After Marquis Dongxiang finished his business, he took his leave.
The Emperor sat on the Dragon Chair, staring at the one hundred thousand taels, not knowing how to react.
This Emperor, as a father, wanted to build a Princess Mansion for his daughter but had neither the money nor efficient people to carry out the task, not even having found land.
His daughter earned her living on her own, not only living well but also able to help him, her father.
Though this money was for Marquis Dongxiang, it ultimately funded horses and equipment for the Flying Tiger Army, which is part of the court's forces.
The Emperor was lost in thought as he looked at the silver notes for a while.
Finally—
The Emperor was annoyed with Xie Jingchen.
Why didn't he think to first bring the silver notes into the palace to inform him, and then deliver them to Marquis Dongxiang?
The Red Book Iron Certificate was granted by him, the Emperor.
Yet all the credit went to Marquis Dongxiang.
