Chapter 1286 Envy, Jealousy, Hate

Could Zhao Yuanjing not be angry?

These clan and royal relatives occupy positions and suck the blood of the people, and now they dare to force the emperor.

King Qin, who had been silent all this time, put down his teacup and said, "This old man, King Chun, probably thinks that the emperor is young and can be bullied. Since his grandfather's generation, the House of Internal Affairs has been in the hands of King Chun's. The purse is much bigger."

Yun Dai said: "Since that's the case, let's find a way to get the Ministry of Internal Affairs back."

"It's easier said than done." Zhao Shu said, "Their family has controlled the House of Internal Affairs for too long, and everyone from top to bottom belongs to them. If the emperor wants to come back, it's as difficult as going to heaven."

Yun Dai thought for a while, then said with a smile: "It's hard to think about it, but it's not hard to do it."

Zhao Yuanjing glanced at her and said, "The queen is right. I have ordered Jin Lan to check the accounts of the House of Internal Affairs. There should be news in the next few days."

"The empress dowager wants to build a summer resort, and she still owes Jiangnan 800,000 silver, what does the emperor plan to do?" Yun Dai asked.

Zhao Yuanjing spat out two words: "No money!"

Yun Dai laughed.

The summer resort is not a necessity, and it is nothing if it is not repaired for the time being.

At most the empress dowager is not happy.

As for the money owed to Jiangnan Weaving, it was all owed by the first emperor. Zhao Yuanjing would not admit it.

What's more, Jiangnan's weaving is not necessarily clean, and it is not known whether there is any activity with the Ministry of Internal Affairs in private.

"I'd like to see if these bullying slaves dare to come to me and ask for money from Jiangnan."

"Okay, don't be angry."

Seeing him like this, Yun Dai finds it both funny and distressing.

The emperor's own money bag was emptied by relatives, and the old grandmother couldn't afford the money to build a village.

She pinched the note from Dongchang and said, "Isn't there two million taels of silver sent back here? At least I should fill in the shortfall. Otherwise, it would be a mistake for Jin Lan to check the accounts."

Zhao Shu looked over: "What two million?"

"My lord, take a look too." Yun Dai handed the note to Liu Dequan, and Liu Dequan handed it to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu glanced at it, but said nothing.

Zhao Yuanjing asked: "Does the little emperor disagree with letting Northern Qi redeem people?"

"I feel that Yao Shuibi is good at poison, and if she is released, it will inevitably be a disaster." Zhao Shu said, "Of course, if she is exchanged for Canglan Town, I think it is worth it."

"It's definitely going to be changed." Yun Dai said, "As for Yao Shuibi..."

She smiled and said: "My lord, don't we have Miss Leng. She is Yao Shuibi's senior sister. If Yao Shuibi does something, how about asking Miss Leng for help?"

Zhao Shu smiled slightly: "It should be fine."

The matter of redemption is considered settled.

Zhao Yuanjing asked Tang Yuanyuan to send the reply to the Northern Qi royal family.

The two sides began to negotiate the date of the exchange.

Unexpectedly, the news was known by Hua Jinmo, so he immediately sent someone to tell him that he was willing to add another five hundred thousand taels so that the Queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty would hand over Yao Shuibi to him.

"Dai'er, take a look, the price has increased." Zhao Yuanjing showed the letter to Yun Dai.

"How much?"

"Five hundred thousand."

"A lot." Yun Dai stared at the letter for a while, "It's really rich. Envy, jealous, hate. But still can't agree."

"Why? I thought you were open to money."

"Business must be based on principles and a bottom line. We have already promised the Northern Qi royal family. If we go back on our promises, wouldn't it be too shameless." Yun Dai said, "As the queen of Da Zhou, I still want to save our Da Zhou some face. Five One hundred thousand taels... hey."
