Wen Family Has a Wife

"Sneaky?" Xiao Guang asked back with a sneer, Yingwu's body leaned forward, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression, half-closed his eyes, and said quietly, "I think you all know where Lingnan is. At that time, he failed to control Lingnan, but only maintained the superficial peace. In fact, Lingnan broke away from Daqi as early as the first emperor.

If I insist on going to Lingnan, I have to meet the king of Lingnan in battle. In a place like Lingnan, no matter how many people I send in, there is not much chance of winning. Instead of doing these unnecessary casualties, it is better to concentrate our forces against the Huns and the Huns. Tibet! I think it's a good deal to exchange the Xiongnu and Tubo for Lingnan! "

At this moment, he finally revealed his ambition without any concealment!

Du Shoufu was stunned by him, and couldn't recover for a long time, even the others were silent for a while.

I thought he was an immature and controllable monarch, but he turned out to be a dormant wolf king. Compared with the previous emperor, this emperor is obviously much more decisive in his actions and will not be easily swayed by others. Look! The attack on the Xiongnu and Tubo, and the separatist rule of Lingnan, he did it quietly. If the matter hadn't reached the point where it couldn't be covered up, would they continue to be kept in the dark?

All civil and military officials were frightened and cold, colder than the winter snow fluttering outside, but what could they do? They don't even have the right to object! Things have come to this point, and war with the Huns and Tubo is inevitable. If there is a war with the two countries, Lingnan will naturally not be able to send troops. Otherwise, there will be internal and external troubles, and Da Qi will be in danger. If this is the case, why call them to the court?

Everyone's interest was low, and they looked at Xiao Guang cautiously with their heads drooped, not even daring to fart.

Xiao Guang stared at Shangshu Hubu, the deep meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Hubu Shangshu's face was so pale that even a trace of blood could not be seen, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again, and after a long time of murmuring, he tremblingly said: "The emperor... the emperor... ..there is only so much money and food in the treasury! Veteran... Veteran really..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Hubu Shangshu clutching his chest and falling to the ground with a bang.

The surrounding ministers were taken aback, some were stunned, and some rushed forward to pinch them, shouting for the imperial physician, and the hall was in chaos.

Xiao Guang's face was ashen, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Clearly account the account of the Ministry of Accounts, report to me in the imperial study later, and then list out next year's expenses, I want the most detailed! Also, I remember that the first emperor repaired it before. A summer resort, in my opinion, is too much of a waste of money, and in a few days, post a notice to sell the summer resort!"

What?

The civil and military officials seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and looked around blankly, thinking that they had auditory hallucinations.

Standing in the front row, Prince Li frowned and looked at Zhuo Mingxuan.

After the court, Prince Li walked with Zhuo Mingxuan and the others, frowning, "It's really unheard of for the emperor to sell property, and I have never seen it before, and I don't know who would dare to make a move!"

Zhuo Mingxuan also looked dizzy, shook his head, and said: "Don't say that the prince has never seen it, it is the first time I have seen it even as a low official! Since ancient times, every king who lacks money does not get money from the people. It's a good position, just sell the property directly, ha ha... I don't know how long these things from the royal family will last him!"

Fighting a war is not a small fight, and you are going to fight against the two countries at once, you can't do it without enough family background!

Seeing that the two of them were not very optimistic about Xiao Guang, Cong Li who had been silent all this time said suddenly: "I think it's good that the emperor is like this. , doesn't it just mean that the emperor is a good emperor who loves the people like a son?"

Zhuo Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "What Cong Ge said is very true, and the old man didn't say anything bad about the emperor, but this little money is just a drop in the bucket for Zhan. The most feared thing about Zhan is that there will be no follow-up. We're just worried."

Cong Li didn't panic, "The emperor has already started to plan, but we didn't know his strategy until today.

It's too late to worry now, I believe the emperor will not make unsure accounts. "

Prince Li and Zhuo Mingxuan were stunned by this blindly convinced look. They never thought that someone like Cong Li would become Xiao Guang's fan, as if he had joined a cult.

For a while, they didn't say anything, and hurried out of the palace.

After hearing the emperor's will, the Hubu Shangshu who woke up faintly in the Imperial Hospital forgot to wear his official hat, and staggered all the way back to the Hubu with his boots on backwards. Seeing the mess inside, he immediately grabbed him The one closest asked, "What are you doing?"

The little official wiped his sweat from the cold weather, and replied: "My lord, the emperor wants the account books, and he needs someone who is well-organized and knows the state of the treasury to report. Obviously, it's not like listening to nonsense. Now everyone doesn't want to take this risk." Everyone swept the snow in front of the door, turned to the area they were in charge of, and planned to report with a group of people, you see..."

Hubu Shangshu looked at this group of subordinates who were dying, wishing to faint again, and rushed in angrily, getting angry a lot.

When Eunuch Liu came in, he was stunned by the situation inside. He was stunned for a moment, looked up at the plaque on the door, and made sure he was in the right place, and then he said loudly: "Master Shangshu, the emperor announces you to go to the imperial study."

Hubu Shangshu didn't care about how disheveled his clothes were, he looked like a shrew, so he asked a few assistants to bring the account books and leave with Eunuch Liu. One glance, and he could no longer take care of these messes, and his mind was full of how to answer in a while.

When he entered the imperial study, Xiao Guang narrowed his eyes immediately when he saw his appearance, "Does the Minister of the Household Department have any objections to me?"

The Hubu Shangshu who came back to his senses was startled. Seeing that everyone looked at him wrongly, he realized something was wrong, and knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, the old minister is damned, it is the old minister who is confused. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Guang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he waved his hands and said, "Tell me, what's the current situation of the treasury?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Accounting gritted his teeth, and presented the most important account book in his arms, "Your Majesty, every year the accounts of the Ministry of Accounting will be counted and sealed. According to the actual revenue and expenditure of the treasury, the minister can judge whether the treasury has received more revenue or spent more this year. Of course, this account book is usually useless after the inventory is completed, because this year has not yet started accounting, and the minister still keeps this account book. You can use it as a reference, where the expenditure is too much, I have marked it with a red pen."
