Hearing Tang Yin's question, all the ministers present looked at each other, and no one said a word. After a long while, Qi Heng walked out from the ranks of the generals, and asked while cupping his hands: "I wonder which legion the King wishes to send to siege Divine Pool?"
Tang Yin glanced at Qi Heng and asked half-jokingly, "How about we send you to the Ninth Army?"
Qi Heng shrank his neck and did not dare to reply. Asking him to go and fight on the battlefield with the enemy, he would not be afraid even if he had to face the Chiliarch and the tens of thousands of horses. However, if he was asked to surround Divine Pool, even if he was not confident, he was still unwilling.
Seeing that, Tang Yin scoffed and laughed, and said: "Regarding the Divine Pool besieging, it's not up to you, Ninth Army, to decide, I plan to send Pingyuan Army s and Heavenly Eagle Army s over!"
Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying who were standing in the imperial court stepped forward and shouted: "This general will not disgrace the King!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded in satisfaction. This sounded like something a commander of a troop should say!
Seeing the King's dissatisfaction with herself, Qi Heng promptly explained, "This general is not afraid of Divine Pool, it's just that ? There are many mountain ranges in the Divine Pool, which are not suitable for the arrangement of troops in the Ninth Army ? "
Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupting him and looked at the rest of the people, saying: "If there's anything, let's start, if there's nothing else, we can leave the imperial court!"
The moment his words fell, Zhang Xiu hastily stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Great King, it is rare for Elder Huangfu and Elder Jin to come to my Feng Country, I wonder if this humble subject can invite the two elders here!"
Zhang Xiu was the Principal of the Spiritual Martial Academy in the capital city. If he could invite these two Spirit Martial experts to the Spiritual Martial Academy, even if it was just to give them a few pointers, they would definitely benefit greatly from the efforts of the Spiritual Martial Academy's masters and students.
Regarding this matter, Tang Yin would of course not oppose it, but he was also unable to help Huangfu Xiutai and his sister to make decisions. He turned his head to the two of them and asked with a smile, "Elders, what do you two think?"
Huangfu Xiutai secretly thought that it would be troublesome, but just as he was about to reject, Jin Xuan answered first: "Alright! After the assembly is over, Elder Huangfu and I will head over to the Spiritual Martial Academy to learn more about it. "
Hearing that, Zhang Xiu's face was filled with surprise, he bowed to Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan, and anxiously said: Thank you very much, elders.
Huangfu Xiutai shook his head helplessly, and at the same time glanced at Jin Xuan in dissatisfaction.
Zhang Xiu retreated back to his original position in satisfaction. Censors Zhang Zhe then stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the King, the Emperor has already built over a hundred Spiritual Martial Academy, military academies and academies on his Feng Country. The cost of doing so is huge.
"Go!" Tang Yin didn't even think, and immediately said: "Of course we have to continue! This king has already said it, I must let the Spiritual Martial Academy, the Military Academy, and the academy spread throughout the Feng Country first. No matter how much money, manpower, and resources you spend, you must continue to build them for me! " Pausing for a moment, he furrowed his brows and asked, "The silver that we brought back from Andi is so much, it can't be that we can't even build a few mere academies or academies, right?"
Zhang Zhe said in a serious tone: "Recently, disasters have occurred in various parts of the country, and just the amount of money allocated for the relief efforts alone is already countless. Also, there are dozens of Provincial Capital s, county cities themselves, that are sending letters to the imperial government requesting for the expansion of the city, requiring the imperial government to allocate some silver, so ?"
"So, you are going to tell This King that the treasury is empty again?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows. After Feng Country had been swallowed, all of the savings and silver that had been accumulated by Ann Country had fallen into their hands. How could such a large amount of silver be gone the moment Zhenjiang was sent back?
"Indeed, my king. Although the treasury will not be empty, it will no longer be rich." Zhang Zhe spoke the truth.
No matter how much silver was accumulated by the Ann Country, it was still compared to the size of the Ann Country. If the Ann Country's silver was placed in the enormous Feng Country, it would simply be nothing, and if every county and county asked for a little, they wouldn't be able to leave much.
"Everything is fine. Why are all the Provincial Capital s and county cities being expanded? Could it be that my Feng Country is really prosperous to that extent?"
When it came to internal affairs, and then thinking about the complicated relationship of being protected by the officials, being unclear and unclear, Tang Yin felt a headache.
Zhang Zhe did not say anything, neither did Shangguan Yuanji who was in charge of internal affairs. All of the civil officials had their heads lowered, no one said a word.
Tang Yin took a deep breath, rubbed his forehead and said solemnly: "The expansion of the various cities can be suspended, but the construction of the academies and academies cannot be stopped. The expansion of the cities wouldn't have much of an impact on us, but if we lose the source of our talents, our nation would definitely fall."
"Your Majesty is wise, this humble subject understands." Zhang Zhe cupped his hands and responded. He then looked deeply at Shangguan Yuanji and retreated.
Local officials would not be able to find Zhang Zhe for the expansion of the various cities, they could only report it to the imperial government. After the imperial government approved, Zhang Zhe would transfer some silver from the national treasury to the local officials.
And only Right Prime Minister Shangguan Yuanji had the authority to approve this. After approving the expansion of the city gates, the amount of silver involved could only be described as astronomical. Whether or not there was a transaction using money was something that Zhang Zhe doubted. Now that the King had spoken, he no longer needed to worry about this matter.
Cai Gui, who was standing behind, looked at the gloomy Shangguan Yuanji, and then looked at Zhang Zhe, he could not help but shake his head.
He did not know if Shangguan Yuanji had accepted any bribes from the local officials, but he understood Shangguan Yuanji's intentions. The reason why he had suddenly approved for the expansion of the city gates was mainly to increase the records of the local officials, and the current County Head s and county leaders were all managed by the King herself, if they were unable to produce any impressive achievements, the only injuries they would cause would be the King's face and prestige. Shangguan Yuanji was clearly upholding the King and everyone would know it, but Zhang Zhe seemed as if he did not see through it.
Seeing that Zhang Zhe had retreated, Tang Yin asked again: "Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, you can withdraw! "
"Since this humble subject has nothing to say, this humble subject shall take his leave!" All the ministers present cupped their hands and saluted in unison before retreating from the imperial court.2
When Shangguan Yuanji was about to leave, Tang Yin raised his hand and called out to him. "Yuanji!"
"Great King!" Shangguan Yuanji anxiously stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin shook his head at him, and then walked out from the side door of the hall. Shangguan Yuanji quickly followed as he walked behind Tang Yin. After exiting the hall, they arrived at the small garden behind the hall. Tang Yin slowed down his footsteps, allowed Shangguan Yuanji to walk shoulder to shoulder with him, and asked: "What exactly happened? Is it necessary? "
"It's necessary." Shangguan Yuanji answered straightforwardly.
"Tell me what's the matter." Tang Yin frowned and asked.
"Currently, the officials of the various counties and counties in our country are all newly appointed officials, and the King has even personally selected them. Whether or not they can achieve political results is of utmost importance to the King's prestige, and to achieve decent political results in a place full of holes is definitely not something that can be done in a year, two to four years. As long as the cities flourished, they would have a good political record. The king would have a higher reputation, and the citizens would support the king even more. Great King, this huge territory of our country has been conquered by battles of the north and the south. What is missing the most is cohesion. Only by establishing the prestige of a great king can the citizens of the country be convinced and not resist. " Shangguan Yuanji said faintly.
Oh! So that's how it was! Hearing that, Tang Yin suddenly realised that it was no wonder that the normally stable Shangguan Yuanji would suddenly approve of the expansion of so many town.
He shook his head and laughed: "It seems like Zhang Zhe has misunderstood you. Looking at his appearance in the imperial court, he seems to be suspecting that you have secretly accepted bribes from the local officials."
Shangguan Yuanji laughed indifferently, and said: "It's normal for this to happen, since this official has too much authority, it is easy to arouse suspicion. Moreover, Master Zhang is a Censors, so you have to be vigilant and suspicious of all the officials in the imperial court, this subject thinks that what Master Zhang did was right and it is also true."
Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuanji with mixed feelings. It was not easy to be the king and it was similarly not easy to be the Right Prime Minister. As the leader of the officials, Tang Yin was basically being targeted by everyone.
He patted Shangguan Yuanji's shoulders and changed the subject. "Wait a moment, come with me to the Imperial Palace. This Son of Heaven's edict is not easy to write.
Shangguan Yuanji laughed, nodded and sighed: "It is indeed not easy to write." Even if it was the Son of Heaven's edict, wanting the people of the world to believe in Guang Xuanling's crimes, was not an easy matter.
"Right, there's one more thing." Tang Yin pulled Shangguan Yuanji and entered the pavilion, and just as he sat down, he seemed to have thought of something and said: "It's too cold here, let's go into the study room and have a seat."
His cultivation was deep, and he was not afraid of the cold, he was afraid that Shangguan Yuanji would not be able to take him down.
was deeply moved by the King's considerate gesture. She cupped her hands towards Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, this subject is fine here ?"
"Let's go!" Tang Yin pulled Shangguan Yuanji along and walked towards the study room.
After entering the study room, the two of them sat down and Tang Yin took out a stack of papers from his sleeves. The contents of the papers were densely packed with words, he patted them with his hands and then handed them over to Shangguan Yuanji: "This is the national policy that I plan to implement. It has not been written properly, Yuanji, take a look first."
"Oh?" Shangguan Yuanji's interest was immediately piqued. He had been supporting Tang Yin for a long time, and he knew that when he, the great king, had formulated national policies, they would definitely be strange things like him insisting on promoting the academy and the academy.
After Shangguan Yuanji received it, he focused and looked at it, and immediately put it back down, and revealed a dry smile: "This humble subject ? "I don't understand."
"You don't understand what I mean, right? Actually, you can understand it as well. After all ?"
"Uh, no, Great King, this humble subject is unable to understand your words, it's really ?" It's really too sloppy. "
Even Ah San, who was serving Tang Yin day and night, could not understand it at all. Shangguan Yuanji, even more so, did not understand what he wrote, if he were to identify it word by word, he would definitely be tired of being blind.
