With Prime Minister Wen taking the lead, all the ministers immediately knelt down, including Liu Baichuan, without any hesitation.
Prime Minister Wen knew that this level could not satisfy Wu Yuan, so he immediately made a statement.
"Your Majesty, I know that now that the war is about to begin, huge military support is needed to keep Dawu safe and sound, so I am willing to put all my savings into the national treasury, which can be regarded as my contribution to Dawu strategy."
The ministers who knelt down with Prime Minister Wen were dumbfounded and all looked at Prime Minister Wen.
Feeling the attention of everyone, Prime Minister Wen also had a stiff expression.
He also knew that this move would also offend people, but there was no way. Prime Minister Wen knew very well that this was what Wu Yuan wanted.
He couldn't turn a blind eye, otherwise, he would offend Wu Yuan and his good days would be over.
So I can only say sorry to these ministers, but Prime Minister Wen believes that these people will understand his good intentions afterwards.
Today, Wu Yuan set up a Hongmen Banquet for them. Although the banquet was a bit unbearable, Wu Yuan's goal was still achieved.
If you only use some savings to exchange for peace, I believe many ministers would be happy to see this.
So under the leadership of Prime Minister Wen, some people began to express their willingness to donate a little bit of their own efforts.
Liu Baichuan's face was filled with uncertainty. He had never heard of such a shameless emperor as Wu Yuan in history. He was so shameless.
What is the difference between this and Mingqiang?
Others thought the same thing, but after witnessing the Zhao family being ransacked, no one wanted to experience such a thing.
I'm afraid this is something the new emperor did intentionally. How many people dare to take risks after seeing the tragic situation of the Zhao family?
In short, what was donated was only some yellow and white stuff, and the foundation was still there, and we would still make some money in the future. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a lot better.
In the end, even Liu Baichuan expressed his willingness to donate all his savings. At this point, all the ministers looked at Wu Yuan with complicated emotions, waiting for Wu Yuan's response.
"Oh, you are worthy of being the pillars of our army. Don't worry, after our army has unified the country in the future, we will never forget your achievements."
Hearing what Wu Yuan said, his originally depressed mood improved a lot. It turned out to be a wise move. Not only was his house not confiscated, but he might even get a good reputation in the future.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Liu Baichuan said expressionlessly.
"Nothing's wrong, but Mr. Liu wants to donate silver to the imperial court, so naturally he can't let Mr. Liu worry about it anymore." Wu Yuan said suddenly.
Just when Liu Baichuan was guessing what Wu Yuan meant, he heard Wu Yuan order: "You guys, follow Mr. Liu and bring back all the yellow and white things from Mr. Liu's house. Be careful.
Be polite when you go to Lord Liu's house, these are the pillars of our country."
Several guards immediately accepted the order and agreed.
Liu Baichuan was so anxious to return home because he wanted to secretly operate it and transfer the family's money elsewhere, but he never expected that Wu Yuan would directly cut off his escape route.
At a glance, you can tell that these guards are incompetent masters, and it is simply impossible to get them to be open-minded.
The other ministers did not expect that Wu Yuan would do such a brilliant job, and they did not want to leave any way out for them.
Wu Yuan turned to Yan Miao and said: "Equip fifty guards for each of the adults, and be sure to protect the safety of the adults."
Everyone was dumbfounded, fifty people?
Are they really going to evacuate their home?
Liu Baichuan and the previous veterans were taken care of by Wu Yuan and equipped with a hundred imperial guards.
The euphemistic name is to protect their safety, but in reality it is not much different from ransacking a home.
The only difference is that these people will probably only take gold and silver items and will not touch anything else.
Now that the deal was done, Prime Minister Wen took the lead in making a statement and left with fifty imperial guards, and the others had no choice but to follow with complicated emotions.
It's just that these ministers misunderstood. When they saw the appearance of these imperial guards, they thought that these were specially prepared by Wu Yuan for them.
But in fact, these imperial guards were used to deal with the Guiyuan sect, but they were no longer needed now. They just followed these ministers to transport their belongings.
With the departure of these ministers, the Zhao family became empty.
Everyone in the Zhao family has been driven out. As soon as these ministers leave, the door will be locked and they will be sold off soon.
After Wu Yuan came out, he saw the Zhao family surrounding the house and refusing to leave. Zhao Kuan was still left there like a dead dog.
It seems that because they learned that Zhao Kuan was born into a lowly woman, these people looked at Zhao Kuan with a hint of contempt and disgust.
Wu Yuan felt very ridiculous. He had already become a beggar. How could he be so noble here?
On the way back, nearly half of the 10,000 imperial troops brought by Yan Miao "escorted" the ministers back.
The remaining five thousand people escorted Wu Yuan back to the palace.
Even now, Wu Yuan did not dare to be careless. Even Akano Hanako fainted without even seeing her face to face. The blind second elder and the white-browed fifth elder had to be treated with caution by Wu Yuan.
Today, I yelled at those two old guys for a while, and Wu Yuan felt that the other party had murderous intentions towards him. If nothing else, the other party no longer wanted to test him. Next, he would most likely do something to him.
Killer's.
Likewise, Wu Yuan had no intention of letting these people go.
However, the journey passed without any danger, and there was no sign of the other party showing up.
After successfully returning to the East Palace, Wu Yuan also strengthened his defense.
In the room, Wu Yuan looked at Akano Hanako who had recovered.
"When were you caught by them?" Wu Yuan asked.
Akano Hanako recalled it carefully and then said: "It must have been last night, when it was almost dawn. I wanted to leave at that time, but I didn't expect that someone walked around behind me without any notice."
"I was careless, and my opponent was too strong."
Akano Hanako never belittles herself, she has one thing to say.
"Hanako, do you have a way to deal with that person?" Wu Yuan also wanted to hear Akano Hanako's opinion. After all, apart from Bai Aoxue, Akano Hanako was the only person who had ever been close to the blind man.
Akano Hanako fell into deep thought, and finally said apologetically: "Except for my master, I'm afraid no one can be his opponent. Of course, it's okay if that Zhang Tianshi is here."
