Chapter 294: Consecrated as a Saint
The ministers were all dumbfounded, but the emperor was relieved.
He sat down with a smile, no longer in a hurry.
He finally realized that these people had to be defeated.
"Why don't you keep crying? Why don't you stop crying?"
The emperor asked this with a relaxed look on his face and in a good mood.
He likes this, he likes to slap the ministers in the face directly.
These old guys always look for trouble when they have nothing to do. Can't they just let themselves have a few days of peace?
The ministers had not expected things to turn out like this. Now they could neither cry nor beg.
However, the ministers did believe one thing: this girl was indeed not simple.
In fact, they should have thought of it earlier.
After all, the emperor is such a stingy person, how could he easily give an official position to someone else?
If this girl wasn't special, she would never get any benefit from the emperor.
"Your Majesty, we were wrong. Please forgive us!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we were wrong. We failed to recognize the great man. Please don't hold it against us."
This was really an unexpected scene; the ministers changed their minds really quickly.
"It's useless for you to beg me. If you want to ask, go ask the Saint for forgiveness."
Yes, if you ask, then go and ask for the saint’s forgiveness.
But the ministers felt embarrassed, after all, what they had just said was quite excessive.
"Lady Saint! All the mistakes are ours. Please forgive us, Lady Saint."
The Minister of Rites was the first to speak.
Why? Because this old guy is smart.
It is not easy to ask for forgiveness from others, and it is also quite embarrassing.
But then again, being tied up like this and kneeling on the ground would be considered prestigious?
He was also very curious about how this saint did it.
The vines grew instantly and took on their current shape right before the eyes of so many people.
This can't be a trick!
His painfully pricked palm told him that all this was true.
So, what exactly is this saintly woman capable of? And what impact does it have on them?
Liu Rumei had no intention of making things difficult for them. Instead, she waved her hand, and the vines completely disappeared from where they were.
This was so unbelievable that no one dared to say a word anymore.
“This Saint does not care about power and status in your eyes, I only care about the lives of the people of the world.
Today, I am sitting here because I heard that there is chaos in the north and the common people may be implicated."
When Liu Rumei brought up this topic, the ministers were stunned.
This saint is surprisingly well-informed.
But you, a woman, dare to discuss state affairs while standing in front of the emperor. This is too bold.
However, because they had just been taught a lesson, the ministers were very honest. They pretended not to hear and only looked at the emperor's attitude.
After all, their emperor was not only suspicious, but also very concerned about his face.
Now that you've been slapped in the face by the Saint, how can you remain silent?
"What the Saint said is absolutely right! The north is in chaos now, and it is reasonable for the Saint to be worried.
It just so happens that all the ministers are here, so you can also tell me what we should do about this matter in the north?"
The ministers were all surprised. Is the emperor so obedient?
They are trying to interfere in your family affairs!
You're still cooperating?
At this moment, the ministers finally realized that the emperor had really changed this time.
He was determined to let this saintly lady who protected the country intervene in state affairs.
They wanted to oppose, wanted to jump up and down, point their fingers at the emperor and curse him.
But they don't dare!
So the ministers remained silent, and no one wanted to be the first to speak out.
When the emperor saw this, he was furious!
"Okay! You guys keep quiet!
Such a big thing happened in the North, and none of you take it to heart, right? "
When the ministers heard this, they felt extremely aggrieved.
I was so anxious that I couldn't sleep last night, and I fell into a big trap this morning. These days are getting more and more miserable.
Humph, if they want to be bad, it’s up to them!
The ministers said nothing and the emperor sneered.
He just didn't believe that he couldn't deal with this group of ministers!
"In that case, let's start with the Minister of War. Tell us how we can win the war in the north!"
Anyway, there are only six ministers in total, and they will have to speak when they are called out one by one.
What else can the Minister of War say?
All he can say is fight!
Could it be that the first words of the Minister of War who stood up were to ask for peace?
How can we, the Great Yong, allow ourselves to be bullied by the Northern Rong?
But how to fight and how to mobilize troops naturally lies with the emperor.
"I only have one thing to say today. If it weren't for the busy affairs of the Ministry of War, I would have personally put on my armor and go into battle to kill them all!"
Minister of War, this is really a beautiful thing to say.
He demonstrated his loyalty, but he also found an excuse.
He is the Minister of War. No matter what, he cannot wear armor and go into battle himself. With so many generals, can he really be used?
Everyone can say nice things, but no one does anything useful.
On the other hand, the Minister of Revenue immediately threw the problem to the Minister of Revenue.
“The soldiers and horses have not moved yet, but the food and grass go first.
The Ministry of Revenue, please tell me, how much silver do we have left?"
When the emperor asked this, the Minister of Revenue fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, this year has been very difficult for us.
There was severe drought in the north and floods in the south. No matter how much money was spent this year, it was of no use.
Now, with war approaching, silver is needed. But where does the Ministry of Revenue have so much money?
Every place asks me for money, but I don't have the ability to turn stone into gold, so there is nothing I can do.
To put it bluntly, the year is almost over and the ministers of various departments are waiting to receive their New Year's money.
But even with this little bit of money, I have to be careful with it, for fear of making a mistake."
The emperor didn't say anything, but to be honest, he understood the implicit meaning of the words.
This means that the New Year is approaching, the palace needs money, and the ministers need to eat.
If all the money is used for war, then there is no point in celebrating the New Year.
Of course these are all excuses, but they are useful.
The emperor also thought that he couldn't always live a depressed and aggrieved life. This was not his character.
However, the saint was by his side, so he really didn't dare to do so.
This person needs merit and the power of faith.
All six ministers said it, and the Minister of Rites complained the least, after all, this had nothing to do with him.
After they finished speaking, the emperor looked at everyone and then glanced at Liu Rumei.
He stopped cursing and throwing cups. Instead, he looked at Liu Rumei.
"Saint, what do you think?"
No one expected that the emperor would ask Liu Rumei first?
Are you asking others about such an important matter?
Not to mention that the other party is a saint, even if she is the queen mother, it won’t work.
Your Majesty, this is becoming increasingly unreliable!
"Your Majesty, for such a major event, even if the Saint wanted to, I'm afraid she would be powerless!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, unless the Saint Lady can conjure up gold and silver, it will also solve the difficulties of our Dayong!"
Liu Rumei was unhappy when she heard this. Asking her to turn into gold, silver and jewelry?
Just kidding, she is that generous!
Liu Rumei smiled and waved her hand, and then a wolf appeared above the hall!
Although this wolf is not ferocious, it is also very majestic!
Jinzi took a look at the situation and wondered what his master meant.
