“They didn’t dare to state it explicitly because they couldn’t formte the antidote and were afraid of losing their heads!”
“The primary reason for transferring Su Bin back to the capital is topel Qin<div>
Zhenzhen to provide the antidote!”
The new emperor believed he had a justifiable cause, but the old duke responded sternly.
“Even if we bring Su Bin back to the capital, Mrs. Su won’t apany him, considering she recently gave birth to a son!” This revtion angered the new emperor.
“So what if she won’t?!”
“Is she daring enough to defy an imperial edict and refrain from entering the pce?”
He was curious to witness Qin Zhenzhen’s postpartum state. Would it render him powerless?
“As the supreme ruler, can’t I handle a woman?!”
He asserted his authority as the emperor, refusing to tolerate any inconvenience.
In this life, he was resolute about marrying Qin Zhenzhen. If she proved obedient and charming, he wouldvish his affections solely on her. However, if her demeanor changed or she became cold, he wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate her.
The emperor contemted his desires, his thoughts almost transparent on his face.
Understanding, the old duke sighed, “Your Majesty holds the highest position in the world, and dealing with a woman should indeed be within your capacity. Yet, have you considered the potential consequences of such actions?” The new emperor inquired patiently, “What would be the consequences?”<div>
The old duke spoke earnestly, “When the Emperor was the Crown Prince, youthful ignorance might have hindered a full understanding of state matters. However, now as the ruler, it is your responsibility toprehend the intricacies of governance.”
“Your Majesty, are you aware of how much Su Bin and Madam Su have contributed to the national treasury in the past two years?”
The new emperor hesitated for a moment. “What percentage?”
Previously, as a non-emperor, it was not within his purview to inquire about the national treasury’s ie. Although now an emperor, the timeframe had been too brief for such details.
The old duke extended his palm to disy a fraction. “Two-fifths!” The new emperor disyed surprise. “Madam Su alone can contribute so much?”
The old duke affirmed, “Indeed! Their influence is significant.” “Almost half of the country’s taxes are attributed to their family.” “This is precisely why I object to any interference with Su Bin and Qin
Zhenzhen. ”
“Depriving them of this contribution would lead to an almost 50% reduction in the national treasury’s ie!”
The new emperor scoffed. “Can’t we just seize their assets and rece them with our people?”
The old duke sighed once more.
“If that were possible, I wouldn’t hinder the Emperor!”<div>
“The sess of the Su and Qin families hinges on Qin Zhenzhen’s medicinal formtions and her exceptional business acumen.”
“Her business methods have be a model for enterprises across the country. Over the past two years, not only have they increased their tax payments, but other businesses have also experienced a surge in taxes.”
“Our nation’s economy has taken a significant leap forward due to their contributions. It cannot be denied that our country is gradually prospering.”
“Without Mrs. Su, what’s the use of seizing those businesses? Ultimately, they will copse due to mismanagement.”
“Your Majesty, do not overlook the fact that Qin Zhenzhen is a harbinger of good fortune. She has the ability to bring prosperity to her family and, by extension, to the entire nation. Her past actions, including saving the entire royal family, stand as the mostpelling evidence of her contributions.”
The old duke presented his arguments with eloquence and a logical analysis.
Even the Grand Empress Dowager found the old duke’s reasoning to be convincing and not merely spective.
She reminisced about thete emperor’s words to her. He had cautioned that neglecting one’s benefactor would inevitably lead to dire consequences..
