If Emperor Chongzhen didn't know about Empress Zhou, he might be surprised for a while when he heard that Zhou Kui not only paid the money so quickly, but also had more money.

But now he knew that Zhou Kui had cheated money from his daughter, so he was not surprised that much of this was given by Queen Zhou.

This old guy probably knew that he was a little unreasonable to give him 1,500 taels of silver, so he came to cheat his daughter and hand over more so that he could get over with face. It was also considered fooling me! Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his mind, and asked casually: "How many have he paid in total?"

Queen Zhou looked at him, but she knew how much money her father would pay, thinking that she could pay for His Majesty.

"Go back to Master, in addition to the 1,500 taels of promise to give, Jiading added another 500 taels, totaling 2,000 taels of silver!" Xu Gao was still a little angry when he said this.

For someone like Jiading Bo, he squeezed out two thousand taels in the end. Seeing him like that just now, it seemed quite amazing. Haha, I bah!

"What?" Queen Zhou couldn't help but ask, "How many?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned to look at her and shouted coldly: "How much is the jewelry you gave him?"

After hearing this, Empress Zhou turned around and looked at him, with a little hesitation in her expression and did not answer immediately.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he frowned and shouted sternly: "Don't deceive me!"

"It's worth at least 5,000 taels!" Empress Zhou saw that Emperor Chongzhen was angry, so she did not hesitate anymore and replied bitterly.

Xu Gao's answer just now, she had actually heard it clearly, but she just couldn't believe it.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard her reply, he couldn't help but sneer, obviously very angry.

After a while, he said in a cold tone: "It's really a good plan. I went to the palace and I had to go five thousand taels, but I turned around but only paid two thousand taels, and I also made a net profit of three thousand taels. Not bad, not bad..."

Faced with this situation, Empress Zhou was speechless. If her father had said that he was nervous before and she still believed it, the matter would be unexplained in any case.

Thinking of this, even if she has a good temper, she is still angry. She asked Xu Gao angrily: "Where are others?"

Obviously, she was going to question her father. Her parents' face would be completely discarded by her father. If this matter was spread, it would be difficult for her to look up in the palace in the future.

"Bo Jiading said that it is the duty to hand over the silver to your Majesty for emergency treatment. He doesn't need an IOU or something. He has already returned to Jiading's Mansion."

Xu Gao's answer was like a slap, hitting Queen Zhou.

She really didn't expect that her father would be so shameless! She suddenly felt that her eyes turned black, her legs and feet became weak, and she fell backwards.

Emperor Chongzhen was right next to her. Seeing this, he hurriedly supported her and asked a little worriedly: "How is it? Hurry up, pass it on to the Imperial Doctor!"

Xu Gao was also shocked and turned around and left.

"No, no need to pass on the imperial physician." Queen Zhou came to her senses and said a little sadly, "I'm fine, you go down!"

After hearing this, Xu Gao looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and saw him nodding, he bowed and retreated.

As soon as Empress Zhou left, she suddenly knelt down to Emperor Chongzhen, lowered her head and said, "I...I'm sorry to Your Majesty..."

"Where is this?" Emperor Chongzhen heard this, and he quickly leaned over and helped her up and said, "He is him, you are you, it's not your business. But you don't ask for love. In the face of national crisis, he dares to do this. I must be punished."

Empress Zhou was speechless when she heard this. To be honest, she was a little ashamed to be unable to get along with Emperor Chongzhen at this time. Her mind was full of her father's affairs, so she still remembered that she wanted to meet that strange gentleman, and said goodbye to Emperor Chongzhen with a quiet expression and went back.

It can be said that the person who suffered the most in this matter was actually Queen Zhou. From this moment on, she was really desperate by her father: there were such people in the world who could not distinguish between right and wrong!

However, Zhou Kui didn't think so. At this time, after returning to his house, he immediately held a banquet to celebrate.

"Dad, I'll give you a drink!" Zhou Bi'an smiled and then drank it all in one go.

Putting the wine glass on the table, he said again: "Dad is still great. Just by entering the palace, he earned more than 3,000 taels of silver! You can buy many shops."

Zhou Kui smiled proudly and said, "Haha, that's it, it's much easier than going outside to cheat someone else's shop!"

"Dad, you're a little ugly. It's all someone else's filial piety to your son!" Zhou Bi'an answered a little dissatisfied when he heard this. But then he remembered that he had an extra 3,000 taels of silver, and his mood immediately got better and he quickly flattered his father.

The two of them didn't worry at all, what should the emperor do if he had no money to train soldiers? What should he do if the situation in the Ming Dynasty is so bad? What would the queen do if he finds out in the future? Or, they only care about their own acre of three-point land at all, and they would think so much!

Compared to their father and son, some people think too much.

Look, the ministers were discussing matters in the cabinet. The emperor issued an order to ask them to discuss the specific charter, but they did not see them discussing this, but were all concerned about other things.

"Who is the one wearing python uniform in Wenhua Hall today? You Silis Officer can't hear any news?"

"Yes, it seems that his Majesty is trusted. Who is this person? Why have you never seen or heard of it before?"

“…”

In fact, these eunuchs who were in charge of the rituals were also puzzled!

Overnight, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor was replaced, and Wang Dehua and his godsons were all in prison. Wang Chengen, the newly appointed eunuch in charge of the seal, did not even come to discuss matters in the Wenhua Palace and was busy with other things. To be honest, they were also worried, wonder if this storm in the palace would affect them?

They just knew about the matter about that gentleman, and they appeared in the palace yesterday. As for more specific news, they didn't know, they only knew that the new eunuch, the chief eunuch, also respected this person very much.

At this time, the civil officials of the Foreign Court asked them about the situation, but they couldn't answer at all. At most, they could tell them that the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor had replaced the people. They even hoped that the Foreign Court could tell them about the origin of the man so that they could still manage what happened in the palace!

While they were making a fuss, Wang Chengen suddenly appeared at the door and shouted coldly: "Why, the errands assigned by the emperor have been done? Then transfer them to our family for the imperial view!"

When he heard this, the cabinet suddenly became quiet.

It has to be said that the power of the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor is still very high. You should know that the power of the cabinet is to vote. If there is no VIP red, then nothing will be. Even if the Sili Supervisor thinks that there is something wrong with the vote and is not satisfied, it can also be returned to the cabinet to vote again.

Of course, if the cabinet is strong, you can also go directly to the emperor and make a decision. But from the normal process, the cabinet is actually dealing with the Sili Supervisor.

This is also the reason. When Wang Dehua served as the eunuch in charge of the seal and the admiral of the East Factory, countless people gave him gifts.

"Don't inquire about things that shouldn't be asked about." Wang Chengen walked coldly to the eunuch Bingbi, and said coldly, "Are you idle? Remember the errands that the emperor assigned. This is what you should do."

After the training came here, he suddenly turned to look at the chief assistant Zhou Yanru, and asked with a smile: "The chief assistant thinks we are right?"

The weather in the capital in March was still a bit cold, and it even reached the hearts of these senior Ming officials.

The attitude of the new eunuch in charge of the seal and the admiral of the East Factory made them feel that there seemed to be a storm coming in the court.
