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

Seeing that the ministers had stopped talking, Xuanyuan Yin suppressed the anger in her heart and mocked: "Concubine Ning cares about the people of Huainan and sets an example by donating both silver and food. Just one person can do more than all of you. Do you think Ashamed?"

After hearing Xuanyuan Yin's words, the ministers bowed their heads even deeper, and they all kept silent and did not dare to say anything, for fear that they would say the wrong thing and offend Xuanyuan Yin.

"What, didn't you just argue with reason? Why are you all silent now? There are so many people in your family. Mr. Wei, since your family has so many people, then your concubines and side rooms should be sold. If you don't have enough money, I'll send someone to check where your salary is being spent. You all go to Shen's Shopping Mall more frequently than anyone else, and yet you're calling me poor?"

After Xuanyuan Yin finished speaking, he glanced at the kneeling ministers and saw cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads. They were all frightened by Xuanyuan Yin.

Xuanyuan Yin slowed down and then said: "Since you all have nothing to say, I will say this. This time I will set a minimum standard for donating food to Huainan. Anyone who only donates silver must have no less." The amount is ten thousand taels of silver, and those who donate food must not be less than one thousand dan. My dear friends, may you have any objections."

Xuanyuan Yin seemed to be asking the ministers for their opinions, but no one dared to refute.

Now the ministers dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and they all replied quickly: "I obey the order." They replied very quickly, for fear that if they were a little late, they would anger Xuanyuan Yin again.

Xuanyuan Yin was finally satisfied. Seeing that things were almost over, he withdrew from the court.

When Xuanyuan Yin arrived at the imperial study, he and Chu Yanzhou were the only two people in the imperial study.

Xuanyuan Yin sat on the dragon chair, smashed the table with his right fist, and said angrily: "There are many concubines in Mr. Wei's house. He has money to take concubines but no money to donate. Why are you crying for me here? I should chop off his head." Serve as a warning to others.”

"Emperor calm down!"

"The ministers all have money in their hands, but no one is willing to spend more. However, the emperor's anger in the court also shocked them. Presumably these ministers have shed some blood this time. The disaster in Huainan can not only be alleviated , the national treasury is also full.”

Xuanyuan Yin's face looked better after hearing this, and he said again: "Prime Minister Chu, send someone to watch. Those ministers with high salaries, if they donate less this time, they must be investigated carefully by me. I ask myself whether They are not thin, and they must have gained a lot of salary in their hands over the years. Otherwise, no one can go to Shen's shopping mall and spend a lot of money, especially those ministers who give their wives and concubines every time they go. It costs thousands of taels of silver for one flower, but I don't feel bad about it, but I can't bear to let them help the people. It's really a waste to be loved by the people."

Chu Yanzhou knew the reason why Xuanyuan Yin was so angry this time. If the ministers really had no money, Xuanyuan Yin would not be angry. But on the contrary, these ministers all had a lot of money, but none of them wanted to give up more. Donate a little, even ten thousand taels of silver, it's not a big deal.

But the highest minister donated only two thousand taels of silver, which made Xuanyuan Yin furious.

"Prime Minister Chu, since we have made a donation this time, tell us who else in the Canglan Kingdom has the most money besides the minister and Concubine Ning."

Xuanyuan Yin thought about the emptiness of the treasury, so he thought of taking this opportunity to make more donations to fill the treasury. After all, if the treasury remained so empty, it would be a big problem.

Chu Yanzhou thought for a while and then said: "Back to the emperor, I believe that the richest people in Canglan Kingdom are none other than King Haonan and King Xiaoyao."

"King Haonan, King Xiaoyao?"

Xuanyuan Yin repeated these two names. His two imperial uncles were indeed very powerful.

King Haonan and King Xiaoyao, as the most favored princes in the past, especially King Xiaoyao, not only often received rewards, but his mother's family was even richer, so he left more money to him.

Now both of them are in fiefdoms in various places. They must have lived a very wealthy life over the years. They may have more money than the imperial court!

"Hmph! Why have I forgotten these two good uncles? These two emperors of mine are extremely rich. Especially the palace of King Xiaoyao can be said to be a mountain of gold and silver."

After hearing this, Chu Yanzhou also smiled and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, these two people, King Haonan and King Xiaoyao, are really rich. Why don't we take this opportunity to ask King Haonan and King Xiaoyao to donate money? I'm sure they won't refuse." of."

Xuanyuan Yin nodded after hearing Chu Yanzhou's proposal. He had exactly what he meant. In fact, Xuanyuan Yin was a little afraid of King Haonan and King Xiaoyao.

Although Xuanyuan is not afraid of the two of them, they have soldiers and horses in their hands. Coupled with their wealth, Xuanyuan Yin is also worried that the two of them will be rebellious.

Especially King Xiaoyao, who often opposed him, which gave Xuanyuan Yin a headache, but he couldn't touch him like he did with other princes.

Just because King Xiaoyao has a death-free gold medal in his hand, but if he can take this opportunity to kill two people, it seems to be very good.

"King Xiaoyao's territory, Jiangdu, is already rich. I'm afraid his family property is richer than my treasury. Since King Haonan and King Xiaoyao are both members of the Canglan Kingdom, they should contribute to the Canglan Kingdom." Do your part.”

"Your Majesty!"

Chu Yanzhou knew Xuanyuan Yin's thoughts, and it was indeed a happy thing for Xuanyuan Yin to get King Haonan and King Xiaoyao to donate money through the drought in Huainan.

After saying that, Xuanyuan Yin picked up the brush beside him and quickly wrote two memorials.

After the memorial was written, Xuanyuan Yin said: "Prime Minister Chu, please order people to hurry up and send these two memorials to Xunyi and Jiangdu respectively, so that King Haonan and King Xiaoyao can donate money and food."

"Yes, I obey the order!" Chu Yanzhou said respectfully after taking the memorial.

the other side.

After the concubines in the harem heard about the drought in Huainan and learned that Yun Sanluo had taken the lead in donating money, the Queen Mother summoned the concubines and donated money together.

The other concubines happily donated money and said they were happy to be able to do something for the people of Huainan.

Only Yun Wanrou was unhappy. After paying off the money, she said she felt unwell and immediately returned to her bedroom.

After Yun Wanrou returned to her bedroom, she began to curse: "Yun Sanluo, you bitch, why are you pretending to be a leader? If you want to donate money, just donate it, and you have to make it known to everyone. You are so majestic!"

Yun Wanrou is different from the past today. Since everyone in the Grand Scholar's Palace was imprisoned, Du Yun was also imprisoned by Yunkai. Yun Wanrou has lost her backer. Fortunately, she is still the legitimate daughter of the General's Palace. The matter has not yet involved her, otherwise she would have to keep her tail between her legs.

But now Yun Wanrou is worried every day. After all, the emperor has not yet dealt with the people from the Grand Master's House. Yun Wanrou is now afraid that she will be implicated because of Du Yun and Du Yuan.
