I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

The Marquis of Wu'an, Qin Tianyang, was a powerful general of the previous dynasty who had fought off the invading Northern Mang army head-on!

This Marquis Wu'an has always been known as the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

More importantly, Qin Tianyang is one of the four great masters today.

However, there are five great masters now, but no one knows yet that Li Tian has broken through to the grandmaster level.

Qin Tianyang is the military pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The late emperor also respected this old marquis very much.

After Li Tian ascended the throne, he never dared to neglect this master.

Now Qin Tianyang is promoted to general and is the leader of the noble forces.

No wonder Xiao Weizi was so panicked.

Although he was a tenth-level master, he still couldn't stand up to Qin Tianyang.

It seems that there is only one level difference between a tenth-level expert and a grandmaster.

But there is a huge difference between the two. Many amazing masters have not been able to pass this level!

"What does Marquis Wu'an want to do by entering the palace?" Li Tian was still afraid of Qin Tianyang.

The queen, who was reading the memorials, said, "I should be able to guess why the old marquis came."

"Oh? Queen, tell me what you are talking about."

The queen took out a memorial, handed it to Li Tian and said, "Your Majesty, please read it."

Li Tian quickly opened the memorial and soon saw the content circled by Tang Hanxue in exquisite small calligraphy.

It turned out that this was a memorial submitted by the general of Eastern Liao.

Dong Liao was the fortress front line of the Great Zhou Dynasty against the Northern Mang.

When the emperor was still alive, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty gathered in Dongliao and attacked Beimang.

But during the reign of the previous emperor, the Northern Mang united the tribes and gradually rose to power.

The late emperor began to build fortresses and the Great Wall in Eastern Liao, gradually changing from offense to defense.

During the reign of the previous emperor, the Northern Mang moved south from Eastern Liao many times and invaded the heartland of the Great Zhou.

Later, Qin Tianyang, Marquis of Wu'an, personally led the troops to the battle.

Only then did they defeat the main force of Beimang, which brought ten years of peace to the Great Zhou.

However, since Li Tian succeeded to the throne, a new ruler of Beimang ascended the throne.

The ambitious Beimang grassland began to stir again.

Dong Liao was under tremendous pressure.

Dong Liao had a semi-militarized management model. There were no governors or county magistrates, etc. Only the Dong Liao general was in charge of everything.

This memorial was submitted by the general of Eastern Liao.

The content is also very simple.

In order to resist the Northern Mang, the Eastern Liao suffered many losses both in terms of military and civilians.

In particular, many soldiers were disabled.

Dong Liao is located in the northern border, where it is extremely cold and the environment is harsh.

Every winter many disabled soldiers died of starvation or freezing.

This had a great impact on the morale of the Eastern Liao army and civilians.

Therefore, the general of Eastern Liao requested the court to provide relief to these soldiers who were disabled for the country.

So that's what it was.

This is also in line with the character of Qin Tianyang, Marquis of Wu'an, who loves his soldiers like his own sons.

Sure enough, Wu'an Hou Qin Tianyang walked into the main hall.

Li Tian hurriedly went to meet him.

Li Tian still has great respect for this great general who guards the border.

Even if he was a tyrant, Li Tian would not attack Qin Tianyang.

Apart from having a bad temper, the Wu'an Marquis family has served the court for generations.

It can be called a military feat of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country.

Li Tian treated him with courtesy, and Qin Tianyang's expression looked better.

"Your Majesty, have you read the memorial from the Eastern Liao general?"

"My Lord, I have seen it."

Qin Tianyang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it's hard for soldiers to guard the border. If they become disabled, starve to death, or freeze to death, I'm afraid it will be disheartening for the soldiers in the north."

Li Tian continued, "My Lord loves his soldiers like his own sons. I know this and have already arranged for the cabinet to do it."

Just then, the system suddenly appeared.

[National Affairs System Triggered! How to Place Disabled Soldiers! ]

[This is a matter of state affairs and national policy. Should we hold a meeting in front of the palace? ]

No way, this triggers the system?

It can ruin the country's destiny again!

Li Tian stood up happily.

The last time the Western Factory was established, it ruined the country’s fortune by 3000 points!

Could it be that I am about to become an immortal?

Li Tian immediately said: "Old Marquis, this is an important matter that needs to be discussed carefully."

Qin Tianyang nodded.

Li Tian continued, "I think it is inappropriate to hand it over to the cabinet. This matter needs to be discussed by the ministers together!"

Seeing Li Tian's positive attitude, Qin Tianyang asked doubtfully, "It's just a question of how to place disabled soldiers. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

According to their usual thinking, the court would simply provide some pensions to comfort the remaining soldiers.

Just help them get through the difficult times.

The late emperor did the same when he was alive.

But Qin Tianyang was a little surprised that Li Tian would actually convene a meeting in front of the palace to discuss this matter.

Li Tian continued: "I will draft an order and convene a meeting in front of the palace!"

Li Tian's positive attitude left Qin Tianyang confused.

"Little Weizi! Call the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance, and other relevant officials to the Imperial Study for a meeting!"

"Old Marquis, please come as the representative of the Honor of Arms!"

Qin Tianyang nodded and said, "Then I would like to thank His Majesty on behalf of the soldiers of the Northern Territory."

After a while, Tang Xiaoren, who was handling official business in the cabinet, received an imperial edict from the palace.

Palace meeting?

Your Majesty, instead of holding a morning court session, is convening a palace meeting?

It seems that Your Majesty has not completely given up on the court.

Tang Xiaoren straightened his clothes and walked into the imperial study under the guidance of the eunuch.

The affairs of resettling disabled soldiers were related to the Ministry of Revenue, while the issue of rewards and punishments for military officers was related to the Ministry of Rites.

So the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites were called to hold a meeting.

Before he even entered the imperial study, the Minister of Revenue started complaining.

"Master Prime Minister! Our Ministry of Revenue has too much deficit, and it is really difficult to afford the pensions for these remaining soldiers!"

The Minister of Rites also said: "All the military camps in the territory are full, and there is no room to accommodate the injured soldiers."

Tang Xiaoren also had a headache.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. The memorial from the general of Eastern Liao was sent directly to the emperor.

It’s because the treasury is empty.

All the officials in the court are looking forward to Your Majesty transferring money from the inner treasury.

Tang Xiaoren understands everyone's difficulties.

But he is different from ordinary officials.

He has always been planning to reform and strengthen the country!

This meeting in front of the palace was Tang Xiaoren's opportunity to show his talents.

Only by making Your Majesty realize the financial constraints of the country will Your Majesty support me in making reforms.

Finally, Li Tian arrived at the imperial study.

Everyone walked into the hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw Qin Tianyang, Marquis of Wu'an, with a gloomy face.

The Minister of Revenue's expression suddenly changed.

With this great god here, the Ministry of Revenue has no choice but to bleed money this time!

The Minister of Revenue had a sad face.

Li Tian was in a good mood.

After all the ministers arrived, Li Tian said, "This palace meeting is to discuss the matter of the remnant soldiers of the Eastern Liao."

Then Xiao Weizi gave a brief summary of the memorial from the Eastern Liao general.

Li Tian pretended to be heartbroken and said, "These soldiers have been disabled for their country! Are we going to watch them starve to death or freeze to death in Dong Liao?"

Qin Tianyang, Marquis of Wu'an, immediately shouted, "Your Majesty is kind and generous!"

The other officials also shouted.

The Minister of Revenue was already cursing in his heart.

You are all good people. Since the Ministry of Revenue can’t pay, you have to become the bad guys!
