MTL - Transmigrating into the Prince Regent’s Beloved Runaway Wife-Chapter 56
Meng Huan seemed to have stabbed him viciously with a sharp object in his mind, and when he closed his eyes to relieve the discomfort, two words appeared in his mind - "unlucky".
Extremely bad luck!
The person who tied him was actually An Chui?
Will the line of fleeing his wife be unavoidable forever?
When there were endless doubts in his heart, a tall and strong man walked up and down beside Meng Huan: "Is it better to use him in exchange for Anur's life, or to cut off his head and worship it in front of Anur's grave?" ?”
An Chui waved the whip in his hand, and looked down at Meng Huan calmly: "Han people never pay attention to exchanging life for life. When we say that we exchange his life for Anur's life, they will say that the innkeeper who was killed Who will change my life?"
"Are we just going to watch Anur die?" The middle-aged man was furious.
An Chui turned his face away with gloomy eyebrows, raised his hand, and slapped the man very quickly, causing the man's head to be turned away, and he took a few steps back. His tone was cold and terrified.
"Drunk and making trouble, I deserve to die! Before I leave the capital, I have one thing to do. If you spoil my plan any more, I will not only cut off your heads and return to Jianzhou, And cut off the heads of your children."
The others didn't dare to speak anymore and knelt on the ground.
Looking at An Chui, Meng Huan's scalp tingled. This person is not the same as Lin Bozhou. Lin Bozhou also kills people, but Lin Bozhou never does it himself. He always asks his subordinates to kill him.
Moreover, Lin Bozhou has a reason to kill people. If you don’t offend him, he is an upright gentleman who can communicate peacefully. However, An Chui’s concept of morality, benevolence and righteousness is weak, and he kills people when he is angry. Years, and occasionally cannibalism!
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Meng Huan's forehead, and his palms felt a little cold.
He worked up his courage and asked, "What do you want, money? How much?"
He pursed his lower lip, "I can ask my family to give it to you."
His husband Lin Bozhou is rich, very rich!
How much money you want, as much gold and silver treasures, you can ask for anything.
Lin Bozhou will definitely give it too, Meng Huan has this confidence.
…Of course, when you get your money is when you die. Meng Huan didn't say this.
An Chui's gloomy gaze fell on his face, and he asked, "How much money can your family give? You can't afford what I want."
He motioned to the man next to him, "Tie him up and follow me."
A force of gravity struck from behind, and Meng Huan was forced to stand upright, his wrists tied behind his back felt tingling, and anger flashed in his drooping eyelashes, but he still swallowed his anger and followed along obediently.
In the imperial city.
Lin Bozhou first went to Wenyuan Pavilion to meet with the cabinet ministers.
The cabinet ministers were all surprised. This was the first time Lin Bozhou chose to return to the cabinet when he was in poor health since he was promoted to the Regent of the Supervisory Kingdom. They stood up one after another, and Chen Cifu even offered a chair for Lin Bozhou to sit down: "My lord, take care of your health! "
"Let's talk about how to use the money for patrolling salt first." Lin Bozhou said in a warm voice, "Your body is fine, and you can still recuperate. The common people are in danger, and it is imminent."
Several cabinet ministers quickly praised Lin Bozhou for his benevolence and righteousness.
They looked at Elder Cui Ge and said, "Otherwise, Elder Cui Ge will speak first?"
Old Cui Ge stroked his beard and was about to speak.
Lin Bozhou paused, "Your Majesty, please come over and discuss together."
Speaking of these words, everyone's backs tensed up.
According to the time, usually this point is the time when Emperor Xuanhe observes politics in the cabinet. Although Emperor Xuanhe's opinions cannot participate in the decision-making, he needs to understand how to handle political affairs and how the country works from the exchanges between Lin Bozhou and this group of cabinet ministers. governance.
But at this moment, Emperor Xuanhe is not there!
—Proof that when Lin Bozhou suffered from an eye disease and could not come to court, he immediately skipped class.
The atmosphere was tense, how could Lin Bozhou not understand, the corners of his lips were pursed very lightly, and he didn't speak.
One of the eunuchs knelt down and kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty read too late yesterday, caught the wind and cold, and was bedridden this morning. He should still be resting now."
The **** Pei Xiyi coughed and covered his lips with his fingers.
Lin Bozhou paused, his expression did not change, he didn't know whether he believed it or not, he got up slowly: "Okay, this king will go to visit His Majesty first."
Lin Bozhou was supported by Pei Xiyi on the shoulders, and walked to the Hall of Mental Cultivation where Emperor Xuanhe lived. Needless to say, someone must have gone to report to Emperor Xuanhe in advance, so as soon as he walked to the gate of the hall, Emperor Xuanhe coughed Passed it over: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, why are you here, Brother Huang's eyes are not feeling well, he should be recuperating in the mansion..."
The thirteen-year-old boy was coughing very hard, and the cough was dying.
But it's also very fake.
Lin Bozhou got off his shoulders, and after saluting, he said as if nothing had happened: "I heard that your Majesty has a bad cough, and you must have a severe cold. Come here and call someone from the Imperial Medical Office."
Eunuch: "Yes."
Emperor Xuanhe looked flustered, and hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, I saw a doctor this morning, and the people from the Imperial Medical Office just left, and I asked them to come here again, isn't it too troublesome?"
"Your Majesty's body is the foundation of the country, and you need to be extremely vigilant, so what's the trouble? Let them come again and it won't get in the way, so I can rest assured. Go and announce."
Every word Lin Bozhou said was for the good of Emperor Xuanhe, his tone was gentle, and the comfort in his words was just right, but he could hear Emperor Xuanhe's scalp numb and his back feel cold, knowing that Lin Bozhou really saw through that he was lying.
He was defeated, so he could only shout like he was seven or eight years old: "Brother Huang..."
Lin Bozhou loosened his fingers slightly, but his expression was still solemn, without any relaxation. He obviously wanted to reprimand him, but the first sentence was, "Your Majesty, go into the palace."
Don't reprimand Emperor Xuanhe in front of everyone. The emperor needs majesty and respect from everyone. Emperor Xuanhe hurriedly helped him into the hall, and personally moved a chair for Lin Bozhou to sit on.
Emperor Xuanhe was somewhat puzzled. Before Lin Bozhou married his wife, he didn't have such doubts. He felt that the emperor's brother would always have such a sense of oppression and majesty, but when he heard that the emperor's brother married a wife, he couldn't help but start thinking, then Is the emperor's brother also so serious and stern to his wife?
After a while, Lin Bozhou said, "Your Majesty shouldn't lie."
Emperor Xuanhe: "Brother Emperor, I was wrong."
Lin Bozhou: "Your Majesty lied and escaped. Although the officials did not expose it, they knew it in their hearts. They would think that His Majesty was weak and weak, and they would have the courage to fight against His Majesty in the future."
Emperor Xuanhe said sadly, "Brother Emperor, but I really don't want to go to the cabinet, I want to rest."
"Your Majesty is the emperor, you should do your best."
"But..." Emperor Xuanhe knew that he was definitely not as tired as Lin Bozhou, but he was still not reconciled, "Brother Emperor, being an emperor is exhausting."
"Your Majesty shouldn't say such things."
Emperor Xuanhe nodded, and his expression relaxed again: "Yes, I know I shouldn't say this, because I am willing to be the emperor, fighting in the world is much more enjoyable than fighting on the chessboard."
Moreover, the emperor has everything, and everyone should respect him.
Except for Lin Bozhou, he is not afraid of anyone.
Lin Bozhou said in a solemn and solemn tone, "Your Majesty, the world is not a chessboard, and the common people are not chess pieces."
Emperor Xuanhe laughed dryly: "I know, I'm joking, the common people are all my children."
After finishing speaking, Emperor Xuanhe couldn't help but start to lose his mind again.
... His imperial brother is still as incomprehensible as ever, so, will the princess really like a man like him?
Emperor Xuanhe had seen Meng Huan, and heard that he was snatched from the street by the emperor's brother, so, Meng Huan was forced by the emperor's brother?
Is he also so domineering towards his wife?
Wouldn't Meng Huan hate him?
When Emperor Xuanhe was distracted, Lin Bozhou changed the subject: "What does Your Majesty think should be spent on the two million taels of silver that the censor patrolled the salt?"
Emperor Xuanhe's eyes suddenly lit up, "I can give one million to the people! I keep the other one million for myself."
The tone is quite proud.
One million was given to the people, but half was given!
Is he particularly considerate of the people, the emperor!
Lin Bozhou pursed his lips, and said slowly, "Your Majesty may wish to listen to the opinions of the cabinet ministers."
"oh."
Emperor Xuanhe knew that his brother disapproved of him, as if he had been poured cold water on his head, he couldn't help but get angry, and didn't dare to reprimand Lin Bozhou, so he could only curse, "I really don't understand, don't the people have land? Why? You have to keep asking for money, keep asking for money. The same is true for military pay. Isn’t the farmland self-sufficient? Why do you keep asking for money? What are officials doing? ?”
His words were just anger, but he never thought about why.
Lin Bozhou's chest felt a bit uncontrollable tingling pain, he closed his lips tightly, nodded and said, "This is a problem that His Majesty will solve after taking office."
Emperor Xuanhe's anger dissipated, and he subconsciously looked at him: "Brother Emperor, can you solve it?"
"Maybe it can, but it will take a long time," Lin Bozhou said, "At that time, His Majesty may find the minister annoying, so he will not let him do it long ago."
"Brother Emperor, I will never find you bothering me." Emperor Xuanhe finished speaking with confidence, and said eagerly, "But, that money, really can't I share one million yuan to repair the chess palace?"
Lin Bozhou's lips clenched even tighter.
He held the back of the chair with his hand, and after clenching it slightly, veins appeared on the back of his hand.
Totally disagree with his proposal.
Emperor Xuanhe sighed, knowing that it was impossible.
Lin Bozhou became queen regent, but in fact he never let Emperor Xuanhe be wronged. He had everything he should have, but Emperor Xuanhe always felt that there were never too many good things, and there was always not enough of what he wanted.
Emperor Xuanhe fell back on the bed, his legs dangling, "Is it really too much to ask for a chess palace? But I am the emperor, if I don't have a chess palace, it's too boring."
But he didn't know how many strong ships and guns could be built with the millions of taels of silver to build the chess palace, how many armaments could be built, and how many people in disasters could be fed without starving to death.
Emperor Xuanhe didn't answer.
Lin Bozhou clenched his teeth, the blood in his body was boiling, and he was afraid that the next sentence would be a curse at him. If, just to say, if Emperor Xuanhe was not the emperor, and such a naive and cruel person appeared in front of him, he would be kicked out of his heart.
I only think about what I want, but I never make any contribution.
Sitting in the chair, Lin Bozhou regained his lip color after a while.
He stood up, and said indifferently, "The next time I will talk about the classics, I will change a few teachers for Your Majesty, and re-talk about benevolent government and Mingjun."
Lin Bozhou stood up, left the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and returned to the cabinet.
It took them a long time to agree on what to do with the money. The annual income of Dazong's treasury is only 20 million taels, two million taels, which is one-tenth of Dazong's annual income.
Lin Bozhou remembered the money Cui Ge was greedy for.
He was calm and tolerant, and he was not in a hurry to beat him. Let Cui Ge be greedy, but Cui Ge will not be around for long, and the money will return to the treasury sooner or later.
Finally, the political affairs were discussed, and the money was finally distributed to the military and the people. Lin Bozhou walked to the gate of the imperial city, and was about to get into the carriage when an extremely anxious voice came: "My lord!"
It's Chen An.
He was always calm, but this voice was extremely panicked.
Lin Bozhou's mind flashed for a moment, he turned his face to the side, his lips lined coldly: "Say."
Chen An's voice was broken like a porcelain bottle falling to the ground.
"Princess, the princess is gone!"
