Chapter 2262 Initiative

The soldiers of the Western Expedition Army are resting and reorganizing in Gumo Kingdom as scheduled, waiting to march at any time to conquer the black-clothed food, Tianzhu and Tianzhu.

Liu Mingzhi and a group of court and Chinese officials were also very busy with the request from the Wa kingdom.

The book stand was handed over to Liu Song to take care of it, and the fortune-telling stand hadn't set up to welcome customers again for seven or eight days.

It was another small court meeting, but a 'farce' was going on in the Palace of Qinzheng, which was supposed to be full of majesty.

Seven or eight officials were out of breath, holding on to Jiang Yuanming, Minister of the Household Department, whose face was flushed, and who was struggling desperately to hit the dragon pillar supporting the main hall.

"Jiang Shangshu, no, no, no."

"Master Jiang, life is precious, there is something to discuss, something to discuss!"

"Old Jiang, this is the court, looking for life and death like a shrew, what's the point?"

"Master Jiang, His Majesty didn't force you to."

First Young Master Liu glanced at a group of stunned envoys from various countries, panted heavily and patted the dragon case, and pointed angrily at a group of officials under the dragon platform who were pulling Lao Jiang hard.

"Let go of everything, isn't he going to show his ambition with death? Let him die, I still don't believe it, without him as the Minister of the Household Department, can the world still perish?
Dalong is the kingdom of heaven, and the envoys of various countries came to worship from thousands of miles away in order to express their respect to me and the court.

My Celestial Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and we always pay attention to etiquette and reciprocity.

The envoys of various countries have offered so many tributes, and I have granted their request in the letter of credence, and rewarded them with what they asked for, to show that the long grace of the Celestial Dynasty is not enough.

If you talk about it, you will have no money, if you talk about it, you will have no money.

In this world, this imperial court, your Ministry of Finance has the final say, or I have the final say.

It's fine if you don't agree with good words to persuade you, but now you dare to force him with death.

Who are you scaring?Am I intimidated?
Let him bump, he really dared to show his ambition with death, bumped to death on the court, I will make him the King of Loyalty and Righteousness. "

Jiang Yuanming, who was struggling to bump into the dragon pillar, suddenly stopped, and pointed at First Young Master Liu with a blemish on his face, his arms trembling: "Fun Lord, what about the Hun Lord!
The third batch of food and grass treasury of the Western Expeditionary Army still has no silver expenditures. Tongzhou and Xiangzhou have been hit by drought for three months, Lianzhou and Gongzhou have suffered floods in May, and Jianzhou, Shunzhou, and Kezhou have been plagued by locusts for several months, so that the people have no food. Harvest, starvation.

Millions of disaster victims are like newborn babies, waiting for the imperial court to provide disaster relief.

At this time, the national treasury is empty, and the emergency silver is exhausted, and there is still no disaster relief silver.

But you asked the old minister to take out 30 silver taels to cast soldiers to reward the Japanese embassy, ​​faint king, you are forcing the old minister to death.

Like you, a faint king who doesn't know how to be diligent and love the people, it doesn't matter if the old minister doesn't serve you.

No money, no life.

If His Majesty wants to continue to force, the old minister has no choice but to smash the dragon pillar to death to show his will.

Colleagues, you let go of this old man, it is this stupid king who keeps refusing to let this old man live again and again.

The old man has only one death. "

There were three muffled bangs, bang bang bang, recalling that in the Hall of Qinzheng, Young Master Liu pressed his palm on the dragon case, his face flushed, and he stared at Jiang Yuanming with gloomy eyes.

"Jiang Yuanming, who gave you the courage to call me a fool?"

"If you don't know how to be sympathetic to your ministers, if you can't shepherd the people well, what is it if you are not a faint king?"

"You—you are so courageous, come here, push the Minister of the Household Department Jiang Yuanming out of the palace gate and behead him for public display."

"Even if you kill the veteran, the treasury still has no money, and if you kill Jiang Yuanming alone, thousands of Jiang Yuanming will stand up.

The veteran is not afraid, the veteran is not afraid! "

"Jiang Yuanming, this is your own begging for death, so don't blame me for not thinking of the feelings of the emperor and ministers, come here, push it out!"

Ministers of the Ministry of War and Ministers of the Ministry of Industry came out in a hurry, raised their court wats and saluted Young Master Liu.

"Hold on, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Liu Mingzhi sat heavily on the dragon chair, panting and looking at Song Yu and Yang Tao.

"Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, are you going to intercede for Mr. Jiang who dared to insult me?"

"I dare not wait."

"The ministers dare not intercede for Jiang Shangshu, but beg His Majesty to think twice.

Now 40 troops have gone thousands of miles away to conquer the barbarians in the west. It has been several months and the treasury has been exhausted.

Your Majesty has generously rewarded the envoys of various countries in order to demonstrate my power in the sky. The old minister understands that Your Majesty is sympathetic to the kindness of the subordinate countries.

However, the grace of heaven is so great that it is not a reward all the way.

Your Majesty must not force to death the loyal elders of the three dynasties in order to reward the nations!

Otherwise, all officials will be chilled and all people will be sad. "

"The old minister seconded, please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Okay, I can spare him from dying, but within two days you must come up with a regulation for how to deal with this matter perfectly.

Otherwise, Jiang Yuanming, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, must launch Gongmenzai and behead him to show the public.

retreat. "

Young Master Liu flicked his sleeves, walked towards the back of the hall with a gloomy expression, not even leaving a chance for all the officials to see him off.

"Jiang Shangshu, why are you doing this? Your Majesty, he is also doing it for the face of my celestial dynasty. No matter how empty the national treasury is, you can always come up with some money."

"That's right, your majesty is the king, and we are ministers. If you don't leave any steps for your majesty, how can your majesty not be furious as an emperor?"

"Jiang Shangshu, please be soft. At worst, our colleagues will help you figure out a solution. This is not just a matter of rewarding the envoy, it is also about your life!"

"Old Jiang, you continue to be so stubborn"

The officials came to their senses and flocked to Jiang Yuanming to persuade him with good words.

Honglu Temple Minister Wang Hezheng coughed twice, and walked towards a group of envoys from different countries who were at a loss after reacting with a gloomy expression.

"Emissaries, please go back to Honglu Temple with me first, the court will soon be in trouble."

Sakai He and the others looked at each other in dismay for a while, nodded hurriedly, and followed Wang Hezheng towards the outside of the hall.

Wang He was taking the envoys of various countries for about two incense sticks after they left.

In the back hall of Qinzheng Hall, Young Master Liu was leaning on the door of the hall with tea in his hands, staring at Jiang Yuanming non-stop.

"Old Jiang, why do I feel that the words you scold me, an old man, are not acting, but more like your own words from the bottom of your heart?"

Jiang Yuanming, who was drinking tea, snorted, the tea came out of his nostrils, and looked at First Young Master Liu with an embarrassed expression.

"Ahem...Your Majesty, you can't slander the old minister out of thin air!"

Song Yu and Yang Tao laughed sullenly for a few times, watching Old Jiang's bewildered reaction without interjecting.

"Yes, you can scold if you want, as long as it doesn't reach my ears, I don't care if you scold me as much as you like."

"Don't dare, don't dare!

Even if the old minister had the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, he would not dare to curse His Majesty in secret. "

Liu Mingzhi tapped the teacup lightly with the tea cover, and glanced at Song Yu and the three of them: "I sent people to investigate secretly in the wing of Honglu Temple. Except for the gold, silver and jade wares and tributes that were tributed, each of the subordinate countries' Even in private, they also carried a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

Presumably, they all plan to buy some of our specialties in Fangshi, Beijing, and bring them back to the mainland, so as to make a fortune.

Especially the two national envoys of the Wa Kingdom.

On one side, they brought about 5 taels of gold, about 30 taels of silver, and various treasures.

What does this mean?
It shows that even if they can't get the reward from me, they will find a way to buy a large number of weapons from private iron shops and transport them back to the mainland to complete their independent missions.

It seems that the fish has already bit the hook, and whether it can be caught or not depends on Lao Wang's ability! "

Hearing First Young Master Liu's words, the eyes of the three of them lit up, and they looked like coins.

"Your Majesty, why don't the old minister and others rush to Honglu Temple to assist Lord Wang?"

"That's right. After acting for so long, I finally bit the hook. It would be a pity to run away again."

"The old minister seconded."

"Don't act like this, we are smart, and the Wa people are not fools.

The more impatient we are, the easier it is for them to see the flaws. If we want to get the gold and silver in the hands of the Japanese, we must proceed step by step and step by step.

In order to complete their own orders, they are more anxious than us.

What we have to do now is to respond to changes without change.

As long as you hang them, they can't run away.

After all, the initiative is not in our hands. "

"Your Majesty is right, the old minister lost his composure."

"Would you let all the one hundred swords and armors you build finish?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it was built three days ago, and it will be able to catch the Japanese people!"
