I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

"There must be someone with great power behind you, right?"

Upon hearing this, the princess knew she could no longer hide the truth.

Then he pulled out Lin Chen who was next to him and told him about his abilities.

The ability to conquer the Black Evil in the northwest was entirely due to the power of the latter.

The emperor couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him with more respect.

"Thanks to my ancestors, I was able to meet such a talented person in my old age!"

"Lin Chen, you have such ability, do you want to be an official?"

When he heard about being an official, Lin Chen was a little stunned.

All along, his identity seemed to be a retainer of Princess Danyang. He was a little overwhelmed when he was suddenly asked to become an official.

"How about I appoint you as the Assistant Lawyer of the Dali Temple? What do you think?!"

The emperor looked at Lin Chen and asked for his opinion.

Before Lin Chen could say anything, the prince could no longer sit still.

He came before the emperor, bowed, and said, "Lin Chen is a commoner from the countryside. It seems a little unfair for Your Majesty to confer such an official title on him right away!"

Then several ministers jumped out one after another.

They said that the latter was too young and had no achievements. If he was given such a position right away, it would only make those below him feel dissatisfied.

The reason why the prince wanted to prevent Lin Chen from being appointed as the Assistant Law Officer of the Dali Temple.

This is also because although the Xielülang is a nominal position, it carries real power.

Besides, the latter is from Princess Danyang's side.

Those who dissuaded the emperor from appointing Lin Chen as the new Assistant Minister of Music were mostly members of the prince's party.

When the emperor heard this, he also laughed.

"You're saying that Lin Chen doesn't deserve to be named Xie Lu Lang?!"

"Then let me ask you, if it weren't for Lin Chen, who among us would know that there are such terrifying things in the world!"

"There's nothing wrong with a person being pedantic, what's wrong is that they're pedantic and don't realize it!"

Many ministers looked at each other one after another.

They also knew that the emperor was just using words to shut them up.

But the Crown Prince still jumped out, looked at Lin Chen beside him and said: "Even if Lin Chen is very talented, Your Majesty has given him such a position right away. It will eventually make the people below dissatisfied!"

The emperor frowned slightly and asked, "So what do you mean?"

The prince then said, "Some time ago, there was a locust plague in the Jiangzhong area. The princess once allocated two million taels of silver from the national treasury, but now the treasury is empty!"

"If this Lin Chen really has real talent and knowledge, why not give him a year!"

"If he can truly restore the national treasury to its original state within a year, I believe no one will be able to oppose his appointment as Assistant Law Officer of the Taichang Temple!"

At the same time, many ministers jumped out.

"Your Majesty, I think what the Crown Prince said makes sense!"

"I think so too!"

They are all members of the prince's party.

At this moment, the emperor looked at Lin Chen in front of him and said, "What do you think, Mr. Xie Lu?"

The national treasury is empty now, and he really hopes that someone will come out to solve the problem of shortage of silver and money in the national treasury.

The princess quickly stopped him and said, "Father, you must not do that!"

"The treasury's money is short-lived and can be restored slowly!"

"You want Lin Chen to handle this matter alone and solve the 2 million taels deficit in the national treasury in a year? It's simply impossible!"

The prince smiled and said, "You are wrong, my sister!"

"Lin Chen has great talent, Father has said so!"

"It's just that he needs to make up for the two million taels deficit in the national treasury within a year!"

"How about it, Mr. Lin, can you do it?!"

He is obviously flattering himself.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen said directly to the emperor: "Okay, but..."

The emperor then asked, "But what?"

"Lin Chen, do you have any other questions?!"

Lin Chen replied: "A year is too long. I only need to earn two million taels of silver. I don't need that long. Half a year will be enough!"

The prince didn't react at first, and then he just laughed.

As for the emperor, his expression became noticeably more serious.

"Lin Chen, no joking in front of you!"

"Are you sure it will only take half a year?!"

The princess beside him also advised Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, you are really crazy!"

"Ordinary people can only earn a few taels of silver in a year, but you only need half a year, and in half a year, you made two million taels of silver!"

"Kneel down quickly. I will plead for you and ask the emperor to take your sentence!"

The Crown Prince stopped him and said, "Royal sister, no jokes are allowed in front of the king. Since Lin Chen dares to say this, he must have a way to raise the two million taels of silver within six months!"

The princess wanted to say a few words to the emperor on behalf of Lin Chen, but unexpectedly the emperor took her seriously.

"Okay, it's settled!"

"If Lin Chen can raise two million taels of silver within six months to make up for the shortfall in the national treasury, he will be able to serve as the Assistant Lawyer of the Dali Temple!"

"On the contrary, if he fails to do so, not only will he lose his position as the Assistant Lawyer of the Dali Temple, but I will also punish him. After all, no one jokes before the king!"

After saying this, the emperor left the Fengtian Hall.

A group of ministers followed behind him.

……

When only the prince and a few others including the princess were left outside the Fengtian Palace, the prince came closer to Lin Chen.

He sneered and said, "Lin Chen, if you are still willing to come to my side, what I said before still stands!"

In his opinion, it was simply impossible to collect two million taels within half a year.

At least in the Qin State, no one has done it yet.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen said nonchalantly, "Your Highness, don't worry about that!"

"The mountain man has a clever plan!"

Seeing that the other party had reached this point, the prince was still pretending to be calm.

He also laughed disdainfully.

"Okay, then I'll wait for half a year and see how you die in half a year!"

After saying this, the prince just turned around and left.

At the same time, the princess came to Lin Chen and scolded him for being too pretentious this time.

It is impossible for you to collect the two million taels of silver from the national treasury in a short period of time.

"It's definitely impossible to collect it. If we want to get two million taels of silver in a short time, we have to earn it!"

Lin Chen was calm and composed, and explained his method.

When the princess heard this, she burst out laughing.

"Make money? Tell me, how do you make money?"

"Could it be that you have the God of Wealth behind you, or that you can turn stone into gold?!"

Lin Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't turn stone into gold. Anyway, I have another way!"

"Okay, Princess, let's go back first!"

The princess was so angry that she didn't want to care anymore.

Then she took Lin Chenxian back to the royal villa.

……

The next morning, the weather was sunny and windy.

In the royal villa where Princess Danyang lives.

In the hall, the princess just stood there in a daze, and it took her a long time to react.

"You want to borrow money, and you want to borrow one thousand taels?!"

She felt that the latter was crazy. Yesterday, in front of the emperor, he promised to make up for the deficit in the national treasury and raise two million taels of silver within half a year, but today he actually came to borrow money from her directly.

"Princess, I don't want more, just one thousand taels!"

Lin Chen stretched out a finger and said.
