Tai Chi Temple.

After the emperor finished the early dynasty, he would generally come to the Taiji Hall to deal with government affairs.

Naturally, Li Cheng did not break this rule.

It's just that......

He looked at the mountains of folds in front of him, and wanted to cry without tears.

In memory, the predecessor was not happy to care about these twists and turns.

It is estimated that it is because the predecessor is lazy, so he can have a full 37-year lifespan, and if he is diligent in government, it will be gone even if it is not three or two clicks.

"If I don't approve these things, it shouldn't be considered an illegal defeat of the country, right?"

Li Cheng said cautiously.

There was silence in his mind, and the system didn't warn him.

Li Cheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't approve it, let's play our own games, and I'll talk about it next year.

Thinking of this, he stretched and propped one hand on the table in front of him, thinking carefully.

Although the Tang Empire is now twilight, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff.

Relying on those moth-eaten courtiers alone, it will take a long time for Datang to fall.

He had to do more to speed up the demise of the Tang Empire......

As for how to do it?

This allows him to think about it.

Li Cheng frowned and kept thinking.

The overall national strength is based on various indicators......

Military, education, science and technology, etc., it is not a matter of time or a half to be defeated.

It's economic, and this piece can be defeated first.

If the economy falls, then all the indicators of Datang's national strength will stagnate, and it is impossible to continue to rise.

It also cut off the possibility of a possible increase in his lifespan.

Li Cheng thought of it, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he said, "Father-in-law Xu, come in." ”

His voice had just fallen.

His personal eunuch Xu Gonggong stepped in and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the slave is here." ”

If you want to defeat the country and collapse the economy, there must be a reason, right?

Li Cheng glanced left and right, and finally his eyes fell on the table where the folds were placed, and said slowly: "Father-in-law Xu, why...... On my table, this embroidered five-clawed golden dragon has only four claws? ”

When Gonggong Xu heard this, he trembled, and hurriedly walked to the table to look at it, and after seeing it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said softly:

"Your Majesty, it's still five-clawed, but one of the claws is covered by a piece of tea."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Didn't scare him to death.

If something happens to the emperor's side.

The first to bear the brunt was him, the personal eunuch.

Li Cheng looked at the table case without a problem, and said coldly: "The dragon's claws are covered by tea leaves, doesn't it mean that my eyes will be blinded by traitors?" ”

Bang!

The old eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in horror: "Your Majesty forgives you!" Your Majesty forgives your sins! ”

Ay.

We have something to say.

Why did you kneel?

"I forgive you for your innocence!"

In desperation, Li Cheng could only hold back such a sentence.

Father-in-law Xu cried with joy and said, "Old slave, thank Your Majesty for forgiveness!" The old slave changed the table ......"

He got up and immediately wanted to go out and order someone to come.

Li Cheng stopped the other party, looked at the table and the glamorous appearance of the Taiji Palace, and said, "Father-in-law Xu, the Taiji Hall and ...... The palace, how long has it not been repaired? ”

Gonggong Xu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Your Majesty, the palace was built since the beginning of Tang Taizu, and today, there are eight generations of emperors. ”

Li Cheng waved his sleeves and said lightly: "Hmm...... The palace has not been repaired for too long, and it has long lost its glorious image of the past, so it was ordered to go down and spend it from the treasury to let the Ministry of Works repair the entire palace. ”

"In addition, I think Chao'an City has not been repaired for too long, so by the way, let the Ministry of Engineering also repair it."

Chaoan Castle.

The capital of the Tang Empire!

When Gonggong Xu heard Li Cheng's words, his old face turned bitter melon color, and he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty......"

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Gonggong Xu, and said, "Do you think what I said shouldn't be?" ”

Even a eunuch would have the courage to prevent him from defeating the country.

He's the emperor, okay.

Gonggong Xu hurriedly knelt on the ground again, and said in horror: "The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave doesn't dare to go against Your Majesty's will, it's really that the treasury is not enough to support Your Majesty to repair the palace and ...... Chao'an Castle is up. ”

Not enough treasury?

Datang treasury out of money?

Good thing!

Li Cheng asked, "How much money is left in the treasury?" ”

Gonggong Xu's voice trembled with fright, and said, "Your Majesty! The treasury has only ...... It's only a million silver taels......"

A million silver taels?

Is there only one million taels of silver left in a country's treasury?

What can you do with a million silver taels? Not even to support the army to fight.

One could even say that.

Now that there is an invasion of foreign enemies, the Tang Empire is powerless to resist.

Tsk, I'm afraid there are a lot of traitors in the Tang Empire who are corrupting, right?

Is......

Well done!

Li Cheng said with a smile: "Gonggong Xu, tell me, which loyal minister does most of the treasury and silver flow into...... Phew, it's in the traitor's pocket. ”

Gonggong Xu hurriedly took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, most of them were withdrawn by the prime minister in the name of Your Majesty, and I also ask Your Majesty to take a look." ”

Li Cheng took a look.

I couldn't help but be shocked.

Boy.

Three months ago, the prime minister withdrew 30 million taels of silver from the state treasury on the pretext of 'keeping the army running'.

Two and a half months ago, the prime minister withdrew 10 million taels of silver from the state treasury on the grounds that 'the child in the family is full of moons'.

Two months ago, the prime minister withdrew 5 million taels of silver from the state treasury on the pretext of 'marrying a concubine'.

……

Seven days ago, the prime minister withdrew three million taels of silver from the state treasury on the grounds that he had no money to eat.

Since then, the treasury has been empty.

This prime minister ......

He is really a pillar of the country!!

The more Li Cheng looked at it, the more pleased he became, he still underestimated this prime minister.

It's not a moth, it's his love! His comrades-in-arms!

Gonggong Xu saw that Li Cheng was speechless, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty is angry, if Your Majesty wants to take down the prime minister, please borrow the old slave tiger talisman to use, and the old slave will immediately mobilize the army and take down the prime minister......"

"Take a chicken ......"

Li Cheng said happily: "Prime Minister, this is all for the benefit of the Tang Dynasty!" Although these reasons are all written personal reasons, who is the prime minister? How could he possibly put these taels of silver in his pocket? Even if you put it in your pocket, it must be a problem at home. ”

"Spread my word! Draw 900,000 taels of silver from the treasury and send it to the prime minister! Be sure to keep him working hard and don't give up! The Tang Dynasty behind him hasn't fallen yet, so he has to work harder! ”

Datang has this person.

He doesn't have to worry about it.

Will be able to go back soon!

The rich second generation lives, and I'm coming back soon!

Gonggong Xu's face was full of confusion, but he still nodded and said, "Obey Your Majesty's holy decree!" ”

Li Cheng nodded excitedly, the system didn't warn him, proving that it was okay to send money to these courtiers?

It's a pity that his treasury is only one million taels, and he must keep 100,000 taels for daily expenses, otherwise he will definitely send all 1 million taels to the prime minister.

It's good to lose the country!

I like this kind of prime minister the most!
