Chapter 6 The Queen Mother's Mind(1/2)

In Yong'an Palace.

Dan Tai Yiren stepped forward slowly, like a lady from a wealthy family, with shyness between her eyebrows.

"If my aunt hadn't been strict orders and would not allow me to use the charming technique, this little emperor would have long since fallen under my pomegranate skirt."

This thought flashed through Dan Tai Yiren's mind, and her face became softer and charming, making people feel cherished.

Li Si looked calm.

After guessing that Tan Tai Yiren might have come from the Demonic Sect, Li Si became alert in his heart. The emperor's Qi training technique was slightly activated and his mind was clear.

"What is the mother's meaning? Let me use Dan Tai Yiren and use the power of the sect behind the other party?"

Li Si thought for a moment and realized the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts.

If it was in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.

It shouldn't be so.

But at this time, after the Anshi Rebellion, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was no longer as good as before.

At this time, you should use all your strength.

Even the Demon Sect.

But Li Si didn't want to do this.

He is unwilling to have his lifelong affairs linked to interests.

Li Si has a summoning system for the world. As long as Li Si is given time, Li Si will inevitably lead the Tang Dynasty to an unprecedented peak.

After a moment.

The Queen Mother returned to Yong'an Palace.

Li Size said goodbye to the Empress Dowager.

After Li Si left.

The Queen Mother sat down slowly.

"Auntie." Tan Tai Yiren said respectfully.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Dan Tai Yiren and said, "How? How did Your Majesty treat you?"

Tan Tai Yiren hesitated: "Your Majesty has talked to me for a few words."

"It's just that I don't think that way."

Tan Tai Yiren said truthfully.

This is also what surprised her most.

Although limited by the Empress Dowager, Dan Tai Yiren did not use the charming technique.

But with her appearance, even if she does nothing, it is the greatest charm itself.

Although Li Si is the emperor, he is the emperor.

But there is the age.

Logically speaking, it cannot resist the beauty of Tan Tai Yiren.

"What a pity." The Empress Dowager sighed softly.

It seems that his son rejected her kindness.

But the Queen Mother also understands it.

As an emperor, Li Si could not follow the Empress Dowager in everything.

"Auntie, I want to try again." Dan Tai Yiren was a little unwilling to accept it.

"Please give me a chance!" said Tan Tai Yiren.

The Empress Dowager was silent for a moment when she heard this and said slowly: "It's no problem to give you another chance."

"But I am ugly in front of you. You can contact Your Majesty, but you are not allowed to use any means."

"And your Majesty's feelings towards you cannot be affected by any external force."

"Otherwise, you should know the outcome."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice.

"yes"

Tan Tai Yiren said with his head down

In the Hall of Eternal Life.

Li Si looked through the memorial.

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue is here." The eunuch, a close servant, reported.

"Let him in."

"I have met Your Majesty." The Minister of Revenue said respectfully.

Li Sigai submitted a memorial and looked up at the Minister of Revenue: "How is the progress of disaster relief in Shu?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the princes, seem to be unhappy. They have been staying in the palace and never come out." The Minister of Revenue said carefully.

"They?" Li Si smiled: "Don't worry, they will come out soon."

These princes are now staying in the palace, and they rely on their mother in Chongsheng Palace to go to Yong'an Palace to plead with the Queen Mother.

When they know the attitude of the empress dowager in Yong'an Palace, they will know what to do.

"Are there any other questions?" Li Si asked again.

The Minister of Revenue carefully looked at Li Si, and finally said, "I wonder how much silver you are going to allocate to the disaster area?"

"What does it mean?" Li Si raised his eyebrows.

"I'm not hiding it to your Majesty, the treasury is not much silver, and there are only four million taels of silver left at present." The Minister of Revenue said with a bitter face.

"Four million taels?"

Li Si was shocked.

For an ordinary family, four million taels are a wealth that they will never dare to imagine in their entire life.

But this is the Tang Dynasty treasury!

All the wealth of the Tang Empire!

In this case, it is only four million taels, which is simply too small!

“What’s the reason?”

"As the Minister of Revenue, you are in charge of the treasury. Now tell me why the treasury is just this little money?" Li Si suppressed his anger and looked directly at the Minister of Revenue.

"Your Majesty forgive me!"

"The old minister swears to heaven that every penny in the treasury has a clear place to go!"

The Minister of Revenue immediately trembled all over and knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

"A clear place to go?"

"Please see your Majesty."

"This is a record of the transfer of money from the court." The Minister of Revenue took out a book.

Li Si immediately began to read.

"In the first year of the New Calendar, Prime Minister Yuan Zai transferred one million taels of silver on the grounds of building a mansion."

"In February of the New Calendar year, Prime Minister Yuan Zai transferred 800,000 taels of silver instead of the Ministry of War to replace the armor."

"In the third month of the New Calendar, Prime Minister Yuan Zai transferred two million taels of silver on the grounds of his salary."

"In August of the New Calendar year, Prime Minister Yuan Zai had a banquet for all his ministers and transferred 500,000 taels of silver."

The more Li Si looked at him, the more frightened he became.

In just less than a year, the prime minister Yuan Zai actually remitted more than 10 million taels of silver from the national treasury.

The most ridiculous thing is that the reason for transferring silver is extremely ridiculous.

It takes one million taels to build a mansion?

What mansion did you build?

Even my palace hasn't consumed so much money, right?

There are also salaries for officials. The salaries of officials in the Tang Dynasty have never been much. How could it cost two million taels of silver?

As for the feast of the ministers?

What does this have to do with the court?

Why mobilize the treasury?
