But looking at the delicious food and wine on the table in front of him, he really couldn't eat and drink anymore.

Li Shimin and the officials couldn't understand that Xu Maogong was angry because they had no money to fight, but they had money to eat.

unexpectedly.

Xu Maogong said: "Your Majesty, the veteran came here this time not to lose his temper, nor to prevent His Majesty and all the ministers from drinking and having fun, but just want to take this opportunity to announce something!"

"The minister is definitely not asking His Majesty a question, but not solving it!"

When he said this, his face became serious.

Everyone stared at him, wanting to see what Xu Maogong wanted to do.

Hearing Xu Maogong's words, he said solemnly: "The veteran decided to donate one-third of his family property to the soldiers of Mobei."

hiss!

Everyone gasped, their eyes were shocked and incredible.

Even Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who had a good relationship with Xu Maogong, were all dumbfounded.

They got acquainted with Xu Maogong, and only then did they understand Xu Maogong's character. He was afraid of being poor since he was a child, he was tactful, and he was very money-saving!

Not to mention donating one-third of the family's wealth, Su Chen had forced donations twice before, and other ministers and princes all donated a thousand taels of silver.

Xu Maogong only donated 100 taels on the grounds that his family was poor, and became the laughing stock of Chang'an for a while.

However, Xu Maogong didn't care.

Such a miser and miser wants to donate one-third of his family's wealth? !

Li Shimin was dumbfounded, and said: "Mr. Ying, don't talk nonsense. If you donate one third of your family wealth, how much should it be..."

He wanted to remind Xu Maogong that it would be shameful to donate one-third of the donation in such a righteous way, and then only take out a few hundred taels of silver.

Cheng Yaojin also wanted to persuade.

But Xu Maogong said directly: "Your Majesty, the veteran's family has millions of dollars, if you take out one-third, it will be worth at least one million taels of silver!"

hiss!

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

Cheng Yaojin was even more dumbfounded.

Everyone was shocked.

Does Xu Maogong have millions of silver wealth? !

Absolutely!

The wealth of Xu Maogong, who has been the Duke of the two dynasties and has no access but no exit, is absolutely incalculable.

The officials and Li Shimin were not shocked by Xu Maogong's wealth, but were shocked by Xu Maogong's willingness to reveal all his wealth and donate one-third of it!

Unbelievable.

Li Shimin said: "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Xu Maogong took out another stack of documents, and said: "Your Majesty, this is part of the old minister's family property. The rest of the old minister will sort it out and present it to His Majesty when he returns home!"

Li Shimin was stunned, and said, "Why are you like this?!"

Xu Maogong was actually very reluctant, but he still said righteously: "Your Majesty, this old minister is dedicated to serving the public, the country and the people!"

Li Shimin was completely stunned, he got up quickly, stepped forward seriously, helped Xu Maogong up, and sat beside him.

"My lord, I misunderstood you before, please accept my worship!"

He bowed his hands to Xu Maogong.

Xu Maogong hurriedly got up to return the gift, but he didn't dare to take it too seriously.

The faces of all the ministers were very bright, and the faces of those eminent monks who talked so much were also ugly.

They drank and had fun, and Xu Maogong donated their family property.

Judgment high and low.

Xu Maogong swept them all to death!

however.

This is not over yet.

Before Li Shimin could say thank you, Xu Maogong took out the memorial again.

"Your Majesty, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the famine in the south, I can't eat or drink!"

Chapter 276

"This……"

Li Shimin's face was a little ugly, and the faces of other ministers were also not good-looking.

Great day to say these spoilers.

Needless to say, Buddhists, only Xuanzang, a Buddhist who is truly compassionate, is compassionate.

but.

Facing the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the famine in the south, even he can only recite a few Buddhist scriptures and has no other way.

Donate money and goods?

He wanted to, but he was not the head of the White Horse Temple and Shaoqing Temple, and his personal wealth was actually nonexistent.

So he really can't offer any real help.

It is impossible for other monks to use their own wealth to solve the problem, so when Xu Maogong just said that he would donate one third of his family property to Goguryeo, they all chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Don't blame them, the other ministers didn't respond either.

Even Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong and others are just like this.

It was Jin Wang Li Zhi who stood up at this time and said: "Father, the ministers are also worried about the south and Jiangnan all day long, but they just can't bear to disturb the elegance of father and ministers."

"Now the British official mentioned that if there is no confirmation of these two matters, the son will not eat it, so let's go down and think about countermeasures."

Xu Maogong took the lead in worrying about the country and the people. Even if the other ministers wanted to relax, they had to express their attitude at this time.

"Your Majesty, I will not eat or drink, but I will serve the country and the people."

"Your Majesty, the ministers will second the proposal."

"My minister agrees."

More and more ministers have come forward, and even some supporters of Buddhism have to express their views.

Only Buddhists have ugly faces.

Today's banquet was held to celebrate the complete success of their Buddhist Association, but now it is done like this, where will they be placed? !

Is it really like singing backyard flowers across the river?

Li Shimin sees that the ministers are so caring. He himself is an ambitious and wise king who cares about the country and the people.

Immediately corrected his attitude, "Go and invite Wei Xiang and the others. Since you all have the heart, I can't chill the hearts of the people in the world."

"If I can't come up with this today, I won't sleep. If you want to go back, you can go back directly."

The ministers of civil and military all smiled bitterly, the emperor didn't sleep, can they go back to sleep?

If you really go back, you won't use it anymore.

Xu Maogong was very satisfied. He had to say these words under such circumstances to attract attention. Otherwise, it would take at least half a month to come up with countermeasures in the court.

soon.

Wei Zheng's grandson Wuji and other veterans who were arranged to rest at home due to old age all showed up one after another, and they seemed to have heard what happened along the way.

After appearing, they all expressed shock and admiration towards Xu Maogong. Obviously, they didn't expect Xu Maogong to have such courage and concern for the country and the people.

Wei Zheng said: "Mr. Ying, is there a solution to the problem you raised?"

Xu Maogong said: "No."

Wei Zheng frowned, and the other ministers also frowned.

They are all speechless, ask questions, and don't give solutions to the problems, this is too stupid!

The good reputation belongs to you, but we are the ones who are exhausted? !

Many people were slandering in their hearts, but what Xu Maogong said next left them speechless.

Xu Maogong said: "This old man is not good at governing the country, but he understands one thing, that is, money can turn ghosts around. Whether it is flood or famine, the last thing we need is money and food."

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Indeed."

Tang Jian said: "However, we don't have much money."

The Minister of the Household Department said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs can't spend much money anymore, or else let the local people raise it themselves."

Tang Jian snorted, "Self-financed again? The local area has been hit by a disaster, where else can I get the money?"

Soon, there was a quarrel at the imperial garden banquet.

In fact, this situation has often happened these days, because the disaster has already happened, and they are all discussing countermeasures.

However, apart from some people arranged by the emperor to provide disaster relief at the beginning, there has been no follow-up on how to solve other major disasters.

It is because the opinions of civil and military ministers have always disagreed. The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right.

Li Shimin couldn't make up his mind, so he could only ask people to bring some money and food to the disaster relief, and arrange some soldiers and civilians to help themselves.

Other major plans still want to be discussed.

At this time, Li Shimin was having a headache. Xu Maogong disturbed the banquet that was so unbearable. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to get into a Buddhist relationship.

After all, the Buddhist Maitreya Buddha appeared holy, and let Xuanzang go to the west to learn scriptures, which is very important.

If it is done, Datang will benefit endlessly.

As the emperor, although Li Shimin was very optimistic about Su Chen, he didn't want to hang himself from a tree.

However, the banquet was destroyed at this time, and the court master and monks had to stay away.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin felt very headache and helpless.

He can't blame Xu Maogong for this, because he is for the country and the people.

Just when everyone was still arguing, Xu Mao opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Li Shimin said: "Please speak up if you have something to say about the British public."

Xu Maogong said: "I still say the same thing, money can turn ghosts."

Li Shimin smiled wryly: "But, there is no money now."

Xu Maogong said: "I have."

Ok? !

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was stunned.

Li Shimin was also stunned.

Xu Maogong continued: "I just donated one-third of the family property, and two-thirds of the family property. These also have two or three million taels of silver!"

hiss!

Li Shimin gasped.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was even more stunned.

Everyone was dumbfounded. At this moment, Xu Maogong felt stupid.

They don't think Xu Maogong is so noble, they just think Xu Maogong is a fool.

It's nothing more than donating money and goods, donating all your wealth.

Is it worth it? !

Only Wei Zheng frowned thoughtfully.

The next moment, Wei Zheng also spoke, saying: "Your Majesty, I also have a net worth of [-], and I am willing to give it all to save the common people in the world."
