The metaphysics princess fortune-telling spirit, the abstinent and cruel king is addicted to pets

It's only been a while, but it's snowing continuously.

The people are suffering, but the court is also suffering, and the treasury has not much money left.

Moreover, after successive natural disasters, there were rumors in Kyoto that Emperor Mu Wu had lost his virtue, so the two sons rebelled and usurped the throne one after another, and died unexpectedly.

The ministers heard the rumors, but no one dared to mention them in front of Emperor Mu Wu, so Cao Ge's face was gloomy, and he asked directly: "Your Majesty, natural disasters have continued in the past two years, and the people have scolded you for being fatuous and immoral, so you don't write about it. A guilty edict to stabilize the hearts of the people? Let God put the fire away?"

"Hey, I'll ask myself..." But Emperor Mu Wu looked at Ye Siheng and stopped talking, "I'll write it right away, and ask the eminent monks to chant scriptures, and pray to the heavens that it won't snow again."

Ninth Brother now has a higher goal, he must hold on and not leave the mess to Ninth Brother.

Elder Cao Ge nodded in satisfaction, "It's not too late, your majesty, write it quickly."

Ye Siheng raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Brother Huang is not licentious and immoral. Over the years, he has never increased taxes. Most people in Mu country have fields to cultivate and food to feed themselves. Why do you write an edict to punish yourself? God wants people to die." , so the disaster, can this be blamed on one person?"

Mr. Cao Ge argued with him: "But now it is snowing non-stop, the people are ignorant, and they only say that those in power are immoral! Ninth Prince, we naturally know the emperor's wisdom, but now we need to stabilize the hearts of the people, so that the people will not be incited by those who want to rebel!"

Emperor Mu Wu nodded, "What Cao Ge said is that my reputation is not important, the important thing is to stabilize the situation, so as not to see blood again when the time comes."

He turned his head to persuade Ye Siheng, "Ninth Brother, the imperial treasury is empty now, and there are winds and snows blocking the way, so it's not easy to rescue the disaster, so that's the only way to go."

After all, he sighed again and again, with a slumped face, as before, as if his life was approaching.

Cao Ge stroked his beard, and looked at Chu Hanlin intentionally or unintentionally, "It would be great if there are big merchants who contribute money and efforts to help with disaster relief, and the emperor will not be so embarrassing."

"That's not true." Emperor Mu Wu shook his head lightly, "But I can't force merchants to pay money, otherwise, it's no different from robbers."

Ye Siheng glanced at the two of them.

No wonder Mr. Cao Ge was so aggressive, it turned out he was singing a double reed.

Although Chu Hanlin is a general, it doesn't mean he has no brains.

Emperor Mu Wu and Cao Ge and the others just want his son to donate money.

This little bastard, obviously let him keep a low profile on weekdays and not be too conspicuous.

Look, now that the court is short of money, it thinks of him and the Qian family.

Once or twice is okay, but his son's money was not brought by a strong wind. He started, but he couldn't keep it.

Besides, he didn't know what his son was thinking, so he didn't want to make decisions for his son, so now Chu Hanlin stood with his head held high, thinking that he was stupid and couldn't understand what Emperor Mu Wu and Elder Cao Ge were saying.

When Cao Ge saw that Chu Hanlin was so stable, he became a little anxious, so he said directly: "Mr. An, your second son's business is not small, and his biological mother is from the Qian family. Now the emperor is distressed and the court is in trouble. He should Come forward."

Chu Hanlin rolled his eyes inwardly.

This Cao Ge is always for the country and the people, but he comes from a poor family and has a poor style of work, sometimes he grits his teeth on the powerful families.

As everyone knows, the wealth of a powerful family has also been accumulated through the hard work of many generations.

Civil servants study hard in cold windows.

But generals are going to fight on the battlefield, and exchange their lives for honor!
But now that Mr. Cao Ge opened his mouth, and in front of the emperor, it was hard for him to refuse.

Just as he was about to speak, Ye Siheng said, "Earlier, Second Brother and Mrs. Ming paid for winter clothes and distributed them to the people. This has already cost a lot of money. Second Brother has a big business, but his money is not endless."

Cao Ge hummed: "How can the second son have no money? His marriage will be a big deal. I heard that this marriage will cost more than [-] taels. If this money is used for disaster relief, it will not only save the court It is an urgent need, and it can also allow the second son to accumulate merit, so why not do it!"

Prime Minister Lu wanted to stand aside, but Elder Cao Ge glared at him then: "Prime Minister Lu, the second son-in-law is your future son-in-law, as long as you say a word, your two families will be of great merit!"

Prime Minister Lu is also angry. He used to avoid suspicion, which caused him to drink poisonous tea. Now he accepts the kindness of his future son-in-law, and after talking with him a few times, he realized that Chu Shuo and Mrs. Ming spent a lot of money on making winter clothes. 10 taels of silver.

Not to mention the heavy rain last year, Chu Shuo and the Qian family also contributed money to rebuild their homes for the people.

The future son-in-law will pay a lot of money, and now I want a more luxurious wedding, how can this not be possible? !

Prime Minister Lu snorted louder, and rolled his eyes directly, "The emperor promised to let my future son-in-law hold a more luxurious wedding, but now you want him not to hold the wedding, you still have the emperor in your eyes What? Let the face of our two families go! "

Cao Ge frowned and retorted: "It's not that we don't do it, but it's more common."

"Ordinary? My son won't marry anymore. I'm just such a daughter, but you let her marry in a shabby way?" Prime Minister Lu said, "Mr. Cao Ge, is it because we sometimes have different political opinions and you deliberately make her marry?" These bad moves to embarrass me?"

Cao Ge was angry: "We have known each other for many years, but you still don't understand me? If I make things difficult for you, you will definitely be upright! Now the court has no money, so I asked your future son-in-law to help me and donate some money."

The two glared at each other, and almost started doing it in front of everyone.

But Ye Siheng knocked on the table suddenly, and said coldly: "This time, the snowstorm is sweeping across the country, how much can merchants donate? This king will take the lead first, and together with A Li, take out 10 taels. Hundreds of officials will also donate." Money pays money, strength contributes.”

Cao Ge didn't expect Ye Siheng to be so forthright. With the Ninth Prince taking the lead, all the officials would definitely donate less.

He also immediately said: "My lord, Gao Yi! I will also donate 500 taels!"

This is already all his belongings.

As for rice, food, old clothes and so on, he will also ask his wife to prepare.

Ye Siheng glanced at him: "Cao Ge cares about the common people, I am very pleased. But doing good deeds must be done according to one's ability, you should go back and discuss with your wife, and then decide how much money to give."

Elder Cao Ge didn't think so, "The lower official is the head of the family, so he can make the decision naturally, why should he discuss it with his wife."

Ye Siheng hated his style, he was stubborn, and he didn't respect his wife.

He said: "You are a good official and a good teacher, but you are not a good husband or father. This king knows that you are for the people, the country and the community, but you are also the pillar of the family. You can't just think about others, sometimes You have to think about your family."

All the cabinet ministers are here.

Elder Cao Ge couldn't help but flick his sleeves angrily: "If everyone protects their shortcomings like the prince, the court will have no laws to follow, and I have a clear conscience!"
