After the palace maid's counterattack, the tyrant was fascinated

Xuanyuan Yin felt warm after hearing Yun Sanluo's words. No one had ever put himself in his shoes. As the king of a country, no one would consider his difficulties. Only Yun Sanluo really helped him solve them.

After Yun Sangluo proposed to donate money for disaster relief, he then said: "Your Majesty, the area affected by the disaster in Huainan this time is relatively large. The money I contributed is probably only a drop in the bucket, and the national treasury is empty at the moment. How about we use the name of disaster relief to How about organizing a donation? Let officials of all sizes in the DPRK and China donate money and food."

Yun Sanluo made a suggestion, and Xuanyuan Yin thought deeply: "Donating is not a problem."

After saying this, Xuanyuan's eyes flashed with light, and he secretly thought that this is a way. Although the treasury is empty, there are many ministers who are extremely rich. It is true that Yun Sanluo's method can be used to alleviate the problem. burden on the treasury.

In fact, the main reason why Canglan Kingdom's treasury was empty was that all the money was spent on war, and there were people operating secretly. Xuanyuan Yin only discovered this later.

The next day.

In the court, Xuanyuan Yin looked at the civil and military officials and said, "All your beloved ministers must have heard about the drought in Huainan. The court had opened warehouses to release grain before, but the problem in Huainan was serious, and the disaster relief money was quickly exhausted. Now the people are lamenting and complaining, I believe that all the beloved ladies have a compassionate heart and definitely do not want to see the common people suffer, so I have decided to organize a donation. All beloved ladies can actively participate, whether it is donations or food. , I believe that all my dear friends will participate!"

Xuanyuan Yin spoke loudly. Although he did not force the ministers to donate money and food, how could the ministers not understand the meaning of Xuanyuan Yin's words? If someone dared not to participate, I am afraid Xuanyuan Yin would find an excuse and punish him.

But as soon as the ministers heard that they were asked to donate money and food, they immediately started an uproar in the court. For fear of damaging their own interests, some ministers stood up.

"Your Majesty, the large number of people in the old minister's family will cost a lot of money. I'm afraid I can only do a small amount by donating food this time."

Xuanyuan Yin looked at the minister who stood up and smiled: "Master Wei, how much do you plan to donate?"

Master Wei thought for a while and said, "Back to the emperor, I plan to donate a thousand taels of silver!"

"A thousand taels of silver?" Xuanyuan Yin gritted his teeth and said. The Master Wei in front of him was in the second rank and his annual salary was a lot of silver. Now it's time for him to contribute to the court, but he only donated one thousand taels of silver. One thousand taels of silver is so generous!

"How much do the other beloved ladies plan to donate?"

Xuanyuan Yin asked other people again, suppressing the anger in his heart. After the ministers heard Xuanyuan Yin's question, another minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am donating one thousand taels of silver, and I am donating one hundred stones of food! "

"Your Majesty, I donate one thousand five hundred taels of silver!"

"I am willing to donate two thousand taels of silver!"

"..."

The ministers stood up one after another and reported the money and food they wanted to donate. After Xuanyuan Yin heard the money and food donated by the ministers, they were really more generous than the others. The most was only two thousand taels of silver, and each time they went there one When I go to Shen's shopping mall, I spend much more money than I donate. These are his good ministers, all of whom are very stingy.

Xuanyuan Yin suddenly became furious and yelled: "Okay, shut up!"

"Look at how stingy you are. I usually give you a lot of salary, but now I ask you to give some of it for disaster relief. You are all making a lot of excuses. The money and food you pay are not enough to fill your teeth. Sewn."

"You are simply serving as parents in vain. You have read the books of sages for so many years, but you have no kindness at all and only care about your own interests. Is it possible that the lives of the people in the world are so unworthy of mention in your eyes? ?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

When the ministers saw that Xuanyuan Yin had been offended, they all knelt on the ground. Everyone's face was frightened, and they were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat.

They knew that Xuanyuan Yin was really angry this time. The last time Xuanyuan Yin was so angry, he still found out that some ministers had embezzled the court's disaster relief food, so he was so angry that he beheaded three ministers. The whole court was trembling with fear. .

But now Xuanyuan Yin's expression was exactly the same as before. The ministers were kneeling on the ground, not daring to take a breath.

You must know that if Xuanyuan Yin is angry, someone will be beheaded, and Xuanyuan Yin does not need a reason to behead people.

After all, when Xuanyuan Yin first ascended the throne, in order to remove all obstacles, he was a monarch who could even kill his limbs. This shocked the court and the world, but he also earned the title of tyrant.

Although Xuanyuan Yin was privately called a tyrant, he loved the people very much. After he ascended the throne, he lowered taxes. In the eyes of the people, he was also a benevolent king who worked hard and loved the people.

Therefore, after Xuanyuan Yin saw the suffering of the people, he naturally cared about the people.

But the ministers in the court actually resisted when the people needed their contribution.

The ministers all knew the reason for Xuanyuan Yin's rage, and they all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

It was Chu Yanzhou who wanted to calm down Xuanyuan Yin's anger and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I think all the ministers must have said the wrong thing just now. They will definitely do their best to help the people!"

With Chu Yanzhou saying good things, Minister Wei who just now had the courage to say: "Yes, Your Majesty, what I just said is true, but the people in Huainan are suffering. I would rather starve myself than starve the people. Please donate a little."

"Yes, Your Majesty, let's all donate more!"

"But Your Majesty, I feel that we ministers have so many people in our families and so many places to use money that we really can't come up with more money. But Concubine Ning is different. She opened Shen's Shopping Mall, and every day Making money every day, I feel that Concubine Ning should take the lead in donating food this time, so that not only can the people of Huainan be appeased, but Concubine Ning's strength will also contribute to the imperial court."

After other ministers heard this, they immediately agreed: "I agree, Concubine Ning should contribute!"

Minister Wei wanted to shift the blame and brought the topic to Yun Sangluo, but unexpectedly he shot himself in the foot.

Xuanyuan Yin snorted coldly and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. Concubine Ning has already donated money and food. She cares about the people affected by the disaster in Huainan. She not only donated 100,000 taels of silver, but also I have donated two thousand stones of food, do you have anything you would like to say?"

After hearing Xuanyuan Yin's words, the ministers looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect Yun Sanluo to donate so much. They all stared at each other, so ashamed that they didn't know what to say.
