At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had summoned Huang Liji and other ministers to discuss matters in the Qinzheng Palace, as usual.

Today is the eighth day of the new year, and the ministers will enter the West Garden to meet them, report on the major events in the world, and put forward some suggestions in person.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian will definitely participate.

But today, Wei Zhongxian could clearly feel that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was a little absent-minded.

So much so that Huang Liji, the first assistant university scholar of the cabinet, talked eloquently, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to be sleepwalking.

This made Huang Liji and several ministers couldn't help but be a little discouraged, any meeting, for the ministers, they had to do their homework, they stayed up all night, I thought I would get His Majesty's praise, but who knows, His Majesty turned a deaf ear.

At this time, a eunuch from outside hurriedly came in: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

All of a sudden...... The Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to be a monkey in the sky, his body was agitated, and his eyes were shining.

"Come in, come in and talk."

When Wei Zhongxian looked at this eunuch, he probably understood something in his heart.

However, Huang Liji was a few of them, and they looked confused, they were surprised that on such an important occasion, what was being discussed was a major matter of military aircraft, and it stands to reason that eunuchs would not dare to come in and disturb easily.

And the reason why this eunuch has the courage to come, the only possibility is that His Majesty has already issued an edict for them to come and report at any time.

What's wrong?

Huang Liji and the others immediately guessed that it might be that a concubine was pregnant, oops...... If so......

I thought about it again, which concubine was seriously ill?

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked the eunuch: "Have you calculated it?" ”

The little eunuch bowed down and stumbled: "Count...... It's calculated, but it's more general and not very detailed. ”

"That's it, don't be verbose."

So the little eunuch hurriedly took out a book from his sleeve, then looked down at the book and said, "The income of this year's internal money ......?"

"Don't talk about this...... Emperor of the Apocalypse said anxiously, "I only ask you how much you have left." ”

"Your Majesty, there is a surplus of twenty-nine thousand seven hundred taels."

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he immediately frowned.

His Majesty's actions made Huang Liji and the others stunned.

And this operation? It's not the end of the year yet, so I'm in a hurry to calculate the surplus and drill the money?

It's like if it's not dark yet, you have to hug your mother-in-law and tell you, which is not a good sign.

Wei Zhongxian's face flashed with a sad look, and he knew some truths even more, so a trace of vinegar flashed in his eyes.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sat down on the dragon chair and sighed: "That's it, I have worked hard for a year, I have saved so much money?" ”

The little eunuch lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound.

Huang Liji stroked his long beard beside him, made a breezy appearance, coughed, and said: "Your Majesty, the world is quite peaceful at the moment, and it is fortunate that there is a surplus in the internal money." ”

"But I owe 50,000 taels of silver!"

Huang Liji was shocked.

What? The emperor still owes money?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said bitterly: "With such a large sum of silver, can he afford it for Zhang Jingyi?" It is natural to repay debts, but even if this kid is sold, he can't afford to pay back the account. He doesn't know how much money he spends, he doesn't know the difficulties in the world, and he has no money to stump heroes. ”

Huang Liji and several ministers looked at each other, and they were speechless in surprise.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse continued: "I miss that he is young, and he will have a long time in the future, thinking about it, this money ...... I'll find a way to help him pay him back, huh...... Fifty thousand taels......"

At the thought of fifty thousand taels, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt as if something was holding his neck, and he couldn't breathe.

The income from the internal funds is very large, but the expenses are also amazing, the Emperor of the Apocalypse originally thought that he could leave tens of thousands of taels this year, but who knows...... There are less than 30,000 left.

"Your Majesty......" Huang Liji immediately put on a straight face and said: "In this world, where is the reason for the emperor to repay the debts of his courtiers?" Zhang Jingyi's matter, the minister has also heard of it, this son spends excessively, although it is in the name of doing good deeds, but Your Majesty ...... That's not how things are done, how can the way of economy be as simple as doing some charity? This is Huangkou Xiaoer's nonsense, if His Majesty pays off the account for him today, he will ...... He was even more presumptuous. ”

Wei Zhongxian also followed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, although this Zhang Jingyi's heart is good, this matter must not be connived at, how can he do good deeds, but teach the palace the truth of the aftermath." The slave and maid heard a saying, called: The saint does not die, and the thief does not stop. If you connive at him today, everyone will follow his example, ignore their own catties, make a fuss about this, and compare it to the trend, but it will delay the big thing. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was still thinking about raising money, and at this time, listening to Huang Liji and Wei Zhongxian's rampage, he couldn't help but say: "I understand what you mean, you just say...... Zhang Qing is just stupid. ”

Huang Liji said lightly: "No, the minister just said that he is not very smart." ”

Emperor of the Apocalypse: "......"

Although it has the same meaning, the latter is obviously more healing, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse actually finds it easier to accept.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed: "But what should he do, he owes so much money......"

Huang Liji immediately said: "To put it bluntly, this son is too hasty and ignorant of the world." The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, he can be a kind ordinary hundred households, but he can't take on the big responsibility. ”

What is the ...... Speaking of Wei Zhongxian's heart, yes, for the sake of Your Majesty, we are unkind and unjust...... As a result, he was scolded, Zhang Jingyi's dog thing, what kind of messy thing he did, but there are still fools who think about him.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse heard that he couldn't take on the big responsibility, but he didn't agree with it, but he ...... He also knew that it was difficult to refute, after all...... The facts are right in front of you.

So, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had no choice but to sigh again and said, "What Qing Zhi said may not be unreasonable. ”

He was silent, drooping his head, and began to calculate in his heart again, another 20,000 taels of silver...... But how to make it up? Liaodong's military expenses cannot be moved, and the disaster relief money and food of the Shaanxi Political Envoy Department cannot, of course, be less than a penny, or ...... The use in the palace is a little less, and from tomorrow, let the concubines use less......

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing on the side, saw the anxious appearance of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he probably understood His Majesty's thoughts in his heart.

The temperament of the Emperor of the Apocalypse has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, sincerity, which is a quality that an emperor should not have.

Whether it is to his adoptive mother, or to the nursing mother Keshi, it also includes Wei Zhongxian...... He has an unconditional trust, as well as a sense of dependence.

And now...... Wei Zhongxian faintly felt that a young man gradually began to occupy a certain position in the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse just like them, and once he stood in this position, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had to dig out his heart and lungs for this person.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but glance at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with emotion, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but the emperor in front of him was something he watched grow up, and seeing the worry of the Emperor of the Apocalypse also reminded him of the Emperor of the Apocalypse's care for him on weekdays.

Ay......

That's when ......

Another eunuch came in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Zhang Jingyi, one hundred households, entered the palace to meet him. ”

"How did he get here?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but say, "I'm looking for him, so I can scold him." ”

said so, but there was still a bit of joy in his eyes.

The eunuch said: "Zhang Baihu said...... He...... He's coming...... Send money. ”

"Send money?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned for a moment, and suddenly got up: "What kind of money did he send?" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had a headache when he talked about money.

The eunuch looked at the words in a low voice and said, "Say yes...... His Majesty's ...... The slave doesn't know what the patent fee means...... Here's what he said. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was angry at first, and finally couldn't help laughing: "This is really a lot of debt, call in, call in, I will teach him a good lesson today." ”

Zhang Jingyi hurriedly entered the palace at this time.

I haven't been here for a few days, and I can't help but have a sense of intimacy about revisiting this place after standing guard for a long time.

After selling the shop, Zhang Jingyi hurried over, not because he had a lot of money, but because of the protection fee...... No, this patent fee must be paid.

Everyone can make a fortune together for a long time, otherwise what if people are targeted by such a big profit as selling a shop?

He strode into the palace of diligent government.

Then he said: "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Rise.

I saw Huang Liji, who was sitting on the side, looking at him with very complicated eyes.

There is no schadenfreude, after all, Zhang Jingyi's current status is not worthy of such emotions from the cabinet scholars.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw him, he was happy and angry, and opened his mouth and said, "To tell you the truth, how much money do you owe?" ”

Yes......

Owed money?

As soon as Zhang Jing heard this, she was not sleepy.
