MTL - I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times-Chapter 993 Have you been threatened?
Watching everyone rushing to donate money, the entire court was filled with envy and strange silence. Others looked at the few people standing in the center of the hall with cracked expressions.
They are all old men in the court, who doesn’t know who the other is?
There is obviously something fishy~
They really want to ask if these people have been threatened. If so, please blink.
They were not mentally prepared for such an outing so early in the morning.
Some timid people were led into the rhythm and donated money together before they understood what was going on.
The leader, Sinong Qing, saw half of the people donate money. They were shocked and at the same time inexplicably comforted.

Do they also feel that they are too old, confused, and not worthy of their responsibilities?
Everyone thanked him, and after the court meeting dispersed, Bai Xiaowu was admitted to the Hall of Wende by the officials.
"I would like to thank you all for your generous donation and your loyalty to the country. In this way, I asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate some more silver taels to make up one million taels, and allocate them all to the border guards to appease the morale of the troops."
Especially Prime Minister Mu, who thought his eyes were dizzy, raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes. After the shock, he glanced at the people in the front and forced himself to calm down.
“I don’t dare to take credit, so I only made a few remarks, all of which are due to the ministers themselves. As for the Mu family, it’s not surprising that there has been no movement. The old prime minister is highly virtuous and respected, so it’s not known that he may have other ideas.”
“I’m ashamed of myself. All of you have spent so generously. I spent one hundred taels of silver after I finished my calculations. I really don’t have the nerve to reward you. As long as your Majesty doesn’t laugh at me for being stingy, that’s all.”
“See Your Majesty,”
Emperor Cheng Xuan came back to his senses, leaned on his chair, temporarily forgot about the Mu family, and looked at Bai Xiaowu happily.
Look at the ones at the back, don’t they still have **** faces?
Xiao Wu saw that the emperor's expression was wrong when he mentioned the Mu family, so he could only wait aside silently. It wasn't until he walked back to the dragon table and sat down that he bowed and spoke.
"There is no need to worry, Your Majesty. Everyone is gathering firewood and the military expenses are collected. Once the money is sent, the soldiers in the northwest can spend the winter with peace of mind."
Looking at his unfazed attitude, I felt even more satisfied.
“Tell me, what reward do you want? I will grant it.”
But the Mu family was the only one who didn’t donate money, and I don’t know what the other party’s strategy was.
There are three or four names of the Mu family on the roster. The dignified prime minister, the home of Zhong Ming Ding Shi, is extremely ruthless in his private methods.
Regarding the scene in front of them, except for Xiao Wu and Ma Fuyin who knew the inside story and looked at it with a calm expression, the rest of them looked cautious.
In the entire court, the position of prime minister is the most important and must be done with caution.
Everyone in the main hall had their own concerns. Bai Xiaowu stood upright, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
Because of this, he rejected the prime minister's recommendation, which made him feel unhappy.
But one cannot be too greedy. He can sit on the seat under his **** until he is seventy years old, but he cannot keep the position of prime minister in the arms of the Mu family.
"Ai Qing will grant you a seat without any courtesy. Today's court meeting, Ai Qing really helped me a lot, and helped me pay for the military expenses of the soldiers. Ai Qing contributed a lot. But when I looked at the list, the Mu family didn't take a single word. "
At this time, everyone just wanted to leave as soon as possible, and no one envied Bai Xiaowu.
Obviously it was a meeting to discuss state affairs, but in the blink of an eye it became a charity meeting.
This credit was recorded by him.
2003: de: seven seven three e: nine six b eight: eight eight one e: two eight two b: e one cb: a one d eight
This year, the Prime Minister has been dealing with this matter, which makes him very irritable. As an emperor, he would naturally not compromise on matters related to the imperial court and the country.
After all, the four members of the Mu family were involved in the matter. If they didn't express it at all, it would be worthy of scrutiny. The Prime Minister is an old fox. Ever since he came to the throne, he has always treated the Mu family favorably, which is considered to be a thank you for his support when he first came to the throne.
Xiao Wu bowed and spoke calmly. Every one of the people on the list was bleeding. These people performed well and were able to inspire some people, which was an unexpected surprise.
During the court meeting, he saw the old man staring at everyone with a shocked expression, his expressions were dull, and his five senses had regressed due to his old age.
"That's true...Ai Qing is really a wise man. I didn't misjudge him."
“Long live my emperor.”
Among the people who came out, more than half were from the Mu clan. Seeing them rushing to donate money to the court, it was extremely arrogant to dare to hide such a big thing from him.
Must be a person of great ability to be competent. Prime Minister Mu is well-read and has far-reaching knowledge. Although the disciples he recommended are also good, with only a handful of knowledge and insights, the only thing is that he lacks practical knowledge. Most of what I learned and talked about was from books and lacked real life experience.
Emperor Cheng Xuan threw the book on the dragon table, stood up again, and walked around the hall, humming in his heart. The Mu family is spoiled and spoiled, which is a bit too arrogant.
By showing such contempt for his authority, is he usually too kind and too indulgent towards them?
Several people came into contact with the old prime minister's eyes and looked away guiltily.
Hall of Wende,
Emperor Cheng Xuan walked up and down the palace with his hands behind his back. This was the most enjoyable court meeting since he ascended the throne.
This is their private matter, and it is still controlled by the officials. If the old prime minister finds out, he will definitely not be able to help except being scolded. No matter how prestigious the old prime minister is, he cannot go against the officials.
Emperor Chengxuan was sitting on the dragon chair, watching all this, feeling particularly comfortable. He waited for the chamberlain to tally up the donation amount, which totaled 820,000 taels.
Seeing Xiao Wu walking along the corridor, Emperor Cheng Xuan quickly returned to the Dragon Case and sat down.
“As the leader of the Mu clan, the Prime Minister allowed his clan members to act as they pleased without restraining them. Perhaps he is really old and his reaction has become slower.”
Otherwise, why would you dare to make a decision privately without consulting him?
Having raised so much military expenditure for him, he would agree to any request that met the actual requirements.
As expected of the Hanlin bachelor he valued, his brain was very effective, and he made everyone scramble to take out money without any effort.
Listening to Xiao Wu’s explanation, Emperor Cheng Xuan sighed,
It turns out that so many people were on the list. Fortunately, I stood up in time and left a good impression on the officials.
For example, regarding the needs of the people at the bottom, as long as it involves people's livelihood, all he knows is superficial, which is too superficial. If he trains for another ten years, he may be able to do it.
“Old Prime Minister is old and probably hasn’t reacted yet. Do you want to give them some more time? At today’s court meeting, Prime Minister Mu should take action soon after learning the truth.”
If he gets a reward today, he will be put into a sack when he goes out.
As long as there are no pitfalls in the mind, you will not ask for trouble.
Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at Xiao Wu's avoidance and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "A little makes a lot, and your heart is the most important thing. If you love me, you don't have to be humble. Forget it, remember the reward first. If you accumulate more later, we will give it to you together." I ask for it." (End of chapter)
