Chapter 302: The Lion Opens His Mouth

As soon as Bei Ying Lei said that there was no military salary, the ministers understood what he meant, and the head of the household department in charge of money and food was the first to stand up and ask Bei Ying Lei.

"Yan Country has been smooth in the past few years, and the treasury is full, so why is there no food available!"

Bei Minglei waved his hand helplessly and said: "I can't help it, the Praetorian Guards were in trouble before, but after all, they are the people of Yan Kingdom, although all of them were killed, they also have to subsidize their families, and the treasury is naturally dwarfed!"

"What's more, the newly formed army also needs food!"

When the ministers heard Bei Minglei's words, they gritted their teeth angrily, three thousand Praetorian Guards died at his hands, but in a blink of an eye, Bei Minglei used the money and food from the treasury to comfort the families of the Praetorian Guards, which not only established the ministers, but also bought people's hearts, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Until now, the families of those Praetorian Guards still thought that their family had died in civil strife, and Bei Ying Lei was a great sage, but they threw themselves into his pen and joined the new army.

It's not that there are no ministers who want to break the mask of the Northern Thunder and announce that the Praetorian Guards in the world died at his hands, but it is really unbelievable that one person slaughtered 3,000 people, and no one believes it.

Now, even if the ministers want to investigate the crime of wasting the treasury of the Northern Thunder, they have nothing to say.

"Master Guoshi, the rebels are about to arrive in Yecheng, and if you don't send out the army, the people of Yecheng will face war!" What the minister said was high-sounding, but in fact he didn't want the rebels to affect himself when they attacked the city.

In fact, the reason why the rebels were able to go so smoothly and kill all the way to Yecheng was also because of the minister's tipping report.

But these traitors never expected that the Northern Thunder would be able to set up a new army so quickly! He didn't expect that he would blockade the whole city, so that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, and the minister could only watch the rebels arrive.

Once the rebels attack the city, the soldiers are in danger, and no one can guarantee safety, and those who report the news have a feeling of lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot!

The minister now just wants to transfer the Northern Thunder and the new army out of Yecheng as soon as possible, and when they and the rebels are in harmony with each other inside and outside, no matter how high the martial arts of the Northern Thunder are, it is impossible to resist thousands of troops.

"Food is scarce and unable to go on the expedition, this seat has decided to stick to Yecheng and resist foreign enemies with the strength of the city wall!" Bei Ying Lei deliberately said loudly, conveying his meaning to the ears of every minister.

"Think twice!" The ministers were frightened by the words of the Northern Thunder, once Yecheng fell into war, then their family would inevitably be implicated.

"Yecheng is the capital of Yan State, once the imperial court allows the rebels to attack, if it does not resist, it is bound to lose the hearts of the people, no matter how hard the walls of Yecheng are, they will not be able to resist the discouragement of the people!" In order to let Bei Ying Lei leave Yecheng, the minister can use all his life's wit.

"Alas!" Beiming Lei sighed and said helplessly: "I also understand that blindly defending is not the way, but now that the rebels are strong and our army is insufficient, if there is no heavy reward to stimulate the soldiers, our army will definitely be defeated!"

Minister, you look at me, I look at you, half speechless, and finally the minister in charge of the household department asked.

"I don't know how much food and salary the national teacher is missing, after all, everyone is Yanchen, and it is also necessary to fund some food!"

Yan Wei saw that Bei Minglei wanted to blackmail the ministers, and if the ministers didn't come up with some money, he Bei Minglei would not leave Yecheng.

Bei Minglei glanced at the guard with satisfaction, and secretly praised his intelligence, so it was a problem.

"As the so-called heavy reward must have a brave man, now the gap between the enemy and our forces is too big, if you want to defeat the enemy, you can only lure him to advantage, I think it will take at least one million taels!"

Yan Wei didn't expect that Bei Ying Lei had such a big appetite, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was one million taels, you must know that Yan Guo was a small school, and the annual financial income was only seven million taels, but Yan Wei still underestimated the appetite of Bei Ying Lei.

"I'm talking about gold!"

The addition of the Northern Thunder caused an uproar among the ministers.

"One million taels of gold, why don't you grab it!"

"With those 3,000 new troops, is it worth a million taels?"

"What a lion's mouth!"

The ministers were really frightened by the one million taels of gold, you must know that one tael of gold can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver, and as soon as the Northern Thunder opens its mouth, it is twenty million taels of silver, which is enough for the total financial sum of the four years of Yan Kingdom.

Bei Minglei watched coldly, took in the ugliness of the ministers, and said leisurely after half a salary.

"Yan Guojiang and Shansheji, isn't it worth a million taels of gold?"

A rhetorical question made everyone shut their mouths, and the ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to talk.

Bei Ying Lei sneered, turned his head and left, leaving a sentence: "Without a million taels of gold, our army will never fight!"

Some ministers were anxious to rush into the palace, but they were stopped by the guards, and they could only sigh at the huge palace.

Seeing that nothing had happened, the ministers dispersed and left the palace, but five of the ministers did not return home, but found a secret place and began to discuss.

"This Northern Thunder is simply arrogant, His Majesty is under house arrest, how can this be good!" Yan Wei angrily poured a sip of tea to calm down a little anger in his heart.

"Lord Han, is the treasury really empty, as Bei Ying Lei said?" Hong Guangbi, the squire of the military department, is the youngest of the five ministers, and he is also the one who is most attached to Yan Guo, and he doesn't want Yan Guo to end like this.

"Humph!" Yan Wei said angrily: "Since the Northern Thunder came to power, the treasury has been blocked, and even I, the head of the household, don't know the situation!"

Dali Temple Qing Tazha asked puzzledly: "Beiying Lei is a national teacher, what power does he have to be in charge of the household department?"

"Alas......" Yan Wei said helplessly: "Now that the Yecheng Praetorian Guard is completely destroyed, and the Northern Thunder is in charge of three thousand new troops, not to mention the household department, even His Majesty is not held hostage by him!"

After all, the ministers are now taking advantage of the powerful force of the Northern Thunder, letting him cover the sky with one hand, and only hope that the rebels can clean him up and let the Yan Kingdom get back on track.

Zongren Mansion Zheng Murong Yi hurriedly said: "Looking at the posture of the Northern Thunder, I'm afraid I want to stick to Yecheng, when the rebels arrive, under the confrontation between the two armies, I am afraid that you and my family will be in a catastrophe!"

Although the rebels were recruited by them, once Yecheng was breached, the rebel generals could not control their crazy subordinates, if the city was not broken, the Northern Thunder would continue to oppress the ministers, if the city was broken, Yecheng would fall into a catastrophe, and they would probably become fat sheep in the eyes of the rebels!

"Originally, our plan was to use the rebels to force the North Thunder to be annoying, but we didn't expect that the rebellion would be like a fire on fire, and the situation was out of control!"

The soldier is in charge of the military, and he knows the situation of Yan State best, and the total number of rebel troops gathered is about 150,000, less than 500 miles away from Yecheng, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to Yecheng.

"As long as the North Hellleiken goes out on the expedition and the rebels clean it up, I am confident that I will contact the rebel generals and quell the dispute!" The guard said confidently.

"As long as the North Thunder is killed, the rebels will disperse, but the trouble now is that the battlefield must not be in Yecheng, otherwise the soldiers will be in danger, and the rebel generals will not be able to suppress the soldiers! Once Yecheng is destroyed, you and I will be finished! ”

The words of the guard made the faces of the others gloomy.

"Do you really want to give the Northern Thunder a million taels of gold!?"
