The imperial concubine was spoiled by the prince again

Chapter 220 So Little

He looked at Xiao Yunzhi dissatisfied, but the latter only smiled at him, as if saying: Yes, if something goes wrong, it's because you are incompetent.

Xiao Yunming didn't dare to question the emperor's will, and was laughed mockingly by Xiao Yunzhi for a long time, he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to grind his back molars hard.

Xiao Yunzhi smiled and continued: "Nothing is more important than life. As long as they don't die and the follow-up supplies keep up, the disaster will always pass."

"After that, there will be a series of donations, and Lunan County will soon recover and prosper."

"The same is true for border military supplies. Even after General Huo leaves, we should continue to work hard to support. The soldiers who defend the country should not starve or freeze. Once the Ministry of Finance allocates money, it will be sent immediately. The soldiers will never be cold. heart of!"

Hearing this, Huo Jinhe turned his head and looked at him silently.

The prince at the moment is not that annoying, at least he is much more pleasing to the eye than the hideous Xiao Yunming.

The official suddenly realized and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty is a great talent, but my humble minister is dull!"

The emperor snorted, "Fortunately, the prince is not as brainless as you are."

The courtiers who said this were blushing and speechless.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor asked Eunuch Zhang to read out the second edict.

It is to let Xiao Yunzhi be responsible for raising donations, and send the proceeds of the donations to Lunan as soon as possible.

This is also not an easy task - since it is a charity, it is natural not to force others, but under the premise of voluntary, how many people would be willing to contribute money and effort for those strangers who have never met?
If someone is in the way, it will be even more difficult to achieve fundraising.

Xiao Yunming felt the pain in his legs, and he was already thinking about how to make trouble.

This time the courtiers had learned their lesson and did not dare to express their opinions anymore, but Xiao Yunchen took the lead and shouted: "My minister voluntarily donated 2000 taels of silver!"

Those who know him well know that the second prince has no money, the kind of money that doesn't have much income except for food and clothing.

Moreover, he does not seize real power, and no one curries and gives gifts for official luck. The 2000 taels may have emptied his family.

With him taking the lead, the other courtiers were ashamed to keep silent, and they all reported their numbers in twos and threes.

However, these silver taels are still a drop in the bucket for disaster relief.

The upright Xiao Yunchen frowned: "It's so rare."

The courtiers looked embarrassed, but they still insisted on keeping silent. After all, money is more important than face.

After thinking for a long time, Xiao Yunchen proposed again: "Why don't I pay another 200 taels?"

Xiao Yunzhi asked him helplessly: "Do you still have any money to take to the border?"

Xiao Yunchen: ...It seems that there are really not many left.

He didn't have a formal official position, so he only got a meager salary from the errands given by his father. If it weren't for his father's rewards from time to time, he might have been destitute. Thinking of this, he looked up at his father as if asking for help.

The emperor got angry when he saw him recently, so he simply looked away and let Eunuch Zhang issue the third imperial edict.

It was the intention for the second prince to go to the border with General Huo at another day.

After reading out the imperial decree, the emperor glanced at Xiao Yunchen, and found that this fool had no fear at all, but was eager to try, and his mood suddenly became very complicated.

"Any comments?"

The emperor asked the ministers in a bad tone: "If you have an opinion, bring it up with a solution, and if you have no opinion, just shut up and retreat."

Ministers:  …

After the court, Xiao Yunzhi was left alone to talk again. The emperor was very curious about his fundraising plan, so he didn't mention it in the court just now to prevent those cunning ministers from having the opportunity to prepare countermeasures in advance.

After the secret conversation between father and son, as soon as Xiao Yunzhi left, the emperor burst out laughing in the hall. Eunuch Zhang was puzzled when he returned after seeing off His Royal Highness, and only heard His Majesty say: "I underestimated this son."
