180 Chapter 180, I'm here to make you happy
Emperor Liang actually knew that this son didn't have much wealth.
For one thing, the salary he gave was already small; for another thing, this stupid son spent all his salary on military affairs.
This time, he took the initiative to ask for marriage. Emperor Liang originally had a question in his heart, how much money he could give away in order to marry his favorite concubine Yuan.
As a result, the couple actually used this betrothal gift to cry poorly.
No, this is blatantly asking for a dowry.
"Go, invite King Jingbei."
He remained calm and issued an edict.
After a while, Xiao Qiyu came.
Emperor Liang sat in front of the dragon table, pointed at the betrothal gift slip, and asked with a serious face, "What's going on?"
Xiao Qiyu knelt on the ground with one knee, and replied: "Returning to the father, the son can't bring out decent things to hire... I wanted to sell the good land you gave me before, and buy some decent things. , but Ajaan refused.
"Ajaan said that getting married is not for a moment's glory, but for a long time to live in the future. If she sells the land to pay for the dowry, how will she maintain her life in the future?
"My son felt that what she said was right, so he drew up this dowry list. Although it is a bit shabby, but fortunately, A-Jiang will not dislike it..."
Liang Emperor Xiao Li sighed secretly when he heard it, and he knew very well: Mu Yunjiang must be plotting against him, the emperor!
According to the rules of Great Liang, when the prince gets married before the establishment of the mansion, all the betrothal gifts will be drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, and the officials appointed by the emperor will arrange them.
Now that the prince who opened the mansion gets married, the prince will draw up the betrothal gift himself, and then submit it to the emperor's royal collection. The emperor will follow the dowry list and add double the reward, and then the person designated by the prince will make arrangements.
Now, the dowry list proposed by Xiao Qiyu is really too shabby, even if the emperor doubles the reward, it is too shabby to be able to offer.
The adults in the Ministry of Rites were really afraid of losing face to the royal family, so they had no choice but to report.
And this calculation, according to Xiao Qiyu's character, he would not do it, as a man, he must not wrong his wife so much; therefore, this must be Mu Yunjiang's idea.
Alas, little girl, she started helping her husband before she got through the door.
But he, the emperor, can't be ignored. After all, Mu Yunjiang has contributed to Great Liang, and he has been given marriages several times without success. This time, if the marriage is not decent enough, the world will laugh at him as a gentleman.
Huh, what a clever ghost.
The point is that he can't catch people's mistakes at all.
"Okay, the Ministry of Rites will draw up a list of the things you hired, and I will give you out of my private treasury. You are my son, and if you get married, if you become a laughing stock because of the dowry, it will be my royal family's money." face……"
Xiao Qiyu listened, but he was still polite: "Father, you are so kind, I am afraid that I am ashamed of you."
"You are the first prince conferred by my relatives. A prince's wedding must have the etiquette of a prince. Over the years, you have devoted yourself to the country, and Princess Ningguo has helped you put down the chaos in Yucheng. The credit goes to Sheji. Therefore, You can afford it."
It was rare for Emperor Liang to speak very nicely.
So Xiao Qiyu no longer evaded: "The minister there thanked the emperor for his kindness."
He made another big gift.
Emperor Liang stepped forward and lifted him up: "You're welcome. Go back and tell that little fox in your family that I will definitely hold a beautiful wedding for you, but in the coming year, you will give me a big fat grandson... ..."
Speaking of which, he still likes that little girl quite a bit, she is smart enough, capable enough, but she is really courageous enough.But for some reason, he actually enjoyed this carefulness.
"Yes. My son must work hard."
Xiao Qiyu agreed immediately.
*
Back at the palace, Xiao Qiyu saw Mu Yunjiang waiting for him in the yard from a long distance away, and when he saw him coming back, he raised his skirt and greeted him with a smile, "How, how? What's your royal father's reaction? "
She was small in stature, but when she came here like this, she looked more like a naughty child, and she was especially cute and lovable.
"This is the newly drafted dowry list... Besides, this is the reward order from the emperor just now. You can see it for yourself!"
He handed over the dowry slip and imperial decree he had just obtained to her.
Mu Yunjiang looked at the betrothal gift list first, and the corners of his lips rose unconsciously: "It's rich enough, look, I'll just say, it works..."
"Why do you think it will work?"
In fact, before entering the palace, he still had doubts about it.
"In the previous life, when you married your side concubine, all the dowry gifts were given by the emperor. Although you were not favored, you were still the prince, and you were the only prince who was crowned king. Under such circumstances, the wedding was ugly. He can't stand it. If you insist on swollen face, he will question your private property. This is the best. Let him see that you are so poor...so poor that you don't even care about face..."
This is called loyalty and magnanimity.
Anyway, Prince Jingbei's mansion is so poor that he is not afraid of being investigated, so the emperor can't catch his fault - she made the list, if the emperor really wants to ask for punishment, she can speak to the prospective husband-in-law, this is what she agrees , the emperor did not.
The emperor didn't want to lose face in front of his future daughter-in-law, so he naturally had to act like a father, and the royal family should have the dignity.
If it was placed in Xiao Qiyu's hands, he would not be able to do such a shameful thing, and he would definitely grit his teeth to pass this test. However, even if he sold all the land, he would not be able to get the best dowry gift , it would be better to let the emperor worry about it, and save a lot of money for the mansion.
Think about it, Xiao Qiyu has lived for 21 years and has been devoting himself to the country without letting the emperor spend much money.So, this time, it's okay to let him bleed a little.
"But, father knows that you came up with this idea..."
He sighed lightly.
"I just want your father to know that it was me, and you listen to me very much, so I will become your weakness.
"A competent minister, the emperor is not afraid of his ability, but he is afraid that he has no weakness. You are a talented person, and the emperor wants to use you, but the emperor is afraid of you. Let him know that your weakness is good... In the future, if he It is good news for him to let you take control of the military power and send me abroad, and leave me in the capital to manipulate you..."
Mu Yunjiang's analysis was thorough.
Xiao Qiyu frowned slightly: "I'm sorry, I dragged you into a complicated situation..."
"I was pulled in by you a long time ago. From now on, what we have to do is to make a way out of the crisis..." She put down the dowry slip, took another look at the decree, and her face burst into surprise:
"Hey, the emperor gave you so many rewards this time? It seems that he is afraid that you will be rejected by me... After all, I am now the deputy city lord of Yucheng. The city lord said before that he would prepare more than a dozen cars for me. The dowry, now, is being sent here one by one..."
Xiao Qiyu hugged her suddenly: "Well, after marrying you, I seem to have suddenly become rich. This large reward is like a pie falling from the sky..."
He has never been so rich: Father is afraid that he will be compared with Yucheng's dowry.
"So, I'm here to make you happy."
She smiled so dissatisfied.
He nodded, feeling deeply, "Yes, you are here to make me happy... Ever since I met you, I have been lucky, Mu Yunjiang, you have always been my lucky star."
That's right, when he met her, his gloomy life finally turned around and was painted with a dazzling color!
He is full of expectations for the future...
See you tomorrow.
