His eyes were directed at the second-ranking figure in the six ministers, the official minister Xiang Guotian.

At this time, Xiang Guotian dared not agree. He knelt down hurriedly and agreed unwillingly.

Who dares to disagree now? Ning Wen lying on the ground is an example.

Li Yi suddenly acted out of common sense, which really disrupted the rhythm of this group of rebellious officials and traitors.

"Retreat!"

"Everyone, get out of here!"

"Also, let Sun Tingzong come to the palace to see me. If he has any shortcomings, all six of your ministers will be buried with me!"

Li Yi left with his head held high, extremely strong.

The ministers dispersed and the Jinluan Hall was empty.

The reason why Li Yi suddenly wanted to release Sun Tingzong was because in his memory, there was nothing the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty hated more than Sun Tingzong.

Obviously, the person who can make the former owner of this body extremely disgusted must be a loyal minister.

Harem.

Li Yigang went down to court, and at noon, he went directly to the queen's palace to have a meal.

Ye Qingluan waited carefully. After yesterday night, she finally knew what "emperor" meant!

Having just fought the first wave of civil and military battles with the Manchu Dynasty, Li Yi really felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Ye Qingluan served Li Yi carefully. Seeing that Li Yi seemed to be in a bad mood, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that you let Sun Tingzong go, but you also reward him with a cabinet bachelor and a crown prince?"

"Huh?"

Li Yi suddenly raised his head, "Queen Qingluan is so persuasive. I just announced it in the court, and you received the news in the harem?"

Ye Qingluan's expression changed with shock, and he froze on the spot.

"Is it your Ye Qingluan's work, or your Ye family's work?"

Although Li Yi was carefree, Ye Qingluan could tell that Li Yi was very unhappy.

His Majesty is not the same as before, let alone spying on His Majesty the Emperor, which is a royal taboo.

"His Majesty!"

Ye Qingluan hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, I have no ill intentions at all, and I am not caring at all. I am just worried about Your Majesty..."

"What are you worried about me for?" Li Yi said lightly.

Ye Qingluan swallowed his saliva, "There are many traitors and traitors in the court. I am worried that Your Majesty will suffer a loss, so I pay more attention to them. Once they dare to harm Your Majesty, I will risk my life to save you and leave!"

"It's just a bunch of barking old dogs, nothing to be afraid of."

Ye Qingluan looked at Li Yi's relaxed look, and he was not pretending to do so. He secretly thought that His Majesty had really changed, and continued: "I don't understand. Your Majesty used to hate Sun Tingzong so much that he wanted to kill him quickly. You said you wanted to kill Sun Tingzong once, why did you suddenly let him go again today?"

"Since it is my decision to let Sun Tingzong go or kill him, it is not your turn to remind me!"

Li Yi suddenly slammed the table hard, and the huge movement made Ye Qingluan's heart tremble.

"It is a rule set by ancestor Dafeng that the harem must not interfere with politics. Even Queen Xiaocigao dare not touch it. Do you, Ye Qingluan, think you are stronger than Queen Xiaocigao?" Li Yi's tone became cold.

"I don't dare!"

Ye Qingluan was completely frightened.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Only today did Ye Qingluan truly realize this.

After a long silence.

Li Yi sighed and changed his tone, "This court has been corrupted to the end. It's not surprising if you know it. I won't blame you today, but if you do it again, don't blame me for giving you a white silk ribbon."

"No, I know it..."

"Come up."

Li Yi said lightly.

Ye Qingluan stood up slowly, with tears in his eyes, and carefully sat on the bed, gently pressing Li Yi's legs, lowering his head and not daring to raise it.

Li Yi took Ye Qingluan's slender, green-white hand, changed his tone and said softly: "Did your father say anything back?"

"No, no, but I have already sent someone. There will definitely be a reply within three days. I think my father will definitely agree."

Li Yi nodded, "Just agree."

Immediately, he reached out and lifted Ye Qingluan's chin, raising the corners of his mouth, "Take off your clothes and come up."

"promise……"

The sound is like the chirping of mosquitoes.

When the clothes are taken off, the skin is like gelatin, the collar is like a cricket grub, the teeth are like gourd rhinoceros, and the head is like a moth-like eyebrow. It is really beautiful.

After a period of high-spirited chanting, the clouds and rain suddenly stopped, and the mood continued.

The whole bedroom was filled with a strange smell.

Li Yi was naturally refreshed and radiant. Queen Qingluan's service was truly unforgettable.

After the lingering, Li Yi came to the imperial study and ordered: "Let Cao Qingyan come over."

"No!" The waiter retreated.

Li Yi looked at the memorials on the table. His head was really big. On each memorial, there were two words written crookedly on it, "Lack of money!"

"well!"

He now arranges for Cao Qingyan to investigate the civil and military assets of the Manchu Dynasty and prepare to make money from corrupt officials.

But obviously, this is just a drop in the bucket.

Dafeng Chaoqi's money is too much.

Among other things, once the border troops on all sides are short of money, they may mutiny one day.

If someone is deliberately obstructing it, the harm will be much more terrifying than that of rogue bandits.

The current lack of money is one thing, but cleaning up the court is also a top priority.

Looking at all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, who can speak for me?

I'm afraid it's only Sun Tingzong.

With Sun Tingzong, at least Li Yi is no longer alone, and he also has "one of his own" in the court.

Another biggest problem is the food and clothing line for the people at the bottom.

The most important reason why the traitor Zhu Chongyuan could sweep the entire Guanzhong in an instant, intimidate the capital, and leverage the power of the Gale Dynasty, was that the people at the bottom could not survive.

In Li Yi's memory, since his predecessor ascended the throne, the Dafeng Dynasty has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters.

Frequent droughts, earthquakes, floods, and natural disasters have made the people of Gale Dynasty miserable and starved to death.

Food is the greatest weapon to stabilize the world, and it is also the real conspiracy.

With food, whoever would put his head in his waistband to rebel would not be able to survive, and would be dead no matter what, and he would only embark on the path of rebellion as a last resort.

Li Yi is also from a "common people" background, so he naturally knows what the people want.

It’s just the word “food and clothing”.

The suffering of the people is the real suffering!

"Is this a big trouble?"

But Cao Qingyan was summoned again because of lack of money.

"Old slave pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Li Yi glanced at Cao Qingyan and asked, "How did things go?"

"Your Majesty, the managers of the Internal Machinery Supervisor have arrived and are ready to serve Your Majesty at any time. It will take some time to return to the peak of our powers."

"The corruption of officials at all levels in the capital has been basically investigated and we are waiting for His Majesty's decree at any time."

Li Yi nodded, no wonder the late emperor liked to use Cao Qingyan very much. No one would be happy to use a slave with such high efficiency.

"Okay, I'll take your credit for now, but I have one more thing for you to do today," Li Yida said.

"Promise, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Sure enough, Cao Qingyan, who had been imprisoned for three years, had completely lost his temper.

"I order you to set up a colorful painting hall among the people. Use ten numbers to be arranged and combined into four numbers. The leopard is the prize. The prize is from high to low. The highest is four nines. The prize is five thousand taels. The price of each ticket One or two, and so on.”

Cao Qingyan was a gambler himself, and when he heard Li Yi's words, he immediately understood.

Immediately, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly felt that His Majesty's idea was simply too powerful.

Not to mention anything else, just selling these tickets is worth a lot of money. Even if they all win, the income will be huge, which is nothing compared to the bonus.

If it spread to the entire Gale Dynasty, wouldn't the silver be like running water?

The hen that lays the eggs properly is still a golden egg.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"No, I understand!"

"From now on, this Caihua Hall will be under your control. I hope you can enjoy it!"

"promise!"

Cao Qingyan was overjoyed. Doesn't this mean that he has become His Majesty's confidant?

At this moment, Li Yi was even more secretly happy. With the Caihua Hall, he didn't have to worry about the children from aristocratic families flocking to it and taking out their money obediently.

At this time, the chamberlain approached and reported: "Your Majesty, Master Sun Tingzong said that he did not have time to see Your Majesty and went to the cabinet alone."

There was a moment of silence.

Li Yi suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "You are so brave, you dare to treat my words as farts!"

"Cao Qingyan, bring someone to bring this old guy over to me!"

Li Yi is really angry now.

Although he had never met Lord Sun Tingzong, Li Yi was already annoyed by Sun Tingzong's attitude.

As an emperor, no matter how talented his ministers are, he would never want to control an arrogant and unruly minister.
