Chapter 44: Three Big Troubles
"Childe ......"
Hua Mulan looked at Lu Feng, and when she was about to speak, Lu Feng waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mulan, although I have killed a lot of people, but I am not killing people indiscriminately, as long as they don't do something bad for the kingdom, I won't kill anyone!"
Hua Mulan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, he was worried that it was Lu Feng who killed the old minister and made the world chew the root of his tongue.
Lu Feng did not hesitate and quickly went to the imperial study.
Here, the three Shangshu have been waiting respectfully.
"Wechen greets Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" shouted in unison as the four knelt on the ground.
"Flat!"
Lu Feng sat on the main seat, looked at the Shangshu Wayne of the Criminal Department, and asked with a smile: "Lord Wei, what did you gain from raiding the house this time?"
"Back to Your Majesty, a total of 731 households have been raided this time, and more than one billion silver and gold worth of silver and gold have been seized, antique cultural relics, panacearies, and countless magic weapons, and the preliminary estimate has exceeded that of the national treasury!" Wayne said respectfully.
"Yes, that's great!"
Lu Feng smiled and said, "My Nanyan Kingdom only has a tax revenue of 100 million silver a year, and after deducting all expenses, it is already very good to be able to have 5 million silver into the treasury. But these ministers under my hands, the sum of things is equivalent to two hundred years of income from the national treasury, it seems that all the ministers under my hands are good at collecting money!"
"No wonder there were floods in Linshan County, Shanling County, and Yunshan County, and millions of victims were miserable! It turned out that these were all done by the ministers of the kingdom, and the three ......"
Lu Feng stared at Wayne's three books, and said lightly: "You say, should I give them a plaque to commend their means of collecting money, which is the best in the world?"
The four of Wayne suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on their faces, although they were old ministers, although they were loyal to the kingdom, they also accepted some gifts from the people below in private.
If you raid their homes, you won't have ten million taels of silver, but five million will definitely have.
If the emperor used the topic to play, they would be finished.
However, it was obvious that they were thinking too much, and Lu Feng would not make a move on them.
He looked at the three Shangshu and said, "You don't dare to say it, I won't force you, Ren Yan, the secretary of the Shangshu." ”
"The minister is here!"
Ren Yan immediately took a step forward.
"You go down and warn me those courtiers who are still there, clean your hands and feet, I won't trouble them with how much black money you have collected before, but you will hand over half of it to the treasury for me, and you will not be allowed to accept it in the future, once the violators are found out by the Jinyi guard, there will be no mercy!" Lu Feng said coldly.
"Yes, Weichen takes the order!" Ren Yan trembled in his heart, His Majesty will not really want to use the topic to play!
He gave Hu Yin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, a look, and Hu Yin immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the corruption of the ministers of the kingdom is really hateful, but now we have more things to deal with!"
"What?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten King Megatron?" Hu Yin looked at Lu Feng cautiously.
Lu Feng frowned slightly, and said, "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, King Megatron is the generalissimo of the kingdom's soldiers and horses, with millions of elite soldiers, he has long said that the kingdom can only have one generalissimo, there can be no general, and the previous general was killed by him, and now Your Majesty, you canonize General Gao Shun as a general, don't you not give King Megatron face? If he ......?"
"That's it!"
Lu Feng waved his hand to interrupt Hu Yin's words, and said coldly: "The Nanyan Kingdom is a real kingdom, not the kingdom of his Mighty King, if I am afraid of being the emperor, then what kind of system will it be?"
"But, Your Majesty, if King Megatron rebels, what should we do? The total number of elite soldiers under our command is about 300,000, and this still has to add the Jinyi Guards under Prime Minister Jia Cheng, and among these 300,000 people, only 200,000 forbidden troops can fight, how can we, how can we block King Megatron's hundreds of elite soldiers?" Hu Yin smiled bitterly.
Lu Feng groaned slightly, and said, "Uncle Huang, he doesn't dare!"
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Several Shangshu all looked at Lu Feng with some confusion.
"Uncle Huang is the only orthodox bloodline in the royal family besides me, he wants the throne, he will kill me, and then the throne will naturally be his! Rebellion? If he really had this idea, he would have raised troops a long time ago! With the millions of elite soldiers under his command, do you think he couldn't enter the royal capital before?" Lu Feng asked rhetorically.
"This ......"
"Okay, that's all for this, you guys go down and do something!"
Although Wayne and the others were skeptical of Lu Feng's words, they didn't dare to say more, so they answered, turned around and were about to leave.
Lu Feng looked at them and said lightly: "Three ministers, now that the kingdom is in ruins, I will use all available people, you will definitely stand on my side, right?"
Several Shangshu's bodies trembled, and they glanced at each other, and they all saw a wry smile in each other's eyes, obviously, His Majesty was warning them not to make small moves, and not to make trouble for the new Prime Minister Jia Xu.
At this moment, they didn't dare to have that little Jiujiu in their hearts, so they all bowed and said, "Wait, obey the order!"
"Alright, stand down!"
"Yes!"
Several Shangshu left in unison.
Lu Feng sat on the seat, groaned slightly, and said loudly to the eunuch standing outside the imperial study: "Pass on Jia Xu and Gao Shun." ”
"Your Majesty, the slave is going to inform the two adults!"
After a while, Jia Xu and Gao Shun arrived.
When the two saw Lu Feng, they immediately knelt on the ground, but at this time, Lu Feng laughed and said, "Okay, you two, don't be so polite, sit!"
Lu Feng pointed to the wooden stool that had already been prepared in the imperial study and said.
Lu Feng said this, Jia Xu and Gao Shun didn't dare not listen, and sat in their seats.
Jia Xu looked at Lu Feng and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, are you looking for us to arrange anything?"
"Wenhe, you are called a poison scholar, come, tell me, what am I thinking now!" Lu Feng said with a smile.
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, groaned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, are you thinking about the next plan of the kingdom?"
"It's worthy of being a poison scholar and a writer, you can guess my mind at a glance. Lu Feng gave a thumbs up.
Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also lucky!"
He knew that the emperor would have some scruples about being able to guess his thoughts, and he was worried that Lu Feng would do the same.
But he obviously thought too much, Lu Feng said: "Don't be modest, let's talk about things!"
Groaning slightly, Lu Feng said: "Now the empire has three troubles, the first trouble is the instability of the government, I have killed so many ministers before, and the court must be allowed to run again; the second trouble is Yunkong Mountain, don't look at the ten elders of Yunkong Mountain who have lost everything, but where is their heritage, and I don't know when they will find a way to get us, this trouble must be solved; the third trouble is my imperial uncle Megatron King Lu Wei, he sent a killer to assassinate me, my life, he can create what he wants!"
After speaking, Lu Feng looked at Jia Xu and Gao Shun, and said with a smile: "You two talk about these three troubles, how should I solve them?"
