"You worked hard at that time."

The emperor walked slowly, passing in front of the ministers, looking at each one as he passed, and looking down at each one.

The emperor said: "You were afraid that Wanyu Tower would notice your raising of food and grass, so you didn't explain to those big merchants that the money, food and materials needed were to be sent to my rescue."

Ning Weimo immediately said: "But I didn't dare to take the money privately, so I wrote receipts to all the merchants."

The emperor hummed.

Ning Weimo continued: "At that time, Wanyu Tower was in Yunzhou. Once I said that I wanted to raise money to save His Majesty, it wouldn't take long for Wanyu Tower to find out. By then, my death would be a small matter, but it would be a big deal to save His Majesty.

.”

The emperor said again: "You worked hard at that time."

Ning Weimo said: "Even though I was careful and didn't dare to reveal my traces, I was still noticed by the traitors. There were two heroes sent by the governor Lin Ye to protect me. In order to let me escape halfway, they

The two of them died in battle one after another, and their deaths were extremely tragic. To this day, I still remember their loyalty and bravery..."

When he said this, Ning Weimo could no longer hold back any longer, with tears in his eyes.

This was not all pretend, but he was really feeling uncomfortable. Every time he thought of brothers Chu Danrong and Chu Dingcong dying to save him, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart again and again.

Ning Weimo said: "Later, when your Majesty returned from Guzhu, he learned that there was still a large part of the silver collected by the minister, so he used the majority of the silver for pensions."

The Emperor said: "The rebels besieged the city, and so many soldiers died fighting to protect me. I am ashamed of them. The imperial court has allocated money as a pension, but what kind of money is enough?"

He looked at the courtiers: "I am the emperor, and the emperor cannot break the rules casually. The amount of the pension was originally agreed upon and entered into law. Therefore, if I want to compensate the families of those fallen soldiers, I can only use extraordinary means."

"This matter... I was also wrong. After much thought, if I had brought the matter to the court for discussion, none of your ministers would have stopped me."

A group of people couldn't help but nod.

The emperor seemed to be thinking of something casually: "I remember, did Lin Ye also take some money from you?"

"yes."

Ning Wei said at the end: "The Protector-General recruited many loyal people in the world at that time. These people fought to the death for Dayu, and many of them failed to come back."

"There are also soldiers and horses that Lord Protector recruited from Dongbo. The casualties in Lone Bamboo were even more heavy, fifty to six out of ten."

"The Protector-General said that although they are a gangster, even though they are from Dongbo, they are all serving the emperor and fighting for Dayu. We cannot let all of them die and our family members be heartbroken."

"So, Lord Protector took a batch of collected silver from me and sent the money to Dongbo and distributed it to the families of the Dongbo soldiers who died in battle."

Ning Weimo said: "When Lord Protector said that, I felt really sad. They are all your Majesty's ministers. Dayu's soldiers died in battle and the court still paid them pensions. But when those righteous warriors died, no one cared about them."

Hearing these words, the emperor sighed heavily.

He sighed heavily, and Manchao Wenwu couldn't help but feel tense.

"In the final analysis, this is my fault."

The Emperor said: "After returning to Geling, I was busy with this and that, but I forgot about these loyal and righteous people who risked their lives outside the territory for me."

Ning Weimo said: "Yu Lingwei was investigating the case in Yunzhou, and I just remembered this matter. It is true that I failed to give them an explanation."

The emperor looked at Xumi Pianruo, and Xumi Pianruo said to his heart, don't look at me, don't look at me, Your Majesty, don't look at me, I don't want to go to Yunzhou anymore.

The emperor said: "Xumi, you should go to Yunzhou yourself and inform the merchants from all over the country about this matter."

Please investigate the matter carefully. If it is indeed because of Ning Weimo raising money for me, then I will give them the due explanation."

Xumi Pianruo: "I still have..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor said: "Let go of what you have in hand first, and appeasing the people's hearts is the most important thing."

Xumi Pianruo: "I... obey the order."

The emperor said: "Let's set off as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Xiujin came closer with very light steps and lowered his voice to the emperor: "General Lin Ye has a secret report."

The emperor reaches out his hand.

Gu Xiujin handed over the memorial. The emperor looked at it halfway and his face began to turn cold.

Before he said anything, the courtiers already felt the chill.
