Chapter 464

The Fourth Prince fiercely stepped forward, glaring at She Ninghua with eyes full of monstrous rage, “Empress Dowager, without proof, what gives you the right to treat us like this?”

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, hiding away the coldness under her eyes, with a hint of doubt on her face, “How do you listen to the Fourth Prince’s words that seem to have the intention of anger, I am protecting you, you see so many people have died in the Fourth Prince’s Mansion, and when the Palace has not found the real culprit behind the scenes, who knows if there will still be people who will lay hands on the Fourth Prince’s Mansion? That’s why I had to send soldiers to protect it in advance, and when this palace catches the real culprit, it will naturally remove the manpower to protect it.”

Good, good Shen Ninghua! She said before that she had not found evidence and could not be sure that he was instructing people to spread rumors, in order to leave a backhand for this move. If she is directly to dispose of them, he has a good excuse to prove his innocence, but instead can bite back and say Shen Ningshu is excluding dissenters and plotting against the royal family. But she preferred not to pursue their charges and only said protection.

Protection? Baili Jinjing face skin trembling, said too good, clearly is house arrest! He also said that as long as the investigation is clear, the manpower will be removed. Doesn’t it mean that if Shen Ningshu can’t find out clearly, they will have to accept the house arrest for one day?

“Empress, now that the country is in trouble, how can this king sit back and do nothing …”

Shen Ninghua coldly interrupted him, “The fourth prince is dedicated to the people, this palace is deeply gratified, now the urgent need is the lack of food, the prince’s residence certainly does not have any stock of food, but donate a portion of the silver out of the country can also be able to solve the national crisis, this way, this palace first take the lead, donate half a million taels of silver, for the purchase of food to provide relief to the people, the fourth prince and the princes are prepared to donate How much?”

Baili Jinjing was a meal snatch white, face a burst of red a burst of green extraordinarily wonderful, “You …”

Baili Jinze, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward and saluted, directly stating his attitude, “Empress Mother, this king’s family property is not abundant, nor is he good at financial management, so he can only donate 300,000 taels of silver to solve the pressing problem.”

“Good, this palace will report this matter to the Emperor, and ask the Emperor himself to issue an imperial decree to proclaim Prince De’s merit to the people of the world.”

Baili Jinjing glared at Baili Jinze, hating to pluck off a piece of meat from his body, he had been silent since he came to the court, it turned out that he was waiting here, three hundred thousand taels, that’s three hundred thousand taels ah, with this three hundred thousand taels, how many staffs could he raise, how much power could he cultivate?

Shen Ninghua looked at the Third and Fourth Princes, “What about the two princes, Prince De donated 300,000 taels, how many ten thousand taels are you preparing?”

“We don’t have much silver in our hands …”

Shen Ninghua pulled out two pieces of paper from the side, roughly swept through a glance, “The Third Prince has about fifteen stores in Kyoto, although not every profit is the same, but on average, the annual profit is enough for one hundred thousand taels of silver, the least of these stores have been operating for five years, plus the income from the hot springs manor, the Father’s original rewards, the filial piety of the various places that were presented to him …”

“Then this king will also donate three hundred thousand taels!” The Third Prince spoke through gritted teeth, as if someone was cutting his flesh and blood, Shen Ninghua had actually investigated his estate so clearly!

Shen Ninghua stopped talking and looked at the Fourth Prince with a smile, “Brothers are united, their profits break the gold, I think the Fourth Prince is worried about the country and the people, and will definitely donate 300,000 taels, right?”

“Uh-huh.” Baili Jinjing nodded coldly, his face darkening completely.

Shen Ninghua rose and said in a raised voice, “Good, the three princes are worthy of being an example to the court.”

“Following the example of the Empress and the three princes, I am willing to donate five thousand taels.”

“I donate 3,000 taels …”

The newly promoted officials have expressed their support for the Empress, and the old school officials almost cried out on the spot. Many of them had been raided once before, and then repeatedly punished, and now they really don’t have any extra silver at home, but if they don’t donate, and this matter spreads out, the prestige of the newly promoted officials in the hearts of the people will deaden them, and then, Baili Junyi will have an excuse to come back to clean up after them directly!

“I am willing to donate 5,000 taels … “Go home and sell some of the antiques.

“I donate 2,000 taels … “Go back and borrow some from your in-laws …

Shen Ninghua had people write down the names of the officials and the silver donations, and in the end a check was made to raise one million six hundred thousand taels!

“This palace will have this court meeting written down and posted in the middle of Kyoto for the people to see. Dragon Scale Army, why don’t you escort the several princes and subjects back?”

The third prince and the fourth prince incredulously stared at Shen Ninghua, almost fainted on the spot angry, originally thought that that threatened them to let them outwardly take silver, did not expect to take the silver but also to be under house arrest, Shen Ninghua this is to set up a set to let them intentionally to drill ah! This bitch!

Many newly promoted officials lowered their heads, slightly hooked their lips, and sighed in their hearts: the Empress Mother is saintly!

The Dragon Scale Army didn’t hesitate this time, and directly stepped forward to encircle the few people that Shen Ninghua had ordered, escorting them right out.

Purpose reached, Shen Ninghua color a loose, convergence of the corner of the eyes and eyebrows of a trace of sharp color, “Retreat.”

Northwest border, the army of Great Yue did not give Baili Junyi much time to recuperate, on the second day of his arrival in Suicheng, the army pressed the border, leading the generals in front of the city to clamor, saying that let Baili Junyi out of the city to surrender, and then abolish the Queen of the Shen Ningshua, the two countries will be able to negotiate peace.

Ignoring the many generals, Baili Junyi personally went up to the city tower and drew his bow to put an arrow through the heart of the clamoring general of the Great Yue Country! The soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom were so shocked that they retreated backward by a hundred meters.

Baili Junyi narrowed his eyes, looking at the black pressurized piece of enemy troops underneath the city, even if the other party has now captured the seven cities of the Great Yue Country, threatening the Suicheng City where he is located, there is not the slightest bit of fear in the bottom of his eyes, he looked at the enemy generals who had fallen down from their horses, and used his internal power to spread his voice, “A mere pawn, what is the qualification to speak with me, let your king come over, no, let your queen come over. Her words work better!”

The faces of the following Dai Yue generals were dark and heavy: Baili Junyi’s words were clearly satirizing the fact that their Dai Yue country’s ruler was weak and then strong!

Han Qi beside Baili Junyi laughed out loud and pointed at the generals below and started cursing, “Pawns of the Great Yue Country, when you are defeated by us, don’t be afraid to let your mothers-in-law come to avenge you, they are much more powerful than you can be.”

“Shameless child, how dare you disrespect my Great Yue Kingdom like this.”

“Aigoo, to speak the truth is to disrespect you guys, you guys are really too well protected by your own mother-in-law, so fragile and unbearable.” Han Qi laughed even more freely.

His side of the vice general and a lot of generals have red face, their this general is famous rolling knife meat, nicknamed Han Shuaipi, on the field to lead the troops in the front, the enemy’s knife cut to the front are not afraid, but on weekdays is a rogue nature, especially in front of the enemy, if the nature of the small, directly to the gas spit blood. Now there is the Emperor, General Han has converged a lot, but still feel ashamed ah!

Baili Junyi couldn’t help but smile, most of the military generals were unconventional, Han Qi’s personality was much more likeable than those civil ministers in the dynasty.

Soon, there was a summoning officer who transmitted the words of Baili Junyi and Han Qi to Empress Jin’s tent in the Great Yue Country. Jin’s eyes were cold, and a strong displeasure flashed around her body, “Originally, I thought that Baili Junyi was able to stand out amongst the many princes competing for the title, so there must be something special about him, but now that I’ve seen it, it’s nothing more than that.”

Snuggling beside her, Bu Yonghan looked at the content on the paper and couldn’t help but be furious, “Mother, that Baili Junyi is clearly insulting you and Father, now that the army of my Great Yue country is like a bamboo, why don’t we just directly wield our troops in a strong attack, break Suicheng and take down Baili Junyi, and see what arrogance they take again in the Great Yue country.”

On the side, Bu Jinglan’s eyebrows twitched as he lowered his head in silence.

Jin threw the note into the fire pit to the side, “In matters of war, there can be no hurry.”

“Mother, my Great Yue Kingdom has a strong army, Suicheng, although there is that general Han Shoupi, has long been short of food and grass, what is there to be afraid of?” Bu Yonghan pulled Jin’s sleeve and pouted, her demeanor was full of little girl feelings.

Jin helped her straighten the gold hairpin on her head and laughed, “The war between two countries is not a child’s play, the reason we took the seven cities so easily before is because six of them were sent to Da An Kingdom as a dowry for you, and the cities were easier because they had our receivers, as you can see, it took nearly half a month to take down Qingcheng, and this Suicheng has Baili Junyi sitting on it. The military is solid and the people are unruly, making it even more difficult to deal with.”

“Mother, you’re not afraid of that Baili Junyi since you’re not afraid of anything, and you’re even more talented in leading an army!”

Jin’s brow furrowed, “Yonghan, your father is the real person in charge, mother is just assisting from the sidelines, how can she call herself a great talent?”

Bu Yonghan’s face changed and he quickly admitted his mistake, “Yes, my son was just too angry at seeing Baili Junyi’s words, and only for a moment did he speak out of turn, please forgive me, Empress Mother.”

Jin controlled most of the rights of the Great Yue State, but never allowed anyone to say the Emperor of the Great Yue State is not, and even in front of the Emperor to show extraordinarily obedient, which is also the reason why the Emperor always trust her, “Well, your father’s health in recent days, the Palace to personally do some meals to send to him, you guys go down first, ordered to go down so that the soldiers do not see the broken to go and harass the Sui City, don’t attack strongly, just let them have no peace.”

“Yes.”

The soldiers of the Great Yue Country kept going up and shouting, and from time to time, a few cold arrows were shot up, if the Suicheng army counterattacked, they immediately retreated, if they didn’t counterattack, they would directly go up and make an attack on the city.

Baili Junyi looked at the soldiers underneath and couldn’t help but let out a cold smile, “Ye Yi, order the secret guards to prepare.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

With a wave of Ye Yi’s hand, an unusually silent team quickly stepped forward and took out a large bow in unison, which was wider than an unusual human bow and arrow, and the bowstring was thicker as well. Only to see them when the Great Yue soldiers feinted again to two hundred meters below the city, they fiercely drew their bows and arrows, and shot at them.

Han Qi froze, frowning, “This distance is a bit far, I am afraid that I can not shoot … in!”

The city cheered, looking at the dark guards team with eyes full of admiration, that’s a distance of nearly two hundred meters ah, to be able to shoot that far, just how much strength?
