Chapter 897
Someone discovered that there was another person sitting on it. Who was His Majesty if not them?
The seats are placed on both sides, and there is an open space in the middle, which can accommodate all the ministers' movements.
Seeing that they were about to kneel down and salute, Jiang Zhao said: "From now on, there is no need to kneel down and salute."
"The court will be more upright and sit down."
"My lords, let's begin."
As Jiang Zhao finished speaking, the ministers did not refute. They stood in the center and bowed with their hands raised, then quickly found their seats and sat down. refute? The person who was the naysayer last time is still on trial in jail. This is something that is not particularly important, so don’t offend Your Majesty.
Looking at the refreshments on the table, they still felt like they were dreaming.
Is this going to court?
"Okay, let's talk about something."
Seeing that everyone was not used to it, Liu Qing decided to set an example for everyone. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I intend to donate a sum of money to the national treasury to contribute to the construction of your palace."
Liu Qing doesn't need much money. The money in the house is all made by Liu Chenghuo. It's a bit troublesome to keep it. It's better to send it to the treasury. The trouble can be solved easily, but it is also good to have less trouble.
Regent faction: It’s over. Are they, the Regent faction, going to be finished?
The regent has lost all his wealth, what else is it if he is not finished?
Jiang Zhao: "Okay."
The people from the Regent faction are very silent. The Regent has donated money, so they seem to have to express their feelings?
"My donation is 10 million." Liu Qing showed her big white teeth, "I hope your majesty will like it."
This is what has been calculated so far. Liu Chenghuo really knows how to make money.
Regent faction: I’m going to die! !
[Hahahahahahahaha...]
Chapter 286
As soon as Liu Qing opened his mouth, he donated 10 million silver taels to build the palace for His Majesty. The ministers felt that it would be better not to sit on this chair. In fact, they thought it was good to stand.
If the regent could take back what he said, they could stand for a lifetime.
That must be impossible.
Liu Qing had already prepared, and Yinzi had already been carried outside the palace gate. When Jiang Zhao gave the order, Yinzi would be pulled into the palace.
Jiang Zhao: "Then bring him in."
"You donated so much money to my practice palace, is there anything you want?" Jiang Zhao asked. Although these are not important, they still have to go through the process.
Liu Qing said: "Your Majesty speaks like this, so I'm not polite. In fact, I prefer to be the prime minister of a country than to be the regent."
Ministers: They recognize these words and understand them clearly, but when they are combined together, they find it difficult to understand. What kind of niche language is this?
[Hahahahaha, is this the reason why Prime Minister Liu, the Prime Minister, came from a shady background? 】
[I'm going to die laughing. The position of Prime Minister was obtained by donating money. It's so dreamy. I feel like His Majesty and Prime Minister Liu are very good at playing. If you hadn't witnessed it with your own eyes, who would have known it was so funny? 】
[In fact, Prime Minister Liu's intention is to get rid of the title of regent and start his own path as a wise minister. 】
[The truth of history is often so funny. Who would have thought of a record in the text that the process was like this? 】
Jiang Zhao glanced at the barrage: "That's right, from now on Liu Qing will be the prime minister, and there will be no regent in the Chu Dynasty."
Regent: No, no, Regent, what on earth are you playing at? Is there such a thing?
Facing those puzzled looks, Liu Qing responded calmly, sat down again, and took a leisurely sip of tea.
Jiang Zhao glanced at the ministers, and at that moment they all understood the meaning of his eyes. His Majesty wanted them to spend some money themselves. I didn't hear that the palace was going to be built, and there was no news about recruiting workers. It was said that the regent, no, Prime Minister Liu, had dismissed a group of people responsible for building the palace.
It is estimated that this palace cannot be built.
But His Majesty did not explain, fearing that he was thinking about the money in their pockets.
Even though they were not very willing, the ministers still stood up one by one and stated the amount they wanted to donate.
When Yushi Zhangju stood up and said that he would donate one hundred taels, all the ministers' eyes were on him. One hundred taels, isn't this guy afraid of angering His Majesty?
Zhang Ju was still a little uncomfortable. He had carefully calculated the one hundred taels to ensure that his whole family would not go hungry in the future. A little more and his family would starve. But he was still a little embarrassed to be stared at by so many eyes. He didn't feel ashamed. He was willing to do whatever he could to allow so many colleagues to use money from their pockets to enrich the national treasury.
The majesty in front of him was a good majesty. He saw hope, so he paid the one hundred taels willingly without any resentment. If he didn't have family members, he would just keep some food money for himself. It's just that he can go hungry and suffer, but he can't mistreat his family.
"Zhang Yushi, I only accept one tael from you."
Just when the ministers looked at each other and communicated with their eyes, Jiang Zhao spoke, and only accepted Zhang Ju's words, successfully attracting everyone's attention.
Throughout the dynasties, there have always been truly upright officials, and Zhang Ju is one of them. Now that he has met him, he naturally wants to protect him. This is a mascot.
Zhang Ju was also stunned and said quickly: "I am willing to donate silver to build the palace for His Majesty." He knew that the palace could not be built, otherwise His Majesty had just received so much money, and he would have immediately determined the time to start construction.
Jiang Zhao said: "I know that you have this intention. You have parents and children to take care of. If you donate more than half of your salary to the national treasury, what will you do when your family is in urgent need of money? Especially your son, who seems to be in poor health. When the court is dismissed, ask Wen Lan to come over and help before she leaves. She is a good doctor. And your donation of one tael is equivalent to some people donating thousands or tens of thousands of taels. The amount is different on the surface, but in fact it is about the same."
