At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"I also ask Your Majesty to punish Ren Hao for deceiving the emperor, as an example to others."

All the ministers and officials in the court bowed their heads to the ground again and echoed the voice.

"Ren Sikong, do you have anything else to say now?" Wen Yan looked at Ren Hao who was calm and composed in the hall, and she was very anxious for him.

She hoped that Ren Hao could quickly make an excuse and not just stand there waiting to die.

If he can't find any reason to argue, I don't know how to cover up for him.

Ren Hao glanced at the ministers who wanted to put him to death, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, although 2.4 million coins cannot fill the national treasury for a year, it should be enough to fill the national treasury for this month, right?"

"That's indeed enough." Wen Yan nodded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"If I pay more than two million coins every month to ensure that the treasury is full every month, then I will not be guilty of deceiving the emperor."

After Ren Hao finished speaking, he glanced at the ministers present and couldn't help feeling proud.

All the ministers had looks of surprise on their faces. They had never expected that Ren Hao actually had a trick up his sleeve and was playing word games.

This damn Ren Hao is even more cunning than that old fox.

No.

That old fox is not as cunning as Ren Hao.

Chen Lang looked at the smug look on Ren Hao's face and was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"If that's the case, then I'm not guilty of deceiving the emperor." Wen Yan nodded again, feeling completely relieved.

“Absurdity, this is absolutely absurd!!!”

Zhao Ping'an shouted twice, and then reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Ren Hao is playing tricks on us and treating us like fools."

"He is truly abominable and should be executed."

After Zhao Ping'an took the lead in the appeal, all the ministers followed suit and asked His Majesty to punish Ren Hao.

But at this time, some opposing voices were raised.

The person who spoke was none other than Censor Chen, who changed his attitude according to the situation.

"Your Majesty, I am against punishing Sikong Ren." Censor Chen stood up and voiced his opposition.

This made Zhao Ping'an very angry, and he immediately cursed: "Chen Yushi, are you getting old and confused!!!"

"Although Chen is old, she is not confused. When His Majesty agreed to give Sikong Ren the privilege of minting coins, neither His Majesty nor you explained whether this month would make the treasury more than sufficient for the whole year, or whether there would be surplus every month."

"If Sikong Ren can ensure that the national treasury is full every month, not only will he not be guilty of deceiving the emperor, he should be praised and rewarded." Censor Chen laughed at the end of his speech, and he also took the opportunity to praise Ren Hao to clear up the misunderstanding just now.

"Humph."

"You still say that you are not confused. Your Majesty is showing great mercy by not punishing him. How dare you propose rewarding him?"

Looking at Censor Chen, who was opportunistic and had no stance, Zhao Ping'an was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.

"Is there anything wrong with this award?"

"Among all the ministers present here, who dares to say that he has no property at home?"

"It seems that no one dares to pat his chest and say that he has no property and only lives on the salary of the court."

Censor Chen glanced at everyone, and no one said a word.

After all, what is the purpose of serving as an official in the court? Isn't it just to develop more industries and earn more money?

Seeing that the ministers did not speak, Censor Chen, who was about to flatter, continued, "Sikong Ren can share the money he earned with His Majesty. Can you all do the same?"

"Just because none of you can do it and only Ren Sikong can do it, is it wrong for me to suggest that Your Majesty reward Ren Sikong?"

"That's not wrong, is it?" Censor Chen praised him so much that all the ministers and officials were speechless.

Although Chen Yushi is a fence-sitter who is often unreliable and various rumors make him unsteady in his stance.

But Wen Yan was still quite satisfied with his wave of flattery and assists.

Wen Yan hesitated for a few seconds, not knowing how to reward Ren Hao, so he looked at Ren Hao and asked, "Ren Sikong, how do you want me to reward you?"

Ren Hao put on a loyal look and said sincerely: "As your Majesty's subject, it is natural for me to help your Majesty solve problems. I do not need any reward. Please take back your order."

Ren Hao's move made Yushang Wen Yan very happy.

This has to be rewarded.

"I have decided to give you a gold medal of immunity from death as a reward."

"As long as you have this item in your hand, no matter what mistakes you make in the future, you can be spared from death once." Wen Yan announced on the spot.

This reward left all the ministers stunned.

Especially Zhao Ping'an, his face almost turned green with anger.

He has been a prime minister for decades, from assisting the previous emperor to the current Majesty, but he has never been awarded the golden medal of immunity from death.

As for Xu Tianyin at the back, he also looked frustrated and felt very unhappy.

Even his family's veteran general Xu Tiande, who had made many great achievements in battles, and the young marquis Xu Qing did not receive such treatment.

What an honor it is to receive the golden medal of immunity from death?

Even those who followed Emperor Hanzu and made great contributions to the founding of the Han Dynasty only had a few people who received this award. How could Ren Hao deserve this honor?

"Your Majesty, what merits and abilities does this Sikong have to receive such an honor? Please take back your order and give him a reward instead."

Zhao Ping'an immediately took the lead in standing up to oppose, and other ministers followed suit and asked His Majesty to revoke the order.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The gold medal of immunity from death is of great significance and should not be awarded casually. Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, only three people have been awarded this honor."

The old Confucian scholar Ma Qian quickly stood up and asked the emperor to revoke his order and not to treat the golden medal of immunity from death as a joke.

Of the three people who were awarded the golden medal of immunity from death, the first two were heroes who had founded the Han Dynasty and followed Emperor Hanzu, and were also childhood friends of Emperor Hanzu.

They are Duke Wude Peng He and Prime Minister Zhang Xiao.

The last person to receive the golden medal of immunity from death was the brother of Emperor Zu of Han, who is also the current Emperor Gaozu of Wei.

"Compared to the three of them, Sikong Ren is not as good as Peng He in martial arts, not as good as Zhang Xiao in literature, and not as noble as Emperor Gaozu of Wei. Your Majesty, please withdraw your order."

Ma Qian finished his reasoned speech and asked again.

The Confucian scholars nearby and the ministers present all followed suit.

Even Censor Chen, who had just spoken for Ren Hao, changed his tune and asked His Majesty to revoke his order.

After all, this honor is of utmost importance and should not be taken lightly.

"Your Majesty, I cannot accept such an honor. Please revoke your order." Ren Hao was also unwilling to accept it and asked the emperor to revoke this honor.

After all, Ren Hao knew very well that anyone who received such an honor would have a bad ending.

Duke Wude Peng He conquered such a vast empire for Emperor Hanzu, and even though he was granted a golden medal of immunity from death, what was the use of it? In his later years, Emperor Hanzu said that he was taken into the coffin, and he was taken into the coffin.

Han Prime Minister Zhang Xiao gave advice to Emperor Hanzu and was good at governing the country. So what if he was granted a golden medal of immunity from death? He still ended up being abandoned.
