Chapter 377: Court Turbulence (I)
The sun shines on the corona of the palace square, and the shadow reaches the center directly. The guards at the door lift up the huge animal horn and blow it hard. With a deafening sound, the court meeting officially begins.
An old man with dragon horns on his head began to sing the ceremony, and the ministers knelt down. Two maids lifted a huge screen and placed it in front of the dragon chair. A pretty shadow came and sat on the dragon chair, and the majestic voice resounded throughout the hall!
"Stand up!"
As the ministers stood up, the old man with dragon horns followed the procedure, and the ministers began to report on the things that needed to be dealt with in the near future.
Most of the civil officials talked about this year's tax, education, and medical funding issues, and then that place had a new copy, the city was hit by a disaster, and the local government applied for treasury funding.
The military officers did not have so many detours. In a word, the equipment of the legion had to be updated this year. Although it was issued on time now, the soldiers had to be given some benefits, right?
In short, it was money!
"Your Majesty, I think what General Hu said is outrageous. The annual expenditure of the military accounts for one-third of the entire Jiuzhou. This is not enough. Doesn't it mean that other places in Jiuzhou don't need to spend money?"
"But what I said about the education of children in Jiuzhou and the disaster situation in various places can't be delayed!"
An old man in a purple robe was very angry that Hu Anguo interrupted him. After all, he was a veteran of three dynasties, but he didn't know any rules!
"Brother, Li Chengen is the left prime minister of Jiuzhou, and Hu Anguo is the general of the army of Jiuzhou. These two people fight as soon as they meet. Wait, there will definitely be a good show to watch."
Xu Laoba rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
I have been to court meetings several times, and this scene can be regarded as the opening show of the court meeting!
"Bah! The soldiers worked hard to guard the border and leave a stable environment for Jiuzhou. Look at what you said, old man."
"Soldiers are not important, right!"
"It's you civil servants who are incompetent and don't know anything. Why does His Majesty keep you!"
Hu Anguo was immediately unhappy, and didn't care about anything. He immediately pushed Li Chengen in the face and fired a map cannon!
Li Chengen was stunned by the other party's rude behavior, stretched out his hand, and trembled.
"You old man, you dare to insult me and the entire civil service group?"
"What, I don't accept it!"
"Fuck, I'll kill you!"
Li Chengen shouted angrily and scratched Hu Anguo's face!
As both sides took the lead, officials from both the civil and military sides also began to join the battle. The entire hall became a vegetable market for a while. The civil officials cursed as badly as they could, while the military officials were not good at talking and just liked to fight!
This scene made Cao Xiaochun stunned. Is this the highest level of court meeting in Jiuzhou?
And Xu Laoba and the others seemed to be well prepared. They took out a handful of melon seeds and looked like watching a show.
"Fuck, Fatty, your father was hit by someone!"
"It's okay, he's thick and can't be hurt."
"But sister-in-law Mi'er's fighting power is really strong. It's not difficult to hold down those two old guys..."
"That's right, can my wife's fighting power be the same? But this woman is really ignorant. Look at the three sisters-in-law, how calm they are, not participating at all, but she is the one who is in the limelight. Let's see how I teach her a lesson tonight!"
"Enough!"
"What a disgrace in the court?"
As the battle became more and more intense, a delicate shout came from the dragon chair, with a strong pressure in the voice!
As soon as the voice fell, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and both sides stood in neat rows, as if what had just happened had never happened.
Behind the screen, Di Hanxi rubbed his brows, feeling extremely helpless. These people always do this to him every time they attend the court meeting, fearing that he would not take it seriously, right?
After a long silence, Di Hanxi sighed heavily and spoke.
"The contribution of the legion is obvious to everyone on the field, so the merits must be rewarded!"
"Of course, people's livelihood and education are also very important. This is related to the future of Kyushu, and we must not be careless!"
"And the disaster-stricken areas are all Kyushu territory. If something happens, we must be responsible."
"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you are the God of Wealth. How much can the treasury allocate for these things?"
Waving his hand, Di Hanxi kicked the ball back directly.
As soon as the voice fell, a fat man like a ball walked out quickly. Although he was thinner than Hong Tao, his size was also quite excessive!
Wang Tiangan had a pair of black eyes, sniffed, and cried loudly.
"Oh, my majesty, the treasury is empty now. Lord Li and Lord Hu have made so many requests, and they can't be met at all. In this way, I have to spend my life to scrape together at most 5 million spirit stones, no more!"
"Fuck you, 5 million, you are just sending beggars!"
Looking at Wang Tiangan's tears, Hu Anguo blew his beard and shouted.
"Five million is not enough for disaster relief, let alone other things?"
"Lord Wang, you are too much."
Li Chengen wiped his face with a handkerchief and snorted coldly.
"Two lords, you are too much to say that. This is just this much. If you think it is not enough, then look at how much this little meat on my body is worth and sell it all!"
Wang Tiangan said aggrievedly, you don't run the family, you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, or you think the treasury can generate spirit stones by itself!
"Fuck me!"
Hu Anguo and the other two knew this man's Pixiu temperament very well. He was usually stingy, and this time he was even more excessive. How much is the national treasury? Don't you know it?
Before, you gave him a piece of meat, and now you give him a hair, right!
Just as the two were about to argue with him, Emperor Hanxi on the dragon throne interrupted them directly.
"Okay, the national treasury will spend 10 million spirit stones to reward the three armies!"
"Eight million spirit stones will be used for disaster relief, people's livelihood, and education!"
"The mechanical troops will go to the disaster area to rescue and restore local construction!"
Emperor Hanxi made a decision immediately and did not give them a chance to argue.
However, every time she said a word, Wang Tiangan's fat meat shook. For a moment, he felt his heart bleeding!
As the big head fell, the next thing was a boring report, discussion among the ministers, and suggestions from the empress. This process lasted for three and a half hours, and Cao Xiaochun felt a little drowsy.
After waiting for a long time for the group of people to finish arguing, when Di Hanxi was about to talk about the matter of Jingyue Forest and the reward for Cao Xiaochun, an old man slowly stood up and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Master Zheng, is there something important?"
Looking at Zheng Fengyun's actions, Di Hanxi frowned. Among the eight major families, each family has a person with the strongest cultivation in the court, who serves as the Master of Jiuzhou. These people usually don't care about state affairs, and it's just a symbol of status.
Although he had guessed that the Zheng family would make trouble today, Di Hanxi was still unhappy!
"I am reporting to the Sword Emperor that his disciples committed crimes in the downtown area!"
