Chapter 808: The King and the Minister

The war in the northwest lasted for half a year, and Chen Xinyan lived in the palace for half a year.

Emperor Jianming found two or three helpers for him, and two young eunuchs serving him. He even wanted to give him two palace maids, but Chen Xinyan waved his hand with a wry smile and refused.

I think so, I stayed in the palace to allocate food and grass, and Chen Xinyan was eating and sleeping next to the map book. What kind of palace maids and eunuchs, for Chen Xinyan, was just a vague passerby who handed his food and clothing to his mouth.

Now that the war is over, Chen Xin said that he is finally relieved. He began to direct several assistants and packed up all the notes bit by bit.

Emperor Jianming walked over leisurely, smiling at everyone's busyness, and waved to Chen Xinyan: "If you can have free time, don't be so busy, your health is important."

Chen Xinyan stood up respectfully, put on a filial piety dress and a filial hat, and lowered his head and said, "If your Majesty doesn't need me here, I'd better go back and keep filial piety."

Although it doesn't matter if you put Chen Xinyan back, but...

"Come on your word, come and go with me."

Emperor Jianming turned around and walked towards the Imperial Garden first.

Chen Xinyan was stunned.

What happened outside that actually made Emperor Jianming want to keep himself in the palace?

When they got up and followed, the king and his ministers walked silently to the Taiye Pool and in front of Linde Hall.

"After the victory in the northwest, I will hold a banquet and a celebration banquet in this hall. I will reward merits and make a promise, and I will be in my seat." Emperor Jianming looked at the Linde Hall and then at Taiye Pool.

Chen Xinyan only felt a headache, so he stretched out his hand and pinched his forehead without saying a word.

Emperor Jianming looked back at him and laughed: "Isn't it rare to believe in words?"

"Your Majesty, I am so tired that I want to die. If you give me a kind reward, why not give me a reward now and I can go home and sleep with him for three days and three nights, okay?" Chen Xinyan was so angry that he was welcomed to Emperor Jianming.

Emperor Jianming bent his lips and smiled, looked at Taiyechi, and said in a whisper: "Jingzhi bought the entire street of Dongshi while you are not at home. I chose an auspicious day two days ago, and it has already opened."

Chen Xinyan was shocked: "One, one street!?"

Where did this kid get so much money?

"Actually, this is nothing. Jingzhi then used this street as a guarantee, which encouraged everyone to run the money and brought all the money from Datong into the National Bank for me. Now, Datong is asking Jiangnan Road for his request to close the bank.

"Jingzhi told me a long time ago that he could not agree to them. Because the money and tickets of Chase have been invalidated, if the people left behind the people, if they cannot be exchanged from Chase, they will go to my national bank to cause trouble. Therefore, Chase is still struggling to support it.

"Of course, they still want to separate the family. They happily divided themselves and reported to the clan. However, they were beaten back when they were reporting to the local government. Now the debts of Datong are under the responsibility of the entire Tong family. After they have split up, should I still go to find them next to the head of the house? Don't tease me!"

Emperor Jianming Qing sneered faintly and sighed softly: "These retreats that the Tong family wanted to find were all Jingzhi who had told me a long time ago that they must block them. Where is the truth? You have given birth to an amazing daughter."

Chen Xinyan felt his head hurt even more at this time, and he was covered in cold sweat!

"This street has been opened, and people with some brains and skills in the capital have known that Jingzhi has the right to make money. Moreover, I guess the matter between the State Bank and Datong has been spread quietly for your family. I really can't stop it."

Emperor Jianming withdrew his gaze from Taiyechi, looked at Chen Xinyan who was wiping sweat with his sleeves beside him, and then he raised his lips and said in a whisper: "Oh yes, there is another thing I should tell you. Just the day before the opening of the East City, Jingzhi's light cart was covered with curtains from top to bottom, and quietly inspected, probably to check for the missing. As a result, the horse was shocked when he returned. The horse died, the cart was dispersed, the groom broke his arm, and the maid had broken many bones. Only Jingzhi was just scared."

After these pieces came down, Chen Xinyan's face turned pale and his knees shook. When Emperor Jianming finished speaking, he felt a long breath, his feet were weak, and he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are so scaring me!"

"But, do you know who saved your daughter?" Emperor Jianming's face flashed with a hostility.

Chen Xinyan frowned instantly: "Someone happened to save my beloved daughter like this?" He paused, and his face turned pale again, and his voice unconsciously brought a sharp feeling: "But there is still a skin-loving relationship!"

When Emperor Jianming saw him, he looked murderous intent and couldn't help but laugh: "No. How clever should your daughter be? The maid kept her head and face tightly in her arms, let alone not touch her, but her face was not seen."

He paused and said softly: "But Zhou Jian, the Prince of Yong'an who saved people, revealed Jingzhi's identity. The next day, the eldest princess also sent the housekeeper of the mansion to your house to apologize, saying that if it hinders Jingzhi's reputation, the little prince of Zhou could immediately stand up and clarify."

Chen Xinyan stood beside Emperor Jianming, stomped his feet hard while biting his back teeth and cursing with hatred: "Take advantage of others' danger! Damn!"

"Think about my Linbo. Taking advantage of others' danger is the old trick of the Zhou family. Linbo and others dare to do so, let alone Jingzhi." Emperor Jianming said lightly. At the end of his words, he finally couldn't bear it and hummed softly.

"The prince should not be moved easily by the Eastern Palace. Your Highness King Wei is not in good health and is well recuperated. Even Your Highness King Yi can go to the northwest to fight on the battlefield. Is his identity not as noble as the Prince of Zhou? As a royal family, he should naturally be filial to the ancestors of the Qin family; as a prince, he should also eat the king's fortune and bear the worries of the king. This spring, the rain is abundant, and the rivers are afraid of being careful of the summer flood. Since the Prince of Zhou is idle, please follow the Ministry of Works to patrol the embankment."

Chen Xinyan straightened up coldly, put his hands in his sleeves, and said in a deep voice.

Emperor Jianming listened, nodded slowly, and said, "Well. Tomorrow, I will let the censorate present the memorial."

"After the Northwest War, everything was complicated. The Ministry of Revenue must work with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to count money, grain, horses, weapons, and subsequent reunification of the Northern Barbarians. The account of the Ministry of Revenue is now only in my heart. I am afraid of making mistakes when I go home. Therefore, I should wait for a while. When the generals return to Beijing to offer prisoners, I will go to Linde Hall, wait for Your Majesty to rectify my name and ask for a reward."

Chen Xinyan huddled seriously, as if the person who was just now was jokingly trying to go home to recuperate was another person.

Emperor Jianming chuckled and nodded, "That's what I mean. When the war is over, I will let you go home to mourn for three months. It will also save you from the trouble of the Censorate taking this matter to our monarch and ministers in the future."

Chen Xinyan bowed and said goodbye.
