Nangong Yu's words made many people in the court lower their heads.

He was afraid that the emperor would look at him, because he might own a share of the money in the box.

But God was blind and really let him live.

Only Xie Daoru chuckled imperceptibly. This kid is really honest.

Eunuch Wang brought the box containing the money and opened it in public. There were indeed small change, silver bills, and silver ingots inside.

Tsk tsk, but everyone was watching, but in their hearts they were all equally shocked by Nangong Yu's action.

Although some people guessed that the person who bought the life might be Nangong Yu's man or the emperor's man.

But no one dared to ask them to return their money.

Nangong Yu could have taken the money himself. But the other party took out two million taels of silver at once, and said that he would use the rest to set up a porridge stall.

This means that others do good deeds and I pay for it, and they get the credit in front of Nangong Yu, while I still have to bear the blame!

You all must be feeling very sad. In your moment of excitement yesterday, why did you end up buying his death?

Maybe he doesn't have a list?

While everyone was thinking, the emperor took out an envelope from the box:

"What is this? Aren't you offering money? And a letter?"

The emperor was about to open it when Nangong Yu said with some annoyance:

"Oh, I forgot to take it out. Your Majesty, just return this to me. It contains a list of people who want me dead and who donated this money to me."

"I left this list because I wanted to thank these people. It was because so many people wanted me dead that the King of Hell probably thought it was better to leave a scourge in the world, so he kept me here. It's a pity that these people didn't get their wish."

All the ministers were stunned. This... this... this... you were obviously going to present it to the emperor, and yet you said it was left behind by accident!

Who believes?

But the emperor now has a new blacklist of his own!

Some adults were silently calculating in their hearts that they had one more handle on the emperor. Compared with the previous ones, this crime was not serious, it was just gambling.

It is better to stay with the emperor than with Nangong Yu, because the emperor is just keeping accounts, while Nangong Yu will definitely take revenge.

revenge……

Suddenly, I felt uncomfortable when I thought of these two words. Who knows where Nangong Yu got the list from?

The emperor blinked his eyes, chuckled, put the envelope back into the box, and gave it to the eunuch, saying:

"Put it in the Imperial Study. After the court is dismissed, follow me from the Ministry of Revenue to get the silver."

The Minister of Revenue, Mr. Zhou, hurried out and responded with a yes.

He is happy.

The Ministry of Revenue is having a headache. Every winter, they have to find ways to help the truly poor people. They should save as many as they can. After all, they can't just watch people freeze to death.

The Ministry of Revenue is preparing to purchase winter clothes recently, but they are short of money. If they have two million now, it will be of some use.

I will discuss this with Lord Nangong later. If he wants to distribute porridge, then we can prepare less porridge ingredients and more food for the winter.

Lord Zhou did not add any money to the box, so he was not afraid of Lord Nangong. Moreover, since he was in charge of the money, he knew that Lord Nangong and the Emperor were really putting a lot of thought into making sure every penny of the Ministry of Revenue was spent wisely.

Nangong Yu came to court today, but Nangong Su did not.

I didn't ask him about it. Anyway, the most difficult person in the Nangong family is Nangong Yu.

The three adults who were sick yesterday all came. Nangong Yu even smiled and greeted them:

"The illness of the adults is the same as mine, and they recovered quickly."

These three people all had something on their minds. Seeing Nangong Yu like this, they still suspected the person who did those things, and they were afraid that it was Nangong Yu's man.

But...what can we do?

With Nangong Yu here, every time a matter is discussed, Nangong Yu will stand up and make comments. Now he is the Nangong Duidui of the entire court.

No matter what government policies others proposed, as long as he could find problems with them, he would point them out.

It was like he was fighting against the entire court alone. No matter who submitted the memorial, he would do whatever he could to refute it.

The emperor naturally regarded Nangong Yu as his spokesperson. Especially when there were some things that the emperor couldn't say, it was more interesting when Nangong Yu said them out loud.

Others also realized that this was exactly what the emperor wanted, which was that all the memorials submitted by officials in the court would first be judged by Nangong Yu before being submitted to the emperor.

As a court, there are always troubles, big and small, every day, and everyone is unable to refute.

The uneducated among them were speechless after being rebuked, while the educated ones were also speechless after the argument.

And they knew they couldn't win the debate, because there was also a Grand Scholar Xie standing on the side, as if he was resting with his eyes closed. But everyone knew in their hearts that as long as Nangong Yu lost, Grand Scholar Xie would start to attack.

There was no way he would let Nangong Yu lose.

Just like that, when Nangong Yu finally moved to the imperial study, his first words were:

"Eunuch Wang, can I have a drink of water?"

The emperor laughed and scolded:

"Did you hear that, Eunuch Wang? Hurry up and give him two cups of tea so he can drink enough."

Nangong Yu said innocently:

"Your Majesty, you know me well. I have almost said everything I wanted to say in this month."

As Nangong Yu spoke, he took the warm tea handed to him by Eunuch Wang and drank it all in one gulp.

The Emperor smiled and said:

"That's right. You didn't talk much before, but why are you so talkative now? Did the poison cure you and turn you on?"

Nangong Yu said with some grievance:

"So, the emperor thinks I talk too much?"

The emperor picked up a letter from the table and threw it over:

"It will be like this from now on. You can fight back as many times as you want, otherwise my desk will be full of them. Oh, here are a bunch of peace memorials from all over the country. Come and have a look."

Nangong Yu pushed:

"I dare not look at this."

The emperor pushed the pile of memorials aside and said:

"If you don't look, who will? Aren't you the inspector? How can you look if you haven't left the capital? You can only inspect from here."

Nangong Yu took a look at the memorials that were piled up in four or five piles, one foot high. If he wanted to finish reading them all, it would take him at least after noon.

"Your Majesty, can you please let me go home first and read it again in the afternoon?"

The emperor glanced at him:

"What are you in such a hurry to go home for?"

Nangong Yu said:

"Isn't it that the Third Princess is hosting a dinner party tomorrow? Our family has received four invitations. Mother said yesterday that she would take my wife to make clothes today. I want to go back and pick out a dress for the guests."

This reason...

The adults who were waiting inside and outside the imperial study were all surprised. Is this a reason?
