This scene is really ridiculous. An emperor is carefully reading the "imperial edict" prepared by his ministers.

But none of the three people in the room could laugh.

Tantai's imperial edict to restore hope was to deposit a sum of "Anhai gold" into the national treasury in the name of King Wen, and use the money to build projects throughout the country...

Build a statue of Han Dongwen?

Tantai ordered me to erect a statue of myself?

Han Dongwen looked confused and looked up at Zhong Lilin: "This... Mr. Zhong, can you explain something?"

Zhong Lilin looked Han Dongwen up and down, but his eyes lit up.

This is not the first time that he has been asked to issue an imperial edict. When has he seen it before?

When did he ask again?

It's always about the seal, that's all.

If he hadn't been afraid of being too ugly, he might have thrown the jade seal into Taishu Pavilion long ago!

"I wonder why Your Highness needs an explanation?" Zhong Lilin sat up straight.

Han Dongwen pondered for a moment and pointed to the first line: "I'm ashamed to say, I can't remember what kind of money this 'An Haijin' is."

Can not remember?

I'm afraid they have never heard of it, let alone care about it.

Zhong Lilin sneered in his heart, but still answered Han Dongwen.

"Back to Your Highness, this 'Anhai Gold' is the money left over from the National Law Department's reduction of soldiers in Haizhou. It was supposed to be returned to the National Law Department to cover other expenses."

Reduce troops...

The Department of National Law, if I remember correctly, is an agency similar to the police department in addition to the military department, the Department of National Defense.

This means that the National Law Department dismantled the Haizhou Public Security Bureau and laid off some police officers. The money saved is this Anhai Gold?

"Why did the National Justice Department decide to reduce the Haizhou soldiers..."

"I don't know."

Before Han Dongwen finished speaking, Zhong Lilin interrupted him: "If Your Highness doesn't know, then naturally I won't know either."

Han Dongwen stared at An Haijin's words and was silent for a long time.

As he watched, his eyes slowly brightened.

This money belonged to the Department of National Law, but Tantai Fu, the director-general of the Department of War, wanted to use the name of the emperor to keep the money out of the Department of National Law.

Build a statue? Just feed the dog.

this is a good news.

Good news that Han Dongwen has been waiting for a long time.

The Department of National Law and the Department of National Military Affairs are not the same company!

After imperial power, there is more than one interest group!

Chaos, as long as there is chaos, he, as a puppet, will not be dealt with first.

Only when there is chaos can we find a breathing hole from the tight darkness.

His hands were shaking a little, and he looked at the edict again.

In this fight between you and me, how can you use it to your advantage?

"I understand the matter of An Haijin."

Han Dongwen nodded.

What do you unserstand?

Zhong Lilin looked at him suspiciously, what else can you understand besides women?

Even if your character has improved in the past two days, you know how to treat your servants well, and you even acted out a master-disciple relationship, but if your intelligence is here, how can you make a difference?

"Did Taishu Pavilion bring up the construction of the statue?"

Han Dongwen pointed to another line of words: "If I guess correctly, Lord Tantai's order was just to find an excuse to spend the money, right?"

Tantaifu did not want the National Law Department to get this Anhai gold, but it could not flow to the National War Department openly.

Is this the case of Emperor Han Dongwen because Tantaifu wants to have a name?

Still saying, still saying...

Han Dongwen couldn't think clearly at the moment, but one thing was certain: Tantai Fu was not so powerful as to put the money in his pocket openly.

Zhong Lilin looked at Han Dongwen without speaking for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "Sir Tantai does not have any specific requirements. This statue is also Taishu Pavilion's proposal. Could it be that His Highness has other ideas?"

Han Dongwen's talk in the past two days left him a little confused.

How could he, Han Dongwen, think about such trivial matters?

Why did he think of it?

Han Dongwen narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.

Maybe, this is money he can use.

Use this gold and wealth to raise troops in the palace, then kill the traitors and traitors, wipe out Simeng, and give him a sunny day!

This is a joke.

Not to mention that An Haijin could get a few divisions by raising troops and mercenaries. Now, if Han Dongwen uses this money to buy a fruit knife, he will probably be exposed to Tantai Fu's eyes.

Return this money to the Department of Justice?

That is blatantly resisting Tantai Fu's order. Whether the forces of the National Law Department can support Han Dongwen is debatable. Even if he is on his side, it seems that Tantai Fu is now taking the initiative to attack the National Law Department. I am afraid that his arms cannot twist his thigh.

.

He can spend the money, but he must spend it wisely.

We need to reassure Tantai Fu, but we can't just burn it out and let the situation continue to tilt toward the National Defense Department.

Apart from the exquisite meals, this was one of the few things that made Han Dongwen realize that he had really become an emperor.

The emperor is the top management.

What should management do?

Governing the country? Maybe, but right now Han Dongwen doesn't have the ability, let alone the opportunity.

The most important thing that management should do is probably to balance - to balance the lower-level departments and not to create a situation where one side is dominant.

In the end, if the money spent can bring some benefits to Han Dongwen himself, that is the most important thing.

He really needed some time to think about it.

"Lord Zhong, can you leave this edict here and seal it after you and I discuss it tomorrow?"

he asked tentatively.

Zhong Lilin looked at him meaningfully, clasped his hands and said, "In that case, I hope your highness will make a decision as soon as possible."

——————

That night, Han Dongwen had a very strange dream.

In the dream, he was still running across the land of Simeng, but as a player.

He picked up an iron sword and used his few skills to fight his way out of the wild forest full of monsters. He had very little health left and no cooking items that could be restored.

"Whoosh!"

A hungry wolf was blocking the path.

"Broken tendon!"

The iron sword in his hand slashed the hungry wolf's hamstring, causing the beast to stumble and lose its balance.

"Dream Break·Sky Crossing!"

Familiar yet unfamiliar skill sound effects lit up, and the iron sword trembled rapidly and violently at high frequency. A rainbow-colored brilliance flashed on the sword. The next moment, Han Dongwen and his sword were like a rainbow arrow, piercing through the hungry wolf's body.

Chest!

"Ouch——!"

Before the hungry wolf died, he still breathed a sigh of relief and roared to the sky!

In the dark night, pairs of blood-red eyes lit up.

The wolves are already surrounding us.

Han Dongwen swallowed in his dream. He had used all his skills and his mana had not yet recovered.

As mentioned above, the health value is about to bottom out!

"It's finished, we have to wait for resurrection."

He smiled miserably, and suddenly an idea struck him, and he discovered that there was still another skill that could be activated.

"charge!"

He raised the iron sword in his hand high and sprinted towards the light outside the wild forest!

There is light and there are people!

The wolves roared and flew behind him, and the smell of blood on Han Dongwen's body was bitten by the tips of their noses.

The charging distance was not exaggeratedly far, and Han Dongwen only had a few seconds.

He raised his head and found that standing in front of him was a huge statue.

A statue of himself!

"No--!"

he shouted desperately.

Behind him, the wolves have arrived.
Chapter completed!
