Time flies in a blink of an eye, and soon it will be the autumn harvest season.

In the past year, the Great Yuan Kingdom has experienced a severe drought, and the number of times it has rained can be said to be very few.The fertile fields are dry, the lakes are drying up, the water level of the rivers has dropped, and the few small rivers are also mixed with yellow mud that is difficult to separate.

The people in the north of the Great Yuan Kingdom heard that there are many rivers in the south and there is no shortage of water. In order to avoid harsh taxes, the people began to move their families to the south. For a while, the cities in the north were in chaos.

The common people in the north have abandoned their fields and fled. The soil in the fields is dry and cracked, and the few seedlings left are also withered and dead.

The south of the Great Yuan Kingdom is not much better.Because a large number of victims flooded into the southern city, the southern city was once in chaos, and even some violent victims joined forces to burn, kill, and loot. enter.

However, the city cannot be entered, but the surrounding villages can still be accessed.As a result, many villages in the south suffered devastating looting, and the good land was occupied by foreign disaster victims in partnership, and the disaster victims joined forces to attack each other in an attempt to occupy more land and become new landowners.

For a moment, the Great Yuan Kingdom was truly in dire straits.

The Imperial City of the Great Yuan Kingdom.

On the surface, the imperial city is still a thriving scene.In the palace, there are singing and dancing every day, and singing and dancing every night.

Huo Jinye ate the top delicacies in the palace, and the tax money collected every month was used to buy good wine and meat imported from the Western Regions, splendid silk and satin, and precious utensils.Because there was a precedent of Huo Jinyu spending millions of dollars to buy the courtesan of a brothel, Huo Jinye thought he could not admit defeat, so he also followed Huo Jinyu's example, raising different brothels every day, and spending a lot of money to buy the courtesan or girls. In the early night, he even used tax money to redeem the bodies of several oirans, brought them into the palace, and returned them to the position of imperial concubine.

This move made a group of veterans so angry that they vomited blood.However, the real bloodbath is yet to come.

At the beginning of September, in the court.

Huo Jinye leaned on the dragon chair as if he had no bones, supported his head with his right hand, and yawned occasionally. It seemed that it was another night of Spring Festival and he had no rest.

The old officials in the audience looked at this scene with heartache, and they all sighed, and said straight in their hearts, now that the former emperor Huo Jinyu's life and death are unknown, and the new emperor Huo Jinye is unable to support the wall, the Huo family is afraid that there will be no successors up.

In the past, all the senior ministers still had a grudge against Huo Jinyu's behavior, but now with Yuanye Emperor Huo Jinye making a comparison, it highlights Huo Jinyu's goodness.When Huo Jinyu was in power, although he was also careless, nothing went wrong, but what about this one in front of him?Indulging in female sex, spending money like water, and... still owed her salary!

Indulging in women, they endured it.Splurging money like water, they put up with it.They played and sang every night, and they endured it.But what is absolutely unbearable is that Huo Jinye defaulted on their salary!

No one wants to have trouble with money!

Huo Jinye's attitude is very strange. He has been unwilling to distribute the salary for two months. Originally, the Household Department was in charge of taxation and salary, but Huo Jinye snatched it away. Since Huo Jinye ascended the throne, the Household Department Minister Li Wenjie couldn't even step into the treasury, and couldn't even touch the treasury. Huo Jinye ordered heavy troops to guard the treasury, so even a fly couldn't get close to it.

This made Li Wenjie extremely aggrieved, he is not the Minister of the Household Department!Ah fall!

Delaying the salary for two months, this is a big deal!Seeing that the third month was almost over, there was still no movement from Huo Jinyu.The ministers were very anxious.

Director Lu stood behind Huo Jinye with peace of mind. Whether the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Huo Jinye would pay him or not, had nothing to do with him. Every time he traveled with Huo Jinye, Huo Jinye would reward him with a lot of money. Therefore, Mr. Lu is probably the only one who is least short of money in the palace.Besides, that person also told me that the more chaotic the palace, the better, and it is best if it is a miasma of chaos, so Director Lu always persuaded Huo Jinye to go to the brothel to "listen to the music", and he also gave Huo Jinye his opinion on the girl. Jin Ye came up with a lot of ideas, so he was deeply loved by Huo Jinye, and the palace, as the man said, began to become a mess.

Manager Lu: Hidden achievements and fame...

In the court hall, all the officials greeted Huo Jinye, and after getting the order, they got up one after another.

"If you have something to do, you can leave the court if you have nothing to do." Huo Jinye said lazily.He was still thinking about the concubines in the harem, and when he thought of the beautiful scene at night, an evil fire couldn't help rising from his stomach.He couldn't wait to pamper his concubines.

Hearing this perfunctory remark from Emperor Yuan Ye who had nothing to do, the ministers were all very angry. Now that they have gone to court, they can't wait to go down. Do they really treat them like air?They should be happy that Huo Jinye is at least willing to go to court for a while?

"Chen, I have something to play!" Li Wenjie, Minister of the Household Department, took a step forward and said loudly.

"What's the matter with Li Aiqing?" Huo Jinye frowned slightly. He was not only anxious to see his concubine, but even more impatient with Shangshu Shangshu.

Because he is guilty.

Li Wenjie, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, hesitated for a moment, but he still said it out, "I beseech you, Your Majesty, please allow me to go to the treasury to distribute salaries to all the ministers! I have not received my salary for almost three months!"

Well, it really is this matter!Huo Jinyu frowned so much that he could almost pinch a fly to death.It really wasn't a good thing for the Minister of the Household Department to open his mouth, and it just hit Huo Jinye's sore foot!

Huo Jinye was silent, not knowing how to answer him, all the ministers in the court looked at him with hope, Huo Jinye only felt unprecedented pressure.

"You don't need to worry about your majesty, the minister will release it." Li Wenjie, the minister of the household department, looked at Huo Jinye strangely. How much gold and silver treasures are there? Huo Jinye has only been on the throne for less than a year. No matter how much he wastes, it will not cost much. This Emperor Yuan Ye does not need to hide it. Just say what you want, why default Their salary of nearly three months? !

Could it be that Emperor Yuan Ye was still worried that his subjects would blame him?

Huo Jinye can't find any excuses now.The ones that can be used have already been used in the past, and he still thinks that he can drag it out for a day and just muddle along.But I didn't expect this day to come so early.

In fact, Huo Jinye has already increased taxes. Logically speaking, the monthly tax bills in this huge country are a lot of money, but Huo Jinye can't stand it.Huo Jinye sits and eats mountains and sky, leading to the embarrassing situation of not being able to step down.

"My lord?" Li Wenjie called out cautiously.

"I'm listening! Stop yelling." Huo Jinye rubbed his head with his hands because of the headache, it seemed that he had to face reality.This...he didn't even have the most important money, and the army's expenditure was almost unbearable. In fact, the country he controlled was already crumbling and out of control.

I don't know what the ministers in the court will think.

"Director Lu, take the Secretary of the Ministry of Accounts to the treasury." Huo Jinye waved his hand with a headache and ordered Director Lu.

Director Lu has been by Huo Jinye's side for so long, and he knows what happened to Huo Jinye the most. The poor in the treasury can starve to death even a mouse, so he is also clear, "My lord, this..." Manager Lu hesitated, pretending to be thinking of Huo Jinye.

Seeing Huo Jinye, he felt a little more at ease. Yes, he still has Manager Lu. Manager Lu is so smart. He must discuss it with Manager Lu after he comes down.

"Director Lu, you don't need to say more, just go." Huo Jinye made up his mind to face the reality.

Li Wenjie, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, and followed Director Lu to the treasury with a confused look on his face.

After receiving the emperor's order, the soldiers guarding the treasury all moved out of the way, followed by the opening of the gate of the treasury, passing through the long corridor dotted with ever-burning lights, and then arriving at the empty treasury.

Li Wenjie:? ? ? ! ! !

He was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

The civil and military officials waited anxiously in the hall, waiting for a result, and then they saw Li Wenjie, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, hurriedly followed Director Lu back with a dark face as if he had eaten a cake.

Li Wenjie, Minister of the Household Department, knelt down on the ground with a "plop" when he came back, "My Majesty! I don't understand what's going on?" Li Wenjie kowtowed, waiting for Huo Jinye's explanation.

Huo Jinye slammed the table hard with his fist, and said, "I don't understand what's going on, but I found out the day I became the throne." !Huo Jinyu!This damn Huo Jinyu!It must have been Huo Jinyu's tricks in advance to evacuate all the treasury!

Civil and military officials looked at the scene in amazement, completely unaware of what happened, please tell!

"Your Majesty! The emptiness of the national treasury is a big deal! Why don't you tell the officials!" Li Wenjie knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth.

"Presumptuous!" Huo Jinye slapped the table violently, and the tea came out, "Do I still need to report to you, a mere courtier? If it wasn't for Huo Jinyu, the damn old fox emptied the treasury, and I didn't even You don't have to be so miserable!" Huo Jinye said bitterly.

Empty treasury? ? ?Huo Jinyu emptied the treasury? ? ?

Civil and military officials felt as if they were hit in the heart by a heavy hammer.If the former emperor Huo Jinyu emptied the treasury, wouldn't that mean that the current Great Yuan Kingdom is as poor as a dog? !

"Report to Your Majesty! The emptiness of the national treasury is such a big deal, why didn't you explain it to the ministers?!" An old minister stepped forward and asked loudly.

"My lord! The treasury is empty. Since my lord has increased taxes, why can't I even pay out the salary?" A slightly younger minister came out, and the young and vigorous he directly brought the scandal to the surface.

"Report to the Holy Majesty! Since the Holy Majesty knows that the treasury is empty, why didn't he make a plan earlier, but he still sings every night and sings and dances every day?!" A highly respected veteran directly came forward to criticize.

"Your Majesty..." Another minister came out, but was interrupted viciously by Huo Jinye before he could finish speaking.

"Enough! Shut up! " Huo Jinye patted the table, his hands were red, and he was shaking with anger.

"Who gave you the courage to talk about me like this?!" Huo Jinye couldn't listen to the doubts and accusations of the officials.

"I dare you! Your Majesty should really wake up, don't be addicted to women! Don't go to brothels and other dirty places again! Don't spend money like water!" An old veteran stood up and accused Huo Jinye road.

"I said it! Shut up!" The more Huo Jinye listened, the more impatient he became. Was it wrong for him to exercise the rights that a man should have?His ears were full of the words of those old ministers accusing him, and his head was about to explode, "Come on, let me drag him down, and he will be punished fifty times!"

Huo Jinye's sudden attack was beyond everyone's expectation. Yes, he is an emperor on both sides, and has a bad temper. How could he resist such accusations from his courtiers?

So, under the astonished eyes of everyone, the respected old minister was dragged down by the guards.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" The ministers knelt down one after another.

"Please, Your Majesty, be merciful!"

"Think twice, holy man!"

The ministers all prayed for the old minister, but Huo Jinye was determined to kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey.Until the board was finished outside, the old minister could only breathe out but not breathe in.

The court meeting was dismissed in such a hasty way, and the ministers were at a loss. The new emperor turned out to be such a violent emperor, which was unexpected by everyone.

The ministers left the court with lingering fear, and walked to their homes one after another. They had to discuss countermeasures with their families.

Only Zhen Guo General Hou Yuwen secretly went to Huo Jinye's bedroom.

Hou Yuwen: Huo Jinye, I want you to be happy!

Huo Jinye: Meow meow?I treat you like a brother, but you actually think...
