Feng Bogong and several ministers sighed and said, "I saw that Your Majesty was angry just now. We know clearly that His Majesty wants to build a palace and a navy, so we can't help but keep silent!"
The other people looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
They were very worried. Could it be that His Majesty wanted to be a coward again?
Have you regained your true nature?
I have only been a wise king for a few days!
Feng Yuyue cupped his hands and said: "We must stop His Majesty from constructing the palace of cultivation. All the ruins will be destroyed, and we will never go back to the past!"
"That's right, Your Majesty must not be allowed to imitate Emperor Yang."
In the eyes of these officials from the Six Ministries, Zhu Youde's plan to build a palace and rebuild the navy were all acts of a foolish king!
If the emperor wants to build a palace, he will have to spend money, he will have to conquer and labor, and the people will suffer!
This is how Emperor Yang's country perished.
As for the navy, these people feel that it is simply unnecessary.
So knowing Zhu Youde's inner plan, whether Feng Yuyue, Feng Bogong, or other ministers were worried that Zhu Youde wanted to become a coward!
These ministers discussed it and came up with a solution, that is, whenever the emperor asked if there was any money in the treasury, the Ministry of Revenue would say there was no money!
The Minister of Household Affairs is He Qingfeng, with a firm expression on his face as he promised: "Don't worry, everyone, I will never tell His Majesty that the Household Department has money, and Your Majesty will never even think of taking a penny from the treasury!"
If you want money, walk over my corpse!
This statement made other ministers nod their heads one after another.
Not to mention everyone started working!
When classes ended at noon, He Qingfeng was walking towards the palace gate when suddenly Wang Zhonghou appeared!
"Lord He!"
When he saw it was Wang Zhonghou, He Qingfeng stopped and cupped his hands and said, "It's Mr. Wang!"
Wang Zhonghou took a few steps closer and said with a smile: "Your Majesty invites you!"
He Qingfeng's heart moved, and he probably guessed what the emperor wanted to do!
He is the Minister of Household Affairs. Zhu Youde must use money for anything he wants to do, so he must go to him.
As Wang Zhonghou walked, He Qingfeng said: "Master He, I think you understand what your Majesty means, but you have to think carefully before speaking!"
"The treasury is out of money!"
Wang Zhong shamelessly twitched and said to himself: "Master He, who did you rely on to become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
He Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Of course it's because of Your Majesty, I'm very grateful."
"Then you still say you have no money!"
"There is no money in the treasury!" He Qingfeng's face changed. Just a moment ago, he looked like he was crying with gratitude. In the next moment, his face turned as hard as a stone: "My lord, you are His Majesty's personal attendant. Do you expect His Majesty to be a fool!"
Wang Zhonghou became angry immediately. He was His Majesty's man.
Seriously, eunuchs are all the emperor’s domestic slaves!
Although he is a first-class martial arts master, if Zhu Youde wanted him to die, he would commit suicide immediately without hesitation!
Wang Zhonghou and He Qingfeng talked so much, just hoping that He Qingfeng would obey and not embarrass Zhu Youde!
The treasury may have no money, but you can support the emperor and show your attitude!
But why do you look like a stone in a latrine?
Wang Zhonghou's face suddenly turned ugly: "Master He, do you know when His Majesty takes a break every day?"
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Wang Zhonghou said: "At the third watch, I think you have already rested, Mr. He, but Your Majesty still has to read the memorials, worry about state affairs, and write non-stop. It makes the slave family feel sad to see it. What a wonderful Your Majesty.
It's not a big deal if you just want to change your place of residence? Why do you and other ministers object to it?"
Wang Zhonghou was an eunuch, and he called himself a slave, which meant that he was a slave of the emperor.
He Qingfeng looked at Wang Zhonghou in great surprise.
Is what you said true?
According to rumors in Jinling City, His Majesty the Emperor is learning new postures every day.
The emperor tormented the queen and beauties in the harem until midnight and he believed it.
In front of Wang Zhonghou, He Qingfeng did not dare to say such a thing!
It is disrespectful to criticize the emperor!
He Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
It's enough!
Wang Zhong said kindly: "When I met with His Majesty, do you know what I said? I am a slave of the Emperor, and I don't care about your identity. I just hope that Your Majesty will do what you want."
There is a threat in these words.
He Qingfeng was very angry, looked at Wang Zhonghou and said: "What do you want!"
Wang Zhonghou smiled slightly: "If you follow His Majesty's wishes, I naturally don't mean anything. If you don't follow His Majesty's wishes, then don't blame me for causing trouble for you. I have already sent people to welcome Miss He into the palace.
It should be here soon. I heard that your sister is in beautiful country..."
"You..." He Qingfeng looked at Wang Zhonghou ridiculously, and was so angry that he couldn't speak!
What a bitch!
Who doesn’t know that the emperor is lustful, so how can he still have his own little sister in the palace?
Wang Zhonghou smiled slightly: "Master He, please don't get excited and speak carefully!"
Zhu Youde summoned He Qingfeng just to inquire about the situation of the treasury, but he followed Wang Zhonghou's deathly voice.
After He Qingfeng kowtowed to Zhu Youde, he looked at the emperor like an enemy!
Zhu Youde was stunned!
He Qingfeng's eyes were too familiar to him, the kind of eyes he had when he was scolding himself for being a fool!
I didn’t steal your wife, did I?
You are the emperor, you must be magnanimous!
"Qing, why are you looking at me like this!" Zhu Youde held the tea cup. The advantage of being an emperor is that you can enjoy all kinds of things!
What he drinks now is Hangzhou's Longjing, which is a special kind. In modern times, you wouldn't be able to buy it for more than 100,000 yuan per catty.
Now, you can drink whatever you want. If you can’t drink it yourself, you can give it to the people around you or ministers.
"Your Majesty wants to inquire about the situation of the treasury!" He Qingfeng said firmly, without replying to Zhu Youde's words.
Zhu Youde thought that he had taken some gunpowder, but he didn't care and said directly, "How much money is left!"
"There are five million taels of gold left."
It sounds like a lot, but it is too little for a country. This little money will be lost by Zhu Youde doing whatever he wants.
The treasury is poor again!
Zhu Youde already knew that there was little money in the treasury, but when he heard that only five million was left, he was immediately distressed.
Money is spent too fast.
Zhu Youde nodded and asked: "Sir, what do you think of my plan to build a palace and rebuild the Daliang Navy?"
"Your Majesty is wise." He Qingfeng thought about his little sister and gritted his teeth and said, "What the Holy Emperor does must have deep meaning. I obey your Majesty's orders!"
Hearing this, Wang Zhonghou, who was standing aside, suddenly smiled. This Lord He was quite obedient.
Zhu Youde was drinking tea when he took a sip of tea and sprayed it all over He Qingfeng's face!
Damn it!
That’s not what you said at the cabinet meeting just now. You were against it!
Has this changed your mind?
My minister has no position? Could he be a traitor?
Zhu Youde is ready to be contradicted by He Qingfeng. If you want to be a good emperor, don't worry about being contradicted by ministers!
The result... was surprising!
Why is this He Qingfeng so helpless and awakened?
Looking at He Qingfeng, Zhu Youde immediately felt that this man had the potential to be a traitor.
"So, you agree with me to build the Forbidden City and Navy Army!"
"Yes, I support it!"
For the sake of my little sister... He Qingfeng thought to himself.
