Chapter 198 Accounting Issues
In the Rosewood Pavilion, Immortal Zhenxu brought Feng Hanyun into Lingjingxuan, and it took a full 49 days to cleanse the evil nature from her. However, along with the disappearance of the evil nature, many of her beautiful memories were also taken away.
Ever since Jin Yan held his coronation ceremony and inherited the throne, the Xisha Kingdom has often violated the law by claiming that its leader Tuoba Yue died in Fengtian Kingdom, and there are no more people who come to Zitan Pavilion to cause trouble.
A month ago, when Yuchuan learned that Jin Yan was in Fengtian Kingdom, he led the Fuhu Army to pick up Jin Yan. It happened that Xisha Kingdom was disturbing the border, so he fought all the way to the capital of Fengtian Kingdom and became Jin Yan's most capable assistant. He made many military exploits for Fengtian Kingdom within a month.
Feng Hanyun stayed in the Rosewood Pavilion and practiced hard, leading his disciples to the top of the world.
Under Guerlain's instruction, the disciples in the Rosewood Pavilion tacitly avoided mentioning Jin Yan, as if the two people's worlds no longer intersected at this moment.
On this day, in the court, Jin Yan listened to the ministers reporting recent events, and Jin Yan listened carefully word by word.
"Your Majesty, Xisha has been defeated by General Yuchuan. Xisha is not as powerful as Fengtian. Your Majesty can just send troops to invade and take down Xisha in one fell swoop."
"I second your opinion. The most powerful general of Xisha State was Tuoba Yue. Now that Tuoba Yue has passed away, Xisha State is like a piece of cake. We can give it a try."
"I agree with this proposal. Xisha is so bold that it dares to invade our country repeatedly. Your Majesty, why not completely recover the small Xisha and make it a vassal state of Fengtian Kingdom to serve as a warning to others."
Jin Yan chuckled, "One is in the east, the other is in the west. If it weren't for someone's instructions, how could Xisha Kingdom dare to act rashly and think of recovering a country? The army is far away, and the country is short of troops. Now is the time for a change of dynasty. How dare these old guys?"
Under the court, Ruan Ning heard Jin Yan's voice, glanced at the old ministers coldly, and stood up and said, "It has been a few days since the emperor ascended the throne, and the court has just stabilized the inside and outside. If he attacks Xisha this time, he will definitely dispatch a large number of troops to Xisha. With such a weak national situation and heavy affairs in the court, it is a fantasy to start a war!"
Those people looked at Ruan Ning and said hurriedly, "Princess, you should know that Xisha Kingdom and our country have signed a peace agreement. When the saint was in power, he often instigated Nanyuan Kingdom to suppress our Fengtian. Now is the time when Xisha Kingdom is weak. Of course, we must take advantage of the victory and make Xisha Kingdom completely..."
"Heh~" Jin Yan sneered, causing the man to stop talking instantly, and everyone looked at Jin Yan who was sitting on the stage.
The man thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you are the new emperor, so you need to have victories in order to convince the people."
Jin Yan ignored this person and instead looked at Prime Minister Meng and asked, "Prime Minister Meng, what is the current situation at the border?"
Minister Meng quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, according to the battle report received this morning, General Chuan's Fuhu Army has already pushed the Xisha soldiers back a hundred miles outside the border. If General Chuan had not urgently dispatched 3,000 soldiers, plus our country's 2,000 soldiers, it would have been difficult to push the enemy back nearly a hundred miles."
"In addition, I have received reports that the Nanyuan Kingdom is involved in the enemy army."
Jin Yan's mouth curled up slightly, "Prime Minister Meng is indeed talented. He can receive intelligence on such secret matters. I believe that the secret report my mother received was also provided by Prime Minister Meng. If it weren't for Du Beizhe, I'm afraid Prime Minister Meng would have become my mother's most capable assistant."
Jin Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Meng. Fengtian is a big country with 5,000 soldiers. Once the war breaks out, the people will surely suffer. In terms of financial resources and combat power, Fengtian is still sealed off and self-defense, which is difficult to maintain. I counted the national treasury yesterday, and I would like to ask you, Lord Meng, why is it that every year, taxes are collected, but the treasury is empty every year?"
After these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Those who had stood out lowered their heads silently. Ruan Ning looked at them and said, "The emperor is asking questions, why don't you guys answer them?"
Jin Yan glanced at everyone coldly and slammed the table, saying, "Now that the war is stable, General Yuchuan has made an indelible contribution, but the national treasury is not even enough to pay the soldiers' pensions. I don't know how you have assisted my mother in governing the country over the years!"
The king was furious, and everyone knelt down and prayed, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Jin Yan sneered, "Counting the days, General Yuchuan will soon return." She swept her cold eyes over the ministers and finally landed on Prime Minister Meng, saying, "Prime Minister, I order you to be the imperial envoy to immediately investigate the treasury silver. I grant you the imperial sword. Ning'er, you assist the prime minister. Within three days, I want to see that the treasury accounts are balanced."
"The minister accepts the order."
"The minister accepts the order."
Seeing that the others had nothing to say, Jin Yan waved his sleeves and said, "Dismiss the court."
After leaving the hall, Jin Yan rushed to the princess' bedroom to check on Jin Xi. Ever since Jin Xi was frightened that day, she has not spoken since then. She was unwilling to get close to anyone except Jin Yan. The moment she saw Jin Yan, she ran out and grabbed Jin Yan's clothes tightly.
Jin Yan squatted down and asked, "How is Xiaoxi today?"
Jin Xi pursed her lips and shook her head vigorously. Jin Yan rubbed her little head, "My dear little Xi, I'm a little busy these days and don't have time to come to see you. If you miss me, please come to the palace to find me."
Jin Xi nodded vigorously. Jin Yan smiled, stood up and stretched out his hand. Luo Li next to him handed the prepared food to Jin Yan.
Jin Yan took the lunch box and said, "You guys go down first."
[Since Jin Xi was frightened, she stopped talking. It seems that what happened that day caused indelible damage to her young heart. If you want to know what happened that day, I'm afraid only Jin Xi knows. ]
[But judging from her appearance, she has been so frightened that it will be difficult for her to recover for some time. Even if she doesn't know, it won't have any impact. ]
Jin Yan took out the prepared snacks. Jin Xi seemed to like them quite a bit. Jin Yan reminded her, "These are all prepared by the imperial kitchen. I wonder which one you like? How about trying them all?"
Jin Xi nodded and tasted the snacks one by one. She would eat the ones she liked and put the ones she didn’t like aside.
Jin Yan looked up at Luo Li and said, "Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare more of these desserts, and give Xiao Xi the freshest fruits of the season."
"Yes." Luo Li memorized the types of snacks and left the room.
Jin Yan looked at Jin Xi, who was eating the snack in her hand bit by bit. She couldn't bear it, but she didn't ask.
Jin Xi suddenly ran down, and Jin Yan quickly stood up and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Xi?"
Jin Xi took out the document he had written and handed it to Jin Yan. Jin Yan took the letter and asked, "Is this for me?"
Jin Xi nodded vigorously, and Jin Yan stroked the letter in her hand. She always felt that this matter was very heavy in her heart, but she couldn't tell the reason. She wanted to open it several times to check the contents, but gave up several times.
She was not sure if what was written in it was what she wanted to know. Looking at Jin Xi's gaze, she put the letter down and said, "I will take this letter back and read it when I have time."
