Chapter 617 Upward(2/2)
He is neither arrogant nor impatient, does not take credit for himself, and behaves like a humble gentleman. This is really the magnanimity of an upright and famous minister!
At this time, His Majesty Li Er was sighing.
He had always looked up to Yang Fan, but found that he still looked down upon him.
Little did Li Er know that Yang Fan's heart was bleeding at this time.
More than one million coins!
Who would have thought that Wu Meiniang could make so much money with one hand?
If this matter had not been reported to the whole world immediately, and the subsequent impeachment would have come like snowflakes, who would want to give away the money in vain?
This time when he went to Jiangnan, Yang Fan not only wanted to pacify Jiangnan, but also wanted to develop Ryukyu Island as his retreat.
If you want to develop a place, the amount of money spent is astronomical, so save it if you can!
However, Yang Fan knew that holding this money would hurt his hands.
If it were a normal business, it might not attract anyone's attention.
But earning more than a million yuan in the name of Xu Guan was enough to drive the imperial censors to turn into mad dogs and pounce on him to overthrow him.
Since you can’t keep the money, then donate it.
From this perspective, there is actually no difference between having more than a million dollars and not having a penny.
The wind blows the eggshells, and the wealth is gone, and people are happy. Tang Bohu really didn't bully me.
Soon Yang Fan felt relieved, bid farewell to the emperor, and left gracefully.
At this time, Li Er and his son were still in a daze in the palace, slowly digesting the strong shock of more than one million guan.
After a long time, His Majesty Li Er finally breathed out a sigh and sighed: "This son's ambition is indeed different from ordinary people. He donated more than one million yuan in cash without hesitation. He is really a hero in the world!"
Of course, if His Majesty Li Er knew that this was actually a plan made by a woman, would he still say this compliment!
Li Tai said with some dissatisfaction: "Father, I'm afraid he knows very well that Xu Guan's money will definitely cause an uproar. After all, the money he collects is somewhat suspected of 'abusing power for personal gain'."
"Obviously he was afraid of being held accountable, so he hurriedly donated it. After all, once this matter came out, it would inevitably lead to the impeachment of the imperial censor and the punishment of the father. It would be better to offer it proactively to win the favor of the father."
Although this was indeed Yang Fan's original intention, His Majesty Li Er obviously thought more deeply.
"With such a huge sum of money, Yang Fan can do it without any sloppiness or attachment. It can be seen that this son actually does not value money very much. What he values , as he said, is the strength of the empire!"
"What's more important is that Yang Fan knew that the money was very expensive to collect, so why did he still collect it? He obviously knew that he, the emperor, was short of money, so he accepted the money regardless of his reputation. This is simply a very loyal minister."
Seeing the surprised look on Li Tai's face, His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Do you think Yang Fan's words just now were too shameless and flattering to the extreme?"
Although he was unwilling to speak ill of Yang Fan, Li Tai still nodded.
Those words are so limitless. Who can an upright minister say that?
Li Chengqian obviously didn't see it that way: "Fourth brother, you are totally wrong to think so!"
"You may not have noticed the look in my brother-in-law's eyes when he said these words. My brother-in-law may be exaggerating, but he definitely means it!"
"I believe everything I see with my eyes. What Yang Fan does is indeed because he is proud of this empire, because he is willing to do anything for this empire!"
Li Tai was speechless.
He really wanted to ask: Could it be that Yang Fan was acting?
The more treacherous and evil a person is, the better they are at hiding their inner feelings, making them look extremely sincere.
But seeing His Majesty Li Er nodding his head, he had no choice but to swallow these words back.
Obviously Li Er is also willing to believe in Yang Fan's loyalty to the empire and the royal family.
It seems that my father wants Yang Fan to be a model of loyalty and patriotism!
…
The news that Yang Fan had received more than one million yuan in benefits from official Xu was like a sudden hurricane that swept through the entire city of Chang'an, causing civil and military discussions throughout the court.
Each thousand coins is a coin. If all were copper coins, what kind of shocking scene would it be if nearly one million coins were put together?
This amount of money shocked the people of Tang Dynasty.
After all, these aristocratic families are too rich.
He actually paid such a high price for an official position.
Immediately, public opinion began to boil like a pot of boiling water, and the waves surged, directly pushing Yang Fan to the forefront.
Some people praise Yang Fan for being worthy of the title of "God of Wealth", as he can get a large amount of wealth just by moving his fingers.
Some people are almost crazy with jealousy, why can this stick make so much money?
Some people gritted their teeth with hatred. No wonder this bastard always wanted to go to Jiangnan. It turned out that he wanted to sell his official position to make money!
However, it depends on how you defend yourself for amassing money so arrogantly and with such a big handle. It would be strange if the imperial censor doesn't spit the shit out of this bastard!
When the news spread in Chang'an City at the speed of a hurricane, many people exchanged opinions mysteriously.
Especially the Jiangnan nobles were so happy that they couldn't sleep.
They couldn't help but reach out before going to Jiangnan. They thought Yang Fan was still too young!
