Emperor Rules Family while I Rule the Country

After Zhang Zheng finished donating, he hurriedly left the stage. However, the surrounding people were all discussing with each other, and the voices were getting louder and louder.

"Only ten taels of silver was donated by a second rank official in the Cabinet."

"The usually sloppy Prince Rui would always extend a hand to help at crucial moments, even giving him 50,000 gold at once. How come his turn here is so different?"

"Oh, these officials are all the same. Usually, they would spend dozens of taels of silver to eat a meal at the Supreme Purity Pavilion. They should be reluctant to part with it when they need it."

"What a waste of their clothes."

A single person saying that could casually fabricate a crime and lock them up, but since the group of people said that, there was nothing they could do about it. If word of this got out, they would completely lose the hearts of the people.

Zhang Zheng sweated profusely, he had already discussed this with the others, each giving a few taels of silver to show that he was alright, since they were not his subordinates, the money should be given by the emperor, the money should be given by Zhou Leping, why should they give it to him?

But who would have thought that today would be a banquet for Hongmen? Zhou Leping had prepared such a huge trap for them.

Zhou Leping gave Chang Feng a meaningful glance, and Chang Feng blended into the crowd and spoke up, "Silence, quiet. The other adults will definitely not let us down! "

"This little brother is right." Zhou Leping stood up and spoke of the fairness, "I said before, donating as much as you want is entirely dependent on your own will, and 10 gold coins is also Master Zhang's heart, as long as it is your heart, I should be grateful."

She turned around and gave Zhang Zheng a military salute. "I will lead the soldiers on the border to thank Great Master Zhang."

Zhang Zheng blushed with shame and quickly stood up to return the greeting, "I dare not accept it, I deserve... "Of course."

Chang Feng gave another person a meaningful glance, and another person immediately added, "The soldiers are guarding the border, fighting bravely against the enemy and repelling the fresh Yu Man Tribe. They are not afraid of being sacrificed and have protected us all.

A person went up to the stage and slapped the bag on the table. The accountant counted and said in a loud voice, "This little brother has donated 20 taels of silver!"

Zhang Zheng was slapped in public and his face was burning.

The officials started whispering to each other. Even a spectator had to donate twenty taels of silver. The few taels of silver in their hands were simply too much for them to afford.

Zhao Deng was extremely excited as he gave Zhou Leping a thumbs up, "When you said donation yesterday, I even suspected that you were crazy. I never thought that you would leave such a hand behind, with a second grade Luo'er on your head, giving him ten gold.

Zhou Leping smiled and did not speak.

If only those who came to watch the commotion were this generous, they would have donated all of her money, and she was the one who asked Chang Feng to pay.

More and more people came up to the stage to donate. Even an aunt dressed in patched clothes gave out two taels of silver. The ministers could no longer sit still and sent the servants by their sides back to get the banknotes.

Zhou Leping stepped forward to stabilize the situation, and then looked towards the Lin Jing family servants.

Zhao Deng said in a very cooperative manner, "The Master Lin has so many affairs to attend to, and is even busier than the Emperor. It's such a pity that he couldn't attend the ceremony personally.

The servants of the Lin Clan had a silver note in their arms, and they did not know how to reply.

Lin Jing was the Daxing Platform's imperial edict, he controlled half of the mountain and half of the river, and was the country's leader. With Zhao Deng's question, everyone looked at the servant, if he donated a dozen or twenty taels of silver of his status, it would truly be a joke.

Seeing the situation, the servant did not dare to embarrass himself outside. He was timid and refused to take out the banknotes.

Zhao Deng's reputation as someone who would not hold back had already spread throughout the streets of the capital, furthermore, he had just donated 50 thousand gold, so he was extremely confident. He was not afraid of being criticized or anything like that, and directly took action, taking out the silver from the servant.

Everyone looked at the banknote and wondered if it was several hundred or even several thousand taels of silver.

In the end, Zhao Deng read it out loud, "The Dazhou University has ordered Lin Jing to donate silver taels... Fifty silver! "

The National Elder donated fifty silver.

The audience was no longer in an uproar. They were laughing, first one or two sounds, then a whole bunch of them.

Lin Jing was an old cunning fox, Zhou Leping had sent people to investigate, but he was too cautious, he did not manage to find anything useful, but she was not clear about Zhao Deng's background.

Even if he had to donate a hundred thousand taels of silver, it would be like pulling a root out of a cow's hair, not even worth mentioning, much less fifty taels of silver.

Of course, Lin Jing did not care about the donation, he was at home feeding the fishes and playing with the birds, so he did not know about what was happening outside.

When the servant came back and told him what had happened today, he almost vomited blood.

She had even scolded Zhou Leping yesterday for being stupid. It would be weird if she could collect all the military salaries, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face today. The little girl was quite scheming, and this time, she had won the hearts of the people.

He had truly underestimated her.

The attendant continued, "Later on, those adults donated hundreds or hundreds of silver taels. Even Great Master Zhang sent them back to collect the banknotes and gave them another 300 taels of silver."

Then he was the only one who would be embarrassed.

"Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace."

Qiu Rong had been very upset recently. It had been four years since her wedding with the Emperor. Four years had passed and she had not gotten pregnant even once.

No matter how well she did, she was not a qualified empress. Sooner or later, she would be replaced by others.

Although the Emperor had no sons, the other concubines had had sons. Even though they had not been able to protect them, they were still better than her.

However, when Lin Jing came over, he told her a piece of news that would hurt her even more.

Zhou Leping had heard Zhao Shiqian talking about the travel and donation process before, she had thought that Zhou Leping was naive to the point that his brain had gone stupid.

But hearing Lin Jing's words, she felt that she had been underestimating her.

Even though Zhao Shiqian couldn't bear to see Zhou Leping's face, he had, after all, been around since young. With more than ten years of experience together, he still had a slight bias towards Zhou Leping.

Now that Zhou Leping made such a scene, even if he knew, he would still be extremely happy.

"Right now, the emperor is extremely fearful of our Lin Family, so he doesn't say anything on the surface. However, who knows if he has joined hands with Zhou Leping to deal with us, and you … "I haven't been able to get out of the house, so I wanted to take advantage of the time it would take for the talent show to send Xia Fu in."

Qiu Rong was startled, and looked at her father in disbelief, "What did you say?"
