Chapter 106: The Emperor's Means

In the Holy Imperial Palace, the temperature of the fireplace dispelled the bitter winter cold, and although the news of Gerben's victory encouraged the empire for a short time, what followed was unexpected by Yale XIII.

Although he was satisfied with the announcement of the battle by the Military Aircraft Department, Yale XIII did not say anything about the reward they handed over.

Because after seeing the whole reward plan, Yale XIII felt a little blushing, if he issued such a reward, I am afraid that the whole world will be in an uproar!

"This is what you call a good way! Ridiculous! Ridiculous!" Tapping the piece on the log table with one hand, Yale XIII pointed to the six ministers of military aircraft kneeling at the bottom of the steps, and there was an explosive power in his voice.

Cold sweat oozed from the backs of the six people at the same time, the highest cultivation among them was Monteiro, who had a golden eighth-level cultivation, and the coercion of a ninth-level diamond powerhouse was not something they could resist at all.

Harvey Cole's head was like pounding garlic, and bean-sized sweat droplets were left on his forehead, and he said in fear: "Your Majesty is angry...... This idea was put forward by Wei Chen, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him!"

The other five people didn't expect Harvey Cole to be so simple, the five people looked at each other, they had never been so united, and kowtowed together: "Please also ask Your Majesty to calm your anger, it is the incompetence of the ministers, and please punish Your Majesty!"

Harvey Cole secretly complained in his heart, scolding the five of them for being shameless. Originally, he took the initiative to come out and confess, but he was afraid that the other five people would fall into the ground, but he didn't expect that now the five of them are good, and they will shirk it all at once.

Yale XIII's eyes swept over the six of them slightly, and he knew in his heart that they were careful. But it's not strictly Harvey Cole's fault, so he doesn't mean to blame any of the six of them.

However, this compensation plan is obviously insufficient, and the royal forbidden soldiers who died in battle only have fifty gold coins each, and once this matter spreads, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken!

He frowned slightly, slightly impatient, and said, "Get up!" Seeing that all six people hurriedly got up from the ground, he continued to scold: "It's disgusting to pretend one by one, and if something happens, it will only ruin the royal face, and I never know how to share the royal worries!"

The six people looked at each other, all feeling helpless, this is the result of their discussion together for two days, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the Ministry of Finance has allocated only so many gold coins, and it is almost impossible to want a decent reward.

Seeing that they lowered their heads and said nothing, Yale XIII patted the table lightly, snorted coldly, suddenly stared at Rob Carrey, and said in a deep voice: "Rob Carrey!

Rob Carrey secretly complained in his heart, but since he had already been ordered, he had to answer hard, bowed slightly, and said cautiously: "The Ministry of Finance can only squeeze out two million gold coins, if you want to make this reward not fall behind, you still need to allocate a part of the gold coins......"

Yale XIII had a slight displeasure on his face, and he felt extremely superficial about Rob Carrey's answer, so he immediately asked: "If the Treasury had money, would I still ask you?!"

He walked down the steps slowly, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he said coldly: "Okay, since we talked about the problem of money, let's sort out this problem today!"

Seeing him walk down, the heads of the six people lowered even more, and seeing their appearance, Yale XIII sneered at the corner of his mouth, paused, and then continued: "How is the current situation of the withering treasury caused? Is there a problem with the central government's control over the localities?!

He asked three questions in a row, each of which was directed to the hearts of the people, and Yale XIII almost pointed his nose and asked them how much gray income they had each year.

"If the financial problem is not solved, the next time the Romans attack again, what will we use to resist! We can't even give the most basic pension to the soldiers, who else in this world is willing to die for my Yale family!"

At this point, he was already standing in front of six people, and he almost roared: "Look at your appearance! I know the corpse position all day long, if the Romans come in, are you ready to surrender en masse! I'm afraid that sooner or later I will become a voter for you waste!"

The six people hurriedly knelt down, everyone's backs were already soaked with sweat, the prestige of the emperor of Yale XIII for more than fifty years had been deep, and now it suddenly exploded, they could only prostrate on the ground and did not dare to look up.

Among them, Rob Carey not only knelt on the ground, but also said with trepidation in his mouth: "Your Majesty is angry, and the minister does not dare to look up! But the minister has a word that dares to tell the world, die for the empire, die for Your Majesty, and realize the slightest complaint!"

Several other people didn't expect him to react so quickly, and hurriedly shouted: "Die for the empire, die for Your Majesty!"

The voices of the entire hall were staggered and chaotic, and the dignified military minister was as speechless as a slave, and if he was seen by the people of the empire, he would definitely be stunned.

Hearing their intermittent oath, Yale XIII waved his hand and said with some annoyance: "Shut up for me! This is the Imperial Palace, not your family's vegetable garden, and the noise is endless!"

Seeing that he was angry, several people quickly stopped shouting, and one by one they prostrate on the ground and did not dare to move, quietly waiting for his next step.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the main hall, Yale XIII paced back and forth, and in an extremely oppressive atmosphere, he finally spoke again: "The pension must be raised to at least five hundred gold coins per soldier, and all the royal forbidden soldiers who participated in the war should each have two hundred gold coins! The rewards of other officers at all levels need to be discussed again, and the rewards that should be given to the knighthoods must be rewarded, in short, we must show a courage for victory!"

After he finished saying all the reward specifications in one breath, the six people kneeling on the ground were slightly commotionous, but his outburst just now was terrifying, and the words made people dare not say anything for a while.

In the silent hall, Tuskang was the first to break the silence, his face was almost on the floor, and his tone was slightly flustered: "Your Majesty...... Such a reward, if you don't have 10 million gold coins, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve......"

Yale XIII glanced at Tuscon, who was speaking, and he did not accuse this old minister, but said lightly: "The Ministry of Finance has no money, but there are always people in this imperial capital who can take out the money......"

Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and said with some hesitation: "Some time ago, someone mentioned something to me, the empire needs a baptism, and we need a strong department to supervise hundreds of officials......

"The burden of your military aircraft department is too heavy, and the strength of the supervision department is a little weaker, I think it is better to help you reduce the burden, and in the future, the task of supervising hundreds of officials will be transferred to other departments. ”

Yale XIII's last sentence finally said his purpose, and the six people kneeling on the ground were in a trance, they felt that something was wrong from the beginning of the emperor's reproach and reward, but they didn't expect the highlight to be here!

Unable to care about the silence any longer, Gragia took the lead in speaking: "I don't know which department is the other department in Your Majesty's mouth, the supervision of hundreds of officials cannot be lightly moved, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

The other five people couldn't care about continuing to be afraid, the emperor had already said this, if he was silent any longer, he was afraid that he would immediately be poor. And they, who are extremely sensitive to political smell, immediately thought of the Bauhinia Guard incident a few days ago!

"There is nothing wrong with the Ministry of Supervision, and now that they have suddenly taken away their powers, I am afraid that something is wrong! Please think twice about your majesty!" Harvey Cole kowtowed again, hoping to reverse the emperor's mind.

Monteiro, Budilson, and Monteiro then kowtowed to ask for their lives. Yale XIII's eyes flickered slightly, the struggle for power was a game of invisible gunpowder, and these old foxes were indeed white-eyed wolves that could not be fed.

He stood with his hands in his hands, his fingers back and forth, until the six people gradually noticed that the atmosphere was wrong and raised their heads, he smiled slightly: "Since you strongly oppose my proposal, then you will give me 10 million gold coins, so as not to lose my royal face!"

Between the virtual and the real, the six people were slightly puzzled, and they couldn't vaguely guess what the emperor meant: whether the emperor wanted to set up the Bauhinia Guard, or did he want to beat them with this matter.

In fact, Yale XIII was also helpless, of course, he hoped that this could be a real duel, so that he could easily break the current political pattern.

It's a pity that the Chaogang is not a dueling ground, and the entanglements in it are extremely complicated, if it is a big slash, it is a trivial matter to kill a few officials, and if the political system collapses, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the country.

Faced with this difficult choice, Monteiro once again showed superhuman determination, he stepped forward, gritted his teeth and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen is smashing the pot and selling iron, and he will also send 10 million gold coins to the Ministry of Finance!"

Hearing his words, the smile on the corner of Yale XIII's mouth became thicker and thicker, glanced at the other five people, and said lightly: "I can't afford to wait for this 10 million gold coins, if I can't get it out within ten days, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to the soldiers on the front line." ”

The faces of the other five people were extremely ugly, but in the face of the establishment of the Bauhinia Guard and the 10 million gold coins, they finally chose to take out 10 million gold coins, it was really the past of the Bauhinia Guard was too terrifying, and no official was willing to face its existence!

The five people knelt on the ground, straightened their waists together, and said with a blushing face: "Weichen and others are willing to guarantee! After ten days, the Ministry of Finance will definitely give an extra 10 million gold coins!"

Yale XIII's face finally looked good, and he personally helped them up one by one, and said with a light smile: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, the pillars of the country, you deserve it!"

The six of them hurriedly touched their chests with their right hands again, and said respectfully: "I am willing to die for the empire!

Yale XIII nodded with satisfaction, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and muttered, "I think the reward of David Mo is still up for debate...... The first-class earl is a bit low, so it is better to be a third-class marquis!"
