Immediately afterwards, several officials jumped out one by one, but it was not a big deal.
——This one said that his hometown sent him a message that this year's early harvest was 20% more than in previous years. This is because the emperor's grace was so great that his blessings overshadowed his hometown.
A group of people knelt down and shouted long live.
Qi Baoer was also dragged by Shang Chengfeng until she almost knelt down.
She didn't quite understand this procedure when she went to court on the first day, and she didn't realize it for a while.
——The one who said that an extremely large piece of jade was discovered on a certain mountain. The natural state of the jade is like an immortal ascending to the sky. This is a sign from heaven, indicating that our country, Qilin, is a land of outstanding people and the emperor is the proper emperor.
Qi Baoer: "..." How does this have anything to do with it?
No matter how you pull it off, it is the sound of hundreds of officials kneeling down and shouting long live.
This time Qi Bao'er was well prepared, and his squatting was no slower than others.
For nearly an hour, they were talking nonsense like this, then squatting and getting up, getting up and squatting again.
Is this what it means to go to court?
If she comes tomorrow, her surname will not be Qi.
Finally, when Qi Baoer's patience was about to run out, someone moved in the row she was standing in, and a general standing on the other side of her stood up.
This person's speech was not so round and round. He did not speak directly, but it was almost the same as saying directly: Your Majesty, I want military pay.
Qi Baoer and Shang Chengfeng were indeed able to work together, and both of them immediately looked at Master Ling, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Ling Buqun, whose mind was wandering, shivered violently. Why did he feel like he was being targeted by a wild beast?
This chill brought the man back to his senses, and he happened to hear the last few words spoken by the general.
Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, who was extremely sensitive to small amounts of money, looked at the general and analyzed his words, and immediately knew that this guy was asking him for money.
"The household department has no money." He said nothing and left.
The military general was anxious, "Every time when military pay is distributed, the Ministry of Revenue says there is no money. There is no money. Where have all the taxes paid by various places gone every year?"
I just pointed at his nose and said he was greedy.
Can Ling Buqun tolerate this kind of slander?
That designation cannot.
This girl put her hands on her hips, as if she wanted to fight with someone.
"You guys, all tall but not smart, only see how much taxes come in from the Ministry of Revenue every year, but you don't see how much the Ministry of Revenue goes out every year?
Your annual salary is not money? The monthly benefits you receive are not money? There is a disaster somewhere, and the money and food provided for disaster relief are not money?
In order to deplete the land of money, the treasury would always be empty at the end of the year with just a few taxes a year.
Besides, which year do I owe you military pay?"
Many military generals are stupid, and they were really confused by Ling Buqun's words for a moment.
It felt like something was wrong, but for a moment I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I was so anxious that my face turned red and my neck was thick, and I was breathing heavily.
Most military generals don't have as many worries as civilian officials. They like to be straightforward and more united.
Seeing that the general who stood out was so beaten that he couldn't take any moves, another one immediately stood up.
"What Ling Shangshu said is true. It is true that the Ministry of Household Affairs has never owed any military pay to the military every year. But Lord Ling, do you really not know or are you bluffing us? In which year has the military pay been handed over on time?
I am waiting outside to fight the enemy with my life, and you are delaying our military pay for a month or two, but you understand that it is equivalent to taking our lives."
Wow, these are serious words.
The emperors of the Qilin Kingdom have always valued martial arts over literature. It is not obvious, but this can be seen in the small details of the emperor's actions as long as the officials are not stupid.
Now, some military generals have come forward to accuse the Minister of Hubu of harming military commanders, or even the first army. If this accusation is found true, not to mention that one of the ministers will lose his position, and all the nine tribes may be implicated.
Not only Ling Buqun's expression changed, but also the expressions of many civil servants changed drastically.
They looked at the general who was speaking and said, "So you are this kind of person."
It seems that not all military commanders are straight-minded. Look at this guy, doesn’t he want to kill Ling Shangshu’s family as soon as he opens his mouth?
Prime Minister Zheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, Prime Minister Zuo frowned slightly and then loosened his eyebrows. Shang Chengfeng curled his lips with unknown meaning and prayed for Bao'er. Qi Bao'er stood expressionless.
The person who spoke was so stunned that he was stared at. Did he say something wrong?
However, Ling Buqun, who had been the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs for several years and had been threatened countless times by Jiang Jiang Niang Niang, said that he was still able to hold his own, but the hand that had been placed on his waist in an invisible way had been put down at some point.
He said with a sad face: "General Gui, you don't know my difficulties. The national treasury really can't come up with it, and I can't help it.
Every time you don't have enough military pay, I go around begging grandpa and complaining to grandma. I don't expect you to thank me for this.
You are all heroes. You fought bloody battles to defend our country, Qilin. I, Ling Buqun, admire you. But if the national treasury has it, how can I withhold military pay?
What good does it do to me?"
I saw several officials from the household department visibly heaving a sigh of relief, and then I saw the military generals holding their breath and not knowing how to explain.ъiqugetvt
Qi Baoer: "..."
Dear friends, you are here to ask for military pay. Remember the key point, you are asking for military pay. You are not here to care about the difficulties of the Minister of Revenue. He has diverted the topic.
The two generals retreated murmuring, and before retreating, they even made a complaint to the emperor.
In this battle, Hubu Shangshu won.
Conspicuously, the temperament of the generals in this row has dropped a lot, as if a thin layer of cloud has accumulated above this row.
This performance is like opening the valve for talking about serious business. Anyone who comes forward later will no longer talk nonsense, no matter how big or small it is.
However, these are not very important matters, at least in Qi Bao'er's eyes, they are not worthy of being mentioned in court.
Therefore, the longer she stood, the less interested she became, and her eyelids started to fight.
until··
Jing Zhaoyi stood up and said that a perverted, murderous and crazy demon appeared in Yang'an City.
The reason why this person is said to have changed his mind is that the murderer sneaked into the boudoir of the girl's house in the middle of the night and abducted the girl. Three days later, he promptly returned the kidnapped girl's body to the victim's father and relatives in the house.
superior.
The murderer doesn't want anything and won't contact the victim's family. He just commits crimes every few days as if he is just interested.
Yang'an City is one of the five cities, close to the capital. Such a perverted murder occurred, and the victims were basically either girls from wealthy merchants or officials. Naturally, the case shocked the capital.
Jingzhao Mansion.
It's just that the murderer acted very cautiously and his crime techniques were sophisticated, so he never left any valuable traces. Even if people from Jingzhao Mansion were dispatched, troubles would continue to happen when they should.
No, Jing Zhaoyi couldn't stand it anymore and took the matter directly to the court.
The emperor did not express his position directly, but asked: "What do you, my beloved ministers, think about this matter?"
