Princess Consort Is No Pushover

After hearing this, Emperor Hongyuan glanced at Chu Xuanchen, and said, "King Li, because the treasury is empty, I will allocate 200,000 taels of silver from the treasury for this disaster relief. As for the remaining money, I have to plan it out among the people. As the imperial envoy, you will be responsible for raising the money. As for the virtuous king, he will be responsible for other important tasks."

Su Ming also said: "That's right, His Highness Li Wang can work hard, I see this matter of fundraising, I can leave it to His Highness Li Wang to handle it."

Chu Xuanchen curled his lips coldly, Hongyuan Emperor, this old fox is really stingy, he is only willing to pay 200,000 taels, and leave the rest of the problems to him.

It's not easy to raise 1.8 million taels of silver!

He and Su Ming sang together, because they wanted to entrust him with the burden of raising money, and only let the virtuous king be a nominal imperial envoy, do the easiest work, and finally gain a good reputation.

But for the sake of the people, he knew it was a pit, so he had to dig in!

He raised his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take on this important task. But such a large amount of money is not easy to raise. If the Emperor is willing to give me a certain amount of power, I might be able to raise money from rich families and nobles. Otherwise It is not easy to raise 1.8 million taels!"

Emperor Hongyuan also knew that the money was difficult to raise.

As long as the flood in the south of the Yangtze River can be solved, he will let Chu Xuanchen force the rich and nobles.

Anyway, when the time comes to persecute others, Chu Xuanchen's reputation will be damaged, and he will also offend this group of nobles.

He said: "Okay, I promise you and allow you to use certain methods to raise money. But you can't force people, you must ask them to contribute money voluntarily. I will give you five days, and you must raise money within five days." Yinzi, rush to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Xuanchen cupped his hands.

At this time, the virtuous king said: "Your Majesty, the five-day period is very urgent, and it is not easy to raise 1.8 million taels of silver. During this period, I also want to help raise money, hoping to contribute to the common people. "

Emperor Hongyuan looked at King Xian with admiration, "Okay, King Xian volunteered to volunteer, I will promise you, and you can help raise money too!"

Having said that, he looked at Chu Xuanchen with cold eyes and a threatening tone, "As for King Li, since you are the official envoy of the imperial envoy, you will take on the important task of flood control and disaster relief this time. I entrust the lives of the people to you." In your hands, you must not let me down! For the sake of the people, this time the disaster relief can only succeed, not fail. Otherwise, I will take you as a question!"

Chu Xuanchen sneered, just now he was curious why Emperor Hongyuan appointed him as the imperial envoy.

It turned out that he was waiting to let him take the blame.

He thought that Emperor Hongyuan had dug a hole for him here for the sake of the people of the world.

It's okay if he succeeds in disaster relief.

Once it fails, Emperor Hongyuan will blame him for all the mistakes and let him take the blame!

The emperor had a good idea, he really thought that he, Chu Xuanchen, would be at his mercy and follow his tricks?

When the time comes, we'll see! -

After Chu Xuanchen came down to court, he told Yun Ruoyue about the emperor's appointment of him as the imperial envoy.

As soon as Yun Ruoyue heard that he was really going to rescue the disaster, she immediately said: "I will go with you when the time comes, I know some methods of controlling floods and plagues, maybe I can help you."

Chu Xuanchen looked at her distressedly, "No, you are pregnant, how can you be tired from the long journey? You stay at home obediently, and I will send someone to protect you. You just need to stay at home and wait for the delivery until I come back."

Yun Ruoyue was very firm, "No, this trip is for flood control and disaster relief, for the sake of the people of the world, I have a way to help you but I don't go, won't it be very difficult for you then?"
