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 Emperor 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 the seal that matters, that's all.
If he hadn't been afraid of being too ugly, he might have even asked him to throw the jade seal into Taishu Pavilion!
"I don't know 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 'An Haijin' is the money left over from the National Law Department's reduction of soldiers' salaries 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 Anhaijin?
"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 your Majesty will naturally not 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 belongs to the Department of National Law, but Tantai Fu, the director-general of the Department of War, wants to use the emperor's name to keep this 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 had been waiting for a long time.
The Department of National Law and the Department of National Military Affairs are not the same!
After the 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 have acted out a master-disciple relationship, but if your intelligence is here, what kind of tricks can you make?
"Did Taishu Pavilion bring up the construction of the statue?"
Han Dongwen pointed to another line of words: "If I guess correctly, Master Tantai's order was just to find an excuse to spend the money, right?"
Tantaifu didn't want the National Law Department to get this Anhai gold, but he couldn't let it go to the National War Department openly.
Is it because Tantai Fu wanted to take a name that he was covered with Emperor Han Dongwen?
Still saying, still saying...
Han Dongwen couldn't think clearly at the moment, but one thing was certain. He, Tantai Fu, was not strong enough to put the money in his pocket openly.
Zhong Lilin looked at Han Dongwen without speaking for a long time, and finally spoke belatedly: "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 behavior 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, and then kill the traitors and traitors, wipe out Simeng, and give him a clear sky!
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 the money to buy a fruit knife, he will probably be exposed to Tantai Fu's eyes.
Return this money to the National Justice Department?
That is blatantly resisting Tantai Fu's order. It is unclear whether the forces of the National Law Department can support Han Dongwen. 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 arm 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 towards the National Military Division.
Apart from the exquisite meals, this was one of the few times when Han Dongwen realized that he had really become an emperor.
The emperor is the top management.
What should management do?
Governance? 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.
"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 His 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 out of the wild forest full of monsters. He had very little health left and no cooking items that could be restored.
"Uh-huh!"
A hungry wolf stood across 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 had an idea, and found 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 howled 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 a huge statue standing in front of him.
A statue of himself!
"No--!"
he cried desperately.
Behind him, the wolves have arrived.
In his dream, he fell into the bloody abyss of wolves.
