"The empress who transmigrated to another world and assisted her is a fatuous ruler. It wasn't easy for her to get an official position, but she wants to go down in history with her?”In the imperial court, Mu Yu's face darkened.
After transmigrating.
Being born in poverty, studying was the only way out. Mu Yu finally got an official position and made a name for himself. Unexpectedly, after meeting a female Daoist, the empress's temperament changed drastically. She ignored the state affairs and was passionate about cultivation every day. She ignored the people of the world and was extremely confused...
Today, there was another morning meeting in the court.
"Your Majesty, the northwest suffers from severe droughts every year. The people are suffering from famine and are in dire straits.”The Minister of Revenue reported.
"The national treasury is empty." The empress, who was sitting on the throne of the imperial court, said nonchalantly,"According to previous years, let the local gentry contribute money and handle it themselves.”
Seeing the Emperor's nonchalant attitude, the officials of the imperial court all sighed in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this. The local gentry have been injured and their families have been destroyed in the past few years. If you continue to do this, there will be a change in the northwest and countless victims will starve to death.”Governor Yang, who had rushed over from the northwest, quickly went forward and cried, kneeling on the ground."Your Majesty, please consider the people of the world.”
"Your Majesty, please reconsider." The chief assistant of the court, the chief assistant of the king, also spoke.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider." Wei Ge, who was in charge of the West Hall of the Six Fan School, also stepped forward. Although he was pure, his literary talent and martial arts strategy were world-shaking. His status in the court was equivalent to that of the chief assistant of a generation. He was the leader of a faction in the court.
In the imperial court, the empress, whose dignity had been provoked, stared at the three of them for a moment and said,"The national treasury will allocate 500,000 taels of silver. Governor Yang will be in charge of disaster relief, and Vice Governor Xu will assist!”
Governor Yang was stunned, then he quickly lowered his head,""Your Majesty, 500,000 taels of silver is not enough.”
That was the entire northwest.
"Then I will give you the entire treasury?”Impatience flashed in the empress's eyes.
" Emperor Ling." The Minister of Revenue braced himself and stepped forward." The national treasury is empty. The drought in the northwest has been depleting for many years. The harvests of all parts of the country have been affected, and taxes have been reduced. In addition, there have been many years of war…Your Majesty, you can't do something like pulling out the entire national treasury. Even if you pull it all out, it won't be enough.”
The officials were silent.
The empress, who was sitting on the throne, raised her eyebrows. After a moment, she said,"Zhen remembers that there were still over a million taels of silver.”
"Your Majesty, it's all spent. The expenses of a country are very high.”The Minister of Revenue said. There was a sentence that he did not dare to say. It had been used quite a lot by your alchemy cultivation.
"Your Majesty, I want to investigate Minister Qin of the Ministry of Revenue. His management was not good, causing the national treasury to be empty. One million taels were spent in a short period of time, and the accounts are not clear.”
"Your Majesty, this subject has been wronged."
"We'll discuss this later." A hint of impatience flashed across the empress's eyes."Minister Qin, do you have any ideas?"
"This subject's thoughts are that the national treasury is tight, so it's best not to pull it out. 200,000 taels is far from enough.”
All the officials in the court looked coldly at this fellow. This fellow was not a son, and he was throwing the blame on them?
"Do you have any ideas?" the empress asked.
No one spoke. Even the powerful Wei Ge remained silent.
"Minister Yu." The empress coldly called out.
" Your Majesty, the national treasury is empty, and natural disasters are hard to predict…" The Minister of Works braced himself and came out. He was in charge of the country's water conservancy, so he could not escape responsibility for this.
"The Minister of Works will be fined three months of salary. Governor Yang will lead the disaster relief, and Minister Yu will assist him.”At this point, the empress's cold gaze landed on Governor Yang.
Tears flashed in Yang Buzheng's eyes, but he did not dare to say anything more.
The disaster in the northwest has been going on for years. His Majesty is disregarding the people. I wonder how many people will die in the northwest this year and how many will be left next year.
"Your Majesty, I accept your decree."
None of the lords said anything more about this matter.
At this moment.
"You fatuous ruler." An angry and cold voice was heard.
The entire court fell silent.
The head of the officials, Wang Shoufu, and the powerful Wei Ge also turned their heads. The hearts of the civil and military officials all beat wildly, and some of them could not help but kneel on the spot, not daring to look up at the Emperor's expression. Only Wei Ge, Wang Shoufu, and the others did not kneel.
For many years, this had been the truth in the hearts of all the officials, but no one dared to say it out loud.
On the seat of Hall Master Chao, the empress narrowed her eyes.
Those who were familiar with her knew that her head would soon roll to the ground.
"Every year, he indulges in cultivation and doesn't care about the people of the world. He plays politics and controls the core.”The current fourth-grade official, the Imperial Academy's scholar Mu Yu, who had just entered the court last year, scolded the fatuous ruler with a cold expression."In the past, it was fine for His Majesty to cultivate, and Lord Wei, the king's chief assistant, could still support the world. Now, the northwest is plagued by disasters every year, and who knows how many people will die? You, a fatuous ruler, don't care about it and are addicted to cultivating. How many families would be broken? Did he know that the corpses of the common people would pile up into a mountain? How could he bear it? In the future, if this continued, wouldn't His Majesty be afraid of going down in history books for ten thousand years? Your Majesty is thick-skinned, but there is no need to be afraid. We, who are officials, will also be labeled as incompetent and smelly for ten thousand years in the history books. If I had known that Your Majesty was a fatuous ruler, it would have been fine if I had not been an official. How could a fatuous ruler be worthy of the loyalty of a proper official?”
The corners of the ministers 'mouths twitched.
The empress's vision turned black.
Not afraid of being thick-skinned? Leave a bad name for ten thousand years? A fatuous ruler just opened his mouth?
……
Mu Yu's scolding was sincere.
There were many talented people in the court, and even the chief assistant of the Wei Pavilion King had the talent to govern the world. However, because of the Emperor, he was trapped in the court and his main energy was involved in the political struggles in the court. Even for them, they had to protect their status first. Only their subordinates could do something for the world.
The energy of the two great talents of governing the world had all been taken up by the factions that the empress's 'Art of Emperor'.
Even so, while the two of them fought against each other and the other factions, they could also spare some energy to help govern the world, barely maintaining the stability of the dynasty.
This was supposed to be a prosperous era, but because of the fatuous ruler, the people became miserable.
He took off his black gauze hat and threw it on the court. He turned around and left."Your life is here. If you want to take it, then take it. If you don't, then I'll leave.”
Everyone in the court fell silent.
This fellow was so bold.
She kept calling him a fatuous ruler, scolding him without stopping.
How audacious, bullying his subordinates and offending his superiors.
It was simply enough to kill a thousand knives.
However, he had the intention to kill the emperor.
This was loyalty.
Moreover, what Mu Yu said about having a bad reputation for ten thousand years might really be true. Although the current Emperor could change the history books, justice was in the hearts of the people. Merits and demerits would be judged by future generations.
Now that he had changed it, he could not change the rumors. If this continued, he would really be notorious for ten thousand years.
He just didn't know if His Majesty would listen.
As long as the current Emperor did not change his mind about cultivation, he was destined to be a fatuous ruler.
If she went in, there would at least be hope for the current decadent dynasty. Then, the name of this rank four official would be recorded in the history books.
Of course, no official dared to take up this topic of remonstrance. If they did, their heads would roll and their entire family would be buried. Everything would be over.
"You traitor, you offended your superiors and offended the heavens. You still want to leave? I'll let your blood stain the Meridian Gate.”One of the generals shouted and strode forward, wanting to kill Mu Yu with a single strike.
Mu Yu was already prepared to lose his life.
This court made his heart turn cold.
Fortunately, he had just awakened the Peerless Dynasty Cultivation System not long ago and obtained the initial reward of being resurrected from the dead. Unfortunately, the Empress of this dynasty was a fatuous ruler and was not worthy of the system's assistance. Mu Yu did not want to help her either, so dying here was a good way to escape...
Mu Yu was about to be killed by a palm strike.
A cold voice came from Hall Master Chao's seat,""Stop!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The general sighed in his heart. He was still too slow. If His Majesty were to punish him, a thousand cuts would be a light punishment.
He turned his knife to capture the weak scholar Mu Yu.
