The powerful prince and princess who dotes on the world is pregnant again

Rong Xiu entered the palace at that time. In Chaoyang Hall, Emperor Ren was discussing with ministers how to solve the problem of this year's cold winter.

"Everyone, please go back and think about it and take some practical actions." Emperor Ren said majestically.

The ministers filed out, all of them looking bad.

This does not include Prime Minister Xia Rende.

He seems to be just someone who comes in to make soy sauce.

He had already applied to Emperor Ren to resign sweetly. Emperor Ren wanted to agree, but when someone unexpectedly took his place, he suppressed the application.

Emperor Ren said to him, "You are idle anyway, so just occupy this position. When I find a suitable person to replace you, it will not be too late for you to leave."

Xia Rende had no choice but to accept it, so if he wanted to go to court, he would go to court. If he didn't want to go to court, he would write a note asking for leave.

When everyone saw King Xiu waiting outside, they bowed and left.

When King Xiu entered, Emperor Ren held his head with one hand and looked gloomy.

"What are you doing here?" Emperor Ren was not angry.

There are too few people in the government who can do anything.

I didn't feel that when Duke Ding was in power before, but now that Duke Ding is suppressed, I feel that many things and love are very difficult to handle.

Didn't these people have difficulties before?

"Father, I just received a letter from master,"

Rendi raised his head, "Oh, what did General Jin say?"

"The soldiers at the border don't have enough food and clothing. In previous years, it wasn't as cold as this year, and everyone could still bear it. But this year is different. The soldiers can't stand it, and there's not enough food."

"There is the same amount of food as in previous years, how can it not be enough?" Emperor Ren asked,

"The soldiers are all young men. The colder it is, the more they eat. Only by eating more can they resist the cold."

After Rong Xiu finished speaking, his expression was very bad, and the atmosphere in the palace was also very heavy.

There are 30 soldiers at the border, and the necessary weight is so huge.

Why do you think it’s so difficult for Rendi to handle this year?

"Let's discuss this matter in the court tomorrow. The treasury is really running out of money." Emperor Ren said helplessly.

How could Rong Xiu not understand?

But the problem is still being solved,

Although the Yan Chi Kingdom has always maintained a neutral attitude, the Western Zhou Dynasty has always been watching with eager eyes. It has only been less than a year since the truce. If it were not for the civil strife in the Western Zhou Kingdom, the ambition of the Western Zhou prince would have started a war long ago. .

If we let them know that our soldiers do not have enough food and clothing, it is tantamount to giving them an opportunity.

In the court hall the next day, Emperor Ren told the matter and asked everyone to discuss how to solve it.

The first person to speak was Master Zheng. He said that he would first use the treasury to subsidize the soldiers at the border.

But Mr. Kang disagreed. If they all went to replace the soldiers, what would the people of Li who were affected by the disaster do?

Some people stood up and agreed with Master Kang's point of view, saying that since there is no war now, it is okay to eat less.

Rong Xiu clenched his fists. These people could stand and talk without pain in their backs. They had never been in the border area and had no idea how difficult life was in the border area. The border area is desolate, with no green mountains and green waters all year round.

King Fu stood up and said, "Father, the soldiers have defended our territory for Yuerong and contributed to our government for many years. They should be treated kindly. We cannot let the soldiers' hearts go cold."

Emperor Ren watched everyone express their opinions with deep eyes.

"The Ministry of Revenue came out to speak and told them how much food we still have left in the treasury,"

Shangshu of Hube stood up and told the figures that he had already memorized in his mind, and then looked at everyone's disbelief.

"How is it possible?" Master Zheng asked first.

"How is it impossible? The war between Yuerong and the Western Zhou Dynasty has only been truce for less than a year. We are already in a state of deficit. It has only been so long and we haven't collected all the taxes before we are hit by the cold." Someone said coolly.

The sound came from behind the crowd,

Everyone turned around and looked, only to find that the person speaking was Prime Minister Xia Rende. What did this guy mean? Why was he so crazy today, and he was talking.

"The Prime Minister came forward to speak," Emperor Ren said.

Xia Rende made a mistake.

Reluctantly, he stepped forward and saluted Emperor Ren.

"What do you think, Prime Minister?" Emperor Ren asked.

Xia Rende looked at everyone's expressions, and it took him a long time to say two words: "Collect donations."

As soon as these two words came out, Emperor Ren's expression became much more relaxed.

Among the ministers, everyone has different expressions.

"I donate 10 taels," Xia Rende said.

Hiss... someone gasped.

Master Zheng immediately followed, "I also donate 10 taels."

Hiss... someone gasped again.

These two people are both first- and second-grade officials, yet they donated so much.

What will happen to those below the second level?

Zheng Qiang endured the pain and said, "I will also donate 8 taels."

After saying that, I started to gasp. Where can I get 8 taels?

Emperor Ren's expression became more and more relaxed,

"It seems that everyone is united, and I won't force it. Let everyone do what they can to the best of their ability. They are all contributing to the country. We can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but we can send warmth to the soldiers who are killing the enemy. This is What an honor and privilege.”

One after another, people reported their numbers, and Eunuch Laifu took out his notebook and recorded them quickly, fearing that he would miss any ministers, so he just remembered as many as he said.

And those who didn't want to donate had to grit their teeth and report the donation after seeing Father Laifu's actions.

For example, Fang Zhong, who bears the title of Duke Dingguo, must not be lower than others. He reported 15 taels.

Concubine Li from the harem heard the news and came over immediately.

"Your Majesty, I also want to make a contribution to the soldiers of our court,"

Rendi became interested, "Oh, Li Fei, do you want to donate too?"

"Yes, my concubine has been able to live such a stable life in the harem for so many years without worrying about food or clothing. It is all the credit of the border officers and soldiers."

"I am willing to donate all my belongings to the soldiers at the border,"

Emperor Ren laughed heartily, "Haha, good, she is indeed my beloved concubine."

For the next three days, Emperor Ren was in Huaxiang Palace.

What is there to understand? If you donate a lot, Emperor Ren will like you.

Both talented people brought money from their parents' homes and presented it to Emperor Ren.

The benevolent emperors all favored them one by one.

Concubine Jing also expressed that Emperor Ren was embarrassed to accept the money.

"Cheng'er is living a good life in Prince Xiu's Mansion, so don't worry too much," Emperor Ren comforted Concubine Jing.

"I know, I just miss you."

"If you think about it, go out of the palace to see more. I will give you the privilege."

Concubine Jing was very touched, he was indeed the man she fell in love with.

Emperor Ren looked at Concubine Jing with deep eyes. Concubine Jing was beautiful. Even after so many years, her skin was still smooth and white.

"If you really want to thank me, just help me have another son,"

A charming room...

Rong Xiu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, holding a pot of wine in his hand.

He came to thank his father-in-law for his help.
