Chapter 356: Loyalty or Disloyalty

When the officials below heard Yue Jingxuan's words of praise, they only felt that the roots of their teeth ached: Could it be that loyalty should be measured by how many silver taels they donated? It is said that the five of them are all people in charge of a state in Yunnan, and all the taxes in the fief do not have to be handed over to the emperor, but are uniformly allocated by each city lord.

Zhou Bing on the side also stood up: "Your Majesty, some time ago, because of the war, the family has been emptied a lot, and Weichen doesn't have much silver taels in his hands, so he is going to go back and sell his mansion, and then donate 1.2 million taels of silver, hoping to do a little bit for the people of Dayongguo." ”

Yue Jingxuan nodded with a little satisfaction: "Well, Zhou Aiqing is really my right-hand man." ”

Li Yuanzhou's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Zhou Bing with a face full of disbelief, hadn't they all been discussed before? If you want to donate silver taels, everyone will donate the same, why do you suddenly change your mind when you go to the top of the Golden Palace?

Duan Qi was not to be outdone: "Your Majesty, Weichen's family assets are not as rich as those of Lord Zhou and Lord Li, but thanks to the emperor's heavy use and love for Weichen, Weichen is really grateful, so he is willing to sell his property and donate 1.5 million taels of silver to help the people resume farming as soon as possible." ”

The ministers below couldn't help but look at Duan Qi with wide eyes and disbelief on their faces, you can make up 1.5 million taels of silver by selling your family property, could it be that the ground of your house is paved with gold bricks? How much money have you embezzled over the years of being the lord of the city?

Yue Jingxuan seemed extremely satisfied: "Well, Duan Aiqing is really the minister of the humerus of the Great Yongguo. ”

Hearing Yue Jingxuan's praise, the officials below were even more dumbfounded, and City Lord Li donated one million taels of silver, which was praised for his loyalty; The city lord of Zhou donated 1.2 million taels of silver and was known as his right-hand man; Duan City Lord generously took out 1.5 million taels, and he became the minister of the humerus of the country, and he dared to see if people were loyal to the emperor here, which was really measured by silver!

Feeling that the eyes of Li Yuanzhou and the others fell on him, Zan Bi couldn't help but feel in a dilemma, it had been discussed before, and each city lord took out one million taels of silver, but who would have thought that Zhou Bing and Duan Qi of the court suddenly changed their minds, one took more than the other, did he donate according to the previous agreement, or did he want to add more?

Li Yuanzhou noticed Zan Bi's hesitation, and hurriedly glared at him: Your father-in-law is here, if you dare to donate more, you will definitely not be able to ask for benefits when you turn back!

Zan Bi lowered his head and stepped forward to salute, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has just become the city lord of Zhaotong City, and he is not as deep as the other city lords. In the end, he knelt on the ground, and looked so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Li Yuanzhou took a breath secretly and grinded his back molars fiercely: Originally, I thought that this Zhan Bi was a loyal person, but now I don't know who to learn from, this cheek is thicker than himself! Cunning, really cunning, you must clean him up when you turn around!

Zhou Bing and Duan Qi secretly snorted coldly, and quietly moved their steps away from Li Yuanzhou and Zan Bi, these two people are worthy of being a family, their cheeks are thicker than the other, and they only want to show their faces in front of the emperor all day long, and they don't care about their own identity, so they disdain to be with them!

Yue Jingxuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a smile on his face: "Zan Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, I naturally see your loyalty, your loyalty is commendable, and I am very happy." ”

In this way, only Liangyou was left, and I saw him take a step forward and kneel down in the same way as Zan Bi: "Your Majesty, the minister is old and old, he doesn't have to live in the city lord's mansion, and he doesn't need so many people to serve, he only needs to leave a little silver taels to buy medicinal materials to recuperate his body, and the rest can be donated to help the people of Dayong Kingdom, Weichen calculated slightly, and he can take out about 1.87 million taels, and the remaining thousands of taels of silver are enough for the ministers to spend their old age in peace." ”

Yue Jingxuan stood up and walked off the throne, and personally helped Liangyou up: "Liang Aiqing is loyal to the sun and the moon, I have been so moved that I don't know what to say, so let's see which courtyard in the imperial capital can get into your eyes, although you pick it, but you should pay attention to the regulations when choosing, and wait for the end of the ceremony after the sealing, I will decree that you will be named the Marquis of Anguo, so you can't choose too small when choosing a house." ”

Liangyou was grateful, and bowed to Yue Jingxuan again: "The emperor is very loving, and Weichen is terrified, and in the future, he will definitely smear the emperor's liver and brain, do his best, and die." ”

Li Yuanzhou was already dumbfounded, when he was in Yunnan before, wasn't he the only one with thick skin? Why did you fight a battle, and after you entered the imperial capital, you grew crazy skin, who did you learn this from? Especially that good friend, it's shameless!

His bowels are blue with regret now, why can't he hold his breath and stand up first? If it's his turn to be at the end, learn from the faces of the previous people, and maybe he can also get a Hou Ye to be a pawn.

Yue Jingxuan returned to the throne and looked at the other silent officials: "What about the other adults, are you loyal to me now, or do you have other hearts?" ”

When the other officials heard this, they hurriedly stood up, racking their brains to think about what kind of property they had, how many silver taels they could sell, and now it is better to be loyal than to be suspected by the emperor of having other intentions and exempt the official from raiding the house.

Waiting for those officials to say almost, Yue Jingxuan instructed Tianshu: "Write it down carefully, I know that all the adults are loyal to me, and even some people have to donate more silver taels if they go bankrupt, and I am not a ruthless person, and then I will carefully check this official's family background, and always leave you enough silver taels to support your family." ”

Many officials immediately turned pale when they heard this, where is the emperor afraid that they will donate too much, obviously he wants to see how much money they still have, if there are 100,000 taels in the family, but only donate 50,000 taels, isn't that a second heart for the emperor? Some people were glad that they didn't hide their secrets, and some people hurriedly went to Tianshu, saying that they had just remembered wrongly, and suddenly remembered that there were still a few fields that could be sold, and they could add some more silver.

For a while, the whole hall was noisy like a vegetable market. Yue Jingxuan didn't care, and even ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a meal, so that the frightened officials could eat before going back.

Mu Yunlan settled Lin Zi'an and Lin Ye, and played with Mu Yunfan for a while, and then returned to the apse of the Lama Palace, and after a while, he saw Yue Jingxuan walking in with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Huang looks very happy, I think those courtiers should be very interesting, right?" The method of donating silver taels has been discussed a long time ago, but I don't know how it is implemented in the court today.

"It's really touching that they're all loyal to me."

Mu Yunlan smiled in her eyes: "But Uncle Huang's expression is full of mockery, and he really doesn't look like he is moved." ”

"A small five-grade official can take out 100,000 taels of silver, how can he not be moved?" Yue Jingxuan held Mu Yunlan's hand and pulled her to the side to sit down, "Yunlan, I'm afraid I'm going to be very busy in the next period of time, and I can't spare much time to take care of you, will you be bored?" ”

"How could it be, I was at my grandfather's place, and I suddenly received a letter from the Blue Bird, saying that my senior brother would come over in a few days, saying that he wanted to rebuild Fanghua Pavilion in the imperial capital, and he just wanted me to help!" Mu Yunlan clapped her hands, "Speaking of Senior Brother, I almost forgot that Da Bai was left outside, I haven't seen it for a while, and I will let someone bring it to the palace later." ”

Yue Jingxuan felt that he had lifted a stone and smashed himself in the foot, the reason why he said that was to let Yun Lan take the initiative to participate, and he could help Da Yongguo recover his life with him, who knew that a phoenix feather and a white tiger jumped out halfway, which made people angry.

"Yun Lan, it will take a lot of time and effort to help the people return to their hometowns and resume farming, I'm afraid I can't be busy myself, won't you help me?"

Mu Yunlan blinked her eyes in surprise: "Isn't there so many courtiers under the imperial uncle?" Besides, I heard my grandfather say that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and what you just said is the government affairs of the previous dynasty, and I can't get involved in it, I still want to think about how to help my brother rebuild Fanghua Pavilion, by the way, and my father's side, didn't there be news before, saying that it was a big victory? I should also prepare to see how the Mu family can be renovated, and when my father returns triumphantly, he can live in a brand-new mansion. ”

Yue Jingxuan was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "Yun Lan, although there is no official post-sealing ceremony yet, but your identity is already the queen, so do you know what is the greatest responsibility of being the mother of a country?" ”

Mu Yunlan was slightly puzzled: "The biggest responsibility? ”

Yue Jingxuan raised the corners of his lips, bent down and hugged the person: "As a queen, the biggest duty is naturally to spread the branches and extend the heirs for me, remember?" ”

"Uncle Huang!" Mu Yunlan exclaimed, and stretched out her hand to wrap Yue Jingxuan's arm, "Uncle Huang, it's not dark yet, don't you come nonsense, you are now the king of a country, your ...... Uh-huh......"

After a bit of nonsense, Mu Yunlan was lying on the bed tired and didn't want to move, Yue Jingxuan wrapped her in his arms, with a look of affection in his eyes, they have been together all the way to today, how many hardships and sufferings have been experienced, and all kinds of past memories have become the most precious memories, precipitated and then deep in the heart, making each other's love more intense and mellow.

"Yun Lan?"

"Huh?" Mu Yunlan was tired and ruthless, and responded in a daze at this time.

"I like you......"
