On the morning of the next morning, Chen Yong, Pei Yu, Ou Yu, and Wang Yue entered the Meridian Gate together. After entering the palace, they first stood in the south of Jinshui Bridge, according to the order of ranks, waiting for the sound of firecrackers to be set off. Then everyone crossed the bridge in sequence, went to the Danmu of Fengtian Palace, Wendong and Wuxi, and stood facing each other on both sides of the imperial road.

On the Fengtian Hall, there is an imperial throne in the middle of the corridor, which is called "Jintai". The bells and drums on the left and right of Danbi are set up music, and the "Han Generals" are arranged between the doors of the palace, all wearing bright iron armor. The imperial road and the civil and military officials, behind them, there are lieutenants holding swords and placing their formations, which are very majestic.

When the drum music started, the little emperor entered Fengtian Hall from outside the Imperial Gate. The strong men in the Jinyiwei opened the yellow umbrella cover and the four handles of the dragon fan. After the east and west, they were divided into two people in the left and right. One held the umbrella cover and the other stood on the seat, and the other held two fans stood on the seat in the middle.

After the little emperor settled down, he roared firecrackers and the Minister of the Honglu Temple Cun Yu "sang to the class". The left and right squads entered the imperial road together and then arranged the shifts. At this time, the civil servants headed north to west, and the military officers headed north to east, performing a ceremony of bowing and three bowings, which is the ceremony of "big class".

After the ceremony was finished, Cun Yu expressed his gratitude to the little emperor on the imperial throne. This time, the little emperor held a donation ceremony, so naturally all officials would come to see the ceremony in order. The little emperor asked the donation ceremony to be set before the "report" to see what the civil and military officials in the court were about this war. The little emperor also wanted to know if everyone was optimistic about it.

The ministers had already been angry, and the donation ceremony officially began. The first thing was for three prime ministers, Li Dongyang, the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace. The other two prime ministers were shot by the court and could not come. Li Dongyang came to the little emperor, knelt down and kowtowed, and then the donated money was fifty taels of silver.

Then, for Xie Qian and Liu Jian, the two prime ministers, donated fifty taels of silver each. Then the officials came to donate in turn... It is obvious that everyone has decided how much the donation has been made. The most donated was the fifty taels of silver each of the three prime ministers, and the least one donated only one tael!

It is obvious that they are decreasing in turn according to the salary, and they are fully calculated. At the end of the donation ceremony, it is not counted for donations from Chen Yong, Wang Yue, Pei Yu and Ou Censor. The total donation of civil and military officials in the court is only a mere 3,126 taels! This money makes the little emperor feel so depressed...

Li Dongyang saw that the little emperor's face looked very ugly, and he knew it was not good. However, the amount of donations was the result of everyone's conspiracy, and he was not convenient to donate more without authorization. Just when Chen Yong and the other four were about to donate, Li Dongyang once again stepped out and knelt in front of the little emperor!

I heard Li Dongyang say, "Long live my emperor, I have a confidant. I heard from me that I want to send troops to rescue the people of Liaodong from the fire and water. This represents her "Yulanyuan" and donate 5,000 taels of silver to Your Majesty! Please accept it as military expenses, promote our country's power, and make unparalleled achievements!"

The little emperor took the 5,000 taels of silver bill handed over by Li Dongyang, and his face finally looked a little better. The little emperor knew that Li Dongyang had come up with this bad plan when he saw his face ugly. According to normal circumstances, he shouldn't have come forward to donate the money at this time.

The little emperor is still very grateful to Li Dongyang. As the chief minister, it is already rare to be able to do this for me. This donation from outsiders alone has exceeded the total donation of civil and military donations in the court. How could the little emperor not feel disheartened? The little emperor waved his hand to order Li Dongyang to retreat.

Li Dongyang had three silver notes in his hand, and the five thousand taels he took out were the least one in his hand. There was no way, the civil and military officials of the court donated more than 3,000 silver patterns together, which was obviously slapping the little emperor in the face. If he took out all the twenty thousand taels of silver, then wouldn’t he be eaten alive by the civil and military officials of the court?

Why is there so little donation this time? Naturally, it is the result of these smart civil servants' calculations. They don't want to make donations a way for the little emperor to raise money every time they go to war with the outside world. So only if the donation is too small and the little emperor cannot see it, there will be no next fundraising activity. No matter how small ant is, it is still meat? No one cares about too much money and biting his hands!

Chen Yong looked at the scene and couldn't help but feel angry! What did these civil and military generals in the court regard the little emperor as? Is this really an attitude towards the king? Since that's the case, don't blame me for slapping it in the face!

After Li Dongyang donated money, Chen Yong finally walked out of the crowd. Chen Yong walked to the little emperor, knelt down on the ground, saluted respectfully, and took out three silver notes of ten thousand taels from his arms and handed them to the little emperor.

Chen Yong said: "My de Magistrate Ou, Pei Yu and himself donated 30,000 taels of silver! I wish Your Majesty a victory in Liaodong and a success! I believe that under the leadership of Your Majesty, Au Censor Ou will be the commander and will be able to promote the prestige of China, defeat the Tatars and Jurchen coalition!"

The little emperor applauded! He got up and took the 30,000 taels of silver handed over by Chen Yong. He became more and more satisfied with the young scholar. What he needs now is recognition. The civil and military officials in the court have always regarded themselves as children, and those civil officials even hope that the best result is to be controlled by them in the affairs of the government.

But what I want is real recognition, not being perfunctory. It seems like I am respecting myself, but in fact I am not ready to let myself manage the world too much. Who in the world is in charge now? Am I a dignified emperor? I don’t even have autonomy, is this the result these court officials hope to see?

This is why the little emperor insisted on going to Liaodong and participating in this war! The battle with the Tatars and Jurchens was not the key. What he expressed was that I want to become a great hero like Taizu and Chengzu, and I also have the determination to kill!

The tricks of you civil and military officials are not that I don’t know, but that I don’t want to really tear the face! If it’s too much, I can still have the means to take down all of you and punish all officials!

The little emperor stepped forward to receive the 30,000 taels of silver handed over by Chen Yong and said, "Lin Aiqing, I believe that you will be able to experience military achievements during this trip to Liaodong. At that time, I will reward you and make you a true wise minister! We can protect this wonderful country with me!"

Chen Yong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying to the little emperor: "Thank you for your kindness! My minister Lin Pingzhi must live up to the holy hope, drive the Tatars and Jurchen coalition out of Liaodong, defend the territory, and make unparalleled contributions!"

The little emperor shouted: "This is my good subject! With you, my country can last forever and last forever!"

Chen Yong thanked him for his gratitude and hurriedly returned to the court officials' ranks. All the civil and military officials in the court knew the family background of the Censor Ou, and it was obvious that the 30,000 taels of silver must have been paid by Chen Yong personally.

Everyone thought to themselves: "This scholar Lin Pingzhi of Fuzhou is really hard to do. Did he think he could have an official by donating 30,000 taels of silver? What's the use of the little emperor admiring you? He offended all the civil and military officials in the court, and you still want to be an official in the court? Go dreaming!"

While everyone was thinking about how to deal with Chen Yong, Wang Yue had already walked out of the queue and knelt in front of the Longshu case. Wang Yue could only hear Wang Yue say to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, the criminal knows that you are worried about the silver crimes that sent troops to attack Liaodong. I, Wang Yue, said yesterday that we should donate all our property to help Your Majesty attack Liaodong.

Yesterday, I and Lin Pingzhi counted the silver in my family together. I have exchanged all the silver for silver notes. There are more than 11 million silver here, all of which are my savings over the years! I know that many silver is not so clean, but I donated it to His Majesty to do serious business, and the money is also used as the right way!

Today I have brought all the money and house land deeds. Please collect it! The money and grain are used as military pay. This house land deed is used as a reward for the generals who bravely fight the enemy during this trip to Liaodong!

The old minister has no selflessness in his life, and money and houses are of no use to me. I am willing to lead the way for His Majesty and drive all the Tatars and Jurchens out of the country! If necessary, I am willing to act like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, 'Those who offend me China will be punished even if they are far away!"

Wang Yue's image at this moment suddenly became much taller. At least Yu Shishi Ou, Pei Yu, and Chen Yong all looked at him with admiration. Li Dongyang, including Li Dongyang, stared at Wang Yue intently, and they didn't believe their eyes...

When the little emperor heard Wang Yue say more than 11 million taels of silver, he immediately petrified and was stunned! No one of the civil and military officials present believed that this was true! The key is that Wang Yue and Chen Yong went to investigate together. Can they hand over all their money? Isn’t this a fool?

The little emperor took the silver notes and property deeds handed over by Wang Yue. After a rough look, he believed that all this was true! With more than ten million taels of silver, he really had the confidence to send troops to Liaodong! Before the army and horses moved, food and grass would go first! Everyone knows this principle!

But the treasury is empty, not a day or two. If you want to solve the financial crisis, you really have no way to do this. Who told me that what I have learned is the way to govern the country and ensure national stability? There is no compulsory course for emperors of all dynasties!

After the morning court, I specially summoned some ministers to come in the evening to find out how many ten thousand taels of silver the treasury could be used when sending troops to Liaodong this time! But after calculation, it can be evenly distributed at most 20,000 taels. Other money is useful. As long as it is misappropriated, more problems will arise, which is something I don’t want to see...

The 200,000 army he appointed wanted to travel through mountains and rivers to Liaodong. The supporting people and people transporting food and grass were not 200,000 people in total, and they could not afford the supplies of this army at all!

And all this requires money to be used as a base! In other words, the court cannot afford the expenses of a 200,000 army! It can only dispatch 20,000 troops! And 20,000 troops is simply a drop in the bucket. This is the most troublesome problem for the little emperor today.

That is to say, if you want to dispatch an army of 200,000, you must have at least one million silver to achieve it. If the battle situation becomes more intense, you will only need more silver! That is to say, the treasury is not money now, and I can't afford to fight this war at all!

That is why the civil and military officials in the court today are ineffective and donated a small amount of money! When the little emperor saw that the civil and military officials in the court only donated more than 3,000 taels of silver, he could only smile bitterly. Don’t say whether he wanted to go to Liaodong or not, he had no military pay at all! How can he let the army run away?

Today, seeing Wang Yue donate so much silver, the person the little emperor is most grateful to is Chen Yong. With his help, even a person like Wang Yue who treats money as his life can make such a big change. His trip to Liaodong will definitely be successful!

The little emperor knew that it was impossible for all the civil and military officials in the court to agree to leave the palace, so he had already thought about it and wanted to do the golden plan to escape! He was going to find someone to pretend to be himself and say that he wanted to change his mind in the imperial city and pray for the official army traveling to Liaodong!

I have to fast for a hundred days in the palace, and the government and power will give way to all civil and military officials! I believe that no one will find fault if they do this! Don’t you want me to interfere in the affairs of the court? How can I let go and delegate power completely?

Three days later, the young emperor led all civil and military officials to the Martial Arts Hall early in the morning. He wanted to personally send these Han officials to fight against Liaodong, fight to the death with the Tatars and Jurchen coalition forces, and vow to repel these invading enemies even if they die!

If possible, it is best to completely annihilate the invading enemies. In a war, they will be completely defeated and crippled. In this way, no matter whether it is the Tatar or the Jurchens, they will never dare to infringe on our territory again!
Chapter completed!
