Liu Zhong had a bad premonition in his heart. He always felt that the conversation between Jiang Ning and Hu Yawen was meant for him.
What am I doing for you? It’s just a shame!
Just when he was still slandering in his heart, Jiang Ning's eyes fell on Liu Zhong, "National Master, now the Ministry of Industry is encountering difficulties, I think the National Master will not let me down!"
Well…
For a moment, Liu Zhong's expression froze. What he was worried about happened.
Sure enough, it was for him!
The corner of Liu Zhong's mouth twitched. Damn it, you are trying to trick me to death!
But he still said: "Your Majesty, this... this may be a bit difficult to handle!"
"After all, the treasury is empty now!"
Treasury empty?
This sentence is true!
Jiang Ning believes it, but you guys who are cheating are not in vain!
Everyone is greedy and perverting the law, and they are fat and fat. Do you think I don't know?
Being an official means you will inevitably be greedy, it is just a matter of more or less!
Jiang Ning is a modern person. What hasn’t he seen on TV and movies?
"Difficult to handle?"
Jiang Ning frowned and said in a deep voice: "Master, it's difficult for you to handle this. I'm afraid it won't be easy for me to explain to Hu Shangshu!"
"After all, I promised him, and you also issued a military order!"
"What do you think?"
Take action when it's time to take action, and issue military orders at this time.
Liu Zhong naturally didn't expect Jiang Ning to be waiting for him here.
My face turned dark and I was so angry...
Jiang Ning did not give Liu Zhong a chance to speak, and continued: "Master, I originally wanted you to raise 1.5 million taels, but I guess you will also have difficulties, so why not do this! I will reduce the amount by 500,000 taels, what do you think?
?”
Liu Zhong, as the current imperial advisor, naturally could not keep his word without keeping his word.
If he does this, he will lose credibility and find it difficult to convince the public.
What's more, there is also a big guillotine like a military order. Once it falls, it will kill you in minutes.
Liu Zhong was worried that Jiang Ning would use these opportunities to deal with him. Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart and compromised first!
I'll wait until my second son comes back.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please give it a try!"
Jiang Ning sneered in his heart, "Boy, do you think I won't take advantage of you today?"
"The ability of the Imperial Master is obvious to all the officials. I believe in you!"
If you want to destroy someone, you can just praise him.
This is called killing!
Liu Zhong now has 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart. Little thing, please give me eye drops and just wait. Sooner or later, I will kill you!
Little emperor...you must die!
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Ning waved his hand, "I am also telling the truth!"
Turning around, he said to Xu Wenqing again, "This year, the capital inspection will give the National Preceptor a special reward. A humeral city like this should be rewarded!"
Xu Wenqing nodded, "Yes... Your Majesty!"
As for Hu Yawen, he was very happy because he never expected that His Majesty would be so good at causing trouble.
Sigh... As for the other ministers, their faces are not very good-looking, and the reason is simple. The national teacher can raise a few coins without having to pay out of his own pocket.
In the end, the wool comes from the sheep, and they are the unlucky ones!
Each and every one of them wanted to cry but had no tears, and even wanted to die!
Emperor Wu, why did he become so wise all of a sudden?
Jiang Ning looked around. He had also studied psychology in his previous life, so he naturally understood what the ministers in front of him were thinking about.
However, this has nothing to do with him anymore, he can just be the hands-off shopkeeper.
As the saying goes, the above sentence will cause the person below to break his leg.
Now he can experience this feeling too.
So sour!
"My dear friends, if you have something to do, please call me, but if nothing happens, please retreat!"
Jiang Ning stood up and put his hands behind his back, looking like a young hero.
Liu Zhong had a dark face and felt miserable, but he couldn't speak out and chose to remain silent!
As for the civil and military officials, they don't want to wade into troubled waters, because Emperor Wu doesn't play according to the routine at all!
No one knows what he will do next!
"Since there is nothing to do, just retreat from the court!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
…
All civil and military officials came out of Wuming Hall, gathering in small groups and whispering.
Except for the smiling faces of the six ministers, everyone else looked as ugly as their dead parents.
The main reason is that I have to pay again, so everyone is sad.
Liu Zhong had a dark face and looked around at the civil and military officials meaningfully. It was already obvious what he meant.
At this time, Hu Yawen stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "National Master, I thank you from the OEM Department!"
"Thank you for helping the Ministry of Industry this time. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do!"
Liu Zhong snorted in his heart, why are you pretending to be crazy?
However, he said with a smile but not a smile: "Hu Shangshu, we are officials in the same dynasty, so naturally we have to solve problems for His Majesty, even small things!"
Liu Zhong's face now has awe-inspiring righteousness written on it.
For your Majesty and for the Wu Dynasty, I will not hesitate to devote myself to death!
Hu Yawen didn't say anything, but she was slandering in her heart. She was so damn good at pretending!
I have no choice but to surrender, and the ability to pretend to be a brat only needs Liu Zhong... Or can I say that he can grow into a powerful minister and bring trouble to all parties?
"What the Imperial Master said is true, we should learn from you!"
Hu Yawen got money from Liu Zhong today, so he was naturally willing to praise him.
Anyway, you don’t need real money to flatter someone.
Moreover, in this court, it would be better to flatter him more.
"Hu Shangshu is very polite. If nothing happens, I will leave first!" Liu Zhong was now thinking about how to take the meat out of the minister's mouth.
Hu Yawen smiled slightly, cupped his hands and saluted, "Congratulations to the Imperial Master!"
Not long after, Xu Wenqing came up and joked: "Hu Shangshu, it seems that you are very flattering today!"
Hu Yawen rolled his eyes unhappily and rubbed his slightly upturned mustache, "Xu Shangshu, when you should be flattering, you should also be flattering. Look, isn't this just money? We work for the royal family, why should we be at odds with money?
?”
Xu Wenqing said: "As expected of Hu Shangshu, he is very enlightened!"
Hu Yawen got another sum of money today. He was happy and didn't care about anything else.
"Haha...Xu Shangshu, in the future, if officials from the Ministry of Personnel cannot receive their salaries, you can come to our Ministry of Works to raise funds. I will definitely not be stingy!"
Xu Wenqing snorted, "Don't worry, I will definitely borrow it one day!"
"Very good, very good!"
Hu Yawen waved his hand, proudly, and left swaggeringly.
"Haha...look at how successful you are as a villain!"
…
Jiang Ning returned to the back of the palace, took a scimitar from the Golden Dragon Guard, and went to the Imperial Garden.
One hundred blows each in the morning, noon and evening. This is a physical job, so I eat my fill first and then start drawing the sword.
With a swish sound, the scimitar was unsheathed, and a cold light burst out, making the cold heart tremble.
Jiang Ning weighed it and held it in his hand. The portion was okay!
So, he started slashing with his sword for the first time, and took out the sword...
