The underworld signed in for a thousand years, reincarnated as an angry and crying empress

Half an hour later, Hube Shangshu Reno Mountain was late.

Coming to the Xizheng Hall of the East Palace, Lei Nuo Shan arched his hand and said nonchalantly to Li Chen: “Minister Lei Nuo Mountain, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

Li Chen looked at Leno Mountain expressionlessly and said, “You are a courtier, why don’t you kneel when you see this palace?”

Lei Nuoshan sneered and said righteously: “The minister is naturally a courtier, but the ancestral family rules that the courtier only bows down when he sees the emperor, the empress, and the empress, and to the prince, he only needs to bow down.” ”

Bang.

The note in Li Chen’s hand slammed heavily on the case table, “Since this palace is a prison country, seeing this palace is like the father and the emperor are here, and the main palace is now in front of you, it is on behalf of the father and the emperor, and if you see the king and do not worship, it is a crime of great conspiracy!” With

this loud bang, several brocade guards immediately rushed into the hall and stared at Reno Mountain murderously, as if as long as Li Chen gave an order, they would immediately pounce and unload Reno Mountain.

Mount Reno was taken aback.

He didn’t expect that Li Chen had just started to supervise the country, and he would not play cards according to the routine.

This directly uses imperial power to suppress people, which is equivalent to completely overturning the rules of their court.

Reno Mountain was shocked and angry, in his opinion, even the emperor had to balance politics with these ministers in the court, and where did he have the courage to challenge the rules of the game?

“Crown Prince, are you going to kill Wei Chen?”

Leno Mountain stared at Li Chen, thinking that Li Chen could not have the guts to move him.

Otherwise, the Manchu Dynasty will riot in an instant and put the crown prince in the air.

“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should think about it clearly, once you do this, it will make the civil and military officials chill, but no one will dare to do things for the Crown Prince.”

Such a naked threat made Li Chen laugh angrily.

“Drag this rebellious minister down and cut it down for the main palace!”

Li Chen ordered, no matter who you are, the officials of several pins, and the brainwashing education methods in the East Factory for many years have already allowed them to carve the concept of imperial supremacy into their bones.

A few wolf-like brocade guards came up, set up Reno Mountain left and right, and were about to be dragged away.

Mount Reno really panicked at this moment.

He found that his dependence and determination seemed to be a bullshit joke in front of Li Chen.

Li Chen did not intend to play according to the so-called rules of the game they had set from the beginning.

“Prince! You are so cruel, how can you convince hundreds of officials?

Li Chen said coldly: “The head of a scholar of Wen Yuange is not enough to make you afraid of this palace, then plus the head of a Hube Shangshu of yours, this palace wants to see whether it is the bones of you literati who are hard, or the knives of this palace are sharper.”

“Do you think Hongu will play the so-called compromise balance with you and slowly fight back to power?” You think too much, Zhao Xuanji may have this qualification, but you, just an ant, a small Hubu Shangshu, also dare to enter the struggle for imperial power, the palace will let you see what the end of making a wrong choice is. Li

Chen’s words landed, his sleeve robe waved, and Jin Yiwei didn’t say a word, regardless of Reno Mountain, who was struggling and shouting madly, dragged it up and left.

The screams reached outside the gate of the temple and stopped abruptly.

A moment later, a brocade guard returned to Li Chen, still holding a bloody human head in his hand, that human head was from Reno Mountain, and I saw that his eyes were wide and dead, and there was unparalleled horror and regret on his face.

“Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the rebel Reno Mountain has fallen to the law.”

“It happened that the treasury was empty, and I went and raided the home of Mount Reno, within its three tribes, but all adult men and men were reduced to slavery and joined the army, and all women over fourteen were sent to serve as officials and women, and the rest of the old and weak women and children were expelled from the capital and never allowed to enter the capital.”

“Then summon Xu Changqing, the left attendant of the household, the main palace wants to see, this household will have to cut off a few heads today to pick out one who can do things for the main palace.”

Hube Shangshu Hao is a second-grade official of the imperial court, and leads a one, and can be said to be definitely one of the participants in the core of imperial power.

But Monte Reno was cut just like that.

The turmoil caused by this matter quickly fermented, and the first time most people heard the news, they thought that they had heard it wrong, or the prince was crazy.

How the outside world reacted, Li Chen didn’t care much.

He was looking at Xu Changqing, who hurriedly arrived from Hubu in front of him, panting and not having time to calm his breathing.

“Wei Chen Hubu Zuo Shilang, Xu Changqing, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Prince Chitose, Chitose, Chitose.”

Compared to Reno Mountain, Xu Changqing has to understand too many rules.

After entering the hall, he bowed his head and lowered his hands, not daring to look at Li Chen’s face, and directly knelt down and called Chitose.

At this time, Xu Changqing only knew that his top boss Lei Nuoshan was called to the East Palace by the prince, but he did not know what exactly to do and where the person was.

It’s just that in the main hall, although it has been cleaned, it may be obvious to see the stains from the blood, which makes him feel a little uneasy.

“Excuse me.”

Li Chen said lightly: “Reno Mountain is dead.

“His head, where it was still beside you a quarter of an hour ago, should be able to see the traces if you look closely.”

The corners of Xu Changqing’s eyes jumped, and he was so frightened that he didn’t dare to breathe.

His mind raced and he realized that this was a big crisis, and it was also a big opportunity for him.

Perhaps from the second oldest in 10,000 years, crossing the hurdle that makes countless officials look at the ocean and sigh all their lives, achieving the second product and leading a Shang Shu, it depends on this opportunity.

Just weighed the pros and cons for a short time, Xu Changqing immediately said: “Weichen doesn’t know what crime Leno Mountain committed, but even if His Royal Highness the Prince is furious, he must be guilty of death.”

Li Chen laughed and said, “You are smarter than him.

Xu Changqing lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Chen, he said: “Wei Chen only knows that now the emperor’s dragon body is not safe, and he cannot handle state affairs, and the prince is the overseer of the country, so everyone under the sky must listen to the prince.”

Li Chen became more and more satisfied.

Now he does not have the slightest foundation in the imperial court, and it can be said that Zhao Xuanji’s people are everywhere.

And he urgently needs to form his own team and take control of his own power.

Then for the selection of these teams, the first thing is to be smart enough and ambitious enough, and then to be capable.

People who are too smart will not follow him at this time.

Only smart and ambitious people will follow him when his foundation is weak, so that if he wins in the future, he can get more rewards.

As for ability, after scientific expeditions and years of ups and downs in the sea, if you can climb to one of the six departments to become the second in command, where will such a person be worse?

“Look at this.”

Li Chen no longer mentioned the matter of Reno Mountain, but threw the music of Nanhe Province in front of Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing respectfully held the recital in both hands, and then carefully flipped through it.

As soon as he looked at the content, he knew what happened to the prince.

Xu Changqing put down the recital and said carefully: “Your Royal Highness, the disaster in Nanhe Province has already happened, and in the past two months, more than ten recitals have been submitted, one more serious than the other.

“Then why not provide disaster relief?” Li Chen asked.

“The treasury is empty.”

Xu Changqing threw up his hand and said honestly: “Now the national inventory of silver is only 3.7 million taels, even if it is used to pay for the world’s officials, it is no longer enough, let alone disaster relief, Nanhe Province wants disaster relief, without five million taels can not be stopped, a drop in the bucket, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

“The main palace remembers that the national treasury has a tax revenue of 60 million taels a year, why is it empty so much?” Li Chen asked with a frown.

Xu Changqing smiled bitterly and said: “Officials in various places, the great drought in the north has lasted for thousands of miles, the flooding in the south has begun since the year before last, and the military expenditure and military salary expenditure have gradually intensified, and…” Speaking

of this, Xu Changqing realized that he had mentioned something that should not be mentioned, and suddenly he did not dare to say it.

“You said, this palace will not offend you.” Li Chen said calmly.

Xu Changqing gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said hard: “Starting from this year, King Han, King Chu, King Zhao, King Jingyang and other clan kings have begun to not pay their annual offerings for various reasons, and this piece has lost most of their income.

Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Clan King!

In the Great Qin state system, after the clan king became a domain, he had the right to military power, political power and taxation in the territory, and only needed to pay a certain amount of annual payment to the imperial court every year, which was equivalent to a country within a state.

Two hundred years after the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, these clan kings are already a huge cancer.

“Hongu knows.”

Li Chen didn’t say much about the clan king.

Now that the emperor may die at any time, the empire is in turmoil, Li Chen don’t say that he wants to cut the domain, and his uncles, who don’t want to wait for the emperor to die, it’s good to raise the banner of King Qin to overthrow him.

Therefore, in order to target the clan king, it must wait for the real enthronement.

At this time, it is still necessary to start solving the problem of domestic disasters first.

“The disaster has been going on for years, the imperial court has allocated a lot of money to go down to the disaster relief, the palace knows that the officials below, with a hand, it is impossible for them not to get a little oily, you report the names of several corrupt officials you know to the East Factory, and the East Factory will deal with it.”

Li Chen, who lacked money, paid attention to corrupt officials.

The poorer the country, the richer both categories of people become.

One is corrupt officials, and the other is businessmen.

“Also, what is the price of grain, oil, rice, flour and other necessities in the market today?”

Xu Changqing was just shocked because of the two words of the East Factory, and when he heard this, he subconsciously replied: “The price of goods has skyrocketed, the price of rice has risen to the point of outrageous, at the beginning of the year, 5 copper plates can buy a pound of good new rice, but now, even if it is moldy old rice, if there are no 30 copper plates, I don’t want to buy it.”

“Most of the grain in the market is concentrated in the hands of those big grain merchants, and they combine to raise prices, and earlier this year, Hubu borrowed grain from the three major grain merchants in the capital in the name of the imperial court, but they not only did not pull out a dime, but also cried out for injustice, which is really hateful!”

“You go and gather all the people in charge of the three major grain merchants in the capital, and say that the main palace will host a banquet in the East Palace tomorrow to entertain them.”

Li Chen sneered and said: “The national wealth is difficult to get, but it is not so easy to issue, these businessmen, on weekdays, wantonly accumulate wealth, and when it comes to the national crisis, they still think of making such ill-gotten gains, really when the swords of the imperial court can’t fall on their necks?” ”
