In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

Chapter 104 It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice

"When I took over Beiyun, the treasury of Beiyun had only a few copper coins, so clean that even rats wouldn't patronize it. This is because the previous emperor advocated peace and paid out all the money.

It was I who pulled it back from the brink of poverty, and now you have the nerve to attribute it to the late emperor’s peacemaking.”

[You should have some shame]

Mo Jinyi didn't frown. Why was Xiao Zhaoyang stealing his lines?

Forget it.

Mo Jinyi sat on the chair somewhat tiredly and delivered the verdict to the Imperial Censor below.

"The Imperial Censor is old, it's time for him to enjoy his retirement."

Lord Jiang never expected that he would be deposed by Mo Jinyi just a few days after taking office.

The Minister of Personnel also had a bitter look on his face at this time, and said, "Your Majesty, you are demoting people again."

I really have no one to fill the hole for you. At this moment, I really hope that the imperial examination can be completed smoothly.

He is short of people.

Mo Jinyi spoke again.

"I feel sorry for the people because of the war here. I will issue an edict of apology to explain the situation to the people."

The ministers were shocked. This incident was not the emperor's fault, and they were about to persuade him.

Mo Jinyi spoke again.

"I have decided to go to the battle myself, with the Crown Prince as regent, and Grand Tutor Shen, Grand Tutor Lou, Grand Tutor Su, Marquis Zhenyuan and four others to assist me."

"In addition, the Duke of Zhenguo will guard the capital this time, and the Right General Lü Jiangli and General Ningyuan will follow me to the battle."

When these words were spoken, Mo Sheng was horrified. His own father was actually planning a big move behind his back.

[Father, when did you make the decision? You didn’t even discuss this with everyone.]

[I am silently holding back my ultimate move by myself]

[You better explain this to me.]

Mo Sheng glanced at his brother the Crown Prince who was very calm.

[It seems that the Crown Prince knows about this matter.]

The prince smiled bitterly. He just knew that his father had only informed him.

My father didn't listen to my advice at all and forced me to do something.

He was only fifteen years old, and yet he was appointed regent.

This is child labor exploitation.

Master Lou and others also became nervous.

All the ministers knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

"I have thought about it again and again."

Mo Jinyi retorted.

"Your Majesty, you are needed at court."

"The Crown Prince will supervise the country well. Besides, with Grand Tutor Lou and others supervising the country, what do you have to be afraid of?"

Mo Jinyi didn't care. He let the prince gain experience so early, wasn't it just to let him help share the burden?

He is not the kind of person who is obsessed with power, otherwise even if Xiao Sheng'er suggested that he should train the prince well, he would not agree so early.

"Your Majesty, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

Master Lou was still trying to persuade him.

"Unfortunately, it's easier to fish in troubled waters."

Mo Jinyi retorted calmly.

[Father, it turns out you are playing a big game of chess, with the entire world as the chessboard]

[Father is fishing, let's see who is willing to take the bait]

Mo Sheng keenly captured the key information in his father's words.

Wondering what his father was doing.

The ministers tried to persuade him for a long time, but Mo Jinyi seemed indifferent.

Everyone looked sad.

Mo Jinyi saw that no one could find a point to refute him.

Satisfied, he took Mo Sheng away.

I still have to deal with this little one in my arms.

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the six ministers, please go to the Imperial Study Room later. I have something important to discuss with you."

Wait until Mo Jinyi brings Mo Sheng and the prince back to the imperial study.

Just sat down.

[Father, please tell me what is going on.]

Staring at the look in his little daughter's eyes as she looked at him quietly.

Mo Jinyi felt guilty for a rare moment, and he coughed awkwardly.

Explain to the prince and Mo Sheng why he did this.

"Beiyun has been weak for a long time, and the enemies are all around. The determination to win has been almost wiped out. I just want to come in person and tell the people of Beiyun that I am at the front line and will advance and retreat with them."

The prince felt that he was really unsure about letting him govern the country.

No matter how smart he was, he had only been attending court for a month or two.

"But father, when you leave, the eyes of all nations will be on you. If anything goes wrong, what will you let Beiyun do?"

"No, if the emperor lets me go, or the prince goes, the effect will be the same."

Mo Jinyi shook his head.

"Yun Shen, you are the future of Beiyun. This trip is too dangerous. It is indeed not suitable for you to go."

[Father, do you know that your plan is to put you under the swords of all nations?]

[Brother Crown Prince is not yet grown up. If you die, Beiyun will be in chaos again.]

Mo Sheng calmly analyzed the current situation.

"Yun Shen, there is no need to talk about this matter any further. Once I open my mouth, there is no room for maneuver. I will have to trouble you in the court later."

"You should discuss this carefully with Grand Tutor Lou and the others. If there is anything you are unsure about, please write to me."

Mo Jinyi gave a serious explanation.

"Oh, you can also go find your mother. Even though she is trapped in the harem now, her abilities and talents are not bad."

[You also know that your mother is now trapped in the harem. If the harem is not in chaos now, you will see whether your mother will pay attention to you now.]

[Besides, it's not that easy for my father to die. I don't believe you would go without being absolutely sure. Now it's like a farewell between life and death.]

【What's the fuss?】

As soon as Mo Sheng said this, the originally sad atmosphere was completely destroyed.

Mo Jinyi sighed helplessly.

Sheng'er, you will ruin the atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice request to see you."

Qing Yu walked in from outside the imperial study to report.

"Invite them in."

"See Your Majesty."

When Lord Yi and others came in, the prince had returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, are you really going this time?"

Lord Yi asked.

Mo Jinyi nodded, then spoke calmly.

"I'll be relying on you to provide supplies for a while."

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the rest, but the silver in the treasury may not last long."

Lord Tian stepped forward and said, "A good cook cannot cook without rice."

"If Qi State relies on a protracted war, we will be helpless. Even if it is during the autumn harvest, we can't afford to delay."

The prince saw that his father had made up his mind.

"Master Tian, ​​the rich merchants across the country should be able to scrape off 10% of the oil, right?"

Lord Tian hesitated. These wealthy businessmen had money, but they might not be willing.

There is no business without treachery.

Even though he is the biggest profiteer in all of North Cloud, three cobblers can still make a Zhuge Liang.

"Your Highness, if you want to get even a 10% of the oil off these people, it may be a bit difficult."

The prince spoke at the right time.

“Everyone has weaknesses, and the biggest weakness of businessmen is that their status is not high and they are not protected.

I think we can start from this aspect, for example, their descendants can become officials?"

When the prince said this, several ministers looked at each other in surprise.

The Minister of War refused without even thinking about it.

"Your Highness, how can a merchant's son, a lowly man, serve as an official in the court?"

[Why are you so stubborn? I just want a chance to change my fate. As for whether I can pass it, doesn’t it depend on my talent?]
