Liu Hong and Zhang xingying squinted their eyes and looked over. They saw a young official in a green robe standing in front of Xu niannian, who was also wearing a green robe. He was angrily cursing and spitting.
Liu Hong’s eyes were not very good. After looking around for a long time, he asked,
“Who is that?”
“I’m Qian Mu,” Zhang xingying said with a smile.
Liu Hong laughed as well, ”
“Those hotheaded young men who wrote memorials to Sue the assistant Minister of the Ministry of official personnel for corruption and bribery, leading to the death of many officials from the Ministry of official personnel?
“It seems like he has been sitting on the cold bench for too long and his butt can’t stand the cold, so he came here to prove his loyalty.”
Zhang xingying shook his head,”to be someone’s gun.” In the short term, there will indeed be benefits, but in the long run, ha, if he enrages His Majesty, what good will he expect?”
Liu Hong smiled,”it’s not a big deal. Once you’ve pledged your loyalty and joined the Green Party, you can still be an official.” As long as he keeps a low profile in the future, will His Majesty still be able to keep an eye on him?”
On one side, they were talking and laughing, while on the other side, they were ready to fight.
Qian Mu pointed at Xu niannian and said, ”
“During the winter, the honest people in the court were short of rice and charcoal. Not everyone was like Xu Tanhua, who had a family of thousands of gold taels and a life of luxury.
“Three months” worth of salary, how are you going to let those colleagues who have nothing to do survive this winter?”
Without waiting for Xu niannian to speak, he sneered and said sarcastically, ”
“In order to please His Majesty, you actually came up with such an absurd plan. I’m from the same generation as you, and I also feel that I’ve lost face.”
The surrounding officials chimed in.
I’m doing this for the common people, ” Xu niannian said expressionlessly. I have a clear conscience.
“What a good” clear conscience “!”
Qian Mu laughed and said loudly,”I’m willing to give up all my property to fill the National Treasury and provide relief to the victims.” Xu Tanhua, since you have a clear conscience and are doing this for the common people, do you dare to donate all your family assets like I did?”
After he finished speaking, the crowd cheered, ”
“Lord Qian has noble character and unquestionable integrity.”
“Lord Qian, you’re a righteous man.”
Everyone looked at Xu niannian with mischievous eyes.
Xu niannian frowned. Qian MU’s words were shameless. The Xu family had a lot of shops, fertile land, and the chicken essence dividends left by his elder brother. What did Qian Mu have?
Although he was not penniless, after sitting on the cold bench for so long, he was afraid that his family only had a few buckets of rice and a few taels of silver.
However, he couldn’t argue with them because neither Qian Mu, the people behind him, or the officials around him could reason with him.
They were here to find trouble.
If he ignored her, he might be called a “hypocrite” again in the new year after the court session.
At this moment, chief advisor Wang walked over. He didn’t say anything, but just glanced at the officials around him coldly.
The officials immediately fell silent.
Qian Mu smiled. Regardless of whether Xu niannian responded or not, he had already conveyed what he wanted to express.
After that, there was no more movement, until the dawn came and the drums sounded.
The civil and military officials remained silent. They passed through the meridian Gate, crossed the Golden water Bridge, and lined up in order, according to their ranks.
Only a small group of people could enter the throne room.
Xu niannian, as one of the core figures of this storm, was also allowed to enter the hall, but he had to stand at the entrance of the hall.
After everyone entered the palace, Emperor Yongxing arrived a few minutes later.
He sat high on the Dragon Throne and looked down at the officials. He said loudly, ”
“The various places are suffering from serious disasters. As the Emperor of a country, I am very sad. Do you all have any good disaster relief strategies?”
The Dukes and nobles below showed expressions of “I knew this would happen” and made a few superficial suggestions, such as tax reduction and calling on the Squires to donate.
Emperor Yongxing said,
“Since we want to donate, the Imperial court and the beloved ministers should set an example. This way, the Squires will be willing and can also warn the officials to prevent them from embezzling.”
If they only called on the Squires to donate, most of the silver would be exploited.
