"It is announced that Chen Lianghan, the governor of Kyoto, will pay an audience——"

Wei Chengyun's voice sounded in the hall again.

Chen Lianghan, who was at the door of the main hall, shivered in fright when he heard this voice, and then quickly arranged his clothes to make sure he was neatly dressed, and then walked into the main hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Chen Lianghan saw Qi Bu kneeling on the ground, not daring to express his anger.

His heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.

But he still walked forward quickly and bowed his hands.

"The humble minister Chen Lianghan has met His Majesty."

Now he doesn't even dare to tell the governor of Kyoto.

But the emperor obviously couldn't let him go so easily, so he said with a hint of anger.

"Chen Lianghan, how brave are you to arrest innocent people arbitrarily?"

The emperor deliberately emphasized the word "innocent".

Chen Lianghan made a frightened splash and knelt down with Qi Bu.

"Your Majesty, this...this is what Mr. Qi ordered Wei Chen to do."

At this time, we can only blame everything on Qi Bu.

After all, if you are a dead Taoist friend, you will never die if you are a poor Taoist.

"Oh, if he asks you to do this, just do it. If he asks you to hang yourself, will you go or not?"

the emperor asked, obviously dissatisfied.

Is he still the emperor in my eyes?

Chen Lianghan just wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and did not dare to speak anymore.

But he glanced at Qibu who was kneeling on the ground, and felt that he should still explain, otherwise he would be finished today.

"Your Majesty, I don't know that those people are not guilty. It was Master Qi who told me that those people were spreading rumors wantonly and would have a negative impact on the court."

"Weichen just sent people to arrest those people. Weichen didn't know that this was just Mr. Qi's selfishness."

The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the two people kneeling below. These two people were really the same.

I just don’t know who will intercede for these two people soon.

His fingers knocked on the dragon chair one by one without making any sound, but Chen Lianghan and Qi Bu felt as if the hand was knocking on their hearts.

Make them feel breathless.

Obviously he usually looks incompetent, but today's emperor makes all of them feel different.

But it seems that the emperor is still the same emperor, and his momentum has not changed, but the feeling is different from before.

But when everyone looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, no one had any intention of stepping forward to plead for them.

Two brainless people are not worth wasting their efforts.

If they were to get down, they would be able to push their own people through.

Whether they are the Governor of Kyoto or the Minister of Household Affairs, they are all important official positions.

Chen Lianghan and Qi Bu knelt on the ground and shivered, knowing that they were in doom today.

The emperor waved his hand and ordered the two of them to be taken down.

Although Gu Hongyuan and Jiang Zhao both impeached them, the emperor still needed to send someone to find out what happened.

He, the emperor, does not have much real power in his hands. If he were convicted on the spot, these ministers would definitely object.

They will not allow their rights to be taken away, even a little bit of decision-making power.

After the imperial guards took the two men down, the emperor wanted to announce his resignation.

But Jiang Zhao finally met the emperor, and what she wanted to say has not yet been said.

Jiang Zhao quickly raised his hands and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to say."

The emperor was a little curious. Did Jiang Zhao have any evidence that could put those two people to death?

"explain."

Jiang Zhao raised his head and revealed the strategy he had been thinking about for several days.

"Your Majesty, when I was playing in the outskirts of the city, I met two refugees fleeing from the border and learned that the barbarians from the border were invading again."

The emperor did not expect that this was what Jiang Zhao was talking about.

His eyes lit up, as Jiang Zhao said, he must have some good strategies to offer.

Barbarians invade the border every winter and rob the border people of their winter supplies, making the border people miserable.

Duke Zhen Guo did not expect that Jiang Zhao would mention this matter, so he quickly took advantage of this opportunity to ask for orders again.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to attack the Xiongnu."

Cheng Wudi, the mighty general who was the only one standing behind Duke Zhen in the military attache queue, stood up and said angrily.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians have been harassing me across the border every year. They should have beaten their sons of bitches a long time ago. If we had sent troops earlier, why would the people on the border wander to Kyoto?"

To use his words, we should send out troops as soon as possible and beat those bastards until they don't even recognize their mothers.

Prime Minister Du Yuan glanced at him, stood up and said.

"When we go to war and go on an expedition, we need money for military pay, money for military rations, and money for comforting the families of fallen soldiers."

"Now that the national treasury is empty, where will the money come from for the war?"

As soon as Du Yuan opened his mouth, Zhao Dang, the imperial wine-offering minister, also stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, the people of the world have been fighting hard for a long time. If we go to war again, I am afraid that the people will complain and the people will not be able to survive. I hope your Majesty will think twice."

Grand Tutor Jiang Ding also did not support the war.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury is currently empty and cannot support the army's expedition. Our Tianyu Dynasty still focuses on defense."

Cheng Wudi felt unhappy hearing what they said.

"A bunch of cowards, everyone is knocking on your door, but you are still here thinking about defense."

Jiang Ding was not angry after hearing his sarcasm, and just continued.

"Your Majesty, the treasury is indeed empty now. It is unrealistic to go on a conquest. If you insist on a conquest, you will have to wait for a few more years until the treasury is full. Then we can fight again. Tianyu will definitely win."

Jiang Ding's words made those who spoke excitedly.

But Cheng Wudi has a simple mind, he doesn't care about the national treasury or not, he just wants to fight.

Lying at home all day, his bones were going soft.

"After all, they are either a bunch of cowards, they just don't dare to fight."

"I don't understand. You don't have to go to the battlefield, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Du Yuan snorted coldly: "The courage of an ordinary man!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you, Cheng Pifu."

"Say it again, believe it or not, I'll beat you so hard that you won't even recognize your mother."

…

The emperor looked at the civil and military officials who were noisy again below and felt a little headache.

Jiang Zhao looked at the group of people with curiosity. It turned out that this was the scene where the ministers quarreled in the history books.

Both parties are about to start fighting.

However, after listening to it in the main hall, she finally understood the situation.

The military attache wanted to start a war immediately, but the civilian officials did not allow it, let alone the treasury.

As for the emperor, it seemed like he wanted to fight, so it would be best for him to conduct the expedition himself to establish prestige in the army and pave the way for him to take power in the future.

But going on an expedition now would be too laborious for the people and money. The civilian officials did not want the military attache group to gain benefits, nor did they want the emperor to take power.

But allowing barbarians to dance around the border is not an option.

Jiang Zhao raised his hands and said to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, we can support war with war."
