Fast Crossing: The Plan to Save the Sick Villain

Chapter 234 The Movie King's Princess (30)

"I don't have any appetite, let's withdraw."

As time passed, Chu Yu felt more and more that what Shen Ye said before leaving was very meaningful.

Fortunately, there was no news that night.

From the looks of it, things went well for Song Qinghuan.

But at this time, the previous dynasty was not so smooth.

It was rare for Chu Chen to go to court in the early morning. Longyan was solemn, but the eyes under the twelve jade crowns were dark.

The whole person is vain, and looks a little depressed.

"Border riots, you guys have come up with a solution for me!"

Chu Chen's chest heaved violently, and he couldn't help clenched his fists and coughed a few times in a low voice.

"I thought I could send envoys first, and then..."

Before the Minister of Rites could finish his words, he was hit on the head by a memorial thrown down by Chu Chen.

"The enemy country keeps harassing. You told me to send envoys. When did I, Liang, feel so aggrieved?"

If it weren't for his old age and frailty, he could not stand the toss, he would have brought the army back long ago.

Is there still a need to discuss with these civil servants?

All the courtiers lowered their heads and did not dare to reply. Today's Daliang is no longer what it used to be.

After years of taxation, the national treasury is still empty, coupled with the complicated bureaucracy, it is a large expenditure.

Can't fight at all.

"Report, hurry up to [-] li, battle report ahead."

The post soldiers ran away and crippled three horses, and only then did the battle report reach Shengjing as quickly as possible.

Laifu carefully submitted the battle report, and glanced at Chu Chen's face from time to time.

With a bang, Chu Chen directly slapped the battle report on the desk, making the courtiers below tremble uncontrollably.

"Let the Ministry of War move the food and grass there first, and the speed must be fast!"

Cheng Liben, Minister of the Ministry of War who was named, came out immediately, and his eyes quickly met Li Changhe's.

"The minister leads the order."

After Chu Chen issued this edict, he returned to the alchemy pavilion, with the attitude of leaving all state affairs to the chief assistant.

And the officials of the former dynasty were indeed headed by Li Changhe.

"The state treasury can't afford such a large amount of food and military pay now."

The Minister of the Household Department called a bunch of people to come and do the calculations, but after many calculations, the calculations became more and more chaotic.

Even the treasury was empty on the books.

Holding the account book, Wang Lang trembled, and quickly glanced at Li Changhe's expression.

Daliang's taxes are rising every year, but the national treasury is empty every year, unable to make ends meet.

Wang Lang is very clear about the tricks in this.

It's just that he didn't dare to make decisions on such a big matter alone, so he could only ask Li Changhe for instructions.

After receiving the account book, Li Changhe glanced at the numbers circled with a red pen at the end, his expression normal.

As if that astronomical figure was nothing more than a few taels of silver to him.

"What is Master Shen's opinion?"

These days, when Shen Ye entered the cabinet and was personally recommended by Li Changhe, it can be said to be very beautiful.

And Li Changhyuk did use him heavily, and he was always asked for his opinions on state affairs and political affairs.

Seeing that all the officials were very jealous.

"The reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, presumably Mr. Shoufu knows better than me."

The huge amount of deficit in the account of the Ministry of Accounts was expected by him, but Li Changhe would not complete the account alone.

"Indeed, now that Daliang is in trouble, as a minister, I should share the worries for His Majesty."

Li Changhe glanced around at the ministers with bowed heads, then raised his tone a little,
"You say yes, my lords."

Although the Li family can afford this money to be used as food and military pay, it is impossible for the Li family to pay all of it.

Everyone here counts as one, and which one has not benefited from him.

Now I want to pat my ass and leave, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
"It's up to the chief assistant to follow the lead."

Who dares to refute Li Changhyuk's face?
Even if they were asked to spit out the fat they ate in their stomachs, they did not dare to complain.

What's more, if the border really can't be defended, it's useless for them to keep these gold and silver treasures.

After everyone left, Li Changhe stopped Wang Lang again and whispered a few words.

"This, this will delay the military plane."

This is a serious matter, even if he has ten guts, he would not dare to delay the transportation time of grain and grass.

"Then Mr. Wang has to think about the account book."

Patting him on the shoulder, Li Changhe smiled as if he was sure that he would agree.

Seeing that His Majesty's health is deteriorating, the establishment of a reserve is imminent.

If all obstacles can be cleared away, Chu Chu's position will be stabilized, and their Li family will naturally stand firm.

However, Chu Ang is His Majesty's direct son, his status is different from other concubine sons, and he is also the most powerful candidate for the crown prince.

Therefore, if you want to blame, you can only blame him for blocking Chu Chu's way.

Cold sweat had already broken out from Wang Lang's forehead. If His Majesty knew about the account book, it would be a serious crime that would implicate the entire family.

But if the military plane is delayed, he, the minister of the household department, can be regarded as the best.

"Don't worry, I will guarantee that you will have no worries in your old age, and your descendants will have a prosperous official career."

What people in the world can't ask for is wealth and power, so if they lure them, he won't believe him and won't move Wang Lang.

Sure enough, after weighing the pros and cons, Wang Lang still chose to side with Li Changhe.

If someone else made such a promise, he would not believe it, but this person is Li Changhe, who has power over the government, enough for him to take this risk.

For several days in a row, under tremendous pressure, Wang Lang used all available reasons to delay the transportation of grain and grass.

Fortunately, His Majesty has not shown up since that day, and Lai Fu dictated all political affairs on his behalf.

This prevented Wang Lang's blood pressure from soaring to the highest level.

But after Chu Yu heard the news, every time he went to court, he would block the entrance of the Tai Chi Hall.

Wang Lang was able to evade others, but he really couldn't handle Chu Yu's aggressive questioning.

Every time it's either urinating or claiming to be sick, he has to go home and take medicine. This time he really has no reason.

"I have also read the account book made by your household department. The account book is very clean and there is a surplus. Why is it different from what Mr. Wang said a few days ago?"

It was because it was too clean that Chu Yu became suspicious.

Sure enough, after checking, there was a problem.

The amount in circulation on the market does not match the account book at all, and even a large deficit.

Where the money went, I am afraid Wang Lang knows best.

"This ledger is made by the subordinates, and this minister has misremembered it at this moment."

Wang Lang smiled apologetically. If he had known Princess Qinghua was so difficult, he should have just claimed sickness and asked for leave.

"Misremembered? If Mr. Wang has a bad memory, he might as well stop being the Secretary of the Household Department and abdicate as soon as possible."

Every time I play Tai Chi with her, do you really think she has a good temper?
"I will give you one more day. If you can't raise food and grass, I will send you to the border to fight the enemy."

Without food and grass, Brother San Huang couldn't last long at all.

But every time she went to the Taiji Hall to meet her father, she would be stopped by Laifu.

Without exception.
