Rebellious officials and thieves are cheating on their fathers

The next day, Chu Yu sat on the dragon chair and asked Fang Fengxian to report in detail how much money the officials had donated.

When Fang Fengxian finished reading the roster and the amount of donated silver, Chu Yufang said: "Including my five thousand silver, a total of more than seventeen thousand silver has been raised, which is much lower than in previous years. I don't know what good strategy you have?"

Several auxiliary ministers winked secretly, Chu Yu glanced at them lightly, pretending not to notice.

After a while, Qin Xisong gave Feng Jiangen a wink.Chu Yu saw it, and asked, "Master Feng, why don't you tell me."

Feng Jiangen bowed his head hurriedly and said: "The emperor still has a few mansions outside the palace, why not sell them for money..."

"Hmph!" Chu Yu snorted coldly and said angrily, "Master Feng, why didn't you sell your mansion?"

The mansions mentioned by Feng Jiangen were originally prepared by the Chongguo royal family for the princes outside the palace, and they have always been the residences of the princes.

But since Emperor Hui, the number of royal bloodlines has decreased from generation to generation, and by the time of the first emperor, there was only one single lineage left.

Later, these mansions were either rewarded to the ministers in power, or abandoned; among them, Qin Xisong's mansion was the most prosperous Ningwang Mansion in the past, and there are three other mansions in Beijing that are still vacant.

Unexpectedly, they actually came up with such an idea today!

"Your Majesty, this old minister thinks Master Feng's proposal is not bad. Now those mansions are vacant, and they are vacant. Selling them can benefit the common people." Yang Kaide echoed.

Chu Yu calmed down after getting angry, and Ping Ping said angrily in his heart: "Since that's the case, then Taiwei Yang estimates how much my mansions can be sold for?"

Yang Kaide lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Based on the current market price, the Wei Palace should be worth five thousand taels of silver at least, and the Jin Palace and Qi Palace should be worth more than eight thousand."

"Yang Taiwei really knows how to make a price!" Chu Yu laughed mockingly, "As you said, these three mansions are only sold for more than 2 silver. Far from enough."

Yang Kaide did not expect this, and secretly regretted that he had miscalculated and said the wrong thing.

When he was thinking about how to remedy it, he heard Chu Yu say in a cold voice: "Then when the time comes, what are you going to ask me to sell? Do you want me to sell this palace so that you will be willing? "

Chu Yu's voice was cold and majestic, Yang Kaide and Feng Jiangen were taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down: "The old minister has absolutely no such intention!"

Seeing this, the rest of the ministers in the hall hurriedly knelt together, only Qin Xisong and Qin Ailan stood still.

Qin Ailan didn't understand why the ancients knelt down at every turn, he didn't want to be that different person; but if he knelt at this moment, it might seem abrupt, and since Qin Xisong was also present, he just bit the bullet and stood straight. with.

Anyway, whether he kneels or not, in the eyes of others, he is the same - the son of a treacherous minister.

Chu Yu passed Qin Xisong and glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, but said nothing; his silence made the kneeling people feel a sense of pressure and fear.

Qin Xisong glanced at Chu Yu, unknowingly, this little emperor had a bit of majesty as a son of heaven, far more troublesome than his weak father.

Qin Ailan secretly looked at Qin Xisong's face, knowing that he was about to show up, she stepped forward and said: "The emperor calms down, I believe the two adults have no malicious intentions. I have an unwritten proposal, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Only then did Chu Yu regain his normal expression, and said, "Your Majesty Qin, if you have something to say, you might as well speak it out."

Qin Xisong also looked at his precious son, Qin Ailan always likes to grab the limelight recently, although she seems impetuous, it's better than hanging around in brothels all day long.

Qin Xisong didn't come forward to stop it, he just wanted to hear what solution Qin Ailan would come up with!

"I heard that Lin Xiangwen once worked in the Ministry of Industry, and his disciples are all over the world, especially in Qingzhou and Ningzhou. We might as well give him a chance to deal with the Qingzhou embankment. The rest of the money will be It is up to him to figure out a way. If he can handle this matter well and ensure that there will be no floods in Qingzhou this year, then the emperor will spare his family the death penalty. Lin Xiangwen will definitely spare no effort in order to survive, and we don't have to worry about the embankment of Qingzhou anymore. Worry about things."

As soon as Qin Ailan's words came out, all the ministers looked at each other, and then they all looked at Qin Xisong.

Qin Xisong never expected that his son would make such a suggestion, and it seemed strange that it was him who made it.

Everyone knows Lin Xiangwen's talent in water control. If he agrees, the Lin family will most likely escape the catastrophe.

He didn't execute Lin Xiangwen. Apart from following the rules, there was another reason why Lin Muxue and Han Jiyun were not found. These two people were the chief culprits who caused Qin Ailan to almost die!

And now Qin Ailan's proposal undoubtedly gave the Lin family a chance to be reborn!

What was Qin Ailan thinking?Looking at the son who is the closest to him and who gets along with him day and night, Qin Xisong feels a little bit confused.

Qin Xisong pondered for a long time, then looked at Chu Yu sitting on the seat, and for some reason, he had a strange intuition——Chu Yu had a lot to do with this matter!

Sensing Qin Xisong's probing gaze, Chu Yu frowned, looked at Qin Ailan and said, "Master Qin's plan is very clever! Do you want to squeeze Master Lin dry and then execute him?"

Qin Ailan replied: "I don't understand what the emperor said. I'm giving Mr. Lin the opportunity to commit crimes and meritorious deeds! Anyway, if Mr. Lin doesn't go, he will stay in the prison and wait for death; if he goes to Qingzhou to finish the matter, The whole family is saved, I'm afraid Mr. Lin should thank me very much."

Chu Yu sneered, "Who doesn't know that the embankment in Qingzhou is repaired every year, and there are floods every year? In the past, I allocated 20 silver to dredge the river and repair the embankment, but there was no effect. Now you want Mr. Lin Take more than 1 silver to manage Qingjiang well, I am afraid that there is not enough money for stone materials!"

"This is his own business. If he wants to pay off the crime, and it is a crime of death penalty, he will naturally have to make extraordinary efforts. Otherwise, wouldn't his death sentence be pardoned too easily?" Qin Ailan said.

Chu Yu hesitated, then looked at Qin Xisong, "What does Prime Minister Qin think?"

Qin Xisong also hesitated, he didn't want to give Lin Xiangwen any chance.But Qin Ailan is living well now, and the relationship between Liu Yinglan and the Lin family was also very good back then...

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Xisong said: "The old minister thinks this plan is feasible! Since it is widely rumored in the world that Mr. Lin is so good, let him show his skills; if he can't do this well, it can only show that he is a waste of time." It is not a pity to die if you get a false name!"

More than 1 silver to control the water, I'm afraid it's just a daydream; it depends on his real ability and whether he will never leave his disciples!

If he really has such ability, then treat it as your own and give him the last chance!Qin Xisong thought to himself.

"Do you have any objections, my lords?" Chu Yu asked with a straight face.

"I have no objection!" The Qin family's father and son don't care about enemies, what's their business?The answers of the ministers were very consistent.

"Then let's retreat!" After saying that, Chu Yu got up and left with a flick of his sleeves.

He was afraid that if he walked slowly, Qin Xisong would change his mind...

After coming down to court, Qin Xisong called Qin Ailan to stop, "Did the emperor say anything to you in the last two days?"
