Chapter 717 Large Donation Site
Seeing that Chuchu was right this time, the man nodded with satisfaction.
"Um."
But Qin Chuchu was not calm. She snatched the letter from the man's hand and read it carefully again.
Since my scumbag father wanted to tell me that it was dangerous to go back, why did he send me this letter?
Looking at Chuchu's puzzled expression, I knew what she was thinking.
"I think Prime Minister Qin must have had no choice."
As Prime Minister Qin is the prime minister of a country, the only one who can force him to write this letter is Han Mulei.
It was just a little surprising that they actually pointed the finger at Chu Chu.
I think Han Mulei must have passed the news to Chuxiong.
Now it seems that Chuchu has caught their eyes, so I'm afraid they will have to protect her more carefully in the future.
Although Qin Chuchu didn't know what the man was thinking, she could guess roughly what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, are you saying that they are going to attack me?"
The scumbag dad is Han Mulei's lackey, so I think this letter was written by Han Mulei.
It was obvious that they were coming for him.
If I really go back, it will definitely not get better.
Looking at the wild geese drawn on the paper, I feel a little comforted.
Fortunately, that scumbag father has some conscience!
Just by looking at this big bird, you can tell that the original owner's scumbag father is not completely cruel and still has some conscience.
Even the man thought so, and thought that Prime Minister Qin had given up on Chu Chu.
After all, it was he who forced Chuchu to come to him when he was exiled. Now looking at the wild geese on the letter, it seems that he still has some father-daughter feelings for Chuchu.
This is indeed the case. Prime Minister Qin has been feeling uneasy since he wrote this letter.
Although he didn't like his eldest daughter, she was his daughter after all, and his wife had promised her before she died that she would take good care of her.
It's just that this daughter is too disobedient, willful and rude, so he has always ignored her.
So he listened to Diao's words and forced her to be given to King Chen.
In fact, he had already regretted it on the day his daughter got married, but since it was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed, he just accepted it.
I thought she would not be able to survive to the Far North as long as she was with Han Muchen, but I never expected that she would actually survive.
Not only that, she seems to have a good relationship with King Chen, and King Chen is currently in the limelight.
In addition, there is also a Concubine Jing in the palace, and I am afraid that the Second Prince’s great cause will be in jeopardy.
What's more, the Second Prince is becoming less and less trusting of me, so there is no need to put all my hopes on one person.
Only then did I think of sending a message to my eldest daughter. If she could escape this disaster, maybe I could still need her help in the future.
Deep down, I still hoped that she wouldn't come back, but my hope was dashed again.
Two days after the letter was sent, a reply was received. After learning that Qin Chuchu was coming back, Prime Minister Qin felt very upset.
At the same time, the emperor also received the letter. He saw the memorial sent by General Cheng early in the morning before he had breakfast.
After seeing the content, he became furious and went to the court without even having breakfast.
He was furious at all the ministers, and frightened them so much that they shrank their necks and dared not look up.
"In broad daylight, they blatantly robbed and looted, and even dared to murder the heir to the throne. They truly have no law!"
The emperor became angrier and angrier as he spoke, his chest heaving with anger.
The prince was robbed and killed in his own fiefdom. You can imagine how rampant those people were.
What’s even more hateful is that they actually attacked unarmed civilians. They have completely lost their conscience.
Seeing that the emperor was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, Marquis Yongning glanced at the uneasy Second Prince beside him and took a step forward.
"Your Majesty is right. I will go there and get to the bottom of this matter. If I don't find out the reason, I will not return to the capital!"
Looking at the solemn oath of Marquis Yongning, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
This old guy usually backs off when faced with problems, but today he really shows off his abilities.
Since he said so, let's give this task to him. We can't keep this bunch of useless people for nothing.
"In that case, let the matter be handled by the Marquis of Yongning."
"I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust!"
Marquis Yongning bowed to the emperor again, with a resolute look on his face, looking like a meticulous and honest official.
Only he knew everything clearly. Seeing the emperor so angry, he wondered what would happen if someone else was sent to investigate the matter.
I think it won’t be long before the investigation leads to the second prince, and it will be difficult for him to escape the blame then.
It would be better for him to take on this task himself and find a reason to settle the matter, so that the second prince will not be implicated.
Seeing that his uncle had taken on the matter, Han Mulei breathed a sigh of relief.
I never expected that General Cheng would also go to Qingzhou Prefecture and happen to happen to do this.
If he hadn't submitted this memorial, I wouldn't have had all these troubles.
Looking at them, who looked like eggplants hit by frost, the emperor was filled with anger.
But he suppressed his displeasure and said patiently:
"Now that the flood is so severe, I wonder what your opinions are?"
In recent days, there have been continuous reports of floods in various places. Except for Qingzhou Prefecture, which has not suffered any disasters, almost the entire Dayu Kingdom has suffered from the disaster.
I couldn't sleep for several nights because of this. I thought I could discuss a solution with everyone, but now when I see everyone hanging their heads, I feel disappointed.
“………………”Everyone.
Everyone lowered their heads and looked at the people around them. Now every place has suffered from disasters and the national treasury is empty.
Judging from the situation, I'm afraid we'll have to donate money again.
They actually guessed it right. This was exactly what the emperor thought. Now the national treasury was empty, and the amount of disaster relief money that could be distributed to various places was really limited.
Knowing that they all have a lot of private property, now we can only focus on them.
He glanced at where Grand Tutor Sun and General Cheng were standing and couldn't help but feel angry.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let them go. Otherwise, there wouldn't be no one cooperating with me now.
His eyes scanned the crowd and immediately fixed on Lord Li, the Minister of Revenue.
Receiving the emperor's gaze, Lord Li cooperated and hurriedly stepped forward, bowing to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the treasury is now empty and the people are in urgent need of disaster relief funds. I think we should hold a donation campaign across the country.
I am a humble official with limited resources, but I am willing to donate 50,000 taels of silver."
"Well, my dear, I am very pleased with your action."
The emperor stroked his beard with satisfaction and looked at Lord Li with approval.
I'm pretty good at it, even though it's a little less, but it's better than nothing.
“………………”The ministers looked at each other.
Everyone looks at each other, what's there to not understand?
Although it hurt, they all stepped forward to express their opinions.
For a time, the court became a large donation site, but no one donated much, basically 50,000 taels of silver.
The emperor's brow relaxed a little. Although the amount of donations was small, the number of people who donated was large.
There were forty or fifty people in the court, and the total donation amounted to several million taels, which could at least help alleviate the urgent need.
