u smiled."Anything changed"Li Yinhu couldn't figure it out. They were both his subordinates, but the gap between Long Huaiyu, whom he had recruited himself, and Zhou Pingan, whom Li Chen had recruited...Chapter 653 Money Doesn't Matter

If your Highness forgets, wouldn't all of this have been in vain

He Kun's words made the three people nod in agreement.

"Sir He, you've already taken the first place. We wanted to present something nice, but we're just powerless." An official said with a bitter face.

He Kun shook his head and said, "You're wrong. If it's about being better off, even if you are good, can you be better than those kings and ministers Their homes are filled with rare treasures, something we could never compare to."

But you must think, Your Highness, why would he do this Isn't it to see the filial piety of the people below

“A wealthy merchant, with a fortune amassed from his business, offers one hundred taels of silver. A commoner, pooling all his meager savings, contributes only ten taels. Tell me, which holds more weight for the Prince Do you truly believe the Prince desires your money”

He Kun looked up at Xi Zhengdian with admiration and bowed, saying: "Your Highness is truly a person of great talent and vision, far surpassing ordinary people like us. What Your Highness wants to see is who among the court officials has filial piety towards you. But filial piety is something invisible and intangible; how can anyone know who truly possesses it in their daily lives"

"Even if you talk until you're blue in the face, and your lips bleed from speaking so much, it's still just a few words."

"Now that His Highness has given you such a good opportunity, you must certainly do your best and show your filial piety to Him."

"If Your Highness knew that you have exhausted yourselves just to make Your Highness smile, with such filial piety, would Your Highness possibly forget you In the future, if Your Highness needs people, wouldn't there be opportunities for you"

Having heard about Hekun's eloquent tongue, the three immediately felt enlightened, as if they had received a sudden jolt of clarity.

That middle-aged official immediately gritted his teeth and said, "I'll scrounge up some more."

"I am too."

"I still have some savings at home!"

Looking at the three people's successive declarations, He Kun finally said: "That's right, remember, Your Highness cares about isn't the money or treasures you bring. No matter how much you have, can it compare to Your Highness What Your Highness values is your filial piety."

Thank you for your advice, Mr. He!

That middle-aged official bowed deeply, expressing his gratitude: “We will never forget this. We will certainly repay you in the future.”

The most distant time in this world is next time, and the most elusive is another day. This "he day" has a similar meaning to the previous two words.

So He Kun must have been full of hot air.

But a smile of contentment played on his face as he shook his head and said, "No need, no need. We are both servants of the court, and it is our duty to help each other."

After seeing off the three grateful people and urging them to hurry back and raise money, before He Kun could return, another group of people arrived outside the East Palace.

These people were pulling a carriage, and at first glance, it was clear that it contained valuable gifts. He Kun immediately smiled and went up to greet them.

"My lord, this is what His Highness wishes to see. It's our filial piety..."

......

When Li Chen learned about He Kun's shameless actions from others, he was both amused and exasperated.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with what He Kun did.

He only cares about the results, not how the people below him achieve their goals.

He Kun's move clearly worked very well.

Seeing Xu Changqing with a furrowed brow and a troubled expression complaining, he knew.

"Your Highness, that He Kun is simply unfilial! Just because I couldn't offer him a decent gift, he ignored me completely and treated me like nothing. He's so shallow!" military officials all look up to you. Therefore, for this matter, I still need to ask Senior Advisor for your approval first before continuing to push forward."Here it is!Zhao Xuanji's eyebrows furr...
