" Dong qiang dong qiang dong qiang…"
The sound of gongs and drums was very loud, reaching the study of the Minister's Residence.
"What happened?"
Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly stood up and walked towards the main entrance of the mansion.
"Uncle, once Li Chengxun looks for you…"
Li Tai was a little worried and reminded him again.
"Don't worry, I've always disliked that kid, Li Chengxun. As long as he comes to me, not only will I not give him money, I will also scold him and teach him a lesson.”
Zhangsun Wuji waved his hand and continued to walk towards the door.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Zhi immediately followed.
Soon, they saw people setting off firecrackers, gongs, and drums in front of Zhangsun Wuji's mansion.
The leader was the First Prince, Li Chengxun.
Qin Shihuang, Liu Bang, and the other emperors also came over.
Yang Guang had already been disguised and looked like a rough man.
In addition, he also brought a historian and two officials from the Ministry of Revenue.
In addition to them, there were two to three hundred Chang 'an citizens watching from the side.
Those commoners were specially recruited by Li Chengxun.
He had also treated many people in Chang 'an and had a high reputation in Chang' an. It could be said that he could get a hundred responses from the common people.
"Minister Zhangsun Wuji greets Your Highness.”
After seeing Li Chengxun, Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly bowed to him.
"Minister Zhangsun, you don't have to be so polite."
Li Chengxun waved his hand.
Then, he looked at the surrounding commoners."I gathered everyone here today mainly because I have a big announcement to make.”
"Your Highness, don't mess with me!"
Zhangsun Wuji hurriedly tugged at Li Chengxun.
Even though he didn't know what the other party was up to, he didn't need to think too much to know that it was definitely not a good thing.
Li Chengxun ignored him and continued,"This year, the weather is not good, and many parts of the Great Tang are suffering from droughts. Millions of people are already unable to eat.
Thus, the Emperor of the Great Tang decided to provide disaster relief to the people in the disaster area.
The officials of the Great Tang sympathize with the people in the disaster area.
Thus, the officials of the Great Tang have decided to make a donation. Every official in the court will contribute a sum of money to the people in the disaster area.”
Donate?
When the surrounding commoners heard this, they could not help but shout.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Li Chengxun waved his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet. He continued,"In this donation event, my Great Tang's Imperial Uncle, Minister Zhangsun, has decided to donate twelve thousand strings of strings to the people in the disaster area!”
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
Li Zhi was speechless.
Li Chengqian was speechless.
12,000 strings of strings? F * ck, was he that ruthless?
The commoners were stunned and looked at Zhangsun Wuji in disbelief.
Twelve thousand strings, this was a huge sum.
The King of Wei, Li Tai, sneered in his heart when he saw this scene. This illegitimate child was really whimsical. Did he think that the Imperial Uncle would pay him for this? Too naive!
Li Chengxun smiled again and said," Don't doubt it, everyone. This donation is not for show. I called everyone here today to ask you to be witnesses."
There were also historians who would record the donation. This donation would also be recorded in history.
Anyone who donated money would leave their name in the history books.
The first person to leave his name in the annals of history because of his donation was the Great Tang's Imperial Uncle, Minister Zhangsun.”
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
Li Chengqian was speechless.
Li Zhi was speechless.
After a pause, Li Chengxun continued,"Minister Zhangsun specially sent someone to inform me this morning to bring the Ministry of Revenue's carriage over to collect money.
Minister Zhangsun is a righteous man. Everyone must remember that my Great Tang Imperial Uncle is a man of benevolence and righteousness. He is destined to live a long life.”
Li Chengqian was speechless.
Li Zhi was speechless.
“……”
Zhangsun Wuji's eyelids twitched as he looked at the commoners. He braced himself and said,"Everyone, listen to me. There's been a misunderstanding.”
The commoners were puzzled.
Li Chengxun hurriedly pulled Zhangsun Wuji back and said,""Yes, there is indeed a misunderstanding. The amount of money Minister Zhangsun donated this time is 12,500 strings. I didn't make it clear.”
Zhangsun Wuji: "???"
Li Chengqian was speechless.
Li Zhi was speechless.
"Everyone, please wait for a moment. As we are about to donate money to the people in the disaster area, Minister Zhangsun is too excited at the moment. I will speak to him in private first.”
Li Chengxun said to the commoners before pulling Zhangsun Wuji inside.
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
He was too excited.
I'm very excited, but not because I'm about to pay. I'm very excited because I'm cheated by you!
Zhangsun Wuji was so angry that his nose was crooked.
When he arrived at the residence, he immediately glared at Li Chengxun."First Prince, don't you have a conscience for messing with me like this?”
"No," Li Chengxun said seriously.”
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Cao Cao was speechless.
"Eldest Prince, aren't you afraid that it'll be difficult to clean up the mess you've made?" Zhangsun Wuji's face darkened.”
Li Chengxun shrugged his shoulders slightly." I don't need to clean up this matter. It's your fault. You'll definitely clean it up."”
Zhangsun Wuji sneered,"Do you think I'll be foolish enough to give you 12,000 strings just because you've created such a scene?"”
Li Chengxun pointed outside and said,"Do you think those commoners are deaf or blind?
It won't be long before the news of Minister Zhangsun's donation of twelve thousand strings of Guan spread throughout Chang 'an.
Everyone knows that you want to donate this amount. Once you don't fulfill your wish, there will definitely be rumors that you, Minister Zhangsun, are a person who fishes for fame.
Moreover, they would say that you were a swindler who wanted to swindle reputation. On the surface, you said that you donated 12,000 strings, but in fact, you just gave a little bit and gained reputation, but you didn't give money.
Once this news spreads, will you still have the face to stay in Chang 'an?”
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
Li Chengqian was speechless.
Li Zhi was speechless.
