After hearing this, the ministers immediately petrified!
Zhao Ruiyun saw that no one spoke.
Immediately stepped forward and knelt down to a few ladies and said, "Thank you to a few virtuous ladies and goddesses!"
The actions of a few mothers made the ministers and other men ashamed!
Shame on Your Majesty's deep kindness, shame on the people!
” The emperor excitedly stood up from the dragon chair and said to the queen and the other five maidens: "The queen is really my virtuous queen, and several concubines are also my virtuous concubines.
You are all really worried about me, which makes me very moved, okay!
I accepted the hearts of a few concubines.
I will reward you for getting through this difficult time!
” The queen said shyly: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, the concubines and sisters are just showing a little affection."
Your Majesty still has major state affairs to discuss, and the concubines will retire!
” A few concubines who had to donate because of the queen's face, now their hearts began to be smooth, walking all the way, secretly admiring the queen in their hearts, or she knew the emperor's thoughts, and looked at the emperor's excitement, this treasure is right!
It's worth it to break a little money to win the emperor's favor!
How did they know that this idea was actually given to the queen by Xiao Yao in the letter.
In order to shame the big men of the civil and military officials, and give them an example that they are forced to learn.
The ministers in the court also came back to their senses at this time, and praised several ladies to the emperor, and the words of praise were endless.
Prime Minister Li Chen also took the lead in donating 1,000 pounds of silver and 5,000 catties of grain.
Due to the situation, the ministers also began to donate, but no one refused to go beyond it, and the officials at the junior level donated much less money and food, and some officials only donated a few dozen taels of silver.
After a long day of excitement, more than 100 officials donated less than 30,000 taels of silver in total.
Xiao Yao, who had been hiding in the side hall and secretly observing, couldn't help but sneer. beckoned Steward Liu to give him some instructions, handed him the princess's jade plate, and let him go.
After about a cup of tea, the eunuch's voice came from the Jinluan Palace one after another: Princess Huayang sent a housekeeper to meet you!
Zhao Ruiyun's heart was shocked when he heard this, and Zhao Ruiyang immediately instructed the deacon and eunuch: "Pass!"
” Steward Liu has received many dignitaries including the emperor and queen in the villa, and has seen many big battles, and he has already experienced the honor and disgrace without being shocked, only to see him unhurriedly bowed and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, because the princess is a woman, it is inconvenient to appear in the court, and the grass people are the princess's housekeepers, so I sent the grass people to come to report on her behalf, please forgive your majesty for the sins of the grass people!"
” The emperor waved his hand lightly and said, "Since it is the princess's report, I forgive you for your innocence, get up and speak!"
” Steward Liu thanked him and got up to report: "The princess just went to the palace to see the queen mother, and heard that the queen mother led the harem to provide disaster relief to the victims, and the princess was not to be left behind, and immediately went back to the villa to raise donations.
On the order of my princess, the grass people came to report in advance, and the princess donated 1,000 catties of good seeds and 10,000 taels of silver to the court for disaster relief!
A total of 510,000 taels of silver!
In addition, donate 10,000 catties of ordinary wheat. ” As soon as these words came out, the court was full of anger, what a big hand!
Thinking about it carefully, many ministers began to slander Princess Huayang in their hearts for not knowing how to count, how did they calculate the five hundred and ten thousand taels?
I'm not afraid of jokes.
Immediately, a minister said: "Be bold steward!
Why can't even the words be passed clearly, how can a thousand catties of wheat seeds and 10,000 taels of silver be folded into 510,000 taels?
Could it be that your wheat seed is not 500 taels and 1 catties?
Is there a place for you to talk nonsense!
Think about it and play it again. ” Many ministers shook their heads and sneered, whispering in agreement.
Only the ten ministers who went to the villa a few days ago had no doubt when they heard it, and they were secretly happy in their hearts: the princess actually donated wheat seeds, and she must find a way to get the wheat seeds.
Zhao Ruiyang was also confused, Xiao Yao asked Zhao Ruiyun to carry a letter two days ago, only saying that everything had been done, and he was guaranteed to be able to raise 500,000 taels of silver.
It's not that wheat seeds are so expensive.
Steward Liu was not flustered at all in the face of everyone's discussion and reprimand, and said very calmly: "What this official said is good, my princess's wheat seeds are indeed excellent seeds of five hundred taels of silver and one catty, and twenty catties of this seed can be sown on one acre of land, and more than nine hundred catties of wheat can be beaten. ”
