In the court, Horn and some of the newly appointed honest officials all looked ugly and could not refute even if they wanted to.

But who is Zhou Jian? He knew immediately that this old guy was lying!

Even though the emperor was extravagant and extravagant, even though he had everything, it was impossible for such a big Zhou Dynasty that the treasury could be so short of only 50,000 taels of silver, right?!

This is a country that makes people laugh their teeth out just by talking about it!

Zhou Jian took a deep breath and tried to tell himself to calm down. The more dangerous the situation, the more calm he must be.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said: "Okay, then you, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, tell me, what should we do next?"

A trace of success flashed in Gu Si's eyes, and he immediately said: "Wei Chen believes that the situation is so chaotic that Prime Minister Huo may have to take action! He is a veteran of two dynasties and has many old disciples. This small matter is not a problem."

Xia Yan immediately stood up: "Your Majesty, yes, the civil servants also think that Prime Minister Huo can definitely do it!"

"Yes, Prime Minister Huo is the head of all officials. After Song and Yuan dies, you have the obligation to lead us to sort out these messes."

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"

"Not only that, I can also hand over a series of issues such as horse banditry to General Qin Zhen. After all, General Qin is famous and can handle it with ease."

"Second!"

"..."

A hive of people with ill intentions spoke out one after another with loud voices, as if they wanted to remonstrate.

Zhou Jian narrowed his eyes and looked dangerous. These old guys did it on purpose!

But the mess must be cleaned up, that's for sure. Since they are plotting, why not go with the flow and get some benefits?

He quickly winked at Huo Aiqing and General Qin, and they understood each other. He said coldly: "Oh? So, Huo Aiqing and General Qin must go?"

Xia Yanpi smiled, but when he looked at Qin Zhen, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, it's not that they have to go, but the civil and military forces of the dynasty. Only the two of them have this qualification. We will definitely help you with this ability."

"Colleagues, do you think it is true or not?"

The ministers echoed like a bunch of lap dogs: "What Mr. Xia said is absolutely true!"

"I'm waiting for support!"

Facing the trick they had set, Huo and Qin looked extremely calm, but their eyes were cold. They both knew that this mess was no longer easy to clean up. If they failed to clean up the mess, they would inevitably be impeached and resign.

To put it seriously, you will be sent to jail again.

But they are loyal, considerate of the world, and are willing to overcome difficulties. It just depends on how His Majesty decides.

Zhou Jian's expression changed, and he quickly made up a plan in his mind. He deliberately frowned and said, "It's okay, but..."

Xia Yan, Gu Si and others all raised their heads, their eyes flashing with excitement. As long as Zhou Jian agrees, it will be just around the corner for Huo and Qin to lose power again!

They said excitedly: "Your Majesty, what is it?"

Zhou Jian glanced at them, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth: "But, as you just said, a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice."

"The Yulin Guards must guard the palace. If you ask Qin Zhen to go out to arrest the horse bandits, you have to give the soldiers food, right? After all, we can't delay."

"And Huo Aiqing is raising money and food. You have to give him enough people to find a way, right?"

Cheyenne narrowed her eyes: "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Zhou Jian pretended to be thoughtful and said calmly: "Let's do this. I will transfer the 30,000 troops from the Beida camp outside the capital to Qin Zhen and let him suppress the bandits."

"In addition, Prime Minister Huo also needs some manpower and will promote a small number of officials. Don't embarrass yourself. If you do, I won't be polite!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole court suddenly changed color!

The Peking Camp is an elite force, and Horn has already promoted many officials. His Majesty is still not satisfied and wants to promote direct descendants?

This is undoubtedly painful for them.

Gu Si was about to stand up and object, but Xia Yan gave him a fierce wink, then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, no problem, we have no objection!"

The expressions of his henchmen suddenly changed. What is Cheyenne doing? All the military power in the Beida camp has been surrendered!

The next second, Xia Yan changed the topic and said with playful eyes: "But the imperial court has given you two so much power, Wei Chen feels that you two adults still need to issue a military order."

Qin Zhen snorted coldly: "Just stand up, who is afraid of whom? You are so weird, people who don't know better think you are an old eunuch!"

"What did you say?" Cheyenne was furious and trembling with anger.

"Don't say a few words." Horn stood up, white-haired, upright and admirable: "I will also issue this military order!"

"I'll raise one million in silver and two hundred thousand catties of grain within one month. If I can't do it, I'll resign voluntarily. But during this period, you are not allowed to interfere with the selection of officials."

Qin Zhen snorted coldly, the tiger's power was still the same as when he was young: "I, like the Prime Minister, have issued a military order to capture the largest mountain king in Chanzhou within half a month!"

Hearing this, Xia Yan, Gu Si and others all sneered. Two guys who were not afraid of death would dare to issue such a military order.

"Well, there is no joking in the court. Your Majesty, do you have any objection?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Jian proudly, and Zhou Jian sneered in his heart. He didn't expect that in the end, it was not certain who would be the prey. I am a modern special forces soldier, but I can't beat you bad old men?

"I have no objection."

"but!"

Everyone who had been so complacent suddenly stopped smiling and looked around one after another.

Zhou Jian stood up, dressed in a dragon robe and stretched out his hands. He said with a smile: "But I don't have money. If you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass, right?"

"Suppressing bandits requires money and funds, and I can't afford this money. Why don't you all, dear friends, chip in together?"

Hearing this, all the ministers looked at each other in shock.

Xia Yan probed: "I wonder how many General Qin needs?"

Zhou Jian quickly glanced at him, and Qin Zhen stepped forward and said loudly: "One hundred thousand taels!"

Everyone's scalps trembled. Only Zhou Jian was speechless. Why would you want to do this? It's a waste of my half-day saliva!

These bastards are all corrupt officials and traitors. A hundred thousand taels is just a living thing. If not blackmailing them, who are they blackmailing?

"Qin Zhen, why don't you go and grab it? One hundred thousand taels, don't go too far!" Gu Si shouted.

This made Zhou Jian angry. One hundred thousand taels was too much, so he stood up and said, "Bastard! Who asked you to yell in the court? You don't have one hundred thousand taels, so there's no need to talk about it. I'll give it to you."

You have one hundred thousand taels, why are you going to suppress the bandits!"

"If you can't suppress me, I will castrate you!" His face was stern.

Gu Si was startled, and then he realized that the current His Majesty was no longer the cowardly Majesty before. He quickly lowered his head and gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, you are being disrespectful."

Zhou Jian did not give face, exerted pressure, and promoted the plan.

"Hmph, do you have the hundred thousand taels? If not, our plan will be scrapped, and Huo Qin and I won't take on this burden!"

Cheyenne and others' faces gradually turned ugly. Just when they were about to succeed, His Majesty actually came out to extort money. When did he become so clever?
