Chapter 380: Donating Money
He snorted coldly, looked at the Nine Emperor Princes with a provocative expression and said.
"Brother, you don't want to throw out one problem at a time, since you proposed this grain and grass problem, then you naturally have to think of a solution, our Great Xia treasury is empty, this is something that everyone knows."
"You only ask questions, but you don't want to solve them, isn't this a problem for our father? You are so good at solving problems for your father, and recommend Yue Lingjun to be the general of the enemy, then I think that you should have a way to solve the problem of grain and grass, right? Why don't you tell me what you think? ”
Although the prince's words were not listened to, he did speak of the voice of the Great Xia Emperor, yes, since this problem was raised by the Nine Emperor Princes, let the Nine Emperor Princes solve it by themselves.
Anyway, the treasury is empty, and it is impossible for him to produce the silver, and he cannot afford to produce the silver.
Besides, Yue Lingjun didn't even open his mouth, why did the Nine Emperor Princes preemptively be this good person?
Turning his elbow outward, for Yue Lingjun to embarrass his old father, it is indeed time for the Nine Emperor Princes to have a long memory!
So Emperor Daxia said in a kind manner: "Yes, the Nine Emperor Princes, the treasury is empty, this is a well-known thing, and the grain and grass are not something I am unwilling to come out, but there is really no, since you proposed to let Yue Lingjun go to the frontier, and raised the issue of grain and grass, then I think you are prepared to come today, you can tell me your thoughts." ”
After speaking, Emperor Daxia actually sat back on the dragon chair calmly, staring at the Nine Emperor Princes with burning eyes, just waiting for him to answer.
Of course, it is impossible for the Nine Emperor Princes to admit that they came prepared, isn't that asking for trouble?
So the Nine Emperor Princes thought about it, and then said a rough method, only to see him suddenly stand up and arch his hand.
"Father, the son thinks that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, not to mention the civil and military officials who live deep in the temple, now the treasury is empty, and the border is in turmoil, it is the time when everyone should dedicate their efforts......"
Listening to the eloquent talk of the Nine Emperor Princes, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but get nervous.
How do you hear the meaning of the Nine Emperors' words, that they want to take money out of their money bags? That's not going to happen!
Even if you want them to take the money, there has to be a good reason, right? Besides, not everyone supports the Nine Emperor Princes, even if it is a party of the Nine Emperor Princes, there is no benefit, and they will not love to do such a thing as taking money out.
Therefore, although the words of the Nine Emperor Princes aroused everyone's vigilance, not many people took it to heart, anyway, if the Nine Emperor Princes wanted to take money out of their money bags, they had to take a head first and let the officials of their faction set an example.
Otherwise, don't try to keep them up!
The Nine Emperors finally got to the point.
"Father, what the son means, it's better to let the adults of each family donate money for the war on the frontier, which is more or less the heart, so that it can also reflect the unity of the hundred officials of our dynasty."
The Nine Emperors said hypocritical things that he didn't even believe, and after he finished speaking, he looked around with a look of hope.
It's a pity that no one met his gaze, and they avoided it one by one, even the people on his own side.
Seeing this, the Nine Emperor Princes were a little embarrassed, but they couldn't do it, they were going to take such a move today, and they were all in the plan.
Emperor Daxia was originally a little angry, angry that the Nine Emperors were looking for trouble for themselves, but now that he saw the attitude of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and the anger naturally went towards them, and he couldn't help but stand up and shout.
"What do you mean by one by one? Have I treated you badly? Yulu, good land, big mansion, I haven't treated you badly, right, now the border is in turmoil, you need grain and grass, and the treasury is empty, this is your attitude? ”
"What the Nine Emperor Princes just said is right, it is when you dedicate your efforts, you are really disappointed by me!"
The Nine Emperors lowered their faces, and for a while, all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted forgiveness in unison.
The Nine Emperors breathed a sigh of relief, at least the Father Emperor didn't continue to focus on him alone.
Shangguan Yuanzhi moved out to play a round at this time.
"Emperor Qiqi, my colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty estimated that they didn't expect the Nine Emperors to make such a proposal, but you are not stingy people, and it is a matter of national affairs, food and grass matters, not which one should do, but the minister thinks that he can give everyone a little time."
"The Nine Emperors also said, more or less a mind, each family donates a little, add up to a lot, maybe it can also solve the urgent need, more will give more, less will give less, although Weichen has two sleeves, but he is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver to fill the gap of grain and grass!"
Shangguan Yuanzhi took the lead, and the others were no longer good at ignoring it, but most of the people were unwilling to talk to death in the court, saying too much and suffering losses, and saying too little was afraid that the emperor would not be satisfied.
So they all said that they would go back to take stock of the accounts, see how much savings the family still had, and then report it.
Emperor Daxia is not stupid, he can't see the thoughts of these people, and after estimating the next dynasty, he will privately negotiate a set amount, your family will pay 1,000, then my family will pay 1,000, anyway, they will not suffer.
But if you can get a little, it is also a little, mosquito legs are also meat, Shangguan Yuanzhi and the Nine Emperor Princes both spoke, and the officials of the Nine Emperor Princes' faction looked at each other.
Although today's show has been notified in advance, but now when it comes to donating money, they still have some pain, but they have to donate it.
So they stood up one by one and said that they would do their best to help the Nine Emperor Princes do their best to raise money, but they didn't mention anything about donating money, anyway, if everyone donated, they would definitely not be left behind.
Emperor Great Xia looked at this scene coldly, not knowing what he was thinking, Prime Minister Lu Cheng, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up, with a light smile on his face, and saluted Emperor Great Xia gently.
"Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that this proposal of the Nine Emperors is good, the Nine Emperors really know the general situation and know how to share the worries of the emperor, and the emperor really has a filial son!"
Where did these words put the prince?
The Nine Emperors are a filial child, but what about the crown prince? The prince is not filial?
No one present thought that Lu Xuanqing had said the wrong thing, Lu Xuanqing was the prime minister, the champion, or the emperor pulled it up, can a person like him speak?
If you really say the wrong thing, it's on purpose.
The prince's face turned dark, gritted his teeth and was about to stand up and sing the opposite, anyway, the words that the Nine Emperor Princes had just said had already offended the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and he just took the opportunity to step on two feet, making everyone's perception of the Nine Emperor Princes worse.
What about a good reputation? A good reputation is also for his father to see, but if he offends the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, how can the Nine Emperors continue to compete with him in the future, and how can they stir up the situation?
Even with the support of his father, if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces stumbled him, he would not be able to have a son!
The more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and when he was about to stand up, he was stopped by Chu Liunian Chu Ge Lao behind him.
The prince turned back suspiciously, and saw his grandfather shaking his head at him, and said with his mouth: "Don't be impatient." ”
The prince was a little anxious, but he always listened to his grandfather, and his grandfather generally didn't speak, and when he did, he had to listen.
The crown prince could only shut his mouth indignantly and glared at the Nine Emperors fiercely.
Emperor Daxia sat on a high seat, saw the faces of the people below clearly, and snorted coldly in his heart, a little dissatisfied with his courtiers.
The proposal of the Nine Emperor Princes is indeed a bit reckless, but in recklessness, it is also for the sake of the country, but it is just to let these people appear silver, and they are so dissatisfied one by one.
really responded to that sentence: one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink!
I'm afraid that these people are not afraid of donating silver, but they are afraid that they will not get benefits after donating money, right?
And so many people donate, donating more and donating less is indeed a problem, if it was before, Emperor Daxia may have passed with the mud, after all, he doesn't care much about the affairs of the frontier, as long as he can hold on, then hold on, the matter of grain and grass, let's talk about it.
But now that the frontier is obviously about to be unable to hold on, Yue Lingjun went to support, if there was no food and grass, it would certainly make it difficult for Yue Lingjun to do, but it was he who really suffered the loss.
Great Xia is his country, if he really wants to let those barbarians drive straight in, wouldn't it make others see a joke?
After Emperor Daxia thought clearly about the stakes, he snorted coldly and said: "Okay, since you all have no opinions, then let the Nine Emperor Princes handle this matter, you said it yourself, you will do your best to help the Nine Emperor Princes raise money, I hope you don't let me down!" ”
After speaking, Emperor Daxia looked at the Nine Emperor Princes and said seriously: "Nine Emperor Princes, be sure to come up with a way to raise all the silver for me as soon as possible, and General Yue, when will you leave?" It's better to leave immediately, as for the matter of grain and grass, leave it to the Nine Emperor Prince, and he will send it to you. ”
Yue Lingjun arched his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”
The Nine Emperors also followed and said respectfully: "Sons obey orders!" ”
Coming out of the main hall, Yue Lingjun crossed the threshold and did not communicate with anyone behind him, not even Lu Xuanqing, but left in great strides.
In the eyes of others, they thought that they had guessed correctly, the Nine Emperor Princes really had a hot face and a cold buttocks, and Yue Lingjun was still the same as before, with a stinky temper and no appreciation.
When the Nine Emperors came out like this, why bother?
Many people, especially those from the prince's faction, are watching the jokes of the Nine Emperor Princes.
The Nine Emperor Princes were very calm and calm, surrounded by officials from their own party, Shangguan Yuanzhi and the Nine Emperor Princes stood together, and other officials were clustered.
A small official couldn't help but say, "What is wrong with Yue Lingjun, don't you know that our Highness is helping him?" Look at it, as if His Highness owes him millions of taels of silver. ”
Immediately, there was a follow-up with stinky feet.
"But no, Your Highness, why would you want to help him? Look at him like that, obviously you helped him, he didn't say thank you, and left non-stop as soon as he went away, as if someone was going to chase him, he really treated himself as a dish! ”
Listening to the words of the two, the Nine Emperor Princes waved their hands.
"Okay, what are you doing with all this? Since the general has something, let him go, besides, didn't my father say that he should leave immediately? I can't say, I have to leave tomorrow, I have to prepare today, and there are. ”
"I'm also busy preparing to raise food and grass, and there's no need to greet the general, besides, I'm not doing this for the general, I'm doing this for the great rivers and mountains of our Great Xia, in order to keep the barbarians out, what do you need the general to say?"
What the Nine Emperors said was high-sounding, and the surroundings began to pat him one by one, and the Nine Emperors listened to it comfortably.
The prince walked out, sneered, but didn't say anything, and immediately left with his grandfather, Chu Ge Lao, it seemed that he had something to say.
