Chapter 202
This satisfied the emperor.

The emperor thought that he had reduced the expenses and set an example, and these people should spit out more things even if they didn't want to save their own face.

But when the emperor saw the donation booklet presented by the household department the next day, his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"My dear friends, you really have a breeze in your sleeves!"

The emperor threw the booklet recording the amount of donations on the Golden Luan Hall, and was furious, "I see that you spend a lot of money when you go to the opera house and tavern on weekdays. Now it's the country's turn to be in trouble, and you need to donate a little money. You are all Some penniless paupers?!"

The officials were trained to have nothing to say, and Wei Nuo Nuo dared not say a word.

Who dares to hand over a large amount of gold and silver?

How much is the imperial salary?In addition to the expenses of a large family, inside and out are asking for money.

At this moment, even if you are trying to gain face in front of the emperor, how do you answer when the emperor comes to his senses afterwards and asks you where you got so much money?
corruption?bribery?Or is it violating the law and using officials to seek business?
That one is a major event that ranges from demoting officials to being punished and executed!

Who dares to bet!

Only a family like Xu Xiang, which has been in business for a hundred years and has been rewarded by emperors for several dynasties, can really come up with good property.

According to the booklet, Xu Xiang's donation alone is worth the sum of all other donations.

But so what?
As far as what was written in the brochure, it was just leaked through the cracks of other people's fingers.

The ones who really evacuated their homes are probably the two old boys Xu Kaida and Wang Weitao.

They are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes. They really don't have much money, so they are not afraid of the emperor's investigation.

But the rest of the people are different. If they take out too much money and arouse the emperor's suspicion, won't they lose their wife and lose their soldiers in the end?
It's better to donate a little less, pretend to be poor, pretend that you are really poor, and get scolded, it's better than losing your official title and losing your head later.

Besides, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, each donated a little, at least a little, and the amount was still considerable, so it was okay to barely save an emergency.

When they donated money, they all carefully weighed and calculated against Xu Kaida and Wang Weitao, two guys who had spent their money.

In this way, it will neither be so small that the emperor can't accept it, but it will definitely not be so outstanding that it will cause the emperor to "look at it differently".

Regarding the minds of these courtiers, the emperor is naturally clear, so there is nothing he can do about it.

After getting angry, I had no choice but to give up in the end.

This money is definitely not enough to support the front line.

The wear and tear on the road alone is a huge expense, and it is not known how much money will be left when it really reaches the front line.

This can only mean that it will be used as a pension in the future to compensate the family members of Marquis Dingyuan of Daliang.

As for the frontline...

Judging from the battle report, Yan Qing didn't ask him for food and salary, so he probably had his own way.

After all, after so many years of fighting, the rich and the rich fight, the poor and the poor fight.

She didn't open her mouth to ask for it, which meant that the frontline rations were not so tight that they needed to be dispatched urgently.

The emperor knew these things, and the ministers under him also knew them well.

So they didn't panic at all.

Anyway, the emperor just wanted to find an excuse to get some money from them, to make up for the deficit of the national treasury.

They give a little appropriately, which is about the same, so as not to make everyone look bad.

The attitude of the ministers who are dead pigs not afraid of boiling water annoyed the emperor, but made the emperor helpless.

After getting angry, the emperor still had no choice but to give up, and signaled An Ning in a worried mood, telling these misers to go away if they had nothing to do, and don't dangle in front of his eyes.

An Ning received the impatient gaze of the emperor, and immediately shouted at the top of her voice: "There is something to play, and there is nothing to retreat to the court!"

"Chen, there is a book to play."

As soon as An Ning finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded again, and once again fixed a group of courtiers who were about to go to court in place.

All the ministers looked at Xiao Lu who had come forward with resentment, and the murmurs in their hearts turned upside down.

Day by day, there are so many things to do with this thing!

The emperor glanced impatiently at the blank Xiao Lu: "What else do you want to say?"

"The humble minister is bold enough to advise the sage, not to ignore Yan Qing's mistakes just because of his great achievements."

Xiao Lu brought up the old story again.

The emperor and all the officials frowned.

Why doesn't this unlucky thing have a long memory?
Staring at a little girl every day, is she really jealous?

Not only did the key person have nothing against him, but he also saved the lives of his relatives. What is he trying to do?
The emperor didn't bother to talk to Xiao Lu, he just waved his hands and planned to let people go down, but he didn't think that Xiao Lu came prepared this time.

"Holy!"

Xiao Lu knelt down and shouted, "Since ancient times, the merits have not been worth it. This Yan Qing is indeed courageous, courageous and resourceful, but it is a fact that he violated the law and order of the army, and the influence of privately dispatching troops is extremely bad. If you don’t punish them for your achievements, you may be imitated and cause even greater disasters!”

The emperor frowned, and asked, "What greater disaster?"

"As a woman, Yan Qing can't get things done even if she has ambitions. But not all people with heavy arms are like Yan Qing, who can't get things done."

Xiao Lu's words made the emperor's face even more gloomy.

He was telling himself that if he didn't deal with Yan Qing, Guo Youning would feel that he was a soft persimmon, and he would dare to send troops to various borders without permission in the future.

The emperor looked at Xiao Lu who was prostrate on the ground, and suddenly remembered that this Xiao Lu was recommended by Guo Youning's father to the late emperor.

Therefore, Guo Youning is dissatisfied with the division of troops in Jingmobei to Yan Qing, and wants to give himself a prestige, let him personally dispose of Yan Qing, and even cancel Yan Qing's power to command the soldiers in Jingmobei?
snort!
What a grand gesture!
The emperor was angry, but Xiao Lu's words really made him fearful.

Now Yan Qing is in the Qiang Kingdom, Meng Shulan is seriously injured, Bai Shu leads the troops from the west to confront Gesangoro, the troops in the west are empty, and some people from the east are transferred to support the south, and the north is now considered to be the dominant one.

At this time, if you annoy Guo Youning and let him become the second Li Dingshan, relying on the current strength of Kangdu, it will not be an easy task to win favor with Guo Youning!

But if he were to deal with Yan Qing himself, it would not only make him slap himself in the face, but also cause a rift between the monarch and his ministers.

I sent Yan Qing to northern Xinjiang to check and balance Guo Youning, not to add a strong general to him!

The emperor drooped his eyelashes and thought for a moment, and finally his eyes fell on Xu Xiangfeng, who was drowsy with his head down, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Prime Minister thinks, how should Yan Qing be dealt with?"

The emperor calmly threw the question to Xu Xiangfeng.

Xu Xiangfeng was suddenly named, and he took a look at Xiao Lu, only to find that the old god saluted the emperor on the ground and said...
