Chapter 168 - To each his own mind

The hall was quiet again, and the ministers all lowered their heads and looked at the ground seriously, as if there was gold waiting for them to pick it up. Jiang Ruizhen was amused in his heart, the Moyun Dynasty was really more exciting than that drama.

Bai Ziyu glanced at Yu Shangshu and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then you can only work hard for Yu Shangshu." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are busy with official business, and I'm afraid they won't be able to get out. Recently, the treasury has been empty, but there are many places to use money, and it takes a lot of effort to raise money every day, and ordinary people cannot do this work. Yu Shangshu excused himself, he couldn't go even if he was killed.

Bai Ziyu clapped his hands and said, "This matter is really easy to solve, and this is the second thing I want to say." The emperor invited more than 20 adults outside the palace to meet him. ”

Qianzong was in a good mood when he saw Yu Shangshu Tieqing's face, and he didn't have anything to say to Bai Ziyu, so he immediately agreed.

Bai Ziyu said with a smile: "Jiang Dajun will not only escort me back this time, but also escort the gold, silver, jewelry and property in the Yuxue treasury. Yuxue's treasury is very full, and when the minister arrives there, he finds more than 20 ministers of Yuxue, and it takes a month to count everything clearly and list it into an account book, and ask the emperor to look at it. ”

Bai Ziyu took out an account book from his arms and presented it to Qianzong, who was very happy to turn it over and applauded repeatedly.

Bai Ziyu continued: "The officials in this list of accounts are all from the former Yuxue Household Department, and they are very down-to-earth and organized, and they can be described as outstanding, and the ghost king also admires them very much, and specially asked the ministers to bring them back to ask the emperor to entrust them with important tasks." They are all from the household department in Yuxue, and they are familiar with the affairs of the household department, and they can just be placed in the household department to assist Shangshu. Especially when Yu Shangshu is going to the border, he will definitely let Yu Shangshu go without worries. ”

Yu Shangshu was anxious all of a sudden, the household department has always been his territory, Bai Ziyu is going to insert people into his household, and one is not one or two, one is more than twenty, these people are not just promoted novices to deal with, they are all old fritters who have rolled in the officialdom, once they come in, it will be difficult to invite them out.

Yu Shangshu said busily: "Since it is a talent, how can it only be placed in the household department, and the household department is not short of people now." ”

Bai Ziyu said with a smile: "Yu Shangshu's words are wrong, do you know how many things Yuxue has transported, to be honest, the existing warehouse may not be able to fit, and the next place that lacks manpower is the household department." In addition, Yuxue has already fallen into the ink cloud, and it is not suitable for the officials of Yuxue to not use it, and the people of Yuxue will definitely have ideas, and now they are going to the household department. ”

As he was talking, more than 20 people walked up, although they were not wearing official clothes, but they were all full of energy, their eyes were bright, and their ages ranged from 20 to 40 years old, but at least from the appearance of them, all of them were talents, and the hearts of all the ministers in the palace sank, and they all had a sense of crisis.

A thing that they have all thought about but don't want to think about is really happening in front of them, how to deal with Yuxue's subordinates? It is impossible for the emperor not to use any of them, but now there is no vacancy in the court, these new ministers were sent by the ghost king, so needless to say, they must all be on the side of the ghost king, and they cannot be co-opted. Therefore, the arrival of these people must mean that someone will step down, and from the perspective of Xiangye's statement, the spearhead is aimed at Yu Shangshu.

After these people visited Qianzong, Qianzong praised them well, and it was appropriate for these people to deal with them. Qianzong asked what they were good at, and these people all said in unison that it was the business of the household department. Yu Shangshu objected in every way, but Bai Ziyu was not easy to speak, and the other ministers were afraid of provoking the fire, so they stopped talking, and in the end, Yu Shangshu couldn't, so Qianzong put everyone in the household department.

Jiang Ruizhen saw that it was not too early, and asked Qianzong to resign: "Your Majesty, the minister is in a hurry to transfer troops now, and he will leave early tomorrow morning, can he retire first?" ”

Qianzong looked at Yu Shangshu: "Aiqing still has to persuade the ghost king, if you want to, you can go with General Jiang." ”

"The minister is unwell, not suitable for traveling far, I'm afraid I have a weak heart." Yu Shangshu said regretfully, but he scolded wildly in his heart, he was unlucky today, with this Bai Ziyu here, he would not have a good life.

Qianzong no longer insisted on it, and said to Jiang Ruizhen: "Then General Jiang will go and do something, and on the day of the general's triumph, I will have a heavy reward." ”

Jiang Ruizhen retreated, and before leaving, he glanced at the envoys of several countries, and in this eye, there was a ruthless and murderous aura, which was very scary, especially the eldest prince, and the cold sweat came down.

Qianzong's waist is now very straight, and he looked at the envoys of several countries and said, "A few envoys are leaving, and the prime minister will send them on my behalf." ”

The envoys of several countries knew that this was an order to expel the guests, and they didn't dare to turn around and leave, Bai Ziyu smiled, let alone send it, but he really didn't even move, and it seemed that the envoys of several countries were gray, as if they had been driven out, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Qianzong retired from the court, leaving Bai Ziyu to say things, Bai Ziyu told Qianzong in detail about this period of time, and asked people to bring the child to Qianzong to see, Qianzong swept away the boredom of the past, leaving Bai Ziyu to eat, Weng and son-in-law rarely talked together about wine, very happy.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the city gate was opened, more than 100 large carriages lined up with stuff to come in, escorted by the ghost king army in black clothes and silver guns on the side, and directly pulled the carts into the household warehouse. On that day, the street was crowded with people, lively, the people flocked to the street to watch this wonder, this is more than 100 very large cars, each car is pulled by four horses, that is still slow, the car can leave deep traces on the stone road, it can be seen that the weight of the things on the car, many people in their hearts calculated, this weight, can only be gold and silver, more than 100 cars, how much is this.

After Bai Ziyu came back, Qianzong also had a bottom in his heart, sitting on the dragon chair very happy, and then someone proposed a combination, he asked people to go directly to the ghost king and say, he was "afraid of women", but none of these ministers dared to move, afraid of the ghost king on the one hand, on the other hand, they understood that although the officials of Yuxue came to the household department, they would fill the vacancy at any time once it became vacant, even if you could come back intact from the ghost king, but at that time, there was not necessarily a place for you in the court, so the ministers gradually stopped mentioning it.

Qianzong was happy to see the abundant treasury, and of course, there was another thing that made him only steal pleasure. When Bai Ziyu was drinking with him, he took out no less than five million taels of silver tickets from his arms, saying that this was Yun Yuhong's filial piety to him, and the things in the private treasury of the original Yuxue monarch were also listed in a book, and when Yun Yuhong came back, he would personally hand them over to him. Qianzong refused, but Bai Ziyu said that this is his daughter's filial piety, and he is the king of a country, not to mention that he is rich in the world, but he must not be cold. So Yun Yuhong kept all the good things for him in private. Qianzong's eyes were red with emotion, and he praised Yun Yuhong with Bai Ziyu.

Qianzong was happy, and the kings of the other three countries did not have a good time. In fact, they are not really ready to go to war, now their troops are short of food and grass, the pirates near the Ruifeng Sea have been very rampant recently, Zeyu has had another flood this year, and Chiyan is a little better, but Chiyan is also the weakest soldier, so, for them, now is really not a good time to fight, but the ghost king is pregnant and can't go to the battlefield, Yuxue Moyun's troop integration has just been completed, and the combat power is also greatly reduced, plus Moyun has always been poor, and they also have to recuperate after a battle with Yuxue, It is certainly unwilling or simply unable to fight again. If the alliance of the three countries can scare Mo Yun, it is always good to get some benefits. Of course, the monarchs of several countries also want to try to fight a few battles, and it will naturally be better if they can capture Moyun.

It's just that their calculations are still not shrewd enough, and they miscalculated the temperament of the ghost king. The Ghost King is a warlike person, not a person who will compromise easily, and her response to several countries is direct to only one word: fight. The border war of the Three Kingdoms broke out again, although both sides were prepared, each had its own victory or defeat, and no one took advantage of anyone, but this time it was the ghost king who opened the prelude to the war first, and one against three did not flinch and fear, which made the hearts of the monarchs of the three countries lose confidence.

It didn't take long for the envoys of the three kingdoms to return to their respective countries, and after reporting the matter to the king, more people began to ponder in their hearts, the ghost king said this with full confidence, she really had that much confidence?

The king of Chiyan was silent for a long time after hearing the words of the envoy, and the ghost king said, if he did not accept the battle, he also said that he could take Chiyan in two months, and the Chiyan border would face the attack of the 400,000 army led by the ghost king in a few days, but there were only 200,000 horses on their border now, and the generals were afraid that they would not be able to reach the level of the elite from a military family like Jiang Ruizhen, not to mention that there was an unpredictable ghost king, how could this ghost king choose Chiyan alone among the three kingdoms, and it was really not cost-effective to think about it now.

This time, it was the other two countries who took the initiative to ask him to participate, and told him that Moyun was unable to fight again, and their grasp was very great, but it was he who really faced the 400,000 army of the Ghost King, and if he wanted to perish, he was the first to be Chiyan, and he didn't eat a bite of mutton, so why should he make a fuss.

The Monarch of the Chiyan Kingdom asked the Great Prince, "You have fought against both the Ghost King and the Ghost King Army, what do you think of their strength?" ”

The eldest prince said: "Very powerful, the ghost king is worthy of being the number one master in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the ghost king soldiers are one hundred." I heard that even Jiang Ruizhen was captured by the Ghost King, and in the Ghost King's army, a few teenage children can lead troops to defeat 100,000 Cao family troops, and we are far behind in terms of combat effectiveness. "Of course he has to talk about the Ghost King and the Ghost King Army a little bit, otherwise, people may look down on him in their hearts, if he says that the Ghost King Army is average, people will say that you have been arrested twice, how bad you are." But if the Ghost King Army is very powerful, it is much more normal to be arrested as well.

The Emperor of Chiyan asked the eldest prince to go down to rest, and called another one to come over, and asked, "What the eldest prince just said is true?" ”

Nei Zhi nodded, "General Jiang was arrested and there are a few children in the Ghost King's army who are very heroic on the battlefield, and they are all rumored outside, it should be true." ”

Chiyan Guojun sighed, he had to think about what to do next, whether he Chiyan still wanted to fight this battle, if he could let Ruifeng or Zeyu deal with the ghost king and the ghost king's army, he Chiyan would never be this bird.
