Chapter 300: Emperor with Hidden Disease VS Tofu Xishi (20)
·
Ye Xiu Lao Po
The Liu family cannot propose the adoption of an adopted daughter, neither the Concubine Xian nor General Liu.
This matter can only be brought up by Wu Shuang, who is pregnant with the emperor's child, so that the emperor's anger will not be brought to the Liu family.
But Wushuang was banned, so it was quite troublesome for Liu Xue to find her.
She wanted to bet, bet Wushuang didn't want her family to hold her back, bet she also wanted a prominent family background.
When Wushuang was more than five months pregnant, Concubine Xian had not found a chance to talk to Wushuang about recognizing her adoptive father, but something big happened in her previous relationship.
The Taifu was imprisoned, and everyone in the Li family was taken into custody.
"What's going on?" Wushuang has been staying in Fengyi Palace since she was banned. She can't go out to the imperial garden to exercise, so she practices pregnant women's yoga in the palace.
Of course, she spends most of her time practicing calligraphy or reading.
She could be said to be completely deaf to what was going on outside the window, and she didn't even know what happened to the Li family.
"I heard that the Grand Tutor was corrupt, accepted bribes, and formed cliques for personal gain." Cuizhu cleverly explained the Grand Tutor's charges.
"It is said that the Grand Tutor has been embezzled and accepted bribes, and the amount found was as high as 200 million taels." Cuizhu couldn't help but gasped as he spoke, "That's 200 million taels."
Their mother-in-law's monthly income is only 1000 taels of silver. Based on her current monthly income, it will take 1000 years to have 200 taels.
Wushuang: "Twelve million taels... is that much?"
Wushuang also calculated her monthly income. For a second-grade Xiuyi, her monthly income was 1000 taels, which was already pretty good.
The monthly salary of a first-grade concubine is 3000 taels, while the monthly salary of a queen is 6000 taels.
In fact, the concubine in the harem may want to climb up the ladder because she wants a higher salary, but she really didn't expect that Mrs. Li could be so greedy.
"Your Majesty's treasury may not have that much money, right?" Wushuang asked with a smile.
Cui Zhu nodded.
Although she didn't know exactly how much money the treasury had, twelve million taels was really too much.
For the amount of corruption alone, Mr. Li must be sentenced to death.
As for the other members of the Li family, it depends on whether they have done anything more extreme. Anyway, they will definitely be exiled.
Wushuang smiled and said, "Did Concubine Li mock me before, saying it was too embarrassing for me to have an exiled father and mother?"
"Now it's Concubine Li's turn to be ridiculed... Oh, maybe there will be no Concubine Li anymore." Wushuang said with a smile.
Li Xia's father was found to have embezzled such a large amount of money, formed a clique for personal gain, and wanted to sideline the emperor. How could Li Xia continue to be a noble concubine?
"Yes, Concubine Li went to His Majesty to plead for mercy after knowing that Taifu Li was imprisoned, but she was demoted to a commoner."
Cuizhu was also upset by the palace maid next to Concubine Li. Now that she saw Concubine Li being demoted to a commoner, she was particularly happy.
……
Taifu Li's downfall was not just his own fault, he affected the entire Li family, and the emperor confiscated the Li family.
The embezzled 200 million taels was not only spent by Taifu Li, but also by other members of the Li family and Concubine Li in the palace.
Although the imperial concubine’s monthly allowance is 3000 taels, how could Concubine Li, who came from a privileged background, spend 3000 taels per month in such a tight manner?
She must have gotten the money from her natal family and then continued to squander it.
Although the emperor does not favor anyone, Concubine Li has spent a lot of money over the years.
Now that something has happened to Mr. Li, those who squandered his embezzled money will of course have to pay the price.
In addition to the Li family, of course they are the people who bribed Taifu Li.
Of course there were many people who could send so much money to Taifu Li. Their homes were ransacked and the treasury was filled a lot.
Qin Mu looked at the seized properties and was very satisfied, "We have the money to build Da Qin."
He was not very poor before, but he didn't have much money in the later years of the late emperor.
After Qin Mu became emperor, he worked diligently for five years. The treasury finally had a little money, but it had never been as rich as it is now.
Qin Mu was very happy. Taifu Li had fallen and the treasury was full. It could be considered that he had done a good deed for the Qin Dynasty with his own life.
Of course, the evil things he did after taking bribes cannot outweigh the "good things" he did by filling the treasury.
"Your Majesty, your concubine... No, she is a commoner, Mrs. Li. What should I do with her?" Su Bai asked cautiously.
"...Are you going to send him to the cold palace?"
Qin Mu said, "Sent him to be exiled with the rest of the Li family."
He had never touched Li Xia at all, and he had no idea that his woman would stay in the palace even if she was demoted.
By leaving Li Xia in the cold palace, he still had to pay to support her and the people who looked after her, which was also an expense.
Moreover, Li Xia also squandered the money embezzled by her father before, and now she is exiled like her family, which can be regarded as atonement.
Su Bai was a little surprised that his Majesty would make such a decision.
Oh my God, it’s so tragic that the palace concubine’s mother-in-law’s family was exiled even after their home was confiscated.
Who will dare to become His Majesty’s concubine in the future?
Qin Mu didn't care about that much.
He didn't care if he set a precedent and allowed the palace concubine to be exiled with her mother's family. In the future, someone would harm the palace concubine in the future because of this.
Anyway, it was impossible for him to raise Li Xia, so he might as well "reunite" her with his family.
So Li Xia was demoted to a commoner and deprived of all the benefits of a palace concubine. When she thought that she would live in the cold palace forever and die in the cold palace, she was sent out and exiled with her mother's family.
Taifu Li and those who had given him large sums of money were sentenced to death, and the rest of the Li family were exiled.
Qin Mu even asked the rest of the Li family to watch Taifu Li be executed before letting them leave the capital and go to the place of exile.
Qin Mu knows what it means to kill people and kill people.
Harem.
"Ms. Li was sent out of the palace and exiled with her mother's family?" Concubine Xian was also frightened after getting the news.
Their majesty is so cruel that he can even exile a woman who has been his woman for several years without mercy.
What about her?
His Majesty has never touched her. If something happens to her or something happens to her natal family, will she be exiled like Li Xia?
Concubine Xian was so frightened that she quickly sent a letter back to her parents' home, telling her father to be careful and not to be arrogant and provoke the emperor because he thought he was a good fighter.
Don't be arrogant or have any other ideas. The main thing is not to implicate her in being exiled.
In addition to the virtuous concubine Liu Xue, Wang Zhaoyi, Xu Zhaorong, Gao Zhaoyuan... and the other seven concubines were all frightened and quickly told their parents' families not to cause trouble.
But they forgot that Taifu Li did not get greedy for 200 million taels overnight, but accumulated so much over time.
So when they warned their parents-in-law, their parents-in-law had actually done something that would have punished them if they were caught.
Therefore, during the days when Wushuang was nominally grounded but actually raising a fetus, something happened to the concubines one by one.
This matter can only be brought up by Wu Shuang, who is pregnant with the emperor's child, so that the emperor's anger will not be brought to the Liu family.
But Wushuang was banned, so it was quite troublesome for Liu Xue to find her.
