Jiuli walked in front. Prime Minister Ye and others followed behind.
Jiuli clasped his hands behind his back. He was humming a tune and looking around when he had nothing to do.
Prime Minister Ye was walking behind him, his face almost drooped to the ground. He was shocked by Jiuli's difference today, and what Jiuli said just now made him feel a little humiliated.
Prime Minister Ye looked at Jiuli who was humming a little tune. He couldn't understand what happened to Jiuli today. He had changed so much.
Prime Minister Ye glanced at the servant next to him. The servant understood instantly and slipped away quietly.
Jiuli noticed Prime Minister Ye's actions, but she didn't care. In the face of strength, all strategies were useless.
After a while, Jiuli arrived at the Jinluan Hall. It was the place where the morning court was held. The ministers had already arrived. Jiuli heard the chattering sounds of the ministers while he was still outside.
"The Emperor has arrived~" the eunuch's sharp voice sounded.
The ministers fell silent instantly.
Prime Minister Ye followed Jiu Li into the morning court. Jiu Li walked towards the Dragon Chair, with Prime Minister Ye following behind. The expressions of the other ministers did not change at all, as if they were accustomed to this.
"Prime Minister Ye. From today on, you don't have to assist me in my morning court. I'm an adult now. Prime Minister Ye doesn't have to follow me every day." When he was about to reach the dragon throne, Jiuli turned around and looked at Prime Minister Ye.
Jiu Li deliberately came here to say it, and sure enough, Prime Minister Ye suddenly felt embarrassed. He had already come this far. Jiu Li asked him not to follow, could he not be embarrassed?
The ministers were also surprised when they heard Jiuli's words. They all raised their heads and looked at Jiuli and Prime Minister Ye.
"What? Do you want me to invite you down personally?" Jiuli looked at Prime Minister Ye who was silent with a cold face.
"What your Majesty said is that I have become more distant. Seeing that Your Majesty can be independent, I feel relieved." Prime Minister Ye adjusted his mentality and looked at Jiuli with a look of relief. He seemed to be really happy for Jiuli.
It's the same as being reassured.
"Your Majesty, you can't. The Prime Minister has assisted Your Majesty for so many years, and Your Majesty has only just reached adulthood this year. I think it would be better for Your Majesty to let the Prime Minister continue to assist Your Majesty."
Prime Minister Ye turned around and glanced at his people in the lobby, and the ministers immediately understood.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I feel that the Prime Minister has been with Your Majesty for so many years and has a lot of knowledge about the affairs of the DPRK. It might be better to have the assistance of the Prime Minister," someone else said.
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal,"
"I second the proposal,"
After a while, most of the ministers in the lobby seconded the proposal. When Prime Minister Ye saw this scene, he smiled in his heart. Banquet Li, banquet Li. Now it’s up to you what to do.
Every time someone seconded the proposal, Jiuli's face grew darker. Eventually, only a few inconspicuous ministers standing at the end of the hall remained silent.
Everyone thought that Jiuli would have nothing to do now and would continue to let Prime Minister Ye assist him in going to court.
"How presumptuous! Is it me who has the final say here or Prime Minister Ye? Do I have any rights anymore?" Jiuli patted the handle of the dragon chair angrily and looked at everyone in the lobby coldly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not what I meant."
Jiuli became angry. The ministers were so frightened that they all knelt down.
"Oh? What do you mean? Do you mean this is the Ye family's world? Not my Yan family's world?" Jiuli asked in return.
"I don't dare. I don't have this idea. Your Majesty will investigate clearly." With such a big name, how could this minister not be afraid? After all, they are all people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. And these people care about themselves the most.
gained fame.
"Hmph! Then do you, dear friends, have any objections to my decision?" Jiuli said.
"I feel that your Majesty is right. After all, the Prime Minister is a minister. Your Majesty can now act alone. I feel that I do not need to assist Your Majesty every day."
When there was silence, Prime Minister Ye finally stood up and spoke. If he didn't speak at this time, there would be no way to go down.
"Very good. Ye Aiqing has no objections. Does anyone else have any objections?" Jiuli nodded with satisfaction and said to the others.
"I have no objection."
"I have no objection."
From the minister's second opinion just now, it suddenly became no objection. The others also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the prime minister himself spoke out. Otherwise, they would be embarrassed.
"Very good. All my dear friends, please get up. After all, I have always been very considerate of my subjects. With your appearance, people who don't know may think that I am bullying you."
Jiulipi said to everyone in the lobby with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers stood up one by one. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Jiuli's appearance. They all felt that Jiuli had a seizure today, and he suddenly changed so much.
"If you have something to report, please leave the court if there is nothing to do," Jiuli said, looking at the ministers who had calmed down.
Such a big thing just happened. How could these people dare to speak? No one wanted to take advantage of the situation, so no one spoke.
"In the past, there were a lot of big and small things happening every day. Why didn't anyone say anything today?" Jiuli's eyes scanned everyone's body equally.
However, the ministers buried their heads lower and became quieter.
"Very good. Since my dear friends have nothing to say, let me say it." Jiuli smiled and looked at everyone.
Everyone's hearts suddenly tightened.
"If the national treasury is in deficit, if I remember correctly, many of my dear friends have borrowed money from the treasury. I think everyone is living a good life. There is nothing wrong in the country. In this case, then those who owe money
My dear friends, why not return the money as soon as possible."
Jiuli looked at everyone in the lobby. Eighty percent of them had borrowed money from the treasury. When the late emperor was here, the treasury was still full. But in the past few years, the treasury has been depleted and cannot be emptied anymore. How can it be?
Even the emperor like him is so poor.
How can you start a business without money, so Jiuli's first thing is to collect money.
...The ministers were silent... Why were they suddenly asked to pay back the money? Their expressions were as ugly as eating shit. They didn't say anything. Anyway, the emperor couldn't remember who owed money. They would never take the initiative to stand up.
"Isn't anyone taking the initiative? Wang Aiqing, I order you to bring me all the bills you owe to me at court today." Jiuli saw that no one was speaking. He turned to look at the Minister of Household Affairs.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance broke out in a cold sweat instantly. No surprise. He was also a member of Prime Minister Ye, otherwise how could he have lent out so much money.
The Secretary of the Household Department glanced at Prime Minister Ye with some fear. Seeing that Prime Minister Ye had no reaction, he had no choice but to step out and talk to Jiuli.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Very good. I hope all of you, my beloved, will pay back the money consciously. Otherwise, I will come to collect the debt personally. But it will not be so easy to talk to. Retreat from the court, everyone." Jiuli said to the ministers threateningly.
