Long live the best

He slammed the table hard and asked, "Where did the remaining [-]% of the food go?"

Hearing this, the ministers quickly quieted down.

His complexion changed slightly, as if he had touched some taboo, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore.

Only Gu Chuntang, the prime minister with a clean sleeve, dared to speak.

"Your Majesty, the remaining [-]% of the small head is in the hands of the country gentry and rich families, while the big head is in the hands of the aristocratic families and nobles."

Qin Yun sneered!

Damn it, the imperial court takes [-]% to [-]%, and the aristocratic family gets nearly [-]%. Who is the official family and who is the system?

"Why do they take so much?"

"Robbery?"

Hearing this, the faces of the officials suddenly changed!

Some of them dare not speak out, and some are officials from aristocratic families, how could they say something bad about themselves?

What scares them the most is that His Majesty is not satisfied!

A third-rank official stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this has been the case since ancient times."

"This rule has not changed since the late Emperor reigned, including your succession."

Qin Yun looked at him with a smirk: "Then, the aristocratic family is above the imperial court?"

"Or should I apologize for what I said and did just now?"

The third-rank minister was frightened and immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has absolutely no such intention!"

"It's just that at the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty, the great families and clans gave great support to Gaozu, almost to the point of selling iron in frying pans, and the land was the reward that Gaozu bestowed on the big clans, and it was a personal item."

"It's not right to talk about this now, is it..."

He didn't dare to finish the sentence, but everyone knew what it meant.

Immediately afterwards, several ministers expressed their views.

"Your Majesty, this is a practice, not corruption and hegemony, please be aware of it."

"That's right, the old minister is from the Li family in Longyou, but the humble minister is innocent!"

"What's wrong with me? For the sake of the common people's well-being, the big clans even took the initiative to give up the land to the tenants, and only took part of what they deserved..."

"..."

Seeing ministers stand up one after another, although Qin Yun was upset, he refuted unreasonably.

Because what they said is indeed true!

Gu Chuntang, these noble sons from a poor family, are in high positions, so they can only keep silent when they hear these words.

These privileges were indeed granted by the emperors of the past dynasties, and they have already been branded into the bones of this country.

In other words, bad words.

After the waves are gone, after a hundred years, the Great Xia Dynasty may not be there, but the powerful and nobles are still there!

Qin Yun pinched the center of his brows weakly, and compromised: "If that's the case, then buy it, and use the money from the treasury to buy it."

"Contact the powerful families and say that I want food!"

His eyes turned cold, and his tone became more serious: "Please raise your hands high and sell me some food!!"

He bit the last sentence to death.

After finishing speaking, he walked away with a flick of his sleeves, his face as cold as the icy moon.

Seeing his expression and hearing those heartbreaking words, the eyelids of all the officials twitched.

Especially those ministers who came from aristocratic backgrounds, their faces were pale.

Your Majesty, I am angry!

After a stick of incense.

Royal study.

clap clap clap! !

Qin Yun dropped the teacup on the floor, making the maids and eunuchs inside and out trembling in fright.

Cabinet ministers, confidantes and generals are all here.

Everyone was silent, afraid to speak.

Especially those who are related to the powerful and nobles are even more afraid to speak.

"I want to take back Xiliang, I don't have enough food for a war, and I have to buy it from aristocratic families, do you think it's ironic?"

Everyone's face was terrified, and they didn't dare to answer.

a long time.

Guo Ziyun sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it has always been like this. The aristocratic families have mastered too many things in Daxia, far beyond what food and money can describe."

"Big Xia's prosperity must be pointed at them."

"According to the old minister, it is better..."

He hesitated.

Qin Yun frowned: "Why not?"

"It's better for your Majesty to hold a banquet, or accept the women of the nobles of the family as concubines, and reconcile with them. I think they are willing to pay food to support His Majesty's attack on Xiliang."

Hearing this, Qin Yun froze.

He didn't speak for a long time.

But in his eyes, there was an unyielding killing intent!
