Dozens of soldiers rushed into the court.
The prime minister looked ugly and glared at King Lanling.
Jun Wuxie looked coldly at the soldiers who rushed in and said: "You bastards, you are the Royal Forest Army, the army that protects the Emperor. When will it be King Lanling's turn to command you!"
Are you trying to rebel? "
His voice was like a dragon's roar, echoing in the palace hall, deafening.
The impact of the sound waves made the guards' brains buzz and their bodies tremble. The spears in their hands almost fell to the ground. They were so frightened inside that they did not dare to take another step forward.
"All of you, get out of here!"
Nalan Jingyi said coldly.
The imperial guards took a few steps back, then stopped and glanced at King Lanling quietly.
"Why, you didn't listen to my orders.
Do you really want to rebel and want to be executed by the Nine Clan? "
The imperial guards trembled and then retreated.
"Prince Lanling, you are so majestic, even my imperial guards have to look at your face to act!"
Nalan Jingyi knew that King Lanling did this on purpose, intending to tell him that even the imperial guards around you must listen to me.
She knew very well that King Lanling wanted to use this to force her to give in.
Because the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was very important to King Lanling, he was unwilling to let the Ministry of Revenue out of his control.
"Your Majesty wrongly blamed the old minister.
The guard of the moon drew his sword and killed the minister in the court hall. The old minister was frightened, and then he called the imperial guards.
I think when the Royal Guards came in and saw this scene, they thought His Majesty's safety was threatened, so they didn't withdraw for a while. They were also loyal to His Majesty. "
"What kind of minister should I kill? This person is no longer the Minister of Hubu. Furthermore, he had a bet with Yue Shangshu before.
There is nothing wrong with Yue Shangshu cutting off his head.
As for you, as ministers, you openly force me in the court, which is an act of deceiving the emperor.
The Moon Guard is holding the Emperor's Sword. If he feels that you are bullying the king, he will kill any of you. I have nothing to say. "
Nalan Jingyi is also very strong.
In the past, she didn't dare to be so strong.
But it was different now. Jun Wuxie stood in front of her with a sword, giving her great confidence.
She only felt that as long as this man was in front of her, she would have nothing to fear. Even if the sky fell, he would help her hold it up.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my words.
If His Majesty continues to indulge Minister Yue like this, I am afraid it will bring about very serious consequences.
Your Majesty, please think twice and consider it carefully.
The veteran said this, I just hope that your majesty will think about the consequences carefully and don't be too young and arrogant.
A king cannot act on impulse. "
After King Lanling finished speaking, he turned around and left.
His attitude is quite arrogant and arrogant, as if this court is the hall of his home. He can come and leave as he wants without waiting for the emperor to say to withdraw.
"Retreat!"
Nalan Jingyi had a cold face.
Most of the ministers followed King Lanling and left.
The prime minister and the dozen or so ministers around him looked at each other, hesitating to speak.
In the end, they left the court without saying anything else.
They felt relieved by His Majesty's strength today, but also full of worry.
If you confront King Lanling like this, I am afraid that King Lanling will use more violent means to deal with His Majesty in the future.
They felt that His Majesty was a little impatient.
He had just regained control of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Five of the six departments were still under the control of King Lanling, especially the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.
It can be said that the lifeline of the entire dynasty is almost entirely in the hands of King Lanling.
…
Returning to the imperial study, Nalan Jingyi took a deep breath.
"Did I act too strong today?"
She was also worried that she would completely anger King Lanling, which would cause problems in many institutions in the dynasty, and the people would be the unlucky ones.
"No. You are the head of the dynasty, and you should have your own imperial power, rather than looking at the faces of your ministers.
From now on, you have to continue to be strong.
I'm here, so you don't have to worry. "
"Thankfully I have you, otherwise I really don't know what I would have done."
She stepped forward and stared up at him, "For so many years, I have been playing games with King Lanling, but I have been defeated every time. I have never been as relieved as today.
Prince Lanling's face was almost green with anger.
This was the first time I saw him deflated. "
"You don't have to be angry with him in the future. By the way, you ask Feng Ling to summon all the generals of the Royal Forest Army."
"good."
Nalan Jingyi now obeys his words.
Next, Jun Wuxie found out those who had taken refuge with King Lanling among the generals of the Royal Forest Army.
Actually, most of the generals were from King Lanling, including the commander of the Royal Forest Army, who secretly turned to King Lanling.
He wanted to kill all these people.
After thinking about it, I finally converted them.
After all, there are too many people. After killing them all, it will be difficult to find replacements for a while.
Moreover, their prestige among the Imperial Guards was very high, and it would be difficult for new replacements to manage these Imperial Guards for a while.
In the afternoon, he changed into the official uniform of the Minister of Hubu and went to the Hubu.
In the entire household department, only about a dozen middle-level officials came to receive him, and the others ignored him.
He found the Minister of Household Affairs and asked him to get all the accounts for these years.
The Minister of Household Affairs was a fat middle-aged man with a big belly and a greasy face. He glanced at him sideways and said, "Master Shangshu wants the accounts, why don't you go find them yourself?
The official is busy with official duties and has many things to do, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. "
His attitude was very arrogant and arrogant, which made the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who followed Jun Wuxie feel angry and helpless.
The Minister of Hubu is a member of King Lanling, so he will not cooperate with the new Lord Shangshu. After all, the Lord Shangshu is a member of the emperor.
"Since you are so useless, there is no need to keep it."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of swords and a flash of surprise.
The minister of household affairs screamed, his head fell to the ground, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
The emperor cut into the sheath.
Jun Wuxie said to the people around him: "Drag him out, hang it at the door of the house, and post his charges. He despised the imperial power. He committed the following crimes, violated the law for personal gain, and embezzled money from the treasury."
Other Hubu officials who came to their senses quickly stepped forward and dragged the body of the Hubu Minister away.
Jun Wuxie stretched out his hand and sucked it, then took his head into his hand and searched his sea of consciousness while he was just dying.
Soon, he got a lot of useful information from his sea of consciousness.
This information includes information about where the fake account books are placed, the accounts department and those who colluded with them, etc.
Jun Wuxie found the evidence, looked through it and put it away. Then he killed all the people who had colluded with Hu Bu and hung them on a stone pillar outside Hu Bu.
"From now on, you will serve as the Minister of Household Affairs."
Before Jun Wuxie left, he said to the Inspector of Household Affairs.
The inspector is someone appointed by the emperor.
The inspector was flattered, but did not dare to respond, saying: "Sir, the position of minister requires the emperor's personal permission. You..."
"What I mean is what the Emperor means, and the imperial edict will be issued tomorrow.
You need to remember that if you take the position of Minister of Household Affairs, the Lanling Palace will most likely bribe you with coercion and inducement.
You must be loyal to the emperor and never stand in the wrong camp at any time, otherwise your life will be hard to save. "
"Yes, I would like to thank Lord Shangshu for the promotion!"
"Okay, you should pay more attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Finance in the future.
Check the accounts of these years carefully, then make a list and give it to me.
If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, please report it to me at any time. "
"Yes, I have remembered it, I will send you my respects!"
…
Jun Wuxie had just come out of the household department and not long after returning to the palace, Feng Ling found him.
"Sir, people from the East China Sea and Longxi Dynasty Chamber of Commerce want to see you."
"when?"
"Today is the day. They are waiting for you right now."
…
Not long after, Jun Wuxie met with people from two dynasties' trading houses and chambers of commerce.
"It's already late. I'm still bothering you sir. Please don't blame me."
Seeing Jun Wuxie arriving, they hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"You want to see me, I guess you are someone who understands the doubts in my heart."
"Indeed, sir, he has a huge amount of medicinal materials, which he can sell at high prices to make a huge fortune, but he insists on selling them to us at the purchase price.
We really don't know why Mr. "
Jun Wuxie smiled lightly, "I know that behind you are the Donghai Family and the Longxi Family.
Someone in the Lanling Dynasty owes you a debt of gratitude to the two great families behind you.
I do this to repay their kindness.
After you get the medicinal materials, you quickly go back and refine the elixirs as quickly as possible to sell them.
In this way, you can not only get your money back quickly, but also make a lot of money in a limited time. "
They couldn't help but be startled after hearing this.
Within a limited time?
They thought about it carefully, but it was difficult to understand what he meant by this.
“Since Sir said so, we won’t ask in detail.
Thank you for your honesty, sir.
Time is running out, don't let it pass. "
They have a sense of crisis in their hearts and don't want to waste any more time.
The person in front of me is not only a person selling elixirs, but also a person selling medicinal materials.
Since he mentioned a limited time, it means something will inevitably happen.
This is not a trivial matter, it is a huge matter for them, involving huge wealth.
They left with the medicine.
Directly drive the divine boat to ride the wind and break through the clouds, and disappear into the dusk clouds.
…
The next two months.
Jun Wuxie ran between the household department, the court, the inn where Jing Ya was staying, the queen's bedroom, and the queen's bedroom.
During these days, war preparation materials and money for the frontier have been prepared.
In addition to Donghai and Longxi, other chambers of commerce and trading houses have sent people to buy medicinal materials many times.
He has always been rejected.
He didn't let go until yesterday.
During this period, the Qianlong Chamber of Commerce, which was backed by King Lanling, came to him most frequently to buy medicinal materials.
"What, ten times the price?"
When those chambers of commerce knew the price of the medicinal materials, all of them were livid and wanted to say, "Why don't you go and grab it!"
too dark.
The medicinal materials purchased for tens of dollars per catty now cost hundreds of dollars per catty!
The key is that these medicinal materials were sold by them personally, but now they have to buy them back at ten times the price, which makes them feel like vomiting blood.
But if you don't buy them back at a high price, there will be a real shortage of medicinal materials for refining the elixir.
The chambers of commerce in Longxi and Donghai didn’t know where they got so many medicinal materials.
During this period, they refined a large amount of elixirs and sold them like crazy. They had already earned enough 10 trillion silver coins to buy the elixirs and achieved huge net profits.
Due to the shortage of medicinal materials, they have only recovered less than one-tenth of their original investment.
Seeing the merchants in Donghai and Longxi making crazy money, they were jealous.
"According to the price of the elixir, even if you recycle the medicinal materials at ten times the price, you will still have about double the profit.
The price is like this, if you want to buy it, if you don't want to, just forget it. "
"purchase!"
The heads of major commercial houses and chambers of commerce gritted their teeth.
