The emperor was silent for a long time, and he lowered his head and saw the painting that made people feel heartbroken and unable to breathe. He raised his hand and stroked it gently, and his hands were trembling.

He paused for a moment, and his tone was heartbroken and blamed himself, "Oh my god, I'm sorry for you and the girl. She was blind and helped me, the old man, and I couldn't even give her... justice."

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been a fair and benevolent monarch, and it is obvious to all.

Song Zhengtian knelt on the ground, his head lying on the ground, trembling and choking, and said nothing.

"The emperor is serious. You have always loved the people as much as your son. Some of the wealth ghosts clearly eat the king's fortune but do not know how to do things with their hearts. They are insatiable and cruel. They have let down the emperor's trust and love."

Cui Xiangye’s consolation with affection.

"My dear, I ordered you to send someone to investigate the Geng family in private, but I will not give you a handwritten order. If you fail, I will not admit it. Just like Zhong Xuan back then, I will die in vain, and I cannot avenge him. What are you willing to do?"

"The old minister is willing to die for the emperor, be loyal to the emperor, and be the country and the people, and the old minister is willing to do it."

Prince Cui immediately knelt down, pointed his head at the ground, and made a loud voice. He finally waited for this opportunity in his lifetime.

Song Zhengtian raised his head and wanted to ask for his life to investigate the Geng family, even if he paid the price of his life, he would be willing to do so.

The emperor raised his hand to stop him, "Zhengtian, you can help the prime minister to investigate privately, but your main task is to help me watch the Ministry of Revenue. You can't let the worms eat up all the money in my family. No matter how shameless I am, I can't use the girl's money to fill the holes for the rest of my life. This makes no sense."

The sound full of energy was filled with fatigue and anger, as well as deep helplessness and reluctance.

"Yes, I obey the order."

"Eunuch Li, let the Ministry of Rites draft Mrs. Song's imperial edict and phoenix crown and red veil as a reward. The girl will let Brother Hao earn it for her when she is young. All I can give is this, hahaha!"

He smiled with a self-deprecating smile. His daughter almost died, but he gave him an imperial decree. What a sarcasm.

"Here."

Eunuch Li responded.

"Thank you for the praise of the emperor."

"Don't thank you, I'm very ashamed. The situation in the northwest is not optimistic. The old marquis is old and can no longer intimidate the Tatar Kingdom. Maybe a fierce battle will happen in winter, and the Ministry of Revenue's owed money should be collected as soon as possible."

The emperor was worried. The treasury was empty and money was needed everywhere. But when the war was about to go to war, there was no supply of food and grass, what would the soldiers eat? Should they go to war with hunger?

"Yes, I will definitely collect the owed money for you."

Song Zhengtian made a vow gritting his teeth.

"As for the Geng family's affairs, let's leave them to Dali Temple to investigate. Since the Song family's affairs are investigated like this, then the Geng family will also investigate this."

The emperor clearly stated that he was ruling and ignored it. The Song family did not find it out, and the Geng family could not find it out.

I am neither maintaining nor biased, you can do it yourself.

In fact, he is already biased. Yang has obtained the third-rank imperial edict.

This imperial edict is not that your husband will definitely get a phoenix crown and robe if he has a rank of official positions. It is not the case. The phoenix crown is given at the beginning of the third rank. It is the three dragon and phoenix crown.

First, the man is to take the initiative to submit a memorial to ask for a certificate, whether to give it to the emperor's mood; second, the emperor uses it to reward officials and give you a face. At the same time, he has the talent to hand over the sign to the palace to meet the nobles of the female relatives in the palace.

Ladies of the same grade who have no brand cannot enter the palace directly. They need to find someone with brand indirect help. The palace is not your vegetable field, so they can go there if they want.

Therefore, this imperial edict seems very precious. The emperor is very stingy in the issuance of imperial edicts. It is a form of rewarding officials in the court, and it is a glory and will not be distributed casually.

After Yang had an imperial edict, Mrs. Geng was of higher rank than her. The queen's biological mother did not have an imperial edict. Every time she entered the palace, she used the brand of his old lady, which shows that.

"yes."

Everyone retreated, and Mr. Yang had already returned. When he came to the palace, the emperor did not ask about this. He discussed the situation in the northwest border, but outsiders did not think so. They thought they were scolding the old man, but it was not.

Cui Hao also wiped his sweat when he left the palace, "Is this considered turning a blind eye?"

"Well, forget it, we didn't admit it, the emperor didn't ask."

Song Zhengtian chuckled while pinching the corner of his clothes, and he felt much more relaxed.

"Oh, I'm actually going to be with us. My mother-in-law has received the imperial edict, but the Geng family has no substantial comfort."

"Yes, some things cannot be explained explicitly, but can only be understood but not expressed in words. This is the way of the king and the minister. You have to learn a lot. You cannot be a worm in the emperor's stomach. That will make the emperor afraid that you will die sooner or later. For example, the Geng family knows the emperor too much, and doing more unrighteous things will kill you.

Erwu cannot completely understand the emperor's meaning. Everything should be done in moderation, just like you are in charge of the common affairs of your family. A useful manager will always be loyal, and will make mistakes but will never disappoint you. You can get more tips and get all the information."

Song Zhengtian used his years of experience as an official to mention his son-in-law.

"The son-in-law has been taught."

Cui Hao saluted respectfully, as if he understood something.

"Remember it carefully. This is your father-in-law's years of experience as an official, so you must not be underestimated."

Cui Yu also agrees with Song Zhengtian's words very much, and don't underestimate others when he beats his son.

"Yes, my son has recorded it, and I dare not forget it."

"By the way, Dad, Lan'er's painting has not been taken back yet."

Cui Hao was still thinking about the painting of his young wife being detained by the emperor.

"Can you think of something else in your mind? I'll give it back to you sooner or later, what's the hurry?"

Cui Yu rolled his eyes in anger.

Cui Hao pouted and responded aggrievedly.

"Brother Cui, we need to make preparations for food. I am worried that something will happen in winter."

Song Zhengtian has had strong forward-looking vision and practical experience for many years, and has a premonition that the situation is not optimistic.

"Don't worry, I personally supervised this matter. The other side of the Qi family has almost prepared. The Tenth Prince and the Seventh Prince also said hello and said there is no problem. Their relatives are willing to participate and are preparing. There are many people and great power. I can't make any mistakes."

Cui Yu immediately guaranteed that everything was foolproof.

"That's good. My family has prepared a lot. Lan'er said she was afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation to rob the grain price and raise the grain price. She was ready to stabilize the grain price.

She is not suitable for Brother Hao to emerge. You help me get this done, don’t mention her name. Now, it’s better for her to be more stable. Brother Yan wrote a letter and immediately took the boat back. You will take your brother to learn how to be too arrogant."

Song Zhengtian replaced his daughter and took over her son. His daughter's ability was unquestionable. However, after experiencing the assassination, he was also reflecting on whether he made his daughter too high-profile, which led to being assassinated. He was already engaged. It would be better to be safe and low-key.

"Brother Yan is coming back, it's great. Then we'll do this. The elders will give us some advice."

When Cui Hao heard that his brother was coming back, he also had a smile on his face.
