The Minister of Hubu was a close minister of the emperor. He spent more time dealing with the emperor than these people, so he naturally understood the emperor's temper better than they did.

If he had followed the methods he used when he first ascended the throne, no one present would have survived. When a tyrant acts, he often sheds rivers of blood.

But things are different now.

The Minister of Revenue pointed to the account book on the table and said calmly: "If Your Majesty wants to pursue the case, this account book will not be in my hands, but in Dali Temple."

The man frowned: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"

The Secretary of the Household Department rolled his eyes: "What else can it mean? Of course it's money."

The man: "..."

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, someone said hesitantly: "Sir, why don't you... give it to Your Majesty? It seems that Your Majesty has made up his mind and will not change it easily. If we are so disobedient to the Holy Will, if we really will Your Majesty is in a hurry, and I'm afraid there will be no good fruits to eat."

Shangshu Hube's eyes widened, his voice was a bit stern, and he said angrily: "You guys know nothing!"

"Don't you know what your Majesty is going to do with the money and food?"

No one who can hang out in the officialdom is a real fool.

His Majesty transferred General Chen to the border as early as half a year ago, and then soon transferred Princess Chen Yuan to the border.

When the envoys entered Beijing, they were first besieged and then placed under house arrest. Everything was so abnormal.

No matter how stupid everyone is, they can still see that His Majesty is now thinking of starting a war.

The young man from before thought for a moment, and then said softly: "Our Majesty has means and ambitions, and it is understandable that he wants to do this. What's more, for so many years, we have been losing money and food every year, and we have to catch up with someone. Princess, the other party is really bullying us. If we win this battle, we will be able to change our ways of being weak and proud. Not only that, the people at the border will also be able to live and work in peace and contentment, without having to suffer any more.”

The Minister of Hube glanced at him sideways and said calmly: "What if we lose this battle?"

The man remained silent.

The Minister of Hubu snorted coldly: "If we lose this battle, we will pay more money and food, and marry the princess. At that time, we will lose both my wife and our troops!"

"Not only that, the national treasury has been squandered, and it will be really difficult to move forward at that time."

"The things in the treasury have been accumulated for so long. I finally have some savings. If I give them all to His Majesty, he will give them to Huo Huo after a few battles. Where will I collect money and food?"

Others, you look at me and I look at you. For a long time, you couldn't find the words to refute.

The Minister of Hubu walked to one side and sat down, frowning tightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty wants to fight, and I really want to support it, but once the war starts, it will waste people and money, and the outcome is uncertain. How can I dare to take these things?" joke?"

One of them whispered: "But, your Majesty has made up his mind. Your Majesty, you have been holding back, and your Majesty will not let it go. Just like the account book this time, this is already a warning to us."

"How could I not know?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance snorted angrily, "He is forcing me to take the money."

The man looked at him cautiously: "So, how should we deal with it?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue stared at the account book. The more he looked at it, the more angry he became. He scolded everyone: "If you were more careful and attentive, how could your Highness find out about it?"
