Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Inside the Tai Chi Hall.

All court officials were subject to the emperor's power.

The emperor personally issued a decree, ordering the king of Liang to lead an army of 400,000 people to quell the rebellion of Shuofang.

Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy! Although the emperor's decree was bloody, but Shuofang Jiedushi was the first to rebel, so it's not to blame for the emperor's ruthless means.

However.

The Minister of War, however, understood that the emperor was going to start a war. The war between the Datang Empire and the Turks has just ended and has not yet recovered. In this case, if troops are sent to fight against Shuofang Jiedushi, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will be damaged.

As one of the six ministries, the Ministry of War is one of the six divisions, commanding the mobilization of troops and horses all over the world. Naturally, it is clear how much the cost of launching a war will be.

Not to mention other things, the consumption of silver taels alone is a sky-high figure.

The Minister of War knew that the emperor had copied the property of the former prime minister Yuan Zai, and there should be a lot of silver taels in the treasury.

But those silver taels were probably consumed in the war against the Turks. In the view of the Minister of War, the treasury is bound to be vacant today.

At this time, if the Son of Heaven insists on launching a war again, where will the money he needs come from?

Only forcibly expropriated from the private sector.

The way of expropriation from the people is nothing more than increasing the people's servitude.

Together with the servitude, the people's grievances will follow!

At that time, even if the Shuofang Rebellion was quelled, it would be harmful to the Tang Dynasty!

Thinking of this, the Minister of Military Affairs raised the meaning of death advice in his heart.

The Minister of War knows that the emperor who is sitting on the throne of the dragon chair is decisive and decisive in killing.

Just over three months after ascending the throne, I do not know how many officials have been imprisoned.

However, as a minister of the Ministry of War, if he retreated because of this, it would be the tragedy of the Tang Dynasty.

The Minister of War is not afraid of death, but what he is afraid of is that the Tang Dynasty will be completely devastated!

His Majesty!

The Minister of War said loudly: This minister believes that the Shuofang incident can be postponed for a year, and it will not be too late to send troops to calm down when the Tang Dynasty regains some national strength!

The voice of the Minister of War reverberated in the Taiji Hall.

When the civil and military officials heard the words of the Minister of War, all their scalps exploded.

Although, in the eyes of other ministers, there is nothing wrong with the advice of the Minister of War.

But you need to be clear about the occasion!

The emperor just made a decision in front of the court officials, the next moment, you stand up to veto the emperor, isn't this courting death?

Immediately, the ministers near the Minister of War, subconsciously distanced themselves from the Minister of War, for fear of being angered by the emperor.

On the dragon platform, Li Si sat on the throne of the dragon chair, looked at the Minister of War, and said slowly, Aiqing, do you know what you were talking about?

From what I hear, you are speaking for Shuofang's rebellion!

Advice for treason, and treason is the same sin!

Li Si's words were like a hammer, smashing into the heart of the Minister of War.

The Minister of War was pale, without a trace of blood.

Your Majesty, this minister still believes that we should not send troops at this time.

My minister's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty can be seen by the sun and the moon. This minister is definitely not talking about rebellion. Otherwise, the minister is willing to swear to God that if there is any dissent, heaven and earth will be punished!

The words of the Minister of War made the courtiers in the hall break into a cold sweat.

They never imagined that the Minister of War was still so stubborn under the emperor's questioning!

At this moment, if the emperor decreed that the Minister of War beheaded, I am afraid no one thinks it is wrong.

madness!

Li Si's eyes fell on the Minister of War, and he snorted coldly.

Your Majesty, I have something to do.

At this moment, King Liang said loudly.

Li Si turned his eyes and looked at King Liang: What's the matter?

King Liang took a deep breath and said loudly, Your Majesty, after the Shuofang rebellion has been quelled, what should the Jiedushi of Shuofang do?

As the chief culprit of this rebellion, Shuofang Jiedushi, King Liang must understand the emperor's mind.

If the emperor wanted to stay Shuofang Jiedu for a life, King Liang had to reconsider.

After all, war has no eyes, even King Liang can't guarantee whether he can survive or not,

Not to mention Shuofang Jiedushi.

King Liang must make arrangements in advance, and strive for Liushuo Fang Jiedu's life.

When Li Si heard King Liang's words, he waved his hand and said casually: Shuofang Jiedushi? Rebellion and rebellion, kill it!

Li Si said kill it lightly, as if the target was not King Shuofang in the northwest of Megatron, but the pigs and dogs on the roadside.

When King Liang received the emperor's reply, he naturally knew something in his heart: The minister obeys the order.

The Minister of War!

Li Siwang said to the Minister of War, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and said, You are also a veteran of the court, I will spare your life and let you see whether my decision is right or wrong!

Retreat!

Li Si got up immediately and left the Taiji Temple.

Only a group of courtiers who were kneeling on the ground with their faces full of fear were left.

After a long time, the officials came to their senses.

Early in the morning, they were shocked to learn that Shuofang Jiedushi was hoarding 400,000 troops, intending to rebel, and the emperor directly sent King Liang to Shuofang to pacify.

Unconsciously, a war of nearly one million levels started quietly in the Tang Dynasty.

The court officials had different thoughts and left the Taiji Hall one after another.

Only the Minister of War was still kneeling, not daring to get up.

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing couldn't read it, so he walked in front of the Minister of the Ministry of War and sighed: Why do you say those words in the courtroom?

The Minister of Hu and the Minister of War have known each other for many years, and naturally they know that the Minister of War is loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

Since I said those words, I am ready to die.

The Minister of War smiled miserably: Your Majesty insists on starting a war, but since ancient times, the war together requires a huge amount of money!

My Tang Dynasty, I can't afford a war anymore!

The Minister of War said word by word.

The Minister of Household looked at the Minister of War.

The Minister of the Household knew that the reason why the Minister of War said these words was because the other party had no idea of ​​His Majesty's confidence.

The Minister of the Ministry of War shook his head helplessly and decided to reveal something to the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The Minister of the Chamber of Commerce lowered his voice and said, You and I have known each other for many years. I can assure you that I, the Tang treasury, have no shortage of money!

When the Minister of the Ministry of War said these words, the Minister of War was slightly surprised.

What's the meaning?

The Minister of War was puzzled!

The Minister of the Household said seriously: You should know about the recent commercial tax reform in our Tang Dynasty!

I heard something!

The Minister of War nodded.

The emperor ordered that the commercial tax be abolished. As a minister in the DPRK, of course he knew it.

Then, do you know that after the cancellation of the customs tax, I Datang is only a commercial tax every year, how many silver taels do I have?

The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce said this, paused for a moment, and lowered his voice again: At least fifty million taels!

The commercial tax alone is 50 million taels!

Think about it, is my Tang Dynasty short of money? Starting a war is not as unbearable as you think for my Tang Dynasty!

The words of the Minister of the Ministry of War made the Minister of the Ministry of War intoxicated, and the whole person fell into a deep shock!
