In the emperor's bedroom, the queen said, "The emperor has been busy for a long time, so lie down and rest." The imperial doctor has advised you not to overwork. ”

As he spoke, he was to serve the emperor and lie down.

The emperor waved his hand, "Wait, Ze'er will summon the six ministers to come over and discuss the preparation of grain, grass and military salaries!" ”

He figured it out, without food, grass and military salaries, not to mention that Yun Shengtian was unwilling to go to appease Chu Chenyuan's subordinates, even if he went, it would be a trip for nothing.

Besides, if he takes over Chu Chenyuan's soldiers and horses in the future, he will have to settle the grain, grass and military salaries of the soldiers and horses.

As for where these food, grass and military salaries come from, and those ministers who enjoy the country's money, it's time to find a way.

Chu Junze was stunned, "Father, do we really want to send grain, grass and military salaries to Chu Chenyuan's subordinates?" ”

At this time, Chu Junze held the pillow that had been thrown by the emperor just now in his hand and looked at the emperor.

The emperor beckoned to him, and Chu Junze stepped forward cautiously, "Father? ”

The emperor snatched the pillow from Chu Junze's hand and threw it towards Chu Junze, "You bastard!" That's Da Chu's soldiers and horses! Chu Chenyuan has been in control of his hands for so many years! It's time for me to get it! ”

Chu Junze glanced at the emperor, that was Chu Chenyuan's hardcore subordinate, you said you could take it?

"Yes! …… Erchen understood! Erchen is going to summon the six ministers to come over and discuss it! Thinking in his heart, he didn't dare to say it at all, so Chu Junze hurriedly ran out.

The emperor was also tired from the fight and threw the pillow aside.

The queen mother hurriedly placed the pillow in the right place, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest!" ”

Without waiting for the queen's voice to fall, the emperor couldn't support it, so he lay on the pillow all of a sudden, closed his eyes, and said nothing.

Holding on just now, he was really tired, and he really wanted to kick everyone out of the house and be quiet alone.

The queen and the imperial concubine looked at each other, and at this time, even if there was a great resentment, they could only be suppressed in the bottom of their hearts.

"Sister Queen, what is the Emperor? Do you want to pass on the imperial doctor? The imperial concubine asked cautiously.

In case the empress wants the emperor to sleep like this and never wake up, then it would be better for her son to ascend the throne as a matter of course.

It's just that the queen will definitely not do what she wants.

Sure enough, the queen said, "The imperial doctor is waiting outside, and my sister is going to send the imperial doctor in." ”

The queen mother was quite calm, holding a handkerchief and wiping the cold sweat from the emperor's forehead.

The imperial concubine hurriedly walked out, and after a while, the imperial doctor walked in with a medicine box on his back.

"Hurry up and show the emperor, is the emperor much better!" The queen lady instructed the imperial doctor.

"Yes!" The imperial doctor hurriedly put down the medicine box and knelt down in front of the bed.

At this time, the emperor fell asleep tiredly, and in his sleep, he was still holding the jade seal tightly.

The imperial doctor took the emperor's hand, and just about to take the pulse, the emperor woke up suddenly, "Who wants to snatch my jade seal?" ”

"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor is here to check the emperor's pulse, please stretch out your arm!" The queen spoke softly.

The Emperor let out a long breath and slowly stretched out his arm.

I fell asleep just now and had a long dream, dreaming that Chu Chenyuan came back with a machete in his hand, forcing him to hand over the jade seal.

Chu Chenyuan said that the jade seal belongs to the Chu family, and he is an outsider and is not worthy of being an emperor at all.

He was shocked into a cold sweat, and as soon as he woke up, he saw a pair of hands coming towards him.

He also thought that the owner of those hands was Chu Chenyuan, and almost shouted Chu Chenyuan's name.

It's okay, it's just the imperial doctor.

The Emperor took a breath and closed his eyes.

On that day, the emperor returned to the palace from the regent palace and asked the queen mother, and learned that he was indeed Guo Zhong's son, and Guo Zhong was not surnamed Guo at all, as for Guo Zhong's real name, the queen mother and the emperor did not know, only knew that Guo Zhong was once the great protector of the demon clan.

The emperor closed his eyes at this time, hating Guo Zhong in his heart.

Without absolute certainty, he leaked his life experience, thanks to no one believing Guo Zhong's wild words, otherwise, he, the emperor, would have moved his head.

The imperial doctor raised his head and put the emperor's arm back into the quilt, "Your Majesty, judging from the qi and blood, the emperor is recovering well, but the emperor must not be angry or tired,......"

"Shut up!" The Emperor opened his eyes suddenly, "When do you say I will be able to stand up?" ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The emperor is angry!" The minister is indeed not sure, and when he says the date when the emperor can stand up, he can only slowly recuperate and dredge the emperor. ”

"Get out!" The Emperor slowly closed his eyes.

He was waiting for Li Zhongjing, hoping that Li Zhongjing could cure him at once.

The imperial doctor hurriedly got up and rolled out.

Chu Junze went to summon the six ministers, and after a while, the ministers followed behind Chu Junze and entered the palace.

Originally, these ministers were in the palace to guard the spirit of the emperor after the next dynasty, and when they heard that the emperor summoned them, they didn't even have time to change their filial piety clothes, so they came in a hurry.

"Long live the emperor when you knock on me!" The ministers came in and fell on their knees.

The emperor slowly opened his eyes and motioned for the imperial concubine and the empress to help him up.

When he sat upright, and saw the people on the ground wearing filial piety clothes, he suddenly became angry, "You are one by one!" …… Is this a curse to die soon, or is it an attempt to rebel? ……”

The queen mother hurriedly whispered in the emperor's ear, "The emperor is angry, you can't be angry!" ”

Can he not be angry?

Wearing filial piety clothes in front of his sickbed, isn't this a curse for what he does?

"The emperor is angry!" In the end, it was Prime Minister Zuo, who quickly took off his filial piety clothes, "The ministers haven't seen the emperor for a few days, and I heard that the emperor summoned him, and he didn't care about anything, so he came in filial piety clothes, and asked the emperor to be considerate of the ministers and others who wanted to see the emperor's loyalty." ”

Under Prime Minister Zuo, they all took off their filial piety clothes, "Please forgive the ministers for the sake of the ministers who are anxious to see the emperor's loyalty!" ”

Ha ha!

The Emperor sneered.

He didn't believe he had that much charisma.

It's just that, for now, these people are still useful.

"Hmmm! Get up! The Emperor calmed down and said calmly.

He already felt that every time he was angry and anxious, he would feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, which made him feel painful.

He also wanted to live a few more years and wanted to see Chu Chenyuan's body.

"I summoned a few of you here to tell you that I decided to send Miss Yun Er to appease the regent's old department, but now that the treasury is empty, and you need to raise food, grass and military salaries, you guys want to think of ideas!"

The ministers who had just stood up looked at each other, but no one spoke.

A few days ago, Miss Yun Er got married, and they pawned all the cloisonne in the house, and today they came to raise food and grass for military salaries, isn't this their lives?

After a while, Zhou Shijing, the right prime minister, stood up, "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Great Chu, among the eight great families, except for our Zhou family, we have been paying grain and taxes for the treasury.

The other families, enjoying the protection of the imperial court, have never done anything for the imperial court.

The minister proposed that the emperor should issue an edict to order several other families to take out grain, grass and military salaries to help the court overcome the current difficulties! ”

The Emperor nodded.

As one of the eight major families, the Zhou family has been supporting the imperial court all these years, and has long been dissatisfied with several other families, but there is no opportunity and they have not said anything.

Now Zhou Shijing proposed to let other families also pay for grain and grass and military salaries, completely because he felt that other families did not pay taxes on grain, which was too unfair.

Even if this road doesn't work, it should be a stone to ask for directions.

The Emperor looked at the others and encouraged them to speak their minds.
