Chapter 648 Is it too late to regret now?
Emperor Hong De looked down at the list in his hand and spoke slowly: "We want to build a nunnery in Yunxiang Mountain...
First, the site had to be chosen, then materials had to be prepared, suitable craftsmen had to be arranged, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had to choose an auspicious day to start construction...
This matter...otherwise, let's hand it over to the Ministry of Industry!
Anyway...the Ministry of Construction doesn't have any urgent construction projects recently, so it's a good time to arrange this."
emperor!
Living ancestor!
You're not really going to do that, are you?
No!
No!
In the Golden Palace, silent wailing began again...
The officials whose daughters went to the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain secretly exchanged glances with each other and waged eye contact.
Emperor Hongde had no time to pay attention to the disputes among his court officials.
After a moment, Emperor Hongde frowned and pondered, "To build a nunnery, we first need a large sum of money.
However, the memorial just submitted by Prince Yi on behalf of the Ministry of Revenue said that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the celestial phenomena and estimated, based on the climate conditions this autumn, that there will be ice and snow disasters after the winter.
The imperial court needed to prepare enough silver, money, grain and rice in advance to deal with possible disasters caused by extreme weather.
However, the Ministry of Revenue did not have sufficient funds.
There are still small-scale wars on the border from time to time.
After winter, the barbarians who are short of food may also cause greater riots in order to grab food...
For all of these...some preparation is needed.
The army must also have sufficient food and military pay.
If we take more money from the Ministry of Revenue to build the nunnery...
If a natural disaster really occurs after winter... it will be even worse for our Jingyue Country...!
No, this matter... I still need to think about it again... think about it again..."
The court officials couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Yes, Your Majesty, please think about it again!
Think about it!
The nunnery really cannot be built!
"correct!
I figured it out!
I have thought of a way that doesn't require using the Ministry of Finance's money!"
Before these court officials could calm down their hearts and livers, which they had been carrying for a long time, Emperor Hong De's next words... messed up their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs and kidneys again.
Especially the heart... it hurts!
It hurts so much!
"I thought about it. Since those devout female believers sincerely worship Buddha and Bodhisattva, they must have brought a large amount of money to the mountain.
Moreover, with their weak and frail nature, they were able to climb up the high Yunxiang Mountain overnight and enter the Qingguo Temple to worship Buddha and burn incense early in the morning, which was enough to show how sincere their intentions were!
Just based on the sincerity of them and their families...
They and their families donated a sum of money to build a nunnery on Yunxiang Mountain...
So that they can worship Buddha and practice Buddhism on Yunxiang Mountain...
I guess... I guess it's possible.
This also proves their devoutness in respecting Buddha and Bodhisattva.
The more you donate, the more sincere your intention is, isn’t it?
My dear ministers, do you think this is the truth? "
what?
Not only did they have to sacrifice their most outstanding daughter to become a nun, but they also had to pay for it themselves...
Spend a large sum of money to build a nunnery!
Who are they provoking?
No, that's not right, they are recruiting the emperor!
Provoked the Emperor!
At this point, if these court officials don’t understand what is going on, they are all idiots.
Yesterday, they all submitted petitions in the palace, requesting the Emperor to cancel the engagement between Leng Rongyue and His Royal Highness Prince Yu;
Annul the imperial decree granting marriage;
Choose a new wife for His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
They submitted memorials one after another, but the emperor had the same expression from beginning to end.
He didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Until the court was dismissed, the emperor did not say a word.
And today, the emperor directly took out a list;
A nunnery was to be built directly on Yunxiang Mountain;
Moreover, the money to build the nunnery had to be paid by these ministers who had sent their daughters to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain.
The emperor was always smiling as he thought about building a nunnery.
However, the ministers in the palace clearly felt that...
The Emperor... is smiling... but he is angry!
How could they have forgotten?
What their emperor hates most is being plotted against.
Back then, some ministers in the court were keeping a close eye on the emperor’s harem, and were determined to send their daughters into the harem to win favor and seek benefits for their families.
Some ministers even threatened to commit suicide under the pretext of continuing the country's prosperity and expanding the royal family.
But the result?
The emperor immediately sent someone to buy the cheapest thin-skin coffin and placed it in the center of the hall.
Just one sentence: "Whoever wants to die, go ahead and die with me!"
Look, until today, there is still only the Queen Mother in the Emperor's harem.
Now, they can’t calculate the emperor’s harem;
Nor did he take into account the prince's eastern palace;
He also set his sights on His Royal Highness Prince Yu who had just returned to the court.
They sent their daughters to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain at this time. Aren’t they eyeing the noble position of Princess Consort of Prince Yu?
If you don't plot against the emperor, then you should plot against the emperor's son?
Can the emperor be happy?
How can you not be angry?
Only now did they realize that they were wrong.
Their emperor was still not someone they could plot against or force.
Likewise, the emperor's son is the same -
This is true for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, Prince Yu.
Otherwise, His Royal Highness Prince Yu would not have returned to Beijing and the palace overnight.
You sent your daughter over there, but people avoided her as if she were the plague.
This... this is simply a slap in their face, it hurts so much.
Not only that, the emperor also directly ordered the construction of a nunnery on Yunxiang Mountain.
Aren't you all running to Yunxiang Mountain in the name of worshipping Buddha but actually plotting against my son?
OK!
Then let all your daughters shave their heads and become nuns, and stay on Yunxiang Mountain forever.
The emperor’s move is cruel enough.
However, what is even more cruel is that they have to pay for the construction of the nunnery themselves!
This is a knife that draws blood, and then a handful of salt is sprinkled on the wound!
Can they say they regret it?
Is it too late to regret now?
