The ten-day period was soon approaching the last two days, and the palace had already sent two people in a row to urge each house.

However, Han, Zhang, Meng, and Luo's mansions naturally all made a state of trying their best to raise money everywhere, and there was nothing that could be directly arrested by the emperor.

After all, everyone knows that raising money is not so simple, and the palace people who were sent over to run errands to inquire about the progress have no other qualifications to interfere, and they can't say what the specific preparations will look like. So every time I take the benefits of others, when I go back to the palace, I just pick up some words that I can hear and talk about.

After all, everyone is in full preparation, anyway, it won't take two days to see how it will be.

In fact, in the past few days, everyone in the capital has been busy with all kinds of things, and the emperor is the same, and it is impossible to keep his eyes on the three kings and four families all the time.

Months of natural disasters have caused unimaginable consequences, and there are too many things for the emperor to deal with besides silver. And the result is always, this end has just been pressed down, and something has come out of that head, and after the other end is disposed of, I don't know where the proofing has appeared and other other problems.

The emperor's life has been like an ant on the hot nest, but the ultimate root cause of everything cannot be removed, so no matter how much he suppresses it, it can only be a temporary effect.

Perhaps in response to the old saying, many debtors did not panic, and the emperor soon became accustomed to this kind of anxious life, as if it had become the norm.

Even Han Jiangxue couldn't help but admire the old emperor's relief. At least in this regard, the crown prince is still a lot worse than the emperor.

And in the past few days, Han Jiangxue learned from her brother. In addition to wooing their Han family, the prince also secretly said to the other families, although the way each family responded differently, but on the whole, no one was stupid enough to respond to the prince's so-called alliance.

Of course, the Zheng and Wang families are excepted.

Because the prince did not implement such a gentle co-optation policy for these two families at all, and because of this. Therefore, it is even more certain that these two have already been bought by the emperor.

Or, in the future, the three kings and the four families can change their names, and the three kings and the two families can just change their names!

Mo, Han, Zhang, Meng, and Luo are not as easy to win over as the prince. The Mo family never thought of attaching themselves to any one of the royal family, the Han family has always been at odds with the crown prince, and the daughters of the Meng and Luo families are all in the palace, even if they can't resist the high pressure, they will give in to the emperor. And it is impossible to go far and near. stupidly accompanied the whole clan to support the prince.

It is precisely because of the difficulty of this that the prince touched his head and believed Han Yajing's words, believing that the so-called list really existed, and wanted to find an opportunity to persuade the families to secretly help him in that way.

It's a pity that now Mo, Han, Zhang, Meng, and Luo have all seen the faces of these people in the royal family early, and even if they want to resist, they will be holding into fists, which is much safer and more stable than anything else.

When there was still one day left before the deadline given by the emperor, the four families of Han, Zhang, Meng, and Luo entered the palace to meet the emperor in accordance with the original plan. Sincerely ask for sin. As for the Zheng and Wang families, no one pays attention to them anymore, and whatever they do, they are whatever they want.

The rhetoric of the four schools is different. But it's the same two words - no money!

The prince of Meng's palace was very cute, and he cried directly to the emperor about poverty, saying that his legs were about to break these days, and in the end he didn't get a single money, but he was deceived into some good things that were originally intended to be exchanged for cash.

King Meng also bluntly said that it was not easy to store these good things, and he was deceived by someone for such a vain that he almost killed him.

Many of the industries of Mengwangfu are in those hard-hit areas, not to mention making money now, you have to build it every day, and the last time you made up enough 100,000 taels that were still temporarily sold some field shops, and now even some of the treasures at the bottom are gone, and there is really no way.

Luo Wangfu was much more direct, and immediately brought out a lot of evidence and presented it to the emperor, shouting for the emperor to make the decision for Luo Wangfu.

Only Daoluo Wangfu, in Huaizhou, Muxian and other places, many grain stores were looted, and the losses were huge. At the moment, don't talk about one million taels, that is, the working capital in various places is too tight, and one head is two big.

King Luo implored the emperor to send someone to take care of those victims, no matter how they were, they couldn't be smashed and looted like this, after all, they were all disaster relief all the way through the expense and effort, and now they have become like this, even if it is not easy to say that it is chilling, it is too much to discourage their enthusiasm.

This Luo Wang's complaint has just basically ended, and the head of the Zhang family also opened his mouth, but unlike the first two princes, the head of the Zhang family does not cry poor, nor does he sue, but seriously calculates the accounts of the Zhang family with the emperor.

It turned out that the Zhang family had inherited the supply of grain and grass for some of the imperial court since a few years ago, and things were sent over properly, but nine times out of ten, the silver was not returned on time and in quantity.

Up to now, the imperial court has long owed a large amount of huge debts to the Zhang family, and the other businesses of the Zhang family have been burdened by these debts, and they have to make up for a little money, and there is no extra money at all.

Even the nearly 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver taels last time were forcibly stripped from everywhere, and now they haven't slowed it back, and if they want to raise a million taels, they don't have to do anything else unless they sell the Zhang family.

Although the head of the Zhang family is not as vivid as the previous ones, compared with his two princes, what he said is more clear in the emperor's heart. Therefore, the emperor's face is becoming more and more embarrassed, getting darker and darker, but it is really not good to get angry directly at the head of the Zhang family.

After all, no matter what, even if you owe a debt, even if you are the emperor and the uncle, there is no reason to do things in public that are generally scoundrels and scold the creditors.

"Gong Han, this will be the only time you don't speak, I want to hear what kind of reason your Han family can find out why you can't get the money?" Almost all the anger shouted out in annoyance, and the emperor really pinched the persimmon softly, and directly prepared all the fire to the Han family in one breath.

It's no wonder that the emperor would pick the Han family, the Meng and Luo families are also the emperor's in-laws on the surface, and he still has to call King Meng and King Luo his father-in-law in the people! And the Zhang family is his number one creditor, but the Han family is the best to be angry.

Seeing this, Han Feng was not in a hurry, and he was not frightened by Long Yan's anger.

"Back to the emperor, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" Han Feng sighed and said slowly: "The main industries of the Han family are not distributed in those places that have been severely affected, and they have not been affected much, let alone a large amount of arrears that cannot be recovered. ”

When it came to the large amount of arrears, the emperor's face was even more ugly, but Han Feng just didn't see it, and continued: "It's just that our Han family is even more unlucky, and there is something that we have never dared to say to the public, but now we can't say it again." A few months ago, my third brother was seriously injured by gangsters on the way back to Beijing for no reason, and many servants died. ”

"Hey, in order to save the child, there is no way to lose a whole million taels like this, our Han family's financial resources are already limited, and that one million taels almost didn't make other business turnover collapse. Later, the emperor asked everyone to give money to help the disaster, but they could only borrow tens of thousands of taels from the money bank. If you want to take out another million taels like this, I'm afraid that even if you sell our Han family, it will be impossible! ”

Han Feng deliberately mentioned this matter, and then said in front of Emperor Han: "If you don't believe it, your emperor, you can send someone to investigate, the case is still hanging in the capital mansion, there were some clues, and the bodies of two murderers who were seriously injured and robbed were found, who knew that ...... would be allowed later."

Before he finished speaking, just when he was about to point out the key secret, the emperor interrupted Han Feng's words in a timely manner and did not let him continue in public.

"That's enough, let's talk about it, you just don't want to pay any more!"

The emperor's face had turned black to the bottom of the pot, and since these families did not intend to follow his will at all, then he naturally could not have anything polite: "No one should cry poor in front of me, even if what you just said is true, will you still be more unable to get money than the Zheng family and the Wang family?" The Zheng family's Wang family sent someone to make it clear yesterday, saying that one million taels was basically ready! That's right, each family has its own difficulties, don't the Zheng family and the Wang family have it? Not to mention that they are already much worse than a few of you! ”

"As I said early on, all problems are not problems, the real problem is that you are not willing at all, it is your attitude that is problematic!"

The emperor slapped his hand and rebuked loudly: "Do you think that it is enough for several families to unite and ignore all of them? Do you think that my will is a useless piece of paper? ”

This kung fu is not only regarded as Long Yan's anger, but the main thing is that the emperor also began to pick up the will to speak, and the next thing is naturally to say that several families deliberately disobeyed the will.

Seeing this, the heads of the Meng, Luo, Zhang, and Han families hurriedly said in unison: "The emperor is angry, we have no such intention!" ”

Several families advanced and retreated together, and the appearance of unity greatly stimulated the emperor: "No such intention? I see how bold you are! It's all for me, the ten-day deadline is still not negotiable, and there is not so much to bargain for! Since both Zheng and Wang can do it, none of you should find a reason to find an excuse to confuse the past and ignore it, otherwise you will not be spared! (To be continued......)
