    ?

    Unexpectedly, it was still a dead end.

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

    After disposing of these people, Emperor Hongyuan glared at the queen angrily, "Queen, as for you, although this matter has nothing to do with you. But Mrs. Wei is your sister, and her fault is your fault. Who told you to treat her?  Lack of discipline, allowing her to be arrogant outside! From now on, you will go to the Taimiao Temple to contemplate for a month, and you will have to copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times. You will be fined another five hundred thousand taels of silver for disaster relief, are you convinced?"

    Of course the queen was not convinced in her heart, but on the surface she had to say, "Yes, the concubine knows!"

    At this moment, Emperor Hongyuan looked at Chu Xuanchen, "King Li, today is your deadline for fundraising. How much have you raised?"

    Chu Xuanchen glanced at the queen, and said: "Back to the emperor, I only raised fifty thousand taels of silver."

    "What? I asked you to raise 1.8 million taels of silver, but you only raised 50,000 taels. Why?" Emperor Hongyuan asked angrily.

    Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows calmly, "Because all the money was raised by the queen. On the first day of fundraising, the minister had already set out bouillon, invited all the important ministers and nobles to come to dinner, and encouraged them to donate. But he had already donated to  The queen refused to donate money to the minister. Fortunately, Taifu Han and the others donated some silver to the minister, otherwise it would be difficult for the minister to raise 50,000 taels."

    When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he was taken aback.

    The queen hurriedly said: "King Li, I trust me and want to donate the silver to me. This is my business, it's not that I deliberately make things difficult for you."

    "I know, but I am extremely worried when I think that so much money is useless on the common people." Chu Xuanchen said.

    Seeing this, Taifu Han hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, since the empress has already raised the money and the time is urgent, why do you need to ask Li Wang to raise it again. I think that the money raised by the empress should be handed over to Li Wang  , let King Li take it to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief."

    Grand Master Li also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, now there are many complaints from the people outside, and the people are displaced. If the flood is not cured, it may shake the foundation of the country."

    Zhang Fuyin also said: "Your Majesty, the money raised by the empress is also for the disaster victims. But the matter of Mrs. Wei before, the empress also lost the hearts of the people. I think that the donation should be handed over to King Li to relieve the disaster, so that we can let the money go.  The common people are convinced. And this matter cannot be delayed any longer. If it continues, I am afraid that the public anger will not be appeased. I heard that there are already disaster victims plotting a rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River!"

    When the queen heard this, she immediately gave Zhang Fu Yin a hateful look.

    Emperor Hongyuan also knew that the fire was imminent at this time, and the disaster must be rescued as soon as possible.

    However, when he thought that the money raised by the queen was eventually used by Chu Xuanchen for disaster relief, and Chu Xuanchen gained a good reputation for nothing, he felt very uncomfortable.

    But if you are uncomfortable, you are uncomfortable. Now the people are the most important thing.

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

    He said: "Okay, since everyone said so, then I decided to give the three million taels of silver raised by the queen, plus the five hundred thousand taels of silver she fined, to King Li to take them to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief.  King, I entrust this burden to you, you must not let me down!"

    Chu Xuanchen immediately cupped his hands, "Please rest assured, your Majesty, I will definitely make good use of the donation and use it for the people. I will never do things like Mrs. Wei Guo, who deceived others and enriched their own pockets." (Remember  Website URL: www.hlnovel.com
