Things are not going well, and this is the best summary she has made of what has happened in recent times.

According to the roster she got in her hands, there are a total of eighty-three core figures in the south, of which thirty-seven are royal relatives, and almost half of them are old and stubborn - old and very stubborn.

And the other forty-six people are some old ministers of the Great Xiao, ladies in the palace, and so on.

Speaking of the ladies in the palace, Xiao Tian was worried about whether the concubines of the first emperor would see through her details after they arrived in Nanhua City. But as it turned out, the situation was more rosy than she had imagined.

First, the emperor admitted that there were not many palace concubines of higher grade and still alive. Even if the Northern Barbarians did not enter the Yongxiao Palace, there were less than ten favored palace concubines who often circled around the emperor back then. Second, after the catastrophe of the Northern Barbarian invasion, most of the women in the palace suffered. It was the dead of the dead, the wounded of the wounded, the escape, and some of the resources that were divided up as gold, silver, jewelry, etc. Therefore, although after a long period of negotiations, Nan Xiao asked Beiban to release the hostages of Nangui and wrote a long roster, but in the end, there were really few women in the palace who were willing to follow the envoys to return to the south.

For example, the mother concubines of the little emperor Xiao Tian and the little princess Xiao Yan disappeared.

For another example, Fu Mingyi's own sister Concubine Ming is said to be preparing to marry and be crowned by Murdan, the third prince of the Northern Barbarians, known as the Fierce Lion Fierce King, and she is about to become the fierce princess of others.

I don't know what Master Taifu thinks.

Far from it.

Xiao Tian closed the roster while holding his forehead, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Where did Taifu die? has come back with such a wave of people, no matter how she looks at it and how she feels, she is not a good person to serve.

No wonder it is said that it is necessary to prepare early, among these people, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and those clan relatives simply regard the rules of their ancestors more than their own eyeballs.

Tell them, my dear, you see how much they have suffered in leading their troops into battle, and they hang their heads on their belts all day long, and they will really have belts at this time. Look at it, the ashes of this remains are very commemorative, they were sacrificed for my Da Xiao, so we have made this kind of thing a little more grand than before, and the style is a little higher...... Dot...... It should be fine, right?

It's basically not looking for death or looking for different voices.

Especially after Xiao Tian met several soul figures who were said to be highly respected in the clan circle when he was in the last dynasty, this bad premonition came true in an instant.

She didn't suspect it, she was clear, and she clearly saw that several old men who had survived the catastrophe still had a posture of relying on the old and selling the old, in front of so many people in the court, someone actually wanted to teach her to do things when they found an opportunity? !

Oh, my God!

If it weren't for the fact that Taifu didn't come back, and arranged such a big job for her, did she need to sit there and listen to their chatter and care, and a bunch of nonsense?

Time slowly replayed in her mind, back to that day, at the time when Xiao Qian motioned to Wang Xiang to propose a plan to sacrifice the martial soul.

Wang Xiang has always dealt with the "super-standard" plan that she and Yu Zaiting are working on. This Xiao Qian can see it. But at this time, since he was going to discuss this plan in the court, he naturally had to open this mouth first.

Yu Zaiting had previously analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of doing this, as well as the most difficult objections that he might encounter. At this time, she had some bottom in her heart.

But it's useless to have a bottom.

These clan relatives said a lot of things, but in Xiao's listening, there was only one sentence: act according to the system.

The Great Depression is dead.

Now this, at most, can become Nanxiao. Where did they get so much "system"?

What's even more troublesome is that at that time in the court, the civil ministers echoed, and the military ministers were angry, and in the end, they naturally broke up unhappily.

After that, Xiao Tian sincerely consulted Wang Xiang and wanted to hear his thoughts.

Wang Xiang didn't hide his selfishness this time, but only said two things to Xiao Tian.

The first point is that if they go beyond the system, the clan ministers are at a loss, and even worse, they hurt the vested interests of some people.

The second point is that the treasury does not have enough money to support it.

Sacrificing martial spirits is not just a ritual.

In order to make this event more grand, all kinds of preparations for the ceremony must be complete, not to mention, it also involves the honorary rewards of these sacrificed generals, the bereavement of family members, and so on.

It's all going to cost money, and it's not just a matter of saying it.

The entire Yongxiao Palace was occupied by the Northern Barbarians, and a large amount of resources north of Xiaoshui also fell into their hands. At present, the maintenance of the imperial palace in Nanhua City, the operation of the imperial court, etc., mainly rely on the accumulated financial revenue of Dingzhou and the surrounding state capitals.

According to Wang Xiang, it is really a piece of silver as two pieces of flowers, so everything should be simple.

What's more, these people who have returned to the south still have to be arranged, right? Clansmen and other things need to be honored, this is a lot of silver, right?

Let's go, let's go.

Xiao listened to the end and didn't want to say anything.

"Since the prime minister has thought so thoroughly, why didn't he say it at the beginning?"

Wang Xiang squinted his eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty is benevolent, how can the minister talk about these uninteresting things from the beginning." Moreover, the minister is also hopeful, thinking that if it can be done, maybe there are other ways. ”

"Then why did the prime minister say it again now?"

Wang Xiang sighed.

"Lord Yu has probably agreed with His Majesty that if this matter is to be implemented, there will be all kinds of resistance. Clan relatives are among them. Now that His Majesty has seen the attitude of the clan relatives, even if the minister doesn't say anything, in fact, His Majesty can figure it out? ”

"Is that all there is to it?" Xiao Tian was unwilling. She also doesn't have the habit of being intimidated by difficulties halfway through doing things and giving up halfway.

Wang Xiang thought about it again and again, and said: "Your Majesty, or let Lord Yu imagine a way, if you can use less money from the treasury, or there is another way to open up, I'm afraid the clan relatives will not be so opposed." ”

That's it.

So, Xiao Qian summoned Yu Zaiting again.

Yu Zaiting had different ideas and disagreements with his teacher, and now that he was getting closer to His Majesty, he had less time to communicate with Wang Xiang.

And he felt more and more that in his weekday work, the efficiency of the office seemed to have decreased, and some work was arranged, like a stone thrown into the sea, and the shadow was gone.

He hadn't told Xiao Tian about the situation, but he knew very well in his heart that his master did not agree with his plan and approach, which was pointing at him.

However, he didn't want to give in so early.

Therefore, when Xiao leaned Wang Xiang's words to him, he said, "Your Majesty, the minister has to go back and think about it." ”

Xiao Tian had no choice but to nod and said, "Lord Yu, as the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. If the state of the treasury is really that bad, then I would rather do something real for the generals. ”
