"Your Majesty, Huang Chunhui remains the same."

I don’t know since when, the mirror has often sent Huang Chunhui’s updates into the palace.

"Um!"

The emperor stood up and "summoned his ministers."

"yes."

Han Shitou bowed slightly, backed up slowly, and then turned around and walked out until he was far away.

"Gather the important ministers to discuss matters!"

"yes!"

The emperor walked slowly in the palace.

Han Shitou was right beside him.

"I often say that people should be self-aware, but some people choose to be smart."

Han Shitou smiled and said: "Those ministers in Northern Xinjiang are just smart."

The emperor's words were meaningless, but Han Shitou was able to catch them.

"Yeah! You're smart."

The emperor walked leisurely with his hands behind his hands, just like a god patrolling his territory.

After a while, all the ministers gathered.

Luo Cai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Zhang Huan, the Minister of War, were sitting together.

"Mr. Luo is in great spirits today!"

Zhang Huan smiled.

"But Mr. Zhang has gained some weight, which shows that life in Chang'an is good." Luo Cai smiled.

"Really?" Zhang Huan touched his cheek, "Men cannot be fat."

"Why?" Luo Cai asked curiously.

Zhang Huan sighed, "When a man gets fat, he can't ride a horse, and he can't have fun in bed."

"I don't practice cultivation when I am old!" Luo Cai smiled.

Being fat will ruin everything!

When the emperor came, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Huan's fat face.

"It seems that life in the Ministry of War made Zhang Qing very comfortable."

I go!

Zhang Huan thought Luo Cai's words were just a joke, but now the emperor also said that he was fat.

"My lord, I'm slacking off."

"sit."

The emperor sat down, and his ministers immediately sat down.

The abbot stood up and reported some money and food matters.

Overall, this year's income will be less than expenses.

In other words, the balance of payments is out of balance.

"Maybe we can support it?" the emperor said calmly.

At the same time, he glanced at Liang Jing on the other side.

Liang Jing has been very popular recently, and the emperor adopted all the suggestions in the court almost without thinking.

This is the favored minister.

The key is that all the people he recommended have been reused.

This is not as simple as being a favorite.

This is clearly the prototype of a powerful minister.

As a result, the threshold of the Liang family was almost trampled by visiting officials, and they sang and sang every night.

The emperor glanced at Liang Jing and found that the circles under his eyes were dark, so he knew that he was drunk too much.

He smiled slightly.

Liang Jing quickly responded with a respectful smile.

Lord and ministers, please enjoy yourself.

But the father-in-law is thinking about where to make up for this year's shortfall.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be a little more difficult this year."

"oh!"

The emperor was calm and gentle, but the head of the state knew that this son-in-law was ruthless. If he couldn't find a way, he would be happy to change himself to a minister of household affairs and expel him from the court.

"First, the war in southern Xinjiang has stopped. Can I give you less money and food?"

The emperor said calmly: "There are still rebels in southern Xinjiang, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty is also eyeing them. They want revenge, but you can't!"

"Yes!" Yang Songcheng knew that the emperor would answer this way, but this was good news for the King of Yue and Zhang Chumao. "The money and food in northern Xinjiang give me a headache every year."

The emperor hesitated.

Zhang Huan said softly: "Your Majesty, Beiliao is here!"

If you reduce the money and food in Northern Xinjiang, what will happen if Northern Liao comes to attack?

The emperor said calmly: "The country is in trouble, and both the army and the people should contribute, at least to some extent."

He didn't say how much to reduce. It depends on Yang Songcheng to understand the holy will.

If the amount given was too little and a riot broke out in Northern Xinjiang, the emperor would say it was Yang Songcheng's fault and he could not avoid the blame.

This skill easily dug a hole for the father-in-law.

It's chilling.

Zhang Huan sighed softly.

Luo just heard it.

This is a helpless sigh.

If we can work together as one, relying on the emperor's skill and the ability of his ministers, the Tang Dynasty will naturally become strong again, and a prosperous age can be expected.

But the emperor used his own skills to check and balance.

Zhang Huan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, after the palace coup, He Lianfeng will have less constraints. If he cuts the money and food in Northern Xinjiang and he finds an opportunity, his army will go south..."

The emperor glanced at Yang Songcheng.

Yang Songcheng said: "They collect all the taxes in northern Xinjiang, and they collect a lot of them every year."

Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang both had the Jiedushi system, collecting taxes and recruiting warriors on their own...the DPRK had the power to appoint officials and generals.

"Can……"

Zhang Huan looked at the expressionless emperor and sat down slowly.

Only when he arrived in Chang'an did he learn about Huang Chunhui's difficulties.

The emperor's favoritism towards southern Xinjiang was almost unscrupulous.

He was quite comfortable at first.

But after becoming Minister of the Ministry of War, he realized the difficulties in northern Xinjiang.

The situation in Northern Xinjiang is very complicated, not only in Northern Liao, but also with various ethnic groups everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be taken advantage of.

The key is that northern Xinjiang is bitterly cold and the products are not abundant.

Zhang Huan firmly believed that if Northern Xinjiang were as prosperous as the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Huang Chunhui could give up the name of sick tiger and make Northern Liao fearful.

Everything is caused by money and food!

But now the emperor wants to reduce the money and food in Northern Xinjiang.

What does he want to do?

Zhang Huan's face turned red!

Zheng Qi stood up and said, "Aren't those people in Northern Xinjiang your Majesty's ministers? It's difficult in the DPRK, how can they remain indifferent?"

Are you trying to change your concept? Are you treating me like a stick?

Zhang Huan just wanted to stand up to argue, but Yang Songcheng said calmly: "I won't get a cent of this year's salary!"

The country is in difficulty!
