Chapter 216 They've Come to Ask for Money
"Alright, now get back to what you were doing, and everyone else should leave."
As soon as Tang Yu finished speaking, these nobles, fearing they would be left behind, turned around and tried to leave.
Tang Yu frowned as he watched the members of the royal families of the six kingdoms flee.
"Leave the royal families of the six kingdoms to me; I have something to say to you."
"What exactly does the Imperial Preceptor want?"
The six kings, who had originally intended to flee, stopped abruptly, turned their heads, and looked at Tang Yu with a smile that was more like a grimace.
Tang Yu did not answer directly; instead, he chose to glance at the King of Wei.
"I will be able to reveal this to you all after the royal families of the other countries have all arrived; otherwise, it may not be feasible."
The remaining kings exchanged glances, each with only two words in their hearts.
It’s over.
They never imagined that they would provoke this wicked star.
It's worth noting that Tang Yu's reputation is known to everyone in the country.
They never imagined that while they were enjoying hot pot and singing at home, they would suddenly be targeted by Tang Yu. It was absolutely deadly.
I heard that Tang Yu recently took on the role of the Commander-in-Chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which allows him to monitor all officials and execute them without prior approval.
However, they felt that this responsibility was rather pointless for Tang Yu.
After all, he dared to act first and report later to the royal families of these six kingdoms, let alone the officials.
After all the maids, concubines, musicians, and other minor nobles had left...
Tang Yu looked at the nobles from the five countries standing before him and nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems you have a pretty good attitude, which I like."
Upon hearing Tang Yu's words, these people quickly put on a smile.
"Hehe, Grand Preceptor, we...we are Grand Preceptor's eternal friends."
"I will always listen to the Grand Preceptor. Please don't misunderstand our relationship."
"Friends, I think so too."
Tang Yu sat down in the main seat with an air of grandeur, looked at the wine glasses beside him, as well as various kinds of vegetables, fruits, meats and rice, and nodded.
"It seems our Emperor treats you very well. You're having a truly wonderful day. There's wine, meat, and rice. To be honest, I'm even a little envious."
Upon hearing this, a bead of sweat instantly trickled down the foreheads of these members of the five royal families.
How to do?
How should I answer this?
Waiting online, very anxious!
They exchanged glances, each hoping that one of them would step forward and speak with Tang Yu.
After all, they were really afraid of Tang Yu.
To their disappointment, the King of Wei, who had been boasting the most earlier, was now huddled at the back of the group, seemingly afraid that Tang Yu would notice him.
Seeing that no one responded for a long time, Tang Yu said, "Have all of you become mute? Can't you speak?"
Hearing Tang Yu's words, the group of people did not dare to be angry at all, but instead smiled obsequiously.
"You flatter us, Grand Preceptor. We should indeed thank His Majesty for his kindness and assistance. He is truly a benevolent ruler of our time."
Tang Yu nodded.
"Yes, everyone's misunderstanding of His Majesty is far too deep now. How can His Majesty, such a benevolent and kind person, be called a tyrant? Where is justice? Where is justice?"
Tang Yu looked at this group of people who were lying through their teeth and couldn't help but find it amusing.
These people could only smile on the outside, but were cursing in their hearts.
After chatting with them for a while, Tang Yu didn't beat around the bush and said...
"I have come here today to ask for your help. I wonder if you can help me?"
"Grand Preceptor, to help with this, we need to know what information is required before we can assist."
King Zhao also stepped forward at this moment, because he realized that King Wei, who had been much more boastful than himself, was definitely unreliable.
If we rely on the King of Wei, we're afraid everyone will perish here today.
Therefore, King Zhao took on this responsibility without hesitation.
Looking at King Zhao, Tang Yu said, "I don't need you to know the details. All you need to do is say whether you will help or not."
The King of Zhao hesitated, looking at Tang Yu in astonishment.
If you're not my friend, you can ask me for help, but at least let me know what kind of help you need.
You haven't even told me what kind of help you would like to offer, and you're just asking me if I'll help?
If the favor I'm asked to do involves borrowing my life, am I obligated to help?
However, looking at Tang Yu's ambiguous smile, he knew in his heart that today he could only say "help".
If he dares to say he won't help, others won't know, but King Zhao will definitely die here today.
With this mindset in mind, King Zhao chose to drag everyone down with him.
"Lord Tang Yu, what do you mean by that? We will definitely help you."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding nobles stared at him with wide eyes, as if asking him why he had agreed.
Looking at the expressions of the people around him, King Zhao was utterly speechless.
What? You pushed me up here to speak, and now you want me to take the blame for you all?
This is impossible!
As a result, his heart gradually leaned towards Tang Yu's side.
Tang Yu was extremely satisfied with their performance.
"In that case, I'll tell you."
"A large portion of the soldiers of my Qin state originally belonged to the aristocratic class. They died on the battlefield because they had to fight against you, and some were left with lifelong injuries and disabilities, rendering them unable to work. At home, they were left with only their lonely wives and daughters, and their elderly mothers."
"At this time, they were soldiers of our Qin state, risking their lives for our Qin state, and our Qin state will naturally not treat them unfairly."
"Therefore, we decided to allocate a batch of funds to help these soldiers who risked their lives for the Qin state."
"Is there any of your five noble nations that you wish to support? How much are you willing to contribute? Fill out a form."
After Tang Yu finished speaking, he turned his head and saw the nobles from the five countries staring at him in disbelief with their mouths agape.
They never expected that Tang Yu would come to see them today for this reason.
If it's just about money, then it's fine.
But the purpose of asking for money is to help the people who destroyed their country and those who imprisoned them. How can they accept this?
Even if they did have money, they wouldn't help you.
But just as they were about to refuse, they saw Tang Yu looking up at the sky with a somewhat bored expression.
Tang Yu slowly opened his mouth and said, "I wonder if the nobles of the royal family are willing to contribute their share?"
"If you are unwilling to make a donation, I will absolutely not force you. However, I think it would be better if you all made one, since I, Tang Yu, am a person who holds grudges."
