After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space
Chapter 520 Reclaiming the Throne
The battle report was delivered to the court as fast as a storm. The news of the army's annihilation and the theft of food supplies came like a bolt from the blue, causing an uproar in the court. The civil and military officials were shocked and talked about it.
The number of Gu for eight thousand soldiers is a number accumulated over many years. It is impossible to control the soldiers with Gu now.
Without this group of precious Gu soldiers, the army's combat effectiveness would undoubtedly be greatly affected.
Baili Jin was even more furious. His face turned ashen, he slammed the table and stood up. He immediately issued an order to bring the guilty Sun Shangzhi back for questioning.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, a marquis with outstanding military achievements was sent to serve as the commander-in-chief in an attempt to revive the army.
However, the national treasury is now an empty shell, and all the ministers are aware of it. They all choose to remain silent, but their eyes are all focused on the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Ministry of Revenue had to make a statement on this matter. On weekdays, the Minister of Revenue, Shen Conglan, did not come to court, and the government affairs were decided by the Vice Minister of Revenue. At this moment, he was secretly anxious, wishing that he could be invisible to everyone. However, reality forced him to bite the bullet and face it.
The Minister of Revenue knelt on the ground trembling with fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, with the current supply of grain and grass...I really have no way...to deal with it."
Baili Han's face darkened when he heard this, and he responded coldly: "Since you can't help the monarch solve his problems, there is no point in keeping you."
After saying this, two guards immediately came out, ready to drag the Minister of Revenue away.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue turned pale with fear. In panic, he struggled and begged for mercy, his voice sounding somewhat anxious.
"Your Majesty, please be merciful...I...I have thought of a way."
Baili Jin leaned back on the dragon chair, his expression indifferent, his eyes closed, and he spoke slowly with a lazy posture.
"Tell me!"
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and immediately kowtowed in response:
"I have an idea. We can collect some grain from merchants. The country is going through a difficult time. I am willing to tighten my belt from now on and donate the extra money for military use. I will never keep it for myself."
"Very good, I will do as you say."
Baili Jin still had his eyes closed, but one could clearly hear a hint of pleasure in the sound that came out of his mouth.
Hearing this, the Minister of Revenue immediately felt relieved and a look of relief appeared on his face.
However, the other ministers could not help but curse in their hearts: "Old fox!"
They exchanged glances with each other and then expressed their opinions one after another. They would cut down on the expenses in their mansions and invest all the profits they would have saved into military supplies to show their loyalty.
Baili Jin was immersed in the power of faith coming from all directions, feeling gentle strength flowing into his body, making him feel comfortable and light. He leaned back on the dragon throne and waved his hand to let all officials leave.
The danger of the siege was over, and Mu Yunfeng ordered the entire army to recuperate. The soldiers in the barracks were eating meat and drinking wine, which was in contrast to Lingyue's munching on steamed buns.
The news of Lingyue's defeat first reached Nanyin. Now that Lingyue no longer interferes with Nanyin, Nangong Hao's throne has come to an end.
"How dare you, Meng Zhi, to rebel." Nangong Hao shouted at the fearful General Meng.
"Haha! How dare a traitor to the country accuse me of rebellion? If Nangong Hao knows what's best for him, he should get off the ground."
"How dare you! I am the emperor! Come, quickly capture this traitor for me."
However, Meng Zhi's troops were larger than Nangong Hao's.
"Nangong Hao, no one in the court has said anything. Don't waste your energy. Since you took the throne without any legitimate reason, anyone with the ability can take the position. Get off the throne immediately."
Nangong Hao did not expect that at this moment no minister would come out to scold the traitor. He felt desperate. Without Lingyue's support, he knew that the situation was hopeless.
Being pulled off the throne and with a knife at his neck, Meng Zhi laughed loudly and was about to sit on the throne.
"Uncle, this seat is not for you to sit in."
After Tianshu and King Jing of Nanyin recognized each other, he and Li Qingyi returned to Nanyin to plan to regain the throne. At that time, the court was still in session, and Meng Zhi launched the first wave of forcing the emperor to abdicate.
"Where are you from boy?"
Tianshu appeared at some point, leaning against the pillar with a sword in his arms.
"From this king's family." King Xiaoyao Li Rongjing came in from outside.
"You are King Jing, and you are still alive?" Meng Zhi looked at Nangong Hao with disdain. He couldn't even kill him, what a waste.
"King Jing, it's King Jing who is here." A minister recognized the man and said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Many old officials looked at Li Rongjing as he saluted.
"No need to be polite."
"Li Rongjing, aren't you dead?" Nangong Hao looked at the person who came in astonishment.
"God cannot bear to see you traitors and villains abusing your power, so how could he let me die?" Li Rongjing walked towards Nangong Hao step by step, with indifference in his eyes.
Nangong Hao's face turned gloomy, "Li Rongjing, are you planning a rebellion too?"
"Treason?" Ye Huaijue, who followed behind him, sneered, "Prince Jing is of royal blood. Taking back his own things is also considered treason. This is the first time that Your Highness has heard of such a ridiculous joke."
"The third prince is here too." Meng Zhi saw Ye Huaijue here, thinking that Tianqi wanted to interfere in Nanyin's internal affairs. He would not be able to accomplish anything today, so he said to the ministers:
"This general cannot bear to see Nangong Hao deceiving the people. Back then, this immoral man relied on Lingyue's support to kill the emperor and seize the throne. Fortunately, we can put things right today. I support Prince Jing in getting rid of the traitor."
Ye Huai ignored this opportunistic villain and no one responded to him.
"I am the legitimate heir of the Nanyin royal family. Back then, Nangong Hao, as the consort of the emperor, colluded with Lingyue to kill his brother and seize the throne. He repeatedly sent people to assassinate me. After seizing the throne, he only knew how to enjoy himself and made no achievements. Such a traitor should be cut into pieces."
"What the prince said is true. I support the prince in eliminating the traitors."
"Please ascend the throne, Your Majesty."
All the old ministers supported Li Rongjing, and Li Qingyi also won over some new officials. Not a single civil or military official in the court supported Nangong Hao, which made him so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.
The political situation quickly stabilized, and Nangong Hao's family was arrested and awaiting punishment.
Tianshu was waiting for Nan Yin to return to the hands of the Li family. He didn't want to be the emperor, and Li Qingyi didn't want to be either, so the throne had to be left to his biological father.
Mengzhi was a major hidden danger. He found a time to kill Mengzhi and then happily went to find his prince.
With Ye Huaijue's intervention, Nan Yin's coup went very smoothly.
