Chapter 652: Some Things Need to be Considered Long-term
Upon hearing Emperor Hongde's question, the imperial official Zhu Xun hurriedly stood up to answer.
"Your Majesty, I have already made note of it!"
"Okay, my dear, you must remember everything from cause to effect.
This donation will be recorded in the history of our Jingyue country.
Right and wrong, merits and demerits are always left for future generations to judge, isn't it?"
Emperor Hong De looked meaningfully at the officials kneeling in front of him.
After hearing what Emperor Hong De said, these officials were filled with bitterness.
Merits and demerits... will be judged by future generations...
How could they not understand what the emperor meant?
If they really donated this money for the sake of Jingyue Kingdom, the imperial court, and the people's livelihood, then they will have made great contributions to the present and future generations!
Now, they are willing to donate such a large sum of money... and why... everyone knows it.
It was because they and their daughter were eyeing the position of the honorable Princess of Prince Yu;
The plot was directed at Prince Yu, Xiao Jingyu.
As a result... the plan failed and also angered the current emperor and Prince Yu Xiao Jingyu.
The purpose of donating this money is to cover up one's shame and to curry favor with others.
It is nothing more than making up for one's mistakes with good deeds and offsetting one's mistakes.
In short, spending this money was both frustrating and embarrassing!
"Where is the Minister of Revenue?"
Emperor Hong De spoke seriously.
"Chen is here!"
The Minister of Revenue Jian Chengye came out to pay his respects.
"Sir Jane, please take the list of donors and the amount of donations copied by the imperial edict officer so that you can check the donations.
When the time comes, please thank me on my behalf, and don't let down your patriotic hearts!
Also, every time you receive money from a donor, you must remind them:
Don’t forget to go to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain to bring back your daughter!
We also need to remind them not to forget to bring incense money to offer to the Buddha in Qingguo Temple...
Of course, the amount of money you offer depends on your sincerity, so I won’t interfere!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will remember this!"
The Minister of Revenue Jian Chengye bowed in response.
Emperor Hongde said that he was instructing the Minister of Revenue Jian Chengye, but in fact, it was clearly said to them.
The meaning is nothing more than:
Whoever pays the amount of money pledged can go to the Qingguo Temple on Yunxiang Mountain to take his daughter back;
Otherwise... hehe...
At the same time, the emperor also squeezed out a considerable amount of incense money for the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain!
Anyone who dares not offer a decent sum of money is disrespectful to the Buddha and the emperor!
Anyone who has a daughter who has gone to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain should... just do as you see fit!
Seeing that the Minister of Revenue Jian Chengye had already returned to the literary class and stood still, Emperor Hongde seemed to have just discovered that a group of officials were still kneeling, so he said: "My dear ministers, why are you still kneeling?
"Everyone, stand up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
A group of officials stood up with bitter expressions on their faces, not daring to rub their sore knees with their hands, and returned to the class while enduring the pain.
Emperor Hong De turned his head and glanced at Feng Guang.
Feng Guang understood, took a step forward, flicked his whisk, and shouted: "If you have a letter, please report early. If you don't, please leave!"
The ministers in the palace looked at each other...
Have a morning play?
What else is there to play?
If I can leave the court safely, I will chant Amitabha!
Feng Guang waited for a few moments, and seeing that no one spoke, he shouted, "Dismiss the court!"
All the ministers in the palace bowed to Emperor Hongde and said, "Your Majesty, we respectfully send you off!"
"waived!"
Emperor Hongde stood up, flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked down the dragon platform, out of the back hall, and went to the imperial study.
When Emperor Hongde could no longer be seen, the ministers began to walk out of the Golden Palace.
In the past, after the court session, the ministers would talk in groups of three or five as they walked;
Even some small talk.
Now, some officials are still waiting for them to get the money because their daughters are still in the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain...
Oh no, it’s about donating money to get it back.
At this moment, they were only filled with regret;
Plus, when I think about... having to pay a large sum of money out of nowhere, I can't help but feel heartbroken.
In this situation, no one wanted to say anything more about the older brother or the younger brother.
They all walked quickly out of the palace with their heads down.
They also had to hurry home to raise money.
If you lose a penny, it will be a big deal!
Those court officials who were not involved in this matter were relieved and felt very fortunate.
However, at times like this, they should not gather together and talk about anything, lest someone thinks that they are talking about others behind their backs and making fun of them.
So, those who wanted to go back to the yamen went back to the yamen, and those who wanted to go back to the mansion went back to the mansion.
The courtiers soon dispersed.
Prince Yi Xiao Jingyi wanted to stop his cousin Xiao Jingyu and say something...
However, Xiao Jingyu walked even faster and had no intention of staying for even a moment longer.
Xiao Jingyu walked out of the palace quickly.
Outside the palace gate, Xiao Jingyu's four personal guards were waiting there.
Xiao Jingyu took his horse directly and jumped on it.
The group rode away on horseback and returned to Prince Yu's palace.
Xiao Jingyi knew that his cousin had always been aloof and arrogant.
When he doesn't want to talk, you can't ask him a single word.
Even if I chase him to Prince Yu's mansion now, even if I am not stopped outside the mansion, I will not hear a word that I want to hear.
In the end you'll only end up making yourself look bad, so why bother?
Xiao Jingyi's eyes darkened, he turned around, got on his carriage, and returned to his Prince Yi's Palace.
Some things... still need to be considered in the long run.
