After traveling through time, I became a thorn in the eyes of the sickly prince

three days later.

Amid the sound of drums and music, Murong Wenshuo, accompanied by a group of ministers, slowly walked into the hall and ascended the throne.

"kneel!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"My dear ministers, please stand up!" The big hand made a lifting gesture.

Murong Wenshuo looked around at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground with a burning gaze, his brows slightly raised, as he had finally welcomed this day.

An Murou stood at the side door, staring at the man on the dragon throne, her heart seemed to blossom. Being an emperor is different. He immediately sent troops to repair the An family ancestral hall. However, why hasn't his father's case been investigated yet? Also, why didn't he announce it to the world and enthrone her as the queen? After thinking about it for a long time, she put her belly down and smiled sweetly. She must be afraid that she was too tired and had a miscarriage.

The young eunuch sang again: "I have something to report, otherwise I will leave the court!"

Prime Minister Chu stood out from the queue and bowed.

"Your Majesty, Huangling was bombed. This is a serious matter. We need to arrest the murderer immediately, including the instigator of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony!"

"I have sent someone to investigate."

Minister of War Sun Chongshan knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, my daughter Sun Yutong is sixteen years old, just coming of age. I am willing to enter the palace to serve Your Majesty and give birth to your offspring." After saying this, she lowered her eyelids.

Murong Wenshuo stared at Sun Chongshan's gray hair and found it funny. A while ago, he had won over a group of ministers to impeach him, and they almost went into battle at the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. Now the wind suddenly changed and he was stuffing women into his harem.

Another minister stepped out of the procession,

"Your Majesty, my little daughter has reached the age of marriage and is willing to enter the palace to give birth to your children."

"Your Majesty, your daughter~~"

With a loud crash, a large group of people fell to their knees.

Murong Wenshuo waved his hand, "My dear ministers, please stand up. Let's put the expansion of the harem on hold for now. What needs to be resolved urgently now is the border crisis between Cangzhou and Yazhou. General Mu has already submitted a petition asking the court to send troops to deter Huainan State. There are also a large number of Yuanlong soldiers gathered at the border of Yazhou. There is a great danger of another war!!!"

General Chu Yuan immediately stepped out of the line, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to conquer Huainan."

Chu Ming also stood out from the ranks, "Your Majesty, I am also willing to lead the troops to deter the border of Yuanlong Kingdom."

Sun Chongwei and several other generals also volunteered to fight.

Seeing these generals volunteering, Murong Wenshuo was particularly pleased. Just as he was about to issue an order, the Minister of Revenue Wang Bingqiu wailed loudly.

"Your Majesty, the last time Suizhou fought against Tianqi, the treasury was empty. In addition, the previous emperor promoted the abolition of the head tax, and the silver collected was much less than in previous years. The treasury of our Great Xia is already stretched to the limit."

Murong Wenshuo frowned slightly.

"Didn't the late emperor say that after the pension system was implemented, a lot of money would come in?"

"Your Majesty, that little bit of silver has already been paid out. If there is another war, we really won't be able to come up with the silver."

"Then restore the previous land tax system and let the people tighten their belts."

The Minister of Revenue wailed again,

"Your Majesty, this year's taxes have already been collected and deposited into the treasury. We can only wait until next year."

Murong Wenshuo thought for a moment and looked at Prime Minister Chu. This was his magic weapon, so there must be a way.

Receiving the emperor's strong signal, Prime Minister Chu's confused old eyes turned half a circle and walked out of the queue:

"Your Majesty, the tax system is not good for changing every day. As far as I know, since the implementation of the new tax system, the people have been spreading the news and the support is very high. Especially the loan business system, workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, solving many employment problems for the people. This shows that the reform system implemented by the late emperor is correct."

"How do we resolve the emergency at the border? Does anyone have a good idea, my dear ministers?" Murong Wenshuo glanced at the ministers in the hall again. At this moment, he realized how much pressure his father was under sitting here every day.

Prime Minister Chu said again: "Your Majesty, I recommend Prince Duan to guard the border of Yuanlong State. It just so happens that he was exiled to Yazhou~abandoned city, and the new emperor ascended the throne and pardoned the world to show the emperor's benevolence. Why not~~"

"As opposed to what?" Murong Wenshuo asked anxiously.

Prime Minister Chu spoke again, "Why not make the abandoned city the fief of Prince Duan? The abandoned city has a total of 35 counties, and it happens to border the Yuanlong Kingdom. It would be most appropriate for the prince to guard it."

After thinking it over, Murong Wenshuo felt that this method was very good. The abandoned city was so poor that only dirt was left.

"Come here, pass on my decree. The abandoned city will be given to Prince Duan as a fiefdom. You can recruit 20,000 soldiers and horses on the spot, and provide military pay, food and fodder..." The voice paused,

"self resolved."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate uproar in the hall, some agreeing and some disagreeing.

"Isn't this obviously a problem?"

"Yes, the abandoned city is so poor that the people have to eat dirt. Besides, how can an emergency at the border be solved by dividing up fiefdoms?"

"That's right, it kills people and destroys their hearts!"

Unpleasant words came out one after another, and Prime Minister Chu immediately turned around and put his hands on his waist.

"Which bastard ate shit this morning? Your mouth stinks. I don't want your head anymore!"

After his cloudy old eyes took a quick look around, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Some ministers were unable to speak freely and their faces turned red.

Others gnashed their teeth in anger.

Some of them let out a series of long, loud farts.

Seeing that the hall was finally quiet, Murong Wenshuo said again:

"Send General Chu Yuan as the commander-in-chief and General Chu Ming as the deputy commander-in-chief, and lead 20,000 soldiers to Cangzhou to cooperate with General Mu Lao. If the Yazhou border is in danger, cooperate with Prince Duan to fight. Set off in five days."

"Your Highness Chu Yuan obeys your orders!"

"Your Highness Chu Ming obeys your orders!"

The ministers were in an uproar again. Why did it feel like Yazhou was excluded from the circle? Was Prince Duan to be left to fend for himself?

Suddenly, a young eunuch ran into the hall in panic.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Second, Third, and Fourth Princes were hit by a bomb on their way to their fiefdoms. The Third Prince died on the spot, the Fourth Prince was seriously injured, the Fifth and Sixth Princes are missing, and several important passes, such as Hangu Pass, Shaoguan Pass, and Fenghuang Pass, as well as the Jiangdu Dam, have all been blown up to pieces!!!"

Murong Wenshuo's face changed drastically. He originally wanted to kill these brothers after ascending the throne, but these days he was repeatedly dissuaded by the princes, some uncles and some ministers, saying that if the descendants of the Murong family were gone, the backbone of the Great Xia would fall. Considering the current situation of the Great Xia, with internal and external troubles, he did not kill them, but now, they were killed and injured in the explosion!!!

"How about other places?"

"Your Majesty, the other places are too far away, so the news has not yet arrived. However, the commanders of Hangu Pass and Shaoguan said that they captured a man from Yuanlong Country. After a large-scale interrogation, he said that he wanted to make Daxia flourish everywhere, and also said that this was a gift to the emperor to celebrate his ascension to the throne!"

Murong Wenshuo's eyes were red with anger, he stood up suddenly and said, "Pass on my order. General Sun Chongwei will be the commander-in-chief, leading an army of 100,000. He will urge all states and counties to strengthen their preparations for war. Also, do your best to capture spies and merchants from Yuanlong Kingdom and other countries in Kyoto, and carefully search for bombs in every corner of the imperial palace. The court is dismissed!" After saying this, he strode towards the entrance of the hall.

That bitch is really vicious. Does she want to destroy our Great Xia kingdom?
