Chapter 15: Be Judged, Your Majesty!
Lin Jundao slept until the afternoon of the next day, not because he was too tired these days, and he didn't really rest well when he came back from Huawu County.
"Ling'er, do you think these flowers are beautiful?" In the back garden of the palace, Lin Jundao walked leisurely on the path of the garden, and asked Ling Er, who was accompanying him, with a smile.
"Huh? It's pretty good, but it's not as prosperous as it is in spring. Ling Er only said that His Majesty came out for a walk, but suddenly asked such a question, although it is autumn now, there are also many flowers competing to bloom. Spring and autumn are the only flowers in the year.
"But I want to destroy them, you won't have a problem, right?" Lin Jundao still had a smile on his face.
"Ruined?" Ling Er was stunned again, why did this good person destroy these flowers? "This is Your Majesty's back garden, and naturally everything is in Your Majesty's hands."
Ling Er didn't raise her doubts.
"You will be the queen in the future, so this back garden is also yours, and I want to destroy it naturally to ask your opinion." The smile on Lin Jundao's face was even worse.
The two palace maids who followed behind him also held back a smile when they heard the voice, and then quietly retreated.
Ling Er's face was also as red as fire in an instant, this bad guy came to make fun of people again.
"However, I plan to plant some spiritual grass here, if I can grow it alive, it will be able to feed our entire country, and I won't need to work hard to refine the pill to support this country." Lin Jundao explained.
"Then Your Majesty will plant it!" When Ling Er heard this reason, she was also a little moved, during this period of time, she had seen many of His Majesty's methods. Now she has an inexplicable trust in His Majesty, as long as His Majesty does it, she feels that His Majesty can do it.
Lin Jundao smiled, and soon after, a group of Yunyan guards carried various tools into the back garden, and then began to clear one of the half-acre of grassland, and it was loosening the soil.
Although Lin Jundao planned to grow medicinal herbs, it was just an experiment at the beginning, and if he could succeed, he would turn the entire back garden into a medicinal garden.
"I hope what is recorded in the blood chapter of God in the "Taihuang Sutra" is correct." Lin Jundao dropped two drops of the blood of the Emperor of the Taihuang into the lotus pond in the back garden.
"Gooo......"
As soon as Lin Jundao dripped two drops of emperor blood into the lotus pond, blisters suddenly appeared in the lotus pond. Those lotus leaves that had withered were actually beginning to melt, but then Lin Jundao and Ling Er beside him saw that fresh lotus leaves had emerged from the water of the lotus pond!
The lotus leaf grew bigger and bigger, and in the shocked eyes of Lin Jundao and Ling Er, the lotus leaf grew three feet tall! At the same time, there are lotus buds growing out of the water, growing one or two feet higher than those lotus leaves, and then blooming directly!
Lin Jundao and Ling Er's eyes widened, it was already late autumn, and the lotus leaves had already withered, not to mention the lotus flowers. But after Lin Jundao dripped into those two drops of Emperor Taihuang's blood, lotus leaves and lotus flowers regrew from the lotus pond!
Lin Jundao didn't expect that this Taihuang Emperor's blood would contain such a powerful vitality, but looking at the blooming pond of lotus flowers in front of him, Lin Jundao knew that these two drops of Taihuang Emperor's blood were half wasted. Originally, he wanted to use this pool of water to water the newly created medicine garden, but now it is estimated that a lot of the power of the emperor's blood of this pool of water has been absorbed by these lotus leaves and lotus.
At dinner that night, Lin Jundao and Ling Er had a lotus root feast, and the supper was to drink lotus seed soup. The lotus lotus root that had absorbed the blood of Emperor Taihuang in that pool was also considered a great supplement, and the water in the lotus pond was still not wasted, and it was poured on the medicine garden that was sorted out.
As for the remaining lotus roots, Lin Jundao also distributed them to the homes of various ministers.
…………
Early the next morning.
Lin Jundao, accompanied by Ling Er, finally appeared in the Great Hall.
After the hundred officials saluted, they lined up on both sides.
"Ling'er, you go back first, and practice the "Three Swords of the Dragon Wandering" I taught you." Lin Jundao said softly to Ling Er.
Ling Er replied and retreated.
After watching Ling Er retreat, among the ministers below, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu took the lead.
"Your Majesty, many roads in our country need to be renovated, irrigation canals need to be dredged, the Vermilion Bird Bridge, Nantong Bridge, and Xinshui Bridge are in disrepair and need to be rebuilt, with a budget of 620,000 gold coins, and please ask Your Majesty for approval, so that it will be completed before the end of the year."
"Your Majesty," as soon as the Ministry of Industry Shangshu finished speaking, the Ministry of Household Shangshu also walked out of the train, "The midwinter is coming, the domestic meat is not enough for the people to survive the winter, and the cotton wool and down are not enough for the people to keep out the cold. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to allocate 780,000 gold coins to import meat, cotton wool and down from other countries to cope with this year's cold winter. ”
Lin Jundao calmly looked at the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but another person walked out of the train.
"Your Majesty, although it is now in the golden autumn, it is not far from the New Year's Pass, and at the end of the year, the sacrifices to the heavens and the earth, the ancestors, the palace layout, the palace maids, and the rewards of the guards need to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to allocate 390,000 gold coins to the Ministry of Rites to meet the needs. The Ministry of Rites bowed and said loudly.
If Lin Jundao still can't see the cattiness here, he will live his previous life in vain. So he just sat quietly on the throne, calmly looking at these ministers, also waiting, waiting for the next minister to stand up.
Just as Lin Jundao thought, as soon as the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, the Ministry of Officials also stood up.
"Your Majesty, as the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said, although it is a golden autumn, the end of the year is not far away. The hundreds of officials across the country are conscientious and conscientious in their duties, and they should also be rewarded, don't chill the hearts of the hundred officials, and the two months of money owed to the hundred officials should also be distributed, otherwise it will be difficult to expose the pot in the family of the hundred officials! I can't have a good year. His Majesty is requested to allocate 200,000 gold coins to solve this problem. ”
Lin Jundao was also a little embarrassed, the hundred officials' salaries were owed for two months, and the soldiers' salaries were also owed for a few months, which was enough.
Now these people are making trouble at this time, obviously giving themselves a dismount, after all, no one knows that the treasury is empty, and there are still tens of millions of gold coins owed over there, of course, this debt also includes the arrears of these hundreds of officials and soldiers.
However, Lin Jundao didn't care too much, and set his sights on his second uncle, who is now in charge of military power and also serves as the secretary of the military department.
King Qin didn't see Lin Jundao's gaze at him, and he also walked out of the train and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although half a month ago has been issued half a month's food and salary and in the army, but now that half a month has passed, the soldiers have begun to have a weak mood again. I beg Your Majesty to distribute the food and wages to the three armies. And recently, I heard that the southern bandits are rampant, and now it is the golden autumn, if these bandits are allowed to cause trouble to the business people, I am afraid that it will affect this year's winter! Therefore, please also ask Your Majesty to draw up a law to stop the rogues. ”
Money, money, money! Except for the last rogue, the rest of the ministers are all making a fuss about money. Lin Jundao also knew that it might be what he had done these days, and the policies he had implemented made the ministers look down.
Lin Jundao's gaze calmly swept over these big officials, and finally stopped on the body of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and said lightly: "Among the six departments, five have already come out to ask for money, why didn't the Criminal Department come out to ask for money?" Are the torture equipment of the Ministry of Punishment dilapidated or old and unusable, and does it need to be replaced with new ones? ”
When the criminal department Shangshu heard this, a trace of essence flashed in his eyes, and he was still a little depressed in his heart, he couldn't find an excuse to embarrass His Majesty, so when he was reminded by His Majesty, his brain also became active, and he thought of several reasons. It was also a step forward, and said: "Your Majesty's reminder reminded the minister that there are indeed some torture instruments in the criminal department that need to be replaced, and the torture room and prison may be renovated and cleaned. Otherwise, it is not good for criminals. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to allocate 50,000 gold coins for the renovation of the Criminal Department. ”
Seeing that the six ministers had finished speaking, Lin Jundao took a deep breath, and his expression became serious.
"Hmph, I see that you are still playing around, and you are still lazy all day long, and I see that you are still messing up the political situation by issuing government orders." The ministers below almost all had such a thought in their hearts at this time.
They want to see Lin Jundao's embarrassment, they want to see Lin Jundao's embarrassment, or they want to force Lin Jundao into a difficult situation. Then these ministers will stand up and offer advice to His Majesty to solve the problem at hand. In this way, they will be able to let His Majesty know the usefulness of their ministers.
So at this time, every minister's heart was excited and happy, they were not forcing His Majesty to abdicate or have any other evil intentions, they just wanted to wake up His Majesty and let him be diligent in his administration.
At this moment, when the ministers saw His Majesty take a deep breath and his face became serious, they were all extremely expectant.
"Be angry, my dear majesty, and be angry!" Every minister's heart is roaring with this sentence, because their preparation is more than that, they have a follow-up. There are also some ministers who have not spoken, waiting for His Majesty to become angry, and then they will come forward and begin to count His Majesty's absurd acts. After that, he admonished His Majesty and gave advice to His Majesty.
Those ministers were a little impatient, each of them looked at Lin Jundao's expression intently, and even some of the ministers' faces showed a slight expression of irrepressible excitement.
"Hehehe...... Lin Jundao laughed in a low voice, "Hehehe......"
"Hahahaha......"
But his laughter grew louder and louder.
He smiled! He laughed! He laughed angrily! ”
"Your Majesty is so angry that he is about to lose his temper!"
"Our goal has been achieved! Accept our judgment, Your Majesty! No, no, no, accept our numbers, Your Majesty! ”
Seeing Lin Jundao's smile and hearing Lin Jundao's laughter from small to large, every minister's heart was like a volcano that had been held for thousands of years was finally about to find an outlet!
