Chapter 1: The Fake Eunuch

Next Chapter

Dayan, Imperial City!

Jinling Palace!

In the palace, the palace maid walked in a hurry, carrying water and tea.

The six eunuchs stood on both sides, slumped in shape, lowered their posture, and did not dare to move for half a minute.

Liu Tian was in the middle of it, and his forehead was already oozing dense cold sweat, and he kept exclaiming in his heart!

I'm ......

Crossed?

He was originally an outstanding young man in the 21st century, serving as a senior executive of a listed company, and his position was prominent.

At a celebration banquet, Liu Tian, who drank a lot of wine, fell from the sixth floor.

When I woke up again, I was in this place.

Crossing is crossing!

What made Liu Tian most uncomfortable was that he actually crossed over to the eunuch.

Moreover, he is still a fake eunuch.

Just now, he had already absorbed the memories of his predecessor.

The predecessor was also called Liu Tian, and his parents were both croppers who did their duty.

In recent years, there have been wars on the border, and there have been countless exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. It also coincided with a disaster year, and there was no grain harvest.

Liu Tian's family was already poor, and after he really had no rice to put in the pot, he had to send Liu Tian to the palace.

I don't know if God has mercy, on the day Liu Tian entered the clean room, the deacon and eunuch drank too much wine, and his hand was a little off.

But this is tantamount to plunging Liu Tian into a sea of fire again.

After all, how long can the body of a fake eunuch be hidden in this palace full of crises?

Once exposed, death is assured!

"Dead!"

"It's a purgatory start!"

Liu Tian scolded in his heart.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

At this moment, an announcement came from outside the hall.

Immediately after, the footsteps sounded in a hurry.

Liu Tian raised his eyes and looked at it, and his pupils suddenly shrank!

I saw a man in a bright yellow dragon robe walking quickly.

He is tall and straight, and has a handsome appearance.

There is a majestic and domineering atmosphere between the eyebrows.

Although he is young, he has a mature and steady atmosphere, which makes people solemn and surrendered.

It is the current saint of Dayan - Emperor Yan!

It's just that at this moment, the emperor's face is pale, and his eyes are gloomy like water.

It seems that he is in an extremely bad mood.

Along the way, everywhere they passed, everyone knelt down, their necks were buried deep, and they were crawling in fear.

"Hey, you want to die, don't you understand the rules of the palace?!"

"Dare to look directly at the saint, how many heads do you have enough to cut off!"

At the same time, the little minion beside Liu Tian hurriedly pulled the corner of Liu Tian's clothes and reminded in a low voice.

Liu Tian smiled bitterly when he heard this, hurriedly bent down and lowered his head, buried his head deeply, and didn't dare to look at Emperor Yan again.

Fortunately, today's Emperor Yan seems to have important matters to deal with, and he did not bother to look at their group of inconspicuous little eunuchs.

Inside the Jinling Palace.

All civil and military officials gathered.

In the past, civil and military officials would never gather except for the early dynasty.

This time, it is clear that something big is happening.

Emperor Yan walked quickly into the main hall, and all the civil and military officers knelt down one after another.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Flat."

"Long live thanks!"

After the ceremony, Emperor Yan sat on top of the dragon collapse and threw a roll of Baili in front of the hundred officials, and couldn't help but rub his brows.

"The entire 300,000 guards at my border are defending against foreign enemies and fighting bloody battles with the original slaves!"

"However, the defenders of Fancheng led the rebellion and gathered tens of thousands of grass bandits."

"It's only been a few days, and all six cities in the hinterland of the border pass have been lost."

"If the feudal city is lost again, the next step is the Tiger and Phoenix Pass, and after the Tiger and Phoenix Pass, it will approach my imperial city."

"And the back of the border army will also be in danger, once attacked, the belly and back will be attacked."

"Shame! It's a shame! ”

Emperor Yan spoke angrily.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the best plan?"

The ministers looked solemn and did not say a word.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you all dumb?!"

Emperor Yan's eyes widened, and his gaze swept to the left and right columns.

Emperor Yan's face was gloomy.

"Your Majesty, you can't be angry because of a bunch of."

A civil official stood up and comforted Emperor Yan.

"Humph! How can I not be angry?! ”

Emperor Yan snorted coldly: "The border soldiers are bloody on the battlefield to protect the security of the country. The result? ”

"The rebels took advantage of the weakness to enter and wantonly slaughter the people, and even burned, killed and looted, and deserved death!"

"Such scum should be broken into pieces!"

Hearing this, His Royal Highness's martial arts and ministers all changed color.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the rebels are powerful this time!"

At this moment, Prime Minister Li Yuanming stood up and bowed down and said.

"Prime Minister, what do you mean?!"

Emperor Yan frowned and asked.

"Your Majesty, now that the border is in an emergency, if it is not solved in time, I am afraid that there will be endless disasters."

"According to the shallow view of Weichen, it is better to ......"

"How about it?!"

Emperor Yan asked.

"It's better to send troops out and behead the traitor to show the public!"

"As for the rebels, they can be caught in one go."

"Once and for all!"

"In this way, this scourge will be eradicated once and for all!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded the proposal."

"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded it!"

The prime minister's suggestion immediately aroused the approval of other officials.

Yan Huang's eyes flickered.

He naturally knew that if he sent troops to fight, he would definitely provoke the ferocity of the rebels.

At that time, it will be another bloody storm!

But the prime minister's method is indeed in line with the status quo.

Once the border is in an emergency, the consequences are unimaginable.

"If you're not in a hurry, who would do such a stupid thing?"

"Hey...... Suppression by strong forces will only allow the rebellion to continue and intensify. ”

Outside the hall, Liu Tian sighed in his heart.

As a former person at the lowest level, he has a deep understanding of the difficulties of the people.

"It seems that Emperor Yan lives in the palace and doesn't understand the suffering of the world!"

……

"Huh?"

"Who's talking?"

In the main hall, Emperor Yan was suddenly startled.

Looking up at the ministers in the hall who bowed their heads and were silent, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Auditory hallucinations?"

The government has been busy these days, and it is not impossible to do so......

Thinking of this, Emperor Yan nodded slowly: "The Prime Minister's words are very true. Since you Aiqing thinks that the prime minister's plan is feasible, from now on, the household department will allocate 400,000 taels of silver for border defense! ”

"Yes."

Soon, Emperor Yan gave the order.

"Hubu Shangshu, prepare to adjust the silver!"

After listening to Emperor Yan's order, Hubu Shangshu's face turned white with fright!

"Your Majesty, 400,000 taels?!"

"Your Majesty, Wechen has just calculated."

"In the past half a month, Gyeonggi, the state capital, and major counties and counties have owed nearly 10 million taels of tax silver!"

"There are also some merchants who hoard goods, which leads to a shortage of supply in the market, which makes prices soar in various places."

"If this situation continues, it will only take five days, and the entire Dayan finances will be exhausted!"

"By that time, the treasury will be in deficit!"

The more he spoke, the more anxious he became.

"What?!"

Emperor Yan changed color suddenly: "A mere tens of millions of taels of silver would cause such a situation!" ”

"What else can I do?!"

"I can't really drag down the households, so I can only let the households suspend the raising of food."

Tobe Shangshu opened his mouth to speak, but finally turned into a long sigh and bowed down.

As time passed, Emperor Yan's patience gradually ran out.

On the one hand, it was the border emergency, which made him worried.

On the other hand, it was above the court, where the ministers argued and blamed each other, which made him extremely annoyed!

If you want to fight, you need money and food.

But where does the money and food come from?
