Chapter 128 Pledges

Early in the morning, in front of Suzaku's 'gate'.

Wang Ke arrived here early in the morning, with Wang Si standing beside him, followed by the housekeeper in the house and Uncle Wang, the housekeeper who rushed over from Zhuangzi. Behind them, there were more than a dozen carts parked, loaded with silver taels and grain that the Wang family had pulled from the mansion and the village.

Yesterday, on the way home, Wang Ke had already discussed with Wang Ke, and early this morning, he took out the surplus grain and some silver taels from his family and asked the prince to take them to Jiangnan for relief of the victims.

Of course, Wang Ke is also Wang Si, who took a lot of words to speak, in that era, no one had this kind of thinking, and wanted to contribute his family property for the use of the country. At that time, that is, the wealthy family, when there was a local disaster or there was a happy event in their own family, they would open a porridge shed to give alms for a few days, and there was really no such thing as Wang Ke who devoted everything he had.

After Wang Si was finally persuaded by Wang Ke, the two father and son arranged everything overnight, and Wang Si also told Wang Ke that whenever someone from the DPRK traveled, according to the custom, they would be in front of the Suzaku 'gate', and the emperor would personally see them off, and the Chinese military officials of the court would accompany them, and the people of Chang'an City would also be present, and the scene was very spectacular.

Wang Ke then discussed with Wang Si, and directly pulled the things here early this morning, and when Comrade Li Er arrived, he would talk to Comrade Li Er first and handle this matter.

Just after the hour, Comrade Li Er's car appeared in the 'gate' of Suzaku, and Wang Si touched Wang Ke and motioned him to go forward and explain the matter to Comrade Li Er.

Wang Ke understands that Wang Ke doesn't know how he should say it, so he has to say it himself, after all, he also came up with this matter by himself, and he can say it more clearly by himself.

Wang Ke walked to Comrade Li Er's car, saluted Comrade Li Er, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report to the emperor, and I ask the emperor for permission." ”

Comrade Li Er felt a little strange about what Wang Ke said, it is said that Wang Ke should report that something happened, but Wang Ke said a report; If it is a request, it should also ask Comrade Li Er to approve it, but Wang Ke said that it is allowed, so it seems that what Wang Ke wants to say will not be a major event in the court, but something in his family, but it is related to Comrade Li Er.

As soon as Comrade Li Er thought of this, and then thought of the incident of Lanling yesterday, he was a little surprised, in Comrade Li Er's mind, what Wang Ke wanted to say must be related to Lanling, is it...

Although Comrade Li Er did not believe that Wang Ke would do such a thing, with Comrade Li Er's understanding of Wang Ke and Wang Ke's boldness, Comrade Li Er was really a little afraid that Wang Ke would do this.

Comrade Li Er unconsciously asked, "Boy, don't you want to tell me that you are going to take a leave of absence from Lanling!" Yesterday was wrong in Lanling, but it didn't come to this point. ”

Wang Ke was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand why Comrade Li Er could ask himself like this, and said blankly: "What did the emperor say, how could the minister leave the princess." The minister just has something to say to the emperor, nothing else. ”

When Comrade Li Er heard Wang Ke say this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't care about what was wrong with Wang Ke's tone, and hurriedly asked: "That kid, if you have anything to say to me, tell me and listen to it." ”

Wang Ke clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, after the minister and his father went home last night, they discussed and decided to give my family's surplus grain and some silver taels to the court to help the victims, and asked the emperor to fulfill the wishes of the ministers and others." ”

Comrade Li Er was stunned for a moment, he really had never encountered this kind of thing, and there were also cases where the imperial court had collected the property of the minister's family into the treasury, but it was all committed by the minister, and it was confiscated by the imperial court.

Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while. The minister standing next to him was also stunned by the conversation between the two, and they didn't expect that Wang Ke would find Comrade Li Er early in the morning to do this. Regarding Wang Ke's move, they unanimously agreed that Wang Ke did not rest well yesterday and his brain was broken.

There is a minister who has a good relationship with Wang Si, and he has quietly 'drawn' to find Wang Si, wanting to tell Wang Si that Wang Ke is doing something that only a madman does, and he wants Wang Si to go quickly, dissuade Wang Ke, and don't let him lose this face in front of Comrade Li Er. Who knows, Wang Si also gave the same statement as them, and emphasized that what Wang Ke said was the result of their family's discussion, which made these ministers almost lose their big teeth.

Comrade Li Er asked puzzledly: "Boy, what do you mean by this, can you explain it to me?" ”

Wang Ke's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River is the responsibility of the imperial court to rescue. However, the minister also knows that the current expenditure of the imperial court is not small, and there is not much money and food that can be used. Although the minister does not have much savings at home, he does not know how many times better than the people who are now being affected by the disaster. I am willing to do my best to help these victims through this difficult time. Please also ask the emperor to fulfill it. ”

Wang Ke's words moved Comrade Li Er and the ministers present a little in their hearts.

Comrade Li Er looked at Wang Ke and said with an 'excited' expression: "I didn't expect the kid to have such a 'chest', which really moved me." It's just that for the disaster relief, the court has its own arrangements, so the kid doesn't have to take out his own money. The imperial court still has this ability. I will not let the ministers of the court pay out of their own pockets for the sake of disaster relief in this area. ”

Wang Ke saw that Comrade Li Er did not accept his idea, so he had to say patiently: "Your Majesty, it is different for the imperial court to fund disaster relief and for ministers to donate their family's belongings. It is the responsibility of the court to do this, and it is the morality of the minister to do this! This 'sexual' nature is different. The minister's move is just to let the world know that as a citizen of my Datang, no matter who he is, as long as he is contributing to the Datang, the court will not ignore him; If there is a problem, the imperial court will help him, and other Tang people will also lend a helping hand to him. The minister just wants to let the people understand that everything the emperor and the court do is to make the Tang Dynasty strong and prosperous, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Wang Ke stopped talking, calmed down his mood and continued: "There is another reason, didn't the emperor issue a holy decree yesterday, asking the Yin Shi family in the disaster area to lend the surplus grain to the court first, and then the court will make up for them after the disaster has passed. Chen was thinking that this matter should be a little difficult. The minister's move was to tell these people that the ministers of the court had taken out their own money and donated it, and did not ask for it to be returned, so that these people could borrow food with peace of mind. Please understand the emperor! ”

After Wang Ke finished speaking, everyone present was silent, completely immersed in what Wang Ke had just said.

Suddenly, a voice from the crowd came out: "Okay, donate!" The old man also pledged 1,000 taels of silver and 100 quintals of grain. ”

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by this voice, Wang Ke took a look, but saw Fang Xuanling walking out of the crowd with a smile.

Fang Xuanling walked up to Comrade Li Er, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao Wang's move is really a good deed, and I hope the emperor will fulfill it." ”

As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, he saw Du Ruhui also standing beside Fang Xuanling and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Xiao Wang's mind is more thoughtful than ours, and he has tried every means to make it smoothly implemented the decrees issued by the imperial court, for which the old man really admires. The old man also expressed his stance here, and the old man also donated 1,000 taels of silver and 100 quintals of grain to the affected people! ”

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling openly supported Wang Ke's move, which immediately set off a 'wave' among the ministers, and the ministers no longer thought about Comrade Li Er's failure to accept Wang Ke's donation, and they all said how much they would donate.

Comrade Li Er saw that he couldn't agree now, and the emotions of the ministers had been ignited by Wang Ke and the others, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "Okay, okay, who are you going to tell like this?" ”

Wang Ke's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, let's do this, hurry up and find an adult to count it, see how much everyone is willing to donate, record it with the emperor's list, and post it in front of the Suzaku 'door'." Let the people know that the officials of my Datang care about the people, and when the people are affected by disasters, they all enthusiastically donate their small savings to help the people affected by disasters. In this way, it can also 'inspire' all the people of Datang to contribute to the people in the affected areas. ”

Comrade Li Er said with some unhappiness: "Is it because you can donate, but I can't donate?" ”

As soon as Wang Ke heard it, he knew that Comrade Li Er was seeing that the ministers were donating, and he was also a little moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "How can it be, the emperor's name must be written first, and we are only doing this under the inspiration of the emperor." The emperor cares about the people of the world and is a model for us! ”

Wang Ke's sycophant shot made Comrade Li Er's whole body feel comfortable, and Comrade Li Er's face was 'colorful', and he designated the eldest grandson Wuji to start this matter immediately.

The ministers present all had some contempt for Wang Ke in their hearts, obviously it was he who asked for the donation of his own money at the beginning, which drove everyone to do so. As a result, Comrade Li Er now cares about the people of the world and takes the lead in donating to the disaster area. However, these people also have to admire Wang Ke's quick turn, and he immediately highlighted the image of Comrade Li Er's Mingjun. In this way, I don't know how many people's hearts have won Comrade Li Er.

After all, Fang Xuanling has seen a lot of government affairs, and although this is the first time he has encountered this kind of scene, after a little thought, he thought of a way to better publicize the effect of today's matter.

Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said to Comrade Li Er: "Your Majesty, today's time is in a hurry, what the ministers see, why don't you do this?" ”

Comrade Li Er saw him come forward to talk about things, and knew that he had thought about everything thoroughly, so he asked, "Fang Aiqing, what do you think should happen?" ”

Fang Xuanling pointed at Wang Ke and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang's proposal is good, but now I want to send the prince on his journey, and the time is not as late, as seen by the ministers, it is better to 'hand' over this matter to the household department, and all the property donated by the adults will be 'handed over' to the household department, and the household department will make a register for registration, and after all the donated money and materials are collected, they will be transported to Jiangnan in a unified manner." The list of all donors shall be published by the imperial court. ”

Wang Ke didn't wait for Comrade Li Er to speak, and immediately stepped forward and said: "What Lord Fang said is very true, the minister didn't think about it just now, or Lord Fang thought it through, please let the emperor approve it, and implement it according to Lord Fang's method." ”

Comrade Li Er didn't understand how to do it, whoever said a way would have done it, and now seeing that Wang Ke said that he had not thought through everything just now, he agreed with what Fang Xuanling said, so he agreed.

Seeing that there was no need to rush to write now, the eldest grandson Wuji stopped writing, wiped the sweat on his head and said, "That's good, the old man can also rest." Just now, the adults were all around the old man, and the old man was afraid that he would delay the time when the prince departed, so he was really in a hurry. ”

Wang Ke cupped his fist apologetically to the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "It's all the little nephew who slammed into it, which made the eldest grandson tired." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand absently and said, "I don't blame you, you are also kind." ”

At this time, as the time came, the prince and his entourage saluted Comrade Li Er, and then went south along Suzaku Street.
