"Ning Tongyi, you block the way of speech and suppress your colleagues, you are in love with the power position, and you don't want people to touch the military power in your hands!

"Fart! It's clear that someone has ill intentions and wants to plot military power in order to achieve their ulterior motives!"

"Who? You have the ability to name this man!"

"Hmph, do you still need to say it? anyone with a brain can see it!"

This court was in a lot of chaos at this time, Li Chengfeng saw two gray-haired high-ranking officials from the fourth grade, one desperately pulling each other's gray beard, and the other desperately pulling the other party's little hair, one of them desperately punched at each other, the other desperately kicked his legs, and after only a few strokes, the two of them fell to the ground together, rolling and rolling, just like children in the market.

Not only that, but there were even generals in the field who had already compared, the two punched and kicked, only a few kicks in the official hat, the official robe was torn, and there were even applause and curses next to them!

Li Chengfeng was eye-opening and dazzling!

Zhao Bairen looked at the chaotic court, he was trembling with anger, he couldn't help but pat the armrest of the dragon chair hard, and said angrily: "Enough...... Enough, enough!"

It's a pity that his voice was hoarse, patting the dragon chair and shouting in his voice, but he was suppressed by the noise below, but the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies stepped forward and shouted in a sharp voice: "Silence!!"

I have to say that this voice was like a hot knife stabbed into the soft tofu, crisp and dry, everyone stopped at once, came back to their senses one by one, and hurriedly lowered their heads and retreated to their positions.

Zhao Bairen stood up and stared at them angrily: "Look, look at how you look like one by one! Good courtiers, good officials! What kind of place is this? Is this the entrance of the vegetable market? Is this a busy market? All of them are people with status and dignity, and they are spitting obscenities and fighting in this big hall, what kind of system has they become!!"

While speaking, many courtiers covered the torn official robes with their hands with red faces, some straightened their official hats, but many people looked at each other with a sneer, and secretly spat on them, not taking Zhao Bairen's words in their eyes at all.

Zhao Bairen couldn't help but say: "Ning Tongyi! You are the squire of the military department, you speak! Why do you want to suppress the words of the official!"

Ning Tongyi also got into a fight with others before, and was reported as an old fist, and he also kicked a few times, and now there are still a few gray footprints on the vermilion purple official robes of several officials.

Ning Tongyi heard the emperor's name, he straightened out his appearance, stepped forward unhurriedly, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, what the Ministry of Rites said seems to be concerned about the safety of the Great Qi Dynasty, but in fact it is alarmist and confuses the public! ”

Ning Tongyi, as the core ironcore of the prince's family of officials, is both a military attache and a clerk, he can be called both civil and military, he speaks clearly, his voice is loud and sonorous, his posture is neither humble nor arrogant, and his words are extremely infectious, even people like Li Chengfeng who know the inside story are infected by him.

That's right, after so many years, why hasn't the Nine Nether Kings succeeded once?

Li Chengfeng also listened carefully, but heard Ning Tongyi continue: "Your Majesty, the trouble of the Great Qi is not outside, but inside! If the Demon King is born, the world's cultivation sects will fight it together! The army and the people of the world work together, how can they be afraid of the Nine Netherworld King? The Hades King has not succeeded in thousands of years, and he will not succeed in the future! But if our Daqi is in chaos by itself, it will be self-destruction of the city wall and self-destruction!"

"Your Majesty!" Chen Itong, who had quarreled and scolded Ning Tongyi before, immediately came out and angrily scolded, "This is a fallacy to confuse the public! I have been in the country for 500 years, the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so why do you talk about chaos?"

Ning Tongyi sneered: "Chen and Itong, why don't you refuse to move your noble feet and walk around and take a look?

Chen and I shouted angrily with red ears on the same face: "Presumptuous, Your Majesty, Ning Tongyi is rude in front of the monarch and slanders the monarch's father, and he should be punished for the crime of disrespect!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zhao Bairen shouted with a big head: "Enough! Ning Tongyi, you finish speaking!"

Ning Tongyi respectfully knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Even if Your Majesty doesn't let the minister say it today, the minister will vomit it today!"

The officials of the prince's family all stared at Ning Tongyi, they all knew that this guy with a strong and upright personality and always a straightforward and fast-talking guy was about to fire a cannon again!

Ning Tongyi took off his official hat first after getting up, as if he knew that he would be afraid that he would not be able to protect himself after a while, he looked at Chen Wutong and said, "Chen Yushi, dare to ask you do you know how much my taxes were fifty years ago?"

Chen and I were stunned when they heard this, and sneered: "I'm not a household official, how do I know?"

Ning Tongyi sneered: "I'm not a household official, but I know! Fifty years ago, my Daqi's tax revenue was about 9.8 billion taels of silver! Then do you know how much my Daqi's tax revenue is now?"

Chen and I snorted coldly and did not speak.

Ning Tongyi said: "It's 2.8 billion taels of silver!"

Some numbers are not known, but everyone is shocked when they say it.

"Huh, so much?"

"yes, it's almost quadruple!"

"Where are the seventy-one taels of silver in the middle?"

"That's right, where?!"

As an emperor, Zhao Bairen naturally knew something, he sighed and didn't speak.

Ning Tongyi went on to say: "Now that Daqi's tax revenue has shrunk sharply, there are more and more places where money is being used everywhere! The Tong'an tragedy needs to be suppressed, the Lingzhou civil uprising needs to be suppressed, and the soldiers and horses need food, grass, and salaries as soon as they move, so where does the money come from? Recently, there have been floods and plagues, and the people have fled and begged, and now there are still 20,000 refugees left in Taiyang City! This is not counting the affected people in other towns! They are about to run out of food, and those who have no food will have to wander around, and if they can't find anything to eat, they will rise up and rebel! If you want to help these victims, it's all money!"

Ning Tongyi said to his fellow officials with a sad and indignant face: "However, where does the money come from? There are only 20 million taels in the treasury now, and even the money for disaster relief is not enough! If this money is taken out for disaster relief, all the officials in Shenjing will have to go to the streets next month to ask for food!"

This sentence frightened everyone, and they turned their heads to each other.

Chen and I sneered: "What does this have to do with you blocking the way of speech?"

Ning Tongyi also sneered: "Naturally, it has a relationship! Now Daqi seems to be full of flowers, but in fact, it is boiling oil on fire, and there is a danger of overturning at any time! What the most important thing to do now is to immediately stop the endless infighting in the imperial court, raise funds as soon as possible, and provide relief to the victims! Instead of talking about the catastrophe and grandstanding! Have you ever thought about how heavy a burden it will bring to Daqi if you use all your manpower and material resources on the crusade against the Hades King according to the stargazing sacrifice? This is simply ignoring our country and the life and death of the people of the world! These people are traitors! Thieves of the country!"

Ning Tongyi scolded bitterly, and the court was quiet for a while, Rao is a bold figure like Li Chengfeng couldn't help but admire this Ning Tongyi's courage is really fat!

Dare to reveal the internal and external troubles of Daqi together in a bloody way in front of Emperor Zhao Bairen's eyes!

Zhao Bairen frowned when he heard this, he looked at the prince who had been sitting upright on the side, and said, "Prince, is what he said true?"

After saying this, everyone held their breath, which means that the internal struggle between the two parties has officially entered the climax at this time!

Because His Majesty the Emperor's questioning tone was obviously full of anger and dissatisfaction, no matter how the prince answered at this time, this pot would fall on his head!

Because, he is the crown prince in charge of the country! Now that the country has made it like this, he cannot escape the blame!

But everyone knows that the real culprit that caused the country to become like this is not the crown prince!

But why would such a clever and powerful figure as the prince suddenly attack himself? What is his intention?

Everyone waited calmly for the prince to speak, waiting for his move.
