Chapter 4: I want to be respectful

Weichen can't do it?

Wang Mang's eyes froze, looked at Li Hongdao, and said, "Can't I even be the master of this 100,000 taels?"

Wang Mang's voice fell, Li Hong pushed Jin Shan and poured the jade pillar to kneel on the ground, Wang Mang's words can be said to be that he Li Hong was roasted on the fire at once, which would burn him Li Hong to ashes if he was not careful.

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Li Hong said tremblingly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, these 100,000 taels were allocated to the Queen Mother's palace yesterday, how can this money be given back as soon as it is given, and Weichen doesn't have the courage to go to the Queen Mother to ask for money, Your Majesty must make it clear!"

"Mingxuan?" Wang Mang sneered and said, "How does Li Shangshu think I can be considered Mingxuan?"

"Uh......" Li Hong looked stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, Wang Mang's words were really tricky, no matter how he Li Hong answered, it seemed to be wrong.

"Master Li, you have always been unhappy to give money, why did you give the money to the Queen Mother's palace so quickly this time. Fortunately, at this time, Wang Yongji, who had been at odds with Li Hong, suddenly spoke, which could be regarded as relieving Li Hong.

"It's really not that I give the money to be happy," Li Hong secretly gave Wang Yongji a grateful look, and said: "This time, I think the money for repairing the garden must be given, and the Queen Mother is urging her, so she transferred the money yesterday." ”

"The Queen Mother's money is so happy, and the money of our people is not happy. Wang Yongji said: "Li Shangshu is really a double standard!"

"Isn't there anything I can't do about it!" Li Hong sighed often, turned his head to look at Wang Mang and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, please Your Majesty to surrender!"

"What are you guilty of?" Wang Mang looked at Li Hong and said, "You want to tell me what your crime is?"

"Minister......" Li Hong secretly scolded his mother, and said in his heart What kind of gunpowder did His Majesty eat today, why did he always go with himself, his so-called "guilty" is just to be polite, how can the emperor really climb up the pole to ask for guilt, not to mention that Li Hong really doesn't think that he is guilty.

"Forget it, I don't know you like you anymore. Wang Mang snorted coldly: "I won't worry too much about your affairs, but the so-called capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped......"

"Your Majesty, the minister is not in good health. Li Hong heard Wang Mang say, and his frightened heart was instantly like falling into a number of cold caves, it was cold and cold, what is it called a living crime that cannot be escaped, is it so easy to escape?

"What does it have to do with your body?" Wang Mang watched the film and television dramas to the fullest, naturally knowing that his words had a misunderstanding in Li Hong's ears, but Wang Mang still wanted to tease Li Hong.

"Doesn't Your Majesty want to reward the courtiers with a staff?" Li Hong said cautiously.

"Court staff?" Wang Mang groaned, this is a novelty, but if he has the opportunity, he wants to give it a try, looking at this Li Hong as if he was very scared.

"Could it be that the minister is really thinking too much. Seeing Wang Mang groaning, Li Hong couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, he really lost his level today, and it can be said that he was led by our nose.

"You're thinking too much. Wang Mang said lightly: "Do I look like such a violent person?"

"No, no. Li Hong shook his head quickly and said loudly: "Your Majesty is the king of sage, the king of benevolence and righteousness......"

"What do you mean is that if I give you the scepter, I am not the king of the Holy Wisdom, the king of benevolence and righteousness......"

"Naturally not, Your Majesty ......"

"Forget it, you don't need to say more, what you think in your heart, I naturally know it. Wang Mang interrupted Li Hong's defense and said: "My so-called living crime is inescapable, but it is simple, and it is just to punish you for this year's money!"

"Ahh

As soon as Wang Mang's voice fell, he saw Li Hong screaming and falling to the ground, the expression on his face was extremely distorted, as if he had been seriously injured, and Wang Mang was stunned for a moment.

What's going on?

It's just a little bit of money, you are a God of Wealth, can you still care about this money.

Wang Mang really thought wrong about this, Li Hong is indeed the God of Wealth, and he really does not lack this bit of money, but almost the entire court knows that Li Hong is really greedy for money, and it is difficult for Li Hong to take out even a penny of silver on weekdays.

Wang Mang fined Li Hong a year's money, which can really be said to make Li Hong's crime inescapable.

Li Hong cried with a sad face as if he had lost three souls and seven spirits, but the ministers of the court were even more in awe of Wang Mang.

Our majesty is extremely powerful, today is really making Li Shangshu inescapable, the ministers silently mourned for Li Hong in their hearts, and they were also extremely jealous of Wang Mang's methods, this majesty is picking up the weakness of the big guy.

Wang Mang originally just wanted to make a joke with Li Hong, but he really didn't expect it to have such a profound impact.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are grateful!" Li Hong relieved his emotions for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, this punishment is accepted by the minister, but the money is ......."

"You don't have to worry about money. Wang Mang shook his head and said, "I will personally handle this matter, go to the Queen Mother to discuss it, I believe that the Queen Mother must understand the righteousness." ”

"Your Majesty can't ......," Zhao Xin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly spoke.

"What does Zhao Shangshu think?" Wang Mang said with some displeasure: "Could it be that Zhao Shangshu can make up for the lack of 100,000 taels of silver." ”

"Minister......" Zhao Xin held back the words that came to his lips and said, "The minister just hopes that His Majesty will think twice." ”

"What is there to think again. Wang Mang said coldly: "But if you have a way, do I need to go to the Queen Mother to ask for this money? ”

"Ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths!" When the ministers heard Wang Mang say this, they all knelt on the ground, shouting again and again, and they were sincere and sincere.

Wang Mang twitched his cheeks and said: "Get up, if you can turn the money out, what's the use if you can't change it, okay, what else do you have to do, if you have something to do, you have nothing to do, and you have nothing to retreat." ”

Deng Fang, who was standing beside Wang Mang, was stunned, how could His Majesty rob his life, could it be that he didn't like himself, did he accidentally say the wrong thing? Could it be that he was going to lose his job?

The ministers are also you look at me, I look at you, confused, but they can hear the impatience in the emperor's mouth, so they all have long eyes and say that they are fine.

"Retreat!"

Deng Fang saw that the ministers were all right, and roared anxiously, and then helped Wang Mang get up with an extremely respectful attitude and walked outside the main hall, but Wang Mang seemed to look at him unpleasantly today, how to walk a little fast.

"Your Majesty, you go slowly!" Deng Fang reminded in a low voice as he felt the eyes floating around him.

Wang Mang said secretly in his heart, and quickened his pace, until he withdrew from the main hall, then he covered his lower abdomen, and looked at Deng Fangdao with a somewhat distorted expression: "I want to be respectful." ”
