Go crazy, my court is all treacherous

Chapter 88

Ding Bangyan is the deputy general of General Qi Jiguang. When he went to court yesterday, he reported that Japanese pirates were disturbing the people and came to the court from the coast to ask for help.

The downtrodden general stood up among the hundreds of officials.

"The minister is..."

"Yesterday you said you wanted 20 taels of silver, 5000 navy troops, and [-] long swords?" Lu Yan verified the other party's needs.

Ding Jianyan knelt on the ground: "Exactly..."

Lu Yan nodded: "The Japanese pirates are the confidant of my building...I will give you 50 taels of silver, [-] long knives, and allow General Qi to recruit sailors along the coast..."

"I have given Qi Jiguang the power of life and death. For coastal merchants who collude with wandering warriors, Qi's army can kill them first and then report them..."

Ding Jianyan originally thought that the court could not afford so much silver, but he did not expect that in just one day, 20 taels turned into 50 taels...

Not only that, the emperor was also very aware of the situation along the coast and knew that coastal merchants were obstructing the resistance against the Japanese, so he directly gave the Qi family army the power of life and death...

Ding Jianyan kowtowed and said, "Thank you Lord for your kindness..."

Lu Yan nodded. The Japanese pirates must be eliminated, but he still cannot control the entire court and fight against the Japanese pirates wholeheartedly.

Otherwise, he must send a charioteer to fight in person, fight across the sea, and fight directly to the island.

"Stop kneeling, stand up. After the morning court, go to the treasury to collect the silver."

"I am waiting for the good news that your class teacher will return to the court..."

Ding Jianyan wiped his tears and said movedly: "I will definitely live up to His Majesty's instructions..."

At this time, an official standing in the front row stood up.

Lu Yan went through it in his memory.

This person is his Prime Minister Qin Hui...

The treacherous officials of the Song Dynasty...

The culprit who killed Yue Fei...

He is the leader of the capitulation faction.

This man's crimes are too numerous to describe. People carved his statue as a kneeling sinner for future generations to revil...

Now, Qin Hui is his prime minister and also the official minister, the head of the six departments.

Lu Yan cursed this person 100 times in his heart...

As expected, none of my ministers are good...

He stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is vacant, and it is difficult for the six ministries to cooperate and turn around. Please confirm the candidate for the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

What Qin Hui said makes sense.

Lu Yan asked all the officials: "Who do you think is capable to take up the post of Minister of the Household Department?"

All the officials discussed it one after another.

Lu Yan did not interfere. He took Xiao Chunzi's teacup and tasted it carefully.

After 5 minutes, Baiguan's voice gradually dropped.

Lu Yan put down his cup and smiled. It seemed that the discussion had concluded.

"Tell me, who do you recommend?"

Qin Hui immediately said: "Your Majesty, after discussion among the ministers, we unanimously recommend Cai Jing, the minister of the Ministry of Hubu, to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Hubu."

Hearing the word Cai Jing, Lu Yan almost spit out blood.

Cai Jing was a corrupt official during the Northern Song Dynasty. He was worshiped as the prime minister and was nicknamed "the leader of the six thieves".

This man pretended to be a public servant and benefited for his own benefit. He amassed money extensively and was as rich as the country. He also owned 50 acres of land.

If this was not enough, Cai Jing falsified accounts, received double the prime minister's salary, and built a luxurious garden that surpassed the emperor's East Garden...

At this moment, in Lu Yan's heart, ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past.

He Shen has just been killed, and if Cai Jing comes up again, the atmosphere in the court will still be as dirty.

This is unacceptable to Lu Yan...

Moreover, at this time, Cai Jing had already become the Minister of Household Affairs, and he should have made a lot of money...

We have to find an opportunity to kill him...

Lu Yan shook his head and directly denied Qin Hui's words.

"Although Cai Jing is very talented, he has evil intentions. Therefore, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will be eliminated. It is better to leave it vacant for now..."

Qin Hui was an old fox who was very observant. When he found out that Lu Yan was dissatisfied, he immediately kneeled down.

"Your Majesty is right. The national treasury is [-] million taels of silver. I also feel that Cai Jing cannot control it..."

"It's better to let me take charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs for the time being. I will do it."

When Qin Hui said this, the ministers in the court all started to boo.

"No, no, no, the Prime Minister has three positions in one person, so how much money can there be..."

"I object to the Prime Minister taking charge. If the Prime Minister can do it, I, a general, can do it too..."

"Haha, I'm laughing so hard. It turns out that the Prime Minister is confronting Cai Jing just to get himself in trouble..."

"Your Majesty, please keep your eyes open. Cai Jing has evil intentions, but Qin Hui is not a good bird either..."

Without Lu Yan opening his mouth, Baiguan was behind Qin Hui, poking him in the spine.

When Qin Hui saw the officials' heated remarks, he immediately smiled to relieve his embarrassment and continued: "Actually, I saw that the atmosphere in the court was too solemn and wanted to make everyone laugh. This is not true..."

Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh. No wonder this old fox was a favorite and could tell jokes.

But he doesn't like it.

Qin Hui continued: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to report..."

"Tell me, tell me all the fun things you have to do to make everyone happy."

Lu Yan didn't think that ivory could come out of a dog's mouth, so he only regarded his words as a joke.

Qin Hui said: "Now that the national treasury is full, the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast are disturbing the people, just for money. Why doesn't your majesty give them the 50 taels?"

"This can reduce the casualties of the Qi family army, and also allow the Japanese pirates to feel His Majesty's grace. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Qin Hui was indeed a capitulator.

As soon as he said this, some officials who were afraid of war all agreed.

When Lu Yan heard this, his whole face darkened.

It seems that we have to find an opportunity to kill Qin Hui too...

This kind of capitulation is not in line with his style...

Anyone who offends our Qiang Xia will be punished no matter how far away...

There is no reason to surrender and give away money...

Feeling the anger coming from Lu Yan, everyone in the civil and military court fell silent.

"Japanese pirates are barbarians who are afraid of power but not moral..."

"To deal with Japanese pirates, we can only defeat them..."

"If anyone again says that he wants to give money to the Japanese pirates for peace, I will rip off his head and give it to the Japanese pirates..."

Every word Lu Yan said was said through gritted teeth.

Deterrent.

All the civil and military officials immediately knelt down: "I will remember the emperor's teachings carefully..."

Qin Hui broke out in cold sweat. He had already felt Lu Yan's murderous intention towards him...

He, a civil servant with no real power, would never be able to withstand the emperor's anger...

Qin Hui wiped his sweat, and his liver and gallbladder almost burst when he thought that he was going to follow He Shen's old path.

Lu Yan also understood that now was not the time to attack civil servants.

Military first and then literary is the current strategy.

So I didn't delve into Qin Hui's affairs.

"I'm tired, let's retreat."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

Lu Yan and Xiao Chunzi walked to Cining Palace.

According to the custom, after attending the morning court, I have to go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother.

Lu Yan was thinking about what was going to happen next as he walked.

There are advantages and disadvantages to having your extremely strong strength exposed.

The advantage is that it can intimidate the government and the public, consolidate the authority of the emperor, and convince all officials.

There are also disadvantages.

Before this, all the officials colluded for personal gain, plundered the people's fat and anointed people, and committed all kinds of evil.

The so-called country is easy to change, but nature is difficult to change.

After the imperial power was consolidated, these people did not dare to make trouble openly, but they continued to do whatever they were supposed to do behind the scenes.From being in the open to being in the dark, it would be a little troublesome to deal with them in the future.

The most important thing is that Emperor Zhu ignored him and his attitude towards him changed...

When the imperial power was in decline and Lu Yan had no strength or means, the Tiedan Shenhou was a major force protecting the imperial power.

Now Lu Yan is an extremely strong man and has shown brilliant strategies and methods.

Tiedan Shenhou has already felt the crisis...

In the court just now, the Tiedan Shenhou was no longer as calm as usual, but was paying more attention than ever before.

This person has far-reaching plans, so be careful.

He now had to prepare for the worst.

Zhao Gao promised to catch Black and White Xuanjian within five days. Five days should be enough for Black and White Xuanjian to break through.

I wonder what Zhao Gao will give him as a commission in five days?

If he randomly found a scapegoat, Lu Yan would not agree.

If Zhao Gao and Hei Bai Xuanjian join forces and two extremely powerful men attack him together, then he will be in danger.

So these five days are also a buffer period for Lu Yan.

He plans to teach Dugu Nine Swords to the three great secret agents of the universe.

Then teach the powerful Nine Yin Manual to the little Loli, so that she can lay a good foundation of internal strength and avoid being controlled by the inner demon of Abi Dao.

Of course, if there is enough time, Lingbo Weibu will also be taught to them.

In this way, five quasi-super strong men should be able to fight against Zhao Gao or Tiedan Shenhou together.

Yes, Lu Yan's strength is not yet extremely strong, he has only half-stepped into this realm.

Lu Yan must practice another magical skill before he can be considered a truly powerful person.

Thinking about training his four subordinates, Lu Yan felt like he was playing a training game.

At this time, he suddenly remembered Xiaochunzi's identity.

Then stopped.

At this time, he and Xiao Chunzi were in a garden.

When Xiao Chunzi saw Lu Yan stop, he half lowered his head and stood respectfully.

Lu Yan turned around and walked around Xiao Chunzi, looking at him carefully.

I want to see from him some of the characteristics of No. [-] Huangzi last night.

The voice of Huangzi No. [-] was that of a powerful male.

Xiao Chunzi's voice was that of a feminine eunuch. Apart from the difference in voice, Lu Yan felt that they were very similar in terms of height and body shape.

Xiao Chunzi felt uncomfortable all over when Lu Yan stared at her like this.

Not only is his head lowered, but his back is also drooped.

Last night, Huang Zi No. [-] did not show his true face.

Lu Yan thought that the other party was being shy. Since he had made up his mind to give extra lessons to the four of them, there was no need to hide his appearance.

There is no one in the garden now.

Lu Yan thought that Xiao Chunzi did not dare to meet him as an Ouchi spy because he had served him for several years and could not change their relationship for a while, so he was shy.

Why don't you take the initiative and let Xiaochunzi feel that the emperor is not arrogant, but also a good and approachable emperor.

So he walked in front of Xiaochunzi.

"Xiao Chunzi, raise your head...where were you when there was a fight in Yangxin Hall last night?"

Xiao Chunzi was a little scared, raised her head and said tremblingly: "This servant obeyed your Majesty's instructions and hid in the room and did not dare to come out."

Lu Yan smiled, with a look of disbelief.

And suddenly he took action and grabbed Xiaochunzi's crotch...

Lu Yan hated men who were coy and coy. Even though he was talking about this, he was still making excuses and not admitting it...

Lu Yan decided to give Xiao Chunzi a sneak attack to see his reaction.

If you are a top powerhouse and your vital parts are attacked, you will inevitably retreat reflexively or take action to block it.

This was the moment Lu Yan was waiting for.

However, everything was different from what he thought...

Xiaochunzi didn't dodge, but looked at him in shock...

He held Xiaochunzi's empty hand......

Xiaochunzi, who was caught in a critical situation, blushed and shed tears.

Lu Yan knelt down in confusion.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Chunzi should not have been hiding in the room last night. He should have come out to protect Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, please punish Xiao Chunzi..."

Lu Yan felt that his world view had collapsed. Is Xiao Chunzi really a eunuch?Isn’t it the number one Huang Zi...?
Seeing Xiao Chunzi's nose bursting with tears, Lu Yan felt a little sorry and hurriedly helped him up.

"Xiao Chunzi, I'm just joking with you, don't take it to heart."

"You did the right thing about what happened last night. I don't mean to blame you."

After a few words of comfort, Lu Yan sighed, and the two continued walking.

Cining Palace.

"The Emperor is coming..."

All the eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt down.

"Your Majesty is auspicious."

The screen in the room has been lifted aside, and Wu Meiniang is sitting in front of the chessboard, seemingly still studying.

Lu Yan knelt down on one knee: "I would like to express my regards to my mother..."

Wu Meiniang came back to her senses and looked at Lu Yan with some surprise.

"The emperor is here, please get up quickly."

Lu Yan stood up and sat opposite Wu Meiniang.

"The queen mother is really leisurely and elegant. What will happen this time?"

The last time Lu Yan came here, he was played a star-and-moon chess game, implying that he couldn't grasp it and handed over the throne.

This time, Lu Yan asked directly, meaning if there was any conspiracy, just let him go...

Wu Meiniang stared at Lu Yan without answering.

She now wanted to take a good look at her son, this familiar yet unfamiliar emperor.

This Lu Yan is not only brilliant, but also a near-extremely powerful person...

"The emperor played a game of Star and Moon chess. It was well played. There is no other game in the Ai family. It's just to kill time."

Wu Meiniang's tone was gentle, and she seemed to be subduing.

Lu Yan ignored it and looked down at the chessboard.

The two got down.

After a few rounds, Lu Yan shook his head.

"My mother is very good at chess, and I am no match for you."

Lu Yan didn't use Zizhi Tongjian, so he was at the level of an ordinary person and quickly gave up.

Wu Meiniang thought that Lu Yan was caring about her face and was giving in to her.

This shows that she still has a lot of weight in Lu Yan's heart.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said: "Since the Emperor lost to the Ai family, he must promise the Ai family something..."

Lu Yan also laughed. He could handle the things in the palace, and the Queen Mother could handle them easily.

"Mother, please speak."

"The Aijia would like to know, what should your Majesty do next?"

Lu Yan's face was a little gloomy. After all, Wu Meiniang still couldn't let go of the government and still had the ambition of being an empress...

When Wu Meiniang said this, all the maids and eunuchs under her command went out.

Xiaochunzi saw this situation and wanted to avoid it.

Lu Yan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to leave.

Lu Yan did not answer directly, but asked instead: "What does the queen mother think my son will do next?" Wu Meiniang put away the chess pieces on the chessboard and said, "There are rumors in the court that the emperor is an extremely strong man."

"But the Ai family understands that the emperor is only halfway there."

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes.
