"The Empress Dowager sent me here to give you an ultimatum!”
Yang Yueyao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said something shocking!
"If you continue to 'run amok' in the court, you will be completely opposing her!”
"During this period of time, the reason why you have been so successful in court and can do whatever you want is all because of her helping you from behind.”
"If we fall out, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending…"
Yan Luo wasn't surprised when he heard that. Instead, he smiled nonchalantly.
"These words should have come from the Empress Dowager, right?”
Yang Yueyao nodded solemnly.
Seeing Yan Luo's calm expression, she became a little anxious.
"Bad guy, don't underestimate my mother's power!”
"Although I don't know all the forces under her command, they are definitely unfathomable!”
"You must not fall out with Imperial Mother…"
Seeing Yang Yueyao's worried expression, Yan Luo felt like teasing her.
"If I become enemies with your mother, what will you do?”
Yan Luo stared at Yang Yueyao's expression with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"I…"
"I'm telling the truth, and you're still in the mood to joke!”
Yang Yueyao looked conflicted, angry and anxious.
"Your Imperial Mother is unfathomable. Could it be that I am a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will?”
Yan Luo's tone was calm, but it carried incomparable confidence.
"You don't have to worry about my matters.”
"If you have free time, you should worry about your mother.”
"You should pray for her. Don't become my enemy, or it will be her nightmare.”
Yang Yueyao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a bitter smile.
She felt that Yan Luo's power had grown so much recently that he had become arrogant!
In her opinion, although Yan Luo could call the shots in the court, he was not arrogant enough!
At the very least, there were still some true big shots in the Great Gan Empire who had yet to appear.
At present, the ministers in the court did not have much weight.
It was normal to be oppressed by the prime minister, Yan Luo.
"No matter what, I won't let the two of you become mortal enemies…"
Yang Yueyao sighed helplessly.
"Actually, I've already thought of a way.”
Hearing this, Yan Luo's interest was piqued.
"Oh? Tell me, what method is it?"
Yang Yueyao pondered and said,
"Let's work together and gradually weaken mother's power!”
"In this way, she can be at ease and manage the affairs of the harem without any other thoughts.”
Yan Luo laughed when he heard that.
The empress dowager still didn't know that her eldest daughter had sold her out just like that, right?
If he knew the truth, his face would turn green with anger!
She had painstakingly raised her eldest daughter for more than 20 years, but she had only been in contact with a man for a few days, and she was completely siding with an outsider!
"You're sensible."
"I should reward you."
Yan Luo nodded in satisfaction and praised.
Yang Yueyao could tell that something was wrong. A blush appeared on her face and spread to her ears.
Whether it was a reward or a punishment, it was really hard to say!
……
After Yang Yueyao left.
Yan Luo pondered.
He had already investigated the empress dowager's power, so he naturally understood her power.
The other party had been operating for so long, it was enough to see how ambitious he was!
"It would be best if you could be the empress dowager and enjoy life.”
"If you are stubborn and want to get your hands on the imperial power, don't blame me for being ruthless.”
Yan Luo's eyes flickered.
Perhaps, he would spare the Empress Dowager's life for Yang Yueyao's sake.
However, the other party's outcome might not be very good!
On the second day.
Xuanzheng Hall court meeting.
The civil and military officials were all gathered, and Emperor Qian had also arrived early.
Seeing this, Yan Luo did not hesitate and directly suggested,"
"Your Majesty, I plan to use the funds and materials from the national treasury to improve the quality of weapons and strengthen the army.”
Emperor Qian's eyes flickered and he asked,"
"Oh? This move was feasible. The Prime Minister could discuss it with the Minister of War.”
Yan Luo shook his head." I plan to cooperate with a big force in Jianghu. There's no need for the Ministry of War to interfere."”
As soon as he said this, the faces of all the officials in the court changed!
What was this prime minister trying to do?
Without the Ministry of War's participation, who would know the exact whereabouts of those resources?
The people from the Bureau of Military Personnel all had ugly expressions on their faces.
Was he looking down on the Bureau of Military Personnel?
Minister of War Wu Linfeng couldn't sit still and said with a hint of dissatisfaction,
"Prime Minister, could it be that there's some power in the pugilistic world that is better at forging weapons than us?”
"Yes, there is." Yan Luo replied indifferently.”
Wu Linfeng's expression froze. He didn't expect the other party to be so merciless!
Emperor Qian knew that Yan Luo wouldn't speak without thinking, so he asked patiently,"
"Prime Minister, what kind of power are you planning to cooperate with?”
"How much money and materials do you plan to use?”
Yan Luo gave a specific number.
" Five million taels of silver, as well as metal materials and so on…"
"I plan to invest this much for the time being.”
Hearing this number, everyone felt that it was an astronomical figure!
In an era where there were not many wars, the annual military expenditure was probably only this much.
But now, it was only used to forge weapons!
It would consume a year's worth of military expenditure?
The ministers shook their heads repeatedly!
"Prime Minister, this is too much!"
"You can't ask for too much, right?”
"Spending so much money and resources to forge weapons?”
"Our Da Qian doesn't seem to be that lacking in weapons!”
"Hehe, I'm afraid the so-called improvement of weapon quality is just an excuse!”
"Even if it's really to strengthen the army, it probably has ulterior motives!”
"How long has it been since the new emperor ascended the throne? It's definitely not a good thing to be so militaristic…"
All the civil and military officials in the court whispered.
Although he did not dare to say it out loud, the expression on his face was enough to explain everything.
Many ministers thought that the prime minister was either finding an excuse to take the huge sum of money!
Or they could use it to nurture the strength of their subordinates!
Otherwise, it didn't make sense at all!
Firstly, the Great Gan Empire's current situation clearly did not require such a large amount of military expenditure.
Secondly, why was the Prime Minister so adamant about not cooperating with the Bureau of Military Personnel?
Emperor Qian couldn't help but frown.
Even though she no longer doubted Yan Luo's loyalty to Da Qian.
However, such a move was clearly difficult to convince the public!
Even if she insisted on standing on Yan Luo's side, she would not be able to withstand the criticism of the entire court!
At this moment.
"The Duke of Chen has arrived!" a eunuch shouted outside the door.”
When everyone heard that, they could not help but be shocked!
"Why is Duke Chen here?"
This big shot's background was not small!
He was a Conferred Duke, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and an Imperial Uncle of Emperor Qian!
No matter which identity it was, it was enough to make all the civil and military officials in the court respect it!
A spirited old man strode over.
With the majesty of the royal family, his gaze was as sharp as an eagle's!
"Greetings, Your Majesty. I'm a step late. Please forgive me.”
Duke Chen bowed lightly.
"There's no need to be so polite."
"Why didn't you inform us beforehand when you suddenly went to court today?”
Emperor Qian was puzzled.
"If this old minister still doesn't come, I'm afraid the court will be in complete chaos.”
Duke Chen grunted.
As soon as he finished speaking, his sharp gaze turned to Yan Luo.
"The prime minister really dares to ask for so much money and materials at once.”
"You still don't want the Bureau of Military Personnel to interfere? Is the Prime Minister planning to use it to train his own soldiers?!”
