Chapter 2979 His Highness the Crown Prince Begs for Mercy 46

Chu Youjin led Luo Liyan to her tent first, and after settling in, she went to greet the emperor.

As soon as he came in, he saw the two people sitting in the upper seats. They looked at him with a rare look of kindness.

After greeting him, he was about to report the hunting arrangements, but the emperor interrupted him directly.

"I heard that you fell in love with a girl. I thought it was just what everyone else said, but I never thought it was true! Why don't you ask me for a marriage? You are the Crown Prince of the dynasty, and you must not do that kind of thing to play with the people. This is about women!”

"My son, I want to marry Yanyan, but it's not the right time to mention it at this time. I'll ask my father for permission when the Jiangnan floods come true." Chu Youjin replied very respectfully.

But in fact, he just didn't want the person in front of him who he should call his father to have a chance to appear in his marriage to Yanyan.

Otherwise, the diaphragm will panic.

When he heard the word "flood", the smile on the emperor's face faded a bit, and turned into the look of disgust again.

"Those unscrupulous people are still rebelling?"

"Yes, there are still four cities away from the capital!" Chu Youjin answered without any emotion.

But Concubine Rong and the Emperor were shocked.

"Four seats? How could it be so fast?!" The emperor gritted his teeth and asked bitterly. Without waiting for Chu Youjin's answer, he continued, "I have already said that I cannot be kind to these unruly people. You insist on You have to hold it off! If something goes wrong with the country of Yan, can you take the responsibility?"

"If the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are not cured, the entire south of the Yangtze River will be full of rebels. Does the emperor want to massacre all the millions of people affected by the floods in the six provinces of the south of the Yangtze River?" Chu Youjin did not tolerate any compromise and raised her head to look at the emperor with an attitude. Very firm.

"Please ask Father to issue an order to allocate funds for disaster relief!"

Although the emperor really didn't care about the millions of victims, if so many people were massacred, it would probably be an infamy in the history books.

He gritted his teeth and finally resisted the thought of directly ordering Chu Youjin to lead the troops to fight.

"Then after the spring hunting is over, we can have a good discussion with the Ministry of Household Affairs on how much money can be allocated from the treasury for disaster relief!" The emperor said helplessly, and then seemed to have thought of something, and then added, "But The silver for repairing the imperial mausoleum cannot be touched."

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Rong pursed her lips and gently tugged on his sleeves, her tone of voice lingering and gentle.

The emperor took one look at her and immediately felt relieved.

Then he warned again, "As well as the expenses for your third emperor's brother's wedding, and the money spent on repairing this palace, they cannot be touched!"

Palace... wedding? !

Chu Youjin lowered her eyes to cover up the sarcasm in her eyes.

They were already living a luxurious life and drained the treasury until it was almost empty.

Now there are two more expenses. The money that can be taken out of the treasury is only one million taels, so what can it do? !

"My son, I have already calculated the amount of silver needed for disaster relief. I will submit it to my father when I go to court so that I can discuss it with the Ministry of Household Affairs!" Chu Youjin said his own thoughts, completely ignoring what the emperor said before. In eyes.

The emperor's face changed with anger, but then he thought that there was no need to argue at this time, so as not to ruin his spring hunting mood.

Anyway, the treasury belongs to him, and he has the final say on how much he can and should spend.

It was not Chu Youjin’s turn as a son and minister to make the decision.

"Okay! We'll discuss this matter when we go to court! You go prepare for the spring hunting first!"
