The emperor was really angry.

As an emperor, he couldn't do whatever he wanted, and the aggrieved feeling of being restrained by several big families all the time became stronger again.

They also spy on his every word and deed!
He summoned his confidants, including Liu Kuang and Xie Ding (Xie Ying's father), and planned to recruit 20 troops to build an army under his complete control.

Xie Ding objected: "Your Majesty, there is no fighting at the border now, so there is absolutely no need for conscription!"

Emperor: "There is no war now, can you guarantee that there will be no war in the future? Which dynasty is not like this?"

"However, raising troops requires a huge expenditure." Xie Ding added, "The national treasury is not enough—"

"This is not something you should worry about, Duke Ding!" Liu Kuang said at this time, "Since the emperor has made a decision, we as courtiers only need to implement it."

Xie Ding frowned: "As a subject, it is my duty to speak faithfully to the emperor! There is a garrison at the border, and Baihou's Iron Armored Army can provide support at any time. Even if the Northern Dynasty suddenly launches a war, we can still deal with it! There is no need for us to— —”

"Liu Kuang is right!" The emperor interrupted Xie Ding, "You don't have to think about the treasury. Xie Ding, you are responsible for drawing up a training plan for me. Liu Kuang, I will leave the recruitment and purchase of military supplies to you."

Liu Kuang's eyes lit up: "Yes!"

After they broke up, the emperor took Liu Kuang to the inner treasury, intending to give him 5000 taels of gold to buy military supplies.

Liu Kuang followed behind the emperor with a serious expression on his face, and his slightly messy footsteps revealed his excitement.

The key to the treasury for Bai Xianyuan's dowry was once given out, and there was a problem with the lock during that time, which prevented the other key from opening the treasury door.

So after getting the treasure at that time, the emperor asked someone to change the door.

Only he has the key.

After opening the storeroom door, the emperor sent people to count the gold.

However, the person who went in told him when he came out that the boxes were all empty and there was no gold.

The emperor was startled, went in to look, and looked at several boxes in a row, but they were all empty.

He clearly remembered that every box inside was filled with gold and treasures.

He ordered more boxes to be opened.

All empty.

Everything in the entire library is gone, except for some boxes!
The emperor didn't come up in one breath and passed out.

……

The inner treasury was stolen, causing an uproar in the court.

After the emperor woke up, he asked people to investigate hoarsely. The inner treasury was in the inner courtyard of the palace. There were heavy guards and the strongest locks in the world. How did so many things get stolen?
It was later found out that a tunnel had been dug under it, leading directly to the outside of the palace.

……

The emperor fell ill, and Bai Xianyuan was called into the palace, saying that he was going to serve the sick.

After going there, I saw a mage dancing the Great God.

The queen, Wu Mi and a group of concubines knelt on both sides.

The sorcerer muttered some incomprehensible words after the dance, and then said that the emperor was hit by a dark star, and the emperor needed the eldest son and daughter-in-law to kneel in front of the emperor's bed to pray for blessings, so that the emperor could recover.

The queen's face changed when she heard that, and she said to the mage, "That's impossible! The princess is pregnant! How can you kneel before the emperor's bed?"

"The princess is in good health, so why can't she kneel down?" Wu Mi said, "Or is it that the princess is more valuable than the emperor in the heart of the queen?"

The queen's face was ugly: "I don't mean that!"

Wu Mi looked at Bai Xianyuan: "Crown Princess, did you hear what the mage said just now? Hurry up and pray for the emperor."

I was too sleepy last night, I missed a chapter in the middle and didn't send it out
