After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 310 The snow on the ground can be exchanged for money
Just three days after this meeting, it snowed.

The first snowfall this winter came fiercely, but within a quarter of an hour, the ground was covered with snow.

It snowed heavily for three consecutive days.

People who didn’t believe there would be a snowstorm at first had to believe it now.

in the hall.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue reported: "Your Majesty, many merchants in Beijing took the opportunity to hoard food and medicine, etc. They must have waited until the snowstorm became more serious to sell them at high prices, taking advantage of the opportunity to make the country difficult to make money. The imperial court must come forward and severely punish those merchants!"

The Minister of War: "Your Majesty, there is news from Qianzhou that Cao Mang's adopted son Cao Hu has led an army of [-] to attack. He is currently stationed outside the city and will send troops to attack the city at any time."

The Minister of Rites: "Your Majesty, I have received news that a mountain in Suizhou suddenly collapsed, and a huge stone appeared in the mountain. On the stone were engraved sixteen characters - The Demon Queen has no principles, the sky is angry and people are resentful, the country is in decline, and the dragon's energy will be exhausted.

"This is a warning from heaven, and this snowstorm is the best proof! Please also ask the emperor to abolish the queen and establish a new queen to rectify the country's foundation."

After the Minister of Rites made his impassioned speech, he knelt down to petition.

After him, many ministers also knelt down.

"I sincerely request the emperor to abolish the queen and establish a new queen to rectify the foundation of the country."

The emperor sneered in his heart, these people were really his good ministers of Dayong.

In this period of internal and external troubles, we don't think about how to retreat from the enemy and fight disasters. Instead, we focus on the rear position.

He actually wanted him to abolish An Niang and establish a new queen.

At that time, do they still want to force him to favor the new queen and let her give birth to an heir? Then they can make the heir a prince, and kick him away as the emperor!
A group of corpse-like people who only want to protect themselves and their family's interests!

He was roaring with anger in his heart, but the emperor's face was calm.

This kind of calmness is a bit scary as a storm is about to come.

"I believe you have already chosen a new successor? Let's hear about it."

The Minister of Rites thought that the emperor had relented.

Also, at this juncture, the emperor himself has to issue a sinful edict, so how can he keep the queen who has not been able to give birth to a dragon son for more than ten years?

He has a daughter, the third eldest child in the family, and she is still a maid of honor. She is outstanding in both virtue and speech, even among the noble ladies of aristocratic families, she is outstanding.

She is worthy of being a queen.

But he couldn't say this himself.

So another minister spoke up on his behalf: "Your Majesty, Sannianglan of the Lu family has a very good heart, outstanding talent and learning, and her chess skills have even made the former Prime Minister Cui bow to him, and she is worthy of being the queen."

Another person suggested: "The Cui family's Eight Niangs were beautiful and intelligent, and she could write poems at the age of seven. On the day her mother gave birth to her, there was a vision of hundreds of birds in the sky looking toward the phoenix. This shows that God has already told her mother to honor the world."

"Your Majesty, the twelfth wife of the Zheng family..."

One candidate after another was recommended.

A good court meeting was turned into a blind date meeting.

While the ministers were campaigning for each other, the emperor, who had a calm face, suddenly drew out the sword of the guard beside him and threw it.

The sword flashed and penetrated straight into the heart of the Minister of Rites.

Minister of Rites, died.

"Lu Shaoyuan deceives the public with his evil words and spreads rumors. He deserves to die."

The hall was silent.

The ministers were stunned.

The timid one even fainted on the spot.

Your Majesty, why does he kill someone just because he disagrees?Was it the head of the Lu family who was killed?
The Lu family is a first-class family!

Your Majesty, how dare he?Is he crazy?

No matter how knowledgeable these ministers are, they are knowledgeable and eloquent, but they cannot utter a single word in front of that bright murderous sword.

They are afraid that it will be their turn next.

No matter how eloquent and righteous they usually are, in the face of real life and death, their first reaction is still fear.

The emperor killed someone and sat back as if nothing had happened.

"Who else wants to persuade me to depose the queen?"

The whole hall was silent.

Emperor: "Lin Dayou."

The young man who had been robbed of his sword stepped out of the queue, walked down the steps, knelt down on one knee and said, "I am here."

Emperor: "I order you to be the forward general and lead an army of ten thousand to Qianzhou to retreat from the enemy."

Lin Dayou: "I obey the order." Ministers: "..."

The emperor is really crazy.

Lin Dayou, a commoner from a rural background, probably couldn't even recognize a few words. Does he know how to lead an army in a war?
What's more, the Wei army had a total of 5 people!
Lin Dayou only led 1 people, how could he fight against the Wei army?

However, the death of the Minister of Rites has angered officials from these aristocratic families and factions.

Instead of stopping him, they watched with cold eyes, waiting to see Lin Dayou lose the battle.

Only when Lin Dayou loses can the emperor realize how wrong he was and turn to his family, right?

As for the consequences of Lin Dayou's defeat, such as the city wall being breached and the people being massacred, they were not at all considering it.

Some ants stand at a high place for a long time and easily forget that they are also one of the ants.

On the fourth day, the snow became lighter.

Officials from the aristocratic family factions gathered at the home of Mr. Zheng, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Enjoy the snow around the stove in the pavilion, feast and have fun.

"Lu Shangshu died unjustly!"

"I remember last year when the snow fell, Lao Lu was drinking and eating meat with us, but this year he was actually killed by the tyrant!"

"Be careful what you say! Be careful not to be overheard by spies."

"Hmph, if God wants to kill him, he must first make him crazy. I think he has gone too crazy."

"Just wait and see, if he does such a rebellious thing, God will accept him sooner or later."

"This snow comes at the right time."

"Bang bang bang——" A loud sound of gongs came from outside the courtyard wall.

"Gather the snow! Gather the snow! One thousand catties of snow can be exchanged for one penny! One thousand catties of snow can be exchanged for one penny!"

Everyone in the pavilion looked at each other in confusion, "Collecting snow? Can you exchange a thousand kilograms of snow for one penny?"

"What madman could do this?"

When I went out and took a look, that madman was the current emperor!

Of course, it was not the emperor himself who beat the gong and called for the snow to be harvested, but the Longquan Guards.

Longquanwei banged the gong and posted a notice in a conspicuous place on the street.

The notice was written in more detail. As soon as it was posted, many people gathered to see it.

It was originally cold and snowy, and people stayed at home and refused to go out.

But the sound of the gong was too penetrating and its presence was too strong, attracting many people to come out to watch.

"What does this notice say?"

"If anyone is literate, please tell me."

"Everyone, what the notice says is that there are snow collection stations in the four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the capital. People can take the collected snow and exchange it for money. One thousand kilograms of snow can be exchanged for one penny!"

"Ah, the government is not lying, right?"

"That's right. This is too ridiculous. Snow is everywhere. Why does the government have to spend money to collect it?"

"You stupid people, the emperor sent people to collect the snow, isn't he just giving money to us people in disguise! He's afraid that we won't survive the winter! What are you waiting for? Why don't you act quickly? The snow on the ground is all Money!”

"Quick, quick, go home and get some stuff to pack in the snow!"

"Whether it's true or not, just collect the snow first."

For a time, people all over the city were in action, collecting snow like crazy.

Snow collection stations everywhere are overcrowded.

"Ah, it's true! The snow I sent here was actually exchanged for money!"

"I sold two thousand catties of snow and got two cents! I can buy two catties of rice!"

"Now we are saved! Your Majesty is such a good man."

Now, the people are even more crazy.

Originally, when they saw snow, they thought of cold, hunger, disease... in short, they were not good things.

Only those wealthy people who are full and full are in the mood to enjoy the snow.

But now, when people see snow, their eyes light up.

Because that snow is money!
