Chapter 20: The Beginning

"Iniquity!"

Chu Mo didn't care about money, but since then, his original plans have all been disrupted.

A penny can stump a hero, not to mention, what Chu Mo needs now is a large amount of money.

Just these two hundred and fifty taels, a trip to the Heavenly Pavilion is not enough!

How to strengthen the Golden Jade Hall? How to sort out the prince's guard rate?

"Gonggong Li, can you go to your father and mother now, and borrow some silver taels from them first to stabilize the situation?"

There was really no way, so I could only fight the idea of the Emperor and the Empress of Chu.

However, Li Jin's expression was bitter, but he shook his head slightly: "Your Highness, now that the treasury is tight, and there is a drought in Qingzhou and Lingzhou, I am afraid that Your Majesty has no spare money." Even if the queen feels sorry for Her Royal Highness, it is just a drop in the bucket, and it is not a long-term plan after all!"

Chu Mo was speechless in his heart, and he wanted to scold.

How can Lao Tzu still have any long-term plans now?

Let's go and ask for silver taels first, and then solve the urgent need.

But after thinking about it, what Li Jin said was not reasonable.

As the saying goes, if you want to completely solve the problem of money, you can only go to the Emperor and Empress Chu to complain about the misery, after all, it is not the time to draw salary.

Only when he finds a way to get the silver tael himself, can he truly solve the current trouble.

It's just that, today, what can we do to be like a spring of water, gushing out of silver?

Chu Mo thought for a while, and then, his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Yes, I can do business!"

Although in the previous life, Chu Mo had never started his own business, but he had never eaten pork, and he had never seen a pig run?

What college student, when he was in college, didn't drink the chicken soup of those successful people?

"I don't believe it, with so many outstanding entrepreneurs in the 21st century, they can't let Lao Tzu dominate one side in this land!"

Chu Mo snorted secretly in his heart.

That's the best thing to do right now.

What's more, he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who dares not to give him face? When the time comes, won't the wealth be rolling in?

What a genius I'm a genius!

Thinking of this, Chu Mo was so proud in his heart that he almost didn't laugh out loud!

And just when he was full of ambition and ready to do a big job.

Several eunuchs suddenly walked in, and with the voice of a male duck that made Chu Mo have goosebumps, they announced loudly: "Your Majesty's dictation, please kneel down and accept the decree from His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Chu Mo was stunned, and his brows furrowed.

At this time, His Majesty suddenly came to deliver the decree, what does this mean?

"Your Majesty's dictation, Your Highness still doesn't kneel down to receive the order?"

The eunuch shouted, and when he saw that Chu Mo was still sitting, he was helpless, so he had to remind in a whisper: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has an edict, please kneel down and listen to the decree!"

"If your father has any words, you can just pronounce them. Chu Mo came back to his senses and waved his hand softly, without the intention of kneeling at all.

At this time, the eunuch was a little embarrassed, and said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, this Your Majesty's dictation is like Your Majesty coming in person, Your Highness does not kneel to listen to the order, this is not in accordance with the rules!"

"Rules?Over the years, have you done less unruly things?" Chu Mo looked at him, a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth.

He woke up at that time, and he didn't kneel when he saw Emperor Chu for the first time, let alone just a eunuch who passed the decree?

No way, he doesn't have the habit of kneeling yet......

Seeing that he refused to kneel, the eunuch looked bitter and didn't know what to do.

I had to turn my head to look at Xue Xue and Li Jin next to me, hoping that they could persuade His Royal Highness the Prince.

Li Jin glanced at Chu Mo before he said to him, "Since His Highness has ordered it, you just do it." If Your Majesty is held accountable for this, His Royal Highness will bear it, and you don't need to worry about being a slave. ”

"With Gonggong Li's words, the little one is relieved. ”

After all, Li Jin is an old man in the palace, and he has passed through two emperors of Chu State before and after, even if he has left the palace now and is specially guarding by the side of this stupid prince who is not in tune, but in front of these palace people, Li Jin's prestige still exists.

Li Jin spoke, and the eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty has issued an edict that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will enter the palace immediately to discuss state affairs with the ministers, and there must be no delay." ”

"Discuss state affairs, what state affairs are you discussing?" Chu Mo frowned, and subconsciously asked.

At this question, the eunuch who sent the decree suddenly showed a wry smile and replied: "Your Highness, the servant is just a eunuch who transmits the decree, how can I know His Majesty's holy will? If Your Highness wants to know, you will naturally know when you enter the palace." Your Majesty is in a hurry, and please don't embarrass the minions, and immediately follow the minions into the palace to face the saint!"

Seeing that he was so anxious, Chu Mo was even more surprised in his heart.

This Chu State, there shouldn't be any major matters to discuss, right?

What's more, even if there is a big event, what is the use of looking for yourself?

Chu Mo was shocked in his heart and glanced at Li Jin.

Li Jin just looked at him and nodded at him slightly.

"Well, go and wait outside the door, and Lone will come at once. Gonggong Li, you also go with Gu. ”

Chu Mo knew that he couldn't hide, so he agreed to come down, and took Li Jin with him.

In this way, it is also a little more reassuring.

As for the snowfall, if you're addicted to cooking at the moment, stay at home.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Jin agreed, took a few eunuchs, prepared the carriage, and waited outside the door.

Chu Mo tidied up his clothes, and then followed.

The carriage and horses swayed, and after a while, they came to the outside of the palace.

Several eunuchs helped Chu Mo get out of the car, but led him all the way to the direction of the main hall.

Li Jin looked at the road ahead, did not wrinkle, and asked in a low voice: "This father-in-law, what's the matter?

It's noon at the moment, and if there is nothing particularly important, the early dynasty should have dispersed a long time ago.

But the eunuch took them to the palace hall, which clearly showed that the early dynasty had not yet dispersed, and the Chu emperor and the civil and military officials of the Chu State were still waiting for Chu Mo in the main hall.

This is usual, but it is not common.

The eunuch nodded, and replied in a low voice: "Back to Gonggong Li's words, Your Majesty and the ministers have been arguing since the morning. He also said that if he couldn't get a result today, no one would go home. ”

Li Jin was startled and didn't speak again, but secretly cast a look at Chu Mo.

implied that the situation in the palace hall was definitely not simple, and he had to think of a countermeasure in advance.

Chu Mo kept his head down, unable to see his joy or anger.

It's just that in my heart, I have long had a guess.

What is controversial in the court today is nothing more than two things.

It is none other than the disaster relief matters in Qingzhou and Lingzhou, and whether to send troops to assist Zhao to quell the civil strife.

This disaster relief matter is generally controversial because the treasury has no money, and this kind of thing will basically not form a big controversy in the court, let alone cause controversy among hundreds of officials.

Therefore, the only possibility is the civil unrest in Zhao.

Coupled with the exam questions from the proofreading two days ago, Chu Mo wrote down some of his opinions on the answer sheet.

Now it seems that Emperor Chu should have read his answer sheet, so he specially ordered someone to summon him to the palace.
