It's only been a long time, and it's snowing heavily.

The people suffered, but the court also suffered, and there was not much silver left in the treasury.

And one after another natural disasters, there were rumors in Kyoto that Emperor Muwu was immoral, so the two sons rebelled and usurped the throne one after another, and died unexpectedly.

The minister heard the rumors, but no one dared to mention it in front of Emperor Mu Wu, so Cao Ge's old face was gloomy, and he asked directly: "Your Majesty, in the past two years, natural disasters have continued, and the people are scolding you for being mediocre and immoral, so why don't you write an edict to stabilize the people's hearts?" Let God extinguish the fire? ”

"Hey, either I invite myself to ......" But Emperor Muwu looked at Ye Siheng and stopped talking, "I will write it immediately, and I will ask the monks to recite the scriptures, and ask the heavens not to snow again." ”

The ninth brother now has a higher goal, he must hold on, and he can't throw the mess to the ninth brother.

Cao Ge nodded with satisfaction, "That's without further ado, the emperor should write it quickly." ”

Ye Siheng raised his eyebrows, and said: "Brother Huang is not unscrupulous, and over the years, he has never increased taxes, most of the people of Mu have land to cultivate, and there is food to eat, why do you want to write an edict against yourself?" Heaven wants people to die, so disasters come down, can this be blamed on one person? ”

Cao Ge Lao argued with him: "But now it is snowing non-stop, and the people are ignorant, and they will only say that those in power have no way!" Nine princes, we naturally know the emperor's wisdom, but now we must stabilize the hearts of the people, lest the people be instigated to rebel by those who have intentions! ”

Emperor Mu Wu nodded, "What Elder Cao Ge said is that my reputation is not important, the important thing is to stabilize the situation, so as not to see blood again when the time comes." ”

He turned his head and persuaded Ye Siheng, "Ninth brother, now that the imperial treasury is empty, and there is wind and snow blocking the way, it is not good to provide disaster relief, so it can only be so." ”

After that, he sighed again and again, his face was depressed, and as before, as if his life was approaching.

Elder Cao Ge stroked his beard and looked at Chu Hanlin intentionally or unintentionally, "It would be nice if there were big merchants who contributed money and efforts to help with disaster relief, and the emperor would not be so embarrassed." ”

"Not really." Emperor Mu Wu shook his head lightly, "But I can't force merchants to pay, otherwise what's the difference between me and robbers." ”

Ye Siheng glanced at the two of them.

No wonder Cao Ge was so aggressive, it turned out that he was singing a double reed.

Although Chu Hanlin is a military general, it doesn't mean that he has no brains.

Emperor Mu Wu and Cao Ge Lao were just trying to donate money to his son.

This little rabbit cub obviously makes him low-key on weekdays, not too conspicuous.

Look, now that the court is short of silver, it thinks of him and the Qian family.

It's okay once or twice, but his son's money is not blowing in the wind, and he can't take it when he starts.

Besides, he didn't know what his son thought, so he didn't want to make decisions for his son, so now Chu Hanlin was standing with his head held high, just thinking that he was stupid and couldn't understand the voices of Emperor Mu Wu and Cao Ge Lao.

Seeing that Chu Hanlin was so stable, Cao Ge was a little anxious, so he simply spoke directly: "An Guogong, your second son's business is not small, and his biological mother is still the Qian family, now the emperor is distressed, and the court is in trouble, he should come forward." ”

Chu Hanlin rolled his eyes in his heart.

This Cao Ge is always for the country and the people, but he was born in a poor family, his style is poor, and sometimes he grits his teeth at the gate valve family.

As everyone knows, the wealth of the gate valve family has also been accumulated through the hard work and accumulation of many generations.

Civil officials are hard readers.

But the generals are going to fight on the battlefield and exchange their lives for honor!

But Cao Ge Lao opened his mouth now, and in front of the emperor, he couldn't refuse.

Just as he was about to speak, Ye Siheng had already said: "The second brother and Mrs. Ming had already paid for winter clothes and distributed them to the people, which had already cost a lot of money. The second brother's business is big, but his money is not endless. ”

Cao Ge snorted: "How can the second son have no money, his marriage is going to be big, I heard that this marriage will cost more than 100,000 taels, if this money is used for disaster relief, not only to solve the imperial court is an urgent need, but also to let the second son accumulate merit, why not!" ”

Prime Minister Lu wanted to shrink aside, but Elder Cao Ge then glared at him: "Prime Minister Lu, the second son is your future son-in-law, as long as you say a word, the two of you will have immeasurable merit!" ”

Prime Minister Lu Cheng was also angry, he used to avoid suspicion, which caused him to drink poisonous tea, and now he accepted the kindness of his future son-in-law, and talked with him a few times, only to know that he had spent 100,000 taels of silver on making winter clothes before.

Not to mention the torrential rain last year, Chu Shuo and the Qian family also contributed money to rebuild their homes for the people.

The future son-in-law has a lot of money, and now he wants a more luxurious wedding, how can this not be?!

Prime Minister Lu snorted louder, and rolled his eyes directly, "The emperor promised to let my future son-in-law hold a more luxurious wedding, but now you want him not to hold a wedding, do you still have the emperor in your eyes?" Where will the face of my two families go! ”

Cao Ge frowned and retorted: "It's not that you don't do it, it's that you can do it ordinarily." ”

"Ordinary? My son won't marry again, I'm just such a daughter, but you let her marry shabbyly? Prime Minister Lu Cheng said, "Elder Cao Ge, is it true that we sometimes have different political views, and you deliberately make these rotten moves difficult for me?" ”

Cao Ge was angry: "We have known each other for many years, and you still don't know who I am?" I'm going to embarrass you, and you'll be above board! Now there is no silver in the imperial court, so I asked your future son-in-law to help call for some silver. ”

The two looked at each other angrily, and almost in front of everyone's faces.

However, Ye Siheng knocked on the table suddenly, and said coldly: "This time the snow disaster has swept the country, how much can the businessmen donate?" This king will take the lead first, and take out a hundred thousand taels with Ah Li, and the hundred officials will also have the money to contribute, so let's make a strong contribution. ”

Cao Ge didn't expect Ye Siheng to be so refreshing, with the Nine Princes taking the lead, the hundred officials would definitely not donate less.

He immediately said: "The prince is noble! Xia Guan also donated 1,500 taels! ”

This is all he has.

As for white rice, grain, old clothes, etc., he would also ask his wife to prepare them.

Ye Siheng glanced at him: "Cao Ge Lao cares about the people, and this king is pleased. But you have to do good deeds according to your ability, so you should go back and discuss with your wife and decide how much money you will take. ”

Elder Cao Ge disagreed, "Xia Guan is the head of the family, so he can naturally call the shots, so why discuss it with his wife." ”

Ye Siheng hated him for being stubborn, and he didn't respect his wife at home.

He said, "You are a good official and a good teacher, but you are not a good husband or father. This king knows that you are for the people, the country and the community, but you are also the pillar of the family, you can't just think about others, sometimes you have to think about your own family. ”

The cabinet ministers are all here.

Cao Ge Lao's face was a little unbearable, and he flicked his sleeves angrily: "If everyone is like the prince to protect his shortcomings, there will be no laws to follow in this court, and the lower officials have a clear conscience!" ”
