t recognize him; only a very small number of veteran high-ranking officers gasp in surprise when they see his face."Wu... Wu Shuai!"This title, "Wu Shuai," sounds fitting for Wu Ban Shan, but few peop...Chapter 1275: Do you want to be Wu Zetian

After finishing her words, Su Jinpa stood up and gave the group a cold glance. "I have patience, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to. The people of the world can't afford to wait either. So I hope when I return, you will give me a satisfactory answer."

After speaking, Su Jinpa swept his sleeves and left.

As Su Jinpa left, the other maidservants, eunuchs, and guards attending to him also departed.

Obviously, this was Su Jinpa intentionally leaving time and space for Nangong Shouzhong and the others to discuss.

When the last guard left, Cao Kun couldn't help but be the first to speak: "Lord Nangong, this matter is difficult now."

He was filled with resentment, but like everyone else, he dared not speak out.

The East Palace was clearly going to forcefully take what they wanted, but they had no resistance.

Right now, everyone can only hope that Nangong Shouchong comes up with a solution.

While Nangong Shouzhong was even more conflicted than them.

For others, it's just a matter of not wanting to part with their money.

But for him, there's also Wen Wang behind him. He gives money to the Eastern Palace. How will Wen Wang view this

The situation today is clear. If we don't meet the East Palace's demand of ten million taels of silver, no one here will get away unscathed.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Nangong Shuzhong's expression was extremely sullen.

"My lords, the Empress won't give us much time. All of you come sit beside me. Let's discuss together how to counter this."

After Nangong Shouchong finished speaking, he waited for everyone to gather around. Then, a group of people began to discuss excitedly.

But all in all, everyone is passing the buck.

Everyone knows that the situation today, it's impossible without money.

What's most sinister is that the Eastern Palace didn't allocate them any quotas.

Instead, a public fund of ten million taels of silver was offered. The East Palace only needed to take ten million taels; how much each person contributed was of no concern to the East Palace.

As long as you are capable, even if others only contribute one or two, the other person can still contribute 9.99 million taels of silver.

This gives this group a margin of choice.

That's a saying: "Friends may die, but poverty will never."

So, in all the deliberations, even Cao Kun, who had the strongest rebellious psychology, never considered not giving the silver option.greatest manipulation of public opinion.There are many other things that need not be mentioned in detail, but Li Chen knew very well that he must treat the people kindly.After finishing his words, Li...
