As early as when Luo Qi had just returned from Tonghua City, Luo Yuan told her the information about Mo Shen that he had investigated.

Mo Shen was indeed personally invited by Emperor Chen to be a minister.

And his identity was found out to be from Qi State, his parents were in business, but when he came to Chen State to visit relatives a few years ago, he unfortunately encountered mountain bandits on the way, so both of them died.

As long as there is some power behind this, it can be easily checked, and presumably Emperor Chen also knows it.

It seems that the family background is innocent and clear, but there is nothing to check.

But Luo Yuan was suspicious, so he still integrated all the information, looked at it again and again in detail, and finally found something too normal.

There are always some people who are helping Mo Shen intentionally or unintentionally in the name of kindness.

He searched for melons and found out that those "kind-hearted people" were people from the Situ family of Qi State.

Since he is involved with the Situ family, how can he be a simple person?

Luo Qi looked at the serious expression of the young man in front of him, and knew that his brother's worries were not unreasonable.

She nodded heavily, "Well, my sister will stay away from him." "But only if he didn't count her.

The next day, Luo Qi finally returned to the government and the opposition after about a month.

In the splendid Jinluan Palace, the five-clawed golden dragon is wrapped around the four pillars painted with auspicious clouds in the hall, showing its majesty with teeth and claws.

The Manchu civil and military forces have gathered below, waiting for their king.

Before Emperor Chen arrived, the ministers were in groups, each muttering something about the recent events in a low voice.

"Childe is worthy of being a childe, if he hadn't been there that day, Prime Minister Zhao wouldn't have known how much anger he would have to bear!"

"Sure enough, he is His Majesty's favorite minister, and he easily changed His Majesty's mind."

"I heard that yesterday the household servant stopped the son, I don't know what the son said to him, today he actually took leave."

"We have to be careful in today's political discussion, and try to avoid arguing with the son."

"That's right, it's not good to be angry with yourself......"

Luo Qi has a keen hearing, so he heard the content of everyone's conversation, and most of the topics were around Gongzimo.

She was surprised, as far as she knew, Gongzi Mo had always kept a low profile, and even if he was full of talent, he didn't want to show it in front of others.

I don't know if it's His Majesty's intention or his own will, but he is willing to discuss matters with his ministers!

Then I remembered what Luo Yuan said about Gongzimo, and secretly wrote it down in my heart not to have too much to do with him.

Soon, the sharp and long voice of Chief Manager Li sounded outside the hall, "Your Majesty has arrived~"

Hearing this, the ministers immediately stood up and lowered their heads.

Luo Qi stood first on the right side, and after the bright yellow dragon robe passed by, she felt that someone suddenly stood beside her.

Looking sideways slightly, I only saw that the person was wearing light ink-colored clothes, giving people a very calm feeling.

Childe Mo?

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"All love is exempt."

After a set of processes, many ministers reported and proposed things were trivial and ordinary, Luo Qi did not speak, only listened quietly.

Now that the three kingdoms are in full swing, on the surface, they are safe and do not interfere with each other, and there are no serious natural and man-made disasters, so the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The things discussed in the court are nothing more than the issue of taxation, which has little to do with the generals.

The man beside her, like her, stood quietly without saying a word from beginning to end.

In Tudi, the issue of military pay was mentioned.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is one thing that can reduce unnecessary financial expenditures." Tobe Shangshu stood up and said loudly.

Chen Huang raised his eyebrows, his eyes were interesting, "Oh? Then Aiqing will first talk about what are the unnecessary financial expenditures. ”

As a king, it is natural to want the treasury to be as full as possible.

"Military spending."

As soon as these words came out, the entire government and the opposition were in an uproar, and they whispered below.

"This military expenditure has indeed increased in recent years."

"The main reason is that the war with Shan Yuguo in the past few years took a long time, and in those years I recruited troops and horses from time to time, and now that the war is over, I still have to keep that group of soldiers and horses!"

Luo Qi listened to the words of the ministers around him and gradually fell into deep thought.

After glancing at the left and right, Hubu Shangshu said: "Now that I have too many soldiers and horses in Chen Guo, I need to consume a lot of financial resources every year in terms of military salary expenditure. ”

He paused, took a serious look at the figure on the dragon chair, and then slowly bowed his head and bowed again.

"Therefore, the minister has the audacity to propose to reduce the army and reduce the soldiers' salaries!"

When the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the hall like death, and the ministers were stunned, and what echoed in their minds was the sentence just now.

Reducing the army and reducing the salaries of soldiers.

A smile slowly appeared in Emperor Chen's eyes, "What Aiqing said is not unreasonable, what do you think?" ”

"The minister thinks that the head of the household is reasonable."

"The minister seconded the proposal, now that the country is safe and secure, it is undoubtedly expensive to raise this group of soldiers."

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the problem of redundant troops must be solved, which is a good way, and it will kill multiple birds with one stone."

"The minister seconded the ......"

More and more ministers agreed to this proposal, but Luo Qi's expression became colder and colder.

After everyone finished speaking, Luo Qi stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this move is inappropriate! I'm too impatient. ”

She turned her head and looked at Hubu Shangshu coldly, "Did Shangshu think of the consequences of this move?" ”

"It's just to cause some soldiers to be dissatisfied, and it would be good to appease them with a little more military pay at first, but from the perspective of the whole national situation, this move couldn't be better."

"Huh! How good could it be? Luo Qi snorted coldly, his eyes became colder and colder, "I'm afraid that Shangshu doesn't understand the current situation, then Luo Qi will tell you a good story." ”

She raised her head slightly, raised her voice and said: "Now it is the overall situation of the three kingdoms, and it seems to be peaceful, but once one of them reduces its army, its national strength will be affected. The other two kingdoms are eyeing each other, and if they are not careful, they will be annexed. ”

Many ministers who understood the situation nodded unconsciously after hearing this.

"Not only that, but the reduction of soldiers' salaries is undoubtedly a sign to them that there is no war now, they have no place to use, and the country does not support useless people! Do you really think that once this move comes out, there will be no army riots in my Chen country? ”

Tobe Shangshu listened to her words, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and the hand under his sleeve involuntarily trembled slightly.

"Isn't that a good idea?"

Mo Shen looked sideways at the person beside her, her little face was full of seriousness, her eyes were very bright at the moment, her voice was sonorous and powerful, revealing a confidence that belonged to her.

This sharp look, well, is a little fox that only shows its minions.

After listening to what she said, Tobe Shangshu lowered his head and stopped talking, and many ministers who had just said "ministers seconded the ......" changed their minds.

"The consequences that General Luo speculated on are indeed reasonable."

"Yes! If so, then the move is indeed worth the cost. ”

"Sure enough, she is a world-famous female general, so thoughtful and long-term......"

Just as the ministers gradually agreed with Luo Qi's analysis and were about to oppose this proposal, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly sounded......
