In the carriage, Wang Pingchang and Li Jinnian chatted a lot.
From the Xiongnu crisis to the matters of the imperial court.
Li Jinnian criticized the malpractices of the times and accused the Empress of her mistakes in politics. His words were very hard and straightforward, and there was nothing to avoid.
Even vulgarities were added.
Although Wang Pingchang was frightened by what he heard, if these words were to spread, it would definitely shake the entire Da Feng.
However, he felt inexplicably good.
When he heard Li Jin Nian scolding this and that, he even wanted to say," More."
How should he put it?
Li Jin Nian's scolding had already reached his heart.
Each of the six departments was worse than the last.
For example, Yan Zhen and Yan Likuan, father and son, first controlled the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue, which opened the door for them to sell their official positions and take bribes.
The Ministry of Rites wasn't any better.
When Dafeng was just established, the country was prosperous and the Xiongnu did not dare to offend them.
Every year, they had to pay tribute to the Great Sacrifice Horse.
Of course, Da Feng would not mistreat them. He would give them rewards every time, and the total value of the materials given was slightly higher than the horses offered by the Xiongnu.
However, after the previous emperor ascended the throne, the Xiongnu people became stronger and stronger. They unified several tribes and formed a powerful force.
They began to harass Da Feng and became a serious threat to the north of Da Feng.
However, even though they were harassing him, the Xiongnu were still not confident in a direct confrontation.
After all, the painful history of being chased by Great Ancestor Dafeng and fleeing for his life on the grasslands was still fresh in his mind.
Therefore, until the 10 years before the former emperor ascended the throne, the Xiongnu people still followed the old rules and presented horses to Dafeng as subjects every year.
No matter how much the Xiongnu emissaries paid tribute, Dafeng would always return the favor. They would give generous gifts according to the number of heads, and the value of the gifts would slightly exceed the value of the tribute items.
Thus, the rewards from Da Feng became an important source of resources for the Xiongnu.
When His Majesty ascended the throne, the Xiongnu people became bolder and bolder, and their methods became more sophisticated.
In order to obtain more generous rewards, the Xiongnu would send people to bribe the officials of the Ministry of Rites in advance every year when they offered tribute horses to Dafeng.
After the officials of the Ministry of Rites accepted the bribes from the Xiongnu, they would act according to the wishes of the Xiongnu and cheat on the number of people reported.
For example, if 1000 Xiongnu people came this year, the officials of the Ministry of Rites would tell the court that 1500 people had come. Out of the 500 extra rewards, 200 would be given to the Xiongnu people, and the other 300 would go into the pockets of the corrupt officials of the Ministry of Rites.
As time passed, the rewards given to the Xiongnu emissaries became a feast for the Xiongnu people and corrupt officials of the Ministry of Rites to nibble away the wealth of Dafeng.
To the court, this was an unbearable expense.
No wonder the empress wanted to increase taxes. There was really no money left in the national treasury.
She had to think of a way to get money.
However, there was no other good way. He could only have ideas about the common people.
"It is precisely because of His Majesty's fatuous incompetence that the six departments are rotten.”
"In other words, His Majesty is the culprit behind Da Feng's current state!”
When Li Jin Nian scolded the empress, he did not hold back at all.
"Ahem."
Although Wang Pingchang felt that Li Jin Nian was right, he was still very different from Li Jin Nian.
He was a citizen of Dafeng, so he would not dare to be so disrespectful to the empress.
Soon, they arrived at Wang Pingchang's residence.
Compared to the residences of the other ministers, the residence of the cabinet chief assistant, who had the power to rule the court, seemed a little shabby.
It was neither luxurious nor imposing.
It sat quietly in a corner of the Imperial City.
Wang Chang Ping didn't just invite Li Jin Nian. He also invited a few ministers of the Ministry of War and a few generals who held military power.
Without a doubt, these were Wang Chang Ping's trusted aides.
Unlike those corrupt officials who were afraid of death, they all wanted to serve a better and better clean stream.
Wang Chang Ping was very optimistic about Li Jin Nian's plan to form alliances in the court.
Therefore, he took the lead to introduce Li Jin Nian to the ministers of the Ministry of War and a few generals.
After all, if this plan was to succeed, they would definitely need to work together.
These people were all experts, so it wasn't difficult for Li Jin Nian to explain to them.
After hearing this, the generals 'admiration for Li Jin Nian instantly increased.
A mere assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue actually had such a deep understanding of the military. It was really a waste of talent to place such a talent in a place like the Ministry of Revenue.
The Minister of War had already set his sights on him, wanting to transfer him to his side.
It just so happened that there was a vacancy in the position of assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
He planned to ask Wang Pingchang to be his lobbyist.
After everyone finished chatting, Wang Pingchang had wanted to invite everyone to have a meal at his residence, but his old headache came back.
Everyone let him rest first.
When they were about to leave, Li Jin Nian looked at the Minister of War and asked,""Lord Liu, has the chief assistant had a headache for a long time?”
"It's been more than ten years," replied Minister of War Liu Kun."It's easy to get sick when the weather is humid."”
"Do headaches often appear near the temples, the back of the head, and behind the eyes?" Li Jin Nian asked. Sometimes, the pain would spread to the entire head, accompanied by nausea and vomiting.”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Liu Kun nodded repeatedly.
He was actually Wang Pingchang's student. The two of them were as close as father and son, so he knew Wang Pingchang very well.
Now that Li Jin Nian had mentioned the symptoms of his teacher's headache, Liu Kun could not help but feel a glimmer of hope.
Could it be that Li Jin Nian had a way to cure his teacher's headache?
At the same time, the Chinese netizens who were watching the bullet screen had the same thoughts as Liu Kun.
"F * ck, don't tell me that Shen Li is also proficient in medicine.”
"It's hard to say. Not only is Li Shen talented in literature, but he's also quite proficient in military theory. He even knows how to make gunpowder. If you say that he knows medicine, then I believe it.”
"Hahaha, it seems that God Li has to add the word 'doctor' after it.”
The Koreans no longer looked at their own country's players and flooded into China's live broadcast website.
He was waiting for Li Jin Nian to fail.
For example, when they saw this, they had another climax.
"Humph, do you really think that Li Jin Nian is an all-rounder? I don't believe that he is proficient in medicine. If he treats Wang Pingchang, he will most likely kill him.”
"Hahaha, if Wang Pingchang dies, I want to see who can save his life.”
There was no doubt that in the eyes of the Koreans, Wang Pingchang was Li Jinnian's amulet.
If Wang Pingchang hadn't pleaded for mercy in the court, Li Jinnian would have been beheaded by the empress.
Therefore, now that they saw such an opportunity, they were all eager for Li Jin Nian to kill Wang Pingchang.
"Damn, these Koreans are really disgusting.”
Seeing these bullet comments, the Chinese netizens were all angry.
They couldn't be bothered to care about the players from other countries, but this Korean player was jumping around like a clown. It was really disgusting.
Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about it.
The only thing she could do was to look forward to Li Jin Nian shining in Da Feng!
"Li Shenchong, f * ck these guys!”
