Chapter 44: Ghost Talent
Fu Yao was holding his forehead and was heartbroken for the affairs of the eldest prince, and he didn't even use much for lunch.
Tang Siru was proud because he was angry, and found that Fu Yao didn't seem to be in a good mood, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't there something unhappy? "Could it be that Fu Yao likes Yurui? He was not happy to see that he was angry? Thinking of this, Tang Siru's inexplicable face was difficult to look at, and even the rice in the bowl was not fragrant, and a pair of eyes stared at Fu Yao.
Fu Yao smiled bitterly: "The queen ordered, first, from now on, I will have to ask her about my food and clothing; The second is to tell the Ministry of Rites that the treasury has been empty recently, and the funeral of the eldest prince is simple. ”
Tang Siru understood as soon as he thought about it that the queen wanted to detain Fu Yao and let his errand be messed up.
She thought that she was angry with Yurui, and Yurui went to the queen to complain, and Fu Yao, who was involved, felt quite guilty.
Looking at Fu Yao's sad face, Tang Siru thought for a while, and said: "I have a way, but it's just a little down, do you want to listen to it?" ”
Fu Yao raised his eyebrows, quite interested, "Let's hear it?" ”
Tang Siru said: "The queen said that the treasury is empty, which means that there is no money, but I don't think the harem looks like there is no money. She added in a whisper, "Especially Fenglai Palace." ”
Fu Yao smiled slightly: "How are you staying?" ”
Tang Siru said with a smile: "If you look at this harem, it doesn't look like there is no money, life and death are big deals, let alone the eldest prince?" Therefore, the funeral of the eldest prince must be done well, and the royal family must not be embarrassed. However, since the funeral of the eldest prince is short of money, in order to prevent the funeral of the eldest prince from losing the face of the royal family and the national body, it is better to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall! ”
"How to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall?" Fu Yao asked.
"Naturally, it's to make the harem raise donations! The eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor, who donates more, naturally has face in front of the emperor, you only need to draw up an excerpt, say according to the amount of donations, put the names of the people together, hand them to the emperor, and there will be many people competing to donate. Tang Siru said, "Although it sounds a little shameless, who let the queen say that the treasury has no money?" This is another big event to show his face in front of the emperor, and there will definitely be a lot of people coming! ”
Fu Yao smiled faintly: "Although it has fallen, it is really useful, it is difficult for you to think of such a way." ”
Tang Siru scratched his head, "It's urgent, when will we start?" ”
Fu Yao made a final decision, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just in the afternoon." ”
So Tang Siru took on the task of painting posters and billboards, and recruited the masters of various palaces to raise donations.
However, the name of this matter is good, and it is called the gathering of fireflies.
Tang Siru also wrote a huge banner of "A spark can start a prairie fire", publicizing that everyone should donate a little money, unite as one, and gather sand into a tower.
She gave a tearful science to the little palace maids in the palaces: "You don't know, the treasury is in trouble now, and it is difficult to hold a decent funeral for the eldest prince." Tang Siru faked a handful of tears: "The eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor, and the emperor is seriously ill now, if he sees his eldest son sacrifice for the country, and the funeral is not very decent, how sad it should be!" ”
She saw the two little palace maids holding their chests, obviously she was a little moved by what she said, and immediately added a fire, "Wouldn't it be better if all of our palaces donated some money to let the eldest prince go more beautifully." ”
Tang Siru whispered in the ears of the two palace maids: "I heard that Master Fu will write the name in order to show the emperor according to the amount of donations from each palace and hall, this is a face-showing matter, you can do it yourself!" ”
As soon as these words fell, the thoughts of all palaces and courtyards turned away, you must know that not everyone is deeply favored, and how many concubines have not even seen the emperor's face until now. There is such an opportunity to let the emperor know his name, why not do it?
And you have to donate appropriately, donating too much makes people suspect that they want to compete for favor, and donating less is not in line with their own identity, which makes people laugh.
So the little palace maids hurriedly went back to tell their mothers, and the mothers of the palace were ruthless and bloodied, and took the silver to this set of fireflies.
The queen naturally heard about it, and when she heard it at first glance, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Everyone else has donated, and she, the queen, naturally has to donate, and she must donate more, otherwise if the mother of a country lets others suppress it, what will it look like.
So Empress Fan sent someone to inquire how much the person who donated the most had donated.
"Back to the queen mother, I heard that the one who donated the most was Concubine De, and her father was from the household department, and he donated the most, a full eight thousand taels!" The maidservants of Fenglai Palace reported.
"What! Eight thousand taels! "Empress Fan almost fainted when she heard this number. She has no filial piety now, and she has to supplement her younger brother and the prince, so naturally she doesn't have much money, and she also sells a lot of utensils and jewelry that she used to love.
Hearing this number, Queen Fan said painfully: "Go, take 10,000 taels, and send it to that Jiyinghui." ”
She never expected that this time she would lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot, you must know that 10,000 taels is not a small amount, and half of her remaining private money has been pasted in.
However, this gathering was very successful, Fu Yao not only collected the money for the funeral, but also filled the treasury.
He didn't break his promise, and immediately drew up an excerpt.
When she saw the amount of money donated by Queen Fan, she couldn't help laughing, this Tang Siru was really eccentric.
The excerpt was prepared, and Fu Yao sent it to Emperor Nanming early in the morning.
Emperor Nanming is recuperating in Qinghe Palace, after these days of recuperation, and found out the source of poisoning, his face has improved a lot, and his spirit is much stronger than usual at the moment.
Seeing Fu Yao, Emperor Nanming's face couldn't help but bring a smile, "Ah Yao, why is it so early today." ”
Fu Yao told him the cause and effect, which made Emperor Nanming laugh, "What a ghost, I am really curious about this Second Miss Tang, I must meet him if I have the opportunity." ”
Fu Yao smiled bitterly, "I'm just afraid of offending you." ”
Emperor Nanming waved his hand, "What do you say to offend or not, the queen's move is really disappointing me." ”
Speaking of the empress, Emperor Nanming's face couldn't help but show some coldness.
He said angrily to the little eunuch on duty: "Come on, go to Fenglai Palace and call the queen for me!" ”
"Minion Command!" The little eunuch trembled, and hurriedly went to Fenglai Palace to pass the decree.
"Your Majesty is angry. The body is important, but you still have to take care of your body. Fu Yao persuaded, and at the same time, he added an accent to the last few words, which also implied that Emperor Nanming continued to maintain the previous state of poisoning and did not show clues.
