I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 3
As the emperor walked away quickly, the empress' face became ugly to the naked eye.

She is the emperor's married wife, what is the intention of the emperor's previous words, is it to put her in the cold palace?
Seeing this, Xue Lu on the side hurried forward to bow.

"Your Majesty, don't get angry. Maybe your Majesty is just recovering from a serious illness, and I don't want Her Majesty to worry."

In front of all the ministers, the queen was so angry that she couldn't let it go, she nodded slightly, and said slowly:

"I trust Your Majesty."

In the dormitory, Jiang Bao, the chief eunuch of the interior, is directing a group of maids to tidy up the "battlefield".
Li Tian pushed the door and entered, Jiang Bao hurriedly came up with a shy smile:
"Your Majesty, I have ordered someone to send Concubine Shu back to rest."

Wearing a dragon robe, Li Tian can be regarded as a three-point emperor, and he said without anger:

"According to my decree, Concubine Shu will move to Hanchun Palace, rewarding ten thousand taels of silver, and one hundred maids."

Jiang Bao was a courtier who served the emperor, and he had long learned to respond to orders, but today that Jiang Bao couldn't respond to anything.

Seeing Jiang Bao in a daze, Li Tian thought he had revealed his secrets, and immediately said angrily:

"Is it because my words are not working?"

When Li Tian got angry, Jiang Bao, who was frightened, hurriedly bowed to the ground:

"Your Majesty forgives your sins. I have absolutely no intention of disobeying His Majesty. It's true. It's true."

Li Tian raised his eyebrows, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him, and said with a calm expression:

"Speak straight."

Jiang Bao's heart was in a state of confusion at the moment, since the days of the great grandfather, the imperial treasury had never been rich, how could the emperor not know.

But once the emperor opened his mouth, he still wanted to reward Concubine Shu with ten thousand taels of silver.

Could it be?

Jiang Bao's back burst into cold sweat. Could it be that the emperor discovered his misappropriation of the imperial property?
Cautiously glanced at Li Tian, ​​Jiang Bao said cautiously:

"Your Majesty, there is really no silver in the treasury."

What the hell?No silver in the treasury?

Li Tian was stunned, he knew what the inner treasury was, it was his small treasury as the emperor, but he had never heard of the fact that the inner treasury had no money.

Glancing at Jiang Bao's frightened face, Li Tian's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Zhu Gaochi didn't inherit the memory of that dead thing?

Jiang Bao was an old man with a high level of observation and observation. Seeing Li Tian stunned, he knew that there was nothing wrong with him.Immediately boldly said:
"Your Majesty, it's not a day or two since there is no silver in the inner treasury, but since the Emperor has opened his mouth, the old slave will have to scrape together ten thousand taels of silver for Concubine Shu even if he sells everything."

Smash the pot and sell iron?

Li Tian rolled his eyelids, and kicked Jiang Bao unceremoniously.

This palace belongs to him from top to bottom, and this old eunuch actually wants to smash it and sell it?
Jiang Bao also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, rubbed his buttocks, got up and bowed:
"The emperor forgives the sin, it's the old slave who is confused."

If there is no money in the internal treasury, then naturally the reward will not be completed. Putting this matter aside for the time being, the most urgent thing for Li Tian to consider is how to quickly adapt to the new identity of the emperor.

This body is in the prime of life, he doesn't want to abandon the government and be sent to heaven by artificial rebellion within a few years.

After making up his mind, Li Tian ordered:

"Xuan Liubu Shangshu has an audience, and set up a driving study for me."

In the imperial study room, Li Tiangao sat on the top seat, and the six ministers sat down.

When he became emperor for the first time, Li Tian didn't know where to ask, so he said casually:
"I have been in a coma for the past few days, what major event has happened in the court?"

As soon as Li Tian finished speaking, Qian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the late emperor's return to heaven will inevitably shake the government and the public. In order to prevent any changes, I implore your majesty to decree that all the princes in Beijing should be sent to their respective vassals, and they will not be allowed to return to Beijing within three years."

Li Tian nodded. Although he has ascended the throne, his two younger brothers still have the military power. In order to avoid the tragedy of seeking power and usurping the throne, it is indeed a good way to let them all get out of the capital.

Li Tian was about to speak, but Lu Zhen, Minister of Rites, stood up.

"Your Majesty must absolutely not. Only by keeping all the princes in the capital can we prevent changes. If we send all the princes out of the capital, wouldn't it be letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Thinking about what the Minister of Rites said, Li Tian felt that there was some truth to it.

After all, no matter how you say it, it's better to be under one's nose than to be out of sight.

Seeing that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was about to speak again, Li Tian coughed lightly, and said beyond doubt:
"I pass on my decree to let all the princes in Beijing enter the palace and go to Lingshou Temple to guard the late emperor for three months. Once the three months are up, all of them will be sent out of the capital."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Qian Yi and Lu Zhen stood up at the same time and said respectfully.

After waving his hands, motioning for the two to sit down, Li Tian continued to ask:

"If there is anything else, keep playing."

After a long court meeting ended, Li Tian was exhausted physically and mentally.

Yeah, it's so hard to be an emperor.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the world's military affairs, and Wu guards the border. Opening their mouths is to ask for money and food.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of national engineering and water conservancy construction, and it also asks for money and food when it opens its mouth.

The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of running prisons across the country, maintaining law and order, and they still ask for money and food when they open their mouths.

The same is true for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, four words, asking for money and food.

When asked about the Ministry of Finance, which is in charge of the treasury, Li Tian still remembered the pale face of Xia Yuanji, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance. In a word, he had no money.

Of course, Li Tian also imagined that it might be that these ministers wanted to show him off.

After all, Zhu Gaochi's accession to the throne as the new emperor relied entirely on his status as the eldest son, without any foundation.

In a word, it is hard to be an emperor.

After driving back to the dormitory, Li Tian fell asleep.

I fell asleep straight away until the next morning.

Early the next morning, Li Tian was woken up by the piercing cry of the eunuch guarding the gate.

"Your Majesty, the empress is here."

Li Tian was annoyed about getting up at the moment, and when he heard the queen came again, he was very annoying.

"I'm not feeling well today, and I don't see anyone."

The gatekeeper eunuch looked at the frosty queen and shook his head cautiously.

The queen pursed her lips, and angrily pushed the door open and entered.

A gust of cold wind came in, which really woke up Li Tian a lot. Seeing that it was the queen, Li Tian could only patiently say:
"The queen came to see me early in the morning, but is there something urgent?"

The queen's surname is Zhang, and she is the prostitute of Zhang Lin, the uncle of Pengcheng, and the married couple of Zhu Gaochi.

Seeing her husband's familiar face, but unfamiliar words, Empress Zhang felt sore, and said leisurely:

"Your Majesty is tired of being a concubine?"

Li Tian hated to see women shed tears, especially beautiful women, and quickly shook his head and said:

"How come, I have never been tired of the queen."

Queen Zhang climbed up the pole, snuggled directly into Li Tian's bed, lowered her head and sobbed:

"Then why did His Majesty let the concubine go back to the bedroom to rest yesterday? Isn't this the concubine's bedroom?"

Li Tian smiled dumbly when he heard the words, and ran away patronizingly yesterday, but he didn't think of this.

Seeing Li Tian's embarrassment, Empress Zhang relaxed, and got into bed very skillfully.

Li Tian only felt his body tighten, and then he yelled involuntarily.

What!

Sure enough, being a maid has the benefits of being a maid.
