4872. Chapter 4872 The emperor's heart is like a sea 6
Everyone, no matter how idiotic they were, heard it now.
Well, it’s okay if Your Majesty doesn’t reduce the size of the harem - just pay for it.
The Crown Prince and Tutor came from a well-known poor family. He was neither corrupt nor a womanizer, and lived only on his salary. Although the emperor usually rewarded him quite a lot, he had a large family and countless people came to enjoy the autumn breeze every day.
Whatever I get, I always share it generously with my clan members.
With so much going on and no progress, after all these years, the family has no money left. The one thousand taels he mentioned is already all his savings over the years. For a high-ranking official, this is unbelievable. However, because
The Taifu had a great reputation and everyone was familiar with his situation. It was quite unexpected that he could give out a thousand silver coins.
Everyone here, including the emperor himself, has visited his home, and everyone knows what his home is like.
Tuoba Hong sighed: "Master, you really make me feel ashamed."
The Taifu smiled humbly: "When I was in decline, I was entrusted with important responsibilities by Your Majesty. Over the years, I have had no worries about food and drink, and I have been able to carry out my ambitions. Let alone a thousand silver coins, even if I want to smash my body to pieces, I will not hesitate. It's just a matter of time.
What are the things outside the body?"
Of course, mere external possessions are nothing!
It’s just money!
Such a poor old official took a thousand silver. All the princes and heroes here have many fiefs, many rewards, and independent small treasury. He has given out all his family property. Don't say that he took it all——
But is half okay? What about one third? It’s not a problem to come up with one hundred and eighty thousand silver, right?
His face turned pale for the Emperor.
Pale.
Is there anything in this world that is more painful than being handed over such a large amount of money? You know, the landlord's family also has no surplus food.
So what if the princes have more money? They have to support countless princesses, countless concubines, countless children and relatives, countless servants... There are also many pomps and arrangements, as well as countless food, drink, whoring and gambling, as well as countless lovers in brothels.
There is a mistress hidden in a certain golden house who can act coquettishly and spend money... It's easy for everyone!
Even if you are guarding the gold and silver mountains, you can barely survive, so how can you have the energy to help others?
