After redemption, he took away the luck of the future queen

After thinking for a moment, Duke Fu frowned again.

Based on his granddaughter's hatred for Princess Wu'an, he probably couldn't save his face and took the initiative to ask Princess Wu'an for treatment. He asked his granddaughter angrily: "Qingzhu, my grandfather just mentioned Princess Wu'an, you are not sick. How is your health now?"

Wang Qingzhu was stunned for a moment.

Yes, she is not sick.

What exactly is going on?

Duke Fuguo didn't have time to beat around the bush with her, so he told her what happened in Duke Ding's mansion today.

Wang Qingzhu was a little shocked after hearing this.

When she learned that she was ill, her cousin Jin Zhu was not with her, and she was very angry.

But after hearing that Princess Wu'an touched her, she fell asleep inexplicably, sleeping on the ground in public!

The hatred in her heart was why Princess Wu'an didn't help her up first, put her on the bed or a brocade couch, and then let her sleep. Did Princess Wu'an deliberately make her look embarrassed in front of everyone?

The same goes for Jin Zhu. Wang Qingzhu has long felt that Jin Zhu takes care of herself not out of sincerity, but out of helplessness.

But why did Princess Wu'an have the ability to make herself sleep peacefully when she was sick?

"Grandpa, I feel very good now, but do you believe that Princess Wu'an is really capable of curing my illness? Anyway, I don't believe it." Wang Qingzhu's tone was full of disdain and contempt for Princess Wu'an.

She suddenly fell asleep when she was ill, and Princess Wu'an just touched her. It was not that Princess Wu'an did anything to her, but an unexpected situation, which cannot be blamed on Princess Wu'an.

Duke Fuguo disagreed with his granddaughter's opinion. He thought that he ate more salt than her granddaughter ate. He had his own judgment. He would know if Princess Wu'an had the ability to cure her granddaughter's illness. He would not know until he gave it a try. Well.

I believe Princess Wu'an cares about her reputation.

So what if Princess Wu'an knew that her granddaughter Qingzhu had taken action against her many times?

Isn’t Princess Wu’an okay and living well?

Since Princess Wu'an has the ability to heal her granddaughter Qingzhu, she should rescue her. If she doesn't save her, it means that Princess Wu'an has no sense of justice and refuses to save her.

On the same day, Duke Fu ordered people to spread rumors about Princess Wu'an.

In Dingguo Palace, so many people saw with their own eyes that as soon as Princess Wu'an took action, Wang Qingzhu's sudden illness immediately stabilized. However, Princess Wu'an stopped her hand in time and did not take any action to completely cure Wang Qingzhu's condition, allowing Wang Qingzhu to continue to endure it. The torment of illness makes me miserable.

The reason why Princess Wu'an is so hard-hearted is because Princess Wu'an knows that she is not worthy of Prince Rong at all. Wang Qingzhu is a good match for Prince Rong. Princess Wu'an has a grudge, so she refuses to save her.

This rumor can be described as murderous and heartbreaking.

And instantly saved the face that Wang Qingzhu lost in front of all the ladies and young ladies due to the illness, and directed the fault to Princess Wu'an, allowing everyone to blame Princess Wu'an for being hard-hearted and heartless, and at the same time making everyone feel sympathy for Wang Qingzhu. .

This rumor quickly spread in the capital due to Fu Guogong's methods.

Like other rumors against Princess Wu'an, there are people who believe it and people who don't.

The believer naturally saw with his own eyes what Princess Wu'an did to Wang Qingzhu. After hearing the rumors, he suddenly recalled the situation at that time. It seemed that it was just as the rumors said. After Princess Wu'an touched Wang Qingzhu, Wang Qingzhu His condition became stable.

At this time, everyone really sympathized with Wang Qingzhu, and felt displeasure or even disgust towards Princess Wu'an.

Unbelievers naturally have their own opinions.

Princess Wu'an is so young, how can she treat illnesses and save people?

None of them had ever heard that Princess Wu'an studied medicine or was a female doctor. This rumor may be like other rumors, deliberately slandering Princess Wu'an.

Ever since Pian He met the assassin, Gu Jianxing had ordered people to keep an eye on every move in the Duke Fu's mansion, so as soon as the rumors spread, he heard the rumors and was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

the next day.

In the Jinluan Palace.

The emperor wore a dragon robe embroidered with colorful gold threads and sat on a dragon chair, showing the majesty of the emperor.

It was Chang Xingbo who was still the first to step out of the queue and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have my own merits."

"Sang Aiqing, tell me quickly." Gu Jianli looked very expectant, which gave Chang Xingbo a lot of face.

"Your Majesty, the draft girls are coming soon. Many palaces in the harem are old and dilapidated. The intact palaces are not enough to accommodate the many concubines. I thought it would be better to renovate the old palaces and build several new palaces."

As soon as Chang Xingbo finished speaking, Lu Yushi immediately came out to refute him.

"Uncle Changxing, the treasury is empty. Do you want to put your majesty in a disadvantageous situation? Your majesty is not that foolish king who knows he is enjoying himself but doesn't care about the life and death of the people in the world and whether the northwest army will starve to death."

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the main hall felt special admiration in their hearts.

Good guy, just a few days after Lu Yushi came to court, he angrily attacked Chang Xingbo in the court every day.

Whenever someone suggested building a palace for the emperor, collecting exotic flowers and herbs, donating beautiful women, etc., he would stand up and say something.

Presumably, he has not yet figured out the emperor's temper and Changxingbo's nature, so he dares to curse. Today, he even equates the renovation and expansion of the palace with the wise and foolish emperor. Isn't he afraid of being dragged out and executed with a stick?

I wonder where Lu Chengfeng got his confidence?

The words show that you can scold the king, but you can't scold the foolish king. Be careful that the emperor puts on small shoes for you.

Lu Chengfeng: "..."

Chang Xingbo frowned when he saw Lu Yushi who was targeting him. He felt very unhappy and defended himself.

"Lu Yushi, do you know how much the salt tax was last year? Last year's salt tax was as much as one million taels. Why not use half of it to renovate and expand the palace?"

"You also know that only one million taels of salt tax was collected last year. More than 800,000 taels of silver were spent on the funeral of the late emperor. The remaining one hundred thousand taels of salt tax was enough for His Majesty and his concubines to live in food and armament. Military pay, the salary of hundreds of officials? It’s obviously not enough.”

Lu Yushi immediately responded.

"What Sang is talking about is only the salt tax. In addition, there are land tax, commercial tax and iron tax. Why can't some of it be used to build palaces for His Majesty's concubines?"

Chang Xingbo felt that if Lu Yushi prevented the emperor from enjoying himself, he would definitely be displeased by the emperor.

"The land tax, commercial tax and iron tax are not as much as the salt tax alone. Taken together, they are not enough to cover the daily life and food of His Majesty and his concubines, the military pay, and the salaries of the officials."

Chang Xingbo was speechless, what Lu Yushi said was true.

But even if it is true, it cannot stop the emperor from enjoying himself.

Gu Jianli just sat upright on the dragon chair, watching Lu Yushi and Chang Xingbo fight at leisure.

Lu Yushi called him a foolish king, but he was actually angry. Who likes to be scolded like this as soon as he sits on the throne, but what does his scolding mean compared to the world?

A minister who can be outspoken and persuasive is much more useful than ministers like Chang Xingbo who deliberately dig holes for him to jump into, or ministers who only flatter others.

Furthermore, he desperately needs a knife now, a knife that is extremely sharp, a knife that can bluff, hurt or kill people when drawn out.

Now it seems that this sword belongs to none other than Lu Yushi.

Even worse, there is Marquis Chongshan.

These two people are his two good knives, and he will protect them.

Lu Yushi, who was arguing with Chang Xingbo, didn't know that he was regarded as a sharp knife by the emperor.
