Tai Chi Hall.

After the emperor finished his morning court, he usually came to Tai Chi Hall to handle memorials and government affairs.

Li Cheng naturally did not break this regulation.

only……

He looked at the memorials piled up like mountains in front of him, and wanted to cry without tears.

In my memory, my predecessor was not happy to care about these memorials.

It is estimated that it is because my predecessor is lazy that I can have a full 37 years of life. If I work hard, it will be gone in just a few seconds.

"If I don't criticize these things, it shouldn't be considered illegal to defeat the country, right?"

Li Cheng said carefully.

My mind was silent and the system did not warn him.

Li Cheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Just don’t review it. We will do our own things. Let’s talk about the review next year.

When he thought of this, he stretched his waist, supported himself on the table in front of him with one hand, and thought carefully.

Although the Tang Empire is now in the evening, the centipede insects will die without being stiff.

It will take a long time to make the Tang Dynasty fall by relying on those borer ministers alone.

He had to do more to speed up the demise of the Tang Empire...

As for how to do it?

Let him think about this carefully.

Li Cheng frowned and kept thinking.

Comprehensive national strength is based on various indicators...

Military, education, technology, etc. will not be defeated for a short time.

However, it's economic, you can lose first.

If the economy collapses, then all the national strength indicators of the Tang Dynasty will stagnate and it will not be possible to continue to rise.

This also cut off the possibility that his life span might increase.

Li Cheng thought about it, his eyes flashed with excitement and said, "Eunuch Xu, come in."

His words had just fallen.

His personal eunuch, Eunuch Xu, stepped in and whispered: "Your Majesty, the servant is here."

There must be a reason to defeat the country and collapse the economy, right?

Li Cheng glanced left and right, and finally his eyes fell on the table where the memorial was placed, and he slowly said, "Eunuch Xu, why... on my table, this five-clawed golden dragon with only four claws?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Xu trembled all over and hurriedly walked to the table and looked at it. After seeing it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said softly:

"Your Majesty, you're still five-clawed, but one claw is covered by a tea leaf."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Didn't scare him to death.

If something happens to the emperor.

The one who was in the brunt of the song was his personal eunuch.

Li Cheng looked at the table with no problem and said coldly: "The dragon claws are covered by tea leaves. Doesn't it mean that my eyes will be blinded by treacherous ministers?"

Bang!

The old eunuch was so scared that he knelt down and said in horror: "Your Majesty forgive me! Your Majesty forgive me!"

Why.

Let's have something to say.

Why did you kneel down?

"I forgive you for not guilty!"

In desperation, Li Cheng could only say this.

Eunuch Xu cried with joy and said, "I thank you for forgiveness! I'm now changing the table..."

He got up and immediately wanted to go out and order someone to come over.

Li Cheng stopped the other party, looked at the table and the bright and beautiful appearance of the Tai Chi Hall, and said, "Eunuch Xu, how long has it been since the Tai Chi Hall and... the palace been repaired?"

Eunuch Xu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Your Majesty, the imperial palace was built since the Emperor Taizu of Tang, and to this day, it has the history of eight generations of late emperors."

Li Cheng waved his sleeves and said lightly: "Well... the palace has not been repaired for too long. He has long lost his glorious image from that time. He will send an order to spend money from the treasury to let the Ministry of Works repair the entire palace."

"In addition, I think Chao'an City has not been repaired for too long. Let the Ministry of Works repair it too."

Chao'an City.

The capital of the Tang Empire!

When Eunuch Xu heard Li Cheng's words, his old face turned into a bitter gourd and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty..."

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Eunuch Xu, and said, "Do you think what I said is not right?"

Even if he measured a single eunuch, he would not have the courage to stop him from losing his country.

He is the emperor, okay?

Eunuch Xu quickly knelt down again and said in fear: "I dare not, I dare not go against His Majesty's wishes. It is really because the national treasury is no longer enough to support His Majesty to use it to maintain the palace and... Chao'an City."

Is the treasury not enough?

The Tang Dynasty Treasury has no money?

What a good thing!

Li Cheng asked: "How much is left in the treasury?"

Eunuch Xu was so scared that he trembled, saying, "Your Majesty! The national treasury has only... only one million silver twelve…"

One million silver?

There is only one million silver left in a country's treasury?

What can one million silver do? It can’t even support the army to fight.

It can even be said.

Now that foreign enemies are invading, the Tang Empire is unable to resist.

Wow, there are probably many treacherous ministers in the Tang Empire who are embezzling?

It's really...

Beautiful job!

Li Cheng smiled and said, "Eunuch Xu, tell me, most of the treasury silver has flowed into which loyal minister... Bah, the treacherous minister's pocket."

Eunuch Xu hurriedly took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, most of it was taken by the Prime Minister in his name. Please check it out."

Li Cheng took it and took a look.

I couldn't help but feel shocked.

Good guy.

Three months ago, the prime minister sent 30 million taels of silver from the treasury on the grounds of "maintaining the operation of the army".

Two and a half months ago, the prime minister took 10 million taels of silver from the treasury on the grounds that "the child in the family is full of a month."

Two months ago, the prime minister took five million taels of silver from the treasury on the grounds of "marrying a concubine".

...

Seven days ago, the prime minister sent three million taels of silver from the treasury on the grounds that he had no money to eat.

Since then, the treasury has been empty.

This prime minister...

He is truly a pillar of the country!!

The more Li Cheng looked at him, the more he became more and more happy. He still underestimated the prime minister.

This is no longer a borer, this is his favorite! His comrades-in-arms!

Seeing that Li Cheng didn't say a word, Eunuch Xu couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty calm down. If Your Majesty wants to take down the prime minister, please borrow the old slave tiger talisman. The old slave immediately mobilizes the army and take down the prime minister..."

"Get a chicken..."

Li Cheng said happily: "The Prime Minister is all seeking blessings for the Tang Dynasty! Although these reasons are all personal reasons, who is the Prime Minister? How could he put the silver into his own pocket? Even if he put it in his pocket, he must have difficulties at home."

"Transfer my oral order! I will withdraw 900,000 taels of silver from the treasury and send it to the prime minister! Be sure to let him continue to work hard and not give up! The Tang Dynasty behind him has not yet fallen, so I have to work harder!"

This person was there in the Tang Dynasty.

He has no worries.

We'll be able to go back soon!

I am coming back soon as a rich second generation life!

Eunuch Xu was confused, but nodded and said, "Abide by Your Majesty's imperial edict!"

Li Cheng nodded excitedly, the system did not warn him, proving that it was OK to give these ministers money?

Unfortunately, his treasury was only one million taels, and he had to leave 100,000 taels of daily expenses, otherwise he would definitely send all one million taels to the prime minister.

It’s good to defeat the country!
