Inside the Sweet Dew Hall.
After Li Er agreed to Li Zexuan establishing the Warm Tang Public Welfare Foundation in the name of the imperial court, Empress Zhangsun said happily,
"Marquis Yong 'an, if your public welfare organization is established, remember to tell Bengong. Bengong also wants to contribute her meager strength ~!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said, "Empress, you misunderstand! What ability does this official have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility ~? What this official means is that the president of this public welfare organization should be Empress. This official will not hold any position in this public welfare organization! "
Empress Zhangsun couldn't help but be startled. This answer was completely out of her expectations. However, after a moment, she still smiled and shook her head, saying, "Hehe! Marquis Yong 'an, you're even scheming against Bengong ~? That won't do. Bengong usually has many things to do. Bengong can't take care of your public welfare organization! When the time comes and the important matter of saving the people is delayed, Bengong will become a sinner ~! "
Although she didn't understand why Li Zexuan would make such a decision, she had always been a low-key person. This kind of public appearance that would easily attract attention was something she definitely wouldn't do!
Li Zexuan hurriedly said, "As the master of the imperial harem, it's normal for Empress to have no time to care about other things! However, as the president of the public welfare organization, Empress doesn't need to take care of it every day. The other people in the public welfare organization will naturally help Empress resolve her worries and difficulties! "
Li Er seemed to have understood something at this moment. He looked at Li Zexuan with a smile that wasn't a smile, then waved his hand to interrupt Empress Zhangsun who was about to speak, saying,
"Alright! In Zhen's opinion, Guanyin Maid, you should accept the position of president! Although this kid doesn't hold a position in it, he probably already has plans for the other positions in the public welfare organization! Guanyin Maid, you don't have to worry ~! "
The matter was already very clear. Li Zexuan wanted to establish a public welfare organization to help the people, but he was worried that he would gain too much prestige among the people and cause the officials to impeach him. Thus, he took the initiative to invite Empress Zhangsun to be the "leader" of this public welfare organization to shoulder the prestige of the people! In this way, he could do good deeds in peace and avoid being suspected by the king because of his high popularity among the people!
Li Zexuan didn't say it out loud, but he was still a little unhappy with Li Zexuan's "measuring the heart of a gentleman with his own yardstick". Li Zexuan couldn't help but ask himself, "Am I so petty in this kid's heart ~?"
"Oh ~!"
Hearing this, Empress Zhangsun seemed to have understood something. She looked at Li Zexuan and said with a smile, "Since this non-profit organization has a president, there should also be a vice president, right? I wonder who in Marquis Yong 'an's heart is willing to shoulder this heavy responsibility ~? "
"Cough cough!"
Li Zexuan coughed dryly and said with slight embarrassment, "This subject wants my humble wife to take on the position of Vice President. Does Niangniang think this is possible?"
Li Er's guess was right. He really didn't want to cause too much trouble because of charity. Moreover, he did charity for his own happiness, not for the people to be grateful for his kindness!
Of course, since this charity organization was proposed by him, it couldn't be that it had nothing to do with him, right? It wasn't that he was blowing his own trumpet, but this charity organization really couldn't become popular without him operating it!
It just so happened that his wife had always wanted to find something to do, so he could let her participate in the management of this charity organization!
Hearing this, Li Er's face showed an "as expected" smile. Empress Zhangsun blinked and said with a smile, "Since you proposed the candidate, I certainly have no objections! It's just that this charity organization should have a name, right ~? "
To be honest, she really didn't have time to take care of this charity organization. Li Zexuan was willing to let Han Yuxi be the vice president, and Zhangsun couldn't wait! Because Han Yuxi was here, if something happened to the charity organization in the future, would Li Zexuan have the nerve to stand by and watch ~? Therefore, she was happy to see Li Zexuan's candidate!
Li Zexuan pondered and said, "Why don't we call it the Nuan Tang Charity Fund! Your Majesty, what do you think? "
"Nuan Tang, Nuan Tang! Good! Let's call it Nuan Tang! "
Li Er's eyes lit up, and he clapped with a smile.
"It's indeed a good name, the meaning is good!"
Empress Zhangsun also praised.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty and Your Majesty have no objections, then let's call it Nuan Tang! I will personally invest 20,000 strings of cash, and these two days, I will also use Datang Daily to gather the rich folk to donate money, and strive to let all the poor people in Chang 'an City be able to use coal stoves and burn coal before the New Year! As for the other provinces and counties, time is too tight, I'm afraid there won't be enough time this year! "
Empress Zhangsun hurriedly said, "Since I'm the president, how can I not contribute money? Marquis Yong 'an, I will take out 3,000 strings of cash to use for the Nuan Tang Foundation ~! "
She thought that with some of her own private money and some gold and silver jewelry, she should be able to gather 3,000 strings of cash!
The virtuous Empress Zhangsun never thought of letting Li Er use the national treasury or the palace treasury's money for personal matters.
Li Er waved his hand and said, "Guanyin servant, there's no need for that. I'll take 5,000 strings of cash from the palace treasury and donate it to the Nuan Tang Foundation in your name!"
After that, he turned to Li Zexuan and said, "Marquis Yong 'an, I have no objections if you want to establish the Nuan Tang Foundation to do good deeds! I also believe that with your personality, you won't embezzle the donations, but you have to control your subordinates, my money isn't that easy to take! "
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll be careful! I'll make sure that every donation of the Nuan Tang Foundation is properly spent! "
As a modern person, he knew better than anyone how important honesty and fairness were to a charity foundation! The incident with a certain Meimei in his previous life had directly lowered the social credibility of a certain Ten Word Association to a freezing point!
"Mm! That's for the best! "
Li Er said faintly. Seeing that there was nothing else here, Empress Zhangsun said goodbye to Li Er and left.
In the hall, only the two of them were left.
Li Er clasped his hands behind his back. After a long time, he said slowly, "You little brat! I'll tell you one more time, I'm not Liu Bang, and you're not Han Xin! "
After saying this sentence that had no head or tail, Li Er snorted and left in a huff!
It was obvious that he was very unhappy!
"Sigh! I'm just too lazy to mess around! Otherwise, even if you're Liu Bang, I'll still be able to pull you down! "
Li Zexuan curled his lips as he fantasized in his heart.
He understood what Li Er meant, but he didn't regret doing so, because he was a person who didn't like trouble in his bones! However, just because he didn't like trouble didn't mean that he was afraid of trouble. Just as he thought, if Li Er was really an emperor like Liu Bang, who killed meritorious officials, he, Li Zexuan, wouldn't just sit and wait for death! Whoever didn't let him have a good life, he wouldn't let them have a good life!
