Chapter 459

The next morning, Weiyang Palace and the Greenhouse Hall.

On the imperial bed, the emperor Liu Che was holding a bunch of bamboo slips in his hand and was watching carefully. His brows were sometimes frowning and sometimes stretching, and his expression seemed quite uneasy!

On the contrary, not far from the left side of the lower head, Dong Zhongshu's expression was quite calm. He lowered his head slightly, looking at his nose and his nose, as if he was in a deep sleep!

But if someone approaches and observes, they will find that Dong Zhongshu's condition at this time is not as calm as it seems, because the light from the corner of his eyes has never left the direction of the imperial bed from beginning to end!

"Bang"

Suddenly, Liu Che suddenly closed the bamboo slips, slapped him on the imperial desk, and said angrily: "I am talking nonsense, I don't know what it means! I am the emperor, rich in the world. When will I need a mere criminal to help me? Yu Qiu (I) this person is so decisive!"

As he said that, Liu Che suddenly raised his head and asked Dong Zhongshu in front of him, sternly: "Dong Qing, you are also an old minister of two dynasties. I am here to ask you, when will a criminal need to make any comments on this national affairs? Dong Qing, what is your intention to submit this memorial? Are you going to plead for your disciple?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I do have this intention!" Faced with the emperor's questioning, Dong Zhongshu did not deny it, but instead admitted it very happily!

Then, before Liu Che was angry, Dong Zhongshu immediately explained to him: "A few days ago, Yu Qiu heard that Your Majesty wanted to move to the people to the border, but because the national treasury was empty, he was blocked several times! So Yu Qiu found me and said that she was willing to donate all the family documents to make the country's use. She begged me to report this memorial to Your Majesty in person!"

"I sympathize with his good intentions and are beneficial to the country, so I agreed to his request and presented his memorial to Your Majesty. I asked Your Majesty to decide this matter!"

"It is true that as Your Majesty said, although I have some selfish intentions, I think that although Yu Qiu's move seems reckless, it is a good solution to solve the current difficulties of the treasury!"

"Good plan?" Liu Che's eyes suddenly flashed with strange expressions, but his expression was unchanging. He even looked at Dong Zhongshu with a little ridiculous sarcasm and said contemptuously: "The immigration of Shuofang is of great importance, and it costs more than ten thousand yuan. And the gold that Yu Qiu wanted to offer was only a few thousand, which was not enough for the court's expenses. What's the use of keeping it?"

"Bang"

As he said that, Liu Che slapped the table hard and said angrily: "Dong Qing, do you really think that I will care about the few thousand golds? Do you really think that I will forgive the criminal Yu Qiu because of the few thousand golds? What do you think of me as? Do you think of me as a greedy villain who is jealous of money?"

"I dare not!" Dong Zhongshu never expected that Liu Che's reaction was so violent. Seeing that he seemed to be really angry, Dong Zhongshu hurriedly leaned over to apologize, and said with a hint of bitterness: "Your Majesty, Yu Qiu's only thousands of gold is not worth mentioning, but his sincere desire to serve the country is extremely rare! I heard that in order to make up the money, Yu Qiu almost spent all his family's belongings, and even his own property was sold! This shows how firm his desire to serve the country is! If not, how dare I plead for Yu Qiu in front of Your Majesty?"

"Yuqiu even sold the land?" Liu Che's expression was slightly moved when he heard Dong Zhongshu's words. The reason why he was so angry just now was mainly because he thought that the reason why King Qiu Shou was able to spend so much money in one breath to buy his career for himself was because this person was greedy for money that belonged to him Liu Che!

In other words, the money was actually all his own, but King Qiu Shou used the money embezzled from the Shao Mansion to seek benefits for himself, and showed off in front of him, the emperor!

Isn’t this obvious, slapping him in the face? How could Liu Che endure such a thing? So, he couldn’t help but feel angry!

However, when he heard from Dong Zhongshu that all the land in Wuqiu Shou had been sold, Liu Che suddenly realized that he might have blamed King Wuqiu Shou. After all, the houses he had given to King Wuqiu Shou and the land he gave were all taken back by the Shaofu when King Wuqiu Shou was dismissed! This means that the land sold by King Wuqiu Shou was all his own family’s private wealth!

After secretly looking at Liu Che's rapid change in expression and gradually silent attitude after the imperial case, Dong Zhongshu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he said seriously: "Your Majesty, this immigration to Shuofang has been arguing for more than ten times in the court meeting, but it has never been concluded. This matter has been circulating for a long time! But to this day, only Yu Qiu is willing to destroy his family and relieve his difficulties and give all his help to Your Majesty. Such quality is truly rare. I think it should be rewarded!"

"Hmph" When Liu Che heard Dong Zhongshu's words, he snorted very dissatisfiedly and said reluctantly: "How can you know this matter? Isn't it a fraud?"

It is undeniable that Dong Zhongshu's words just now made Liu Che's vague view of King Wuqiu Shou at this moment change, and it also made a slight change, but this is not enough to make Liu Che forgive the other party from the bottom of his heart, let alone reward the other party!
