1071. Chapter 1071 Account Book
What does the Queen Mother want to see her for? Ye Zhen didn't want to see the Queen Mother at all. She was afraid that she would not be able to control her anger. When she betrayed Mo Rongzhan and had no regrets about hurting him, her previous friendship with the Queen Mother was gone.
"Why does the Queen Mother want to see me? I went to see her. I am resting and have no time to see her." Ye Zhen said lightly. In the past, she would take the Queen Mother's identity into consideration and endure it. Now what else can the Queen Mother deserve to deserve her wrongdoing? of?
The expressions on other people's faces were as usual. No one thought there was anything wrong with the Queen's behavior. If the Queen Mother did something like that, we couldn't expect the Emperor and Queen to be as filial to her as before.
Cining Palace has been under guard for a long time, and the people who serve it have been replaced a long time ago. No matter how the Queen Mother calls her in the palace, it is useless. If the Queen Mother says she does not want to see her, then no one will dare to risk her life to call her.
The saying "winner becomes king and loser" is always cruel.
Since the Queen Mother dared to do such a thing behind the Emperor's back, she should think of the consequences.
Morong Zhan was discussing matters with the ministers in the study. The first and most important thing was to release the ministers who were still in prison. As for how to deal with the Queen Mother, these were the decisions of the emperor and had nothing to do with the ministers of the DPRK.
After all, the Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, and what the Queen Mother did this time is indeed not worthy of anyone's pleading. Even the young prince didn't mention it at all, so who would bother to seek disapproval from the Emperor.
One of the cabinet ministers, Wang Weiyuan, was also arrested on charges of treason. Another minister, Zheng Cheng, was also dismissed on the spot. Ruan Jinghua was entrusted by Mr. Xu to get closer to the Queen Mother. After Mr. Xu revealed the reason, Mo Rongzhan allowed him to stay. in the cabinet.
"...I have ordered General Ye to go to Xiliang to help Xiliang drive out Wan Ziliang of Beiming Kingdom. Although the war in the wasteland has subsided, it is now a difficult time for Jin Kingdom. I hope that all the ministers can help me. , Let Jin Kingdom become a truly great country." Mo Rongzhan looked at the ministers standing in the imperial study room, his eyes were bright and calm, and his handsome face showed an impressive domineering attitude.
"I am willing to follow the emperor and help the emperor establish his hegemony!" Mr. Xu took the lead and knelt down and shouted loudly.
Looking at the domineering emperor, who seemed to hold the world in his hands, a wave of enthusiasm surged in everyone's hearts, especially Mo Rongyi, who looked at Mo Rongzhan excitedly, the admiration and admiration in his eyes clear.
Murong Zhan smiled slightly and immediately asked Mr. Xu to summon the ministers of the Sixth Pavilion. He still had many things to give instructions.
Murong Ke has been watching from the side. He knows that Murong Zhan has lost his memory, but at this moment, Murong Zhan does not look like someone who has lost his memory. He is really a born emperor.
Mo Rongzhan stayed in the imperial study until dark. He had been away for too long and there were too many things in Kyoto that had not been dealt with. Fortunately, he could understand the cause and effect of many things almost at a glance, and his memory seemed to suddenly open a door. I almost remembered everything about the government affairs, but I couldn't remember the past between him and Ye Zhen.
As he remembered more and more political affairs, Mo Rongzhan was a little lost behind the desk. He was trying to recall his memories with Ye Zhen. The more he thought about it, the more headache he got, but he still couldn't remember anything.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Ruan Jinghua finished explaining the treasury situation presented by the Ministry of Revenue and was waiting for Mo Rongzhan to ask questions. However, he waited for a long time and didn't wait. When he looked up, he saw that their Majesty seemed to be in a fugue.
Mo Rongzhan came back to his senses and nodded gently, "The national inventory has dropped sharply. We need to find ways to make up for it. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other. This was a difficult problem for everyone. During the war, besides increasing taxes, what other way could we fill the national treasury as quickly as possible?
Huang Chan said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, we were tax-free for the past two years. If the taxes are increased now..."
Before other ministers could raise objections, Morong Zhan had already shaken his head and objected, "No, we cannot increase the taxes on the people. Their children have already gone to the battlefield. We cannot make it difficult for them to live anymore."
If taxes are increased, it will undoubtedly make the lives of the people of Jin Kingdom worse. Murong Zhan does not want his people to live a life of displacement just for the sake of fighting.
But if you don't do this, what else can you do?
Everyone started talking in low voices. Murong Zhan listened to them silently, his eyebrows furrowing more and more tightly because he didn't hear a feasible solution. He wanted to turn his eyes to Murong Ke.
"Your Majesty, don't look at me. I am not familiar with government affairs. I... don't do business, and my bank is very poor." Murong Ke said immediately.
Mo Rongzhan smiled and scolded, "Who wants money from you?"
"Brother Emperor, I think there is a way..." Mo Rongyi mustered up the courage to speak.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at him doubtfully.
"Ayi, what can you do?" Murong Zhan asked gently.
Merongyi was very nervous. After what happened today, he always felt that everyone in the world would look down on him, but he didn't want to just become an idle prince. He wanted to help his brother.
"Brother Imperial, when I was supervising the country, I accidentally saw a stack of account books in the warehouse. On them were all the IOUs that some of the royal family ministers in the court had borrowed money from the treasury when the late emperor was still alive. If we can recover all those loans, , the treasury will be full." Mo Rongyi whispered, he didn't know if he was right or not, and after speaking, he looked at Mo Rongzhan cautiously.
The imperial study room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him with wide eyes.
"..." Did he say it wrong again? This idea was actually childish and ridiculous. Mo Rongyi was a little embarrassed. He wouldn't have spoken if he had known it. How embarrassing it was to say it.
Murong Zhan laughed loudly, "Okay! Okay! This is a good idea! Ayi, you are really my good brother."
The others all laughed together, and were a little surprised at the same time. They had been in the court for so long, and they didn't even know that there were such account books in the treasury. The young prince looked like a playful boy, but he was so careful.
"Brother Imperial, is this method advisable?" Mo Rongyi was praised in public, with a big smile on his face.
Morong Zhan smiled and said, "Why not? Ford, go and get the account book that the young prince said."
"I'll get it, I know where to put it." Merongyi said immediately.
"Okay." Mo Rongzhan nodded.
Merongyi immediately happily went to get the account book.
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "The young prince seems to be undisciplined, but in fact he is careful."
"You can teach him more in the future." Mo Rongzhan said with a faint smile.
This statement is too obvious. The emperor does not blame the young prince for almost taking the throne. It seems that he plans to reuse the young prince.
If it hadn't been for the Queen Mother, the young prince would not have been forced to wear the dragon robe today, and the emperor knew it well, so he did not have a grudge against the young prince.
