Chapter 212: Confrontation between the monarch and the minister
When Hubu Shangshu heard this, his face couldn't help but change, this feeling was as uncomfortable as eating a mouse feces, His Majesty made it clear that he was digging a pit and waiting for him to jump.
If he still insists on letting the disaster relief funds allocated by the internal secretary be distributed through the household department, then if this matter goes wrong, the household department will have the primary responsibility.
In other words, that is, he, the head of the household, has to bear those bad consequences.
As soon as he thought of this, Hubu Shangshu still dispelled his thoughts, His Majesty made it clear that he didn't want them to get involved, if he insisted on it any longer, then the next situation would be unfavorable to him.
Glancing at the Hubu Shangshu who was no longer silent, Lin Ying withdrew his gaze from the other party's body, and then glanced at the lifeless court, he knew that these people in the hall would only take care of their own interests, and the life and death of the people in the world had nothing to do with them.
But now is the time when the country is in crisis, it may not have much impact on these people, but when the wild goose falls, they will be like the grass on the wall, and then fall to another emerging force, no matter how bad it is, they can also rely on the family they belong to to continue to be powerful.
But he couldn't watch Yanbei fall into the abyss, not only for the sake of the people of Limin, but also for himself, and whether he wanted it or not, he had to bear it, and the sky in Yanbei could not collapse.
Lin Ying thought for a while, and said with a heavy face: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, whenever a disaster comes, you are in a high position, and you should play an exemplary role for the people. ”
The ministers present couldn't help but breathe hard when they heard this, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts.
"At the time of the natural disaster in Weinan, the imperial court has allocated a lot of disaster relief funds, and now the treasury is empty, everyone here can see it, and now it is almost the end of the year, and it was the time to distribute the money to you, just ......" Lin Ying said with a somewhat gloomy expression: " The natural disaster came too suddenly, if the payment of the Yulu as scheduled, it will inevitably make the situation worse for the household, there are already countless people displaced, starvation everywhere, therefore, I want to discuss with you, this year's Yulu, temporarily postponed, and when this natural disaster passes, after the imperial court is relieved, it is bound to reissue this Yulu, and I hope you understand one or two. ”
Lin Ying's words, although they sounded like they were discussing, were actually a tone that could not be refused, and everyone present naturally would not fail to hear it, in fact, for them, the little money every year was dispensable for them, and they never expected that meager money to live.
Moreover, no one knows better than them what the state of the treasury is, and every time the money that comes out of the treasury is exploited at various levels, there is very little left.
Besides, among all of you here, which one is not a family wealth?
Not to mention that it is just in arrears, even if it is not given, it will not affect them in the slightest.
They racked their brains and kept climbing up, but not for that little bit of money, only the official position was the most valuable.
Soon, a representative of the civil and military officials stepped forward and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "Your Majesty Shengming, just like Your Majesty said just now, now is the time when the country is in danger, and we should tide over the difficulties together.
As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately echoed by countless people.
All kinds of words such as being dedicated to the people, worrying about the country and the people are endless.
Now is a great opportunity to show themselves, and it is also an opportunity to be responsible, so why are they willing to miss it?
"I know your feelings of worrying about the country and the people, and I am very happy in my heart, in order to live up to your worries about the country and the people, I have a good idea here, that is, to carry out a fundraiser, everything you do to the people, I will see it in my eyes, I don't know what you think?" Lin Ying's eyes were deep with a touch of cunning.
Originally, he was just thinking about owing the civil and military officials a lot of money, but he just saw the passionate civil and military officials, if he didn't carry out a fundraiser, wouldn't it be too sorry for their "worry about the country and the people"?
As soon as Lin Ying's words fell, countless officials were dumbfounded.
Your Majesty has said it to this point, is there any room for them to refuse?
Besides, they have just said it, if they don't donate now, wouldn't it confirm that what they just said is empty words?
However, it should be okay for them to donate less, right?
As the saying goes, the heart is the most important thing, and as for the amount of donation, it is all secondary.
"The following fundraising is the best confirmation of what you have just said, I hate those hypocritical and cunning people the most in my life, but I still believe in you, and my courtiers should not have such hypocrisy. Lin Ying said implicitly.
There were no stupid people in the audience, and Lin Ying believed that they would all be able to understand.
For these people to have a few catties and taels, Lin Ying's heart is like a mirror.
If these people know each other, they will naturally make the right choice.
Although the Yanbei Dynasty is weak, the courtiers are only courtiers after all, and if the emperor is angered, it will definitely be the courtiers who will suffer.
Those families are not going to make enemies with the emperor for the sake of one person.
Hu Deyong hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, it is the duty of civil and military officials to help the victims, and the old minister is willing to donate a year's salary, and another 5,000 stone of grain, a little bit of effort." ”
"Very good, Aiqing deserves to be an example of the dynasty, and I thank Aiqing for her generosity on behalf of the people. ”
After saying this, Lin Yingcai looked at the other people above the court again, although he also knew that it was unlikely to make these people bleed heavily, but taking out these would always make them feel pain for a while.
"The old minister is also willing to donate Yulu and five thousand taels of silver to contribute his own strength. When Tobe Shangshu said this, he obviously felt a pain in his body.
Five thousand taels of silver is also a lot of money for him, and he still sends it out directly.
Soon, some officials began to donate, but without exception, all of them unanimously donated the year's money that had not yet arrived.
