There are only 100,000 taels of silver in the national treasury account now. If all of it is used for disaster relief, then if the country needs silver urgently, wouldn’t it be a problem? 】

[Guagua, is the imperial court so poor?

I estimate that some ministers’ houses are richer than the national treasury. 】

[Host, your guess is really good. Among the group of people standing below, is there a big fat sheep?

With their wealth, not to mention solving the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, even supporting an army of 300,000 for 30 years is not a problem. 】

Originally the emperor was still worried about money, but when he suddenly heard Song Yaoyao's voice, he immediately pricked up his ears. He wanted to know who this fat sheep was?

The ministers below, who were open-minded, suddenly became excited, as it seemed that there was something big to eat.

Those who had something to hide were frightened and broke out in cold sweats, praying silently in their hearts that Master Xiao Song would not expose their secrets.

The conversation continues:

[Guagua, are you telling the truth?

Are you really that rich?

Tell me, who is that person? 】

[Okay, host.]

The fattest sheep is the second-rank great general Xuanyuan Ce. 】

Song Yaoyao exclaimed:

[What? This fat sheep is actually a military commander.]

At this moment, everyone turned their eyes to Xuanyuan Ce.

No one expected that Xuanyuan Ce would be so rich.

When those ministers who had something to hide heard Xuanyuan Ce's name, they suddenly relaxed. They just hoped it wasn't them. They were really scared to death.

When Xuanyuan Ce heard his name, his body stiffened noticeably. His affairs were very secretive and no one should know about them.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Ce still held on to a glimmer of hope!

When the emperor heard Xuanyuan Ce's name, he was obviously stunned. He never thought that this fat sheep would be Xuanyuan Ce.

Guagua's story continues:

[Yes, no one would have thought that in the Tianfeng Dynasty, the richest official was a military general.

This has to start with Xuanyuan Ce's background.

Xuanyuan Ce, formerly known as Sikong Ce. 】

When the court officials heard this surname, their faces changed drastically. Sikong was the national surname of the previous dynasty!

The general standing behind Xuanyuan Ce took a step forward and pressed his acupoints before Xuanyuan Ce could react.

Xuanyuan Ce was completely unable to move or speak.

Xuanyuan Ce is a military general with superb martial arts skills. What if he gets angry and starts killing people in the hall?

Fortunately, someone was smart and pressed his acupoints when he was not paying attention.

The emperor waved his hand, and the officials standing around Xuanyuan Ce were quickly replaced by several military generals, who completely surrounded him from eight directions.

Song Yaoyao was so immersed in eating melon that she was completely unaware of the tense situation in the court.

Song Yaoyao continued to ask:

[Guagua, I remember Sikong, it seemed to be the surname of the emperor in the previous dynasty.

Could this Xuanyuan Ce be a remnant of the previous dynasty? 】

[Host, you guessed right.]

Xuanyuan Ce, no, it should be called Sikong Ce.

He is the son of the former emperor Sikong Jing and his most beloved woman Zhongli Xue, who is the concubine's daughter of a seventh-rank official.

Zhongli Xue's status and position were too low. Sikong Jing was afraid that after she entered the palace, she would be eaten up by the women in the palace, so he kept her outside.

Sikong Jing would find reasons to leave the palace every month to have secret meetings with Zhongli Xue, and that’s how they had Sikong Ce.

Although Sikong Jing was a mediocre person, he was really good to Zhongli Xue and her son. He even planned to get rid of those women in the harem and find a suitable opportunity to bring them into the palace.

However, things did not go as planned. After a while, Sikong Jing realized something was wrong and ordered people to secretly transport all the treasures in the treasury out of the palace and hide them in the mountains. He also drew a treasure map.
