"You can't solve this kid-deceiving thing? Ridiculous. Ridiculous!"

After saying that, in full view of everyone, he threw the box on the ground and crushed it under his feet.

What?

Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Ashitu screamed: "Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"

Qin Chuan looked sideways.

"What is impossible, seeing is believing."

The shock in Wen Wu's heart was difficult to calm down and he fell into silence.

He never expected that Qin Chuan would use simple and crude methods to destroy the chain lock.

In fact, the wood of the chain lock is not hard and is so light that even a child can easily crush it.

It's just that the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs' thinking is limited to unlocking itself, not opening the box itself.

Qin Chuan picked up the note among the debris and returned to Zhao Wushuang.

Wen Wu was still stunned in place, unable to recover for a long time.

Several ministers who had mocked him before looked at each other with ugly expressions.

Suddenly, Ashitu's attitude changed drastically.

"I didn't expect, I never expected that there would be such a smart person in the Dawu Imperial Court, which impressed the foreign ministers with admiration."

"Really?" Zhao Wushuang's beautiful eyes lit up, "Is it correct to break the lock violently?"

"That's right." Ashitu nodded, "This little father-in-law is as wise as the king of our country. Two equally wise people used the same method to decrypt the code in different countries."

Zhao Wushuang and Long Yan were delighted.

"Okay, okay, great. Qinchuan, I will definitely reward you heavily."

"Your Majesty's teachings are good, and this slave has an epiphany. Everything is your Majesty's credit. I dare not accept the reward."

The chief eunuch, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, glanced at Qin Chuan strangely, feeling wary.

Qin Chuan is still considered the Supervisor of Ceremonies at present.

Judging from his flattering attitude towards the emperor, he will definitely become a cunning and cunning minister in the future.

A powerful opponent.

Maybe the position of the chief ceremonial supervisor will be taken away by him.

After that, Zhao Wushuang's eyes fell on the paper.

It was so jabbering that I couldn’t understand a single word.

"The text above is in Mobei language? Can you please ask a special envoy to translate it?"

Ashitu did not dare to look down upon Qin Chuan anymore, and after taking a look at Qin Chuan, he said: "Your Majesty, it is only one-third of the time to crack the chain lock, and there is still two-thirds of the progress before we can know the whereabouts of the tribute.

The king of our country has said that only if your country passes the three passes can foreign ministers offer tribute.

Not only that, the monarch is also willing to form an eternal alliance with His Majesty and be friends for generations, but I don’t know if Your Majesty has the courage to accept the challenge. "

Zhao Wushuang knew clearly that this was Asitu's first test for Dawu.

As a vassal state, daring to challenge the clan is enough to prove that Mobei is becoming stronger and stronger, and may have transformed from a semi-nomadic nation into a new dynasty.

On the other hand, in Dawu, the national power is not as good as before.

Mobei's attempt to make things difficult for him was actually to test whether Dawu was still as knowledgeable as before.

You know, no one is willing to be a vassal forever, especially for a country that has the tendency to become a new dynasty.

No matter what, the situation must be stabilized, otherwise if it is not handled properly, other vassal states of Dawu will also play this trick, and they may not directly rebel.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhao Wushuang's voice was cold.

Ashitu smiled half-heartedly, cupping his fists and cupping his hands.

"Your Majesty, for the second exam question, I will see the answer tomorrow."

After saying that, he led the envoys and left the government hall boldly.

Immediately afterwards, the chief eunuch, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, flicked his fly whisk and said loudly: "If you have something to do, please leave the court. If there is nothing to do, leave the court."

The chief ministers and ministers of the cabinet all came out and handed them over.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. The mountain bandits on Jiannan Road are arrogant. Last month, I proposed to your Majesty to send troops to quell the bandits. At that time, your Majesty said that the treasury was empty and could not bear the trouble. Now that the tribute from Mobei is about to be received, should your Majesty do it? Express your stance and use money for funding?"

When Zhao Wushuang opened his mouth to ask for money, his face instantly turned ugly.

She was not stupid. She had known that Qi Kaikui had colluded with the bandits on Jiannan Road. This time she asked for money to send troops to quell the bandits, but she was actually trying to defraud the army of their pay. Then she changed her mind and said that the army was defeated, and continued to ask for money to strengthen the troops. …

Unfortunately, even if she knew, there was nothing she could do.

Qin Chuan suddenly sneered, "Hey, I heard that the richest man in Qi is the enemy of the country, and the tiles in the mansion are all made of gold. Since you know that the treasury is empty, why don't you generously donate some money to settle the Jiannan Road case? This matter is rumored Going out will be a nice talk!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Kaiju's face changed drastically, he glared at Qin Chuan and scolded him sternly.

"How dare you, a eunuch like you, interfere in the government affairs of the imperial court? Palm!"

He was furious.

It's an international joke, let him use money to quell the gangsters? Don’t even think about it!

Does he want to make a fortune from the bandits?

Qin Chuan sneered.

"As far as I know, the banditry in Jiannan Road has been going on for more than two years. In the past two years, the cabinet used this as an excuse to join hands with the Ministry of War to seize millions of taels from the court, but the banditry has never been eliminated. Those who know it think that the bandits are powerful, and the court soldiers The horse is defeated. Those who don't know better may think that Mr. Qi Ge colluded with the bandits, embezzled military pay, and deliberately defeated the battle!"

Hearing this, Zhao Wushuang's beautiful eyes were shocked and looked at Qin Chuan.

Knowing that Qi Kai was the chief assistant after all, he dared to confront him head-on?

It is a secret that everyone knows that Qi Kaikui is colluding with Jiannan Dao. Every time he brings this matter up, it means that he has to make money again, but who dares to say it openly?

Sure enough, Qi Kaizhu's face tightened and he gritted his teeth.

"Presumptuous. Simply presumptuous! I am an honest official and loyal to Dawu. How dare a gelded dog speak nonsense and spit blood on others?"

His turbid and old eyes stared at Qin Chuan.

If he hadn't had the opportunity to break up with the emperor, he would have wanted to rush forward and kill Qin Chuan on the spot.

For many years, no one dared to confront him like this.

When it comes to asking for money, if one wants it, everyone wants it. If you don't ask for it in advance, you're afraid you won't get it.

Six people in a row came out and asked for money.

For example, if a disaster strikes a certain place and destroys crops, warehouses need to be opened to release grain and provide relief to the victims.

Another example is that the fortification equipment should be replaced, otherwise it will affect people's livelihood.

Others say that ministers’ salaries should be increased.

Good guy, Mobei's tribute hasn't arrived yet, and now he's asking for money with all his teeth and claws.

Zhao Wushuang was so upset by the quarrel that he simply took a break from court and planned the use of his money after burning a stick of incense.

The corner of Qin Chuan's mouth twitched. He was not sure whether he would get the tribute. He couldn't wait to distribute it. it's not good?

Zhao Wushuang, who entered the back of the palace to rest, was furious and ordered Qin Chuan to call in Prime Minister Liu Zhongru.

"Old minister, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Zhao Wushuang went straight to the point and asked: "Master Liu, how do you think the tributes should be distributed after they are received? Should we provide disaster relief first or send troops to attack Jiannan Road first?"

Liu Zhongru was unhurried, unhurried and unhurried.

"People's livelihood is the foundation of the country. We must provide disaster relief, but we cannot blindly provide relief. We need to send people to investigate the local situation and find out how much food will be rescued and how much money will be donated."

As for the suppression of bandits on Jiannan Road, the bandits are endless and must be eradicated. Otherwise, the local people will suffer greatly. "
