Chapter 172
"Brother is too proud!" Tang Shuheng said jokingly.
Although the two have been fighting for many years, no one of them is optimistic about Tang Yu at this time, as if Tang Yu is about to be deposed as the crown prince of the East Palace.
At five o'clock in the morning, all the civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty arrived at the Jinluan Palace, and the Tang Emperor also arrived.
After seeing that there was no sign of Tang Yu in the hall, Emperor Tang frowned and asked, "Where is Yu'er? Didn't he promise me to collect two million silver in one day? Where are they?"
"Father, I think Lao Jiu didn't have enough money to go to court, right?" Tang Long sneered.
"Ha ha ha ha"
When Tang Long finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court burst into laughter.
Tang Shuheng also said: "Although my father loves the ninth brother very much, yesterday the ninth brother has issued a military order. If the ninth brother cannot raise two million silver this morning, he will be removed from the position of crown prince. Yesterday, all the civil and military officials in the court listened.
Now that we’re here, Father can’t break his promise!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the courtiers responded one after another.
"You want to remove me from the position of crown prince? Let me ask you, are you two worthy?"
Just when Tang Long and Tang Shuheng were preparing to impeach Tang Yu, a contemptuous voice came.
The next moment, Tang Yu was seen walking in from the door of Jinluan Palace, sweating profusely and panting.
Seeing Tang Yu's arrival, Emperor Tang was surprised and said: "Yu'er, why are you sweating so much so early in the morning?"
"Reporting to my father, it's too heavy, it's really too heavy!" Tang Yu smiled bitterly.
"Too heavy? What's too heavy?"
Hearing this, all the civil and military officials were surprised.
Tang Yu shouted: "Quick, quick, bring the box in quickly!"
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Immediately, under the watchful eyes of everyone, thirty or forty big men, all dripping with sweat, were seen carrying boxes into the Golden Palace.
Bang, bang, bang!
In an instant, boxes one after another were placed in the Jinluan Hall.
Tang Long's expression suddenly changed: "Lao Jiu, what is this?"
"Open it and let my brother take a good look!" Tang Yu shouted.
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
A group of big men followed Tang Yu's instructions and opened the boxes one after another.
The moment the box was opened, the white money suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Silver? Where did you get so much silver?"
Seeing that the box was full of silver, the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.
Emperor Tang also stood up in shock: "So much silver? It looks like more than two million taels, right?"
"Father, it's not much, only five million taels. My father-in-law said that if it's not enough, just wait for a few days and even ten million taels won't be a problem!" Tang Yu said richly.
"What? There are five million taels of silver here?"
Wow!
I learned that Tang Yu not only borrowed silver, but also borrowed five million taels at a time.
