There are more and more refugees flocking to the capital, although Prime Minister Lin Cheng and others have found someone to build a shed, and even give a porridge shack, but because of the increase in refugees, the food that could have supported more than 20 days is gone in a blink of an eye, and this is the tenth day of soup porridge.

"Prime Minister Lin, what should I do? The rice is gone. ”

"What to do?! If you look for me, I can't spit out food for you, and report it directly to you. ”

Prime Minister Lin frowned, there were so many refugees, fortunately they were not allowed to enter the city at the beginning, otherwise there would be chaos with so many people.

The next day, when the morning court was in the morning, several people from the household department told the truth, and the emperor frowned after hearing this:

"Didn't you say that you were given enough food for twenty days? How is it so fast?! ”

"Back to the emperor, there are really a lot of refugees, and this food is not enough at all."

Shen Shang, the head of the household, knelt there, and his words were sincere:

"Your Majesty, the allocated food can only last for one day at most, there are too many refugees, and if you continue to give money like this, you will definitely empty the court."

Shen Shang's words are as direct as they are, but he really has no choice, Prime Minister Lin handed over the burden to him, but he is just a small Shangshu, where can he go to get food? !

"Weichen has an idea, there are so many refugees outside the city, everyone is the official of the court, eating the court, spending the court, and now the court is in trouble, it is better to let everyone work together, be kind and charitable, and donate everything that can be donated, which can also reduce the pressure on the court."

Tang Guanxiong stood up, and now in this situation, no one wants to stand up and be this bad guy, so he will do it, and then continued:

"Wechen is willing to donate 10,000 taels and 10 quintals of grain."

The officials who originally wanted to refute Tang Guanxiong also stopped saying that Tang Guanxiong took out so much for a while.

"The minister's family has a meager background, but he is willing to donate a thousand taels."

"The minister is willing to donate two thousand taels."

"The minister's family still has some grain, and he is willing to donate five loads of grain and five hundred taels."

All of a sudden, everyone stood up one after another, although none of Tang Guanxiong was wealthy, but they all more or less took out some family funds.

"Erchen is willing to donate 50,000 taels."

The second prince suddenly stood up, and his words caused everyone to look at him, but he didn't have any fear, and his face was calm:

"Although Erchen has not been very reliable over the years, he still has some spare money in his hand, and this time the court is in trouble, and Erchen is willing to take out 50,000 taels to do his best."

The eldest prince stood aside and wanted to speak, but when he heard the second prince come out of this, he couldn't say the five thousand taels in his mouth.

glanced at Prime Minister Lin and saw that he made a gesture for himself, and then the eldest prince stood up:

"Erchen is also willing to donate 10,000 taels, although it is not as good as the royal brother, but this is also Erchen's heart."

The third prince naturally couldn't show weakness, and directly donated 15,000 taels.

The emperor looked at his son with relief, and finally did something happy to do.

"We have all donated, I don't know how much the prince plans to donate?"

The third prince looked at Shangguan Feng, who had been silent, and opened his mouth.

"The minister donated a thousand taels."

"Hehe, Shizi, your thousand taels are inevitably too little, right?! Everyone knows that when the prince got married, the dowry went around the capital, why, now that the country is in trouble, why did the prince only donate so much? ! ”

The eyes of the people around him looked at the prince of the world and showed a hint of weirdness, who doesn't know that the son of the world is rich, only a thousand taels, and he can also say it, this son of the world is really, and it's too stingy, right?!

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Shangguan Feng looked directly at the emperor:

"Wechen donated 1,000 taels of gold. As for the grain, Wechen is willing to donate a hundred loads. ”

After hearing this, everyone retracted their surprised gaze, a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and a hundred loads of grain, which was already a lot.

Everyone went down to the court, and the eldest prince walked quickly to Shangguan Feng:

"Cousin, usually your father loves you so much, but when you are in trouble, you donated a mere 10,000 taels of silver, how can you be worthy of your father's favor for you?!"

"The eldest prince, the minister has become a family, and he is also a person who needs to support his family."

"No matter how much you support your family, it's only 10,000 taels, it's too little, right?!"

Shangguan Feng glanced at the eldest prince and shook his head:

"The eldest prince doesn't know, this person is different from those who have not yet become a family, and you shouldn't be able to understand the feelings of a family person like me."

After saying that, he left, and the eldest prince had a gloomy face in the back.

When Hubu Shangshu and Gonggong Li went to collect the money, Shangguan Feng directly took out 20,000 taels of silver tickets, of which 10,000 taels belonged to Prince An.

And when they arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion and saw the empty mansion of the Second Prince, the two of them couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Second prince, your house, what is this?"

"Fifty thousand taels of silver, I haven't done anything serious all these years, how can I take out so much at once? No, thinking that his father was in trouble, he sold the valuable things in the family, and he could make up a little more. ”

The second prince explained with some embarrassment,

"Well, why don't you wait a while, the housekeeper hasn't come back yet, it's estimated that he'll be back in a while."

Gonggong Li and Shen Shang had no choice but to sit down, after all, their task today was to collect the money quickly so that they could help those refugees outside the city.

Although the two of them sat there, their eyes were looking around, and it was really not an exaggeration to say that the four walls of the house were empty, there was nothing decorated, and the living room was empty only a few tables, and the rest of the things were not at all.

These two princes are really poor.

Shen Shang couldn't help but despise the second prince in his heart, he didn't have such a great ability at all, and he even boasted about Haikou in the main hall, which was really stupid.

As for Gonggong Li, when he saw the situation in the second prince's family, he also had a plan in his heart, originally he came here this time to see how much ability the second prince had to come up with 50,000 taels.

After all, 50,000 taels is not a small amount, and the second prince's mother concubine is just a civilian woman, and there is no strong maternal protection at all.

"Second prince, the flowers are here."

A hint of surprise flashed on the second prince's face, I don't know what Hua Mo is doing here at this time, after all, Hua Mo is the right-hand man of the concubine's side.

"Let her in."

When Hua Mo saw the figure of Gonggong Li, his body paused, and he didn't know how to say it for a while.

"Flowers, but what's the matter with the concubine?"
