Chapter 607

Yuan Zhi took out five pieces of silver and handed it to the old man who sold lanterns. The old man rubbed his hands nervously: "senior official, you No copper money? How can I find such a large sum of silver? "

Yuan Zhi was easygoing and said with a smile: "take it, it's only five silver coins. Don't you change it. Your lantern is so exquisite that it is worth the price

Murong Zhining repeatedly looked back at the old man who sold lanterns, and said anxiously: "it turns out that in their eyes, a few silver coins are a lot of money! Are the people of SHANGXIA so poor? "

Yuan Zhi chuckled mildly: "it doesn't mean that they are poor. It can only be said that the prices in SHANGXIA are very stable. Even if ordinary people don't have a lot of silver, they can make money to support their families with small crafts. How much money do you think is poor? How much money can be considered rich? There is no standard in the world. You are a wise emperor. You often draw money from the Treasury to improve the facilities in Nanjin city. I have confidence in you that the people of Shang and Xia will lead a prosperous life under your leadership. "

Murong Zhining looked sideways at Yuanzhi, and his eyes were full of gratitude: "thank you, master Tuoba! I don't know for a moment whether I am the emperor of Shang and Xia, or the little lady who didn't have a city in the first place! "

Yuan Zhi made no secret of his love in his eyes: "no one is like you. He is not only the emperor of Weijia, but also a gentle and lovely little lady."

Murong Zhining reached for Yuan Zhi's hand and said, "why don't you marry me? You always mind my past experience, don't you? "

Yuan Zhi's eyes were dim: "if I don't want to marry you, I don't believe it myself! Ning'er, didn't I say that? It's not too late to marry each other for five years

Murong Zhining looked up at Yuanzhi, and her eyes flashed with tears: "Tuoba childe, thank you for letting me have a happy day today! I feel as if with the reversal of time, back to three years ago. However, I still wake up from my dream. I can't change the past, nor can I change you

Yuan Zhi's eyes have a kind of pain that is not understood: "Ning'er, I'm sorry! I really can't marry you now... "

Murong Zhining nodded and laughed: "we have promised each other, will not give each other pressure, I will not put in the heart, all with fate! After coming out all day today, manager Fei and Ximei should be worried, and I should go back to the palace! "

Yuan Zhi stretched out his hand and pulled Murong Zhining's hands: "Ning'er, I have made you happy all day, but at the last minute, I'm on the verge of success! I always make you sad, how can I be with you? I'll take you back to the palace

Murong Zhining's eyes floating with a layer of tears: "you don't say so, I have not tasted the taste of happiness for a long time, really thank you! Mr. Yuan, you don't have to blame yourself. I know the problem lies in me! "

Yuan Zhi frowned sadly: "no It's not your problem anymore! It's my own lack of confidence and courage. Please forgive me for my weakness

Murong Zhining threw the lantern in her hand. She bravely held Yuan Zhi's neck and stood on tiptoe to kiss his lips: "I have never been so resolute! Yuanzhi, I really want to marry you. I didn't take you as a healing tool. You opened my heart step by step... "

Yuan Zhi Leng for a moment, unable to help but hold Murong Zhining, bow head gently respond. After a while, he pushed Murong Zhining away: "no Ning'er, don't do this. If you do this again, I'll have to escape to the empty door Sorry, I shouldn't have provoked you I mean Let's wait a few more years! " His flustered face was full of guilt.

Murong Zhining gently comforted: "sorry, I let you feel the pressure! Everything is up to you. You say wait a few years, just wait a few years! "

At the gate of sangrou palace, Yuan Zhigang helps Murong Zhining down from the sedan chariot. Fei Fei and Xi Mei greet each other in the courtyard and kneel on the ground.

Fei Fei choked with indignation: "the Emperor Where are you going to be free? I dare not stop you, but do you want to inform me? Quietly run out of the palace, in case of knock touch, the slave's head will not be protected! Mr. Yuan, you too Haven't you always been very solemn? Why do you follow the emperor

Murong Zhining helped Fei Fei to get up: "I'm with Mr. Yuan. Don't you worry? I just don't want to sneak out of the palace to relax and relax just like a prisoner. Isn't it coming back? "

Yuan Zhi looked at Xi Mei: "didn't I tell you? I want you to tell the manager fee to rest assured. What do you think you have done to him? The emperor is tired today. Please wait on her to bathe and change clothes and let her go to bed early. Emperor, I'll go back to Qiongyuan Palace first. If you have something to do, you can call me. "

Murong Zhi nodded: "hard you! You go back and have a rest early

Fei Fei summoned the sedan chariot and helped Murong Zhining to sit firmly: "the emperor or go back to Yikun palace and go to bed! The Empress Dowager is walking here. I'm afraid you will see things and hurt you! Besides, you'll have an early morning. Emperor, it's not the servant who says you. Since you and Lord yuan are very close together every day, it's better to get married as soon as possible! "

Murong Zhining is tired and sleepy. She doesn't want to pay any attention to Fei Fei. She supports her chin with her arm on the chariot and closes her eyes to sleep.In the court hall, Murong Zhining was dressed in a red court dress embroidered with five claws and a nine gold dragon crown with tassels on her head.

Li Hua, general of Yunhui, holding the wat board in his hand, said: "I report to the emperor that strange things have happened frequently at the frontier of Shang and Xia dynasties and Huayan. Although China broke off diplomatic relations with Hua Yan, Hua Yan widened the official road leading to Shang and Xia dynasties, which made the situation of border area very tense! "

Murong Zhi frowned with solemn expression: "I don't want to hear any news from Hua Yan. Order the frontier to send more troops and strengthen defense."

Li Hua was in a dilemma and said, "emperor, strange things have happened frequently in SHANGXIA recently! The court didn't allocate special money to build official roads. It's strange that local landlords used their own silver to widen and strengthen the official road leading to Nanjin! "

Murong Zhining said calmly: "it's nothing to make a fuss about. Do you know that it is not businessmen who spontaneously build roads to the capital in order to better transport goods? "

A group of courtiers began to discuss: "Oh, this is obviously Hua Yan's intention to invade." "It is very likely that Hua Yan broadened his official ways in order to prepare for the army's pressure on the border and facilitate the chariots to cross the border." "Is it really inevitable that there will be a fierce war?"

Li Hua bowed down and said, "emperor, all the signs and images show that Hua Yan is not a good comer! Although SHANGXIA was prosperous under the emperor's administration, it was just a breath of relief. It should be noted that our family of Shang and Xia was all spent during the rebellious occupation of the city by the king of Xiang'an. If there is a war, the silver in the Treasury will not be able to support for a long time, and we will soon be in short supply! "

Privy Shi Li Zun said: "the emperor has focused on the restoration of agriculture and Commerce in the past six months. The taxes of the imperial court have been reduced to the limit. If the taxes are not increased, the money in the Treasury will soon be at the bottom."

Murong Zhining solemnly nodded his head: "as General Li said, our SHANGXIA just took a breath of relief. If taxes were strengthened at this time, the burden on the court would be reduced, but the burden on the common people would be too heavy. I will stick to the decision of reducing taxes for two years, so that the people can have a fundamental respite, and the country can develop steadily. I have an idea to solve the deficit. I want to take out the treasure of Beiyan left to me by the late emperor for emergency. With this wealth, there will be no need to worry about the military expenditure and court expenditure. Hua Yan's road construction was not necessarily to cause war, but perhaps to resume trade with Shang and Xia dynasties and improve the transportation environment of goods. However, I will attach great importance to Hua Yan's every move! "

Li Hua bowed down respectfully: "emperor, the treasure of Beiyan does not belong to the state treasury, but is the private property of the royal family. It is left to you by the supreme emperor for dowry! The difficulties of the country can be solved gradually, and the private property of the royal family can not be easily used! "

Murong Zhining patted the armrest of the Dragon chair: "General Li, this is not true! The wealth of the royal family also comes from the people. I use it to strengthen the national strength. It's just good steel for the blade! If the Shang and Xia dynasties were overthrown, would it not be difficult for the royal family to protect their private property? "

Li Zun bowed his hand and said, "the emperor is really dedicated to serving the country with all his heart. Under your administration, the Shang and Xia Dynasties will certainly regain their former heyday, even more brilliant! I have a suggestion that the money should be borrowed from the emperor by the court. Once the power of Shang and Xia is restored, the emperor has the right to take back the wealth at any time! "

Murong Zhining nodded slightly, all the courtiers knelt on the ground and called out "the emperor is wise!"

Outside the imperial study, Fei Fei welcomed Yuan Zhi into the room: "emperor, the Lord yuan is here."

Murong Zhining put down the memorial and looked at Yuan Zhi coldly: "I thought that you would have to use various reasons to avoid and disappear!"

Yuan Zhi easygoing way: "since promised each other, do not give each other pressure, then why should I deliberately avoid and not see?"

Murong Zhining left her Zihao in her hand: "Mr. Yuan has always been on the Sanbao hall. If you come to see me today, there must be something important?"

Yuan Zhi was discontented and said, "I am not always at the Sanbao hall. I'm just afraid to disturb you to read the memorial. Let's get to the point. I heard that you are going to take out the treasure of Beiyan to finance the Shang and Xia dynasties? You are such a big hand! That's the personal belongings left by your father and his mother. How dare you take it out rashly? Don't you know how much this treasure means to you? What should you do in case of trouble again? "

Murong Zhining got up and let Yuan Zhi to the guest seat: "Mr. Yuan came here today to accuse me of spending my own money indiscriminately? I am the king of the Shang and Xia dynasties. How do I deal with my personal property? Do you still ask Mr. Yuan? I'm afraid it's not how I control the treasures of Beiyan that Mr. Yuan wants to manage? But when you have difficulties, don't you speak? It's Your yuan family is so rich that it is more abundant than the state treasury of the Shang and Xia dynasties. But isn't that what your ancestors laid down? Do you want to be a black sheep? "

Yuan Zhi patted the armrest of the chair: "do you still know what I'm coming for? You make such a big decision, shouldn't you discuss it with me? I mean Let me know... "

Murong Zhining said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, aren't you here to inquire? How suddenly seems to lack the confidence? I know you have money to help me through the difficulties, but I can't spend your money with ease. It is a normal way to govern a country. I can't depend on you for everything! Do you understand what I mean
