"If he unintentionally offends the Emperor Long Wei, Mo Li is willing to accept any punishment."

Mo Li's expression was extremely solemn and awe-inspiring, with a hint of compassion: "It's just that I beg the emperor to punish Mo Li a little later. Prince Mo's Mansion in Huaizhou and Muyang has invested a lot of manpower in the past few days.

With extensive financial resources, he opened porridge sheds to help the people. Mo Li opened as many porridge sheds as possible.

Persist for some time and get those things done one by one, so as not to cause other troubles, waste so much effort and effort, and affect the resettlement of the people. The people are innocent, and Mo Li hopes to do his best to

Do things better and help more refugees."

After saying that, Mo Li didn't say anything more. He looked like he only wanted to do more good deeds and let the emperor handle others without any complaints. He stood there and waited for the emperor's decision.

These words really stunned the emperor. He knew better than anyone else that Prince Mo's Mansion had indeed opened a large number of porridge shacks in several hardest-hit areas to help the people. Because of this, the most severely affected areas were

The place is actually quite stable compared to other places, and there haven't been many riots by the refugees.

It's just that the imperial court intentionally or unintentionally downplayed everything that Prince Mo's Mansion did, and did not praise it too much. However, these things have long been spread as good stories among the local people and the surrounding area, and the name of the Second Young Master Mo has also become more and more popular.

People praise it.

The emperor was so filled with hatred that this bastard Mo Li was so ruthless that he dared to threaten him with this matter!

By talking about the porridge shed, he was obviously telling him that once he was punished, the many porridge sheds in those places would be removed immediately. Nowadays, the government does not have such a big hand to take over the projects set up by Prince Mo's Palace in so many places.

Porridge shack, won’t the victims and refugees in those places immediately break into chaos?

Thinking of this, the emperor was extremely angry but really helpless. Even though Mo Li in front of him was a hedgehog covered with thorns, there was really nothing he could do against him for a while.

"Mo Family Master is overly concerned. You ordered Prince Mo's Mansion to open porridge shacks to provide relief to the victims. You did a great deed of great kindness. Not only did you save countless people, but you also shared the worries of the imperial court! It's not too late for me to receive praise.

, how can I punish you?"

After all, the emperor is an old ginger, and he can calculate the pros and cons of everything at once. Even if he is furious in his heart, he immediately puts on another look and puts on the false smile of the past.

Although what was said here was a complete reversal from the previous one. But absolutely no one dared to make irresponsible remarks to the emperor. The only thought in his mind at this moment was that the new head of the Mo Palace was really too sharp. He even tried to kill the emperor.

Being able to hold it in reverse is really beyond everyone's expectations.

If King Mo made everyone admire him, then Mo Li now also gave everyone a powerful impression that cannot be erased in a short period of time.

It seems that the current Prince Mo Mansion really has a successor!

Han Jiangxue secretly gave Mo Li countless angry praises in her heart. It was really satisfying to see the emperor struggling.

Mo Li had long said that almost half of the wealth earned by Prince Mo's Palace over the years had been spent on the people. But this time, with such a huge natural disaster happening in so many places, Mo Li could not just sit back and ignore it.

Instead of waiting for the emperor to forcefully collect a huge amount of silver for the court's disaster relief, it would be better for Prince Mo's Mansion to take the initiative to do all this. It would also be a waste of money. If he did it himself, he would be able to make a good name, and he would not have to be restricted by the emperor.

On the other hand, just like today, you can counterattack others. Why not?

The emperor couldn't just talk in vain, he gritted his teeth and said simply: "Mo Li, I don't think it's better than this. Prince Mo's Mansion will think of a way to open a thousand more porridge sheds in various disaster areas on the basis of the current ones."

Porridge shed, if Prince Mo’s Mansion can do this, then I can grant you the title of the new Prince Mo now!”

A thousand porridge shacks is easy to say, but in fact it is an astonishingly large sum.

Nowadays, disasters are everywhere, and food is in great tension everywhere. In just two or three months, the price of food has almost quadrupled from the original price. If the imperial court had not forcibly interfered, it would have become even more expensive.

Each of a thousand porridge sheds must be equipped with at least two thousand large pots. Two thousand large pots must use at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain every day. Even if it is not too long, even if it is thirty days a month, how much grain will it take?

Enough? What if the emperor comes with an overbearing decree, even if it takes more than a month? Most people can calculate how much silver it will cost, not to mention the large amount of other manpower, materials, etc.

The emperor's plan was really more ruthless than a robber. If Prince Mo's Mansion added a thousand porridge sheds to the original number of porridge sheds, everyone felt that it would basically bankrupt Prince Mo's Mansion.

Such a reward from the emperor is really unheard of. With an empty title of Prince Mo, he wants to get a huge amount of money from Prince Mo's palace. Such an empty-handed calculation is really a good idea!

Almost everyone thought that Mo Li would definitely not agree. After all, King Mo's hereditary throne belonged to the Mo family. Even if the emperor wanted to embarrass himself, it would be a matter of time. There was no need to lose such a big sum just to get the title earlier and on the spot.

original capital.

What's more, if Prince Mo's Mansion can still come up with such a huge sum of money under such circumstances, then what is the current financial situation of Prince Mo's Mansion? Is it true that the Mo family has reached a level of wealth that rivals the country?

Therefore, based on these facts, everyone unanimously believed that the emperor's request was nothing more than an attempt to deliberately make things difficult for Mo Li regarding the attack on the throne and to punish Mo Li in another way.

In this way, it can relieve the resentment of the imperial power being violated, and at the same time, it will not be easy to give others the advantage, which is the best of both worlds.

"Your Majesty, Mo Li is grateful for your love. However, these thousand porridge shacks are really an amount that Prince Mo's palace cannot bear right now. Therefore, please forgive me for this matter." Mo Li did not surprise everyone for the first time.

expected, fruit

However, he did not respond to such a bizarre thing: "As for the attack on the throne, Mo Li Wufu was personally granted a title by the emperor on the spot today. After he is busy with the earthquake disaster matters at hand, Prince Mo's Mansion will submit a memorial according to the rules and procedures."

Just seal it."

The emperor intended to make things difficult. Mo Li, however, showed great magnanimity in dealing with the victims. He was not annoyed or tired because of the so-called empty words and meaningless granting of a title in advance in public.

.

In this way, everyone present saw another extremely shining light in Mo Li. Although he acted boldly and did not shy away from the imperial power, he was an upright person, benevolent and righteous, and was different from the narrow-mindedness of some people.

A very sharp and ironic contrast.

Prince Mo's Mansion did not need any prompting from the court, but took the initiative to do all it could to save the natural disasters in Dongming. Such an example would be highly praised and praised by the king no matter which dynasty, generation, country or place it was in. This is because

Only in this way can we better encourage others to follow suit.

However, their emperor did the opposite. This kind of behavior was not only unbelievable, but also made many people secretly sigh and shake their heads, saying that it was not worth it for the Mohist family. Instead, they sighed for the people who are still in dire straits.

After hearing Mo Li's reply, the emperor continued to smile and said: "Mo Li, I heard that you have extraordinary abilities. How can a thousand porridge shacks be able to stump you? If you can't even do this.

If so, how can you prove your ability?

Is it enough to win the throne of King Mo? The throne of King Mo is hereditary. Although your Mansion, King Mo, can decide the final heir by yourself. But if the heir does not have the matching ability and does not meet the requirements, of course I have the right.

Replace it with someone else’s!”

The emperor's tone was light and kind, but at this moment, he had already exposed the threat to the public and no longer tried to cover it up.

In other words, if Mo Li did not agree to add a thousand porridge sheds today, then Mo Li would never be able to seize the throne of King Mo!

Speaking of this, the confrontation between the emperor and Prince Mo's Mansion is equivalent to tearing off the last fig leaf. Mo Li has become the person who must be eliminated in the emperor's heart. And Prince Mo's Mansion has to be uprooted. Since everyone is worried

You know it all. Then there is no need for even the final cover-up.

As soon as Jinkou's words came out, everyone was extremely surprised, but Mo Li was even more astonished.

"The Emperor is really putting Mo Li in a difficult situation. Mo Li's abilities are limited, and he will never be able to raise the huge amount of funds needed to build a thousand new porridge shacks."

Mo Li looked calm, and did not change his expression because of the emperor's words: "Moreover, it is impossible for Mo Li to sell everything, bankrupt his family and let me get the entire Prince Mo's Mansion in order to seize the throne, right? If that's the case,

, Mo Li is really too selfish and self-reliant, so how can he sit on the throne with any face?"

"So, you mean that I am going to force you and the entire Prince Mo's Palace now?" The emperor smiled very maliciously, and his always-prepared eyes clearly had no good intentions.

"Of course Mo Li didn't mean that, and he didn't dare. Mo Li knows that the emperor has been worried about the country and the people recently, and has been troubled by natural disasters in various places. So it is understandable that the emperor is anxious, and he just wants to save as many people as possible from the fire.

"

Mo Li said calmly: "It's a pity that Prince Mo's family has limited financial resources after all, and Mo Li's ability is even more limited, so he cannot meet the emperor's requirements. If I disappoint the emperor, please forgive me."

"What a person with limited wealth and limited ability. It seems that I have really overestimated the master of the Mo family!" The emperor's weird tone sounded very uncomfortable: "In this case, I really have to think about it carefully.

, help your Prince Mo Mansion re-select an heir to the throne who is truly worthy of the title of Prince Mo!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the old King Mo cupped his hands in a symbolic gesture and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that there is no more suitable and capable successor in Prince Mo's palace than Mo Li.

If the emperor insists on denying Mo Li, then the old minister is afraid that he will have to give an order to let him go

Prince Mo's Mansion immediately closed down all the earthquake porridge shacks in various places, so as to save some money for retirement. Anyway, the old minister doesn't care about the so-called reputation that cannot be carried into the coffin after death, it is better to be real.

It’s better for a family to have more bodies and more money to live more comfortably.”

Old Mo King's temper was really strong. After hearing these words, many people couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. The way Old Mo King challenged the emperor was really too direct. It was so clear that he had already set up a shutdown.

To use the porridge shed as an excuse to resist the emperor, I am afraid that only the Mo family could do such a thing.

The emperor suddenly changed his face again, and scolded Old Mo King on the spot: "You are so bold, you dare to threaten me with closing the porridge shed. Old Mo King, you are too presumptuous. You really think that I don't dare to do anything to you because I care about my old relationship.

Is it done?"

Old Mo King smacked the emperor in his heart. Is he worthy of mentioning old love in front of him?

Who had killed his son and daughter-in-law back then, so that Prince Mo's palace was almost gone? Now that he had stepped on his head again, he still had the nerve to mention that he missed his old love. Were he not afraid of thunder that day?

However, Old Mo King would naturally not say this in public. After all, Mo King's Mansion has not really betrayed Dong Ming yet, but sooner or later, he will tell the truth about this hypocritical and selfish devil to the core in front of the world.

The ugly face is exposed to the public!

"Your Majesty's words are serious. I just want to close down the porridge shack that I have invested my own money and effort to run. How come it has become a threat to Your Majesty?"

Old King Mo said with great difficulty and confusion: "Besides, as far as I know, the porridge shed opened by Prince Mo's Mansion has been providing free porridge to victims from various places for more than a month. With the strength of our Prince's Mansion, it has already been

We are barely able to survive at the end of our rope. Now the emperor actually wants us to open another thousand free restaurants in Prince Mo’s Mansion.

It's really impossible to do this! The veteran is a real person. If he is almost finished, of course he won't have so much spare time to help others, otherwise even if he is all involved,

, in the end, there was no recognition, and instead it became our Prince Mo’s fault, wouldn’t that make us a fool?”

Every word of this translation is like a knife. Every cut can cause blood.

The emperor's face was as dark as ink, but apart from the innocuous accusation that Old King Mo spoke a little less respectfully, there was really nothing else he could do to accuse him. And if they really wanted to compete with each other, they would only

I'm afraid that everyone will complain about Old Mo Wang.

The emperor doesn't have the courage to completely ignore the opinions and thoughts of the people in the world. More importantly, if he really disposes of Prince Mo's Mansion like this, there is a high chance that the three kings, four families and other powerful people will be punished.
