Is Chapter 373 boring to read? Do you think the words are too watery?
The queen felt a little embarrassed by their gazes, but there was nothing she could do. For the sake of her throne, she had to do this.
The two princesses stood aside and dared not say a word, fearing that they would be called out by the Queen. They did not want to pay.
Wouldn't it be nice to spend your own money? Why give it to those bastards?
But what you fear will come true. The Queen also named the two and asked them to stop being romantic and do more good deeds for the people.
Hearing this, although the two were unhappy, they had no choice but to agree.
After the group left, some ministers came and asked about the queen's condition and wanted to help find the murderer.
The Queen rejected them all. The ministers didn't understand why, and the Queen didn't bother to say anything more. She also told them not to spread the news.
After this incident, the ministers, led by the prime minister, urged the empress to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible.
It implies that if the Queen encounters this situation again, she will be caught off guard. The country is the most important thing.
The Queen was furious. Normally, they would just persuade her, but this time, she was injured, not dying, and they still persuaded her.
What's the point of preparing for a rainy day? This is clearly a curse for her to die early! I was originally full of anger,
But these ministers who have no tact are walking on the edge of a knife. Why should the king of her country suffer a serious crime while they, as subjects, are free of it?
That person said that the people should not be treated unfairly, but that did not mean that officials should not be treated unfairly. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The empress immediately had all the officials who advised her to establish a crown prince taken down and beaten with ten boards.
The prime minister felt that the queen was insulting her and was trying to take advantage of her seniority, which made the queen so angry that she threw a tantrum;
"If I don't live well, none of you will live well either. If anyone dares to ask me to appoint a crown prince or make decisions for me again, I will exterminate all nine generations of your clan..."
When this was said, everyone's eyes widened, but they also felt that it made sense. They saw that the Queen was seriously injured and thought that the Queen was easy to control.
I didn't expect that no matter how poor a beast is, it is still a beast. If anyone dares to covet it, it will still be able to inflict pain on the other party...
The officials accepted the beatings resignedly, those who didn't say anything breathed a sigh of relief, and the colleagues such as the Grand Tutor and the Minister of Agriculture who breathed a sigh of relief were also filled with relief.
Their king is still in her father's belly. They just need to protect her. The rest of the disputes have nothing to do with them.
The Queen was relieved to see the Grand Tutor and his men. Fortunately, not all officials were as arrogant as the Prime Minister.
Her throne is still sincerely cared for her...
Thinking of this, the Queen was filled with joy and told the Grand Tutor and the others not to investigate Princess Jiaoyang's affairs.
The Taifu and his companions didn't understand what was going on, but they still thanked him happily.
The prime ministers thought that the matter was over after the beating, but they did not expect that the queen would ask them to donate 10 taels each to the disaster area.
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister and others were shocked and looked at the Queen with disbelief.
It's like asking, are you mistaken? 10 taels! Is this 10 taels of silver?
Besides, they are not in the money business, so how could they have the ability to come up with so much?
What made the prime minister and the others even angrier was that the Taifu and the others didn't have to make any donations. They just had to collect the silver and the Taifu and the others would make the arrangements.
Why? We all serve the same monarch, why do some people have to pay money and others don't?
The prime minister opened her mouth to ask, but when she looked up and saw the sharp look in the queen's eyes, she shuddered and said, "Ouch!"
The anger just now made her forget the pain in her buttocks. Now she moved and it hurt so much.
It hurts, but you are still alive. If you lose your money, you have nothing.
The Prime Minister gave his subordinates a look, and several of them understood what he meant. They said to the Queen without knowing their own limitations;
"Your Majesty, my family cannot afford so much silver. Can you please reduce the amount?"
"Oh? How much can you offer?"
"Your humble servant...your humble servant..."
The subordinate lowered his head and looked towards the prime minister. After receiving the prime minister's gesture, he immediately said;
"I can offer 90,000 taels..."
"hiss..."
Hearing this, if the prime minister hadn't been in so much pain, he would have really wanted to get up and beat her to death. She was clearly making the number five, but she could actually say nine.
The prime minister glared at his subordinate fiercely. Seeing this, the subordinate knew that he had said something wrong and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat...
The Queen's mood turned from gloomy to bright. She thought they would say they were poor and only donate 40,000 or 50,000 taels, but she didn't expect 90,000 taels. (′▽｀)
The queen was happy and did not bother them anymore. She told them to go home and raise money.
The matter has been settled. No matter how much the prime ministers feel sorry for the money, they dare not speak, for fear that the queen will give them ten more strokes of the cane...

The Grand Tutor invited the Grand Commandant and the others to return home happily. Ji Xingle sat aside and drank tea.
Seeing Ji Xingle, several people happily bowed to Ji Xingle to express their gratitude.
Ji Xingle waved his hand and said with a smile;
"That's the reward you get for not forgetting your original intention..."
The Taifu and his companions were extremely delighted to receive the praise.
Then he asked those families what to do. The Queen would not hunt them down, but the Queen and his father's family would not let them go so easily.
Ji Xingle told them not to worry. She had asked the woman when she woke up.
Zhuang Nvzi did not plan to take the imperial examination and wanted to go back to her hometown to farm, so Ji Xingle asked them to farm in her place, which was secluded and most people would not think that such a poor place could hide people.
Dozens of people were hiding in the secret room of the Taifu's house. Ji Xingle planned to send them away one by two, so that they would not be too conspicuous.
Hearing this, everyone felt that this method was feasible, but the journey was too long and they were afraid of accidents.
Ji Xingle didn't say anything after hearing this. She saved the girl because she didn't like being bullied.
She could take care of the rest, but since they were not related, she didn't want to worry too much about other people.
Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God. She has done the first part, and the rest depends on their own luck.
When the Grand Tutor saw that Ji Xingle didn't say anything more, he also knew that this person was not an important person, so he didn't say anything more.
Instead, they went into the secret room together to see them. Zhuang was very happy to see Ji Xingle.
After hearing that the Queen would not pursue the matter any further, she pulled her husband and children to kneel down and thank Ji Xingle.
Ms. Zhuang thought that it must be because of Ji Xingle's efforts that they were safe.
Before they could be happy for long, Ji Xingle mentioned the dangerous elements of the Queen's family.
The Zhuang woman was instantly terrified, but she was not afraid of death, and she spoke;
“Then if you let us plant in your place, will it affect you?
Otherwise, we won’t go. We are used to living in poverty all our lives. You are a good person, and we can’t let you get into trouble…”
Hearing this, Ji Xingle raised his eyebrows. This guy is really kind. He would rather die than drag others down...
Without waiting for Ji Xingle to speak, several elderly people, with tears in their eyes, said that they would not cause trouble for Ji Xingle.
This is their fate. Meeting such people is their disaster, but they just accept it.
Not good at comforting people, just talking about the joy of the season;
"Don't cry, don't think too much, it won't cause me any trouble, when the time comes, just be diligent.
If you don't want to take the science exam, then don't take it. Filling your stomach is the most important thing right now."
The Zhuang woman said seriously;
"Yes, I will, thank you..." (*^_^*)
