How big is Tianxiang's small country?

Eight hundred miles expedited, that's not an ordinary thing.

I've always heard that being an emperor is boring, and many emperors are tired to death.

Zhang Wei has only been the emperor for half a day, and he feels that he is really busy!

"Bring it on!"

Zhang Wei sat down, Fukangan took the post and sent it directly.

Unwrapping the gold wire bag and removing the three pieces of fire paint, Zhang Wei looked anxious and couldn't help frowning.

"Drought in Shuzhou, no harvest and famine?"

Zhang Wei searched the emperor's memory, there must be a precursor to the drought, such as how long it had not rained before, Heze dried up, etc., there should be a recital, but Zhang Wei didn't think of any recitals.

"Passed on the right phase and the head of the household. ”

The outside of the city was still being cleaned, and the two ministers quickly entered the palace.

I couldn't put the emperor in my eyes before, but it can be seen that after seeing today's events, the mentality of the two is different.

Tianxiang Kingdom did not kneel and worship, but the two knelt down when they entered the hall.

"The ministers knock on Your Majesty, Your Majesty ...... everything"

"Okay, get up!" Zhang Wei waved his hand, walked down the golden hall, and handed the report to the two of them: "Let's take a look!"

The two of them looked at it, and their eyelids jumped.

The right minister is an old man with gray hair, who seems to be old and serious, and expressed his opinion at this time: "Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to let Shuzhou open a warehouse and put grain and porridge, and at the same time ...... The household department should calculate the amount of money needed for disaster relief, and then ......"

"Your Majesty!" Tobe Shangshu's face turned pale, and he knelt down again, interrupting the words of the right minister: "The minister is dead!"

Zhang Wei was surprised: "I haven't spoken yet, what is Lord Qin dying?"

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......" Qin Wannian's cold sweat dripped down: "The household department is in charge of the treasury, but ...... Now there is no money in the treasury!"

"Out of money?"

Zhang Wei laughed when he heard this, why is there so much of this?

"Yes, still ...... There are less than 20,000 taels!"

"What!"

Zhang Wei didn't speak, and the right minister was already stupid.

The treasury of a country is less than 20,000 taels?

"Is Lord Qin joking? When the first emperor was alive, he did not build a palace, the taxes were not bad, there were not many natural and man-made disasters, and the gold and silver in the treasury were only used for some people's livelihood. And since I succeeded to the throne......"

"Your Majesty, don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, you really have no money!" Qin Wannian lay on the ground, his head pressed to the ground.

"Where's the money?"

"Your Majesty, do you remember that when the first emperor was here last year, all the princes were in Tianxiang City?" Qin Wannian hurriedly said: "At that time, the first emperor designated His Majesty to succeed him, and at the same time ordered the princes to let them leave Tianxiang City and go to the fiefdom immediately. ”

"The treasury was moved by them?"

"It's not them, it's the King of Shu. Before the king of Shu left, he said that he would come to borrow a sum of money, and the minister ......"

"You borrowed it?"

Qin Wannian's lying body trembled, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Zhang Tai, the king of Shu, was the person who the Queen Mother kept herself guarded against.

"The treasury is taken from the people for the people, when will it be possible to borrow money privately?" Zhang Wei smiled and couldn't see a trace of anger.

The right phase felt that the wind and rain were coming, and the thunder was condensing.

"The king of Shu borrowed the silver from the treasury, and now there is a drought and famine in Shu, and he has asked people for 800 miles to urgently ask for money and grain. Interesting, interesting......" Zhang Wei smiled: "Right Minister, do you think this matter is true or false?"

"Your Majesty thinks it's fake?"

"Can there be a harbinger of the disaster in Shu before?"

The right minister was stunned: "The minister is in a hurry, and there is indeed no report in this regard." But...... The King of Shu wouldn't be so bold, would he? The King of Shu was enlightened at the age of three, and he could sit down with the Great Confucian at fifteen years old, and he ......."

"Don't you think he even dares to borrow money from the treasury?"

A man as fat as a fat pig appeared in Zhang Wei's mind: dead fat, even my treasury dared to be emptied, he was too bold!

"Dead ...... How much did Zhang Tai take?"

"Twenty-two million taels!"

"You ......" You Xiang listened dizzy: "Twenty-two million taels! Lord Qin, how did you do it without any rumors coming out, and you actually gave it to him?"

"Lord Right Minister, the lower official is just ......"

Zhang Wei smiled coldly and interrupted Qin Wannian: "You say, how many people can be fed by 22 million taels, has he now formed an army of hundreds of thousands and is ready to rebel?"

Rebel?

It was like a thunderbolt bombarding the heads of the two people, and the heads of people outside the city were rolling, and they were still cleaning, could it be that Shuzhou was ......

But when you think about it, it seems to make sense.

When the first emperor was there, King Cheng and King Shu had their own advantages in the court, and they both thought that they were the best candidates for the crown prince and were the material for the emperor.

However, life is like stinky tofu, you don't know if it's stinky or fragrant if you don't taste it.

As a result, both of them are out, can this be endured?

Therefore, Zhang Chengqian stayed in Tianxiang City and rebelled.

And Zhang Tai took the money from the treasury before leaving.

"I heard that when Zhang Tai left, there were hundreds of carts loaded with books, and now it seems that they are filled with silver from the treasury, and it is really a golden house in the book. Compared with Zhang Chengqian, Zhang Tai is indeed smarter, and at the age of fifteen he can sit and talk with a group of pedantic nerds, which is true. ”

Zhang Wei said, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl: "When he goes to the fiefdom, he is like the emperor of the soil, who in Shuzhou can not help, not to mention that his mother is still from the Shuzhou family." Although there are no elite soldiers trained in a year, it should not be much of a problem to have armor, weapons, recruit troops, and hoard grain and grass. Drought ......"

"Your Majesty, whether it's true or not, you should let people enter Shuzhou to check!"

The two adults remembered that Concubine Yang, Zhang Tai's mother, was from Shuzhou.

But why did the first emperor want Shuzhou as Zhang Tai's fiefdom, isn't this a tiger for trouble?

"Are you wondering, why is the first emperor so unwise?"

What he thought in his heart was seen through by Zhang Wei at a glance, and the two hurriedly shook their heads: "Don't dare!"

"The first emperor wants to tell me that I was born in sorrow and died in peace! As a king, you must always be vigilant about yourself. After all, even his own brother will oppose him, so everything is possible in this world!"

"At the same time, the first emperor also wanted me to subdue Shuzhou. ”

"Acceptance...... Shuzhou?" Qin Wannian thought he had misheard.

Shuzhou is the land of Tianxiang Country, and it still needs to be subdued?

The right prime minister, Lao Cheng Mouguo, immediately understood: "The minister understands, it's just ...... The stakes are high!"

Qin Wannian raised his head and glanced at the right minister: What does the right minister understand, why don't I understand?

"It's because the stakes are so high that it seems that it can't be delayed any longer. Whether it is the first emperor or the ancestor, he has always wanted to do this, but he has no choice. If I don't do it, I'm afraid that in a few years, the dynasty will be overturned. ”

"It's just that Your Majesty is fully prepared, the first emperor has been preparing for decades and hasn't done anything, you ......"

The two of them asked and answered, and Qin Wannian's head was blank: What are you talking about?

Zhang Wei grinned: "Everything has to wait for everything to be prepared, when will it be? You are preparing, and the other party is also preparing, not to mention that this time the opportunity is not good? The King of Shu took the initiative to hand over a knife!"

"Your Majesty......" The right minister still thinks it's inappropriate.

"That's it. Zhang Wei flicked his sleeves, turned around and returned to the dragon chair and said: "Shuzhou drought, I am ready to make an edict!"
