The Future Empress Is Given Death At The Beginning, And I Become Stronger When I Am Stupid.

Qin Mu stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, looked around, his gaze dignified and solemn:

"Spread my decree, starting from today, mobilize the entire country's strength to build the Supreme Immortal Palace of Great Qin and restore the former glory of Great Qin!"

"What?"

As soon as Qin Mu's voice fell, there was an uproar, and everyone in the hall was shocked!

All the courtiers were stunned!

Build an Immortal Palace?

How is that possible!

Even during the peak of the Great Qin Dynasty, they never built such a thing, let alone now when Great Qin is on the verge of collapse!

"No, absolutely not! Your Majesty, this cannot be done!"

The National Teacher, Du Yulin, was the first to jump and shout.

He never expected that at such a critical moment, Qin Mu would come up with such an absurd idea.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Great Qin is currently in a precarious state, both internally and externally. It cannot withstand such a disturbance. Your Majesty must revoke this decree!"

"I agree!"

"Building an Immortal Palace will exhaust the people and waste resources. It is not worth it!"

"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

Other courtiers also knelt down one after another, their expressions shocked, opposing Qin Mu's absurdity.

However, Qin Mu ignored their words and continued to speak to himself:

"Building the Immortal Palace is the foundation of the prosperity and rise of Great Qin. This is the most important thing at present."

"Once the Immortal Palace is built, the Great Qin Dynasty will surely thrive. At that time, who would dare to compete with Great Qin!"

"All of you are the pillars of Great Qin. I hope you prioritize the country and the state!"

"If you think this matter is difficult to accomplish, you can choose to resign and retire. I will not stop you."

After speaking, Qin Mu smiled at the courtiers. Although his tone was gentle, the hidden threat was evident.

"In addition, I have decided to build palaces in various counties for me to stay when I go out... oh no, when I go to battle."

Qin Mu sat back on the dragon throne, crossed his legs, and said casually.

"Your Majesty!"

Du Yulin's eyes went black upon hearing this, almost fainting from anger.

He thought Qin Mu had finally come to his senses, but who would have thought that he would come up with such a crazy idea!

Building palaces in various counties would cost a fortune!

Not to mention the materials needed for the palaces!

In this way, the treasury of Qin would surely be empty!

The fate of the Qin Dynasty would be in jeopardy!

Du Yulin took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and took another step forward, preparing to speak out against Qin Mu's absurd decision.

At this moment, Qin Mu continued:

"Rest assured, I will not use the resources from the treasury for now. During this time, I have confiscated the properties of many rebels."

"Plus, three princes have died, and their properties combined should be more than enough to build the Immortal Palace."

Qin Mu spoke casually, as if it was nothing.

Upon hearing these words, the courtiers felt a chill in their hearts, as if they could sense the disaster of extermination falling upon themselves one day.

The saying that the royal family is the coldest is indeed true!

The courtiers sighed in their hearts.

At this moment, Wang Xing, the Minister of the Household Department, suddenly stood up and respectfully saluted:

"Your Majesty, I am different from some people. I strongly agree with your idea, and I am willing to contribute my savings to personally fund the construction of ten palaces for Your Majesty!"

Other courtiers widened their eyes in astonishment!

Damn it!

Wang Xing, are you crazy!

No one flatters like you do!

And not only do you flatter, but you also step on others. That's a bit unkind!

Du Yulin also didn't expect Wang Xing to volunteer. He looked at Wang Xing, his eyebrows furrowed into a "川" shape.

And Qin Mu's eyes lit up, laughing heartily and saying,

"Your loyalty is commendable!"

He raised his hand, looking pleased, "Since that's the case, then contribute more. Let me give you a number, one hundred palaces!"

Wang Xing's face immediately turned pale, his heart bleeding.

One hundred palaces!?

Is he trying to drain me of my blood and eat my flesh?

"What? Is it difficult?" Qin Mu raised an eyebrow, his smile instantly disappearing from his face.

Wang Xing trembled all over, quickly saying, "No difficulty, no difficulty! I will definitely share your worries and solve any difficulties!"

Only then did Qin Mu's smile reappear on his face, saying lightly,

"Very good, I admire you. I won't treat you unfairly. Today, I will appoint you as the Minister of Works, in charge of building the palaces, coordinating the overall situation, and coordinating all parties to achieve success together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Wang Xing bowed and thanked, with an expression of loyalty and courage that satisfied Qin Mu.

The Minister of Works was confused, pointing at himself and instinctively asking, "Your Majesty, what about me?"

Qin Mu glanced at him sideways, "You have been demoted."

The Minister of Works: "???"

The National Teacher, Du Yulin: "........."

The courtiers: "........."

They found themselves increasingly unable to understand the Emperor's actions.

He was completely unpredictable, not following any set rules!

The courtiers exchanged glances, all wanting to boldly offer to build the palaces at their own expense to obtain higher positions.

But unfortunately, they were all short of money and couldn't afford to spend so much.

The position of Minister of Revenue was already in charge of grain, taxes, military supplies, and other affairs, and it was quite lucrative.

Their annual salary might not even compare to someone else's daily income.

Seeing Wang Xing's triumphant expression, the courtiers couldn't help but feel resentful, but they had no choice but to curse silently, hoping that the Emperor wouldn't close his eyes when he slept at night!

At this moment, Qin Mu put away his smile again and glanced at the courtiers with a calm gaze.

"The Minister of Revenue has already taken the lead, what about the rest of you?"

Upon hearing this, the courtiers instantly stiffened, their faces turning pale.

They struggled and hesitated, their faces filled with conflict.

"Your Majesty..."

Finally, the newly appointed Minister of Rites couldn't help but stand up, looking at Qin Mu with a bitter expression.

"Your Majesty, this old minister's family is indeed tight on money. I'm afraid I can't help with this matter of the palaces."

Qin Mu glanced at him and said lightly, "You have also been demoted."

The newly appointed Minister of Rites: "........."

He had only been in office for less than a month as the Minister of Rites... he hadn't even warmed his seat yet... and now he was gone??

Seeing this scene, the courtiers shivered all over and hurriedly spoke up.

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to contribute my family's wealth..."

"Your Majesty, I have a lot of savings in my hands, enough to pay for the construction of a palace!"

"Your Majesty, my family's estate is vast enough to build several palaces. I beg for Your Majesty's permission!"

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to donate to the national treasury!"

"Your Majesty, I am also willing!"

..........

For a while, the civil and military officials all rushed to offer their services.

Qin Mu looked at this scene, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, saying lightly,

"Good! Since you all are so enthusiastic, I won't refuse. You are all pillars of Great Qin, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

After hearing this, the courtiers' hearts twitched violently.

Pillars of Great Qin?

Clearly, they were just being taken advantage of!

"If you have no other matters, then you may leave the court."

Qin Mu looked at the civil and military officials, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned and left.

The courtiers watched Qin Mu's receding figure, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.
