PDLP Chapter 155 Thinking of Money
Chapter 155 Thinking of Money
Precisely because he cares about his own reputation, even as an emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants.
But the emperor's displeasure was already evident on his face, and his personal eunuch couldn't pretend not to know.
So the chief eunuch thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, although all this was arranged by the prince, the prince is a prince, and he did a good job because of your good teaching.
The victims have been properly taken care of. In this case, why don't you send someone to appease the people?"
The emperor was somewhat tempted by what the chief eunuch said.
He wouldn't go and see it in person, but he could ask someone to go and see it, to appease the people.
On the one hand, he wanted to see what Zhuangzi was doing. He really wanted to know what his bastard son was going to do.
On the other hand, he also wanted to see the situation of the victims. If it was not too troublesome, these people could be left behind.
Anyway, he is the emperor, he can do anything.
"Then send someone to take a look." said the emperor.
"I don't feel comfortable if anyone else goes, so I'll go there myself."
The emperor smiled without saying anything, but he didn't mean to refuse.
The chief eunuch was very happy, and he also wanted to go out and see what Prince Xian was doing.
This prince is not of this personality. Why did he suddenly change?
"By the way, how much silver did Xiangguo Temple get?"
The eunuch chief was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully for a while, what silver?
Oh, yes, the silver donated by those dignitaries.
Hiss, His Majesty is still thinking about this silver.
"I heard that there are five hundred thousand taels."
"That's a lot. The ministers do have money. When can they donate some to me?"
The emperor was still practicing calligraphy with his head down, as if he had a special liking for it.
The chief eunuch did not think this was just a casual remark.
Since you asked about money, it means you want money.
He is someone else's servant, and he will only be happy if the emperor is happy. But this silver is not so easy to get.
The ministers are not fools and will not give money casually.
As for Daxiangguo Temple, even if Master Wuyou did not care about the silver, the master said that the silver was for the victims.
Asking him to find a way to ask the monks for money is something he really can't do.
"Why aren't you talking? Aren't you usually very eloquent?"
When the emperor asked this, the chief eunuch could only smile flatteringly.
"I forgot for a moment. I just thought about it and Master Wuyou seemed to have said that the silver was for the victims of the disaster."
"He is willing to do so!"
The emperor frowned and put down his pen and ink.
This traitor!
If he hadn't brought the victims back, there wouldn't have been so many problems. That's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!
Although he also wanted to ask the ministers to donate money, he had to consider the face of the emperor. He couldn't just rob them openly, right?
But if there is any way, it would be better.
Do we have to get rid of the disaster victims in order to get hundreds of thousands of taels?
This is the simplest way. Just let the minister go out and be a bad guy, and he just needs to not ask any questions.
The Ministry of Revenue is so incompetent that it actually made a person like the emperor short of money. Humph!
"Master Wuyou is truly an eminent monk. He gave so much silver to the disaster victims. I admire him very much."
The emperor never said he didn't want the silver in the end, and the eunuch chief felt that this was going to turn into a big trouble.
But he couldn't respond to this. He didn't want to offend the monk, but he was not someone who was afraid of nothing.
But once the emperor has this idea, it will be difficult to calm him down.
So he went out to see if there was any good solution.
If there is really no way, the victims will be in trouble, and he feels sorry for it.
At this moment, the Queen's Palace was also in chaos.
Although the Queen did not like to get angry, the more silent she was, the more frightened the servants became.
The nanny who served her personally didn't dare to say a word. After all, anything she said would be wrong at this moment.
"Incompetent! Trash! All of them are trash!"
When Queen Lin shouted like this, everyone was very cautious and didn't dare to say a word.
"I have paved the way for him, but he has no sense of responsibility at all!"
The queen threw the comb in her hand fiercely. She really couldn't believe it. She had planned so much and the Lin family had helped so much, but the prince still messed it up.
How come she only realized now that her son was a waste!
"Send a message to the Lin family. Those disaster victims cannot stay in Kyoto! I don't care what methods they use, they cannot stay in Kyoto. Get them out!"
The queen is very courageous and decisive than the emperor. She will deal with anything she doesn't like.
I have to say, the queen is really bold.
"My lady, should we discuss this matter with the master?"
"Discuss? What are we discussing? They just want me to endure it. Why?"
She is the queen, why should she always endure it?
Her mother's family is so powerful, and now there is a prince. She really wants to kill the emperor and make all these people kneel at her feet.
She has waited for so many years and felt aggrieved for so many years. She is old now and doesn't want to go on like this anymore.
Those bitches deserve to die, and everyone who stands in the way of the Lin family deserves to die!
In Queen Lin's heart, the crown prince is secondary; she and the entire family are the most important.
It’s a pity that she only had one prince in her life. If she had two more sons, it wouldn’t be so difficult.
Since the prince is not doing his job well, we have to help him, this piece of trash!
"Don't tell the Lin family. Let our people do it. I'm the queen, and even my father won't dare to blame me!"
The queen was rarely so angry, but usually no one could disobey her at this time.
Even if it was Lord Lin, he would not really do this to his own daughter. After all, in addition to the crown prince, he also needed the queen's help to control the overall situation.
"Let our people go, whether it's poisoning or arson, I want Prince Xian and that bitch to be convicted and never live in peace!"
The personal nanny received the order and retreated, saying that such matters required the action of his assassins.
Moreover, even if the Queen Mother did not take action, I'm afraid the Prince would not be able to tolerate this.
The nanny's guess was correct. The prince could not bear this humiliation, but he did not want to do it himself, so he went to the Xie family in person in the dead of night.
Duke Anguo did not expect that the prince would come to his house so late at night.
However, if he doesn't come to ask for help late at night, then he must have something important to discuss.
In the eyes of Duke Anguo, both of these are good things.
He is the prince, and the Lin family is behind him. The future of this country will belong to him alone.
"Your Highness, what happened here so late at night?"
When the prince heard the Duke of Anguo ask this, a sneer appeared on his face.
Yes, we came here late at night because we want to give them better conditions so that they can win.
"Your Highness, the reason I came here so late is naturally because I have something important to discuss with the Duke."
Duke Anguo asked the prince to sit down, but the prince said nothing.
"Your Highness?"
"My Lord, I heard that you were recently given a low profile by the Marquis of Jingning's Mansion."
Duke Anguo's face twisted instantly, and he didn't want to recall such things.
