Li Huaiyuan didn't take Gonggong Liu, who came out to attack him, so he slapped the dust away directly, and slapped Gonggong Liu with the other hand.

Gonggong Liu slapped a palm with all his strength and slammed it with Li Huaiyuan, and the next moment, he directly spurted out a mouthful of blood.

But Liu Gonggong did not retreat, he stabilized his body, shook the dust in his hand again, and when he dodged the bullet after Li Huaiyuan's blow, his dust instantly entangled Li Huaiyuan's body, making Li Huaiyuan's center of gravity unstable.

When Li Huaiyuan's body was unstable, Gonggong Liu stepped forward again, hugged Li Huaiyuan's body and shouted:

"Your Majesty......"

Qin Ming never let go of the trigger in his hand, and at this moment, he found the opportunity to aim at Li Huaiyuan, who couldn't move, and fired a burst of fire.

Li Huaiyuan was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he used all his strength to shake it hard, directly shaking Gonggong Liu's body upside down and flying out.

Then Li Huaiyuan was ready to dodge, but it was too late at this time, and the next moment, two bullets hit him directly in the abdomen, making him cry out in pain.

But he still endured the pain, quickly dodged the bullets, quickly retreated, stomped his feet on the ground, performed light skills, and went into the distance.

Seeing this, the secret guards and the Praetorian Guards wanted to chase after them, but Qin Ming stretched out his hand to stop them, saying: "No need to chase, the seven-rank master is extremely strong, even if he is shot twice, you can't catch up with him if you go." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to Gonggong Liu.

After Gonggong Liu stood up holding his chest, Qin Ming spoke: "How is it?" ”

"The old slave is fine!" Gonggong Liu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Qin Ming nodded, then groaned, and said, "You take care of your injuries first, Li Huaiyuan is also seriously injured, and if you want to come, you don't dare to come to me for trouble." ”

"Yes!" Gonggong Liu nodded.

Then Qin Ming looked at the group of imperial relatives again, and said lightly: "Who among you is in the line of the imperial concubine?" ”

As soon as they heard this, all the relatives of the emperor became nervous.

Among them, there was a woman in her forties, and a middle-aged man in her fifties slowly stood up, and beside the woman, there was a girl of eighteen or nineteen.

When they came out, they knelt on the ground, knowing that the day might be over.

"Your Majesty, this is the daughter of the Imperial Ancestor's concubine, Princess Qing, next to her concubine, the girl is the daughter of Princess Qing, the lord of Qingyang." Liu Gong said openly.

Qin Ming glanced at the three of them and said, "The Imperial Ancestor Concubine lived in the palace back then, and it all depended on her giving birth to a prince, right?" ”

Gonggong Liu said: "Your Majesty, the prince of the imperial concubine, is now a vassal king, in a state capital in the south. ”

Qin Ming nodded slightly, and said: "Passing the decree, the imperial ancestor concubine, colluded with her brother to do great rebellious things, and now, all the titles and treatments of my vein have been reduced to commoners." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, what about the Imperial Ancestor Concubine?" Gonggong Liu asked.

Qin Ming snorted: "When her son was crowned king, she should have left the palace to go to her son's fiefdom, it is enough to occupy the palace for so many years and enjoy it, since she has been reduced to a commoner, then drive her out of the palace." ”

"What does the old slave mean, don't you kill it......" Gonggong Liu asked.

Qin Ming was stunned, an old woman about seventy years old, Qin Ming didn't have the heart to kill him.

On the ground, Princess Qing's family of three sat on the ground, their eyes full of despair.

All of a sudden, from a noble royal relative to a common person, where can they accept this?

After enjoying so many years, what do you do to survive as a flat-headed citizen?

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, I beg you not to cut off our titles...... We...... We can't survive......"

When Qin Ming was about to leave, suddenly Princess Qing's daughter, Lord Qingyang, came over and hugged Qin Ming's leg and begged Qin Ming.

Qin Ming frowned, not only did he not feel pitiful, but he was also a little bored, and said:

"Moths, you can't live without the country to support you? Hmph, in that case, you should take all your privileges. ”

Saying that, Qin Ming waved his sleeves, turned to leave, and spoke at the same time: "Drive them out of the palace!" ”

Now Qin Ming is the emperor, and his words are almost impossible for anyone to disobey.

Therefore, on the same day, a holy decree came out, and all the emperor's ancestors, including the concubine, withdrew all titles and titles and were demoted to commoners.

On that day, the Imperial Concubine was still waiting for the good news that her brother had killed Qin Ming, but she never thought that what was waiting for her was a group of Praetorian Guards to send her out of the palace.

Outside the palace gate, the imperial concubine looked at her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter, and suffered a great blow.

Only then did she realize what a big consequence her momentary stupidity had, which could have been enjoyed by future generations, but now she has destroyed it, and the family she has harmed now doesn't know what to do with the next meal.

Even her son who is far away in the south, a prince who has no power but has no worries about fine clothes and food all his life, can be here, with nothing......

At this point, regret and nothing can be remedied.

Qingxin Palace, at night, Qin Ming was still watching the folds.

Gonggong Liu waited on the side, and when Qin Ming had almost seen the folds, he brought some snacks to Qin Ming.

"Your Majesty, take a break."

Qin Ming nodded, took a sip of tea, and said, "Recently, the treasury has been empty, I looked at the accounts, there is almost no place for the imperial court to use money now, why is there so much silver missing?" ”

Gonggong Liu said: "The expenses of the imperial court are not much during this time, but the harem, as well as many imperial relatives and relatives, have a lot of silver!" ”

Even if the harem is over, the emperor's relatives can also take the silver at will?

Liu Gonggong said:

"They often open some accounts of their daily expenses and go to the household department to cry about the poor. These royal relatives are all supported by the imperial court, and their status is noble, and the household department looks at their accounts, as long as it is not excessive, they can only give money. ”

"Moths, moths all over the body!" Qin Ming slapped the table and continued:

"The officials don't dare to be corrupt, but these royal relatives and relatives have changed their ways to spend money in the household department, it's really ridiculous, you sent me the household book."

Liu Gonggong sent someone to pass on the book of the household department.

As for the matter of money, Qin Ming may not have taken a fancy to it before, but now, he attaches great importance to it.

First of all, the development and construction of the Chu State, which one does not need money?

Money must be available to kick-start development.

Therefore, it is impossible for Qin Ming to let the country's money be consumed by these moths, and even if necessary, he will clean up these moths.

Anyway, he had this idea for a long time.

Not long after, the head of the household department came, and after kneeling down to worship Qin Ming, Qin Ming spoke directly: "From today on, no matter who the emperor's relatives are, they are not allowed to take a tael of silver in the household department." ”

Tobe Shangshu was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, then what do they ......spend?"

"I don't care about this, and the court shouldn't pay for them." Qin Ming said.

Hubu Shangshu was worried: "I'm afraid that they won't accept it." ”

"Not convinced? That's the best, I'm just trying to find a reason to clean up these moths. Qin Ming said lightly.
