Chapter 323 Ye Dangdang [3]

Taiwei Hong panicked, he quickly looked up, but saw that His Majesty's face had darkened slightly, so he quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "The loyalty of the old minister to His Majesty can be learned from the sun and the moon!"

Ye Xiange said: "Don't wait for the sun and the moon to learn, you donate tens of thousands of silver to the Ministry of War right now, just in time for the Ministry of War to cast a batch of new weapons, and now there is a shortage of silver, your donation will definitely make His Majesty very happy." Joy and joy will definitely strengthen our country's military strength. Taiwei Hong, what do you think?"

Hong Taiwei's face was pale, and there was already fine sweat on his forehead, "Ye Shizi, even if you sell me, it won't be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

Ye Xiange laughed and said: "But last night I was drinking in a restaurant and met Mr. Ling. I heard that your family got a lot of money recently."

Taiwei Hong's face darkened, this rebellious son!

Ye Xiange continued: "Or do you say that you are rich, but you don't want to share your worries for His Majesty, and you are just saying your allegiance? Your behavior like this is not even as good as a pariah. It is a waste of His Majesty's trust in you."

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one dared to say anything.

This Ye Xiange is really a little devil in the world!

Every time at the court meeting, it can disturb everyone's peace!However, he dared to say whatever he wanted, without restraint, and with clever words, but His Majesty has always been concerned about his status as the eldest son, so he didn't care about it.

It's just that they suffer!

Last year, Ye Xiange broke the legs of an imperial official. His Majesty was furious when he found out, but he had to worry about his status as the prince of the country. In the end, he just ordered him to return to Jiangzhou County.

As a result, only one year later, he returned to Shengjing City and beat them all to death.

What's annoying is that they can't say no to him!

If he doesn't take out the money, he is a hypocrite. How can His Majesty reuse him in the future?

Hong Taiwei hated Ye Xiange to death in his heart at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the old minister's family really doesn't have that much silver, but the old minister is willing to invade the power of the whole family and donate 3000 taels of silver to the Ministry of War to forge weapons for our East Yu Kingdom." Taiwei Hong vomited so much that he wanted to vomit blood.

Xiao Yinglong's gloomy face finally eased a lot, he said with a smile: "Taiwei Hong, you have a heart."

As he spoke, he said to the personal historian beside him: "Quickly write it down."

The historian kept saying yes, and took a pen to write down the money donated by Hong Taiwei, 3000 taels.

Ye Xiange raised his eyes to look at the courtiers again: "Lieutenant Hong has donated money for the sake of the country and the safety of the people, don't you want to say something?"

The officials swallowed their saliva, and then expressed their willingness to donate some taels of silver. Some donated 1000 taels, some donated 500 taels, and when they were all counted together, there were more than 2 taels of silver in the end. This made the historian very excited. Even the smile on Xiao Yinglong's face softened a bit.

Qiu Shilang was still kneeling on the ground. At this time, he also raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I also donate 500 taels."

So the historian wrote it down again.

Xiao Yinglong's face was gentle, and he raised his hand, "Qiu Shilang, stay flat."

Qiu Shilang quickly took advantage of this to stand up.

But he vomited to death like Taiwei Hong in his heart, and instead of achieving his goal, he was forced to donate a lot of silver.

Xiao Yinglong hid the smile in his eyes, and his handsome, resolute and slightly youthful face was serious and serious: "This potato powder was researched by Zhang Tiezhu's family. Although I am the emperor, I can't take it by force."
