Chapter 253 Being an Emperor Is Tiring

The three siblings of the Mu family arrived at the Great Yong Imperial City before Langya.

After receiving the news, Yan Qing said calmly: "They are a few days later than I expected."

"Maybe we need to make some preparations."

"What preparations?"

"The Mu family is coming with great momentum this time." Wen Jin smiled and handed Yan Qing a memorial, "and the battle is extremely grand."

"Come with great momentum?" Yan Qing glanced at him, then opened the memorial to review, "Why?"

Wen Jin said: "Not only the three siblings of the Mu family came, but also brought a large number of guards and assassins."

Yan Qing's heart moved slightly, thinking of the Mu family assassins that he had discussed with Wen Jin in Suzaku City before, "Are all the three brothers of the Mu family here?"

"No." Wen Jin shook his head, "The eldest brother Mu Dongming and the third brother Mu Donghua, as well as their sister Mu Dongli, came."

"The battle is huge, and they also brought a large number of assassins..." Yan Qing After a moment of contemplation, he smiled faintly, obviously guessing the reason, "How much silver are they going to offer?"

"Your Majesty is worthy of you, you guessed the truth at once."

Yan Qing sneered: "They brought such a large number of death warriors and guards, it's impossible to assassinate me?"

"It is said that it is three million taels of silver." Wen Jin's voice was soft, "These three million taels of silver are just gifts to celebrate your Majesty's accession to the throne. In three months, the tax silver of the Mu family should also be paid to the treasury, and then it will be a considerable income."

The brothers and sisters of the Mu family came to Beijing to pay homage to His Majesty, and it was impossible to bring a stack of silver bills, and three million taels of silver needed time to prepare. Even if the Mu family was extremely rich, it was impossible to store so much cash at home, and it took enough time to dispatch.

With so much silver, it is inevitable that it is conspicuous on the road, and it is easy to be targeted by bandits. Enough people need to be arranged to escort, so they came a few days late.

Yan Qing put down the red pen in his hand, "The royal family has not been peaceful in the past two years, and the treasury is not abundant. This year, I will arrange more reliable people to watch the autumn tax. I don't want to see that little tax silver being deducted by corrupt officials and fattening their own pockets."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty."

"Taxes are taken from the people and used for the people." Yan Qing pondered, "In addition to allocating a part for military pay and military equipment supplies, this year pay more attention to the autumn harvest in various places, and make sure that the people have surplus food to prevent famine caused by rain and snow in autumn and winter."

"Yes."

"Are the brothers and sisters of the Mu family still outside the city gate?"

"Yes." Wen Jin nodded, "Without the imperial decree of Your Majesty, they can only wait outside first, and no one dares to let them in without authorization."

Especially with such a large number of people, the battle was so large that not only the imperial guards of the imperial city were alarmed, but even the officials in the court received the news.

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows: "You can't make the decision either?"

Wen Jin replied: "I can make the decision, but I dare not make the decision on my own."

Yan Qing tilted his head and glanced at him. Wen Jin looked calm and elegant, humble and frank.

"Let Shen Mo take people over." Yan Qing quickly ordered, "Since they are sending silver, they must be treated well."

Wen Jin nodded: "The taxes paid by several major merchants headed by the Mu family every year are the bulk of the national treasury, but the premise is that they do not falsify and deceive the court."

"With you here, these are all problems that do not need to be worried about."

Wen Jin was silent for a while, and his tone was particularly sincere: "It is a good thing that your majesty trusts me so much. I should be happy, but if you trust me too much, I will also feel pressured."

Yan Qing raised his eyes and looked at him strangely.

Wen Jin bowed: "I will arrange it now."

Yan Qing stared at his back without saying a word, sighed lightly, put down the red pen, held the teacup and leaned back in the chair to drink tea.

Being an emperor is actually quite tiring, especially if you want to be a good emperor. You have to deal with endless government affairs and review endless memorials every day.

The world is so big and the territory is vast. You have to think about everything carefully. Corrupt officials must be dealt with, the livelihood of the people must be taken care of, the power of the vassal kings must be curbed, and the deployment of border troops is the top priority.

In this short month, she has done more than she did in the previous six months.

Yan Qing sighed. If she really wants to live a long life and grow old together, she must not cling to the throne for too long, otherwise she and Wen Jin will probably die young.
