"With three months' salary, how do you let those colleagues who have nothing to do with their sleeves spend this winter?"

Before Xu Nian could speak, he sneered and said sarcastically:

"In order to please His Majesty, you actually came up with such absurd tricks, you villain. I am at the same time as you, and I feel ashamed."

The officials on the sidelines echoed.

Xu Nian expressed no expression on his face, and said: "This official is for the people of Li, and I have a clear conscience."

"What a clear conscience!"

Qian Mu laughed three times, and said loudly: "I am willing to disperse all the family property, fill the treasury, and relieve the victims. Xu Tanhua, since you have a clear conscience, and since you are the people of the Li people, do you dare to use up all the family property like this official?" Donate?"

After saying this, there was applause all around:

"Master Qian is a gentleman."

"Master Qian is righteous."

A series of narrow eyes looked at Xu New Year.

Xu Xinnian frowned. What Qian Mu said was a rascal. Xu's family has a lot of shops, fertile land, and dividends from the chicken essence left by his elder brother. What does the other party have?

Although it is not impoverished, but after sitting on the bench for so long, I am afraid that the family only has a few buckets of rice and a few taels of silver.

But he couldn't reason, because neither Qian Mu, nor the people behind him, nor the officials around him were reasoning with him.

People are here to find fault.

If you ignore it, maybe after the court meeting, he will be called a "hypocrite" again in the new year.

At this moment, Wang Shoufu came over, did not speak, but glanced indifferently at the surrounding officials.

The officials immediately fell silent.

Qian Mu smiled, regardless of whether Xu Xinian responded or not, what he wanted to express has already been conveyed.

After that, there was no more movement until Mao Shi came and the drums sounded.

The military officials remained silent, walked through the Meridian Gate, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and lined up in order of rank.

Only a small group of people can enter the Golden Temple.

As one of the core figures in this turmoil, Xu Xinian was also allowed to enter the hall, but he had to stand at the entrance of the hall.

Following the princes entering the palace, Emperor Yongxing arrived a few minutes later.

He sat on the dragon chair, looked down at the ministers, and said loudly:

"The disasters are serious everywhere. As the king of a country, I am very sad. Do you have a good plan for disaster relief?"

The princes and nobles below showed expressions of "knowing this earlier", and put forward a few suggestions without any pain, such as reducing or exempting taxes, calling on the gentry to donate, and so on.

Emperor Yongxing said:

"Since donations are required, the imperial court should set an example, and the lovers should set an example. In this way, the squires can be willing, and they can also warn the officials to prevent them from filling their own pockets."

Only the squires are called to donate. Not surprisingly, most of the money will be exploited layer by layer.

The leaders and nobles of several parties came out one after another in tacit understanding, shouting "no".

At this time, Dali Siqing appeared on the stage, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, there is corruption in the court, and corruption is prevalent, so that the national treasury is empty, and donations can cure the symptoms but not the root cause. If you want to relieve the disaster, you must first clean up the evil spirits."

After the voice fell, the militant, the household department came out from the matter, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Xu New Year, a concubine of the Imperial Academy, for accepting bribes."

No one in the hall spoke, and no one questioned what kind of bribes the concubine of the Imperial Academy could accept. It seemed that such a thing had been expected.

The official department came out of the matter and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Xu New Year, a concubine of the Imperial Academy, for accepting bribes under the banner of Wang Shoufu."

Then, the six departments came out one after another to impeach Xu New Year.

Those who can stand in the Golden Luan Hall are all veterans, and they immediately understand what tricks these people are playing.

This is their counterattack.

Taking Xu Erlang as the starting point, he rebelled against Emperor Yongxing and Wang Shoufu.

Doing this will not completely anger Emperor Yongxing and Wang Shoufu, but also give his own attitude and tell Emperor Yongxing, we want to kill your assault pawns, one by one.

At the same time, he tactfully warned Wang Shoufu that although the royal party is powerful, it has not yet reached the point where it can overwhelm the sky with one hand. Besides, there are voices of disapproval in the royal party.

Is there any gift for Xu New Year?

The answer is yes.

As Wang Shoufu's future son-in-law, members of the royal party often gave him gifts, but in the officialdom, he was his own if he received a gift.

He wanted to integrate into the royal party as a student of Yunlu Academy, so he couldn't be too lofty.

Although Xu New Year turned down many expensive gifts, this cannot change the fact.

"In officialdom, being clean is good enough to accomplish nothing, and being in harmony with others is easy to become a target for political opponents to attack and annihilate. Therefore, the core problem is that the power is not strong enough.

"The problem solved is: get more people."

Xu Xinnian suddenly realized.

Among the princes in the hall, some were watching Emperor Yongxing's expression, and some were examining Wang Shoufu.

See how they respond.

If Emperor Yongxing sheltered Xu Nian, they would have other tricks, and if Wang Shoufu stepped forward, they would have other tricks, such as pulling him into the water and impeaching him together.

Now they are the dominant side.

No one noticed, Liu Hong came out slowly, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I believe that what the Minister of Dali Temple said is reasonable, the treasury is empty, and taxes are difficult to collect, all because of corruption and bribery.

"Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to strictly investigate all officials and rectify the atmosphere."

Interesting...... All the ministers and nobles in the hall looked at Liu Hong together.
