"Wei Chen is a minister of Wan Jin. Now that there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, Wei Chen also wants to fulfill his responsibilities as a minister. He has provided fifteen thousand taels of silver for support and asked His Highness the Crown Prince to send people to the south of the Yangtze River."

Shangguan Xiaolin's words actually spoke on behalf of the entire Shangguan family. Which one of the eldest princess and the consort, Shangguan Xiaolin and Gu Feier, Shi Xu, Yi'an, and Shi Qing seemed to be short of money?

"Since Master is willing, I won't stop him." Chengjue waved his hand and asked Shangguan Xiaolin to get up.

Although Shangguan Xiaolin is the master who watched Chengjue grow up, in the court, he is the emperor and his ministers. When it is time to salute, Shangguan Xiaolin must salute.

"Your Highness, the humble ministers are also willing to spend money to help the people."

"Wei Chen is also willing."

"Wei Chen is also willing."

More than a dozen officials, headed by Prime Minister Gu Wenkang, knelt down one after another, including several officials Chengjue trusted.

"Brother Emperor." Chengze, Chengyuan and Chengrui also knelt down, wanting to do their part for the people.

"I'm very touched that you can do this." Chengjue put his hands behind his back, took two steps forward, and continued, "In this case, why don't Xiaoze and Yuan'er compile two lists and see how many of them you have paid?" How about remembering the silver clearly, and presenting one copy to the father for inspection, and the other to the officials in Jiangnan, so that it can be conveniently counted?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise." The officials said one after another.

Chengjue tilted his head and ordered, "Xiao Dazi, go prepare the pen and ink, and then open the door of the Jinluan Palace. After the matter is discussed, you adults can leave on your own."

"I obey the order." Xiao Dazi took the fly whisk and directed everything in an orderly manner. He first brought the pen and ink, and then ordered the two young chamberlains to open the door of the Jinluan Palace.

Chengze and Chengyuan have already begun to record how much money each person has to pay, first the prince Chengjue, then the princes, and then the first-rank ministers in the court.

The door of Jinluan Palace has been opened, and the officials really want to leave, but looking at the situation, His Royal Highness the Prince is standing under the golden steps, and his personal servant Xiao Dazi is guarding the door of Jinluan Palace. Who dares to leave without giving money? Doesn’t this mean you don’t want your own black gauze hat?

Some officials really didn't want to get money, so they thought about how the impeachment of His Highness the Crown Prince was carried out vigorously and resolutely in the Jinluan Palace. However, they raised their eyes and looked at the situation in the court. Now several important ministers are already under the influence of His Highness the Crown Prince, plus His Majesty. He also attaches great importance to His Highness the Crown Prince. Moreover, the donation of money is voluntary. Impeaching His Highness the Crown Prince now is tantamount to striking an egg with an egg, so he has to give up.

His Majesty's situation is unknown now. His Highness the Crown Prince is the new king in the future. How dare they dare to directly oppose the new king and just take the money.

Today's morning session was particularly long. By the time Chengze and Chengyuan finished sorting out the list, it was already an hour later.

Chengjue was very satisfied when he saw that the officials had more or less taken out the money, and he led the people directly out of the Jinluan Palace.

Before Chengjue and others arrived at the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Yinde woke up, and Queen Su Qingyao was guarding them at that time.

In order to show her thoughtfulness, Su Qingyao stayed up all night, even skipping greetings in the morning.

Emperor Yinde opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Su Qingyao holding his hand and sitting beside the bed.

"Husband, are you awake?" Su Qingyao was delighted, and then slowly helped Emperor Yin De sit up.

Upon seeing this, Li Fuhai immediately ordered the young eunuchs to bring some meals.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Emperor Yinde pressed his temples and felt that his head was still groggy.

"Your Majesty, you have been sleeping for almost ten hours, and the morning court is almost over." Su Qingyao said, putting a spoonful of meat porridge into Emperor Yinde's mouth.

Emperor Yinde's face remained silent, but his heart sank slightly. The morning court was not over yet. Could it be that Chengjue was presiding over it?

"Your Majesty, eat some more." Su Qingyao said and fed Emperor Yin De a few more mouthfuls of meat porridge.

Seeing Su Qingyao serving him so seriously, Emperor Yinde closed his eyes. He was afraid that Chengjue would take the wrong path and put his prince's power above that of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince have arrived." Xiao Nanzi reported at the door of the dormitory.

"Pass it in." Emperor Yin De's voice was a little heavy, and his anger was a little revealed. Su Qingyao had a clear view of it all.

"My son, I bow to my father, and to my mother." Chengjue and Chengze came in to pay homage to the emperor and empress.

Emperor Yinde put away his previous emotions and waved to them, "Get up and get closer."

"Did anything big happen in the morning?"

Chengjue reported back, "Returning to my father, I didn't read the memorial that the adults presented, so I don't know what happened."

"I came here so late today because I told you in the morning that I wanted to use money to help the refugees. You adults also wanted to share your worries for your father, so I and my brothers compiled a list." As he said this, he said respectfully. He knelt in front of Emperor Yinde's bed and presented the list, "Father, please take a look."

Emperor Yinde opened the list and saw that the money provided by the ministers was enough to save the people, and there was no need for the court to take money.

"Okay, okay." Emperor Yinde nodded heavily. He didn't have much strength in his body, but he still insisted on helping Chengjue stand up.

"You did a good job in this matter. This solved a big problem for me." Emperor Yinde also patted Chengjue on the shoulder and asked him to sit in front of him. It seemed that he had just woken up and was really confused. , Chengjue has been the most filial since he was a child, how could he do anything outrageous?

"Father, this is not my own merit. Yuan'er, Xiao Rui and Shi Xu went to the houses of the adults to collect money. We still need an adult to comfort the refugees. They are the great contributors." Chengjue said modestly. said.

"In your opinion, who is the right person for me to send?" Emperor Yinde took Chengjue's hand, "After all, I still have to rest. If you want to supervise the country, you can still make the decision on this matter."

Chengjue still had some fear on his face. Seeing Emperor Yin De's insistence, he said, "Yuan Er went out last year and did very well. I think we should give Yuan Er another chance to go out and exercise."

Emperor Yinde heard this and nodded, "Then let Yuan'er go again."

In the afternoon, Emperor Yinde directly issued an imperial edict, and Prince Chengjue was appointed to supervise the country and have full power to handle state affairs.

After all, he needs to rest, and state affairs cannot be delayed. Chengyuan needs to exercise, and so does Chengjue.

And Chengyuan, with the money of the officials and the expectations of Emperor Yinde and Prince Chengjue, once again embarked on a long journey.

Emperor Yinde lay on the bed for more than a month. After all, Li Yuan said that the dragon body needed to recover slowly, and there was no rush. Seeing Chengjue gradually handling state affairs smoothly, Emperor Yinde felt relieved.
