It is said that the war in the north has just ended a while ago, and hundreds of thousands of royal troops have gone to the north, and the grain and grass have been transported, but only the emperor and several military ministers know what the battle report is on the front line. But the Minister of War was tight-lipped, and the emperor did not say a word about it, but it seemed that the entire Southern Dynasty was singing and dancing and was very safe.

But if you go to the small towns, you will find that the men have basically been requisitioned, and the whole town is only old and weak, women and children. The people who ploughed the fields became the eldest lady and her daughter-in-law, and everyone had to do harder and more tiring work than ever before in order to barely feed the whole family.

How can it be reassuring that there is such a war and such a seemingly unreliable king?

Recently, there have been strange rumors among the people that the people of the Northlands have trained a team of dead men. They have no blood on them, they can run or jump, they can fight normal people with guns, and only the flames can incinerate them.

At that time, when the southern capital was in Daxing, everyone could always smell the wind blowing in the distance, mixed with a lot of disturbing scorching smells. It was as if there was a prairie fire that burned the entire border. But after the emperor came back with his troops, he didn't say a word, didn't share anything with the ministers, and only let them do their duty to do what belonged to them.

The court meeting lasted for two hours, and just as it was about to end, Bai Min actually came.

"Your Majesty's ministers are here! It's not that you didn't come, at most you were late! Bai Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, carried the belt of his trousers and swayed to the main hall.

Han tilted his cheeks and looked at him: "What is that thing you are holding behind you?" ”

Bai Min was pulling a rope in his hand, and it was Bai Ningxing on this rope.

Bai Ningxing had already woken up, but his steps were vain and weak, and he was supported up by two eunuchs.

Bai Min said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is a tribute to you!" ”

"Huh?" Han glanced at Bai Ningxing and disgusted, "No, it's too ugly." ”

When the ministers heard this, they all covered their mouths and snickered, they had been officials in the court for so long, and they had never seen such a joking emperor. The emperor had already seen Bai Min's entire family, and of course he knew his nephew Bai Ningxing!

Speaking of which, Bai Ningxing is still a petty official in the household department, but he doesn't need to go to court.

Bai Min scratched his head, and his face was red with anxiety: "No, no, Your Majesty, it's not my unworthy nephew, but the rope in his hand." This rope is invulnerable, invulnerable. Lao Chen doesn't know what's wrong, there hasn't been any good jade recently, and those little cubs don't know where to go. In a word...... In a word...... This rope is a fairy thing! It is a treasure left behind by a fairy. ”

His words immediately caused a stir.

If the Ministry of Industry usually wants to repair the city and build tiles, it needs to be approved by the Ministry of Households. He and Tobe Shangshu have been old rivals for many years, and they used to quarrel in the court.

When Xinyang, the head of the household department, heard Bai Min's words, he immediately stood up and said without giving face at all: "You old fellow, it is your ministry's business to pay tribute to the emperor." What does it mean that there is no good jade, and you can't find the craftsmen under you? You have no way to restrain you, you can't manage your craftsmen, and you use this as an excuse to shirk the tribute. What are you guilty of? ”

Bai Min: "You old thing, I'm telling the truth!" I really can't find the royal craftsmen, I told you about this a month ago, and even His Majesty the Emperor already knows about it! ”

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
