With tears in his eyes, Yu Wenhao said movedly: "Father, if you are willing, your son can eat with you every day."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him with a smile, "I'm afraid that in the future you will be so busy with political affairs that you won't even be able to take care of your own meal. That's how it is when you are an emperor. You won't even have time to breathe. My father knows that you have filial piety..." He
He pressed his hand on the banknote and took a look, "I took 30,000 taels for my own use. It's a little less, but I believe that if each of my sons shows a little filial piety, I should be able to have hundreds of thousands."
Even though it doesn’t cost much to save two taels of silver, I always feel unsteady without money around me, don’t you think?”
Yu Wenhao was moved. After hearing what his father said, he naturally nodded and said, "Yes!"
Emperor Ming Yuan's smile gradually returned to his face, "That's good. If I have 500,000 taels, I will be at ease."
Five hundred thousand taels was almost the amount he paid to buy Zhuangzi. If he could get this amount back, he would be satisfied.
After Yu Wenhao was moved, he thought about it. He was stunned. He looked at the banknotes in the box and then at Lao Yuan. This... the money in the box cannot be used, but his father wants five hundred thousand taels. How can this be so?
Doesn’t he have to post another part?
"Okay, tell your brothers this, and send the money to the palace when it's ready."
After Emperor Ming Yuan got the answer, he felt much more energetic. Zhuangzi, who had lost money, had recovered his money.
Yuan Qingling didn't say a word during the whole process, and she was asking for at least tens of thousands of taels of silver to get involved. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but thinking that her father had saved this money and handed it over to Lao Wu's hands, it shows that this heart is really deep.
Preciousness cannot be measured by money.
It's tens of thousands taels, but you can still come up with it.
In this way, the couple took the banknotes and left the palace to raise money.
When I returned home and counted it, including the loan IOUs, there were indeed as many as three million taels. They were all bank accounts opened by the imperial court. They were very safe. If you were worried, you could exchange the silver and store it in the cellar.
.
"This is the money my father has saved for more than ten years. It shows how frugally my father has lived during these ten years."
Yu Wenhao sighed, he must be more frugal in the future.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Not only does my father live a frugal life, but the ladies in the palace are also frugal. No wonder the ladies have to support their parents' families."
Yu Wenhao thought of the Supreme Emperor and Prince Anfeng. They lived a very frugal life. They indeed agreed with Lao Yuan's words. They did not dare to take the lead in having fun before the Northern Tang Dynasty was out of poverty. In recent years, most of the royal family's children have been able to restrain themselves and not become arrogant.
The luxurious and elegant life is also because they set an example! Yu Wenhao sealed the banknotes, locked them in the warehouse, and asked Tang Yang to invite the princes to come to discuss royal preparations.
He emphatically told Tang Yang that the fourth master, the royal son-in-law, must be present, and when inviting them, never say it was for money, in case someone didn't come.
It was easy to talk to the other princes, but Tang Yang personally invited Prince An.
King An was worried and panicking about Yu Wenhao's ascension to the throne. Suddenly Tang Yang came to invite him in person. His heart sank and he asked Tang Yang, "What are you asking for?"
Tang Yang looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, "To tell you what the prince is saying, I don't know Bei Zhi. His Highness just called Bei Zhi to invite you and didn't reveal what it was about."
King An became even more nervous, "Did you invite others?"
Tang Yang said: "I don't know. I am just asking you to do this for me."
"I don't know anything, and I don't know who I invited."
King An thought for a while and felt that he couldn't go. He might even organize a Hongmen Banquet. He waved his hands hurriedly, "I am feeling a little unwell. You tell him to go see him another day."
Tang Yang held up his hand and said, "Your Majesty, you'd better go, otherwise His Highness may have to come in person."
"He came in person?"
King An looked at him with sharp eyes, "Does he dare?"
If Yan'er and the child are disturbed, even if they fight against him, it won't make things easier for him.
Tang Yang was startled, "What do you mean by the prince's words?
Why doesn’t the prince dare?”
Tang Yang thought that Prince An already knew the prince's intention, and he couldn't help but feel terrible in his heart.
Prince An thought that Tang Yang was being sarcastic, and his face flushed with anger, "Okay, I will go ahead and see what Yu Wenhao can do. Please wait a moment while I go in and talk to the princess."
Tang Yang said: "Okay, I'll take the first step if I'm humble enough!"
When King An saw that he was leaving first, he said that he had spotted him and did not dare not to go. He was even more angry. He angrily walked out and turned to the inner courtyard to find Princess An.
He asked Princess An to pack her things and prepare the carriage first. If he could not come back from Prince Chu's Mansion, he would ask the two of them to leave the capital immediately and go back to Jiangbei Mansion.
Princess An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The prince is just asking you to come over and talk about something. Is it so serious?"
King An said: "What can he talk to me about?
Now that the date of his accession to the throne has been set, he is about to get the throne. At this juncture, he will definitely clear all obstacles. I once fought with him for the position of prince, how can he tolerate me?
In the past, I probably had to pretend to be good for the sake of reputation. Now that everything has settled, he will never tolerate me. This is not an alarmist. Just listen to me."
Princess An shook her head, "The prince is not that kind of person."
King An was anxious, "How can you see clearly what kind of person he is?
Do what I tell you, don’t take risks, and don’t trust people too much. There is nothing wrong with him doing this. If it were me, I would do the same.”
Princess An's face darkened slightly, "What you think or what you will do, these are all assumptions. Just because you can do it, it does not mean that the prince will do it. I won't leave. I will stay here to wait for the enthronement ceremony."
"Why are you so stubborn?
You can't let An Zhi take risks with us!"
King An said angrily.
Princess An put An Zhi down, then stood up and looked at Prince An, and said seriously: "If he really wants to harm us, even if An Zhi and I leave the capital, he can still send people over to kill us, but I believe he won't do this
Do it, you go, I will wait here for you to come back, if you really want to die, the three of us will die together, no need to talk about it."
King An was startled, and his eyes slowly darkened. After a while, he said, "What you said makes sense. If he wants to kill us, there is no point in escaping."
He turned around. After all, he felt guilty. In addition, he was ill and his steps were almost unsteady.
He rode his horse to the Prince of Chu's Mansion and saw that all the princes were here. He felt relieved. If Lao Wu wanted to kill him, he would never be so stupid as to ask other people to bear witness.
I couldn't help but feel that I was too worried and was ill in vain.
After entering, he seemed a little wary and sat down with everyone. The brothers talked for a while. Seeing that he was silent, Yu Wenhao asked him, "I heard that you are sick, are you okay?"
King An said slowly: "It's okay. I was just worried about my father's illness. I couldn't sleep for a few nights. After being sick, I took some medicine and everything is fine."
King Sun raised his head and glanced at him lightly, "Fart, you are worried about yourself, worried that the fifth will settle the score after he ascends the throne and want your earless head."
King An suddenly turned red with shame and anger, "What nonsense are you talking about?
When have I ever been so worried?"
King Sun snorted, "I don't know about you yet?
Can you hide your petty thoughts and ideas?"
An Wang stood up angrily, "If you say this, we have nothing to say, I'm leaving!"
"Can't leave!"
Yu Wenhao shouted quickly, are you kidding me?
If he leaves, won't he have to collect more?
He stood up and grabbed King An, then turned around and said to King Sun, "Second brother, stop talking."
