The next day.

The sun had just risen, and the ministers gathered outside the main hall.

It's summer now and the sun rises early.

The light of the morning sun shines on the main hall, making everything shine with splendor.

When the door of the main hall was opened and the light shone into the main hall, the majesty of the main hall was revealed.

The jade floor tiles, glazed tiles, and calm spring water all give the hall a heavy feel.

The ministers entered one by one, and when Lu Chensheng arrived, they just shouted holy bows.

Lu Chensheng was sitting on the dragon chair, and the ministers below were playing.

The contents of the above poems are all very similar.

Disasters are happening all over the country one after another, and officials everywhere are so busy that they feel like crying without tears.

I originally thought that I would have the opportunity to show off my talents, but little did I know that I had encountered such a thing not long after I took office.

This is simply making things difficult for them.

They have also successfully obtained a lot of disaster relief funds from the imperial court, but if this money can be used for construction, it will be much better than what it is now.

"Holy Lord, disasters are happening all over the country now and there is no sign of them being eliminated. Do you want to hold a sacrificial prayer?"

Yang Zhiyuan from the Ministry of Rites stood up and said.

There was still one thing he didn't dare to say. There were vague rumors in various places, saying that he wanted to get the Holy One to issue an edict to sin against himself, so that God could avoid such a disaster.

In the eyes of some people, this is clearly a sign of the Holy Spirit's lack of virtue, which is why he committed such sins!

The other ministers looked at each other and nodded.

Judging from the current situation, there is indeed some need for sacrifices, so as to calm the minds of the people in the world.

It's also a bit of comfort.

"Young ministers, do you think there is too much money in the treasury, so you can spend it casually? The Ministry of Household Affairs is even planning carefully for disaster relief, and there is still money for sacrifices?"

Lu Chensheng heard this and replied with a cold face.

It's not that Lu Chensheng is extremely opposed to such activities as sacrificial offerings.

Sacrifices and the like are sometimes very effective, and the people pay great attention to them.

But this kind of sacrifice also depends on the occasion, and the Xinghan Empire is not rich now.

According to the data reported by the Ministry of Household Affairs yesterday, there were originally more than eight million taels of silver, but now only more than three million taels of silver are left.

I'm afraid that it won't be long before we have to enter the days of buckling and stringing things again.

From the day Li Daifu got the money, he saw more than eight million taels of silver.

I originally thought that I could finally stand up and spend as much as I wanted.

After reviewing some accounts later, I found that the more than eight million taels of silver seemed not enough to fill the gap between my teeth.

Therefore, he directly changed back to a careful budgeting person, so that he could have so much money left at this time.

If this were not the case, I am afraid that the treasury would be empty again at this time.

Yang Zhiyuan was startled when he heard this.

I originally thought that the Holy One would not object to the sacrifice, and considering the current situation, it is indeed necessary.

The Holy Spirit can also make a statement.

But now it seems that the Holy One doesn't like this thing very much.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhiyuan retreated again.

At this moment, Taoist Master Yunsong walked out.

In fact, when they saw Taoist Yunsong outside the palace before, the ministers were all surprised.

Taoist priest Yunsong rarely came to court, although the other party's status qualified him to come to court.

However, Taoist Master Yunsong has been practicing Taoism in the Taoist temple and basically never comes. Regarding this, the Holy One has promised.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial to you."

"explain."

Lu Chensheng looked at Yunsong and replied calmly.

"I observed the celestial phenomena and cleared the geography, and found that the disasters suffered by the Xinghan Empire were entirely caused by the Tatars outside the Great Wall who dug out the dragon veins of our Han Dynasty, which is why the Han Dynasty suffered so many disasters.

I sincerely request your Majesty to send troops to the Northern Expedition!"

Taoist Master Yunsong spoke word by word, and as soon as the words fell, the ministers were in an uproar.

Is this weather caused by the Tatars cutting off our dragon veins?

The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to question the dragon vein.

It's just that they are much more cautious at this moment about sending troops to the Northern Expedition.

Isn’t it a bad idea to send troops to the Northern Expedition at this time?

They were already thinking about whether they should persuade the Holy Father not to use troops against the Tatars this year.

Last year, the Holy Father was focused on the Tatars.

But this year's situation would be better if we didn't send troops, right?

Lu Chensheng opened his eyes and sat up straighter at this time, "Is this true?"

"Everything is true!"

Taoist priest Yunsong bowed his head to the end.

"The Tatars are asking for their own destruction! The Ministry of Rites prepares a notice to inform the world, the Ministry of War prepares the mobilization of troops, horses, food and fodder, and the Ministry of Revenue cooperates. I will make the Tatars pay the price!"

Lu Chensheng directly issued the decree without waiting for the ministers to discuss the outcome.

Then, without giving the ministers a chance to refute, Lu Chensheng stood up and left.

The attendants on the side immediately announced their resignation.

The ministers were all stunned in place, always feeling that something was wrong.

What's going on? I haven't figured out the situation clearly yet, so why did I withdraw from the court?

Moreover, depending on the situation, we still need to send troops to the Tatars?

Don’t you care about the countries around here? They are squatting at the border and watching eagerly!

The ministers were a little overwhelmed, but after a while, they finally came to their senses.

"No! How can we send troops to the Northern Expedition at this time?"

"What's going on with Taoist Priest Yunsong? He doesn't go to court on weekdays, but he did something like this just after he went to court. Does he want to destroy the Xinghan Empire?"

"How can we make the Northern Expedition? The weather is very cold this year. Who knows what will happen when we enter the grassland?"

The ministers were talking a lot at this moment, and many of them directly targeted Taoist Yunsong.

I'm afraid many of this guy is bewitching the Saint!

The Holy One was originally very interested in the Northern Expedition, but now that the other party has given him such an excuse, isn't it just right?

It's no wonder that the Holy Spirit agreed so happily.

It’s just that Taoist Yunsong doesn’t really look like a good person!

Taoist Priest Yunsong seemed not to have heard these words and turned around and left.

Du Rufang frowned, thinking about something.

Hearing the commotion around him, he turned around and left after thinking about it.

He seemed to have thought of something just now.

Liu Wensheng saw this and quickly followed.

He asked anxiously, "What's going on, Your Majesty? Why do you want to go to the Northern Expedition? It seems very irrational! How about we go to see Your Majesty together and try to dissuade you? With our status, Your Majesty will probably be thinking about it."

Two.”

Liu Wensheng also felt that the Northern Expedition was not a good thing at this time.
Chapter completed!
