Playing to the death and cheating on you

These words are powerful. 【】

Because the argument has shifted.

Disbanding the harem, the ministers wanted to protect the interests of the big family, but these few words of the Taifu brought the focus of the debate to raise military expenses, whether to "frugalize from the royal family" or to search for the common people?

The other ministers hadn't reacted yet, but the second prince immediately yelled that it was not good.

Brother Huang, this is a layout for everyone.

This is a trap—it has nothing to do with suppressing bandits, nor about border wars—he is going to refute it, but he is about to set off soon, and he will leave soon. The suppression of bandits also involves military expenses. If I say it at this time, what will the emperor brother say?

Simply reduce the funds for suppressing bandits? ?

How to succeed with insufficient funds? ?

The Second Prince always relied on his military exploits to speak, but at this critical moment, he suddenly lost his voice.

King Xiu first called out: "Teacher, what are you talking about? Our treasury in the Northern Kingdom is full of money and food. Naturally, the royal family should have the air of a royal family and the majesty of the emperor. Even if it is frugal, it should be the thrift of the subjects. How can you let your majesty go down?" frugal?"

The second prince breathed a sigh of relief, which was exactly what he wanted to refute in his heart.

The emperor smiled but did not answer, his eyes turned to Tai Tu, who cupped his hands: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. War consumes most of a country's manpower and material resources. In the past twenty years, the Northern Kingdom has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth, and the people from all over the world have accumulated a lot of wealth. Treasures, but after years of wars over the past few years, the wear and tear has been very large. In order to make enough military expenses, they have to continue to apportion the money to the people. Are they happy? There are too many people in the harem, and it consumes a lot of money. Not to mention other things, just every month The firewood, rice, oil and salt is an extremely huge expense, and the cosmetics and powders of concubines and court ladies cost tens of thousands of silver. If this huge expense can be saved, how much less should be apportioned to the common people?"

King Xiu was furious: "Teacher, what are you talking about? Is it possible to lose the power of the royal family for a mere small amount of money? Is it possible that His Majesty is suffering as poorly as ordinary people? What kind of talk is this? How can there be a big country?" The majesty? How can there be the majesty of the emperor?? Even if the contract is terminated, the palace will not be saved..."

The ministers hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, our northern country is not very poor, how can we let His Majesty save money?"

"The emperor is majestic, the royal majesty, how can you make a decision on this?"

"Does it make the palace look like a slum?"
