Chapter 1930 Pushing into Desperation 3
Today, he is like a paper man standing on a cliff, facing the wind on all sides, precarious.

He didn't know that this was a gift from Qu Tiange.

The rebellion in southern Xinjiang was deliberately provoked by Qu Tiange.

The Northern Qi garrison outside Jiayuguan was Qu Tiange's agreement with Murong Xi before. Murong Xi had to allocate [-] soldiers for him to dispatch at will without any conditions. Now, Murong Xi fulfilled his promise.

As for the treasury.

Qu Tiange knows Qu Tianyu well enough, he never settles accounts, money has no concept to him, it is just a few numbers.

And the entire Ministry of Rites is Qu Tiange's people.

Playing around with these figures allowed Qu Tianyu to immerse himself in the dream of a full and inexhaustible national treasury. Only then did Qu Tianyu open his mouth to reduce or exempt the tax burden for three years.

He thought he was trying to win over the hearts of the people and promote benevolent government.

In fact, he just pushed himself to an extremely embarrassing situation.

The Ministry of Etiquette has written many times about the matter of Chunwei and the draft, and at the same time drew up the cost of these two things. Seeing the huge number, Qu Tianyu was completely shocked.

Chunwei and the draft, which have not changed for thousands of years, have been pushed again and again this year. The candidates are already dissatisfied with the court, and the Ministry of Rites has written to the matter again and again. Qu Tianyu looked at the piles of invitations, and his hair turned gray a lot.

There is only 500 million taels of gold left in the national treasury. This money is barely enough to spend on food and drink in the palace for a year. Once the big events of the spring and the draft are taken care of, life in the palace will be very difficult for the next year.

Qu Tianyu considered borrowing money from King Xuan.

Today's King Xuan is rich in the capital, and his wealth is beyond rivals.

But he couldn't speak.

His self-esteem does not allow him to bow his head and beg to Qu Tiange's people.

Day after day, it was a great torment for Qu Tianyu.

On the other side of southern Xinjiang, the war is tense, and military food and salaries must be supplied in a steady stream.

On the day when the last tael of silver was allocated from the national treasury, Qu Tianyu sat in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a long, long time.

From morning till dark.

Many things from the past flashed in front of my eyes with exceptional clarity.

He thought that when he was young, his father was still there, and told him that this country was so beautiful and the world was peaceful. He was trapped in the capital and couldn't go around. He hoped that when he grew up, he would be able to see the beautiful scenery of Daliang.

He also thought of when he was in King Yi's mansion, he was the gentle and peaceful King Yi in everyone's eyes, the brothers were harmonious, the husband and wife were loving, and the children were happy.

He also thought of the words his father gritted his teeth before he died.

If he still has strength, what will he say next?
Will he laugh at him? It's not the material to be an emperor at all.

But who is born to be an emperor?

He thought he did a good job.

Over the years, he has been courteous to corporals, treated talents well, courted Chinese and military officials, and he treated those who sincerely surrendered to him with courtesy and valued them very much.

Only those who are stubborn, he will use some means to force them to either leave or submit to himself.

But there's nothing wrong with that, his father had done more ruthlessly than him in order to sit on this chair.

The most beloved woman, the dearest brother, and even the most respected father, all died at the hands of his father.

Those who achieve great things do not compromise on means, so what?
Yes, he did whatever he could to get everything he wanted.

After taking office, he couldn't wait to secure his position, so he dismantled the military power, so he promulgated a benevolent government, was he wrong?
