I didn't expect to die.

Immediately, the imperial guards came up and dragged them out.

After dealing with these people, Emperor Hongyuan glared at the queen angrily, "queen, as for you, this matter has nothing to do with you. But Mrs. Wei is your sister. Her fault is your fault. Who told you that you are not strict with her and connive her to be arrogant outside! From now on, you will go to the temple for a month and copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times. Can you be convinced to punish another 500000 taels of silver for disaster relief? "

Of course, the queen was not convinced, but on the surface she had to say, "yes, I know!"

At this time, Emperor Hongyuan looked at Chu xuanchen, "King Li, today is the deadline for you to raise money. How much have you raised?"

Chu xuanchen looked at the empress and said, "when I return to the emperor, I will only raise 50000 taels of silver."

"What? I asked you to raise 1.8 million taels of silver, but you only raised 50000 taels. Why Emperor Hongyuan asked angrily.

Chu Xuan Chen calmly picks eyebrows, "because the silver is all raised by the queen.". On the first day of fund-raising, I have put down a thin wine to invite all the important ministers and nobles to dinner and encourage them to donate money. However, he refused to donate money to the minister on the ground that he had already donated it to the queen. Fortunately, Han Taifu donated some money to him, otherwise he would have difficulty raising 50000 Liang. "

Emperor Hongyuan was stunned when he heard this.

The queen said quickly: "King Li, people trust our palace and want to donate the silver to our palace. It's someone else's business. It's not my palace's intention to embarrass you. "

"I know, but I think that so much silver has not been used in the people. I am extremely worried." Chu xuanchen road.

Seeing this, Han Taifu said hurriedly: "emperor, according to the old minister, since the queen has already raised money, time is urgent, why ask King Li to raise money again. I think we should give the money raised by the queen to King Li and let him take it to Jiangnan for disaster relief. "

Li Taishi also said: "yes, emperor, now there are many people's grievances outside, and the people are displaced. If the flood is not cured, I am afraid it will shake the foundation of the country. "

Zhang Fu Yin also said: "emperor, the money raised by the empress is also for the victims. However, in the event of the state of Wei's wife, the empress also suffered a great loss of popular support. The minister thought that the charity money should be handed over to King Li for disaster relief in order to convince the people. And it can't be delayed any longer. If we drag on, I'm afraid the public indignation will not be appeased. Chen Ke has heard that there are already victims plotting a rebellion in the area south of the Yangtze River! "

Hearing this, the queen immediately glared at Zhang Fu Yin with hatred.

Emperor Hongyuan also knew that the fire was burning at this time, and he had to provide disaster relief as soon as possible.

But when he thought of the money raised by the empress, he finally let Chu xuanchen take it to the disaster relief, and let Chu xuanchen get a good reputation, he was very uncomfortable.

But discomfort belongs to discomfort. Now people are the most important.

No matter how uncomfortable he is, he must come to the people first, otherwise he will not be able to sit on the Dragon chair.

He then said, "well, since everyone says so, I'll give the three million taels of silver raised by the queen, plus the 500000 taels of silver she fined, to King Li and take them to Jiangnan for disaster relief. King Li, I will give you this burden. You must not let me down! "

Chu xuanchen immediately arched his hand, "please rest assured that the emperor will make good use of the money and use it for the people. I will never cheat others and enrich my own pockets like Mrs. Wei. "
