This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was actually just for her father, Changping Hou, and to get back the gold, silver and jewelry that the little fool had squandered for her. It was just a bystander to cry for poverty at these aristocratic families.

Three months passed, and Changping Hou pretended to have forgotten what he mentioned that day, and she didn't want to have too many dreams. Her family, the most famous upstart in the capital, did not need these gold, silver and jewelry to add icing on the cake.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the seat was shocked, and when they came to their senses, they all went to see the Marquis of Changping.

Hou Changping was so angry that he was caught off guard by Gu Xizhao's unexpected move. It took him a long time to recover. Facing the sight that Gu Xizhao looked at from afar, he could not have any attacks in front of everyone. He could only clench his hands tightly and look at each other calmly, "I am very pleased that the Empress can care about the world."

Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes and chuckled, "I never dare to forget my father's teachings."

"It's good to remember, just remember." Changping Hou felt difficult to breathe, and secretly supported one hand on the table beside him, and then he stabilized his body.

Cai Jun sat down below him, looking back and forth secretly at him and Gu Xizhao. When he sat down again, he got up and walked to him, bowed, "General Gu is really brave, I admire him."

On that day, Zhao Sansi invited the Gu family to the palace for a meal, and the next day, the Marquis of Changping fell ill. The disease was intermittent and he had never seen him. At the end of May, he took the initiative to step down and proposed that Gu Feiyang take over his position as the general of the Northwest.

Since Emperor Gaozong, the Gu family has been stationed by the Gu family. After Zhao Jin ascended the throne, he trusted them very much. In addition to the Gu family trained by the Gu family, Dazhao's army also held one-third of the tiger talisman that ordered the 100,000 troops in the Northwest Daying.

When the Changping Hou asked to step down, Zhao Sansi did not directly reply. He discussed with all officials before he approved his request.

After resigning from office, the Marquis of Changping naturally stayed in the imperial city. However, the title of Marquis of Changping was just a false title with a salary and had no position. Staying in the imperial city was equivalent to those old ministers who retired and returned home. On weekdays, these court officials met him and called him "God of General Gu."

When Changping Hou heard this, he could only cheer up and stand up and return the greeting, "The Prime Minister is truly young and promising, and it is admirable."

Cai Jun smiled and did not reply. Instead, he walked out and knelt down in the direction of Gu Xizhao, "The Empress is virtuous and kind, and it is a blessing for the people, and it is a blessing for the people. The work of water conservancy in Jiangnan is a great cause for the benefit of the people for thousands of years. I should learn from the good deeds of the Empress and do my best. My family is poor, and I hope that when the water conservancy in Jiangnan, I will always save money and give half of my salary to Jiangnan every year."

It was not until this moment that Zhao Sansi realized that the "setting by example" in her queen's mouth turned out to be the queen herself.

However, she was not surprised. In addition to being moved, she was more of a kind of relief that "the queen never lets down her expectations, but only surprises her."

Before Nacai, when the Minister of Rites brought the list from Nacai to her for a look, she thought the things prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs were too cold, and pointed to the good things in the warehouse on the list and added them.

At that time, Shen Yi said to her: "Emperor, the things on this ritual list were prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the ministers after considering the ritual lists of the emperor's wedding in the previous dynasty and before the Chapel. They are worth nearly five million taels, which is already a lot. Besides... I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

"explain."

"Five million taels are no longer a small amount. If the queen gives birth to a prince in the future, what if the queen's family..."

"Mr. Shen, please be careful."

"The emperor forgives his sins."

"Get up. I know in my heart. In the future... Even if the Gu family really has a strange intention, I believe that the queen will not..."

She knew that her queen would not.

Zhao Sansi retracted his thoughts, withdrew his eyes that were tightly attached to Gu Xizhao, got up and walked to Gu Xizhao, held her hand, and looked down at Cai Jun who was kneeling below, "Okay, very good. The Prime Minister is willing to share the joys and sorrows with the people of Jiangnan, which makes me very pleased."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Gu Xizhao again, and her eyebrows were filled with pride. "There is such a virtuous queen in the harem. How lucky I am to have a prime minister who was worried about the country and the people in the previous dynasty. I have both a virtuous queen and a virtuous prime minister."

Cai Jun made a name for himself, and Li Yanzhi, the Minister of Personnel of the Century, also spoke out, saying that when Jiangnan was developing water conservancy, half of his salary would be donated.

Lin Wenshu hesitated for a moment and followed him reluctantly.

The matter has developed here. What else do you don’t understand when the people who came to the palace to attend the banquet today? The little emperor’s Mid-Autumn Festival moon-watching banquet was not about wine, but aimed at their small treasury.

Although they were reluctant, from the queen to the court, they spared no effort to do this "small power". How could others dare to be a rooster who was scattered? After all, this banquet was eaten, and the moon in the palace was rewarded. This slutty person should indeed express his feelings.

For a time, these court officials followed closely and made a statement, all of whom were doing their best to make Jiangnan water conservancy affairs according to Cai Jun's standards.

Each of them only said that they donated half of their salary, but not how much money they donated. It is not that these court officials have no spare money to donate, but that they can only donate their salary. If they donate money in one go, it is a sin to donate more than less.

If you donate too much, you will inevitably leave a stingy and stingy name in front of everyone. If you donate too much, you will easily arouse the suspicion of the emperor. After all, they are all honest officials. Only by donating their salary is the most secure, which expresses their honest style of being an official and demonstrates their sincerity in caring for things in Jiangnan.

Only the Minister of War was not afraid of worldly views. In the midst of the conciliation, he said with a tangled look: "I am very concerned about the affairs of Jiangnan like these colleagues. However, my family is really weak and I can't compare with these colleagues. I have both old and young, and I am all relying on my salary. I have calculated it carefully. Even if I tighten my belt, I will probably only donate one-third of my salary. Don't blame the emperor and the queen."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sansi and Gu Xizhao both held back their smiles and looked at each other, "Sun Aiqing, please come up quickly. I am really moved by your actions today. It doesn't matter if you donate more or less. The people in Jiangnan are the people of Dazhao, and you all are the pillars of Dazhao. How can you treat you harshly for the people of Jiangnan? Lord Sun doesn't have to worry about it, one-third is your wish."

"What the emperor said is very true." As soon as Zhao Sansi finished speaking, Princess Mingzhao, who was sitting at the head of the female family, got up and answered, "Today, the Empress donated her dowry. As the princess of Dazhao, Mingzhao naturally could not watch coldly. Today, I am willing to donate fifty taels of gold and three thousand taels of silver."

"Thanks to the emperor's kindness to us, we can continue to live a peaceful life in the palace. Now money is still useless to stay by our side." After Princess Mingzhao said that, Concubine Ning also stood up, "I am willing to donate all the performances over the years and the rewards of the late emperor."

Concubine Ning spoke, and the ladies of the concubines could only grit their teeth and donate. Then, Zhao Huan's wife also spoke, donating 1,200 taels of silver. Some wives of aristocratic families with similar identities could only grit their teeth and donate.

In the end, the promised Mid-Autumn Festival moon-watching banquet turned into a large-scale fundraising site. Officials from the Ministry of Rites and people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs took out their account books and registered them one by one.
