Chapter 5299: Retreat

"Yesterday's conflict between the Ministry of Justice and the Zhendu Prefecture was all due to the lack of a reasonable written treaty and the lack of preparation by the cabinet. It was clearly decided by the government that the Zhendu Prefecture would contract some of the errands of the Ministry of Punishment or the Ministry of War, but it was not implemented. ”

"The cabinet is at fault."

The elder Ge immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake in panic: "Your Majesty, I did not think carefully!"

"Well, I didn't expect that the Zhendu Mansion was so efficient. In a short period of time, tens of thousands of mercenaries were established and ready to go. Moreover, Ye Shangshu didn't report it, which is also wrong."

Ye Wudao also admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, I know my mistake."

When Ji Tianxing saw that Ye Wudao was just pretending to him, he couldn't bear to act and knelt down to show off, so he couldn't help laughing: "That's it, there are thousands of mistakes. In the end, it's all my fault."

"If there is no peace for the people in Dawn, then I cannot shirk responsibility. If the people are not living well, I cannot shirk responsibility. What I do is for the people, and it is for the people that I have to cut some expenses."

"From now on...the money saved will be spent on the people!"

Ji Tianxing had already thought of the reason. It was for the sake of the people that he had no choice but to cut the expenditure of the Ministry of Finance and had to ask the town capital government to contract some business.

No one can refute this reason!

The cabinet ministers could not provide any solid rebuttal.

Ji Tianxing then ordered: "I hope that conflicts will not happen again. Next, I will personally have someone write a contract for the business that Zhendu Mansion will contract next, and sign it with Zhendu Mansion in the name of the imperial court."

"My dear friends, Shen Xia's Jin Department is empty. It has reached an urgent moment. I want to cut through the mess with a quick sword. If anyone stands in front of me, let's see... my sword is not fast!"

At the end of the sentence, Ji Tianxing already had murderous intent in his eyes.

The cabinet ministers shuddered and feared in their hearts.

They had been arguing in front of Ji Tianxing all day long, fighting endlessly for their own interests, which had made Ji Tianxing very angry. Now it was obvious that Ji Tianxing had no patience and did not want any more trouble.

If someone stands in front of you, get rid of him!

This determination was also formed under the influence of Ye Wudao's decisive actions.

If Ye Wudao had been obedient, he would not have done this. Anyway, Ji Tianxing also knew that he would not be able to sit on the throne for a few more years. Before stepping down, he would naturally lay a good foundation for his successor.

Otherwise, once he abdicates, Shenxia is likely to change.

I simply don't care about so many worries and give it a go.

Let's see what kind of waves Ye Wudao can create with his help, and let's see how far Ji Youlan can go.

Of course, although his power is powerful, it is also limited. If he cannot help Ji Youlan, then he can only choose Ji Kong and Ji Qingwu.

In short, Ji Tianxing still fully supports Ye Wudao and Ji Youlan.

As for what happens next, it all depends on performance.

Ye Wudao understood what Ji Tianxing meant, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will handle the errands of the capital city well and will not disappoint Your Majesty."

Ji Tianxing smiled lightly and said: "I know that you may have a lot of troubles in the future, and I will have a lot of troubles on my side. Just go ahead and do it. Within two months, I will see initial results."

"At least this year...don't charge me such high expenses for the Ministry of Punishment!"

When he mentioned the expenses of the Ministry of Punishments, he couldn't help but get angry, and the ministers in the Cabinet who sided with the Ministry of Punishments also looked guilty, because the Ministry of Punishments had increased their expenses this year, although it was not much.

Ye Wudao smiled and looked at the group of guilty ministers, and said: "My lords, I think the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of those things, so they don't need so much money, right?"

Someone looked at Ye Wudao and said in a cold tone: "Shang Shu, any expenditures made by the Ministry of Punishment are justified. Even the Ministry of Finance has sent people to check, and there will be no problem. Don't make random questions and cause trouble." ”

"Shang Shu Ye just needs to do his own thing well. What does it mean to criticize Sang and Huai like this?"

"Please also ask Ye Shangshu not to be too confident. It is still difficult to say whether things will be accomplished or not, and whether the Zhendu Mansion can take on the important role!"

Ye Wudao smiled: "You don't need to worry about it anymore, just go and see."

"That's enough." Ji Tianxing interrupted: "In fact, there is nothing important in calling you here today. We can just discuss Xihuang's matter again. There is no need to mention other trivial matters."

Ge Lao said: "Let's just keep doing the same thing, Your Majesty. We can just puppet the Xihuang Kingdom. We cannot destroy them. That will make other countries afraid to deal with me, Shenxia."

"No!" Suddenly, Ye Wudao spoke with a domineering expression.

The elder Ge looked at him with an ugly expression and said: "Shang Shu, you have been in the limelight enough. Can you make the decision on all things in Shenxia? The Holy One hasn't spoken yet, what are you doing?"

Ji Tianxing also looked a little unhappy. Unexpectedly, Ye Wudao had other opinions on this matter, and even bluntly said that it could not be done.

In recent days, he trusted Ye Wudao too much and facilitated Ye Wudao in many things. However, on second thought, it would be risky if he allowed Ye Wudao to do whatever he wanted.

The next moment, Ye Wudao said: "Perhaps from the perspective of others, handling Xihuang's affairs should naturally be done in a quiet manner so as not to attract attention."

"However, we have discussed before that Xihuang must be annexed. If the Xihuang royal family does not act, it should be destroyed. Only I, Shen Xia, can replace it. This is a blessing for the people of Xihuang."

"The people's wish is to bring peace to Xihuang and save the people of Xihuang. We have had too many things happen in recent days, and we urgently need to divert our attention, so we have to make a big fuss about this matter."

Ye Wudao despised this group of cabinet ministers in his heart. These people have been high and mighty for a long time, and they have forgotten the thoughts of others. The matter of Xihuang is not a big deal, after all, Xihuang is very small.

However, it is necessary to show the tyranny of Shenxia from this matter, and it is also necessary to satisfy the people of the world. It is obviously not enough to make the people happy just to be a puppet of Xihuang.

The people of the world still hope that Shenxia will govern Xihuang so that the people there will no longer suffer from the suffering of evil cultivators.

Although there are many unsatisfactory things in Shenxia, ​​compared with Xihuang, it is still very peaceful and even prosperous.

Therefore, in order to deter the scoundrels and comfort the people of the world, the matter of Xihuang still needs to be made a big fuss, and Shenxia needs to merge Xihuang into it and make it a state of Shenxia.

Ji Tianxing quickly understood Ye Wudao's idea, frowned and said: "Xihuang can just be a puppet. I have decided on this matter. If we take it step by step in the future, we can also achieve results. Minister Ye, don't rush into anything."

"I know you are impatient, so I will not consider your participation in Xihuang's affairs. Back off."
