Chapter 767 The Emperor Sighs and His Officials Sigh
When Emperor Hongde heard the figures given by Minister of Finance Jian Chengye, he smiled and nodded, "Well, that's good!
Not bad!
It seems that the officials of my Jingyue Kingdom are all people who value trust and keep their promises. Very good!
On behalf of the army and people of Jingyue, I would like to thank all the nobles who donated silver!"
Those ministers who claimed to have donated money...are so embarrassed!
However, since Emperor Hongde had already said so, they could only pretend to be humble and bow. They were too embarrassed to say anything more.
After the Minister of Revenue Jian Chengye finished his report and handed in the memorial, he bowed and returned to his original seat.
After Jian Chengye returned to his original position, the atmosphere in the Golden Palace became silent for a moment.
"My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"
Emperor Hongde looked at the ministers below and asked in a calm voice.
The ministers who had nothing to report all remained calm and stood in their positions;
Some of them were secretly looking around and exchanging eye contact with each other, and they were all quite busy!
Looking at who they were, Emperor Hong De knew what they were planning and what they were going to report next.
Emperor Hong De could guess what they were going to say, but who would be the first to speak out... had not yet been decided!
Emperor Hongde thought, since you haven't figured out what to say, then... let me start it!
Emperor Hongde, sitting on the dragon throne, looked at the civil and military officials standing below and suddenly sighed.
The emperor's sigh is no small matter.
When the emperor is worried, his subjects should do their duty to share his worries and solve his problems.
The emperor's worries and troubles have not been resolved yet, so I, as a minister, can only put this chapter on hold before submitting it.
The Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan was standing closest to the front.
As a minister to the emperor for many years, he knew that the emperor had something to say.
Since the emperor has something to say, then, as a subject, he has the obligation to open the conversation for the emperor.
Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan turned to Emperor Hongde, bowed and asked: "Your Majesty, you suddenly sighed... I wonder why?"
Emperor Hong De thought to himself: That’s right!
This is my good subject!
You know what I need and deliver it to me at the right time. That’s great!
Emperor Hongde looked at the Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan and sighed heavily again, "My dear Qin, I sigh for no other reason than that a lot of things have happened in the past few days, and I have a lot of things on my mind.
I think of many of the meritorious officials who have passed away, and I can't help but sigh in my heart!"
"Oh? Your Majesty, but I wonder which sage Your Majesty is thinking of?"
Emperor Hongde thought to himself: Well, Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan's words were very convincing, and this is exactly what I need.
So, Emperor Hongde followed Qin Huaiyuan's words and said, "My dear Qin, you don't know.
In the past few days, because of the changes in the Marquis Qinxing Mansion, I thought of the ancestors of the Marquis Qinxing Mansion, and thought of the first Marquis Qinxing, Leng Yingxian, who had followed the Supreme Emperor on an expedition and made great contributions, and was therefore granted the title of Marquis Qinxing by the Supreme Emperor and granted hereditary title! "
After hearing this, Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan nodded with emotion, "Your Majesty, if you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten about it. I shouldn't have! I shouldn't have!
Lord Leng Yingxian, that is also a wise man whom I respect!"
After hearing what Prime Minister Qin Huaiyuan said, Emperor Hongde sighed again, "Yes, yes, Lord Leng Yingxian is a respectable sage!
His son, the second Marquis of Qinxing, was Lord Leng Mingzhe.
Leng Mingzhe, Lord Leng... Just like his name - Mingzhe... Protect yourself with wisdom and integrity!
Although Lord Leng did not achieve much, he did not make any major mistakes either. It was fine if he lived an ordinary life!
As for his descendants...Alas!"
Emperor Hongde's sigh made people feel so sad...
“It’s just a pity!”
Emperor Hong De continued, "It's a pity that his descendants, for two generations in a row, have not achieved much, and one of them is the source of trouble, and the other is the root of the family's ruin!
Leng Pingye, the son of Leng Mingzhe, is also Leng Xian's father... Alas! I really don't want to mention him!
Although this person did not commit any serious crime, the downfall of the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion was caused by him.
He is the root cause of the demise of the Qinxing Marquisate.
If he had not been careless and fallen into Yin's conspiracy, the hidden danger of the subsequent murder of his daughter-in-law Fu Baozhen would not have been laid!
It was he who let the wolf into the house;
He is the one who bears the responsibility that he should not bear;
He is also the one who does not take the responsibility he should take;
In the end, he was the one who evaded responsibility!
He just walked away, walked away happily and elegantly;
He didn't see it and was no longer bothered, but he lost the Marquis Qinxing Mansion, which his ancestors had exchanged for their lives and merits, to the evil and vicious old Yin!
Can we expect a woman like that to raise a son with noble character and continue to carry forward the glory of the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion?
Or can he stick to his duty and protect the huge family business of Marquis Qinxing?
both are not!
What’s worse, one prodigal Yin was not enough, and now they attracted a poisonous little Yin!
Little Yin gave birth to two more little devils, thus completely destroying the Marquis Qinxing Mansion that represented the glory of their ancestors, and also harmed the virtuous and kind Fu Baozhen!
well! "
Emperor Hongde sighed again.
The court officials below listened and followed Emperor Hongde in recalling the rise and fall of the Qinxing Marquisate. Many of them sighed along with Emperor Hongde.
