The theme of this meeting is "snow disaster". Since the beginning of winter, the temperature has dropped sharply.
Affected by the cold wave, families who could barely make a living by tightening their belts had to spend more money on charcoal, cotton padded clothes and other materials.
But for the poor farmers, one year's income is so small, and their food and clothing needs to be carefully calculated.
If you spend money on charcoal and cotton padded clothes, it means you don't have money to buy rice.
Many poor people have not been able to survive this winter, and the loss of population is countless.
One after another, the imperial court received a series of awards from the local government, which used "ten villages do not leave one family" to describe the terrible situation of the disaster...
The Minister of Dali Temple immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, you can ask the Ministry of household to mobilize money and food for disaster relief. If the people are short of food and clothing and can't survive the winter, they will turn into refugees.
"People who have been ransacked by refugees will also become refugees. If the disaster can not be settled as soon as possible, there will be a great disaster."
Before emperor Yongxing spoke, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs came out in a panic and said in a high voice:
"Your Majesty, the Treasury is empty. You really can't give us any extra money and food for disaster relief. Please think twice."
Every year's disaster relief time, for him, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, is a storm that shakes the official hat.
Sure enough, the Ministry of the Ministry of the people's Republic of China rushed out to mend the sword:
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Minister of the Ministry of the people's Republic of China for using his power for personal gain, embezzling and bending the law, and sucking the marrow of the imperial court with his party members, so that the Treasury is empty."
Hubu Shangshu knelt down and said in a loud voice: "I beg for bones!"
Emperor Yongxing's mouth twitched violently and looked down on the ministers without expression.
Party fight, Party fight!
Today, it's still a party struggle!
It was you, who only knew how to fight in the dark, who united with the former Emperor to make a living for the people who suffered from the disaster......
emperor Yongxing clenched his hand in his sleeve and said with a gentle smile:
"I told you yesterday that the disaster was serious. When the emperor and his ministers were united and discussed the countermeasures, you Aiqing would stop."
Hubu Shangshu and others immediately stopped.
Emperor Yongxing nodded with satisfaction, and said in a loud voice, "how about all the granaries?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of household said: "all the warehouses have been opened for disaster relief. Just, just during the autumn harvest, the imperial court had a fight with the Shamanism, which greatly damaged its vitality. Grain and grass were collected from all over the country that day. As a result, there is not enough grain in local granaries. "
Emperor Yongxing thought about it and said, "what about Guancang?"
As the voice fell, all the officials in the hall looked at each other. Liu Hong, the right censor, stepped out and said, "Your Majesty can't do it. If you want to stabilize the situation and let the petty officials and officials act normally, the official storehouse can't move."
The granary is designed for disaster relief in famine years.
The official positions are paid to the officials.
If the imperial court doesn't pay, it's a real chaos.
Emperor Yongxing's face sank: "what good strategy does Liu Aiqing have?"
Liu Hong pondered: "the northern demons still owe the imperial court countless furs, salt and iron ores. Your majesty can send envoys to the Northern Territory to ask for them."
As soon as emperor Yongxing's eyes brightened, the princes at the bottom also talked about it. However, Wang Shoufu stepped out of the formation and bowed to him: "this is not a matter!"
Zhugong immediately retorted:
"why not?"
"I think Mr. Liu's plan is very good."
"Yes, there are lots of demons, cattle and sheep, with countless fur. They can keep out the cold and solve the urgent needs of the imperial court."
Wang Shoufu patiently waited for all the princes to finish, and then he continued:
"the oath was drawn up on that day by Xu Xinnian, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, who was in charge of the writing and supervised by the minister himself. It is written in black and white that the furs, cattle and sheep that yaoman gave Dafeng were three years later. Let them fulfill the contract now... "
Wang Shoufu didn't go on, but the princes understood.
This is forcing demon man and Dafeng to turn against each other.
Emperor Yongxing was a little fidgety and asked, "what's the best plan for the chief assistant?"
Wang Shoufu sighed in his heart. Even if he didn't look back, he could feel the burning gaze behind him.
As a leader and assistant, he could not avoid some things, so he said in a deep voice:
"although the National Treasury is empty, there are rich people in and out of the capital, even in the Central Plains. Your majesty can call on the volunteers to donate money."
Here comes... My heart sank.
As a matter of fact, as early as a few days ago, there was a rumor in Beijing that his majesty wanted to call for donations to fill the void of the national treasury and cut flesh from them.
It was at this moment that emperor Yongxing and others began to laugh:
"this method is wonderful. How do you think Shoufu should call for it?"
Wang Shoufu said: "when the public take the lead in donating, the minister is willing to donate half of his family wealth to the victims."
When this remark came out, all the officials in the hall were in an uproar.
Several members of the Wang party and the former Wei party responded immediately, saying that like Wang Shoufu, they would donate half of their wealth to fill the national treasury.But more ministers are against it.
"Your Majesty, this is not the case."
"We've got nothing to do and we're barely living. How can we get rich?"
"It's like cutting meat for businessmen to make donations. It's bound to cause an uproar."
"The National Treasury is empty, so we can't publicize it, and let the sorcerer know that there may be war. At the same time, we should let the people know that the court is strong outside but strong in the middle. At that time, the refugees will become bandits, and there will be endless disasters. "
On hearing the emperor's call for donations, Wang Shoufu took the lead in donating half of his family's wealth. The public had a great response and stood in the same camp with great tacit understanding.
Even if they are like a raging fire on weekdays.
Emperor Yongxing raised his hand to calm the noise of the ministers.
This is the imperial study, not the Jinluan palace. There is no eunuch waving his whip.
After all the police were quiet, he looked at the Minister of Dali temple and said:
"what's your intention, Mr. Minister of Dali temple?"
All the public figures present are the core figures of the party. If we deal with them, we can deal with most of the parties.
Now Dali Shicheng is the leader of the Qi party. If he nods, the Qi party will win, at least half of it.
"Your majesty The Minister of Dali temple came out and said in a mournful voice:
"he has been an official for 20 years. He has been conscientious and conscientious. He has no ice in the heat and no charcoal in the cold, but he just has to work hard."
Said, shaking hands, let wide sleeve slide, showing a pair of full chilblain hands.
"I'm willing to die for the court. But I pity my wife and children and don't want them to freeze to death in the street. If your majesty insists on this, I beg for the bones. "
The old fox..... Emperor Yongxing's brain "suddenly" hurt, and quickly waved his hand:
"not so, not so......"
if he really wanted to do so, he would become a greedy emperor who forced officials to donate money and led to the resignation of ministers, and his reputation would stink. If history books were to record another one.
Well, not much better than the emperor.
Emperor Yongxing believed that such a scholar would certainly write like this.
Because it's them who are forced to donate.
Emperor Yongxing asked other ministers and encountered different difficulties.
Either crying for poverty or begging for bones.
The young emperor's face became more and more ugly, and it was hard to ride a tiger. He finally patted the table.
"This is not good, that is not good. What's the use of the imperial court to support you? In three days, I want a perfect solution. If you can't take it out, I'll go away! "
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The princes knelt down one after another.
...
the small court meeting ended in advance because of emperor Yongxing's gaffe.
Wang Shoufu straightened his official hat, folded his hands in his sleeves, and walked side by side with Liu Hong, Wei Yuan's successor, Yushi and watchman leader of Yushitai.
The Meridian Gate is ahead.
In the distance, there are bodyguards standing guard and patrolling the imperial army. Wang Shoufu's eyes are chasing the Imperial Army in a bored way. After a moment, he takes back his eyes and says slowly:
"Your Majesty has exposed the weakness of love reputation too obviously. How can you fight with these old foxes?
"Your Majesty is still too young."
"If you want to be a powerful country and do solid work, your level is worse." Liu Hong made no secret of his disdain.
Wang Shoufu took a breath of cold air, and his nose turned red with cold. He said faintly:
"the means are immature and the mind is not deep enough. You can learn all these. The fourth Prince is no better than him. "
Liu Hong said: "unfortunately, his highness Huaiqing is a woman."
Wang Shoufu said with a sneer: "the idea that Erlang's memorial proposed the imperial court to call for donations was given by his highness Huaiqing. Do you think I don't know? "
Liu Hong said frankly: "the eyes of Shoufu adults are like torches."
"She didn't ask merchants to donate money alone, but asked her majesty to set an example for his ministers to donate money. She has some foresight."
Wang Shoufu snorted, and his face became cold:
"tell Huaiqing that if you want to try your own way in the future, don't use my future son-in-law as a gun. Your majesty is doomed to lose face because of this. At that time, you have to anger Erlang. "
Liu Hong did not speak.
After walking side by side for a while, Wang Shoufu calmed down his anger and said faintly:
"the imperial treasury is empty, and it is difficult for the Ministry to continue. The reason why your majesty does not move the money and food is to guard against the rebels in Yunzhou. "
Liu Hongchen said:
"however, if the disaster situation is allowed to expand, the number of refugees will increase day by day, causing chaos everywhere, which is also what the rebels are willing to see. Misappropriation of military funds is in the heart of the rebels. If not, the rebels are still happy to see it.
"Although I haven't dealt with Xu Pingfeng, I know that he is very skillful and makes people feel numb."
If there is no pay for a war, the army will mutiny.
Regardless of the disaster, if we do not curb the growth rate of refugees, the situation will become more and more chaotic, and the consequences of backyard fire are equally terrible.
"His highness Huaiqing should not think of it either." Liu Hong sighed: "I thought that the imperial court would usher in a new era after the emperor's death, but it was a mess."Wang Shoufu looked far away and seemed to be touched.
After a while, he said in a deep voice:
"if this plan is feasible, it can really solve the urgent problem. But she missed a key point. If you want this group of old foxes and officials from all walks of life to pay willingly, you need people who live in the town.
"Throughout the imperial court, the number of supervisors is one, the number of former emperors is one, the number of Wei Yuan and I together is one, and the number of Xu Qi'an is one.
"JianZheng doesn't care about the government. Both the former Emperor and Wei Yuan are old friends. Xu Qi'an traveled in the rivers and lakes. I asked Erlang a while ago, but he hasn't got any news yet."
Liu Hong was surprised. Wang Shoufu had seen through and understood this strategy for a long time. When no one noticed, he had already secretly inquired and deliberated.
...
Jingxiu palace.
Emperor Yongxing arrived at Jingxiu palace, surrounded by eunuchs.
He stopped in the yard, took a deep breath, pinched his eyebrows, and made his expression less serious.
The corner of his mouth with a slight smile, and then through the yard, into the threshold, saw the waiting for a long time the mother and sister.
Chen Guifei, who ordered the maid of honor to heat the dishes several times, gently reproached: "Your Majesty, although spring and autumn are prosperous, you should also pay attention to the dragon body and don't work too hard."
"Don't worry, concubine. Lingbao temple is full of elixirs for nourishing the body." Lin'an beckons and smiles like a flower:
"brother emperor, come and have dinner."
Emperor Yongxing smiles and starts to eat under the service of the palace maids.
After a few mouthfuls, he began to chat with his mother and sister.
"A few days ago, I heard that there was a little girl from the Shangshu room, who came to Wang Shoufu's house. Changkang accidentally provokes the other party and gets beaten.
"Chih'er avenged his cousin and was beaten with bags all over his head."
Zhier, the third son of emperor Yongxing, is ten years old.
Chang Kang is the second son of Lin'an six brothers.
As soon as Chen Guifei heard that her grandson was beaten, her face changed greatly, and her eyebrows stood up: "how can I not know this?"
"I'm under pressure."
"Why?"
Chen Guifei was suspicious and couldn't understand her son's way of doing it.
Emperor Yongxing gave a bitter smile: "that's Xu Qi'an's younger sister. Fortunately, she was sent out of the palace that day, and she didn't read the book."
Princess Chen was silent immediately.
As everyone knows, Taifu escaped.
After eating for a while, seeing that emperor Yongxing was always unhappy, Princess Chen said in a soft voice:
"Your Majesty, is there anything difficult in the court?"
Emperor Yongxing hesitated for a moment and sighed helplessly:
"the State Treasury has run out of money, and just after the war, the granary reserves in various places are insufficient, unable to provide relief to the victims. As a result, there were refugees everywhere, turning into bandits.
"My country is in a mess."
He also talked about his setbacks in calling for donations.
Emperor Yongxing pinched his eyebrows and said, "it's hard to sit in this position. Everyone is the enemy up and down the court. "
Although he won the throne not long ago, he had already felt many obstacles and the powerlessness of government orders.
This was something I couldn't personally experience when I was a prince before.
The atmosphere on the table changed.
Emperor Yongxing said: "don't think about these bad things. Here's to your mother, concubine and son."
After drinking the wine, Emperor Yongxing chose some relaxed topics, trying to make Princess Chen laugh and make the family dinner more relaxed.
Lin'an silently looked at his brother, some sad.
In the past, she felt that the crown prince's brother wanted to inherit the throne, and many ideas and ideas made her uncomfortable.
But time has changed. After so many things, she has matured a lot.
The reason why the prince's elder brother is so obsessed with the throne is that, apart from his own desire for the throne, most of the reasons lie in their mother and daughter.
The mother imperial concubine is pressed by the empress, and she is often bullied by Huaiqing. In addition, the fourth Prince has the support of Wei Yuan in the court.
The prince's elder brother just wants to fight for breath, so that the mother Princess can raise her head in front of the queen, so that she can brag in front of Huaiqing.
After lunch, Lin'an went to Dexin garden in the name of walking and eating.
As soon as I entered Huaiqing's site, I saw a handsome young official come out from inside.
Eyes like stars, red lips and white teeth, cheek lines a lot of hard, appears more masculine.
"I have seen your highness."
Xu Xinnian stops and bows.
"Why is Lord Xu here?"
Lin'an's affectionate and charming peach blossom eyes turn and look up and down.
Xu Xinnian said, "I've come to discuss knowledge with your highness Huaiqing."
After a pause, he asked, "by the way, has my elder brother sent a letter to his highness recently?"
As soon as Lin'an heard it, he was deeply resentful and gave a sweet hum"I don't know who your elder brother is. Don't block the way."
The train flies, passing by Xu Xinnian.
The dog slave had been away from Beijing for more than a month, but he didn't hear from her at all.
All the way to the inner courtyard, under the guidance of the maid of honor, I came to the inner hall and saw Huaiqing drinking tea after the case.
"I just met Xu cijiu outside. Why did he come here?"
Lin an asked.
Generally speaking, those who can be invited into the palace by the princess are people with extraordinary relationships.
No matter women, men's words are basically confidants.
But Lin'an knows that Xu Xinnian is the future son-in-law of the Wang family, and Wang Shoufu is the person of her emperor's brother.
"Discuss learning."
Huaiqing casually perfunctory, turned to ask: "what are you doing?"
She doesn't welcome Lin'an very much. This sister chirps like a sparrow. If you don't pay attention, she will come and peck your face.
Although the fighting power is still as good as ever, it is Yongxing emperor's reign after all.
Huaiqing is more or less afraid.
Although Lin'an was defeated, he never complained to Emperor Yongxing.
Lin'an came to the side of the case, picked up the skirt, sat down and said:
"Huaiqing, you have many ideas, please ask me a question."
Huaiqing nodded coldly.
Lin'an said the donation once again, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly:
"what can you do to let those old foxes pay for themselves?"
Huaiqing light way: "others want to rob your wealth, you give or not?"
Lin'an thought about it and said, "it depends on who. If the dog slave asks me for money, I will give it to you."
Huaiqing sipped a sip of tea, "so it's not good to be close. Your emperor's brother asked for money, but of course he didn't come. "
Lin'an felt reasonable and said tentatively, "bullying?"
Huai Qing shook his head:
"this is the best way, and the most stupid way. Stupidity lies in the fact that you can't go on doing it. Otherwise, there will be a huge rebound when people scold you.
"But some people can do it, but the officials have nothing to do."
Lin an eyes a bright: "who?"
Huaiqing is once again disappointed with the wisdom of her sister. It's really boring to play with her.
"What do you think of the prison?"
"OK..."
"what if he was the first Wufu king of Dafeng then?"
"But, yes..."
"who is the first warrior of Dafeng now?"
Lin'an finally understood, and suddenly realized that he patted the table with his little hand:
"you say dog slave!"
Immediately he broke down and said in disappointment, "but he's not in the capital."

"A few days ago, I heard that there was a little girl from the Shangshu room, who came to Wang Shoufu's house. Changkang accidentally provokes the other party and gets beaten.
"Chih'er avenged his cousin and was beaten with bags all over his head."
Zhier, the third son of emperor Yongxing, is ten years old.
Chang Kang is the second son of Lin'an six brothers.
As soon as Chen Guifei heard that her grandson was beaten, her face changed greatly, and her eyebrows stood up: "how can I not know this?"
"I'm under pressure."
"Why?"
Chen Guifei was suspicious and couldn't understand her son's way of doing it.
Emperor Yongxing gave a bitter smile: "that's Xu Qi'an's younger sister. Fortunately, she was sent out of the palace that day, and she didn't read the book."
Princess Chen was silent immediately.
As everyone knows, Taifu escaped.
After eating for a while, seeing that emperor Yongxing was always unhappy, Princess Chen said in a soft voice:
"Your Majesty, is there anything difficult in the court?"
Emperor Yongxing hesitated for a moment and sighed helplessly:
"the State Treasury has run out of money, and just after the war, the granary reserves in various places are insufficient, unable to provide relief to the victims. As a result, there were refugees everywhere, turning into bandits.
"My country is in a mess."
He also talked about his setbacks in calling for donations.
Emperor Yongxing pinched his eyebrows and said, "it's hard to sit in this position. Everyone is the enemy up and down the court. "
Although he won the throne not long ago, he had already felt many obstacles and the powerlessness of government orders.
This was something I couldn't personally experience when I was a prince before.
The atmosphere on the table changed.
Emperor Yongxing said: "don't think about these bad things. Here's to your mother, concubine and son."
After drinking the wine, Emperor Yongxing chose some relaxed topics, trying to make Princess Chen laugh and make the family dinner more relaxed.
Lin'an silently looked at his brother, some sad.
In the past, she felt that the crown prince's brother wanted to inherit the throne, and many ideas and ideas made her uncomfortable.
But time has changed. After so many things, she has matured a lot.
The reason why the prince's elder brother is so obsessed with the throne is that, apart from his own desire for the throne, most of the reasons lie in their mother and daughter.
The mother imperial concubine is pressed by the empress, and she is often bullied by Huaiqing. In addition, the fourth Prince has the support of Wei Yuan in the court.
The prince's elder brother just wants to fight for breath, so that the mother Princess can raise her head in front of the queen, so that she can brag in front of Huaiqing.
After lunch, Lin'an went to Dexin garden in the name of walking and eating.
As soon as I entered Huaiqing's site, I saw a handsome young official come out from inside.
Eyes like stars, red lips and white teeth, cheek lines a lot of hard, appears more masculine.
"I have seen your highness."
Xu Xinnian stops and bows.
"Why is Lord Xu here?"
Lin'an's affectionate and charming peach blossom eyes turn and look up and down.
Xu Xinnian said, "I've come to discuss knowledge with your highness Huaiqing."
After a pause, he asked, "by the way, has my elder brother sent a letter to his highness recently?"
As soon as Lin'an heard it, he was deeply resentful and gave a sweet hum"I don't know who your elder brother is. Don't block the way."
The train flies, passing by Xu Xinnian.
The dog slave had been away from Beijing for more than a month, but he didn't hear from her at all.
All the way to the inner courtyard, under the guidance of the maid of honor, I came to the inner hall and saw Huaiqing drinking tea after the case.
"I just met Xu cijiu outside. Why did he come here?"
Lin an asked.
Generally speaking, those who can be invited into the palace by the princess are people with extraordinary relationships.
No matter women, men's words are basically confidants.
But Lin'an knows that Xu Xinnian is the future son-in-law of the Wang family, and Wang Shoufu is the person of her emperor's brother.
"Discuss learning."
Huaiqing casually perfunctory, turned to ask: "what are you doing?"
She doesn't welcome Lin'an very much. This sister chirps like a sparrow. If you don't pay attention, she will come and peck your face.
Although the fighting power is still as good as ever, it is Yongxing emperor's reign after all.
Huaiqing is more or less afraid.
Although Lin'an was defeated, he never complained to Emperor Yongxing.
Lin'an came to the side of the case, picked up the skirt, sat down and said:
"Huaiqing, you have many ideas, please ask me a question."
Huaiqing nodded coldly.
Lin'an said the donation once again, and her eyebrows wrinkled slightly:
"what can you do to let those old foxes pay for themselves?"
Huaiqing light way: "others want to rob your wealth, you give or not?"
Lin'an thought about it and said, "it depends on who. If the dog slave asks me for money, I will give it to you."
Huaiqing sipped a sip of tea, "so it's not good to be close. Your emperor's brother asked for money, but of course he didn't come. "
Lin'an felt reasonable and said tentatively, "bullying?"
Huai Qing shook his head:
"this is the best way, and the most stupid way. Stupidity lies in the fact that you can't go on doing it. Otherwise, there will be a huge rebound when people scold you.
"But some people can do it, but the officials have nothing to do."
Lin an eyes a bright: "who?"
Huaiqing is once again disappointed with the wisdom of her sister. It's really boring to play with her.
"What do you think of the prison?"
"OK..."
"what if he was the first Wufu king of Dafeng then?"
"But, yes..."
"who is the first warrior of Dafeng now?"
Lin'an finally understood, and suddenly realized that he patted the table with his little hand:
"you say dog slave!"
Immediately he broke down and said in disappointment, "but he's not in the capital."
PS: continue to the next chapter. It is suggested to see it tomorrow.
The theme of this meeting is "snow disaster". Since the beginning of winter, the temperature has dropped sharply. Affected by the cold wave, families who could barely make a living by tightening their belts had to spend more money on charcoal, cotton padded clothes and other materials. But for the poor farmers, one year's income is so small, and their food and clothing needs to be carefully calculated. If you spend money on charcoal and cotton padded clothes, it means you don't have money to buy rice. Many poor people have not been able to survive this winter, and the loss of population is countless. One after another, the imperial court received a series of awards from the local government, which used "ten villages do not leave one family" to describe the terrible situation of the disaster... The Minister of Dali Temple immediately stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, you can ask the Ministry of household to mobilize money and food for disaster relief. If the people are short of food and clothing and can't survive the winter, they will turn into refugees. "People who have been ransacked by refugees will also become refugees. If the disaster can not be settled as soon as possible, there will be a great disaster." Before emperor Yongxing spoke, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs came out in a panic and said in a high voice: "Your Majesty, the Treasury is empty. You really can't give us any extra money and food for disaster relief. Please think twice." Every year's disaster relief time, for him, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, is a storm that shakes the official hat. Sure enough, the Ministry of the Ministry of the people's Republic of China rushed out to mend the sword: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach the Minister of the Ministry of the people's Republic of China for using his power for personal gain, embezzling and bending the law, and sucking the marrow of the imperial court with his party members, so that the Treasury is empty." Hubu Shangshu knelt down and said in a loud voice: "I beg for bones!" Emperor Yongxing's mouth twitched violently and looked down on the ministers without expression. Party fight, Party fight! Today, it's still a party struggle! It was you, who only knew how to fight in the dark, who united with the former Emperor to make a living for the people who suffered from the disaster...... emperor Yongxing clenched his hand in his sleeve and said with a gentle smile: "I told you yesterday that the disaster was serious. When the emperor and his ministers were united and discussed the countermeasures, you Aiqing would stop." Hubu Shangshu and others immediately stopped. Emperor Yongxing nodded with satisfaction, and said in a loud voice, "how about all the granaries?" The Secretary of the Ministry of household said: "all the warehouses have been opened for disaster relief. Just, just during the autumn harvest, the imperial court had a fight with the Shamanism, which greatly damaged its vitality. Grain and grass were collected from all over the country that day. As a result, there is not enough grain in local granaries. " Emperor Yongxing thought about it and said, "what about Guancang?" As the voice fell, all the officials in the hall looked at each other. Liu Hong, the right censor, stepped out and said, "Your Majesty can't do it. If you want to stabilize the situation and let the petty officials and officials act normally, the official storehouse can't move." The granary is designed for disaster relief in famine years. The official positions are paid to the officials. If the imperial court doesn't pay, it's a real chaos. Emperor Yongxing's face sank: "what good strategy does Liu Aiqing have?" Liu Hong pondered: "the northern demons still owe the imperial court countless furs, salt and iron ores. Your majesty can send envoys to the Northern Territory to ask for them." As soon as emperor Yongxing's eyes brightened, the princes at the bottom also talked about it. However, Wang Shoufu stepped out of the formation and bowed to him: "this is not a matter!" Zhugong immediately retorted: "why not?" "I think Mr. Liu's plan is very good." "Yes, there are lots of demons, cattle and sheep, with countless fur. They can keep out the cold and solve the urgent needs of the imperial court." Wang Shoufu patiently waited for all the princes to finish, and then he continued: "the oath was drawn up on that day by Xu Xinnian, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, who was in charge of the writing and supervised by the minister himself. It is written in black and white that the furs, cattle and sheep that yaoman gave Dafeng were three years later. Let them fulfill the contract now... "Wang Shoufu didn't go on, but the princes understood. This is forcing demon man and Dafeng to turn against each other. Emperor Yongxing was a little fidgety and asked, "what's the best plan for the chief assistant?" Wang Shoufu sighed in his heart. Even if he didn't look back, he could feel the burning gaze behind him. As a leader and assistant, he could not avoid some things, so he said in a deep voice: "although the National Treasury is empty, there are rich people in and out of the capital, even in the Central Plains. Your majesty can call on the volunteers to donate money." Here comes... My heart sank. As a matter of fact, as early as a few days ago, there was a rumor in Beijing that his majesty wanted to call for donations to fill the void of the national treasury and cut flesh from them. It was at this moment that emperor Yongxing and others began to laugh: "this method is wonderful. How do you think Shoufu should call for it?" Wang Shoufu said: "when the public take the lead in donating, the minister is willing to donate half of his family wealth to the victims." When this remark came out, all the officials in the hall were in an uproar. Several members of the Wang party and the former Wei party responded immediately, saying that like Wang Shoufu, they would donate half of their wealth to fill the national treasury.But more ministers are against it. "Your Majesty, this is not the case." "We've got nothing to do and we're barely living. How can we get rich?" "It's like cutting meat for businessmen to make donations. It's bound to cause an uproar." "The National Treasury is empty, so we can't publicize it, and let the sorcerer know that there may be war. At the same time, we should let the people know that the court is strong outside but strong in the middle. At that time, the refugees will become bandits, and there will be endless disasters. " On hearing the emperor's call for donations, Wang Shoufu took the lead in donating half of his family's wealth. The public had a great response and stood in the same camp with great tacit understanding. Even if they are like a raging fire on weekdays. Emperor Yongxing raised his hand to calm the noise of the ministers. This is the imperial study, not the Jinluan palace. There is no eunuch waving his whip. After all the police were quiet, he looked at the Minister of Dali temple and said: "what's your intention, Mr. Minister of Dali temple?" All the public figures present are the core figures of the party. If we deal with them, we can deal with most of the parties. Now Dali Shicheng is the leader of the Qi party. If he nods, the Qi party will win, at least half of it. "Your majesty The Minister of Dali temple came out and said in a mournful voice: "he has been an official for 20 years. He has been conscientious and conscientious. He has no ice in the heat and no charcoal in the cold, but he just has to work hard." Said, shaking hands, let wide sleeve slide, showing a pair of full chilblain hands. "I'm willing to die for the court. But I pity my wife and children and don't want them to freeze to death in the street. If your majesty insists on this, I beg for the bones. " The old fox..... Emperor Yongxing's brain "suddenly" hurt, and quickly waved his hand: "not so, not so......" if he really wanted to do so, he would become a greedy emperor who forced officials to donate money and led to the resignation of ministers, and his reputation would stink. If history books were to record another one. Well, not much better than the emperor. Emperor Yongxing believed that such a scholar would certainly write like this. Because it's them who are forced to donate. Emperor Yongxing asked other ministers and encountered different difficulties. Either crying for poverty or begging for bones. The young emperor's face became more and more ugly, and it was hard to ride a tiger. He finally patted the table. "This is not good, that is not good. What's the use of the imperial court to support you? In three days, I want a perfect solution. If you can't take it out, I'll go away! " "Your Majesty, calm down!" The princes knelt down one after another. ... the small court meeting ended in advance because of emperor Yongxing's gaffe. Wang Shoufu straightened his official hat, folded his hands in his sleeves, and walked side by side with Liu Hong, Wei Yuan's successor, Yushi and watchman leader of Yushitai. The Meridian Gate is ahead. In the distance, there are bodyguards standing guard and patrolling the imperial army. Wang Shoufu's eyes are chasing the Imperial Army in a bored way. After a moment, he takes back his eyes and says slowly: "Your Majesty has exposed the weakness of love reputation too obviously. How can you fight with these old foxes? "Your Majesty is still too young." "If you want to be a powerful country and do solid work, your level is worse." Liu Hong made no secret of his disdain. Wang Shoufu took a breath of cold air, and his nose turned red with cold. He said faintly: "the means are immature and the mind is not deep enough. You can learn all these. The fourth Prince is no better than him. " Liu Hong said: "unfortunately, his highness Huaiqing is a woman." Wang Shoufu said with a sneer: "the idea that Erlang's memorial proposed the imperial court to call for donations was given by his highness Huaiqing. Do you think I don't know? " Liu Hong said frankly: "the eyes of Shoufu adults are like torches." "She didn't ask merchants to donate money alone, but asked her majesty to set an example for his ministers to donate money. She has some foresight." Wang Shoufu snorted, and his face became cold: "tell Huaiqing that if you want to try your own way in the future, don't use my future son-in-law as a gun. Your majesty is doomed to lose face because of this. At that time, you have to anger Erlang. " Liu Hong did not speak. After walking side by side for a while, Wang Shoufu calmed down his anger and said faintly: "the imperial treasury is empty, and it is difficult for the Ministry to continue. The reason why your majesty does not move the money and food is to guard against the rebels in Yunzhou. " Liu Hongchen said: "however, if the disaster situation is allowed to expand, the number of refugees will increase day by day, causing chaos everywhere, which is also what the rebels are willing to see. Misappropriation of military funds is in the heart of the rebels. If not, the rebels are still happy to see it. "Although I haven't dealt with Xu Pingfeng, I know that he is very skillful and makes people feel numb." If there is no pay for a war, the army will mutiny. Regardless of the disaster, if we do not curb the growth rate of refugees, the situation will become more and more chaotic, and the consequences of backyard fire are equally terrible. "His highness Huaiqing should not think of it either." Liu Hong sighed: "I thought that the imperial court would usher in a new era after the emperor's death, but it was a mess."Wang Shoufu looked far away and seemed to be touched. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "if this plan is feasible, it can really solve the urgent problem. But she missed a key point. If you want this group of old foxes and officials from all walks of life to pay willingly, you need people who live in the town. "Throughout the imperial court, the number of supervisors is one, the number of former emperors is one, the number of Wei Yuan and I together is one, and the number of Xu Qi'an is one. "JianZheng doesn't care about the government. Both the former Emperor and Wei Yuan are old friends. Xu Qi'an traveled in the rivers and lakes. I asked Erlang a while ago, but he hasn't got any news yet." Liu Hong was surprised. Wang Shoufu had seen through and understood this strategy for a long time. When no one noticed, he had already secretly inquired and deliberated. ... Jingxiu palace. Emperor Yongxing arrived at Jingxiu palace, surrounded by eunuchs. He stopped in the yard, took a deep breath, pinched his eyebrows, and made his expression less serious. The corner of his mouth with a slight smile, and then through the yard, into the threshold, saw the waiting for a long time the mother and sister. Chen Guifei, who ordered the maid of honor to heat the dishes several times, gently reproached: "Your Majesty, although spring and autumn are prosperous, you should also pay attention to the dragon body and don't work too hard." "Don't worry, concubine. Lingbao temple is full of elixirs for nourishing the body." Lin'an beckons and smiles like a flower: "brother emperor, come and have dinner." Emperor Yongxing smiles and starts to eat under the service of the palace maids. After a few mouthfuls, he began to chat with his mother and sister. "A few days ago, I heard that there was a little girl from the Shangshu room, who came to Wang Shoufu's house. Changkang accidentally provokes the other party and gets beaten. "Chih'er avenged his cousin and was beaten with bags all over his head." Zhier, the third son of emperor Yongxing, is ten years old. Chang Kang is the second son of Lin'an six brothers. As soon as Chen Guifei heard that her grandson was beaten, her face changed greatly, and her eyebrows stood up: "how can I not know this?" "I'm under pressure." "Why?" Chen Guifei was suspicious and couldn't understand her son's way of doing it. Emperor Yongxing gave a bitter smile: "that's Xu Qi'an's younger sister. Fortunately, she was sent out of the palace that day, and she didn't read the book." Princess Chen was silent immediately. As everyone knows, Taifu escaped. After eating for a while, seeing that emperor Yongxing was always unhappy, Princess Chen said in a soft voice: "Your Majesty, is there anything difficult in the court?"

As a result, there were refugees everywhere, turning into bandits. "My country is in a mess." He also talked about his setbacks in calling for donations. Emperor Yongxing pinched his eyebrows and said, "it's hard to sit in this position. Everyone is the enemy up and down the court. " Although he won the throne not long ago, he had already felt many obstacles and the powerlessness of government orders. This was something I couldn't personally experience when I was a prince before. The atmosphere on the table changed. Emperor Yongxing said: "don't think about these bad things.
