After reading the heart milk ball, the cannon fodder family went crazy

The two of them originally just didn't want to be bullied by each other, but when they realized what they had said, they almost felt regretful.

That's one million taels. They want to embezzle...ah, no, how many years of hard work can it take to earn it for the people?

For a time, each hated the other and Zheng Wenchang.

Giving so much free money to the people is a sin!

Zheng Wenchang breathed a sigh of relief: Having officials like you in the court is the unlucky thing that has brought the common people down for eight lifetimes!

Master Cui and Master Lu: Can’t hear you...

Jiang Lianying presented the paper with the donation amount written by the two people to Emperor Ming. Looking at the words one million taels written on the paper, Emperor Ming's eyes darkened.

In the past, every time the courtiers were asked to donate money, the two old foxes Cui Taishi and Lu Taifu would give him hundreds of taels of silver. The most they ever donated was two thousand taels of silver each.

The courtiers followed his example and donated hundreds of silver each time. After the donation was over, they would complain to him about their poverty.

After several times, even Emperor Ming began to believe that these ministers had no money.

But what does he see now?

Each of them donated one million taels of silver!

When the national treasury was at its fullest, it was only eight million taels of silver, but now Cui Taishi and Lu Taifu had spent a quarter of the national treasury.

Emperor Ming was sure that this one million taels was just a drop in the bucket to them.

I guess only they know how much money they have.

For a moment, Emperor Ming felt that he was really a coward as an emperor.

Apart from the fact that these aristocratic families do not have the title of emperor, what is the difference between them and the emperor?

No wonder they refused to send their direct daughter to the palace, they still looked down on him emotionally.

Emperor Ming felt aggrieved and angry, but he had to pretend to appreciate it and said: "It is true that the two beloved ministers are willing to donate one million taels of silver for the people. However, the silver donated by the two beloved ministers is the same, so it is difficult to divide it. Up and down, how about this, how about the names of the two beloved ladies side by side?"

Master Cui and Master Lu looked at each other, then moved their eyes away in disgust.

Given a choice, neither of them wanted to be next to the other's name.

But they also knew in their hearts that if they continued to fight, only Emperor Ming would benefit.

Thinking about the money they had donated in a fit of enthusiasm, the two of them felt so regretful that they had no choice but to hold their noses and accept Emperor Ming's suggestion.

"Everything is at your Majesty's discretion," Taishi Cui said.

"The same goes for me," Taifu Lu said.

The two expressed their opinions one after another. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the regret and anger in their words.

Emperor Ming nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at the others and said, "Which beloved would like to make a donation?"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate five hundred thousand taels." Wang Taibao, another one of the three princes, said.

If this amount were normal, Emperor Ming would be so shocked that his jaw would drop.

But after the impact of Taishi Cui and Taifu Lu just now, Emperor Ming felt calm and even disliked Wang Taibao in his heart.

Wang Taibao was born in the Langya Wang family, and his family has been passed down for thousands of years. He is no less generous than the Cui family and the Lu family.

But now they have only given out 500,000 taels, which is either a deliberate show of weakness or a sign of weakness.

If it's the former, everyone will be happy. If it's the latter, it seems that the ambitions of the Wang family are not small.

The three gentlemen all donated, and the others couldn't hide it, so they all said how much they wanted to donate.

There are the examples of Taishi Cui and Taifu Lu. Although many people are also competing for ranking, everyone has stopped.

Soon, the amount of silver donated by the courtiers was calculated.

Although he was well prepared, when he saw the dazzling five million taels of silver, Emperor Ming still felt a huge wave of shock in his heart.

Needless to say, Sangong and other aristocratic families, but I didn’t expect that a Hanlin Academy student could spend 50,000 taels of silver!

Emperor Ming's heart froze, and he quickly went through everyone's names with the list.

After discovering that these people were either from aristocratic families or were inextricably related to aristocratic families, Emperor Ming's heart completely died.

After settling the donation matter, the palace banquet continued.

After a while, the Queen Mother left first, and then Emperor Ming and the Queen also found an excuse to leave. The three most powerful people left, and the atmosphere in the hall completely relaxed.

The Su family and the Zheng family sat for a while, and after seeing Su Zhaozhao dozing off from exhaustion, they left together.

When Su Zhaozhao woke up, he found that it was already the next morning.

She got dressed with the help of the maid, washed her face and went to the hall to have breakfast.

Seeing Zheng Wenchang appear at Su's house early in the morning, Su Zhaozhao felt as if he had seen a ghost.

[No, why does Uncle Zheng come here every day? Is there some conspiracy? 】

Su Youmin was talking to Zheng Wenchang. After hearing this, he suddenly realized that Zheng Wenchang had been visiting the Su family too frequently recently.

I used to come here once every seven or eight days, but now I come here almost every day.

Is there really any conspiracy?

For a moment, all the Su family members looked at Zheng Wenchang with inquiring eyes.

[Does he have a crush on my mother or some aunt? 】

Zheng Wenchang's back felt cold, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

You can take medicine randomly, but you may not speak nonsense. Is he this kind of person?

Su family members: They didn’t look alike at first, but now they look more and more like each other.

Su Dahai and Su Dajiang silently blocked their wives behind them, blocking Zheng Wenchang's gaze.

Su Meihua and Su Hehua turned their bodies slightly sideways to avoid Zheng Wenchang's gaze.

Su Youmin looked at Mrs. Su's wrinkled face and hesitated to speak, maybe, probably, maybe not?

Zheng Wenchang:?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

He is a human being, not an animal!

Zheng Wenchang wanted to cry but had no tears.

The reputation he had worked hard to cultivate for more than ten years was ruined by Su Zhaozhao's words!

He hates!

"Uncle, actually I came here today to ask Mu Qian to help me with an idea." Zheng Wenchang said bravely.

If we don't explain clearly, who knows what kind of shocking words Su Zhaozhao, the aunt, will say!

[Uncle Zheng uses this reason every time he comes to see Third Uncle. Isn’t it the Third Uncle that he likes? 】

[Hey, it seems really possible. Every time he comes here, he is looking for his third uncle]

Su Dahe suddenly felt a chill in his chrysanthemums, and had an ominous premonition.

Zheng Wenchang was so angry that he jumped on his feet: slander, naked slander!

You can count on five fingers the number of times he came to see Su Dahe alone!

[If Uncle Zheng really likes Uncle San, what should I call Uncle Zheng? Third uncle and aunt? 】

Zheng Wenchang burst into tears: Listen to me and thank you...

Ah, no, why should I call you third uncle and aunt? Isn’t it third uncle?

After realizing that his thoughts were completely led astray by Su Zhaozhao, Zheng Wenchang quickly shook his head to get rid of all the unclean thoughts in his mind.

He has a wife and children, but he likes women, not men!

"Master Zheng, since you have something to ask me for, why don't we go to the study to discuss it in detail?" Su Dahe said.

If he doesn't leave, his thoughts will be affected by Su Zhaozhao.

Zheng Wenchang nodded excitedly, and when he was about to leave, Su Zhaozhao's voice came to his mind again.

[Uncle Zheng was so happy when Third Uncle said he was going to the study. He really liked Third Uncle! 】

Zheng Wenchang:?

To go now or not to go, that is the question...
