"I am really wise to come up with such a good plan, and I am very pleased with my heart..." Zhu Youjian nodded happily, looking at the ministers present as if they saw silver, shining, "All my dear friends, Ximen dear friends are proposing to raise funds, what do you think?"

“…”

“…”

...

Everyone stared at each other, and no one spoke.

What do you say? Although I firmly oppose fundraising with both hands and feet, can I... be said? Besides, if others don't say it, I'll shut up first.

"Well, it seems that everyone agrees to raise funds..." Zhu Youjian looked at everyone with admiration and said to himself: "Since that's the case, I have to follow the wishes of my beloved ministers and issue an order tomorrow morning to allow all princes and nobles, officials at all levels inside and outside the capital to donate silver and help pay."

"The emperor is wise!"

"The emperor made a clear decision!"

"The emperor has his order, and the uncle will never refuse!"

“…”

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he saw that the fundraising was a foregone conclusion. Everyone here immediately praised him, although they were crying in their hearts and bleeding in their hearts.

"Okay, okay, I am deeply moved when I see all my dear friends..." Old Zhu smiled even more happily and said passionately: "I want to take the lead in raising funds and be a role model in the world!"

Yang Sichang took the opportunity to shoot the horse first and said anxiously: "The emperor has a lot of things to do every day, so how can you donate silver... If you have the best of your ability to donate money..."

"Your Majesty, you must not... you must not!"

“…”

Naturally, others did not dare to fall behind, and expressed their determination to raise funds to save Lao Zhu.

Old Zhu waved his hand, acted like he had to donate, and turned his head to ask the old eunuch, "Thank you, how much more imperial silver do I have?"

This dead-faced old eunuch is Wang Chengen, who has led Zhu Youjian to raise him. He can be said to be the person Lao Zhu trusts the most, no doubt about it.

Lao Zhu, the ugly daughter-in-law, became a mother-in-law and became the emperor. Wang Chengen was naturally a slave to the master. Now he has become the most popular figure in the palace and outside the palace. He was awarded the king of eunuchs and was in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. Although he is not an official, he is better than any official.

When Zhu Youjian asked, he stepped forward and said without thinking: "Your Majesty, you still have 511,120 taels..." After pausing, he added: "Zero seven cents and three cents of imperial silver."

"No, right? I had more than 10 million taels when I ascended the throne, why was there only so much left?" Zhu Youjian looked surprised, but his eyes were filled with deep meaning.

When Lao Zhu lifted his butt, Wang Chengen could know what he farted. Naturally, he understood the "deep meaning". Without blinking, he opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you have a precedent for this fundraising move. Either you donate the accumulated imperial silver to the victims or to the border. In the first half of the year, you also donated it as an official salary. You donated it in total 16 times, and the slaves have accounts to check every time."

When everyone heard this, they were immediately filled with slandering and were all very emotional.

Zhu Youjian pondered for a moment, looked up and said resolutely: "Since there are more than 500,000 taels left, I will donate 250,000... No, 300,000 taels to help suppress the thieves!"

Damn, the emperor donated most of it, how can you love me? Isn’t this asking for your life or drinking your blood?

This time, everyone responded unanimously and knelt down and advised: "Your Majesty, you must not, you must not. If you have me, please donate military pay..."

Old Zhu waved his hand and stopped him, "I have decided that from now on, I will still wear cloth clothes and hemp shoes to reduce food and fun, save the palace expenses to help military salaries!"

Oh my God, the earth, how can you live these hard days in the future...

At this moment, everyone was really shocked. There was silence in the Wenyu Palace. I guess you could hear a needle falling off.

The only official Ximen who stood was the first to break the silence, with a look of admiration on his face, and said with high praise: "The emperor's move is truly shocking the world and crying ghosts and gods. It is like a loud sound that swept away the darkness, clearing the clouds and mist to see the blue sky, and even more like a yellow bell, da Lu, which makes our subjects see hope and the future..."

The sound of flattery made the ministers come to their senses, and they all looked sad and said in a crying voice:

"The emperor's move will definitely be like rain and dew, and the people will be filled with all directions..."

"I should take the emperor as a model..."

"I will follow the emperor..."

...

"Okay, okay, I have set an example, let's see you all the good friends..." Old Zhu waved his hand again to stop him, his eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and finally fell on the official Ximen, and said with a smile: "Ximen, you came up with this fundraising strategy, let's start with you. I wonder how much you can donate?" Boy, don't embarrass me. Although I also have the imperial silver I have saved, I have to leave it to Weiru and the others as a dowry. The princess's wedding will not be too cold.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate all my wealth!" Ximen Daguanren slapped his chest and said in a shocking way.

All...all wealth?! My grass, you go and drink the northwest wind, I won’t accompany you.

Damn it, you can't shoot like this, isn't this pushing me into a desperate situation?

Blow, you blow hard, I still don’t believe it…

As soon as he said something, he suddenly became an uproar. Even Wang Chengen, the dead face, couldn't help but widen his eyes. Can you suffocate to death if you don't brag?

The great official of Ximen looked at everyone calmly, and said slowly and seriously: "But... the empress is penniless and has no tiles. Only one loyal heart can be donated to serve the country!"

My grass, you are so pretty. My heart is more sincere than you, and I dare not say that...

Uh??Oh, you guy...even I dare to play...

The Grand Official of Ximen continued this sentence, and made everyone look down on him to the extreme, and made Lao Zhu look a little embarrassed. He didn't know whether this guy was saying true or not. However, the Grand Official of Ximen made him happy just now. He quickly recovered from calmness and said with a solemn expression: "Ximen Beloved, I know that you have suffered a tragic disaster. Everything in your family was burned in the fire. I originally thought that several months have passed, and you have found a place to establish your life in the An family. I didn't expect it... I didn't expect..." Zhu Youjian said, and he was a little choked, "Your dear, you don't receive a salary for me, and you have worked hard for me. To this day... I still have no place to live, drifting around... How can I bear this? How can I bear it..." Lao Zhu finally squeezed out two drops of tears.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone looking at Ximen Daguanren were different. They were full of admiration, pity, and sympathy in their tears: I, there is still someone who works for the country like this? Is this guy stupid, or stupid? Or... stupid~ silly?!

Ximen Sha~ looked very moved and comforted his father-in-law and said, "Emperor, as a secret spy in the inner ranks, I should go deep into the grassroots and observe everywhere. How can I be greedy for pleasure and shrink my family? Moreover, I am alone and have a full meal and the whole family is not hungry. Therefore, there is no home for me, it doesn't matter to me..." This guy said shamelessly. Even Lao Zhu felt blushing, but he changed his tone and said with a look of embarrassment: "But... I am now awarded the title of crown prince and tutor, and he is also an important minister of the court. He is also in charge of the general of the country. If the emperor... if he can reward a rich man... cough cough, house, me... I am still willing to thank me..."
