The gilt dragon pillar is ingenious, majestic and majestic, and all living beings are crawling...
Qin Yun had only seen the emperor on TV in his life. When he was actually there and looked up to by others, all his ambitions and desires as a man emerged at that moment.
I want this world!
Whether you are a tyrant or a coward, you can enjoy whatever you want!
"Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in the Guanzhong area. Not a blade of grass grows, there is no cockcrow for hundreds of miles, and the people are in dire straits. Your Majesty, please make a decision early!" An old man in red stood up, holding a jade Ruyi, and shouted with tears.
When Qin Yun heard this, it was incredible that the natural and man-made disasters were so serious!
He maintained the majesty of the emperor and blurted out: "Relief, relief, relief immediately!"
"The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, immediately allocate funds and grain to me to help the Guanzhong area to avoid greater famine."
Hearing this, half of the ministers in the DPRK looked strange. Does the DPRK still have money?
A thin old man with a gray beard came out. He had slender eyes and a deep palace. He was Wang Wei, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He was also the father of Wang Guifei and the most powerful official in the court.
He looked embarrassed and lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the treasury really can't come up with any money. The construction of Yongle Shrine last year and the renovation of the Imperial Garden this year have emptied the treasury. Now there is only 500,000 taels of silver left in the treasury.
.”
"This little money may not be enough for disaster relief, and it may even strain the court!"
Five hundred thousand taels?
Qin Yun's expression was astonished. In his memory, Daxia had a vast territory, rich products, and a grand occasion of thousands of nations coming to court. How could there be only 500,000 taels in the treasury?
The only thing he could think of was that some ministers were corrupt and embezzled money.
"Bring me the account book and take a look at it, immediately!" There was some dissatisfaction in his tone.
Seeing Qin Yun's ugly face, Wang Wei couldn't help but wonder why His Majesty suddenly wanted to check the accounts today? However, he was not nervous at all and immediately asked someone to get the account books.
Not long after, the account book was fetched and handed over to Qin Yun.
Qin Yun looked at it for a while, his expression was extremely strange.
It turns out that the money was really spent, or was spent by the original owner himself. He couldn't live in the palace, so he had to build a new Yongle Shrine, take the royal concubine around for fun, and repair the palace. Whatever it was, it was a huge expense.
But he also knew very well that the Great Xia Kingdom was so powerful that even if the original owner continued to ruin it, the treasury would not be so empty.
After all, there must be borers in the big trees.
However, it is not suitable for him to be a minister investigating corruption now. After all, he has not yet established a firm foothold and has not figured out the situation in the court. It is useless to act rashly.
After thinking for a while, he waved his hand: "Immediately stop the construction of the Yongle Shrine, as well as the repairs of the Imperial Garden, the Stone Temple, etc., stop them all for me, sell everything that can be sold, and exchange money for disaster relief!"
Hearing this, the ministers in the DPRK opened their eyes wide, and there was a dead silence.
Why did His Majesty change his gender today? He is willing to stop building the shrine and provide relief to the victims, which he did not do before.
Wang Wei's old eyes suddenly raised his head and glanced at Qin Yun, his eyes suspicious, but he didn't say anything.
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
The old minister in red knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, which moved people.
Qin Yun thought of him. Guo Ziyun, a scholar-bureaucrat, was an old minister from a poor family who had no aspirations and devoted himself to serving the people. He had been trying to talk to him about disaster relief these days, but the original owner knew how to play with women all day long. Not only did he disappear, but he was also tortured.
This old man.
"Yes, this person can be promoted." Qin Yun secretly thought, very satisfied with Guo Ziyun and ready to reuse him.
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 something to report."
"Say!" Qin Yun said simply.
"In the Cangshan area of Jiannan Dao, horse bandits are roaring in the mountains and forests, and their power is growing day by day. Now there are more than 10,000 people! They are burning, killing and looting everywhere, and the common people and merchants stay away."
"If the imperial court does not send troops, I am afraid it will cause a catastrophe!"
Hearing this, Qin Yun had a headache.
I wonder why there are so many things going on in the Great Xia Dynasty. There are natural disasters and horse bandits. This is not a good sign!
"Send troops!" he said decisively, looking at the row of generals: "Which of you is willing to go?"
The generals bowed their heads and said nothing. Who dares to compete for this piece of cake? The Wang family has not made a reservation.
A civil servant immediately stood up and suggested: "Your Majesty, I think Wang Ming, 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. He is also the general of Jinwu Guard. He is well versed in the art of war. He is the only one who can put down the rebellion in Cangshan."
“…”
Qin Yun looked at everything in front of him coldly. Good guy, more than half of the ministers in the court were supporting Wang Ming, the eldest son of the royal family, as if they had spoken out. Many generals were under pressure and did not dare to stand up and compete.
How powerful is the Wang family?
The minister of household affairs, generals, and concubines all came from the same family. Qin Yun was not a fool. In ancient times, there were many such powerful ministers who messed up the government.
"Are there any other generals willing to go?" Qin Yun asked lightly, seemingly just going through the motions, but in fact he didn't want to compromise.
The generals looked at each other in confusion. Most of them were on good terms with the Wang family. There were only a few generals who did not get along with the Wang family. But they also knew that fighting for it was useless, so they simply remained silent.
"Your Majesty, since everyone has no objections, in my opinion, it is better to appoint General Wang Ming as the Grand Marshal of the Bandits, command the three armies, and go to suppress the horse bandits, right?"
An elegant old man wearing purple court clothes stood up and said with a smile.
Qin Yun was completely shocked. This old man's name was Lin Changshu. He was the Prime Minister of the dynasty, and he even wore the same pants as the Su family? Is this going to change the world?!
At the same time, a young general in black armor stood up, it was Wang Ming.
He knelt down and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will share your worries and promise to eradicate all the horse bandits in Cangshan within seven days!"
"General Wang is so courageous! Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to appoint General Wang Ming as the bandit-suppressing marshal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"..."
Some of the civil and military officials in the court took the lead and began to kneel down, asking Qin Yun to make Wang Ming the bandit-suppressing marshal.
Qin Yun's heart was filled with rage. This was purely to force him to be granted the title of Wang Ming.
Can a generalissimo grant rewards at will? If all the generals in the dynasty are commanded by him, how much power can he have?
What really annoyed Qin Yun was that no one from the DPRK ministers stood up to oppose, and only a small number remained silent.
In my memory, the original owner was too bastard, addicted to wine and sex, and too doting on the Wang family, 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. He didn't speak from the beginning.
His name is Xiao Jian, the general of Zuoying in the imperial capital, and the biological brother of Concubine Xiao Shu.
But like Xiao Shufei, he was very unpopular and marginalized because he was dissatisfied with the power of the royal family and wantonly excluded dissidents.
Qin Yun even remembered that once he beat Concubine Xiao Shu, Xiao Jian was so angry that he cursed at himself, and then he sent someone to beat him with a hundred military sticks, almost beating Xiao Jian to death.
Therefore, although they are kings and ministers, in reality they are in harmony with each other in appearance.
Thinking of this, Qin Yun's sense of crisis was overwhelming. As an emperor, he didn't have one or two trustworthy ministers around him.
He said directly: "Xiao Jian, are you sure that the rebellion in Cangshan will be put down?"
