Chapter 228 Fundraising
When everyone heard this, Chen Xiao was willing to take the blame?
To be honest, it is really far-fetched to hold this pot on Chen Xiao.
If Chen Xiao retorted a few words and no one was a fool, he would really not be able to pull this matter on him.
However, he didn't refute, and the unreasonable mouth was surprisingly disproportionate today.
Moreover, he admitted defeat.
This makes people feel really strange.
The emperor was a little confused and looked at Chen Xiao and said, "You... actually admitted that it was your fault?"
"Agree, everyone says I'm wrong, then that's wrong?"
Chen Xiao was very serious and said calmly.
The emperor frowned and wanted to say something, but found out, but he didn't know what to say.
The third prince sneered and said, "Since Lord Chen also admitted that it was his fault, then, is this food fund for disaster relief? It should be done by Lord Chen to find a way to solve it!"
"No problem, it's a little bit, this is what it should be. I'll make a statement first, I'll take the blame, so I'm willing to take 400,000 taels of silver as compensation for the trouble caused by the Ministry of Revenue this time I dealt with too early.
In addition, I personally pay another 100,000 taels of silver to donate to the disaster area. I know that these silver is far from enough, so next, I am willing to serve as the raising person for this disaster relief fund and be responsible for donating money!"
Chen Xiao said it lightly, and he also said it very clearly.
Four hundred thousand taels are used as one’s own compensation, and one hundred thousand taels are used as an individual donation.
In addition, he found a way to raise the remaining money and asked someone to raise funds!
These words shocked everyone directly.
The emperor was also moved and said, "You have...500,000 taels?"
"Piece together and sell everything, you can take it out." Chen Xiao said.
"Think clearly!" the emperor reminded.
Chen Xiao said: "Think it clearly!"
The emperor said, "Okay, then, I will leave the donation to you too!"
The third prince bowed to Chen Xiao: "Okay, Lord Chen is so heroic, I admire him."
Chen Xiao glanced at the third prince and said, "You can't just admire it. I took the blame and gave an extra 100,000 taels of donation. As the prince, have you not expressed your opinion to the disaster area? Or are you just talking here?"
The third prince narrowed his eyes and snorted, his momentum was not inferior: "I... donated 30,000 taels of silver to the disaster area!"
Chen Xiao looked contemptuous: "The royal prince is not as much as my minister? Who said on the street that day that he was the royal family, I am the minister, and the world belongs to the royal family."
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao looked at the third prince with his hands behind his back:
"In the world of this royal family, in addition to the disaster, I, a minister, have been helping me, but as a prince, I have paid so much, which is heartbreaking!"
"Besides, this happened. The Ministry of Revenue cannot afford the money for the time being. The official donated an extra 100,000 taels of silver in addition to compensation. Naturally, the civil and military officials in the court also had to donate.
I have set an example for everyone, but the Third Prince, as a royal family, you are just donating so much, this... what should the ministers behind you do?"
These words not only made the third prince look ugly, but also made many ministers jump in their hearts.
They thought to themselves, when will they plan to donate money?
Damn, Chen Xiao is playing with moral kidnapping, and he represents everyone.
The problem is, no one dares to say anything.
People donated so much and took the blame for 400,000 yuan. These ministers were really driven to the shelves by Chen Xiao.
Therefore, even if you let go, you feel that you can’t do it if you don’t donate.
The emperor also admired Chen Xiao. Although Chen Xiao suffered heavy bleeding this time, all the officials had to donate money in a few words, so the materials and food needed in the disaster area would not be a big problem!
The third prince was filled with anger.
I thought it was a big deal to kill Chen Xiao, but who knew that now he was also dragged into muddy water by Chen Xiao.
Now that Chen Xiao has reached the commanding heights of morality, I don’t say how to step down today?
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I...I donate 100,000 taels too!"
As soon as I said that, I regretted it.
One hundred thousand taels, his entire net worth is only tens of thousands taels.
This was the result of his salary in the palace and the benefits he received outside.
Needless to say, I have to ask his mother for the remaining money.
Chen Xiao smiled and then looked at the fifth prince and the seventh prince present!
When these two men saw Chen Xiao looking over, their faces turned green.
"Fifth Prince?" Chen Xiao shouted:
"Don't let it go, the third prince has donated it."
The fifth prince is so angry that he really wants to go up and kill Chen Xiao.
I watched the show without saying a word here, but Chen Xiao brought it up.
So he coughed: "I don't have much money, donate 50,000 taels..."
Chen Xiao grinned and shook his head: "Tsk tsk, people are so angry... How can I compare this? The same prince... Why is the difference between being a human being so big..."
"Stop talking, one hundred thousand taels..." The fifth prince's face turned pale.
Chen Xiao smiled: "It's a man!"
Immediately afterwards, he looked at the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince was so nervous. He had already thought about how to deal with Chen Xiao's next words.
Anyway, he has no money anymore. He wanted to buy a secret recipe for brewing for 100,000 taels last time, but was cheated by Chen Xiao. It is still very miserable now.
So, he swears in his heart that no matter what Chen Xiao says today, he will ask for words to refute.
Who knew that Chen Xiao looked at the Seventh Prince with a pitiful look, then shook his head: "Oh... forget it..."
The Seventh Prince was stunned and then furious: "What do you mean by me? Do you look down on others?"
Chen Xiao said: "No, how could that be? Alas, but everyone understands your situation. It's okay, everyone understands you!"
"What do you mean? You just look down on me? I am also a prince, you actually despise me so much?" The seventh prince was so angry.
He could accept Chen Xiao's request to him to take the money, but he found some reason to refuse.
But he absolutely couldn't accept Chen Xiao and just let it go. These meanings? Is Chen Xiao pitying himself?
I am a prince after all, but I am so despised and pitiful?
Shameless yourself?
"I'm not looking down on you, you're poor!" Chen Xiao looked at the Seventh Prince with pitiful eyes.
It seems like watching a beggar.
It seems to be said again: If you ask the beggar to donate money, how can this be done? You have to donate money to the beggar!
The seventh prince had a blushing face and thick neck: "You look down on others. Do you think I am miserable? Do you think I am so unbearable in your eyes? Humph, donate, you must donate. If you don't let me donate today, I will be anxious with you!"
Chen Xiao sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I ask you to donate, then you can donate tens of thousands of taels at will, just be meaningful. There is no need to compare with the third prince and the fifth prince, you...everyone understands..."
"I want you to understand a hammer? I'm not worse than them. You don't have to be so pitiful. Why donate tens of thousands of dollars at will? I also donate 100,000 taels!" The seventh prince shouted angrily!
Chen Xiao said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you are awesome, you are so arrogant..."
