- Hearing the emperor¡¯s question, Sikong Ji became very calm.
He shook his head, with a worried expression on his face, "Father, I suddenly thought of a problem and felt it was quite serious. I really couldn't sit still in the palace, so I hurried into the palace to seek confirmation from my father."
The emperor was stunned for a moment and asked: "What's the problem?"
Sikongji looked at him and asked very directly: "Is the treasury empty? Are you very poor now?"
¡°Cough cough cough!!!¡±
The emperor suddenly coughed violently.
Eunuch Hu was immediately a little embarrassed. Your Majesty King Jin, you are not opening any pots, don¡¯t you want to lose face, Your Majesty?
He hurried over to help the emperor pat his back to calm him down.
The emperor finally calmed down, glared at him, and scolded: "Mustache, I'm so thirsty, why don't you pour me some tea?"
"Yes, it's my fault. Your Majesty, I'll forgive you. I'll go get some tea right now."
Of course Eunuch Hu can only take the blame.
The emperor sat upright with a very majestic look. He looked at Sikong Ji and his tone was also very majestic.
"Xiao Liu, aren't you just fooling around? Are you rushing into the palace just because of such a ridiculous question?"
"Is this question ridiculous?" Sikong Ji looked innocent, "Isn't it true that if the national treasury is not empty, my father, you, are not poor?"
The emperor¡¯s temples twitched.
Could you please stop saying the word "poor" to him all the time? His ears are allergic to this word!
"Who told you? Although Dazhen has had poor national fortunes in recent years and has become weaker, Dazhen is still Dazhen. In the future, Dazhen will still show her grace and stand tall in the world."
After the emperor said these words, he was a little excited, and his face turned a little red.
Sikongji glanced at him, his expression unchanged, "Oh, in that case, I won't mention the method I thought of. I originally wanted to see if I could help fill the treasury and make my father happy."
He said as he prepared to bow down and leave.
"Xiao Liu, wait a moment!"
The emperor woke up with a jolt and quickly called him to a stop.
Sikong Ji stopped and turned around again, a little puzzled, "Father, is there anything else?"
"You just said, what solution did you come up with?" the emperor asked cautiously.
"This is a way to collect some money for the treasury. But didn't my father say that you are not short of money? Since you are not short of money, then this is not a good idea. It is better for me not to mention it less."
"Since you have thought of a solution and entered the palace, and now you are standing in front of me, let's talk and listen!" The emperor tried hard to stay calm, as if he just didn't want him to go to the palace in vain, and said I don¡¯t really want to listen to his solution. "Say it."
"Then if this method is somewhat ill-considered, can the father pardon his son and his ministers' innocence?"
"Not guilty, not guilty, just saying it and hearing it. I won't punish you just like this. No matter what, you are of the same mind."
"That's what I said." Sikong Ji coughed and walked to the chair next to him to sit down.
The emperor looked at him closely.
Sikong Ji didn't hold back and said directly: "It's like this. When I was in the Lan Kingdom, didn't I see the tribute from Dazhen to the Lan Kingdom every New Year? In addition to the tribute from my father, there were also Someone else in Dazhen sent a new year's gift to some of the powerful royal family members and nobles of the Lan Kingdom. Sometimes those people would go out of their way to show off in front of the ministers and say to the ministers, "Look, you are so big." These rich people, holding gold and silver mountains in their hands, did not even think about giving gifts to your emperor. Instead, they sent people all the way to give us gifts! It is really difficult for these people. To be reliable, you have to go to Lan Country to seek support."
As soon as the emperor heard this, a burst of blood rushed to the top of his head, burning his eyes red.
This is simply an insult to him and to the Dazhen royal family!
Is that really the case?
He is a majestic emperor, but the treasury is running out of money. The rich people under his rule are still sitting on mountains of gold and silver, and they still have money to send to others all the way?
¡°I didn¡¯t believe it at the time either.¡±
Sikong Ji sighed and continued, "But at that time, someone brought a few colored glaze lamps to show me. The words "Zhen Chen" were printed on the bottom of the colored glaze lamps.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The Chen family, the richest man in the capital of Dazhen, is famous for its colored glaze workshop. The colored glaze products produced by the Chen family are very exquisite.??, the purity is also high, and the color is very bright, and there are many types of glass products, including vases, jewelry, window tiles, and various plates, bowls, and wine cups. Among them, the most famous glass lamp is because of its exquisite shape. When filled with wine, it will set off with the wine. When drinking under the moonlight, it always triggers poets to write poems. Therefore, the price of the glass lamp is very high.
The Chen family belongs to Dazhen, so the Emperor gave their family a nickname, Zhenchen. Not all Liulicang products can be stamped with the inscription Zhenchen, but only those that are of the highest quality and reach the level of tribute treasures can be stamped with the inscription Zhenchen.
But these treasures, in recent years, the emperor has issued oral instructions, and some of them will be brought to the palace as tribute in the future.
Because he is useful. Sometimes if he really couldn't find anything else to pay tribute to the Lan Kingdom, he could still get a few glazed lamps to top up the amount.
¡°But now Sikong Ji told him that he had already secretly sent a lot of gifts to Lan Country?
"Is it really stamped with the signature Zhenchen?" The emperor felt that he could hardly suppress his anger now.
"Seriously, they brought it in front of me to deliberately humiliate me. Of course they wouldn't bring other ordinary things."
"Then do you remember anything from other families?"
"I was still young at the time and didn't have enough knowledge. If other things didn't have obvious marks, I wouldn't be able to tell if they were Dazhen's things." Sikong Ji said.
The emperor had a sullen face, was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "That's true."
Eunuch Hu put the tea cup in front of him. The emperor thought for a while and said to him: "Moustache, go check it out. In the past few years, the Chen family has sent glazed tea cups to the palace."
"yes."
Seeing that the emperor was clearly eager to know the results, Eunuch Hu did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went to check the records in the warehouse.
Sikongji was not in a hurry and was just waiting here.
It was not difficult to check. Soon, Eunuch Hu came back holding the booklet.
He first glanced at King Jin, then held the booklet in both hands and sent it to the emperor, "Back to the emperor, the most recent tribute of the Chen family to the glass lamp was three years ago."
The emperor flipped through the book.
Sure enough, I saw the record from only three years ago, and the Chen family only sent twelve lamps to the palace that time!
The emperor¡¯s heart sank, and he asked Sikongji: ¡°How many glazed lamps did those people from the Lan Kingdom show you at that time?¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
