Chapter 3 The royal family with power

Tai Chi Hall.

All civil and military officials stood solemnly!

The gilded dragon pillar is ingenious, solemn and mighty, and all living beings crawling...

Qin Yun only watched the emperor on TV in his life. When he was truly immersed in the scene and looked up to by others, all his ambitions and desires as a man emerged at that moment.

I want this world!

Whether it is a tyrant or a foolish lord, you can do whatever you like!

"Your Majesty, the Guanzhong area has a severe drought, no grass grows, no rooster crows for a hundred miles, and the people are living in poverty. Please make a decision early!" An old man in red stood up, holding Jade Ruyi in his hand, shouting in tears.

When Qin Yun heard this, he said that natural disasters and man-made disasters are so serious, so it’s a big deal!

He maintained the emperor's majesty and blurted out: "Disa relief, disaster relief, disaster relief immediately!"

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, immediately allocate funds to me, allocate grain, and rush to the Guanzhong area to avoid greater famines."

Upon hearing this, half of the ministers in the court looked strange. Is there any money in the court?

A thin old man with a gray beard walked out. He had slender eyes and was very cunning. He was Wang Wei, the Minister of Revenue, and he was also the father of Concubine Wang and the head of the powerful ministers in the court.

He looked embarrassed and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the treasury really can't afford it anymore. Last year, the Yongle God Palace was built and the Imperial Garden was repaired this year, which has emptied the treasury. Now the treasury only has 500,000 taels of silver left."

"This little money may not be enough for disaster relief, and it will even make the court nervous!"

Five hundred thousand taels?

Qin Yun was shocked. In his memory, the Great Xia Kingdom had a vast territory and abundant resources. There was a grand occasion of the coming of all nations. How could it be that there were only 500,000 taels in the treasury?

The only thing he could think of was that some ministers embezzled the money.

"Take the account book up to me and take a look, right away!" He said a little dissatisfied.

Seeing Qin Yun's ugly face, Wang Wei couldn't help but wonder, why did Your Majesty suddenly want to check the accounts today? But he was not nervous at all and immediately asked someone to collect the account book.

Not long after, the account book was collected and handed over to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun looked at it for a while and his face was extremely strange.

It turned out that the money was really spent, or the original owner himself spent it. If there was a palace, he insisted on building a new Yongle Temple. He would always take Concubine Wang to play around and repair the palace. Anyway, he would spend a lot of money.

But he also knew very well that the Great Xia Kingdom was so powerful that even if the original owner kept ruining it, the national treasury would not be so empty.

After all, there must be borers in the big tree.

However, he is not suitable for the minister who investigates corruption now. After all, he has not yet gained a foothold and has not figured out the situation in the court, and it is useless to act rashly.

After thinking about it, he waved his hand: "Immediately stop the creation of Yongle Temple, as well as the renovation of the Imperial Garden, the Stone Temple, etc., stop all of them, sell everything that can be sold, and exchange for silver to provide disaster relief!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers in the court opened their eyes wide and were silent.

How did Your Majesty change his nature today? He is willing to stop building a sacred palace and help the victims. He didn't know how to do it before.

Wang Wei's old eyes suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Yun, with a suspicious look, but he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, wise!"

The old minister in red knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, which moved people.

Qin Yun remembered him. The scholar-official Guo Ziyun was an unsuccessful old minister of poor families who were dedicated to serving the people. He had been trying to talk about disaster relief to himself these days, but the original owner knew that he had played with women all day long. Not only did he disappear, but he also sent someone to punish the old man.

"Yes, this person can be promoted." Qin Yun said intimately, very satisfied with Guo Ziyun and was ready to reuse it.

At this time, Wang Wei glanced at a minister in his camp.

The minister understood and immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I still have to report."

"Say!" Qin Yun was very straightforward.

"In the area of ​​Cangshan Mountain in Jiannan Road, horse bandits roaring in the mountains and forests, growing stronger and stronger. Now there are more than 10,000 people! They burned, killed, looted, and the people and merchants stayed away from them."

"If the court does not send troops, it will probably lead to a disaster!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun had a headache.

I thought to myself why the Daxia Dynasty had so many troubles, sometimes natural disasters, sometimes horse bandits, this is not a good sign!

"Send troops!" He said decisively, his eyes swept to the row of generals: "Who do you want to go?"

The generals bowed their heads and said nothing. Who dared to compete for this popular item? It’s not that the Wang family has booked it.

A civil servant immediately stood up and suggested: "Your Majesty, I think Wang Ming and General Wang can go!"

"That's right, General Wang is brave and good at fighting, and suppressing the horse bandits is no problem."

"General Wang is dedicated to serving the country, and he is also the General of Jinwu Guard. He is well versed in military tactics. He must be the one who quells the Cangshan Rebellion."

“…”

Qin Yun looked at everything in front of him coldly. Good guy, more than half of the ministers in the court supported Wang Ming, the eldest son of the Wang family, and it was like a one-man show. Many generals were forced to stand up and compete under pressure.

How powerful is the Wang family?

The Minister of Revenue, General, and Imperial Concubine all came from a family. Qin Yun was not a fool. There were many powerful officials in ancient times who were chaotic.

"Are there any other generals willing to go?" Qin Yun asked lightly, as if he was going through the motions, but in fact he didn't want to compromise.

The generals looked at each other. Most of them had a good relationship with the Wang family, and only a few generals were incompatible with the Wang family, but they also knew that it was useless to fight for it, so they simply remained silent.

"Your Majesty, since no one has any objection, according to the old minister, it is better to confer General Wang Ming as the Grand Marshal of the Bandit Bandit, command the three armies, and go to suppress the Horse Bandits?"

An elegant old man in purple court uniform stood up and said with a smile.

Qin Yun was completely exploded. The old man was named Lin Changshu, the prime minister of the dynasty. Even he wore a pair of pants with the Su family? Is this going to make a fuss?!

At the same time, a young black-armored general stood up, and it was Wang Ming.

He knelt down and bowed, "Your Majesty, I will definitely share your worries and promise to eliminate all the horse bandits in Cangshan within seven days!"

"General Wang is so bold! Your Majesty, the old minister asks to submit a report to General Wang Ming as the Grand Marshal of the Bandit Suppression!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

“…”

Some of the civil and military officials in the court took the lead in kneeling down and asked Qin Yun to confer Wang Ming as the Grand Marshal of the Bandit Suppression, as if you would not be able to get up if you didn't confer it.

Qin Yun was so angry that he was simply forcing himself to be named Wang Ming.

Can a marshal be rewarded at will? Then, if all the generals in the court are commanded by him, how much power is there?

What really annoyed Qin Yun was that no one in the court stood up to oppose it, and only a small part of them were silent.

In my memory, the original owner was too slutty, addicted to wine and sex, and favored the Wang family too much, which led to such a situation.

Just when Qin Yun didn't know what to do, his eyes suddenly fell on a tall middle-aged general, and he didn't speak from the beginning.

His name is Xiao Jian, the general of Zuodaying, the imperial capital, and the elder brother of Concubine Xiao Shu.

But like Concubine Xiao Shu, he was very unpopular and marginalized because he was dissatisfied with the power of the Wang family and wanted to eliminate dissidents.

Qin Yun even remembered that once he beat Concubine Xiao Shu, Xiao Jian was so angry that he scolded him a few words, and then he sent someone to beat him a hundred military sticks, almost killing Xiao Jian.

Therefore, although they are kings and ministers, they are actually in harmony with each other's appearance.

Thinking of this, Qin Yun felt a sense of crisis. As an emperor, there was no one or two trustworthy ministers around him.

He spoke directly: "Xiao Jian, are you sure to quell the Cangshan Rebellion?"
