Chapter 38: Loyal Ministers
"Woo......"
Wang opened his eyes in a daze, and there was a slight tingling sensation when his clothes touched his skin, and it seemed that there was still a residual medicinal effect of "Abyss Swimming" in his body.
"King! You're awake! ”
It was Quitton who was talking.
Wang also fell into the "Abyss Swim", although the red makeup also detoxified him, but he also needed to be in a coma for a whole day, so Quiton woke up earlier.
The king sat up, and he looked around, which was inside a fine tavern.
"Where is this?" Wang asked.
"This is a tavern in Canglan City, I remember that I was poisoned by a woman before, and when I woke up and found myself in a small cave in the ruins of the poor, and you were unconscious next to me, I quickly took you out." Quitton said.
"That's right...... What about the woman? ”
"Woman? Did you say that little girl? ”
"It's not the little girl, it's the woman who poisoned you."
"The woman who poisoned me? I don't know, but there were just the two of us and a little girl in the cave at the time, could it be that the woman was there? Quitton said.
It seems that the red makeup left after poisoning the king.
The king thought about it, and since he was still alive, it meant that this woman did not want her life.
"Quiton, do you still have your belongings?" Wang asked.
"Yes." Quitton pulled out his purse and shook it.
The king couldn't understand that this woman neither killed nor robbed money, so why did she sprinkle medicine on herself?
……
The imperial city is vast.
"Your Majesty, there has been a rare insect plague in Canglan City in the north, it is said that it ...... The location of the outbreak is still the residence of General Hu Weiye's brothers. Above the Golden Dragon Hall, a minister said.
"Insect plague? No wonder General Hu asked for an order to return to his hometown for a period of time, it turned out that such a thing happened. Ye Futian said.
"Your Majesty, now the foolish people of Canglan City think that Hu Mansion has done something bad to offend the sky and suffered retribution, the Diao people of Canglan City have always been rebellious, maybe these Diao people are now discussing a gang to deal with Hu Fu, General Hu is a loyal minister of our court, Hu Mansion is the dignity of our court, and must not be lifted by these Diao people, the minister thinks that His Majesty should send soldiers to Canglan Town to suppress the rebellious heart of these Diao people and help the Hu family." The minister arched his hand.
"Okay, send me 50,000 horses."
Ye Futian didn't want to think about it, he just listened to the opinions of the ministers, he was not a person who could administer things, he was a warrior, he only sat in this position by killing his father, he always felt that his position was very unstable, he was very anxious, he had to do everything possible to stabilize his rule.
"Your Majesty, there has also been a drought in the south, and three towns have sent requests for relief to the imperial court." Another minister played.
"What's wrong with the South?" Things in the north are troublesome enough, everything has not gone well since Ye Futian ascended the throne, as if God is saying that he is not suitable to be this emperor.
"Your Majesty, we should distribute relief supplies, reduce taxes to promote recovery, and send ......" the minister kept asking.
"Help! Of course you have to help. ”
The minister's request was obviously too much, but Ye Futian didn't have the slightest intention of objecting.
"Your Majesty, listen to me!"
The minister surnamed Sun, who has been obscure, finally can't stand it anymore.
"Your Majesty! If you send aid without restraint, the treasury will not be able to meet the demand at all, and it is taboo for the treasury to be empty, so ...... go on like this."
"I have something to say." The old minister, Lu Ren, suddenly interrupted Minister Sun.
"Oh? What happened to Prime Minister Lu? Ye Shutian asked.
"For the king's way, angering people's hearts is a taboo, Your Majesty will use the money in the treasury to appease the people, relief disasters, this is the way of the saint, but also the way of the people's hearts, how to say a taboo, as long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, the vacancy in the treasury can be filled sooner or later, and what taboo to say, it's really a joke." Prime Minister Lu said.
"The minister thinks that what Prime Minister Lu said is reasonable."
"The minister also thinks ......"
Many ministers are echoing Lu Ren's words.
"But ......"
"Bold!"
The minister surnamed Sun still wanted to speak, but Lu Ren's voice interrupted him.
Lu Ren stared at the minister surnamed Sun, and his eyes were very vicious, which made the minister surnamed Sun a little overwhelmed.
"Lord Lu's ......"
"Are you accusing Your Majesty? Your Majesty's decision, is it your turn to interject? Have you forgotten that you were promoted by Your Majesty to sit in this position? Lu Ren said solemnly.
"Positive...... Because I was promoted by His Majesty, I must tell His Majesty ......"
"Shut your mouth yet!" Prime Minister Lu said.
The words of the minister surnamed Sun were forced to swallow back.
Even Ye Futian was a little surprised, this is probably the first time in hundreds of years that someone in the Northern Kingdom Dynasty has roared at this Golden Dragon Hall.
According to the number of etiquette, except for the emperor, no one is allowed to yell like this on the Golden Dragon Palace, which is a great crime of disrespect, but Ye Futian is not a person who is harsh on etiquette, and no one will say it even if the other ministers know this regulation, after all, this yelling is Prime Minister Lu Renlu, and the emperor himself doesn't mind, what else do they have to say?
"Duke Lu is an important minister of the country, I trust him, and the relief will be sent by Duke Lu at his discretion." Ye Weitian said.
"Minister, obey the order." Lu Ren arched his hand.
"Okay, if it's okay, then retreat." Ye Shutian doesn't like the court, and now he is even a little tired of the court, every time he goes to the court, it is a bunch of bad news, what he likes is the kind of status that looks down on all beings, not this huge responsibility.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
……
When the treasury is empty, where will the military pay come from? Didn't he rely on his huge military power to sit in this position? To deal with a person, you must start with his advantages, although the advantages are strong, but also the most lax, after all, for the king, a little carelessness is a catastrophe.
There are many ministers in the court who were promoted by Ye Futian at the beginning, and the treasury will be empty and the armaments will be weakened, and they must be able to see this obvious, but they have stood up to support Prime Minister Lu.
In fact, these ministers who were forcibly promoted did not have any real material, they cowered in the court, and they only listened to it above the court, for fear that if they said the wrong word, they would lose all their hard-won status.
Ye Covering's promotion is just to be used at that time, Ye Coverings treats them as tools that can be abandoned at any time, and now that Ye Covertian is the king, they have no value, so they have no sense of security, Ye Coverings did not give them a sense of security, which means that their position is not solid, as long as they lobby a little and give some promises, they will not hesitate to change their position.
Just like Lu Ren did.
Now there are not many loyal ministers who belong to Ye Covering Heaven above the Golden Dragon Palace, and now Lu Ren is going to prepare to make a move against the military department, as long as he takes off his minions of Ye Covering Heaven, then this tiger who occupies the mountain will become a wild dog that everyone can bully.
