"Your Majesty, the minister has a book! The minister impeached Lord Shang Shu Tu of the Ministry of War for drawing a large number of men and horses from the Praetorian Guard, so that the defense of the capital was empty, and asked His Majesty to surrender! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Lord Wang of the Ministry of Household for embezzling the treasury money, money, rice and grain without permission, please Your Majesty strictly investigate!"

"Your Majesty! The generals of the various departments of the Praetorian Guard in the capital left their posts without permission and did not arrive at their posts for three days! ”

……

As soon as Zhao Yizhi went to the court on this day, the ministers pinched each other and impeached each other for the crimes of other ministers, and the court was disturbed one after another.

"Alright, don't make any noise."

Zhao Yizhi replied lazily, and the noise in the court immediately quieted down, and the silence could be heard.

Zhao Yizhi glanced at it and said, "Where is Tu Youhui, the secretary of the military department?" ”

"Wechen is here!" Tu Youhui stood up from among the ministers.

"Play!"

"Obey! Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the five regions have been assembled, a total of 300,000, and they have set off from their respective territories. The 200,000 Yulin army in the capital has also been assembled, and they can set off early tomorrow morning! The army totaled 500,000 and went to the Northland. ”

Zhao Yizhi nodded: "It's not easy to raise an army of 500,000, but it's more than ten days of hard work, and it's difficult to do." ”

"This is the business of the minister!" After Tu Youhui finished speaking, he stood back in his position.

"What about Lord Hubu Shangshu Wang?"

Zhao Yizhi called another person.

"The minister is here! Your Majesty, the army's food, grass, and military supplies are all available, all of which have been prepared and set off with the Yulin Army! It's just that... After this transfer, the treasury is empty..."

"Can you still give out the money you are waiting for?"

Wang Yihong lowered his head, this question was asked in the court, and he didn't know how to answer it.

Zhao Yizhi just stared at him quietly, and he didn't urge, and many ministers sweated for Wang Yihong, this is not an answer, not an answer...

Wang Yihong gritted his teeth, and after reciting the sentence "loyal to the monarch and patriotism" in his heart, he replied: "Back to Your Majesty, your lords' fortunes, next month... It's going to be halved..."

"How much is missing? Is my little cofferet enough to make up for the deficit? ”

"Yet... insufficient..."

Wang Ruhong is the secretary of the household department, and he knows all the silver in the middle of the court, and the loopholes of Yulu are too big!

"If it's not enough, I'll make up for the deficit from the food money in the palace."

Make up for the deficit from the food money in the palace?

When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked and knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, you must not!" ”

The food silver in the palace, to put it bluntly, is actually the emperor's food silver, what other delicacies can the eunuchs and palace maids eat? If there is a gap, there will be one less plate of delicacies on the emperor's table.

Taking silver from the emperor's mouth is a strange thing in the world, and it has never been heard of in the world.

"Get up, don't persuade you! Every family has wives and children, mothers and daughters, and they are supported by your money. I'm alone, and I can't die if I eat a few dishes. ”

"Your Majesty, the silver specifications of the palace are not high, if you deduct it again... It is not in line with the etiquette law! Even if the old minister dies on hunger strike, he must not let His Majesty go hungry! ”

An old minister with white hair and beard said tremblingly.

"Your Majesty think twice!"

The ministers all bowed, and a few people hesitated slightly, gritted their teeth and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, how can any courtier be full and your Majesty cannot eat? This is ... Old minister, I really can't stand it! ”

"The ministers really can't stand it."

With this old man taking the lead, all the ministers responded. At this time, the officials, whether sincere or following the crowd, all opposed Zhao Yizhi's proposal.

Zhao Yizhi looked at it fixedly and said with a smile: "Isn't this the crown prince Shaobao, Lord Feng Qi Feng?" I... When I was young, I was more cared for, and the old and young were good lately? ”

"Your Majesty is worried, and the old minister is terrified! The old minister has always been in good health, and he does not bother His Majesty. Please also ask Your Majesty to take back your order! ”

"Old and Young Bao, in the past, you suffered an injustice, and you were accused of killing your nephew and imprisoned, every time I think about it, I feel a great loss in my heart!"

Feng Qi remembered the past, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's grace, the old minister would have died!" ”

Zhao Yizhi knew that people were easy to get excited when they were old, so he didn't stimulate him anymore, just raised his hand slightly, and an invisible force helped Feng Qi up from the ground.

"The same goes for your grown-ups!"

The ministers were a little stunned, what about me?

"All the kings are all unborn geniuses, although they learn to be literary and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family. But I'm the emperor's family... Heh..."

Zhao Yizhi smiled bitterly.

"I didn't give you the value you deserve, in those years of turmoil in the country, all the monarchs were precarious, but they are still discreet, I remember them one by one!"

"Master Li, your old mother is sick, and she needs sixty or seventy taels of silver to grab medicine and tonic every day, and you only have eighty taels a month, what are you doing on your knees?"

"Huge man, your wife has seven sons, and the family has food and clothing, if there is no money, how can you live?"

"The rest of the gentlemen, I don't dial them one by one, and you are honest and honest on weekdays, I have eyes to see, ears to hear, and I am neither blind nor deaf. This matter has been decided, and if there are any more dissenters, Hugh blames me for being ruthless! ”

Zhao Yizhi pointed out the two ministers in the crowd, who have divine sense, what else in this world can hide from him? These two ministers can be described as extremely difficult, but they also gritted their teeth and knelt down just now...

"Your Majesty, Beiyi has been retired for six years... National security and folk music, why bother to use swords and soldiers again! Feng Qi said in a choked voice.

"It's true that Beiyi retreated, but if you want to say that they are safe, it's not necessarily true!"

Zhao Yizhi sighed and said: "Beiyi, is the root of the Great Apocalypse, although the army is temporarily withdrawn, but the thief of the southern invasion will not die, and if it is not eliminated for a day, it will be a disaster after all, and I have received the military information, and the Beiyi soldiers will inevitably get involved in my Daqi territory again within a year!" ”

"I have made up my mind, this time I will fight with Beiyi endlessly, don't ask you again!"

Feng Qi looked at Zhao Yizhi and straightened his rickety old waist slightly: "Your Majesty insists on this?" ”

Zhao Yizhi was about to get up and announce his retreat from the dynasty, but when he saw Feng Qi like this, he sat back again: "What else does Lord Feng have to say?" ”

Feng Qi trembled and was about to kneel down again, Zhao Yizhi was about to raise his hand, but he said slowly: "Your Majesty, slow down." ”

"The old minister knows that His Majesty is wise and martial, and everything is for the sake of the country, the people, and even the rotten wood reliefs on top of the court, the old minister!"

"The minister is old, and the position of Shaobao has been vacant for more than 20 years, and he has not made any achievements, and His Majesty has let it go. Now the old minister wants to do his part for the Great Apocalypse and His Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will not shirk! ”

Zhao Yizhi squinted his eyes and asked, "What does the old and young protect want?" ”

"The minister's family still has some money and food to spare, and there are no heirs. I am willing to donate my family funds to replenish the treasury and help His Majesty's ambitions! ”

Feng Qi's words were loud, even louder in the quiet court.

"Exactly! Can the old and young keep seven cents of their family assets and donate the rest to the national treasury? ”

Zhao Yizhi's voice was soft, and it was even more ethereal in the main hall.

"Old minister... I am willing to donate all my family resources, and I hope that Your Majesty will approve it! Feng Qi slammed his head and slammed it on the ground.

"Knock~!"

This sound seemed to knock on the hearts of everyone in the hall, Wang Zhenliang quietly turned sideways and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

"Think twice!" Zhao Yizhi stood up unconsciously.

"I hope Your Majesty will grant permission!!"

"Boom!!"

There was another bang, much heavier than the one just now.

Zhao Yizhi was silent for a moment, looking at the gray hair on Feng Qi's head, and the memories that did not belong to him when he was a child surfaced in front of him.

“… Quasi-play. ”

Zhao Yizhi has no choice, the treasury really needs money...

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to donate... Eight points of family capital! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has 100 acres of fertile land!"

"Your Majesty... The seventh son of the minister, the fourth son has grown up and can serve the country! ”

The crowd was indignant, and many ministers knelt down on the hall one by one, kowtowing their heads one after another.

"Knock knock knock..."

The sound of kowtowing is endless.

Ask yourself, Your Majesty is doing his best to treat them today.

has been in power for nearly ten years, except for Chen Yu, Chen Jing, and Li Changwen, no one has been dismissed from office or beheaded.

Now that the Great Apocalypse has suffered from this catastrophe, and even His Majesty has cut down the food and silver himself, how can they be indifferent?

After all, people's hearts are made of meat.

The sound of "dong dong dong" echoed in his ears over and over again, Zhao Yizhi closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slowly flowed.

"Your Majesty...," Wang Zhenliang reminded in a whisper on the side.

The ministers have been knocking for too long.

"Quasi-play!"

As soon as the sound came out, the ministers raised their heads and glanced at each other, and some of their heads were already red and swollen; Some people have already knocked out the red blood; Others were disheveled and embarrassed.

The ministers laughed, and this piece of laughter spread outside the palace, as if it had drifted far away.

After the next court, the ministers retreated to the court, one by one, with their heads held high and their spirits high. The guards who didn't know thought that all the adults in the court were promoted to the next level and gave countless silver.

Zhao Yizhi sat alone in the empty hall and called softly: "Historian! ”

An official holding a brush hurriedly stepped forward to listen to the order: "The minister is here!" ”

"How do you remember it?"

According to the rules, Zhao Yizhi is the emperor, and he has no right to influence the written words of the historians, and he has no right to even hear it. If you really want to listen, you can only listen to the deeds of the previous emperor.

The historian hesitated for a while, he was an upright person, but now he slowly opened the annals of history and read: "All the officials in the court and the central government responded, donating silver and food, the emperor is happy, and the quasi-performance." ”

"Change!" Zhao Yizhi gently spit out a word, but his words carried an undoubted meaning.

The historian bowed and said, "Please give instructions to Your Majesty." ”

"Describe all the things that the ministers have done, and be sure to be detailed! Also, write down all the names of your adults in the annals of history! No one is missing! ”

The historian held the annals and pushed them aside, sighed softly, and recorded the names of the hundreds of civil and military officials above the early dynasty one by one.

……

A few days later, I don't know who leaked the news, and the people of the capital took their money, food and belongings and sent them outside the palace gate.

Even the street slickers who are idle on weekdays did not feel moved when they saw the mountain of belongings at this time, but took the initiative to stand aside, acting as the bodyguards of these money, food and property, and vigilantly watching the people coming and going.

"The people's hearts are available..."
