Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Princess Taiping? Why is she here? Didn't King Yan refuse to come forward to provide disaster relief?"

Seeing Princess Taiping approaching with her son in her arms, hundreds of wealthy people present expressed their surprise.

Earlier, they were secretly applauding Fan Xin's trick of pretending to be sick, but they didn't expect that this guy actually sent his wife.

What is this for? Do you have too much spare money at home?

The most surprised among everyone was Li Longji.

In his impression, Fan Xin was a man who held great power and was both treacherous and loyal.

On the surface, he pretended to be tired of the court, but in fact he never stopped interfering in the government's affairs.

If the Youzhou Army hadn't captured Chen Xuanli last time, Luoyang would have been under his control.

Coupled with his relationship with Princess Taiping, Li Longji was even more afraid.

What he didn't expect was that Fan Xin didn't see the joke this time, but sent his wife instead.

"Auntie, you deliberately stopped Gao Lishi, maybe you also wanted to do your part?"

Regardless of the relationship between the two, disaster relief must be the top priority at this juncture. "

Princess Taiping came to Li Longji and gave her a blessing.

"Your Majesty, since you left Prince Yan's Mansion, my husband has been thinking about the people of Henan Province."

"I specially asked you to do something within your ability. I heard that you called on all officials to donate money."

"We at Zhonglie Mansion also want to do our part."

Li Longji nodded happily.

"Prince Yan is interested. I wonder how much money your Zhonglie Mansion wants to donate?"

Scanning the crowd, Princess Taiping smiled slightly when she saw everyone looking at her eagerly.

"Your Majesty, our Zhonglie Mansion is willing to donate 2,000 guan of bronze, 2,000 bolts of cotton, 2,000 jin of medicinal materials, and 2,000 tents."

As soon as these words came out, all the kings and ministers present were stunned.

Originally, they thought that with Princess Taiping's strength, they would have to donate tens of thousands of coins.

Unexpectedly, he only donated a mere two thousand guan, not even as much as the donations from several ministers.

"Hey, how much should I donate? I even stopped Eunuch Gao specifically. It turns out it's only two thousand guan."

"Yes, your Zhonglie Mansion is sitting on tens of millions of copper coins. Isn't it too rich?"

Instructing the ministers to shut up, Li Longji said coldly with a straight face.

"Go back and tell Fan Xin that I, Li Longji, thank his whole family!"

"let's go!"

In Li Longji's view, these two thousand strings were not so much a disaster relief as a mockery of him.

What can two thousand strings do? It's not enough for the horse named Heifeng in Prince Yan's mansion to drink wine for a year.

However, just when Li Longji was about to lead his ministers to leave.

Princess Taiping stopped with a smile.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, do you still have something to say?"

Glancing at her, Li Longji said patiently.

"Auntie, please speak!"

While everyone was watching, Princess Taiping pulled out an account book.

"Your Majesty, after hearing that you called on everyone to donate, Luoyang Store has specially prepared 100,000 copper coins for disaster relief!"

After hearing these words, everyone present took a deep breath.

No one expected that the famous Luoyang Chamber of Commerce in Luoyang would be willing to spend so much money.

This is incredible!

However, before everyone could recover, Princess Taiping's next words shocked them even more.

"This time the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce will not only give out 100,000 copper coins, but also 20,000 kilograms of medicinal materials, 20,000 pieces of cotton cloth, and 20,000 tents!"

Quiet, the scene was deathly quiet, everyone stared blankly at Princess Taiping.

The only sound left at Nuoda's ruins was the sound of the lapping river.

a long time.

Yao Chong was the first to stand up and trembled in disbelief.

"Your Highness, the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce has been famous for a long time. You are not afraid of doing this..."

Princess Taiping smiled and shook her head, interrupting.

"Prime Minister Yao misunderstood. The reason why the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce donated so generously this time is entirely thanks to Your Majesty!"

"I?"

Li Longji pointed at himself, a little confused.

Princess Taiping smiled.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is a royal family in the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce. It will naturally be passed on to you after the death of the Supreme Emperor."

Looking at the surprised eyes of everyone, Li Longji was even more confused.

Said subconsciously.

"But I didn't decree to donate so many things?"

"It's my decree!" The crowd parted and Queen Wang, dressed in plain clothes, came closer.

"Your Majesty, you said last night that you would give the people of the world a prosperous age!"

"For this reason, I would rather donate the profits earned by the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce. Have you forgotten?"

Facing the expectant eyes of his wife and everyone, Li Longji was very excited.

Loudly.

"I remembered that it is indeed my will to donate the profits earned by the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce."

"I want to give the people of this world a peaceful and prosperous era in my lifetime!"

The words fell.

From the civil and military officials to the people affected by the disaster, they all spontaneously knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live our emperor, long live, long live!"

Looking at his subjects kneeling like waves of wheat, Li Longji had never been so happy as he is now.

He flicked his sleeves and robe and said energetically.

"Let's go and inspect the affected people together!"

At night, Jing'an Palace.

Li Longji, who had been inspecting for a day, was lying on the bed with his hands behind his head and a smile.

Glancing at him, Queen Wang smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, are you still thinking about what happened during the day?"

"Yes, I have never been so happy. It's exciting just thinking about it."

Leaning her head on Li Longji's arms, Queen Wang sighed.

"Thanks to Fan Xin this time, he gave up so much profit in order to win over the people. It seems that he really has no objection."

Li Longji frowned slightly when he mentioned Fan Xin.

"Why, you still doubt his thoughts now?" Queen Wang was a little surprised.

Li Longji sighed.

"I have never doubted his ability. It is no exaggeration to say that only Li Jing, Du Ruhui and his like can match him in the Tang Dynasty.

"But it is precisely because of this that I dare not trust him."

"Because he is too proud. He looks humble on the surface, but in fact he doesn't pay attention to anyone except the royal grandmother."

"Including me, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, do you believe that if I smashed Qianling with my front foot, he would dare to destroy the Tang Dynasty with his back foot?"

Queen Wang didn't expect that Fan Xin was so arrogant that even the current emperor didn't take him seriously.

I didn't expect that the bad blood between the two of them was so deep, so deep that they could go to war with each other at any time.

"Oh, no wonder you are always wary of him. If you were a concubine, it would be difficult for you to live in bed."

"But this is not the way to go for a long time. How about I find a time to talk to him."

"This will be good for both you and the court."

Li Longji nodded and looked at Queen Wang in his arms.

"Don't go in my name, otherwise the world will think that I was the first to submit."
