The people retreated one after another, and panic-stricken people arose.

I wonder what happened?

Jiang felt inexplicably uneasy.

After saying hello, he and Tian Xinyue, who were worried about something, greeted each other.

Took the child back to Feng Mansion.

Jiang Jinrui sent Tian Xinyue back home.

Also went into the palace.

royal palace.

In the Jinluan Palace.

The emperor's face was beaming as he listened to the report from the Ministry of Revenue.

"Your Majesty!"

"Fifty wealth-gathering houses in Nanjing were confiscated, and 10 million taels of silver were seized."

"I have already counted the amount and put it into the national treasury."

As soon as Mr. Zheng from the Ministry of Revenue finished his report, all the civil and military officials were shocked.

They started whispering.

"Fortunately, the Turtle Emperor didn't succeed."

"That's right, otherwise Nanjing will really be sucked into a hollow shell."

"This Turtle Emperor is truly insidious and vicious."

"Our Majesty is truly wise."

……

The Prime Minister's eyes were full of calculation, as if he was thinking about something.

The emperor did not expect that Zuo Wuhen would achieve so much in just a few years.

In his country of Nanjing, he opened fifty wealth-making shops.

If it had not been discovered, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Now the treasury was full of money.

It can be considered a prosperous new year.

The emperor's joy lasted only a few seconds.

The Prime Minister stepped out.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has something to report."

The emperor's eyes darkened instantly, and he guessed something in his heart.

This old fox must have seen that there was money in the treasury and came to ask for silver.

The emperor said in a deep voice.

"Say, what's the matter?"

Then the Prime Minister said shamelessly.

"Your Majesty, in Changzhou Prefecture, a severe flood occurred in May this year, resulting in countless casualties."

"This year, there was no harvest at all."

"I, this old minister, have the audacity to ask the Emperor for one million taels of silver on behalf of the people."

"It is used to help the people, repair the river embankment and settle down for the winter."

The emperor remembered.

I cursed in my heart, damn old fox.

Do you think I am blind?

Then he said with a dark face.

"I remember that in May of this year, one million taels were allocated to Changzhou Prefecture for resettlement and river embankment repairs."

At this time, Lord Zheng also stepped out.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. I still have records here in the Ministry of Revenue."

Humph! You old fox, you really think I'm easy to fool.

I didn't know people well before, and my son almost died in your son's base.

You supported the Second Prince before, but I don’t know your character?

The prime minister saw that the emperor was not easy to fool.

He lied shamelessly.

"Your Majesty, the money has been used to repair the river embankment, but the flood is too high this year."

"The riverbank has collapsed again, destroying the people's peaceful homes."

The emperor was extremely angry.

"Where is the Ministry of Industry?"

Lord Wu from the Ministry of Works came out trembling.

"Your Majesty, in May, I sent people to repair it, and they have completed it."

"I haven't heard that the riverbank has been washed away again!"

Lord Wu broke out in cold sweat, fearing that the emperor would punish him.

I cursed the Prime Minister thousands of times in my heart.

Damn the prime minister, he must have been greedy for money.

Do you really think I am yours?

When your son captured my son.

I have become your enemy, Lord Wu glared at the Prime Minister fiercely.

Then he proposed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent. I will report to Your Majesty after I have thoroughly investigated it."

The emperor agreed.

The Prime Minister was so angry that he clenched his fists and glared at Mr. Wu from the Ministry of Works, saying that he was really asking for his own death.

[Hehe! This Prime Minister is really shameless. The one million allocated by the Emperor in May.]

[All of it went into the Prime Minister's pocket. The officers and soldiers sent out by Mr. Wu from the Ministry of Works were all bribed by the Prime Minister.]

The people's homes remained the same as before, and no money was spent to help them settle down.

[The river embankment was not even touched. The prime minister had immense power and influence, and the people did not dare to complain.]

[Later, this caused the people of Choshu to be displaced.]

The emperor was very angry when he heard his granddaughter's thoughts.

He looked at the Prime Minister with cold eyes.

The Prime Minister suddenly felt that the Golden Palace was a little colder.

At this time, all the civil and military officials also felt that the emperor was angry.

Lord Yang of the Ministry of War originally wanted to take this opportunity to withdraw food and wages for the soldiers from the emperor.

Seeing the emperor's cold face and feeling the knife edge, he decided not to go into it.

He decided to talk to the Ministry of Revenue privately and shamelessly.

The emperor winked at Eunuch Chaode.

Eunuch De said in a shrill voice.

"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

All the civil and military officials pursed their lips and said nothing.

Just waiting for Eunuch De to call for the end of court.

Feng Yaoyao became anxious and flapped her little wings.

[Grandpa Emperor, there's an urgent matter. There's an uncle in military uniform riding a horse on the street with an urgent report.]

The emperor was delighted to see his beloved grandson enter the palace, and even more so to see such a big grandson.

Shocked.

At this moment, I hear the voice of my good granddaughter.

His heart was in his throat.

I started to feel a little uneasy.

Urgent news: Something big happened?

He quickly signaled Eunuch De to step aside.

at this time.

Shouts were heard outside the Golden Palace.

"Get out of the way, urgent report."

Civil and military officials all stepped aside, leaving a path in the middle.

I saw a soldier in tattered military uniform coming to the front of the hall.

With red eyes and tears in his eyes, he knelt down and said.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Chi Xuanyu, the barbarian from Beiyang, who led his troops to attack our Nanjing."

"Your Highness, the God of War, led the troops to fight and repelled hundreds of thousands of Beiyang troops. Your Highness, the God of War..."

Seeing the soldier crying so hard that he couldn't speak, the emperor shouted anxiously.

"Tell me quickly, how is His Highness the God of War?"

The soldiers' voices were choked with sobs and tears were streaming down their cheeks.

"Your Majesty... His Highness the God of War has passed away."

"He passed away..."

The emperor almost fell down and couldn't believe it.

"No... Impossible."

"This is absolutely impossible..."

"Nothing will happen to Jun Che."

The soldier took out the secret letter from his arms with trembling hands.

Eunuch De quickly stepped forward, took it, and presented it to the emperor with red eyes.

When the emperor opened it, he almost fainted.

There was no way he could forget the handwriting of this word.

This is the notes of the old Protector of the Country, who is the father of the late Queen.

He is also Jun Che's grandfather.

The emperor's eyes were filled with tears, and the eyes of all the civil and military officials were red.

Unexpectedly, the God of War died like this, even though the war was won.

But their Nanjing Kingdom has lost its god of war.

From now on, the Beiyang border can only rely on the Duke of Protectorate.

The courtiers secretly wiped away their tears.

The Prime Minister and Feng Qiyan looked at each other.

The joy on his face could not be hidden.

Jiang Jinrui came in and knew the situation, and stood quietly at the back.

He felt very upset, because Feng Junche was the god of war he admired the most.

The atmosphere in the Golden Palace was depressing and heavy, making it hard to breathe.

Feng Yaoyao flapped her little wings and looked at Grandpa Huang like this.

[Grandpa Emperor, don't cry, don't cry. How can the God of War die so easily?]

[The God of War is blessed with a long life, only his leg is broken.]

[In the book, after Feng Qing'an became emperor, his maternal grandfather's family was exterminated.]

[My mother died tragically in the cold palace, and the fifth prince Feng Junche avenged her and even died for her.]

The emperor relaxed a lot after hearing this. At this time, another soldier came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Western Chu is leading his troops to attack Nanjing."

"They shouted, 'Avenge the Little Princess of Xichu!'"

"General Li Rende, the guardian of the nation, was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Countless soldiers on the border were killed or wounded."
