Inside the Manna Hall.
After Li Er agreed with Li Zexuan to establish the Nuantang Charity Foundation in the name of the imperial court, Empress Changsun said happily:
"Marquis Yong'an, if this charity organization of yours is established, remember to tell me, I will also try my best to help!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have misunderstood! How can I be so virtuous and qualified to take on such an important task? What I mean is that the president of this charity organization should be my Majesty, and I will not hold any position in this charity organization!" "
Empress Changsun couldn't help but be startled. This answer was beyond her expectation, but after a moment she still shook her head with a smile on her face and said: "Haha! Marquis Yong'an, you are planning all this on me~? That's okay No, I usually have a lot of things to be busy with. I can’t take care of your charity organization! If you delay the important task of relieving the people, I will become a sinner~!"
Although she doesn't understand why Li Zexuan made this decision, she has always been low-key. She will definitely not do such a publicity and limelight thing!
Li Zexuan hurriedly said: "As the master of the harem, it is normal for the queen to have no time to care for others! But as the president of a charity organization, there is actually no need for the queen to take care of her every day. Other people in the charity organization will help the queen solve problems! "
Li Er seemed to understand something at this time. He glanced at Li Zexuan with a half-smile, then waved his hand to interrupt Empress Changsun who was about to speak, and said:
"Okay! In my opinion, Maid Guanyin, you should accept the position of president! Although this guy is not serving in it, he must have already made arrangements in his mind for candidates for other positions in the charity organization! Maid Guanyin, please don't Don’t worry~!”
The matter is now very clear. Li Zexuan wanted to set up a public welfare organization to help the people, but he was worried that he would gain too high a reputation among the people and cause impeachment by courtiers and fear from the king, so he took the initiative to invite Empress Changsun to be the "leader" of this public welfare organization. Leader" to bear the prestige of all people! In this way, he can not only do good deeds with peace of mind, but also avoid being jealous by the king because of his high popularity!
Li Er saw through it but didn't tell it, but he was still a little unhappy when Li Zexuan "judged the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart" like this. Li Er couldn't help but "ask himself", could it be that I am so evil-minded in this kid's heart? Small~?
"Oh~!"
After hearing this, Empress Changsun seemed to have some understanding. She looked at Li Zexuan and said with a smile: "Since this public welfare organization has the position of president, it must also have a vice president, right? I wonder who in the heart of Yongan Marquis can take on this important responsibility~ ?”
"Ahem!"
Li Zexuan coughed dryly and said with a little embarrassment: "I want Zhuo Jing to serve as the vice president, do you think it is okay~?"
Li Er's guess was correct. He really didn't want to cause too much trouble because of charity, and he only did charity to make himself happy, not to let the people appreciate his kindness!
Of course, since he proposed this charity organization, it can't have nothing to do with him, right? It’s not that he is bragging, but this charity organization really wouldn’t be popular without him running it!
It just so happens that his wife has always wanted to find something to do, so let her join the management of this charity organization!
Hearing this, Li Er showed a smile on his face that said, "It's true." Empress Changsun blinked and said with a smile: "Since this is the candidate you proposed, of course I have no objection! It's just that this public welfare organization should have a name. ~?"
To be honest, she really doesn't have time to take care of this charity organization. Li Zexuan is willing to let Han Yuxi come over as the vice president. The eldest grandson is eager to do it! Because Han Yuxi is here, if something happens to the charity organization in the future, Li Zexuan will be embarrassed to stand by and watch~? Therefore, she is happy to see the candidates proposed by Li Zexuan come to fruition!
Li Zexuan muttered: "Why don't we call it Nuantang Charity Fund? What do Your Majesty and the Queen think?"
"Nuan Tang, Nuan Tang! Okay! Let's call it Nuan Tang!"
Li Er's eyes lit up, he put his hands on his hands and smiled.
"It's indeed a good name with a good meaning!"
Queen Changsun also expressed her appreciation.
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty has no objection to the empress, let's call it Nuan Tang! In my personal capacity, I will contribute 20,000 yuan. In the past two days, I will also call on wealthy private businessmen to raise funds and donate money through the "Datang Daily" to win over Let all the poor people in Chang'an City be able to afford coal stoves and burn coal before the end of the year! As for other states and counties, time is too tight, I am afraid it will be too late this year!"
Empress Changsun said hurriedly: "Since I am the president of the association, why should I not contribute money? Marquis Yong'an, I will give you three thousand coins later and use it for the charity of the Nuantang Foundation~!"
What she was thinking was that with some of her own private money and selling some gold and silver jewelry, three thousand guan should be enough!
The virtuous Empress Changsun never thought of letting Li Er use money from the national treasury or internal treasury for personal matters.
Li Er waved his hand and said: "Guanyin, you don't have to be like this. I will withdraw five thousand strings from my inner treasury and donate it to the Nuantang Foundation in your name!"
After that, he turned to Li Zexuan and said: "Yong'an Hou, you want to set up the Nuantang Fund to do good things, I have no objection! I also believe that with your temperament, you will definitely not embezzle charity funds, but you must take good care of your subordinates. Man, it’s not easy to get my money~!”
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will pay attention! I will make every donation from the Nuantang Foundation be spent clearly~!"
As a modern man, he knows better than anyone how important integrity and fairness are to a public welfare fund! The beautiful incident in the previous life directly brought the social credibility of a certain 10-character association to a freezing point!
"Yeah! That's the best!"
Li Er said lightly. Seeing that there was nothing else going on here, Empress Changsun told Li Er and left.
In the main hall, suddenly only the monarch and his ministers were left.
Li Er put his hands behind his back, and after a long time, he said slowly: "You brat! I'll tell you again, I'm not Liu Bang, and you won't be Han Xin~!"
After saying this meaningless sentence, Li Er snorted and walked away!
It can be seen that he is very unhappy!
"Alas! I'm just too lazy to mess around! Otherwise, even if you are Liu Bang, I can pull you down!"
Li Zexuan curled his lips and said in his heart.
He understood what Li Er meant, but he didn't regret doing it because he was a person who didn't like trouble at heart! But not liking trouble does not mean that he is afraid of trouble. Just as he thought in his heart, if Li Er was really an emperor like Liu Bang who was good at killing heroes, he, Li Zexuan, would not sit still and wait for death! He will not let anyone who doesn't let him have an easy life!
