the other side.

in the bedroom.

Nie Zheng just left.

Wu Meiniang on the dragon bed slowly opened her eyes.

Although there was still a tired look on his face.

But a pair of beautiful eyes are extremely deep.

Obviously.

When Nie Zheng stepped off the dragon bed.

Wu Meiniang was already awake.

It's just that she was sleeping with her eyes closed.

"Emperor, what kind of person are you?"

Looking at the distant back of Long Nian.

Wu Meiniang murmured.

A pair of beautiful eyes were a little dazed.

I don't know what's on my mind.

...

Inside Longde Hall.

Civil and military officials were silent.

No more noise like yesterday.

Lu Zhi sat behind the bead curtain.

Zhao Gao accompanies the driver.

The whole Longde Hall was very quiet.

Everyone is waiting for the emperor to come.

They had already entered the palace in Yin Shi.

The equivalent of three in the morning in modern times.

Young courtiers are better.

But the old courtiers suffered.

The Son of Heaven can be late and early.

But as a courtier, you still have to go to court at the prescribed time.

"Your Majesty is here."

Just when the ministers were tired and tired.

The eunuch's voice suddenly sounded.

And this also made the ministers quicken their spirits.

I saw Nie Zheng wearing an imperial robe and entering the Longde Hall.

He sat lazily on the dragon chair.

"kneel!"

Zhao Gao took a step forward.

Civil and military officials fell on their knees.

"Shan Hu."

"Long live my emperor."

"Come on again."

"Long live my emperor."

"Come on again."

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

"You Qing family are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The court ceremony is over.

Zhao Gao said again: "If you have something to play, take a step forward."

Brief silence for three breaths.

A minister with a slightly fat body and fair complexion stood up.

This person is no one else.

It is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and Shen!

He Shen bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, Zhu Di, King of Yan, Zhu Quan, King of Ning, Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi, An Lushan, the envoy of Jiedu in Zhendong, and others wrote to the court, asking the court to allocate this year's food and wages."

"According to the statistics of the Ministry of Accounts, 13,200,000 taels of silver need to be allocated, and please ask Your Majesty to cut it."

He Shen just finished speaking.

Minister of War Xing Daorong also stood up.

"Your Majesty, the vassal kings from all over the world have sent their envoys to the court, saying that the horses are scarce, the armaments are aging, and the soldiers do not have cotton-padded jackets for the winter.

After the two ministers started the performance.

Civil and military officials obscurely observe Nie Zheng.

Everyone is very clear.

The treasury is empty.

Where can there be money to give to the vassal kings around the world?

These conundrums now lie before Nie Zheng.

They also wanted to see how His Majesty the Emperor responded.

To know when the emperor was alive.

It's because the annual rations are devastated.

Piecing things together, trying to get everything together.

This is also one of the reasons for the untimely death of the emperor.

on the throne.

Nie Zheng is still lazy.

It's as if he didn't care about these two things.

"Is there still the Qing family's performance?"

Nie Zheng spoke up.

"Your Majesty, this commander has a million-strong army. This year, we need 12,000,000 taels of silver, and please ask Your Majesty to cut it."

Zhao Kuangyin took a step forward and bowed to Nie Zheng.

have to!

Plus the money that Zhao Kuangyin asked for.

A full 30 million taels of silver is needed.

now.

Full of silence.

The eyes of the civil and military officials all fell on Nie Zheng.

Even Lu Zhi, who was inside the bead curtain, turned cold.

Trouble!

This is Chi Guoguo's attack on the Son of Heaven.

As usual in previous years.

These coins are allocated at the end of the year.

But it's only early August.

There are still four months left until the end of the year.

"As far as this palace knows, the annual rations are distributed at the end of the year."

"Why is it four months earlier this year?"

Lu Zhi said coldly.

Nie Zheng helped her fall behind the curtain.

It's not just about Nie Zheng.

It was also aimed at her, Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi naturally couldn't sit idly by.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, it's not that the ministers asked for the money, but the vassal kings from all over the world sent letters to them, and the ministers can only report the truth."

He Shen hurriedly shied the responsibility.

"Marshal Zhao, you have a million-strong army under your command. This palace knows that you have worked hard, but the treasury is temporarily empty. Can you postpone the food payment this year?"

Lu Zhi looked at Zhao Kuangyin.

After all, the two had formed an alliance to deal with Dong Zhuo.

Zhao Kuangyin can give her some thin noodles.

"this……?"

Zhao Kuangyin hesitated.

But also at this moment.

Not waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to make a decision.

Nie Zheng spoke up.

"There is no need to postpone, I will make my own decision."

Whoa!

As Nie Zheng's voice echoed in Longde Hall.

The ministers involuntarily shouted in an uproar.

He even looked at Nie Zheng with a horrified face. *
