This martial saint is too generous

Chapter 208 Live for the common people and live up to this life

"That's right! A heroic young man, brave and resourceful! You have grown up through hardships and can best understand the difficulty of life for the common people. I hope you can have the common people in mind and become the pillar of the country as soon as possible... Live for the common people and live up to this life!"

Mu Shidi didn't say much, just a few words to encourage the younger generation.

Many people were also staring here, but when they saw that Mu Shidi just said a polite word, they stopped paying attention.

This ordinary young man is qualified to meet the saint because of his meritorious service in Qiji City. He has no background. I heard that he is a green man.

Mu Shidi was the previous governor of Yundong Province, and it was normal for the two of them to chat with each other for a few words.

Qin Jinyang nodded, cupped his fists and bowed again.

It is no secret that I have grown up in pain. Since I am qualified to face the Holy Spirit, all the information about my job as a handyman at Helan Villa must have been dug up.

After the words fell, Mushidi went to another place.

As expected of the famous man in front of the emperor, all the old men in official uniforms were smiling and saluting the imperial envoy with clasped fists.

Even those officials who had a higher status than Mushidi took the initiative to talk and flattered him in various ways, creating a harmonious scene in a peaceful and prosperous age.

Mu Zhihe stayed beside Qin Jinyang and did not follow his father.

He is a student of Yuzhi Academy and has no official position. Strictly speaking, he belongs to the common people.

Although several young people gathered together, they were not allowed to open their mouths to talk, and they only communicated with their eyes.

Soon, Fang Shouzhi also came and stood beside Qin Jinyang.

More young people gathered one after another. After seeing Fang Shou, there was a subtle change in their eyes.

Of course, in the important place of the palace, people's expressions are extremely cautious, and they don't have any special emotions.

…

"Called Mu Zhihe, summoned Zhang Shijing, summoned... summoned Qin Jinyang, summoned, summoned, summoned... summoned Fang Shouzhi... to enter the palace to meet the saint..."

The eunuch held the imperial edict, and the sharp voice spread in the air.

"According to the order!"

Qin Jinyang and the others all bent their waists at ninety degrees to show their respect for the imperial power.

After getting up, the group of people lowered their heads and followed the eunuch towards the Golden Palace.

When passing through the group of important officials, he had to face all kinds of powerful auras. Qin Jinyang actually had the illusion that he was passing through a storm zone, and his whole body ached.

He observed Mu Zhi and them again.

the same.

The young people's faces were ugly.

Fang Shouzhi was unhappy.

Obviously, when the decree was passed just now, his name was placed at the end, which was a sign that the Fang family was no longer favored.

Qin Jinyang's name is in fifth place, not too high, but not too low either.

Mu Zhihe's name was at the top of the imperial edict, which shows the importance of this single-army expedition case.

…

"My lords, the emperor asks you to come in too."

The eunuch put away the imperial edict and shouted to a group of court officials.

"According to the order!"

A group of courtiers bowed down.

The expressions of this group of people became much more relaxed. After all, it was just an ordinary work check-in.

…

Qin Jinyang and other young people were the first batch of people to meet the saint, and they actually walked in front of the ministers.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Jinluan Palace.

At the entrance of the main hall, Qin Jinyang actually saw a familiar spiritual object.

I care about my mother.

Golden Sutra leaves.

Why are you using Golden Sutra leaves as potted plants?

Although it is not the Jade Vein Golden Sutra Leaves, it is still the Golden Sutra Leaves. The master has endured all his life just for these few elixirs.

Is there any royal law, is there law, is there morality.

The defense is broken.

Really broken defense.

Following the crowd, Qin Jinyang entered the majestic and empty Jinluan Hall, but the golden light was shining brightly.

Mixed in the crowd, Qin Jinyang raised his head and looked down quickly.

The dragon chair was high up, far away from me.

There are many eunuchs in front of the dragon chair, as well as several rows of guards with swords. Their cultivation levels are terrifying and unfathomable.

Qin Jinyang also saw his acquaintance Eunuch Han.

But Eunuch Han's status seems to be nothing more than this.

Among a group of eunuchs, Eunuch Han was the one farthest from the emperor.

But having said that, this is the Golden Palace, the highest palace of all eunuchs in the world. If you can stand here, you are already a eunuch on the top of the pyramid.

"Long live, long live, long live my emperor!"

Qin Jinyang mingled with the group of people and knelt down to kowtow.

Although he was a little unhappy, the other party was the emperor after all.

It is true that a man should have gold at his knees, but life is obviously more valuable than gold.

"Get flat!"

The emperor opened Chrysostom.

"Thank you Holy Grace!"

Everyone stood up, but everyone lowered their heads. No one dared to look directly at the emperor, and Qin Jinyang was not a standout either.

…

The next process...reward!

The emperor remained silent throughout the whole process, as if that mouth was really Chrysostom.

The eunuch announced the rewards to the young men.

Whoever's name is read should kneel down and give thanks.

Soon, it was Qin Jinyang's turn.

Qin Jinyang, like the screw workers on the assembly line, knelt down to thank him.

Eunuch Han's face was like a lump of old ice. When he saw Qin Jinyang, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

I thought about a lot of rewards, but they were just reputations, similar to various certificates, and there were not many real valuable physical treasures.

Fortunately, the Origin Heart Pill does exist.

Finally, Qin Jinyang officially received the title of Flying General Beiying. At the same time, many properties in Qi Qicheng were transferred to his name, including the residence of Flying General Beiying, which had been reduced to ruins.

In Kyoto, Northern Eagle Flying General also has a mansion.

Qin Jinyang felt ecstatic in his heart.

Do I have a house in Beijing?

What I never dared to think about in my previous life, I actually have a yard in this life.

If it weren't for the Jinluan Hall, the height would have to be akimbo.

…

Next, it was still boring to recite the imperial edict.

Qin Jinyang is already a third-level warrior, but his neck is still sore after standing with his head down for so long.

Very boring.

Fortunately, I can practice quietly, and the energy in my Dantian has increased a bit.

This Jinluan Palace is also very simple.

Finally, the young men who received the reward thanked each other one by one, and Fang Shouzhi came to the last one.

His achievements were impressive, but his rewards seemed rather sloppy.

Of course, Fang Shouzhi also got a Source Heart Pill.

When he came back, he also had his head lowered, as inferior and withdrawn as ever, and didn't even look at anyone... Maybe he didn't dare to face those weird looks.

…

After reading out the rewards for the young men, the eunuch in charge did not let them go out and just stood there.

The ministers began to read memorials.

This scene reminded Qin Jinyang of the disgusting days of reading PPT during meetings.

A senior official cried and complained that his government salary was in arrears for several months, and asked the treasury to allocate money.

Some officials were very sad because of the unfavorable year and various natural and man-made disasters, so they requested the treasury to allocate money.

There are also letters from senior officials of the Ministry of War, saying that rebellions have been breaking out in various places recently, requesting the treasury to allocate money and recruit troops to suppress them.

There is also a border fall, requesting the treasury...

The disaster is unusual, please request the treasury...

The weapons and equipment of the frontier army are outdated, and they are requesting the treasury...

There has just been an earthquake in a province, and we are requesting the treasury...

Not to mention the emperor, Qin Jinyang had a splitting headache just listening to it.

Is the dynasty already in such danger?

After listening to the court for a while, he actually had the illusion that the dynasty would collapse tomorrow.

Want money...

This seems to be the only theme of the court.

The above reasons are quite valid, but some of the reasons for asking for money are simply off the mark.

The imperial mausoleum has not been repaired for three years. It has fallen into disrepair and needs money for repairs...

It's only been three years and the paint is still reflective. What repairs are needed?

It’s time for the emperor to select women among the people, and it’s time to take concubines...

Several small countries not even big enough came to pay tribute. The court showed the majesty of a big country and wanted double the rewards and... money.

The old Queen Mother is about to pass her birthday, and the officials are watching the stars at night. This time it needs to be done in a grand way...

…

I'm crazy.

When is it time for Du Nima, we should double the tribute from small countries.

The Queen Mother celebrates her birthday every year, and the preparation time takes two months. The birthday banquet begins and lasts for one month.

The banquet is extravagant and wasteful, wasting people and money...

The immortal thing comes and goes, and you are living your life all year round.

The top priority is that there is an earthquake. The affected provinces must be littered with corpses. Why don't we rush to provide disaster relief?

At this time, the emperor actually wants to recruit girls and take concubines...

Why do you still want to find a concubine?

Everything seems to be a trivial matter: earthquakes.

This is not even funny. The funniest thing is the emperor’s reason for accepting concubines...

The emperor took concubines to pray for the disaster-stricken people.

Qin Jinyang really opened his eyes when the machete pulled his butt.

The most urgent disaster relief actually depends on the emperor choosing a concubine to pray to God?

The magic of true Nima.

Why don't you send all the concubines from San Gong and Liu Yuan to the disaster area? Why don't you pray on the spot?

Unfortunately, Qin Jinyang could only curse a few words in his mind.

He is not an emperor, and his influence is too weak.

If you think about it more carefully, in fact, the projects for which officials want money are just fat jobs.

To choose a concubine, you can ask for a bribe.

When organizing a birthday banquet, you can collude with businessmen to get food and get cards.

Only earthquake relief is provided in the province, which is a hard job. Although the money can be deducted, there are too many eyes staring at it, and it is inconvenient to do it.

This bloated dynasty is rotten to the core and deserves to be riddled with holes.

…

After reading the memorial, a group of important ministers waited for the emperor to curse.

In fact, the officials are not counting on the treasury. After all, no one knows better than them how empty the treasury is.

They just expressed an attitude to the emperor... I am very miserable, and this official position is very tiring.

The emperor has long been accustomed to this group of drama queens.

The eunuch took out the imperial edict again.

There was too much negative energy in Jinluan Hall just now, now I want to read some inspiring things.

Reading out the achievements of the imperial envoy Mushidi can make people feel relieved.

The eunuch finished reciting the merits and began to recite the rewards.

The rewards are many.

But most of them are all kinds of illusory titles, false honors, and real material rewards, which can be said to be rare.

Qin Jinyang is used to it.

This emperor is the most proficient chef in the world.

…

"Report..."

The eunuch in charge held the imperial edict and had not yet finished reading out the reward for the imperial envoy.

Suddenly, an eunuch hurried over like a mad dog. When he stepped into the Jinluan Palace, he almost fell down. He took advantage of the situation and threw himself to the ground, kowtowing directly to the emperor.

"Bold, panic...what's going on!"

The eunuch in charge still held the imperial edict with both hands and spoke sharply.

The eunuch who just ran in had a special identity. He was a messenger eunuch specially appointed by the late emperor for emergency services.

The late emperor was afraid that future kings would be greedy for pleasure and delay business.

In theory, even if the emperor is doting on his concubine, the emergency eunuch can knock on the door and report the news.

The expressions of all the officials in the court were solemn.

When the eunuch from the emergency department breaks in, something big must have happened.

"Your Majesty forgives me, Your Majesty forgives me... Eight hundred miles of rush, the Eastern Front was defeated, 300,000 troops on the frontier were killed, and three cities fell..."

"The general who defended the city committed suicide to apologize."

Blood dripped from the eunuch's mouth, and he hurriedly wiped the spotless floor clean with his sleeves.

I have to admit that the messenger eunuch's professional ability is extremely superb. He even ran to the point where he vomited blood, but his speech was still clear.

…

"Asshole... why are you so vulnerable? Do I have a bunch of losers!"

The emperor cursed angrily.

Suddenly, a pressure that was more terrifying than a hydraulic press spread, and the air in Jinluan Hall began to feel cold.

Qin Jinyang's heart suddenly stopped.

"Please calm down, Your Majesty, I am waiting for the death penalty!"

All the officials in the court immediately knelt down.

Qin Jinyang was still in a daze. Mu Zhihe beside him quietly grabbed him and knelt down together.

"Tell me... give me a reason for defeat... where are the people from the Ministry of War?"

This time the emperor was really angry, and his tone was different from the previous curses.

"General Zhang just returned to Beijing and asked for an interview!"

The eunuch who sent the message knelt on the ground and said again.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Qihe is a partial general of the border army..."

The senior officer of the Ministry of War swallowed, his throat burning.

"The guilty minister Zhang Qihe...faces the saint!"

The voice of the chief eunuch penetrated the Jinluan Palace.

…

sparse.

Soon, the Forbidden Army ran in carrying a bloody figure.

This man was still in armor, his blood had dried up, and the smell was astounding to his nostrils... The most shocking thing was that his legs were chopped off, and the bones and wounds were intertwined, making it extremely ugly.

"The guilty minister pays homage to the Holy One, long live our emperor!"

Zhang Qihe's legs were damaged and he couldn't kneel down, so he lay on the ground and cried loudly.

"Tell me...why the whole front was defeated!"

The emperor stood up for the first time, his voice getting colder and colder.

"Back to the Holy Spirit... The food and pay for the border troops are not enough, so the brothers are hungry. If they are injured, they don't even have any healing medicine, so they can only wait to die..."

"Seeing that the enemy's army was approaching, the rebels were also deceiving the public with their internal lies. In addition, the rebels gave the soldiers free food, so many soldiers betrayed before the battle, and our border army dispersed as soon as it was defeated."

Zhang Qihe's expression was distorted as he cried.

Damn it!

The rebels actually gave the soldiers free food. This move was too poisonous.

All the officials in the court looked at me and I looked at you, and there was total silence.

silver!

Silver again.

The troops on all sides were short of money and had insufficient food to eat.

How long will the treasury be empty?

…

"Your Majesty... I want to impeach the imperial envoy M Shidi... He embezzled dirty money in Shanhu Province and enriched himself!"

Suddenly, a speaker stood out from the crowd.

He raised his arm and pointed his finger at Mushidi righteously.

"What?"

All the officials were in an uproar.

Mu Zhihe glared at Yan Guan, biting his lips, his face darker than the bottom of a pot.

Qin Jinyang stared at Mu Shidi in astonishment.

Actually... he is a corrupt official?

Mu Zhihe had told himself that the original intention of naming Mu Shidi was to keep him grounded.

Are you actually a corrupt official?

Mu Shi was expressionless, just staring at the speaker coldly without saying a word.

"I have witnesses who can prove that the imperial envoy enriched his own pockets and embezzled 30% of the dirty money found by Shan Huxing."

Yan Guan continued.

"Since there are witnesses, why don't we report them to you immediately? How long will we let your Majesty wait?"

A minister standing at the front had no expression on his face, and he scolded faintly.

"Call...witnesses!"

Seeing that the emperor was speechless, the eunuch in charge understood and shouted again.

The officials of the Criminal Department are already gearing up.

There were also many people with dark eyes, staring at Mu Shidi, with shock on the surface but ridicule on the inside.

…

"Don't call me a witness...I won't deny it. I did deduct 30% of the dirty money!"

Suddenly, Mu Shidi stood up on his own.

"Bold...Mu Shidi, as an imperial envoy, how can you bear to live up to His Majesty's hard work and you still don't apologize!"

The leader was immediately furious. With his beard and hair flying, he angrily scolded Mu Shidi on the spot and was heartbroken at the same time.

The whole place was in an uproar again.

…

Qin Jinyang couldn't help but look at Mu Shidi.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he even secretly glanced at the emperor.

Uh... In fact, he is a relatively handsome middle-aged man, but the emperor has a way of freezing his age, so he is actually an old man...

What shocked Qin Jinyang the most was Mu Shidi.

He is really a corrupt criminal.

Thirty percent was also embezzled.

What a huge number this is.

Qin Jinyang glanced at Mu Zhihe beside him again.

The boy clenched his fists, his face full of dissatisfaction.

This matter...may not be simple.

…

"Mu Shidi, give me an explanation!"

The emperor maintained the calmness expected of a nine-five-year-old man, but his words were full of disappointment.

"Your Majesty... Shan Huxing, the former governor of the province, wasted no time on human life and did not care about the lives of the people. Millions of people were displaced. The imperial envoy could not bear the people to starve to death, so he decided to open warehouses to release grain and leave grain seeds for the next year to the people. …”

"The Imperial Envoy didn't enrich his own pockets, he distributed everything to the people."

An official ran out and knelt on the ground, kowtowing.

…

I see.

Sure enough, this matter is strange.

Suddenly, Qin Jinyang felt that Mu Shidi was a little reckless.

The mission of the imperial envoy is to investigate official corruption, and disaster relief is not your responsibility.

Each court office has a strict set of procedures.

Disaster relief food must be uniformly distributed by the emperor.

wrong.

Mu Shidi had no choice but to do so.

If all this batch of dirty silver grain is transported back to the capital, will it still be able to reach the people of Danhuxing Province?

Although, there are places where food is more needed.

But these grains are the sweat of the people's hard work, so they can't starve to death...

But Mu Shidi behaves like this...

…

"Distribute it to the people?"

"Chief Mu Qin, is the dirty silver your salary? Are you just going to give it out without permission?"

"Even if you don't enrich your own pockets, are you qualified to distribute money from the national treasury?"

"If you can even decide how to distribute the treasury, then who do you think the Holy One is?"

Another official stood up, filled with righteous indignation, as if Mu Shidi was his father-killing enemy.

"Bold, Mu Shidi, you are committing the crime of deceiving the emperor...you deserve death!"

Sure enough, many high-ranking officials got together and started to complain about Shidi.

"Mu Shidi, I have long heard that you are arbitrary and authoritarian. You are so obsessed with power. Are you... planning to rebel?"

Finally, a huge hat fell down.

…

Qin Jinyang was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly felt a chill, a chill that went to his bones.

This chill came from Mu Zhihe.

His own father was accused of treason, so how could he calm down?

Qin Jinyang quietly pressed Mu Zhihe's arm.

There are so many rewind guards, and if you dare to have a hint of murderous intention, you will immediately become a corpse.

Damn it.

The imperial envoy who was so proud just now suddenly rebelled.

Sure enough, your mouth can kill.

It doesn't exist, it's simply incomprehensible.

Qin Jinyang reacted again.

Damn it.

This is a trap.

Mu Shidi destroyed an interest group, although on the surface he had suppressed the three governor clans, and the culprits had been brought to justice.

But without the protection of higher officials, how dare the governor engage in unscrupulous corruption?

The imperial envoy can kill the governor, but he cannot kill the cabinet elders, the left and right prime ministers...and perhaps the princes and princes.

Now, the hand behind the scenes wants to take revenge.

If this hand does not establish authority, no one will dare to be his yin dog in the future.

tool!

Mu Shi Di is a tool.

It is a tool for the game between the imperial power and the officials.

…

Qin Jinyang secretly observed the emperor.

He didn't know what the emperor was thinking, maybe... maybe he was disappointed with Mushidi.

He was not disappointed with the 30% dirty silver.

But he was disappointed that the imperial envoy he trusted was a waste.

If you use dirty silver without authorization, you will have flaws as a tool.

How could the emperor get rid of a broken weapon?
