
"That's the late emperor's private treasury!" Liu Qi shouted viciously in his heart!
Master Xu's face was equally ugly, and he felt extremely distressed.
There were many courtiers like them, and their faces were about to turn red.
There were many people staring at Pei Anlin with envy in their eyes.
Xie Yan just said that it was one-third of Gu Ning's private treasury, so wouldn't the remaining two-thirds be in the Pei family?
With this thought popping up in their minds, many adults were already considering a marriage with the Pei family.
Even without Gu Ning's private treasury, the Pei family is still an excellent marriage partner. The two young masters of the Pei family are good-looking and have outstanding abilities.
What's more, there is still so much money!
When everyone thought of this, there was a burst of heat in front of their eyes!
This is a net worth comparable to the national treasury!
Pei Anlin felt that the eyes of his colleagues around him were turning into wolves, and he quickly said: "Our Pei family never takes money from juniors!"
Xie Yan, who was above, nodded: "Indeed, the queen has handed over the remaining two-thirds to me."
"I also put two-thirds of the half of the private treasury I received initially into the national treasury together with the two-thirds given by the queen."
Liu Qi, who still needed to pinch the crowd just now, his eyes became extremely bright at this time.
"really?"
"I don't need to lie."
Xie Yan's cold words made Liu Qi react.
Liu Qi smiled coquettishly: "I lost my temper in a moment of excitement, please punish me by Your Highness!"
Xie Yan raised his hand and didn't care about Liu Qi's gaffe.
Lord Fan was not successful at the beginning, and was about to kneel down and confess his crime when he suddenly thought of something.
He first confessed: "I have many misunderstandings about the Queen, and it is my fault! I hope Your Highness will punish me."
Xie Yan gave Mr. Fan a steady look and said, "That's all, it's not a big deal."
"Before going to court this time, the Queen also said that all ministers are dedicated and loyal to the country and the people. Even if they are not, as long as it is not a big deal, I should be more tolerant."
"Master Fan raised the question only for the sake of Chu State. I will not blame you."
Master Fan heard this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, he mentioned another thing.
"Your Majesty, you have ascended the throne. This surname..."
He was the first to mention this matter, and many ministers took a breath.
In fact, everyone is paying attention to this matter, but no one dares to speak out at this time, for fear of being blamed by Xie Yan.
And with Lord Fan starting to speak, everyone started to agree.
Even Huang Shangshu and Lord Xu were among them.
"Yes! Your Majesty! This country is the country of Chu after all! You also have the blood of the Chu family in your body! It's time for you to restore your original surname!"
Xie Yan sat on the dragon chair with a little sarcasm in his eyes.
However, recalling what Gu Ning said today, he suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded slowly: "I will consider this matter."
He just said that he would think about it but did not agree immediately. Everyone saw the fishiness in it.
However, no one dared to speak, because Xie Yan's vigorous and resolute methods were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Even Lord Fan fell silent after hearing Xie Yan say that he would consider the matter.
After retreating from the court, Xie Yan was exhausted and walked back to Fengyi Hall.
When he saw Gu Ning sitting in front of the hall, he felt all the fatigue in his body disappear instantly.
He walked quickly to Gu Ning's side, his eyes instantly softened: "Why are you sitting here? I'm worried about catching a cold."
Hearing this, Gu Ning raised her delicate chin, looked at Xie Yan, and said softly: "This is the first time you will go to court after we got married, so I thought that I would pick you up at the door."
After saying that, she smiled and said, "Did someone talk about our marriage?"
Xie Yan's face was slightly cold, but when he looked at Gu Ning, it became extremely soft: "These are all trivial matters, Ning'er doesn't need to worry."
"You don't need to pay any attention to what those old-fashioned people say."
When Xie Yan spoke, he gently rubbed Gu Ning's palm.
Gu Ning held hands with him, and they walked into Fengyi Hall together.
Chunyu and Yue Rong followed the two of them. After seeing the two of them enter the dormitory, they stood at the door knowingly.
Yue Rong also said with great interest: "You haven't seen the faces of those adults today. After they knew that the princess held the late emperor's private treasury, their expressions were extremely exciting."
Hearing this, Chunyu chuckled lightly, with a cold look in his eyes.
"What does the late emperor's private treasury have to do with them?" Chunyu sneered, "I'm afraid everyone's eyes will turn red after hearing this news!"
"Exactly this!" Yue Rong slapped his thigh excitedly.
As soon as Xie Yan appeared, he attracted the attention of many ministers.
Master Fan could no longer restrain himself. When many ministers stood up, he immediately stood up straight, holding the elephant wat in his hand and walked quickly towards the Xie Banquet.
"Your Highness! I have something to report!" Mr. Fan's voice was very heavy, as if something important was going on.
