No wonder Queen Zhou’s expression was wrong, and no wonder Zhu Cixuan left this letter and refused to let others open it. The meaning of the letter was very obvious. Zhou Kui, the father-in-law, was not a thing of corruption and abuse of power, so it was right to make money from him.

The problem is that you can't let people know about this. Zhou Kui was guilty of death, so Chongzhen could only turn a blind eye. If he gets his money, he should not be punished. After all, that was the father of Empress Zhou.

This matter cannot be a big deal. It can only force Zhou Kui to pay the money again in the name of donating silver and helping the money. And it has to take the initiative to hand over it in front of all civil and military officials.

I guess Zhou Kui knew about this and had to find a stone to kill him. This nephew who cheated on his father was unambiguous when he cheated on his grandfather.

The angry Emperor Chongzhen lifted the table and kicked it. If Zhu Cilang was in front of him, he would have beaten the rebellious son to death. As a result, a letter made Emperor Chongzhen turn his anger into joy: "This, this queen, I have to thank you, thank the father-in-law. 500,000 taels, hahaha, 500,000 taels! With these 500,000 taels, I can breathe a sigh of relief."

The trembling palace people and Luo Yang's character kneeling on the ground were inexplicably confused. The emperor was so angry that he was stunned. He was furious and furious the moment before, but why did he smile in the blink of an eye?

Only Empress Zhou was mixed in her heart. On the one hand, if her father could give 500,000 taels of silver, it would have really solved the difficulties for the court. On the other hand, her father was actually greedy for so much, and as his daughter, Empress Zhou, was hurt in her heart.

Empress Zhou was born in a poor family and always maintained her true nature. She also had a deep friendship with Emperor Chongzhen. "The emperor valued the wise men of Zhou, and the couple was very kind."

At the same time, Empress Zhou was also arrogant. He often scolded his brothers and should not let them sway everywhere with the majesty of the royal relatives. Empress Zhou has always been strict with his mother's family.

But who would have thought that his father had made so much money on his back. The 800,000 taels donated to the court last time, Empress Zhou thought that his father had found out with conscience and did not scold him too much. Who knew that he had actually hidden so much money in private.

If Ci Yang had not found out in the Jinyiwei, his father would continue to be corrupt and sooner or later he would be ruined.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty, I am guilty..."

Chongzhen knew what Empress Zhou was going to say, but just smiled and went over to help her up: "You have no fault, I am a little anxious. The father-in-law is a little greedy. If he can stop the horse in time, it will be a wise choice. Luo Yangling."

Luo Yang, who was kneeling on the ground, looked confused, shivered and said, "I'm here."

Chongzhen was about to speak, but hesitated again as everyone in the Qianqing Palace, and then threw the letter in his hand to him: "Go as you believe, go back."

As the emperor's confidant, the Jinyiwei was to put it bluntly, they did what the Ming Dynasty law could not do. They could not do what they could not do on the surface. To put it bluntly, they were to wipe the emperor's butt.

Chongzhen didn't say anything, but just threw the letter from the prince to him. At this time, Luo Yangxing was well aware of the principle of being a minister, and Xin could not be seen seriously by Emperor Chongzhen. He immediately put the letter in his arms respectfully and kowtowed to Chongzhen: "I will leave."

The contents of the letter were so secret that even Wang Chengen, the personal eunuch around Chongzhen, didn't know. What the palace people only knew was that the emperor was no longer angry. In other words, it seemed that he was not that angry anymore.

"Empress, please go back to Ganning Palace first. I will go to you after I finish my government affairs later."

Empress Zhou knew that Chongzhen had a lot of work, and she was really a virtuous queen. She would never say much if she could not cause trouble to Chongzhen. She nodded immediately: "Your Majesty takes care of the dragon body, and you should not let Your Majesty be too busy. I have also surrendered. I cooked your Majesty's favorite sour plum soup and sent it to Your Majesty later."

Chongzhen nodded and suddenly felt better. When he thought of the rebellious son, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh and cry.

Queen Zhou, who left the Ganqing Palace Hall, couldn't help but turn around and felt relieved when she saw Chongzhen's laughter and crying look. It seemed that His Majesty was not angry with the emperor, but his father, alas, father...

Zhou Kui felt that he could not live his life. As the number one in the capital, he wanted to spend a penny in half and was cheated of a million taels of silver.

It hurts. Whenever Zhou Kui, who was lying on the kang, had an angina pectoris: "Hurry, hurry up, my soup girl, hand me my soup girl."

Soup is not an individual, but a special warm-keeping utensil, called "Shuopouzi", also known as "Madam Tin", "Shuopou", and "Foot Po", similar to a hot water bag. It is generally an ellipsoidal or pumpkin-shaped bottle made of tin or copper, with a hat on the top, pour hot water from this hole, and put it in a quilt before going to bed. This soup is not easy to damage, and most people will have it at home, and it will also be used as a gift item during marriage, and some soup can even be passed on to generations.

The servant hurriedly handed the copper hotpot over and Zhou Kui put it on his chest: "Oh, oh, my one million taels of silver, one million taels, woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo

"Don't be sad, you will make money if you lose money. If your body collapses, the pillars of this family will collapse." The servant advised him.

Zhou Kui looked desperate: "Liufu, my heart is so cool. One million taels of white silver, I'll be gone. I won't live anymore, I haven't paid this time!"

I can't remember how many times I cried, and the servant Liufu sighed. This has almost become Zhou Kui's lines for chanting scriptures every day. Zhou Kui can't recite the million taels of silver every day.

"My father-in-law, it's time to have a meal. Don't get tired of your body. The kitchen said that it was to cook bird's nest porridge for you. It was the eldest lady who ordered it, saying that it was to replenish your body. The villain came over and took a look." Liu Fu shook his head and said.

"What?" Zhou Kui stood up from the kang: "This prodigal woman, my husband has been plundered all the million taels of white silver. How dare she cook bird's nest porridge for me? How expensive is this bird's nest? What are the conditions for our family? It can be affordable. Quickly, retreat!"

Even though he has a wealth of wealth, Zhou Kui still has no penny. A bowl of bird's nest porridge can cost at least ten cents of silver. How could this miser Zhou Kui bear to bear it?

Bird's nest began in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the mainstream view is that bird's nest was brought back by Zheng He. "Yongxianzhai Notes" records that "the best one is as expensive as thirty or forty gold per kilogram." In other words, the best bird's nest is sold for thirty or forty taels of silver per kilogram.

"Then, father-in-law, what do you want to eat? I told the chef to do it." Liu Fu turned around and asked.
