Chapter 315
All the officials are full of bitterness, why can't they think about it so much, and insist on proposing to choose a concubine today?
"Your Majesty, I have a poor family, so I can only come up with 5 taels." A well-known upright official at that time, Hubu Shangshu, stood up. He was already graying, but he still maintained a clean heart.

Emperor Yong Le knew that the 5 taels might be the wealth saved by the Minister of the Household Department for many years as an official.

"Shangshu Hubu donated 5 taels. I really won't let you suffer. I will send a jade Ruyi to your home later." Out of respect for the elder's character,
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The old Shangshu was grateful.

All the civil and military officials have their hands scratched. This incident seems to be that they don’t know how to be courtiers. Old Shangshu, an old official, donated all his wealth. If they don’t donate, they will make people gossip. The new emperor had an impression of disloyalty in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate 5 taels."

"My minister donated [-] yuan."

Comparing one by one with the [-] that Emperor Yong Le gave out, in short, except for the Fu family, no one donated more than [-] in silver.

Emperor Yong Le was very dissatisfied with this, the Fu family was the queen's natal family, and they were willing to give so much money; these people have been planning how to let him choose a concubine since he ascended the throne, they only thought of the benefits, and the bleeding was also calculated.

How dare he sleep with such a concubine from her family?

I feel sick when I sleep.

Looking at the queen's natal family, she is striving for strength; she doesn't hold back at all, and knows to share the worries for the king.

"Record it down." No matter how much, Emperor Yong Le asked people to write it down first, and asked them for money afterwards.

After the early dynasty ended, Emperor Yongle was surprised to find that none of the civil and military officials were left; from a few thousand to tens of thousands, they managed to gather millions of silver in total, which shows the wealth of the court officials.

The money was sent to the palace one after another, Emperor Yong Le looked at the mountain of money and smiled rarely.

"Your Majesty, we have money, where can we buy food? We really don't have much food in Li country." The Prime Minister of Chaozhong and Tai Tuo followed him, seeing so much money, they could only worry.

"What are you afraid of?" Emperor Yong Le raised his eyebrows, "It's enough to invite a few grain merchants from other countries to buy grain, and divide the grain into a few merchants; don't let other countries find out, as long as there is enough grain, it can alleviate the disaster of Li country. Let the people feel at ease, and there are many things to do next."

"Yes."

"Leave this matter to the prime minister, and it must be done well; if someone dares to obey the law, he will kill it first and then play it."

The current national situation does not allow others to like whether they are willing or not; they have to do what they have to do. The businessmen who are looking for, the prime minister also let people take care of their families first, old and young, and take care of them. When they see the food, they will not release it until it is received correctly. .

After the matter was done, Emperor Yong Le heaved a sigh of relief when the food was transported back to the capital.

"To distribute food to various counties and counties, send more people, and there must be accompanying imperial envoys; we can no longer allow corrupt officials to withhold food, the country of Li has reached a critical juncture, and if anyone dares to make an idea of ​​food, we should cut it first and act later."

The warrant was issued, and the grain was shipped out of the capital in batches.

The accompanying imperial envoys also followed out of the city, they only thought that Emperor Yongle only sent imperial envoys, but they didn't know that the new emperor, who was psychologically shadowed by the court officials, also sent people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Once they find someone tampering with the food, they will kill them immediately, so as not to let corrupt officials contaminate the food.

Afterwards, Emperor Yong Le imprisoned all the family members of the three princes in the palace, and the two captured princes were imprisoned in the clan mansion; they were housed separately, and after confirming that they were honest, Emperor Yong Le threw them away.

The forces belonging to the three princes in the court were all wiped out; there was not even a single messenger left, and the palace was also bloodbathed. Any spies planted by others were not left behind, and they would rather kill the wrong one than let them go.

This move caused a shock in the court, and the people were panicked.

However, the effect is visible to the naked eye.

No one dares to challenge the new emperor. What the new emperor says is what he says. After seeing the decisiveness of the new emperor, the old officials who survived have their tails tucked in. The newly promoted officials are all new emperors. The people who are here will naturally follow in the footsteps of the new emperor.

After the court was stabilized, the new emperor announced Minghua into the palace one morning.

Civil and military officials looked at each other, not knowing who this Minghua girl was; but someone from the new emperor's surrogate Duke's mansion came out to explain, "This Minghua girl saved your majesty several times when your majesty was the prince; He is His Majesty's savior."

Everyone saw that the new emperor didn't deny it, so they knew it was true; secretly clicked their tongues, how could the new emperor still have a benefactor girl? Could it be that the new emperor didn't choose a concubine because of this woman?
When Minghua entered the main hall, she accepted the scrutiny of the civil and military officials; she looked ahead and walked to the center, and Emperor Yong Le quickly stepped down from the dragon chair, and the civil and military officials were shocked again. chin.

"The benefactor has come. These days, the chaos in the palace failed to summon the benefactor immediately; please forgive me." The new emperor's attitude made all the officials uncertain about his attitude again.

This doesn't look like being a concubine.

Minghua nodded slightly, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, I know that your majesty is a busy person, and it's the same to find me after the court is stable; the two kinds of drawings have already been drawn, and your majesty can ask people to look for them according to the seeds in the album."

He took out a thin booklet from his wide sleeve and handed it to him.

Emperor Yong Le took it with both hands, with a grateful expression on his face, "Thank you benefactor, I will let them draw a copy according to your picture album, and send more people to look for it; I believe it will be as good as one or two. If the common people have food, To be able to eat enough, that benefactor has immeasurable merit."

"Good to say."

"Benefactor." Emperor Yong Le handed the things to Xiao Quanzi, the chief eunuch beside him, and called out with a smile, "Come here! Show the benefactor a seat."

The eunuch took the brochure, and called someone to deliver a seat made of pure gold; it was not a dragon chair, but a peony imperial concubine seat preserved from the previous dynasty. No one has ever used it, and now it is just right for Minghua .

Seeing that Minghua was seated, Emperor Yong Le quickly returned to the dragon chair and seated himself, and said loudly: "This is my benefactor, who has repeatedly saved me from danger; moreover, many benefactors have good strategies for governing the country, and now I enshrine my benefactor as the country Master, you can freely enter and leave the palace."

"."

what?
Not only were the officials shocked, but even Minghua was caught off guard.

"Your Majesty, no! The national teacher cannot be canonized casually."

"Think twice, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please take it back."

In terms of state affairs, they dare not question the emperor, and Emperor Yongle must not be canonized in such matters; the position of the national teacher is second only to the emperor, and even the empress has to give three faces when she sees someone, among the officials That is the top existence.

Emperor Yong Le hurriedly looked at Ming Hua's expression.

"I think what they said is right. Not everyone can be a national teacher." Minghua didn't take it seriously. As a national teacher, she was free to give some good ideas. Wouldn't it be nice to make a lot of merit in the success of things?
