On the second day, Xia Yan did not immediately inquire about Dongchang's news about his father-in-law's front line.
Because last night was the last night.
Normally, the court time is probably the mission settlement time.
Yesterday, nothing was done about the Qingshan City Gate. It is impossible to accomplish anything in such a short time.
No matter what, it’s just that the task was not completed. Anyway, there is no big loss. At most, I will work hard to complete it next time.
However, when Xia Yan arrived at the court, he found that all the ministers were smiling with unspeakable relief.
Seeing this, Xia Yan quickly became unhappy.
Indeed, many cities were occupied some time ago. The three cities of Shenhuang and the three cities of Xidan accounted for six cities in total.
Such results are indeed very gratifying.
But I didn't complete the task. It's obviously inappropriate for you old guys to be so happy.
"Prime Minister Zhu!"
"Hey! The old minister is here!"
Seeing a group of people in high spirits, Xia Yan also decided to perform surgery on the one with the highest position.
"Tell me about you, you are so happy because of these cities, you are smoking and dancing at the same time, how unbecoming is it?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ming's face showed a puzzled expression at first, and then he was quickly relieved.
What the emperor said makes sense!
Those who achieve great things should be able to remain unchanged even if Mount Tai collapses in front of them. Isn’t it just because they have a Castle on the Green Mountain? It’s really not worth it!
Soon, Zhu Ming took a deep breath of Hua Zi and strangled Hua Zi out with two fingers. He spoke as if he was repenting and withdrew.
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. A small town is not worth mentioning!"
After Zhu Ming stepped back, He Shen opened his mouth with a smile and a mustache.
"Your Majesty, you don't know something. In addition to the city, our money has also increased greatly!"
Counting the six cities previously occupied, Qingshan City is undoubtedly the richest among the seven cities, and it is natural for the people to have money to pay taxes.
Not only were the people rich, but the amount of money in Qingshan City Government Office was also unimaginable.
A full three million taels of silver! The other six cities together only amounted to more than one million taels, but this Qingshan City was actually twice as much as the sum of the six cities.
It is unimaginable that such a city with extremely prosperous commerce and trade at the junction can be so wealthy.
And He Shen also believed that this number would make even Xia Yan take a breath, but just when he was about to speak, Xia Yan spoke first.
"It's just some silver, so what's the fuss about it? Besides, no matter how much silver you have, is it yours? It's also for the common people! If it's not your own silver, don't worry about it!"
He Shen was speechless after what he said. Are you saying that he is greedy? He couldn't help but shrink his neck, twitching the corners of his mouth slightly and whispering: "What, could it be that I look like a corrupt official?"
These words were neither light nor serious, but they happened to be heard by Xia Yan. After hearing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Good guy, even your teeth are inlaid with gold, and the most outrageous thing is that even the cigarettes you smoke are inlaid with gold rims. How dare you say that you don’t look like a corrupt official?
If the real Master He in the past life was as high-profile as this guy, he would have been killed by Emperor Qianlong long ago.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yan didn't bother to pay attention to He Shen. Anyway, she couldn't do anything to him, she could just scold him.
The two prime ministers shrank aside after being scolded, but the remaining ministers seemed to think that Xia Yan was so unhappy because the news was not exciting enough.
As a result, Yuan Liyang, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Xu Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhao Zheng, the Minister of Rites, Li Mao, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, Chen Heishan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and Gou Pi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, began to pay homage to each other.
"Your Majesty, the increase in the Ministry of Household Affairs is not just money, food and industry have also increased greatly!"
"Your Majesty, now we are recruiting troops from all over the country, and the number of troops in the country has reached 600,000!"
"Your Majesty, let us build more academies in the occupied cities so that everyone can study!!"
"His Majesty……"
"..."
A group of people talked to each other, and began to talk about what kind of benefits should be given after occupying the six cities, what kind of enhancements Daxia would have, etc.
But these were like needle pricks in Xia Yan's ears.
I don’t like hearing this now, you old guys seem to have itchy skin!
"Damn it, you old guys are so unruly and unruly. You are so proud of the six ruined cities. You are still puffing away. Why is this your home?"
In the living room? If you want to fuck Huazi, do it?"
"I'm so old that I still don't know how to calm down?!"
"The six cities are dead like this, what can you do? Look at me, do I look half satisfied?!"
“!(@&!々%∩⊙!@*!…@!%@￥!@)”
Xia Yan seemed to be in Gatling mode, and all the gentlemen present were scolded by him to vent his anger.
Anyway, the system only tells itself that it cannot govern against the wishes of the majority of ministers, and it does not restrict itself from scolding them. If you don't scold them, it will be in vain.
After scolding for a long time, Xia Yan felt that his anger was almost gone, and he finally felt a little better.
Looking at the stunned people below, Xia Yan's face also returned to calmness: "So, no matter what, you must remember in the future that if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your appearance will not change, and you will have a little ambition."
At this moment, everyone felt as if they had been taught a lesson, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Xia Yan.
"Your Majesty is indeed a master who keeps his emotions and angers secret."
"Well, His Majesty's vision is not comparable to mine."
"That's right, His Majesty the Six Cities didn't take it seriously at all."
"Hmm... something seems wrong. If His Majesty can't express his emotions and anger, why are you scolding us?"
"Also, aren't we seven cities? Why did we become six cities?"
Listening to the mutterings of the people below, Xia Yan didn't pay much attention at first, until he frowned slightly after hearing Qicheng.
"When did the Seventh City exist?"
This is not the time when I didn't have an intelligence agency in the past. I now have Dongchang.
Dongchang's intelligence agencies are spread all over the country, and even many foreign countries have intelligence contact points. If any vassal king newly occupied the city, he would definitely know about it.
Thinking of this, Xia Yan couldn't help but look at Eunuch Yu behind him. He coughed twice and put his mouth to Xia Yan's ear.
"Your Majesty, you left too fast this morning and did not have time to report. The seventh city was captured this morning, and it is the former Xidan Qingshan City that is currently being attacked."
Hearing this, Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, and his whole body seemed motionless as if he had been struck by thunder.
After a long while, he finally regained consciousness and looked at Eunuch Yu with dull eyes.
