It seemed as if Emperor Xinglong would become a tyrant who would bring about the downfall of his country if he did not listen to their advice.

What saddened Emperor Xinglong the most was that

The prince he had trained for nearly twenty years actually stood in front of so many ministers.

The prince bowed to Emperor Xinglong and said,

"Your Majesty, I believe that what you ministers have said is absolutely correct."

"If Qingfeng Village cannot be eliminated, the world will be in turmoil and the people will be unable to live in peace. I believe that the court should once again organize a large army to march south..."

'boom! '

While the prince was still talking eloquently,

Emperor Xinglong slammed the table and stood up.

Emperor Xinglong was about to get angry, but he finally held himself back.

He closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath, then he forced himself to suppress the fire in his heart.

He nodded with a difficult smile on his face and said in a deep voice,

"I fully agree with what the officials and the Crown Prince have said."

"With loyal subjects like you in Daqian, why should we fear mere Tartars and rebels?"

All the court officials bowed and kowtowed.

"The Holy One is wise!"

Emperor Xinglong narrowed his eyes slightly, but smiled.

"Haha, great! Shengming, well said!"

The King of Chu, who had been silent all this time, stood up at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the rebels in Qingfeng Village should be destroyed, but we, Daqian, must never align ourselves with the Tartars..."

Before he finished speaking,

Emperor Xinglong waved his hand.

"My mind is made up, King Chu, there is no need to say more!"

Emperor Xinglong then looked around the hall, and the officials smiled and said,

"My dear ministers, you are putting the affairs of state first. I am deeply comforted."

"Of course we must suppress the rebels, but we must also guard against the Tartars in the north!"

"At this critical moment when our country is in danger, it is not impossible to negotiate with the Tartars."

Many officials in the hall breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

But I heard Emperor Xinglong continue,

"But a while ago, when the Tartars invaded the border, they said it would be very easy to get them to withdraw."

"That idiot heard that the rebels in Yangzhou have extorted tens of thousands of taels of silver from the whole city. So all we need to do is send tens of thousands of taels of silver, and they will immediately return to their lair with the silver."

Many people's hearts trembled. Tens of thousands of taels of silver?

What a huge lion's mouth is this?

At the same time, some people had a bad feeling in their hearts.

As expected, Emperor Xinglong held his forehead and sighed,

"It's a pity that the imperial court is now empty. Right now, only the Ministry of Revenue has 1.5 million taels of silver."

"As for the remaining 90 million taels of silver, I hope that all the ministers can help the court with some plans and share the burden with me."

"It would also help the imperial court reach an agreement with the dead pig skin as soon as possible, so that they can withdraw their troops and allow the imperial court to fully wipe out the rebels in Qingfeng Village!"

What he said was so passionate and thought-provoking.

Even in the main hall there were faint echoes!

However, as soon as these words came out, the excited and passionate civil and military officials in the court...

It was as if someone had pinched their throats.

Bury your head deep into your chest.

The huge hall suddenly fell silent, you could hear a pin drop, it was so quiet that it was eerie.

The King of Chu originally thought that his father really wanted to negotiate peace with the Tartars.

He immediately understood what his father meant.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and lowered my head.

After Emperor Xinglong finished speaking, his eyes fell on the face of an official.

The official immediately lowered his head, fearing that he would be discovered.

After looking around the hall at the hundreds of cultural relics and officials, no one spoke.

Emperor Xinglong's expression, which originally had a hint of anticipation, finally became completely gloomy.

He narrowed his eyes and glanced coldly at the ministers in the hall.

"Why? Is there no one willing to share the worries of the king and father?"

Countless people have understood what Emperor Xinglong meant, and unable to withstand this invisible pressure, they kneel down on the ground.

Finally, he is the head of all officials, Fang Congzhe, the current chief minister of the cabinet.

He knelt on the ground and said,

"I wish to donate all of my salary this year to the imperial court!"
