Hear this.

Tang Lin was shocked, and looked at Li Anmin with a surprised expression.

And the ministers in the field also set their eyes on Li Anmin at this moment.

"How?"

"Am I to blame you?"

Li Anmin's expression was gloomy: "Lord Tang has never drunk a bottle of wine for two hundred taels of silver?" ”

Tang Lin's lips trembled, and he didn't dare to speak.

Obviously, Li Anmin is not wrong.

Seeing this scene, Li Anmin sneered in his heart.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have made frugality a national policy."

"But I have never restricted how the officials can spend."

"After all, the money is your own, and you can spend it however you want."

Li Anmin straightened up, walked to the hall, and looked around at the crowd: "But I also hope that everyone will not forget their identity." ”

"You are all the officials of the imperial court, the parents of the people, and the lives of the people are closely related to you."

Speaking of which.

Li Anmin set his eyes on Tang Lin again.

"The people of Shannan Province are living in dire straits."

"Lord Tang would rather spend two hundred taels of silver a day to buy wine to satisfy his appetite."

"I don't want to give a tael of silver to buy some food for the people and save the people from fire and water."

"Lord Tang, you are really a good official of my great cadres, and having an official like you sit firmly in the court is really a blessing for my great cadres and people......"

When Li Anmin said this, his tone was extremely soft.

It's not like blaming someone at all, it's more like complimenting.

But no one is a fool.

How can you not see the anger behind these words?

Tang Lin lowered his head, and his eyes were filled with fear: "Your Majesty, your ......"

"That's it."

"It's too late to say something now."

Li Anmin turned to look at the crowd and asked with a smile on his face: "The big guy himself said, is it meaningful for this kind of official who does not want to serve the country and the people, to stay in the court?" ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Everyone in the audience cast a compassionate look at Tang Lin.

The big guys can also see that Tang Lin's career has come to an end.

And speaking of which, this guy deserves it.

When others saw Li Anmin's attitude, they immediately reacted, what should they do.

But this person is good, but he is working against Li Anmin.

Isn't this looking for your own death?

"Since everyone doesn't speak, then I will take it as everyone's acquiescence."

Li Anmin raised his head and called: "Spread my will, deprive Tang Lin of all rewards and children's shadows." ”

"Tang Lin himself was demoted to Bai Ding, and the secretary of the ministry was re-elected at a later date."

Li Anmin's words were loud and clear.

Every word struck Tang Lin's heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Tang Lin knelt on the ground and pleaded in a trembling voice: "The minister is just confused for a while, you will spare the minister this time, the minister is willing to use all his wealth to help Shannan Dao and share his worries for Your Majesty!" ”

Li Anmin's expression was still indifferent.

"I just said that."

"Some things are too late to say now."

Li Anmin looked around at the people present: "I want everyone to contribute, not just for money, but mainly to see everyone's attitude, an attitude for the country and the people." ”

"And today, everyone's attitude, I have seen it."

"Everyone, cherish each other......"

After Li Anmin said this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Retreat!" ”

"The ministers retired ......"

The ministers bowed one after another.

After Li Anmin left, they withdrew from the main hall.

When passing by Tang Lin's side, no one dared to stop.

They were also afraid that they would be implicated by Tang Lin.

Tang Lin's eyes were stunned, and it wasn't until Fang Muduan walked up to him that he woke up like a dream.

"Lord Fang."

"Lord Fang, save me."

Tang Lin pulled Fang Muduan's trouser leg and said, "You can help me and Your Majesty plead......

"Your Majesty is angry, and no one can save you."

Fang Muduan glanced at Tang Lin, shook his head helplessly, and said, "And you can't blame others for this, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being stupid." ”

"After being a courtier for so long, I can't even see His Majesty's thoughts."

"But, that's not what you said."

"Take advantage of today's opportunity to let Your Majesty disarm and reduce the financial burden."

Tang Lin said weakly: "The subordinates also act according to your orders......

"I mean, take advantage of today's opportunity to disarm Your Majesty."

"But I didn't say it, let you be stupid to go against Your Majesty."

Fang Muduan also didn't want to say much to him.

Shake off Tang Lin's hand and walk out of the hall quickly.

He really couldn't understand, how did such a wise person become a secretary in the first place?

Did you go through Shangguan Yuanji's back door?

Looking at Fang Muduan's back, Tang Lin's eyes were full of despair, and his heart was full of regret.

……

The other side.

Return to the Temple of Manna.

Li Anmin's expression changed, from gloomy to pleasant.

"Old Zhou."

"How did I behave just now?"

Li Anmin looked at Zhou Qidao: "Did it scare you?" ”

"Yes, of course."

Zhou Qi hurriedly said: "The old slaves are going to be scared to death by Your Majesty." ”

These words are not to praise Li Anmin.

His eyes were cold enough to freeze an elephant to death when he was in the court.

Even if he knew that Li Anmin was acting, he was scared.

"Hahaha."

Li Anmin laughed out loud on his back, and then said: "You go and collect the money, according to the share they said, one or two pieces of silver cannot be missing." ”

"No!"

Zhou Qi should be immediately.

Then he turned and walked out of the Manna Temple.

And when he came to the outside of the hall, Zhou Qi suddenly shivered.

It was only today that he understood why Li Anmin wanted to get this sky-high price of wine back.

It doesn't matter if you make money, it's good to have a good relationship with Wu Huanian and talk to him.

I'm afraid none of this is Li Anmin's real purpose.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, he planned to use this sky-high price of wine to test the ministers of the court.

If that's the case.

That can only say that the emperor's scheming is really terrible.

Zhou Qi turned his head to look at the Ganlu Palace, and said secretly in his heart: "In the future, our family will have to be careful when we take in our godson......

……

With Tang Lin's experience.

It is also much easier for Zhou Qi to do things in the future.

Without his nonsense, those courtiers would take the initiative to send him silver taels.

What's more, there are some people who give away far more money than they promised in the temple at the beginning.

As for why this is so, of course, it is also because of Tang Lin's experience.

Although Li Anmin did not say it explicitly.

But he said with practical actions that in this matter, if you don't pay for it, you have to throw everything away.

And collecting money is also a relatively easy and time-consuming job.

When Zhou Qi finished collecting the money, it was already that night.

Zhou Qi placed a thick stack of silver tickets on Li Anmin's table.

"Your Majesty, the silver taels from the courtiers have been collected in full according to the accounts."

"Among them, there are many ministers who have made additional contributions."

"In the end, a total of 145,000 taels of silver."

Zhou Qi handed the account book to Li Anmin with both hands and said, "The specific accounts are all here." ”

"Hmm."

Li Anmin nodded, and then handed the silver ticket to Zhou Qidao: "Lian Zhen took the 100,000 taels in the morning to Wu Huanian." ”

"Tell him to do a good job of disaster relief, and if things are done well, I will be rewarded......"
