C19 Beijing

Compared to the undercurrents of Cangdale, the capital was much calmer at this moment. After all, the main thing at the moment was to solve the problem of the border war. However, the royal Leng family and the Su family still had a lot of connections, so it was inevitable that the emperor would care more about it.

On the other side, the emperor, Leng Shi, had already received the memorial for Su Lingyou's resignation. Originally, he had also arranged for people to be sent over to the Cangdale, but he did not expect Su Lingyou to send people over even faster. However, Leng Shi did not know that the people he sent were also on their way back.

Looking at the memorial that Su Lingyou presented, Leng Shi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He clearly said that he was getting better a few days ago, why did he get sick again? From the looks of it, it seemed to be a masterpiece. No matter what, he had watched Su Lingyou grow up. As an emperor, suspicion was unavoidable. However, when it really came to this point, it was hard to avoid falling in love. In addition, the memorial written by Su Lingyou was too tearjerking.

The Lanshore's military salary and food were the earliest to be submitted, and it was even a little more than the stipulated amount. At that time, the emperor was still quite satisfied. Originally, he had heard that Su Lingyou had just recovered from a serious illness, but in the end, his efficiency was still so high. He originally wanted to reward the Su family after the war ended, but in the end, such a thing happened.

However, he just sighed and remained indifferent. So, the king sent someone to call in all the ministers of the Imperial Court. Because of the war, the important ministers of the Imperial Court would take turns to work in the palace.

Hearing the Emperor finish speaking about Su Lingyou, the few ministers felt their hearts ache. Now that the six ministers in the court were on good terms with Su Lingyou's father, they were naturally sad to hear this news.

But no matter how uncomfortable he felt, someone had to take Su Lingyou's place. The emperor had called them in to discuss this matter.

"Nephew Lingyou's misfortune grieves me. But the position of investigating censor in the Lanshore is not something that an ordinary person can hold. In my humble opinion..."

The Ministry of Revenue official rolled his eyes when the Ministry of Rites official opened his mouth. It was true that the Ministry of Rites official was sad, and it was also true that the person who wanted to recommend him was real. After all, the Lanshore was only second to the capital in Qi Country. There were also a lot of benefits to be gained.

"Lord Zhang..."

The Minister of Law had always been unconvinced by the Minister of Rites, so he couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw him only recommending his own people. [Since you can recommend me, so can I.] The Minister of Law recommended his nephew. The Minister of Law didn't have a son. He treated his nephew like his own son. Although he could not compare to Su Lingyou, he was still a dragon among men.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, the Minister of Works had no choice but to mediate.

"I wonder how Your Majesty is going to appease Lord Su's sister and daughter?"

Leng Shi hadn't thought of this yet. After all, the memorial mentioned that the Su family was about to sell their properties and donate all of them to the national treasury. At that time, the Su family would have to give an explanation.

"Haven't I thought of this question yet?"

The Minister of Works had successfully changed the topic, but he left another problem. He didn't want others to be jealous of him. However, it couldn't be too light either. After all, the Su family had made great contributions to the entire Qi Country. This time, they had almost donated their entire family fortune. If he didn't take good care of the remaining women of the Su Family, he would be laughed at by everyone in the world.

"Then, my dear ministers, do you have any good suggestions?"

"My humble opinion is that why don't you confer her sister the title of Princess?"

When the Ministry of Revenue official said this, the room instantly quieted down. This reward wasn't small. However, the Su family was worthy of such a reward. The Emperor hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately. However, he already knew in his heart.

"As for the candidates for investigating censor and Governor of Cangdale in Lanshore, if any of you have any candidates, please hand in the memorial. As for the reward from the Su family, I will think about it again. Chen Aiqing, Lingyou is going to donate something to the treasury. Send someone to make a trip. By the way, let's see what the situation is like now. "

" Yes. "

Lord Chen from Ministry of Revenue knew that this matter was naturally not a small matter, so he naturally couldn't casually send people over. But since he wanted to recommend someone, he might as well go with the flow... The few ministers left. They were naturally very sad about Su Lingyou's matter, but it gave them some chances. This was how officialdom was. Benefits were often more important than relationships.

In the Imperial Study Room, there was only the Emperor left. The recent events had given him a headache. He had even sent out the servants. He didn't know when the king started to feel powerless. The national treasury was empty, and the border war...

"Wait, the national treasury?"

Leng Shi suddenly thought of the real point of the memorial just now. Resignation was one thing, but how much property would the Su family donate to the national treasury? Even if he was the king of Qi Country, he couldn't calm down at this moment. Leng Shi knew Su Lingyou quite well, so he looked at the memorial again. Although it was still very tearjerking, Leng Shi still noticed the main point that Su Lingyou had vaguely mentioned in the memorial. He did a simple calculation. Just the Su family's wealth alone was enough to temporarily put off the urgent matter at the border. If those properties were really sold, then...

Thinking of this, the Emperor suddenly felt a little guilty towards the Su family. Leng Shi felt that there was nothing to hesitate about when he suggested conferring Su Ziwan the title of princess.

As for who would take over Su Lingyou's position, that was a matter for the future. To Qi Country, which was in the middle of a war, this wealth was no different from rain from the sky. Thinking of this, Leng Shi suddenly laughed.

When the attendant at the door heard the emperor's laughter, he also felt relaxed. These days, all the servants in the palace were nervous. Because of what happened at the border, even Leng Shi, who had a good temper, was furious.

After calming down, Leng Shi returned to the harem and looked for the Empress to discuss this matter. Although the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, the Empress was still the Empress after all. Her mother's family also had quite a few powers in the imperial court, so it was naturally different.

Furthermore, there were rumors in the palace that the Emperor and Empress had liked each other since they were young.

"The Emperor is here. Why do I feel that the Emperor is very happy today?"

Leng Shi was not in a hurry to speak. He sat down and took a sip of tea. Then, he slowly told the Empress about this matter. When it came to emotions, even the Empress shed a few tears.

"If Your Majesty wants to confer the title of Princess, then so be it. I'll just treat it as having another daughter. At that time, I'll bring them into the palace for a few days so that they can be with our daughter."

" Since the Empress has no objections, then I will arrange for someone to do it tomorrow. "

"Your Majesty's idea is great..."

The queen loved her daughter very much. She was so happy that she could have another daughter. However, the first half of her daughter's life was too miserable.
