Chapter 233 The old man knows how to irritate people
Ye Xuanke was tough for once: "Why not give it to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xuanke's hands were empty and the banknote had fallen into Song Yunxi's hands.
"Then I won't be polite."
Suddenly I realized that Ye Xuan Ke is a pretty good person.
Ye Xuan Ke brought back his side dish and sneered unhappily, "You speak as if you were being polite."
Watching the two people bickering, Ye Xuanqi just felt in a very good mood and relaxed for a rare time.
If you can live such a peaceful life forever, living in seclusion would be a good choice.
But he clearly knew that this kind of half-day of leisure was just his ideal. The reality was that he had to defy fate and completely change the outcome of the destruction of the Ye family, and spend his entire life ensuring that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
That night, Ye Xuanqi and Ye Xuanke both stayed in the Imperial Master's Mansion.
There were only bamboos planted in Qin Xubai's yard. Under the cold moonlight, the elegant young man playing the flute was dressed in white ivory and a long gown. The beautiful scenery did not seem like he was born in this mortal world.
No wonder people on Shengyun Mountain call him the Little Exiled Immortal.
Ye Xuanqi drank the plum blossom wine from Shengyun Mountain and praised with a smile: "No wonder Yunxi likes it."
Qin Xubai put away the bamboo flute: "You didn't come to my yard just to listen to the flute and drink!"
Ye Xuanqi did not hide it either: "Cousin, Uncle Tian told you about Yun Xi's rebirth, right?"
Qin Xubai agreed.
Ye Xuanqi's all-seeing eyes stared at Qin Xubai: "Cousin, does Yunxi have any other secrets?"
Qin Xubai paused while pouring the wine, but didn't say anything.
Ye Xuanqi continued, "I left Zhou Feng at the Jiang family tonight. He said that the valuables in the Jiang family's backyard warehouse disappeared out of thin air."
Among the three of them, only Song Yunxi left for a short time, but it was impossible for her alone to empty the Jiang family warehouse in such a short time.
In addition, she could always conjure up many things at will, which made Ye Xuanqi even more certain that she must have some unknown secrets.
Qin Xubai did not comment: "Since you have noticed it, then find it yourself, or..."
Qin Xubai paused evilly and said, "Maybe it depends on how important you are in Xiao Si's heart and whether she is willing to tell you."
Ye Xuanqi: "..."
So just because she doesn't say anything means that I have no weight in her heart, right?
As expected, it was his cousin who was the one who killed people and destroyed their hearts!
"It doesn't matter. I have a lifetime to wait."
Ye Xuanqi was unwilling to be outdone: "After all, Uncle Tian said that she and I are destined to be together."
Qin Xubai: “…”
roll!
So the cousins' rare short gathering ended in displeasure because Ye Xuanqi was determined to take advantage of others.
Just as Ye Xuanqi thought, the peaceful and leisurely life was only temporary. News came from the border that South Vietnam had been restless recently and had disturbed the peace of the border many times. In the court, the old general Pingnan took the initiative to ask for permission to lead the troops to fight again.
However, Emperor Qinglong did not give the old general a clear reply, and left General Pingnan behind when he left the court.
The atmosphere in the imperial study of Chongzheng Hall was heavy and depressing. Ye Xuanqi's group naturally advocated fighting against the provocation of Nanyue, and even Taifu Zhu and Prime Minister An thought the same.
"Your Majesty wants to make peace?"
Seeing that Emperor Qinglong was having difficulty making a decision for a long time, Grand Tutor Zhu felt depressed.
[No way, no way, this dog emperor is so cowardly? Is he planning to cede territory, pay compensation, or marry a princess to the emperor when he asks for peace?]
[It seems that the most common way to seek peace is to marry a princess. The only princesses who have reached the marriage age are the Seventh Princess and the Ninth Princess.]
[The bastard treats Ye Wenshan like a treasure, so he must be reluctant to let her go to marry. Then only You Ran is left. ]
[Ma Dan, if he dares to send Youran to marry, I will let the world know about the Green Grassland on his head, and then support the new emperor to take the throne! ]
Emperor Qinglong: The little girl just doesn’t think well of him as always.
At this time, Grand Tutor Zhu and Prime Minister An had already begun to think about how to make Ye Xuanqi's succession to the throne more legitimate.
Although it was sad to stand against his own student, he had no choice but to give up his teacher-student relationship for Jin'an.
Emperor Qinglong was now immune to Song Yunxi's rude words. He lamented pitifully, "I also want the old general to go to war, but...ah..."
puff!
Song Muxue, who listened carefully, almost vomited blood in anger.
[The old man knows how to irritate people. ]
Emperor Qinglong was very proud of himself for having pulled one back, and he performed even more vigorously, looking helpless and depressed.
[Tell me, can sighing bring forth flowers? ]
Emperor Qinglong: The little girl has a very quick temper.
Emperor Qinglong seemed to have found a way to punish Song Yunxi, and he was extremely happy.
But he was also afraid that if he continued pretending, Song Yunxi would be completely angry, and that would be counterproductive.
So he said bitterly, "It's not that I don't want to send troops, but the treasury is really empty. I really can't raise the necessary food and military supplies."
Everyone was silent because they all knew that what Emperor Qinglong said was the truth.
General Pingnan said without hesitation: "I am willing to spend all my wealth, please allow me to lead the troops to the battle!"
"I am also willing to spend all my wealth!"
Old Master Zhu and Prime Minister An said in unison.
[You are all clean-handed, how much wealth do you have? ]
The three civil and military ministers also understood that passion alone was not enough, as war required real money, but they were powerless.
[It's easy to ask for money. Aren't there many corrupt officials and bullies among your court officials? Catch them and fleece them. The money you fleece will be enough for you to fight in your next life.]
[The gold, silver and treasures collected by the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion were enough for General Zhenyuan to annihilate Northern Chu and General Dingguo to pacify Western Di, not to mention General Pingnan's expedition.]
[What a pity, what remained in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion was only the tip of the iceberg. I don't know who he gave the big head to. ]
Emperor Qinglong had a gloomy expression. He had heard from the fourth brother about the affairs of Jiang Yuhai and his son. They had been amassing wealth unscrupulously for decades, but the whereabouts of their staggering wealth was unknown.
If he hadn't promised the fourth brother to let him and the little girl solve this matter, he would have wanted to torture the father and son to death.
[Fortunately, I had the foresight to take over the treasury of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, so there is still more than enough money for General Pingnan to go on the expedition.]
Unlike the secret joy of the emperor and his ministers, Ye Xuanqi's doubts were finally confirmed. It turned out that she did have some unknown secrets.
Ye Xuanke's mentality collapsed: This little girl, she has taken over the warehouse of Marquis Zhongyong, and she still has the nerve to accept his banknotes.
Ye Xuan Ke only felt a dull pain in his heart.
No, it wasn't just heartache, he also felt physical pain.
So many banknotes! As a prince, he has never possessed so many at once!
Ye Xuanke wanted to cry.
He secretly hit his right hand: I told you to be cheap and I told you to be so generous!
