Chapter 55 Real Gold and Silver
"So, everyone has a chance?" Murong Shang pondered.
"No," Murong Mingzhu said seriously: "The Murong family has been opening up the northern trade route since four years, mainly for goods trafficking. My second brother knows best. How much silver has we thrown in over the years to achieve the current scale. To open a trade route, it must be paved with real money. How can ordinary merchants have this strength?"
"In short, there are indeed not many people in the world who have this strength, but the Murong family is not the only one."
Murong Shang calculated and pondered, "The Murong family in the imperial capital, the Feng family in Gusu, the Feng family in southern Yunnan, the Sheng family in Lingzhou, the Mu family in the coast of the East China Sea, the Zhuo family in the Yuancheng of Saibei, and the Gu family in Rongcheng of Bashu... There are many families with financial resources in Biyue."
However, because the Murong family and the Feng family were incompatible, the people in power were all women, so they were the most important ones.
The other families made a lot of money, and none of them were soft persimmons.
"Ye Zhilan said that His Majesty will announce it in fifteen days, and Zhu Si got the news early. I think other people will definitely get the news during this period."
After Murong Mingzhu said this, Lingmei's eyes flashed through her.
He looked up at Murong Shang, narrowed his bright eyes, "Fifteen days are enough for these people to enter the imperial capital."
Murong Shang thought for a moment and said softly: "Your Majesty is ten years old and will be able to rule in a few years. Is this a warning to King Yong?"
Is it a disguised warning to gather wealthy families in the world to gather together in the imperial capital instead of giving the trade routes directly to the Murong family?
"I don't know," Murong Mingzhu shook her head and said, "It's too early to say anything now, I can only wait fifteen days later."
Murong Shang nodded silently.
Murong Mingzhu stood up and said, "I'll go to Chengnan Business and have lunch outside at noon. Brother, don't wait for me."
"Mingzhu," Murong Shang suddenly called her, "I still haven't finished speaking."
"Hmm?" Murong Mingzhu turned her head and looked at Murong Shang.
Murong Shang looked at Murong Mingzhu, who was tall and graceful at the door, walked over and gently touched her head, "Mingzhu, if this is really a warning from His Majesty to King Yong... you should know what is behind this, right?"
“…”
Murong Mingzhu didn't say anything, but just looked at Murong Shang deeply with her eyes.
"After dad left, you were the one who supported the Murong family. We watched you leave little by little today. In fact, the Murong family has nothing to do. As long as we brothers and sisters are safe and sound, as long as you are well, this is much more important than having a wealthy daughter. We don't care about the Murong family's golden sign. We care about you the most. Do you understand what the second brother means?"
Murong Mingzhu's eyes lit up, "Second brother..."
Murong Shang smiled, "No matter what you want, your brothers are on your side, and the Murong family is always just a home."
Murong Mingzhu nodded, her heart felt slightly sour and softened.
Of course she understood what the second brother meant.
If Your Majesty is really warning Ye Zhilan, it only means that Your Majesty has begun to escape from Ye Zhilan's control and even listed Ye Zhilan as a powerful minister.
Wanting to get back his own rights from Ye Zhilan is equivalent to seeing Ye Zhilan as an enemy.
Once Your Majesty takes power in the future, Ye Zhilan, who once controlled the power, will fall into the quagmire. He may not end up well and may even die.
And the Murong family, which is closely related to him, will probably be implicated...
The second brother hopes that she can stay away from Ye Zhilan as soon as possible to ensure that the Murong family is not overwhelmed by the imperial power. At the same time, he is also hinting that if she really likes Ye Zhilan and makes up her mind to advance and retreat with Ye Zhilan, the Murong family will also be with her. Even if they lose their nobles and become poor in the future, they will never blame her for being brothers. As long as she is happy, they will be happy.
Will Ye Zhilan really lose his power?
Will such a person who is elegant in talking and laughing but has a ruthless method really fall from the clouds into the quagmire?
Night till the Lan...
"Miss, I'm at the business shop." Lu'e said softly in front of the sedan chair.
Murong Mingzhu quickly restrained all the feelings in her eyes, corrected her eyes, and lowered her head and got out of the sedan chair.
After Murong Mingzhu handled several things at the business bank, a servant ran in quickly, "Miss, go back quickly, the emperor is issued!"
After reading the accounts, Murong Mingzhu's eyebrows moved.
She returned to the Murong family and saw only an eunuch standing in the Murong family's main courtyard with a dozen Yulin soldiers. Murong Shang and the servants of the Murong family were already waiting.
When the eunuch saw her, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Murong, I am here to pass the oral orders on the emperor's order."
Murong Mingzhu gave a tribute, "Miang Mingzhu, listen to the sages."
"Your Majesty has an order to announce that Murong Mingzhu will enter the palace to meet immediately, and there must be no mistakes."
"The civilian girl obeys the order," Murong Mingzhu stood up and said, "Please wait, I'll go change my clothes."
"No, Miss Murong, Your Majesty is in a hurry to see you. It's urgent to wait for you. The carriage is waiting for you outside." The eunuch said helplessly.
"Since that's the case, Mingzhu, you go." Murong Shang said meaningfully, "Be careful."
"I understand." Murong Mingzhu nodded.
Murong Mingzhu only brought Lue'e and Danyi to the carriage in the palace.
The carriage walked all the way to the palace gate and changed into another palace sedan chair.
Murong Mingzhu sat in the palace sedan chair with her brows slightly frowned.
She had never seen the emperor before... but now there are fifteen days left before the commercial road is announced, why did the emperor want to see her?
Is it planning to test her or have another purpose?
Where is the night tide?
Where is he?
Did he know that he had entered the palace?
One by one, Murong Mingzhu is not afraid to meet the emperor, but she can’t guess what’s behind it, but since she has entered the palace, it doesn’t matter.
Take one step, look one step.
The palace sedan chair stopped in Zichen Hall, the eunuch lifted the curtain, and Murong Mingzhu walked down.
"Miss Murong, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, you have to go in by yourself."
The meaning of this is that Lue E Danyi cannot bring any of them in.
Murong Mingzhu said: "You are waiting for me here."
"Yes, Miss." Lu'e and Danyi lowered their heads.
Murong Mingzhu stepped into Zichen Hall.
Zichen Palace is the place where Emperor Jingtai studied today. Emperor Jingtai had not yet ruled, so he had to study here for a long time every day until he was sixteen years old.
Murong Mingzhu was taken into Zichen Hall by the eunuch, and the eunuch closed the door.
In the huge Zichen Hall, there were green jade screens on both sides, and in the middle was the dragon throne, with a person sitting on it. Apart from that, there was no one else in the Zichen Hall.
At least, there is no surface.
Murong Mingzhu calmly and bowed down to salute, "Michelle Murong Mingzhu met Your Majesty."
A pleasant voice sounded like pearls and jade, and it sounded in the palace, and the lingering sound lingered in the Liang Qingling.
