Seeing that the court was unprecedentedly quiet for a moment, Wang Mang's mind suddenly cleared up.

Wang Mang suddenly remembered that neither Wang Yongji nor Li Hong had said anything about Yiheyuan for a long time, if Wang Mang thought that the two of them were emotional and forgot about it just now, then now Wang Mang reflected that the money was not forgotten by them, but by them intentionally or unintentionally.

In this turbulent undercurrent court, anything that seems unintentional is never really unintentional.

But it is precisely because there is no turning back from the bow, as the emperor, he naturally has to say a word, and he must not say half of it, otherwise the time is constant, who will put the emperor in his eyes.

"How about the money in this Yiheyuan?" Wang Mang looked at Li Hong and said, "Can this money be moved first?" ”

"This money is for the Queen Mother to repair the garden. Li Hong frowned secretly, looked at Wang Mang and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's garden court has been delayed for two years, but it can't be delayed any longer." ”

"That's right, Your Majesty, please think twice, the Queen Mother's money for repairing the garden can't be saved. The courtiers chimed in.

The reaction of the courtiers made Wang Mang stunned, he seemed to remember that in the era when he came, it seems that there was a queen mother in history who would rather use the money to build a manor for herself than spend money to update the equipment of the army, and the final result was the death of the country.

Thinking of the death of the country, Wang Mang suddenly became excited, this kind of thing happens to others is naturally happy, but it is not so wonderful when it happens to himself.

This queen mother is really, she has nothing to do to repair a garden, the country is so difficult that your old man can not know, he has nothing to do and spend money to repair the garden, if this money does not keep up, and the country is destroyed, it will be unlucky.

After thinking about it, Wang Mang felt that he had just arrived, so he should listen to what was going on before making a decision, so Wang Mang looked at Li Hong and asked, "Li Shangshu, the money for repairing the garden really can't be moved?"

"Your Majesty, this money was set as early as two years ago, and then every budget meeting in the past two years was included in the budget of the current year, but what, the court did not spend more money in the first two years, so this money has not been allocated, and this year's finance is a little rich, last time our six ministries unanimously decided to allocate the money to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, you all know. Li Hong said slowly.

"I'll ask you whether the money can be moved or not. Wang Mang was a little unhappy, these old guys, the level of kicking ball nonsense is very high, after talking for a long time, it seems that he has said a lot of things, but in essence, there are no things at all.

"Your Majesty, this is your family matter, and it is inconvenient for foreign ministers to interfere. Li Hong held back for a long time.

"Wang Shangshu, what do you think?" Wang Mang saw that Li Hong was silent, and looked at Wang Yongji again, and said in his heart, how did this Nima do it, how to say it, it has become my business.

"Your Majesty, the minister, like Li Shangshu, is also a foreign minister. "The king said with auspiciousness.

Wang Yongji's words made Wang Mang stunned again, this Wang Yongji just asked for money and asked for it very loudly, but now he gave the money, but he suddenly stopped talking.

Could it be that the queen mother's money is so hot? No one dares to take this money? Wang Mang said silently in his heart.

"Then you can't do that, and you can't do that. Wang Mang saw that the court was quiet, and no one spoke, thinking that he was now unknown in form, so he had to follow the scoundrel, so he said: "Then you should think about it, what should I do about this matter?"

As soon as Li Hong and the others heard it, the emperor kicked the ball back again, so the court instantly turned back into a vegetable market, and the courtiers argued smoothly.

Seeing the fierce quarrel among the courtiers, Wang Mang looked at the little eunuch standing beside him and asked, "Little Dengzi, what do you think of the money for the Queen Mother to repair the garden?"

This little eunuch's name is Deng Fang, he looks like a jade, Danfeng eyes, if he is not a eunuch, Wang Mang feels that he is definitely a Pan An-like character when he is released from the palace, but it is a pity that he is a eunuch.

Deng Fangzheng honestly stood beside Wang Mang, and suddenly heard Wang Mang's question, he was startled, although he was not very old, but he was also an "old man" who had been with the emperor for a long time, and in the past, he was only responsible for roaring "something to start, nothing to retreat from the court", this gentleman's prelude to the right thing has never happened.

And Deng Fang also found that the emperor who behaved normally in the past behaved a little abnormally today, but Deng Fang has a lot of self-knowledge about each person's own snow, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, he is just a little eunuch, just follow the master honestly.

But at this time, Wang Mang's question made Deng Fang think a lot in his mind, and felt that this was an opportunity for himself, after all, he had never replied to a few questions from the emperor in his life, and he still had such a valuable question.

If he returns well and gets the favor of the saint, maybe his little Deng Zi will soon become Deng Ye.

"Your Majesty, this money is available, but the ministers are afraid that they will not allow it. Deng Fang thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a reply that he felt was a bit level.

Wang Mang was a little dissatisfied with Deng Fang's answer, holding back his eyes at Deng Fang, Wang Mang asked, "Why not?"

"Rumors. Deng Fang gritted his teeth and said.

"What rumors?" asked Wang Mang.

The minion didn't dare to say it. Deng Fang replied.

"What dare you not say. Wang Mang said: "Today in front of me, I can let you know everything, no matter what you say, I will forgive you for your innocence." ”

"Your Majesty, this ......" Deng Fang was a little embarrassed and looked left and right.

"Hmm. Wang Mang nodded and said, "I understand, I ask you, do you think this money can be moved or not?"

"Your Majesty, the slave is from Lishui, and it is the front line where the imperial court and the rebels are stuck now, and the slave naturally hopes that the imperial court will allocate funds as soon as possible, so that the soldiers on the front line can defeat the rebels with a full stomach. ”

Wang Mang nodded, looked at the noisy ministers in the court, and couldn't help but feel a little upset, so he suddenly spoke: "I have listened to you for a long time, but I can't come up with any constructive suggestions, but you tell me whether the soldiers in the south need these 100,000 taels of silver." ”、

"Yes. The ministers spoke.

"Then I will ask you again, can the imperial court come up with another 100,000 taels of silver now?" Wang Mang said again.

"No, you can't. The ministers shook their heads.

"Does the Queen Mother's garden have to be repaired, if it is not repaired, there will be very serious things that endanger the society of the country. Wang Mang said again.

"Not really. "Ministers, look at me, I'll look at you, and finally shook their heads, it's really not that they can't argue well, but that Wang Mang's problem is too tricky, the emperor can say this, and the minister can't say it.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's money for repairing the garden really can't be moved. Zhao Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and spoke at this time.

Wang Mang glanced at Zhao Xin deeply, raised his eyebrows and said: "The court officials' money can't be moved, the hundred officials are unwilling, the money for post-war reconstruction can't be moved, the disaster victims are unwilling, the money for repairing the city wall can't be moved, and the people in the capital are unwilling, so you should tell me, how did this money come from? Is it difficult for me to make money for the big guys? You can tell me how you can make money for me?"
