Waste prince: Why do you force me to be emperor?

"Veteran Li Jian, see Your Majesty!"

Li Jian paid respects to worship, and his movements are smooth and smooth, with extremely high standards, which can be called a model.

A smile appeared on Emperor Xia's majestic face: "Li Aiqing please get up!"

"Aiqing hurried back from Qingzhou, do you have something important to report to me face to face?"

In fact, before Li Jian entered the imperial capital, he had sent a secret report on the matter of Zongheng Patriarch, which made it very clear.

However, the mysterious disappearance of the new Qingzhou special envoy must be made clear in the court.

Otherwise, the unexplained disappearance of a special envoy of Qingzhou who is second only to the governor of Qingzhou will cause panic among the courtiers.

Moreover, there are some things that need to be said through the matter of Zongheng Patriarch!

"Yes!"

Li Jian got up and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the Qingzhou special envoy Zongheng Patriarch who accompanied the old minister to Qingzhou is not the real Zongheng Patriarch, but a thief!"

Emperor Xia said calmly: "You are really a thief?"

Li Jian echoed: "Your Majesty is wise, let him go to Qingzhou with the old minister, and he will be able to tell if it is true or not!"

Then, Li Jian told the compiled version of Zongheng Patriarch in the court hall.

His eloquence is better than that of novelists who are good at telling stories.

After listening.

The generals in the court were shocked!

"what?"

The generals asked in a voiceless voice: "Great master level, isn't it the end of martial arts?"

"Could it be that the end of martial arts is a half-step land god?"

The civil servants were also shocked!

Doctor Yushi said angrily: "This Rebirth Sect dares to deceive His Majesty and the court. It is simply abominable. I suggest that the Ministry of Officials send special personnel to arrest members of the Rebirth Sect within the empire!"

"Eliminate all the people who teach the Rebirth!"

Emperor Xia took advantage of the situation and said: "What Aiqing said is exactly what I want!"

"Where is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

"Chen is here!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials walked out of the courtiers with a dignified face: "Please show me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xia said in a deep voice: "The Rebirth Sect deceives the emperor, pass the order down, and the whole country will arrest you. If you find out that the members of the Sect will arrest you immediately, those who resist - kill!"

The murderous intent in Emperor Xia's language caused the temperature in Tianxia Hall to plummet!

"Yes!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials repeated solemnly: "Rebirth Sect members have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole country arrests them. Those who resist - kill!"

Finally, Emperor Xia put Rebirth Teaching on the bright side.

Start to use the power of the Great Xia court to strangle, instead of relying solely on the power of blood slaves.

At this time.

Emperor Xia gave Eunuch Wei a look.

Eunuch Wei immediately opened his throat and shouted: "If there is something to do, let's play, and if there is nothing to do, we will retreat!"

This is a signal to Shangshu Hubu!

Sure enough, the Minister of the Household Department shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

"allow!"

Hubu Shangshu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I just received urgent calls from various places. Due to natural disasters, this year's taxes may not be handed in on time and in quantity!"

"Even the new tax we just collected, officials from all over the country have reported that...the payment is not in full!"

"Now, the national treasury is empty, and the imperial court's salary for next month may not even be issued!"

"Your Majesty please decide!"

"what?"

As soon as Hubu Shangshu said this, the whole hall was in chaos!

"The imperial court can't even pay the salary?"

"How can this be done?"

"Master of the Household Department, how does your Household Department do things?"

The sturdy Niu Guogong stared at a pair of bull's eyes, and his voice was like a Hong Zhong: "Shangshu of the Household Department, the people of our family live on the monthly salary. ?"

"That's right!"

"If the Ministry of Households does not distribute salaries, we will have no money to buy food, we will be hungry, and we will have no energy to serve the country. Can you take this responsibility?"

"If you can't do it, let someone else be the secretary of the household department!"

"Correct!"

The officials were chattering, and the hall was full of voices.

at this time.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Xia watched all this coldly.

He is very clear that these people in the court are rarely born from poor families. Their families are all from powerful families, noble families, and powerful families. There are countless gold and silver in the treasury, and countless old grain in the grain depot. many.

How can you be hungry?

He also knows that these guys are relying on their power to occupy the empire's mines, good fields, and good forests!

Even if the imperial court never pays salaries, the Manchu officials will not drink the northwest wind.

There are still wine forests and meat ponds in their home, there are still singers like clouds, countless beauties, and singing and singing every night, which will not affect their luxurious life.

However, if the imperial court fails to pay the salary, the operation of the entire empire will stop, and the morale of the army and the people of Daxia will be in chaos.

At that time, the army will not be able to support them, and the army will be disbanded, and the army will also be disbanded. In the coming chaotic world, they will be slaughtered!

Therefore, there must be silver in the national treasury, and grain in the empire's granary, and the operation of the empire must not stop!

In the past few days, Emperor Xia has thought about many things!

First of all, Xiao Jiu must get it back to the court and put it in his palm to watch, so that he can feel at ease.

In the past few days, the matter of the Dao Discussion Conference in Huangzhou has been reported one by one.

Emperor Xia is a smart person. From all the secret reports, he saw that Huangzhou was exchanging the time of the Dao Discussion Conference for money!

He saw that Huangzhou was exchanging people who attended the Dao Conference for food!

Everyone who participated in the Dao Discussion Conference became the ones who brought food to the barren state!

Everyone who participated in the Dao Discussion Conference is both a buyer and a seller of the products of Huangzhou, so that the products of Huangzhou will no longer have to worry about selling!

He could see very clearly that the trade routes in Huangzhou had been fully opened, even if the prince suppressed it, it would be useless!

He really appreciates this son more and more!

He is now very convinced that even if the barren state is as chaotic as Xiaochunzi said, with frequent riots as mentioned in the Imperial City Secretary's Report.

However, now that the barren state has a labor force of one million, more barren state goods will be produced, and there will be a steady stream of money income, which can be exchanged for the grain transported by the merchants to support people.

Therefore, Thaksin believes that Xia Tian can control the situation in the barren state!

Everything in the barren state will soon be on track!

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia felt a little emotional!

Back then, everyone in the world thought that the barren state could not support millions of lowly people and refugees, and that there would be a large-scale riot in the barren state!

However, everyone in the world is wrong!

A discussion meeting forced his nine sons to activate the barren state's economy, open up business routes, and find a way out for the millions of lowly people and refugees in the barren state!

He is really relieved!

Xiao Jiu is really a person who dares to think, dare to do, and can do things well. He is really like him. Even if he is not a saint, he can be regarded as a genius in the world.

Therefore, the court needs him.

However, Emperor Xia also knew that even if Xia Tian was recalled to the court now, the distant water would not be able to quench his thirst.

The empire is so big, and even if he is allowed to be the right minister to govern, it may take time!

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia suddenly felt depressed: "Okay!"

Immediately, the hall was silent, and all the ministers put away their shrew postures and bowed their heads to listen respectfully!

"Minister of the Household Department, the imperial treasury must have silver, and the salaries of the court and the army must be paid!"

"Do you have any advice for the current situation?"

The Secretary of the Household Department knelt on the ground, and said with a look of lovelessness: "The old minister is incompetent, so I ask to resign from my old age and return to my hometown, so that capable people can be in charge of the household department of the empire, generate wealth for the court, and gather wealth for the empire!"

Next to him, the corner of Li Jian's mouth twitched meaningfully: "Shangshu of the Household Department, then who do you think can be qualified for the post of Minister of the Household Department?"

Immediately.

All the officials in Tianxia Palace lowered their heads.

To be honest, among the six ministers, the Minister of the Household Department has always been a favorite, a fat job, and countless people are fighting to get this position!

However, the post of Minister of the Ministry of Finance, which is empty in the treasury, is a big fire pit.

Whoever jumps in now will be burned to death!

Who dares to take over?

suddenly.

The Secretary of the Household Department turned around and pointed at Niu Guogong: "I think that Niu Guo has both public and moral talents, and his talents and talents are much better than the old ministers, so he can be qualified for the post of Minister of the Ministry of Households of the Empire."

Immediately.

Niu Guogong's face froze.

He wanted to cry: "Your Majesty, I am terrified!"

"You know that I'm not the material to be the Minister of the Household Department!"

at this time.

Those officials who were raving about Hubu Shangshu just now shrank their necks, knowing that the old guy Hubu Shangshu was out for revenge.

They regret it!

One by one silently prayed in their hearts: "Don't call his name!"

Otherwise, lose face?

At this time.

Emperor Xia glanced at the faces of all the courtiers: "The Minister of the Household Department said that he wants to return to his hometown. Among you, is there anyone who volunteered to be the Minister of the Household Department?"

"If there is, stand up!"

"At this time, I can stand up to share my worries and solve the empire's problems, and I will look at her differently!"

However, among all the important officials in the hall, no one stood up.

Although Emperor Xia had already expected the result, he still felt very disturbed and a little sad.

A long-lost feeling of powerlessness and frustration flooded his heart.

The last time he was so powerless was when the army of Sirius invaded the barren state and the court proposed to rescue the barren state, but no one dared to lead the army.

Emperor Xia's old hatred was aroused, and his face became more and more ugly: "Shangshu of the Household Department, except for Niu Guogong?"

"Who else do you recommend?"

Hubu Shangshu raised his eyelids: "Ninth Prince, the current king of Huangzhou!"

"I request Your Majesty to call the prince into the imperial capital to take up the position of right prime minister, and be responsible for leading the minister to solve the affairs of the treasury!"

"what?"

As soon as this remark came out, Shi Shi was shocked!

The whole hall was shocked!

The courtiers' eyes shot brightly, and they raised their heads one by one, confirming each other with their eyes: "Who did the old fellow Hubu Shangshu say to call back?"

Are you talking about the king of Huangzhou?

Is he crazy?

What does he want to do?
