Zhou Mi waved his hand.
Xu Yunshen stood up slowly, and then carefully retreated. He waited until he was outside the hall before he dared to turn around and retreat.
Zhou Mi's eyes once again fell on the piece of paper on the Long Case.
But I always feel more and more annoyed as I watch it.
Pick up the pen from the side and gently cross out the three words above. Then I felt better.
"Sure enough, that's the only way it's pleasing to the eye!"
When you're finished, put the thing aside.
I started to deal with some matters related to the Great Court Meeting again.
This is an annual large-scale gathering, and many messy things have to be dealt with, not only the trivial matters of Dazhou, but also many other vassal states coming to Dazhou.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, Jiang Ye came up and said: "Jin Boyong, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, wants to see you!"
"Kim Boyong?"
There was a bit of curiosity in Zhou Mi's eyes. After pondering for a moment, he continued: "What is he here for?"
Jiang Ye didn't speak.
"Let him in!"
Zhou Mi nodded and gently held his forehead. This Minister of Household Affairs was actually relatively unpopular. Every time he came to his place, nine times out of ten, it was to ask for money, and Da Zhou We have just experienced several major battles, and now the treasury is empty!
Where can I find so much money?
Not long passed.
Jin Boyong came into the room and hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "Old minister - Jin Boyong, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Get up!"
Zhou Mi asked with a smile: "Why did you come to me?"
"Your Majesty, the Turks, Uighurs, Khitans, Tiele and other vassal states have entered the divine capital in the past few days!" Jin Boyong said cautiously: "Moreover, they have all submitted their credentials, which record this imperial visit. Please ask your Majesty to take a look at the items and quantities!"
While speaking, Jin Boyong carefully took out several letters of credence from his arms.
Jiang Ye did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly took a step forward, carefully picked up the credential, and then respectfully handed it to Zhou Mi's hand.
Zhou Mi nodded and looked at Jin Boyong in front of him: "You are really interested."
"Is there anything else?"
"His Majesty!"
Zhou Mi paused for a moment, then continued: "I heard that His Majesty issued an imperial edict declaring that Yazhou can achieve autonomy. I wonder whether this is true or false?"
"That's what happened!"
Zhou Mi nodded.
"Old minister is terrified!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
As he spoke, Jin Boyong banged his head on the ground and burst into tears.
There was a bit of displeasure between Zhou Mi's brows, and then he continued: "Then you should be afraid, why should I take back my life?"
"Throughout the ages, I have carefully reviewed the ancestral rituals and laws, and the autonomy of states and counties. I am afraid that once the whole head is opened, the generals of the Zhou Dynasty will lose their country!" Jin Boyong's voice was filled with sadness.
"If we look at the ancestral etiquette and laws, we can see that it has never happened before for a woman to become emperor!"
Zhou Mi said with a smile: "Will the Zhou Dynasty also become a country without a country?"
"My lord, that's not what I meant. In fact, after giving too many rights to the states and counties, their ambitions will naturally grow! There will be endless disasters in the future!"
"Your Majesty, we need to take precautions!"
Zhou Mi nodded slightly.
Then he stood up from the dragon throne and glanced at Jin Boyong in front of him: "There will be endless disasters!"
"Jin Aiqing, you are so worried about the Great Zhou Sheji!"
Jin Boyong could hear some displeasure in Zhou Mi's words, and he bowed his head deeply again: "Your Majesty, please take back your life!"
"I, what if I don't accept it?"
Zhou Mi looked at Jin Boyong in front of him with interest.
Jin Boyong's body trembled slightly, as if he didn't expect Zhou Mi to answer like this.
After pondering for a moment, he continued: "If His Majesty insists on doing this, then the old minister will have no choice but to retire and return home!"
"Ha ha!"
Zhou Mi burst out laughing: "Jin Boyong, Jin Boyong, do you really think that the Zhou Dynasty is indispensable without you?"
"In my opinion, you don't have to get old anymore!"
"I will put you on death row now!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Zhou Mi's eyes.
"I am dedicated to the great Zhou Dynasty. If Your Majesty thinks it is not possible, I can kill me!"
Jin Boyong gritted his teeth and spoke.
"as far as I know!"
"The Turks' tribute last year should have been one hundred thousand taels of silver, five thousand sheep, and three thousand cattle!"
"But in fact, the Turks' credentials last year were only fifty thousand taels of silver, two thousand sheep, and one thousand cattle!"
Zhou Mi yawned: "There are other vassal states with similar shortages. If I remember correctly, it was also because Jin Aiqing said in front of me that they suffered a disaster here and a war there. I felt soft-hearted for a moment, but I didn’t care too much!”
"Yes! Such magnanimity can only demonstrate the power of our great Zhou Dynasty!"
Jin Boyong spoke hurriedly and said tremblingly.
"Is it to show the great power of the Zhou Dynasty? Or to show your inadequacy of people's hearts?" Zhou Mi narrowed his eyes and looked at Jin Boyong in front of him: "Do you want me to help you recall the correspondence between you and the envoys of other countries? "
"..."
"Old minister, I'm scared..."
At this time, Jin Boyong had no time to think about the mess.
He called out hurriedly, his body was already dripping with sweat, and he couldn't move at all.
"Fear!"
Zhou Mi laughed: "You are much more courageous than me. There are very few things that can make you panic."
"I always thought you were a talented person who could do things for me. I didn't bother to pursue any minor mistakes you made."
While talking, Zhou Mi came to Jin Boyong: "However, since you don't want to do things for me, then I really have to account for these mistakes!"
"Ginger leaf!"
"Send the order!"
Zhou Mi's voice was soft, but it had a chilling majesty.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
At this time, Jin Boyong no longer dared to let Zhou Mi continue speaking. He kowtowed twice and then continued: "Old minister, I believe the slander and doubt your majesty. It is really wrong!"
"oh?"
"But, I heard that there are still many people in the court who are dissatisfied with what happened in Yazhou?"
Zhou Mi sneered.
"That's because they don't understand His Majesty's thoughtfulness!"
"I will definitely find a way to make them shut up!"
If Jin Boyong didn't know what Zhou Mi wanted to do at this moment, then he would have been in this officialdom for so long in vain.
"This year, these vassals belong to the country, so there will be no disasters and no harm, right?"
"..."
Jin Boyong's heart twitched violently, and he felt distressed: "Your Majesty, this year there will be no disasters or harm in the country of the vassal state, and all court tributes will be complete!"
----My fever reached 39.5 yesterday. After taking my temperature, my first feeling was, I am so awesome! I'll make up for it slowly in a few days, and then I'll update five chapters every day for a few days.
