His Highness the Crown Prince's second morning court meeting was even more terrifying than the first!

The ministers knelt on the ground, trembling fearfully for fear of offending the tyrant!

They are all used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food. Who wants to go back to the war-torn times and end up dead in the wilderness accidentally?

But if you don't take the lead in the battle, you will be cut off from your official position. Even the current Prime Minister Liu Zhongqing has just accepted the order, so how can anyone else dare to object?

This is also the brilliance of Li Yunxing.

He knows that if he proposes something new, he will inevitably be blocked.

If you don't kill the chicken once to scare the monkey, these old men will give advice again and again.

Now it directly shocked the court, but made them tremble and dare not speak.

"Since there is nothing to report, let's all retreat from the court." The prince said coldly, stood up and left.

His face was very ugly, and he was exuding gloom, which made the ministers dare not speak out in anger!

It wasn't until Li Yunxing's back disappeared from the Jinluan Palace that the ministers heaved a sigh of relief!

The prince today is really scary!

If Liu Zaifu hadn't stood up from the front, I don't know how many people would have been implicated.

But how could they know that Liu Zhongqing didn't have the same hatred in his heart.

Li Yunxing was definitely taking advantage of his tactics. Now he sent Liu Chen to the battlefield. If he could win the battle, everyone would naturally be happy.

But if he loses...the Liu family will also be buried with him!

At this time, Liu Zhongqing had just walked outside the hall when he was stopped by Luo Zipao, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Liu, Master Qi, Master Lu, and several other young masters. The prince has important matters to discuss at the Council Hall, so I would like to ask some of them to move."

Several young government officials looked at each other, and they all saw worries in each other's eyes.

What else does the prince want to talk about? Why not say it directly in the main hall?

Instead, let them go to the Council Hall alone?

The heart that had just been put down was suddenly clenched again.

"Please, please." Luo Zipao said respectfully, extending his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Although everyone was doubtful, they could not refuse.

In the government hall, the prince sat behind the desk with a look of exhaustion on his brows.

But what Liu Zhongqing didn't expect was that there was another person sitting next to him - Liu Ruxu.

When he saw Liu Ruxu, his eyes tightened, and alarm bells started ringing in his heart.

Li Yunxing naturally noticed the change in his expression, but he didn't point it out.

Liu Zhongqing was suspicious by nature, which made him extremely difficult to be deceived in court, but Liu Ruxu was his daughter and had always trusted him the most.

This was the first time that Liu Zhongqing felt a sense of danger of being betrayed.

"Old minister, see the Queen, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Liu Zhongqing stepped forward to salute, but was directly interrupted by Li Yunxing.

"Master Liu, why are you so polite? Now that you have closed the door, we are all a family, so there is no need to be so restrained."

Liu Zhongqing narrowed his eyes slightly and did not speak immediately.

Li Yunxing said with a smile: "Although I have already made arrangements for the Xiongnu in the main hall, I am always worried in my heart, just in case... sigh."

Li Yunxing sighed, his eyes flashing with sadness.

After Liu Zhongqing heard this, he looked at Li Yunxing with a deep look.

There is really nothing wrong with Li Yunxing's words, but the more they are like this, the more vigilant he becomes.

"Your Highness, what worries are there in your heart?" Lin Chengyi, the young minister, asked proactively.

Li Yunxing rubbed his eyebrows, but he was actually putting pressure on everyone present.

"I think all the ministers in the court know that the Wu Dynasty emptied the Wu Dynasty's treasury because of the treacherous villain. Now the entire treasury is empty. Once a war starts, a lot of money will be poured into it. If the war lasts for a long time,

I'm afraid the Wu Dynasty will not be able to sustain the war of attrition until it ends..." Li Yunxing said slowly.

When everyone heard this, they immediately frowned.

"That's why I want to discuss with you how to resolve this matter."

Li Yunxing's tone was very light, but it revealed majesty and dominance.

"Your Majesty is wise!" said Chen Haishan, the chief eunuch of the Young Mansion, "I believe that the battle between the Xiongnu and the Huns was indeed difficult and dangerous, and that it happened very suddenly. I am afraid that there are people who are obstructing it."

As the young man in charge of the entire foreign affairs and tax collection, money is their lifeblood.

If Li Yunxing wants to develop, it will definitely affect their interests!

These people are all smart people, so they naturally understand the powerful relationship!

"That's right! I agree with your lordship!" Zhang Zhiyi, the other chief of the Shaofu Prison, agreed, "We don't have the capital to fight a protracted war now. We all understand that the prince's desire to save the country is difficult to implement just for long-term considerations.

"

They thought that the prince regretted what he had done in court, and were preparing to persuade the prince to make peace with the Huns.

But only Liu Zhongqing understood that Li Yunxing was by no means that reckless person.

It can be seen from his performance in the main hall just now that Li Yunxing definitely made such a decision after careful consideration.

After Li Yunxing heard what they said, he caught a glimpse of Liu Zhongqing's silent look from the corner of his eye, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"That's right, so we should look for money when we are short of money. Now we are here to discuss the plan to raise money." Li Yunxing said.

"Raise money?"

Li Yunxing nodded and said: "I just checked the account books and found that there are only three thousand taels of gold left in the Wu Dynasty's treasury."

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.

Three thousand taels of gold! This is too little!

Li Yunxing glanced at them lightly and continued: "Everyone is used to being pampered and has no idea of ​​the sufferings of the people. Now that the national treasury is empty, don't you think we should come up with enough food and grass as soon as possible? Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't have to fight this battle. We

I’ll starve to death first!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

They are all important officials of the imperial court, so how could they be willing to do such a thing?

What's more, who doesn't know that this Wu Dynasty is Li's Wu Dynasty, and the gold and silver in his hands are his own gold and silver.

Now that they are suddenly asked to raise money, how should they raise it?

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate." One person tried to refute.

But before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Prince Li Yunxing.

"Presumptuous! This is an imperial edict! How can you be allowed to question it at will?"

The man fell silent for an instant, lowered his head, and did not dare to say a word again.

"Dear dear friends, you must know that raising money is not a request of this palace, but must be done for the sake of the country and the country."

Li Yunxing glanced at everyone, and they were suddenly sweating profusely.

Just now, Li Yunxing was still gentle and friendly, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to be a different person.

This makes them feel unfamiliar and intimidating.
