The unlucky county princess and the crown prince

Qu Shangshu said: "yes, I just received the imperial edict. Because of the busy business at the end of the year, I haven't had time to implement it. What instructions does your highness have?"

Xuanyuanluo seemed casual, but in fact, he said coldly: "does Mr. Qu feel thorny?"

Xuanyuanluo's enigmatic smile puzzled Qu Shangshu. With a heavy sigh, it's strange that he was not intractable?

If this edict goes on, it will touch the vital interests of 300000 people. It is not a child's play.

Although it was intended, the military funding was directly provided by the Ministry of war. The Ministry of war still had great power in specific operation. If the king of Jiang Xia was angry and put the account on the Ministry of war, it would be enough for Qu Shangshu to have nothing to do with it.

Although it seems to be antagonistic that Qufu is subordinate to the Luo King faction, and Jiangxia King's is subordinate to the prince faction to some extent, Qu Shangshu, who is well aware of the complicated situation of the court, has different views from others, because so far, Jiangxia King's attitude has always been neutral, and there is no obvious sign of leaning towards the prince.

Since it's not a hostile relationship, at least not now, Qu Shangshu doesn't want to arouse the resentment of the hero in the battlefield without any reason, at least he doesn't want to marry him in public. Therefore, after receiving the will, he is in a dilemma, and tries to find a perfect way to keep himself out of the affair.

In the face of King Luo's coldness, Qu Shangshu sighed: "to be honest with your highness, this is really a difficult matter. There are 300000 soldiers in Jiangxia. It takes a lot of time to recalculate and distribute the military supplies. Now it's the end of the year, and the affairs of the Ministry of war are piling up. It's too busy."

Xuanyuanluo, of course, knew Qu Shangshu's worries. To put it bluntly, he was afraid of offending the king of Jiangxia. He came here today just to urge Qu Shangshu to implement this matter as soon as possible. Suddenly, he changed the subject and said with profound meaning: "for so many years, the army of Jiangxia supplied according to the standard of the Imperial Army, which caused a lot of complaints. For the 300000 troops, the Ministry of accounts had to spend millions of taels of silver every year, For this reason, we have to reduce the expenditure of other fortifications which are beneficial to the country and the people. Therefore, not only other local armies, but also other ministries are full of resentment. It is imperative to reduce the expenditure of Jiangxia army, which is the great policy of the country. "

His Highness's hongpianju theory is clear and righteous, which can not be refuted. Qu Shangshu nodded repeatedly, "Your Highness said it."

With a faint smile, Xuanyuan Luo gradually added: "every year, the Ministry of war has to spend millions of Liang more, so that the Department of accounts is empty. Mr. Hao of the Department of accounts has no choice but to send people from other departments on the ground that the Treasury is tight. Those people can count this on the head of the Ministry of war."

Qu Shangshu shakes his hand and sprinkles some tea on the ground. The smile on his face is a little stiff. He understands what king Luo means. For the sake of the generous treatment of Jiangxia army, he is almost the target of public criticism, but Jiangxia army does not treat him as a successful minister.

Xuanyuanluo turned a blind eye to Qu Shangshu's more and more dignified face. "The emperor used to do this military and political work in order to boost the morale and pacify the loyal souls. At one time or another, he emphasized martial arts in wartime and agriculture in leisure. Now, under the emperor's rule, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, the government is harmonious and the world is peaceful. No matter how much contribution the Jiangxia army made in the past, it can never be equal to the treatment of the imperial guards around the emperor, Mr. Qu said, "is that right?"

Qu Shangshu hastily echoed: "Your Highness's words and proverbs awaken the dreamer, but..."

He didn't say the following words. He believed that King Luo's heart was like a mirror. What about King Jiang Xia and others? No one wants to offend the princes unless it is necessary.
