Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

When the carriages from Jizhou, Weizhou and other places arrived in the capital, the well-informed people in the capital could not help feeling the shock.

The shopkeeper of Baihualou stood at the door of the store and watched the horses and horses like a dragon, which never stopped. "Today, I've gained some knowledge. There are so many things... If the carriage stops, our entire street will be blocked!"

"Isn't it?" The accountant, who was pulling the abacus, also came out to watch the excitement.

"I heard from the people at the gate of the city that this is Princess Anle's birthday present for our emperor!" The boy in the arm shop pretended to be gesticulating, his eyes gleaming involuntarily.

"If it's true, then our emperor will really enjoy the blessing... The princess is really filial..." The old accountant couldn't help but look envious.Every family has a difficult scripture to recite. Yesterday, his youngest son was going to join the army, so he gave him a good lesson.

Looking at his disobedient boy, and then at the convoy like flowing water, the old accountant touched the stick beside him, and went home to beat his son.

The shopkeeper didn't stop her, but he was full of envy, and said: "After all, it's my daughter, my little girl who married to Nancheng doesn't know if she's doing well now..."

……

Imperial Palace - Chongguang Hall

The old emperor was still listening to the arguments of the courtiers with an old god, and it was nothing more than trivial matters.

Those with the same expression as the old emperor were the old Wang Ge who had been working overtime for half a month, and Taifu Ji who had just recovered from his illness and was rejected by the old emperor.

It was also summer at this time, and the weather was so dull that it made people sleepy and unable to keep their eyes open.

At this time, a guard in armor suddenly entered the hall and said: "Your Majesty, there are several carriages parked outside the gate of the imperial city, and they are said to be gifts from Princess Anle to celebrate your birthday in advance..."

The old emperor just felt strange and asked, "Really Anle? Where did she get so many gifts for...?"

Immediately afterwards, the old emperor became interested, waved his hands and said: "Since it is my daughter's wish, then hand it all over, and bring up the gifts to share with you."

"This..." The guard hesitated, wanting to say something.

"Don't go soon!"

As soon as the old emperor issued an order, the guards hurriedly left the Chongguang Hall.

"Oh, my daughter is very filial..." The old emperor said with emotion along with the surrounding courtiers.

I originally wanted to send this disaster away, but I didn't expect that there would be more happy events today.

After a while, the soldier and the leader of the convoy came to Chongguang Hall to meet him.Behind them are dozens of soldiers carrying boxes.

The leader of the team was originally a businessman, and was sent by the prefect of Jizhou to escort the goods. He was already terrified, but now that he suddenly saw the holy face, he fell to the ground.

The old emperor took great advantage of this respect, smiled and got the leader up, and asked, "Did Anle ask you to bring anything?"

The team leader was trembling, and tremblingly said: "Princess walked in a hurry, but... didn't leave any words."

These words made the old emperor's complexion lose three points, and he couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.Are you still angry with me?It really belongs to a child's family, how can anyone do this for a child?
But what the leader said afterwards made the old emperor smile.

"The princess specially asked... to give me the gift before the Longevity Day." The team leader took out a few pieces of paper from his collar and offered them with both hands.

"A total of adults from Jiangzhou, Jizhou and other seven states helped to prepare, 130 carriages, and 530 seven treasures, all of which are birthday presents from Princess Anle to His Majesty."

The old emperor's complexion suddenly brightened, and he smiled from ear to ear.A few days ago, he wanted to build a palace, but the old man in the household department refused to pay half a dime.It's better now, with Anle's birthday gifts, it's just a palace haha...

The ministers around, you look at me, I look at you, their faces are full of disbelief.

An old man tremblingly asked: "More than 100 carriages? Your Majesty, don't lie..."

The team leader had no choice but to put on a bitter face, and explained to the adults: "There are indeed more than 100 vehicles, and now Chonghua Road and Baiyu Road are blocked. Fortunately, the adults of the Imperial Army are helping to arrange them..."

Seeing that the matter was serious, the courtiers couldn't help discussing it uproariously.

This Princess Anle is really powerful, even though she has left Qiaodu, she still has a mark of not being easy to mess with in the eyes of the adults.

The things that came out from Jiangzhou and Jizhou a few days ago were already crazy. I thought this master would calm down a bit, but I didn't expect to be surprised today.

"Good daughter, good daughter. She is really my good princess!" The old emperor was so happy from ear to ear, completely forgetting all the troubles that Jiang Sile had caused him before.

The courtiers had hesitation on their faces. Some time ago, the princess was so provocative. Is it really time to get over it now?

Most people don't believe it in their hearts, but they still have some joy on their faces.

After all, this is real money. If the real money is in your hands, even if the original intention is not the case, you have to accept the whole heart of others.

When the crates of wooden boxes had filled the empty space of the hall, the old emperor also panicked and asked the soldiers to move to the warehouse again. At this time, the original hesitation in the eyes of the ministers disappeared, and turned into ecstasy and envy.

Especially Mr. Xia from the household department, since he became the secretary of the household department, the whole person has fallen into the eyes of money, and he usually keeps it secret.

A few days ago, on the grounds that the national treasury was poor, he first rejected the Ministry of Punishment's funding for the renovation of the prison, and then even the matter of His Majesty's construction of the palace was also stubbornly insisted on.

As far as the little money in the treasury is concerned, it looks like nothing.It is said that Mr. Xia is so stingy now that even the rats passing by the treasury would tremble with a few ounces of flesh on their bodies.

When the ministers were discussing just now, Master Xia didn't take it seriously, and the smile on his face was more than thinking about something.

But when he saw the big box full of gifts, the longing in Lord Xia's eyes couldn't be ignored. At this moment, he was still staring at the old emperor eagerly, eager to share some of the gifts and put them in the treasury.

The old emperor was quite proud of being seen. In the past, this old man was very fussy. I have worked hard for many years, and the government has never fallen.

Although he thought so, the old emperor still couldn't see Xia Shangshu's appearance. He coughed lightly, looked at the new commander of the imperial army, Ji Ze, and said in a deep voice, "Divide those gifts...to one-tenth. Giving it to the national treasury can be regarded as my joy with the people."

The old emperor forced a smile on his face, and opened his mouth quite painfully.

His Highness Xia Shangshu was quite dissatisfied with His Majesty's instigation in his heart.On weekdays, you even asked the Ministry of Households to pay for rewards and palace repairs, but now the treasury is finally asking for money back.

But at any rate, when the money was coming, Xia Shang was decent in writing, and continued to look cheerful and smiling.
