The few people sitting at the bottom glanced at each other, but they didn't squeak, which made Nanrong Yuwei's face even colder.

"Zhilan, go and tell the imperial kitchen to prepare some supper." Nanrong Yuwei looked at several ministers with straight eyes, and commanded Song Zhilan on the side in a cold voice.

"There are still a few hours before the early dynasty, and I hope you can discuss a result before then." After speaking, Nanrong Yuwei lowered her head again and began to review the recitals, and no longer bothered with a few people with ghosts.

However, as soon as they heard that they were going to have supper, several people suddenly couldn't sit still!

This unpalatable tea and unpalatable snacks are obviously already a warning from the Holy Queen to a few people, and now these "bitter things", they can still choose not to eat or drink, but if they are served at night, it is really impossible to eat them all......

Although the courtiers don't want to be the son of heaven after sitting for a long time, there will always be times when they want to compete. Especially now it is not the Son of Heaven who is facing it, but the queen.

These few officials have been officials in the DPRK for many years, and they have also made a lot of contributions at the most critical juncture of the New Year, although they are not proud of their achievements, but they all feel that they are indispensable.

That's why they dare to keep talking about it today. What if the charter can't be discussed? Could it be that His Majesty and the Holy Queen would have deposed themselves because of this?

With such a mood, several people naturally only cared about their own interests, and refused to back down even a cent. Until this cup of bitter tea is served......

It was obviously not an accident that this refreshment was so hard to swallow, so who would have ordered it? The answer is also self-explanatory. At this time, a few people finally came to their senses, no matter how great their merits are, they are still a courtier after all, and the second sage will not embarrass himself on his face, but it does not mean that he cannot punish himself......

After thinking about this, and hearing Nanrong Yuwei say that she was going to have supper, several people's hearts and minds were completely broken.

Xue Tingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, struggled for a long time, and finally stood up, "After returning to the saint, Wei Chen just recalculated the expenses of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and found that the budget for the sacrifice of livestock in one of them may be a little inflated, and it can be lowered even more. ”

When Nanrong Yuwei heard Xue Tingyu's words, she couldn't help but put down the pen and ink in her hand, "Oh? Xue Qing said, how much can you suppress? ”

"According to Weichen's opinion, it should be possible to lower the five ......" Xue Tingyu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Nanrong Yuwei, seeing that the other party's expression was cold, he panicked, and hurriedly changed his words, "One hundred and fifty thousand taels!" ”

"150,000 taels ......" Nanrong Yuwei pondered for a moment and nodded, "In previous years, the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony cost 300,000 taels, and this year you said that the disaster year needs to be done and added an extra 100,000 taels, but now it can be cut lower than in previous years?" ”

Nanrong Yuwei's question made Xue Tingyu embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, whether to admit that he was too extravagant in previous years, or to admit that he intended to raise the budget this year......

"It's really rare!" Without waiting for Xue Tingyu to react, Nanrong Yuwei suddenly praised him, which immediately flattered Xue Tingyu and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him.

"Weichen has the grace of the emperor, and he doesn't dare to receive the praise of the holy queen!"

Nanrong Yuwei showed a faint smile on her face and nodded, "Okay, Xue Qing, get up quickly." ”

Xue Tingyu was praised here, but the remaining few people over there scolded him in their hearts.

When everyone else was still hesitating, he stood up and behaved first, didn't he tease all of them?!
