"Master Sicheng, what is your intention?"

All the princes present are the core figures of the party, and if they are dealt with, most of the parties can be dealt with.

And Dali Sicheng is now the leader and the only leader of the Qi Party. If he nods, the Qi Party can win, at least half of it.

"Your Majesty!" The Prime Minister of Dali Temple came out and mourned:

"I have been an official for twenty years. I work hard and work hard. I have a breeze in my sleeves. I have no ice in the scorching heat and no charcoal in the severe cold. I just barely make ends meet."

As he spoke, he shook his hands, letting the wide sleeves slip off, revealing a pair of hands full of frostbite.

"For the sake of the court, I would like to die. But I pity my wife and children and don't want them to freeze to death on the street. If your majesty insists on doing this, I will beg for bones."

The old fox...... Yongxing Emperor's brain "chug" pain, he waved his hand quickly:

"Not so much, not so much..."

If this is the case, he will become a greedy emperor who forced officials to donate money and caused the ministers to resign. His reputation will be rotten, and if the history books record it again.

Well, not much better than the first emperor.

Emperor Yongxing believed that such scholars would definitely write like this.

Because they are the ones who are forced to donate.

Emperor Yongxing asked other ministers again, and encountered different soft nails.

Either crying poor or begging for bones.

The young emperor's face became more and more ugly, he was unable to get off the tiger, and finally slapped the table.

"This won't work, and that won't work. What's the use of the court supporting you? Within three days, I want a perfect plan. If I can't get it out, I'll get out of here!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The princes knelt down one after another.

...........

The Xiaochao will end early because of Emperor Yongxing's gaffe and fury.

Wang Shoufu straightened his official hat, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked side by side on the spacious road paved with bluestone slabs with Wei Yuan's successor, Yushi Taiyoudu Yushi, and the leader of the watchmen Liu Hong.

Ahead is the Meridian Gate.

There were guards standing guard in the distance, and the imperial army patrolled. Wang Shoufu's gaze was chasing the imperial army boredly. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said slowly:

"Your Majesty exposed the weakness of his love of fame too clearly, how can he fight these old foxes?

"Your Majesty is still too young."

"There is a heart to strengthen the country and work hard, but the level is not good." Liu Hong did not hide his disdain.

Wang Shoufu took a deep breath, his nose turned red from the cold, and said lightly:

"The methods are immature and the scheming is not deep enough. You can learn all of these. If you change to the fourth prince, you will not be much better than him."

Liu Hong said without thinking: "It's a pity that His Highness Huaiqing is a girl."

Wang Shoufu sneered and said, "The idea of ​​Erlang's memorial to the court to call for donations was given by His Highness Huaiqing. Do you think I don't know?"

Liu Hong said calmly: "Master Shoufu is as insightful as a torch."

"She didn't ask merchants to donate alone, but asked His Majesty to mobilize the officials to donate to set an example. She still has some foresight."

Wang Shoufu snorted, his face turned cold:

"You tell Huaiqing that you want to try your own way in the future, don't use my future son-in-law as a weapon. Your Majesty is destined to lose face because of this matter. At that time, Erlang will have to be angered."

Liu Hong did not speak.

The two walked side by side for a while, Wang Shoufu calmed down his anger, and said lightly:

"The treasury of the imperial court is empty, and the household department is unsustainable. The reason why your majesty does not move the money and food is to guard against the rebels in Yunzhou."

Liu Hong said in a deep voice:

"However, if the disaster is allowed to expand, the number of refugees will increase day by day, causing disasters everywhere, which is also what the rebels would like to see. Misappropriation of military funds is in the hands of the rebels. If it is not embezzled, the rebels are still happy to see it.

"Although I haven't dealt with Xu Pingfeng before, I know that this person is so clever that it makes one's scalp tingle."

If the army cannot be paid in war, the army will mutiny.

But regardless of the disaster, if the growth rate of refugees is not curbed, the situation will become more and more chaotic, and the consequences of a fire in the backyard are equally dire.

"Your Highness Huaiqing can't think of it." Liu Hong sighed: "I thought that after the late emperor left, the imperial court would usher in a brand new era, but it turned out to be a mess."

Wang Shoufu looked far away, seemingly touched.

After a while, he said in a deep voice:

"If this plan is feasible, it will indeed solve the urgent need. But she has overlooked a key point. To make these old foxes and officials of all walks of life willingly pay for it, you need a person who lives in the town.

"Looking at the imperial court, the supervisor counts as one, the late emperor counts as one, Wei Yuan and I count as one, and Xu Qi'an counts as one.

"Jianzheng doesn't care about government affairs. The late emperor and Wei Yuan are old friends. Xu Qi'an traveled all over the world. I asked Erlang a while ago, but there is no news about him."

Liu Hong was startled. Wang Shoufu had already seen through and understood this strategy. Before anyone noticed, he had already secretly probed and deliberated.

...........

Jingxiu Palace.

Emperor Yongxing arrived in a big horse, surrounded by eunuchs, and entered Jingxiu Palace.

He paused in the yard, took a deep breath, pinched the center of his brows, and made his expression less serious.

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he walked across the yard, stepped over the threshold, and saw the concubine mother and sister who had been waiting for a long time.

Concubine Chen Guifei, who ordered the maid to heat up the dishes several times, reprimanded softly:

"Although your majesty is in the prime of life, you should also pay attention to the dragon's body and don't work too hard."

"Mother and concubine, don't worry, Lingbao Temple has a lot of panacea for health and nourishment." Lin'an waved his little hands, smiling like a flower:

"Brother Emperor, come and eat."

Emperor Yongxing smiled, swept away the gloomy atmosphere in the court, and began to eat under the service of the maid.
