In the late autumn of Yanjing City, there is a little more depression and loneliness, occasionally a black crow falls on the bare tree, and the ugly cry makes people feel more irritable, the weather is gradually getting cooler, and there are fewer people on the street, which looks more depressed.

Occasionally, a pedestrian walks by, and his face is cold and hard, and he walks in a hurry. The Forbidden City is still located there, as if time has not left any traces on this city, it is still so majestic and intimidating.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was walking in the imperial garden of the Forbidden City at this time, the autumn leaves were falling, the withered yellow leaves were floating on the lake, and the mood of the Weather Emperor was also a little low. Sighing softly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced back at Liu Yijing, and said in a deep voice: "It's already September, the weather is gradually getting cooler, and this year's luck must be kept smooth." The silver of Cao Yun should be distributed this morning, and the money should not be owed to the fiber households, and the smooth flow of grain should be ensured. ”

"The emperor can rest assured, this matter is the top priority, the six ministries and the cabinet are all staring, and there will be no mistakes." Liu Yijing bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said in a respectful tone.

Nodding slightly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse turned his gaze to Wang Chengen on the side, and said with a frown: "You will send an edict to Dongchang in a while, so that the Wei Dynasty can keep an eye on this matter and ensure that the silver is in the hands of the slender family." If you find out which official is greedy for this silver tael, report it directly to me. You tell Wei Chao that if he can't handle this matter well, he won't care about Dongchang! ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the slave and maid remember, wait for the slave and maid to go to the East Factory." Wang Chengen saluted respectfully, but a trace of worry flashed on his face, he could feel that the Emperor of the Apocalypse disliked the Wei Dynasty more and more, and he was really sweating for the Wei Dynasty now.

Liu Yijing on the side was approving at this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was able to use Jinyiwei and Dongchang in these places, which made him feel very stable. As for those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, in Liu Yijing's view, they all deserve it.

Walking forward, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said to Liu Yijing again: "Although this year's salt tax can only be received for one quarter before the year, there will be a lot of silver, and I don't know the specifics." The Cabinet will handle this matter carefully in conjunction with the six ministries, and there must be no mistakes. You must know that this is the largest amount of silver in the treasury this year, and the salaries of officials and military salaries in various places at the end of the year will all be in this silver, so you must be doubly careful. ”

Liu Yijing's expression suddenly became serious, this year, the Emperor of the Apocalypse inspected the Lianghuai salt case and punished a large number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Now that the imperial court has been able to collect the salt tax, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all curious about how much silver they can receive.

"The emperor can rest assured, the cabinet will go back and issue a note and strictly order a local official to actively cooperate. The Inspectorate will also send a special inspector to organize and dispatch, and there will be no problem. Liu Yijing's face suddenly became serious, and he looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse and reassured.

Nodding slightly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Liu Yijing, and said with a smile on his face: "Since Aiqing became the deputy assistant of the cabinet, things have been handled in an orderly manner, and I have not been disappointed. ”

"The emperor appreciates, these are just the duties of the ministers, and the courtiers do their best to do things for the emperor, which is what they should do." Liu Yijing hurriedly bowed down to salute, but there was still a hint of joy in his eyes.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Liu Yijing with a smile and said in a deep voice: "Aiqing, do you know what I value you the most? ”

"Back to the emperor, the minister doesn't know!" Liu Yijing was slightly stunned, and said with a bit of expectation on his face.

"What I value is Aiqing's character, and Aiqing, as the second assistant of the cabinet, does what the first assistant of the cabinet does. For such a long time, I have never heard anything from Aiqing, and you have never heard any gossip, I know that these are all the credit of Aiqing, and I am very relieved. The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Liu Yijing with a smile and said with appreciation in his tone.

Liu Yijing, who was on the side, had a smile on his face, bowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is a wise lord, the king of Zhongxingming." The minister was able to support the emperor in his lifetime, and it was the honor of the minister's three lives. Liu Yijing said with a serious face and a serious expression.

Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, had another idea, even if Liu Yijing had any ideas, it was useless. The position of Sun Chengzong, the first assistant of the cabinet, is something that no one can shake, and it is necessary to have merit and prestige. At the same time, he is also the teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse trusts Sun Chengzong even more, and Liu Yijing's ideas are in vain.

"Okay, that's all for today, Aiqing has nothing to do, let's go back first!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse waved his hand and said to Liu Yijing with a smile.

"Retire!" He bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, turned around and walked outside.

Looking around, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, turned to Wang Chengen and said, "It's almost over, go back!" How's the Queen's side? ”.

"Back to the emperor, everything is fine on the queen's side, and the queen's mother is about to give birth, so everyone is very careful." Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed down and saluted, with a happy smile on his face, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has been on the throne for more than two years, and now there is no prince, which is really a little unreasonable.

Now that Empress Zhang is pregnant, if she can give birth to a prince for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, she will be the future crown prince. Now the entire palace is looking forward to this matter, whether it is the queen mother or the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

Hearing Wang Chengen's answer, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded lightly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse in history had no heirs. Many historical records record that Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan secretly did it, which is also the direct reason why the Emperor of the Apocalypse killed these two people so quickly.

Back in the warm pavilion, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did the back of the dragon book case, and just turned over a few twists and turns, Wang Chengen strode in, saluted respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Dongchang Wei Dynasty is asking to see you outside." ”

At this time, Wang Chengen's face was not very good-looking, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had just mentioned the Wei Dynasty, and at this time he himself bumped into it. I hope it's a good thing, otherwise the Wei Dynasty will definitely be more than lucky.

Putting down the fold in his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and said, "Do you know what the matter is?" ”

Hearing Emperor Apocalypse ask this, Wang Chengen knew that Emperor Apocalypse didn't want to see the Wei Dynasty, but there was no way back at this time. Hoping that the Wei Dynasty would bring good news, he bowed respectfully and said: "Back to the emperor, the slave doesn't know, Father-in-law Wei said that the matter is very important, and he must report to the emperor in person." ”

Waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a calm face: "Let him in!" ”

After a short time, Wei Chao walked in from outside, picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Slaves and maids see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Glancing at the Wei Dynasty, the Emperor of the Apocalypse found that the Wei Dynasty seemed to be a lot older, and he was slightly stunned, and his heart was slightly unbearable. Nodding his head, he said, "Get up!" How did you get it like this? Except for what? ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave and maid only occasionally feel cold, and there is no big problem." Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at him with concern, Wei Chao's heart suddenly felt a little warm, although the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked down on him, but he said from the bottom of his heart that it was still good.

"Go back and let the Imperial Doctor take a good look, don't have any problems!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded with a smile and said in a soft tone.

Wei Chao's face was moved, and his lips trembled and said: Emperor Xie, the slave can get such a few words from the emperor, and his body is suddenly a lot better. ”

Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse shifted the topic to business and said, "Do you have anything to do today?" Hear you say what's at stake? ”

"Back to the emperor, Dongchang Tan heard some news, and the slave didn't dare to delay in the slightest, so she hurried into the palace to tell Your Majesty." Looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse respectfully, Wei Chao hurriedly replied.

At this time, the expression on Wei Chao's face was very complicated, and he seemed to be hesitating, and his lips opened and closed several times but did not say anything.

Slightly stunned, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't expect the Wei Dynasty to be so hesitant, it seems that the person involved in this incident is definitely not a small person. Laughing and waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a soft tone, "Say it!" It's not the first time that something big has happened, so there's no need to be like this. ”

"Back to the emperor, here's the thing, the secret agents of Dongchang heard some news in the capital. Some people say that Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the cabinet, supported troops in Liaodong and was very willing to repeat the disaster of the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty. Bowing down, Wei Chao pressed his head very low, and he didn't dare to look at the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

was stunned for a moment, then the Emperor of the Apocalypse laughed and said, "Where did you hear such rumors?" Who are the people who came out? ”

"Back to the emperor, the rumors spread quickly, and when the slave went to check, she had no clue. Although some people were arrested, they were stopped after checking and checking, and no one was found who spread rumors. Some people also said that even if Lord Sun is loyal to the court, if a yellow robe comes to add to him, it will be too late to regret it! Wei Chao's voice became smaller and smaller, because the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse became more and more ugly, and his hands were constantly trembling.

"Your Majesty, dissipate your anger! Take care of your dragon's body! Wang Chengen hurriedly came to the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said with some words in his tone.

Waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse motioned for Wang Chengen to leave, staring at the Wei Dynasty tightly, and said in a serious voice: "You said that the news spread quickly?" To what extent has it been now? ”

"Back to the emperor, although the news came from the people, it is now very serious, and it has been spread in the yamen, as if it spread overnight." Wei Chao had worry on his face, this was obviously deliberately done by someone with a heart, and he could understand it at a glance.

"You haven't found any news in the East Factory? And let the news spread to the yamen? The Emperor of the Apocalypse stood up, looked at the Wei Dynasty, and asked loudly.

The Wei Dynasty below looked guilty and didn't say a word.

"Rubbish!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily. (To be continued.)
