    "I don't have any appetite, so just withdraw."

    As time went by, Chu Yu felt more and more that Shen Ye's words had deep meaning when he left.

    Fortunately, there was no news that night.

    It seems that Song Qinghuan's side is going well.

    But at this time, the previous dynasty was not so smooth.

    It was rare for Chu Chen to go to court early last time, Long Yan was solemn, but the eyes under the Twelve Jade Crown were black.

    The whole person is vain, and it seems that the spirit is slightly sluggish.

    "Border riots, you have come up with a solution for me!"

    Chu Chen's chest heaved violently, and he couldn't help clenching his fists and coughing a few times in a low voice.

    "Wei Chen thought we could send envoys first, and then"

    Before the Minister of Rites had finished speaking, he was hit in the head by the memorial that Chu Chen had thrown down.

    "The enemy country is constantly harassing me. You told me to send envoys. When did I become so aggrieved?"

    If it weren't for him being old and frail now, and he couldn't stand the toss, he would have killed the army long ago.

    Do you still need to discuss with these civil servants?

    All the ministers bowed their heads and dared not reply, and the current Daliang is no longer what it used to be.

    Years of taxation, the treasury is still empty, and the bureaucracy is complicated, which is another huge expense.

    Can't fight at all.

    "Report, 800 miles urgent, battle report ahead."

    The post soldiers ran away with three horses, and then the battle report was delivered to Shengjing as quickly as possible.

    Laifu carefully presented the battle report, and occasionally glanced at Chu Chen's face.

    With a snap, Chu Chen directly slapped the battle report on the desk, causing the courtiers below to shiver.

    "Let the Ministry of War allocate food and grass first, and the speed is faster!"

    Cheng Liben, the minister of military affairs who was named, came out immediately and looked at Li Changhe quickly.

    "The minister leads the order."

    After Chu Chen issued this edict, he returned to the alchemy pavilion, with the attitude of leaving all state affairs to the first assistant.

    The ministers of the previous dynasty were indeed headed by Li Changhe.

    "The national treasury can't take out such a large amount of food, grass and military salaries now."

    The Minister of the Household called a bunch of people to plan the plan, but after all the calculations, the account became more and more chaotic.

    Even the treasury was empty of money on the books.

    Wang Lang held the ledger, trembling with fear, and quickly glanced at Li Changhe's expression.

    Da Liang's tax is rising every year, but the national treasury is empty every year, making it impossible to make ends meet.

    The tricky Wang Lang here is clear.

    It's just that he didn't dare to be the master of such a big thing, so he could only ask Li Changhe for instructions.

    After taking the ledger, Li Changhe glanced at the numbers circled with a red pen at the end of his eyes, his expression as usual.

    As if that astronomical number was nothing more than a few taels of silver to him.

    "Sir Shen, what's your opinion?"

    These days, Shen Ye entered the cabinet and was personally recommended by Li Changhe.

    And Li Changhe really reused him, and he would ask his opinion first in state affairs.

    Seeing that all the ministers were very jealous.

    "Shoufu-sama must know better than me the truth that lips die and teeth are cold."

    He expected that the account deficit of the Ministry of Accounts would be huge, but Li Changhe would not complete this account alone.

    "Indeed, now that Daliang is in trouble, as a minister, you should share your majesty's worries."

    Li Changhe glanced around at the ministers who were hanging their heads, and raised his tone a little.

    "You say yes, gentlemen."

    This money is to be used to fill the army's salaries. Although the Li family can get it, it is impossible for the Li family to pay for it.

    All of you here are counted as one, and which one has not taken any benefit from him.

    Now want to pat butt and leave, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

    "You should follow the lead of the first assistant."

    Who dares to refute Li Changhe's face?

    Even if they were asked to spit out the fat they ate in their stomachs, they would not dare to complain.

    What's more, if the border really can't be kept, it's useless for them to keep these gold and silver treasures.

    After everyone left, Li Changhe stopped Wang Lang again and whispered a few words.

    "This, this will delay the military plane."

    This matter is a serious matter, even if he has ten courage, he would not dare to delay the transportation time of grain and grass.

    "Then Lord Wang, you should think about the ledger."

    Patting his shoulder, Li Changhe smiled as if he was sure he would agree.

    Seeing that His Majesty's health is deteriorating, the matter of establishing a reserve is imminent.

    If all obstacles can be cleared, Chu Yan's position will be stable, and their Li family will naturally stand firm.

    But Chu Ang was His Majesty's direct son, and his status was different from other concubines, and he was also the most powerful candidate for the prince.

    So, if you want to blame him, you can only blame him for blocking Chu Yan's way.

    Wang Lang's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. If His Majesty knew about the ledger, it would be a big crime for the nine clans.

    But if the military plane is delayed, he, the Minister of the Ministry of Household, can be considered to have done it.

    "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe in your old age, and your descendants will have a prosperous career."

    People in the world can't ask for money and power, and they are tempted by this.

    Sure enough, after weighing the pros and cons, Wang Lang chose to stand on Li Changhe's side.

    If someone else made such a promise, he would not believe it, but this person is Li Changhe, who is powerful enough to make him take this risk.

    For several days, Wang Lang was under tremendous pressure and used every available reason to delay the transportation of food and grass.

    Fortunately, His Majesty has not shown his face since that day, and political affairs are all dictated by Fudai.

    This didn't make Wang Lang's blood pressure soar to the highest.

    But after Chu Yu heard the news, every time he went to court, he would block the door of Tai Chi Hall.

    Wang Lang was able to prevaricate more than others, but he really had no choice for Chu Yu's aggressive questioning.

    Every time it was either urinating or saying that he was sick, he had to go back to the house to take medicine. This time, he really had no reason.

    "I also looked at the account book made by your Ministry of Household, and the account book is very clean and there is a surplus. Why is it different from what Mr. Wang said a few days ago?"

    It was because it was so clean that Chu Yu became suspicious.

    As soon as checked, there was a problem.

    The amount and ledger circulating in the market are simply not worth it, and they even lost a lot of money.

    Where the money went, I am afraid Wang Lang knows best.

    "This ledger was made by the people below, and Wei Chen also made a mistake at this time."

    Wang Lang smiled apologetically, knowing that Princess Qinghua was so difficult to deal with, he should have called him sick and took leave.

    "I'm wrong? If Mr. Wang has a bad memory, then the minister of the household should just stop doing it, abdicate early and let the sages."

    Every time do Tai Chi with her, do you really think she has a good temper?

    "Bengong will give you the last day. If you can't raise food and grass, I will send you to the border to fight the enemy."

    Without food and grass, the three emperors won't be able to last for long.

    But every time she went to Tai Chi Hall to meet her father, she would be stopped by Lai Fu.

    Without exception.
