Prince Xia Bao could no longer control the expression on his face and said stiffly: "Father, since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for a prince to serve as the right minister of the imperial court!"
Emperor Xia looked at the prince with a half-smile, his eyes firm: "Because this summer was not mine before!"
"Don't we just need to set a precedent?"
"In Xiaojiu's words, it should be called innovation!"
When the prince heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. Was he preparing to say that he would never leave Lao Jiu?
"So, what do you think?"
This is the second time Emperor Xia has asked Xia Tian to return to the imperial capital to serve!
Moreover, it is the position of right minister of the imperial court!
Last time, millions of untouchables and refugees poured into the deserted state in Xia Tian. Therefore, no matter what his intentions were, Emperor Xia had to let Xia Tian go back.
However, when he asked Prince Xia Bao for his opinion again, it showed that he had made up his mind.
Of course, there is still a certain amount of flexibility when it comes to returning to the imperial capital in the summer.
Because it must be done after the deserted state is stabilized.
Eunuch Wei had been with Emperor Xia for twenty years, so he naturally knew what Emperor Xia was thinking. A strange light flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head, looked at his nose and his heart, as if he was thinking about something?
Sima Jian also understood the firmness in Emperor Xia's tone!
Only the prince felt awkward beyond words.
Of course he did not dare to disobey Emperor Xia, so he could only grind his teeth and swallow the blood in his stomach: "The ninth brother is extremely intelligent. If he can serve as the right prime minister of the empire, he will be a blessing to the empire!"
"But, Father, if the Nine Princes' brother comes back from Huangzhou and takes up the post of Prime Minister Right, what will Huangzhou do?"
Emperor Xia said seriously: "Of course he is in charge of his fiefdom!"
"He guards Huangzhou, he selects the officials of Huangzhou's palace, he is in charge of the people's livelihood in Huangzhou, he implements the government of Huangzhou, and he builds the army of Huangzhou. Only he can Defend Huangzhou under the gaze of the Sirius Empire!"
"So, even if he becomes the right prime minister in the court, Huangzhou will still be unable to do without him."
Emperor Xia's words cannot be ignored.
"yes!"
Sima Jian said seriously: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true!"
"It's just that the situation in this deserted state is not very clear now!"
"So, I think we should ask His Highness the King of Huangzhou!"
"If we are too impatient to transfer him back from the Barren State and something happens, it will be a major event that will shake the country!"
After Sima Jian finished speaking, Emperor Xia knew that he was still too impatient!
"Why!"
Emperor Xia sighed quietly: "It's not that I'm impatient, it's that the government treasury no longer has money, and the officials' salaries can't be paid out!"
"All the plans of the Daxia Empire will be stopped due to lack of money and food!"
at this time.
The voice of the Minister of Household Affairs came from outside the imperial study room: "Your Majesty, I would like to see you!"
Hearing this voice, Emperor Xia had a headache.
During this period, whenever this voice appears, it wants money!
He really doesn't want to see me!
But, I can’t help but see this person!
If this old guy quits, he will have even more headaches.
At this time, Emperor Xia's majestic face became stiff, and his tone was helpless: "Come in!"
"According to the order!"
Introduction to the Book of the Ministry of Revenue: "Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
"I was just outside the Imperial Study Room and heard that Your Majesty wants to summon His Royal Highness the King of Huangzhou into the imperial court to serve as Right Minister?"
Emperor Xia said bluntly: "I have this idea!"
The Minister of Hubu was overjoyed: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"If the King of Huangzhou can enter the imperial capital and serve as the right minister of the Great Xia Empire, then the treasury of our Great Xia Empire will no longer be empty!"
Emperor Xia's face was complicated: "You mean to agree with my Xiaojiu's entry into the court as the right prime minister!"
"certainly!"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue said with a serious face: "I have been watching the affairs of Huangzhou. Although I dare not say anything about whether King Huangzhou's governance of Huangzhou is appropriate, I believe that King Huangzhou's ability to make money is unparalleled in the world. Not that I can match him. of!"
"So, the veteran naturally supports it!"
"So, please Your Majesty, please immediately summon the King of Huangzhou to serve in the imperial capital!"
"Hahaha"
Emperor Xia smiled happily: "Originally, I thought I was just impatient!"
"I didn't expect you, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, to be more anxious than me!"
The Minister of Hubu said seriously: "Your Majesty, there is no hurry!"
"Our treasury is now empty. If there are no more talented people entering the dynasty to earn money for the court, the salary of the Great Xia Dynasty will not be paid out next month!"
Emperor Xia said with a sigh on his face: "Yes!"
"We are poor!"
"So, Xiaojiu must enter the court as soon as possible!"
"Prince, what do you think?"
Xia Bao gave Shangshu Hubu a deep look: "Is Hubu no longer able to do anything?"
Over the past few days, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance has been on the verge of a mental breakdown. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Your Highness, if you can fill the emptiness of the treasury and allow the imperial court to issue next month's salary, then I will withdraw it." What I just said!"
Prince: ""
Old guy, you are like a mother if you have breasts!
This prince will keep it in mind!
The Minister of Household Affairs is not afraid!
Emperor Xia then said: "Last time, when Xiaojiu was in the imperial capital, he reminded me that due to this year's natural disasters, all countries in the mainland are short of food, and there may be a war sweeping the continent!"
"Then, the imperial court used spies hidden in various countries!
"It turns out that all the countries in the mainland are preparing for war as Xiaojiu said."
The more Emperor Xia spoke, the more solemn his expression became: "Now, I tell you, Xiaojiu's guesses are about to become a reality!"
"The war sweeping the continent is coming!"
"Are you panicking?"
To be honest, Emperor Xia was a little panicked!
All the officials in the Daxia court were panicked!
Because Daxia’s treasury is now empty!
I want money but I don’t have money, I want food but I don’t have food!
However, everyone in Daxia knew that the old grains in the granaries of wealthy families were almost rotting, but no one dared to say so.
Emperor Xia also knew that Daxia's noble families, aristocratic families, and wealthy families had food in their granaries!
However, the great families, aristocratic families, and wealthy families of the Great Xia Empire are the cornerstone of his emperorship, and they are immovable existences!
As long as one family is touched, everyone in the world, including aristocratic and wealthy families, will be in danger!
His throne will be unstable!
Therefore, the Jue team cannot shake the foundation of the empire!
But if the food of this group of people is not touched, then whose food is touched?
For the poor people in the world?
They don’t even have enough to eat themselves!
How did the millions of refugees from Huangzhou come here this time?
Isn't it all because of natural disasters and tax increases that people at the bottom have no way to survive, and they have to leave their hometowns, and those who sell their children embark on the road of migration and go to barren states?
Therefore, the court needs people to earn money for the treasury to maintain the operation of the empire!
Therefore, this person must be the "little money-making expert" Huangzhou King.
At this time, Emperor Xia had made up his mind!
However, he still asked cautiously: "Xiao Chunzi, according to what you saw in Huangzhou, will Huangzhou be in chaos?"
Xiao Chunzi thought for a while and said seriously: "Will there be chaos?"
Suddenly, everyone in the royal study was shocked!
