Everyone looked at Ji Changsheng.
The prime minister, who was about to curse, immediately swallowed his words back.
Although he had not yet received the news that Ji Changsheng had directed the bloody palace coup last night, it was confirmed that Ji Changsheng had killed the Crown Prince and the Princess of the Eastern Palace.
The prime minister was very worried that after he scolded Ji Changsheng, he would have to go to accompany the prince.
Keep a steady hand.
Others thought the same thing.
Although we cannot use swear words, we still have to question.
"Elder Ji, what are you talking about?"
Ji Changsheng said sternly: "Your Majesty, aren't you and the other lords worried about the empty treasury? I'm here to tell you the good news. Sheng State has money now, so you don't have to worry."
"That's just... complete nonsense."
The Minister of Revenue wanted to use even dirtier words.
But thinking of Ji Changsheng's glorious achievements, he could only describe it as "nonsense".
"Elder Ji, you are an outsider, so please don't interfere in Shengguo's government affairs."
The Minister of Revenue excluded Ji Changsheng from government affairs with just one sentence.
What Ying Hongye said is right.
There will be a lot of verbal battles and power struggles in the court today.
Unfortunately, Ji Changsheng didn't want to play power struggle with them at all.
"I have never interfered in the government affairs of Sheng Kingdom. It is because His Majesty feels that he is a new king and lacks virtue, so he kneels down to ask me to come out and support him."
Ji Changsheng threw the responsibility to the emperor without any psychological pressure.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne and looked at Ji Changsheng with grief and anger, but could not say a word.
There is no place to talk about the sadness.
The emperor didn't speak, and the ministers could do nothing.
The Minister of Revenue still reminded: "Your Majesty is young and ignorant, Elder Ji should understand. According to the "Xianmen Convention", a cultivator like you is not allowed to interfere in Sheng's internal affairs."
"Of course, everyone who knows me knows that I have always abided by the law."
Ministers: "..."
Hard to comment.
But I dare not say no.
Can only remain silent.
Ji Changsheng continued, "I am not here to interfere in the internal affairs of Sheng State. I am here to tell you and your majesty the good news. Your majesty, gentlemen, Sheng State is really rich now."
The Minister of Revenue frowned and asked, "Elder Ji, I am in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Could it be that I am not as knowledgeable about the national treasury as you are?"
Ji Changsheng said patiently: "You understand the national treasury, but you don't understand the private treasury."
"Private vault? What is a private vault?"
It was the first time that the Minister of Revenue had heard this word.
Ji Changsheng explained: "You gentlemen saw that the treasury was empty and the people of the world were living in poverty, so you generously donated money to support the treasury. In this way, Shengguo will have money, right?"
The Minister of Revenue was so angry that he laughed: "Elder Ji, my salary is meager, and it is not enough to support my family, how can I support the national treasury?"
After the words fell, the Minister of Revenue felt that this was too disrespectful to Ji Changsheng, so he immediately added: "Of course, since Elder Ji said so, I will definitely respond. However, my family has no extra money, so I am willing to donate one hundred high-quality spirit stones to enrich the national treasury."
"Minister Niu is truly a role model for our generation."
"I am also willing to donate fifty spirit stones."
"I am about seventy."
……
According to the unspoken rule in official circles, if you are donating money, your donation must not be more than that of your boss.
Otherwise you will be in trouble.
Seeing his ministers donate so generously, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne was very moved.
They are all loyal ministers.
Ji Changsheng was also very moved.
Even though their homes had been confiscated, they were still willing to donate the spirit stones they had stored outside.
Although the donation is not much, isn’t it worth being touched?
"You are truly loyal to the court, but there is no need for donations. This elder is not here to impose levies."
Ji Changsheng's words made everyone put their worries to rest.
It’s better not to apportion it.
Ji Changsheng continued, "I told you that I am only here to announce the good news. Your Majesty, gentlemen, you were just discussing whether the national treasury can afford the spiritual stones to compensate for the cancellation of 'Ru Gou'. I assure you that the national treasury can definitely compensate at least the Danqing Fudi family."
"Elder Ji, please don't speak nonsense." The Minister of Revenue frowned again and said, "I am in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and I know the matter of spirit stones best."
"Minister Niu, you only know one side of the story, not the other."
"What's the second one?"
"Just now, the Six Gates seized 3.7 billion high-quality spirit stones from Minister Niu's house."
Click!
It was a clear day with the sun shining brightly, and he himself was in the Golden Palace, but Minister Niu still heard a bolt from the blue.
He subconsciously thought he was hallucinating.
"Elder Ji, could you please say it again? I didn't hear it clearly just now."
Ji Changsheng is such a good person. Since Minister Niu asked him to say it again, he would satisfy the dead man's request.
"Just now, the Six Gates gathered together the inner guards and seized 3.7 billion high-quality spirit stones from Minister Niu's home."
Seeing Minister Niu's dazed eyes, pale face, and trembling body, Ji Changsheng knew that Minister Niu must be very happy, and he was very happy for him.
"Minister Niu, you have been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for so many years, but you have never seen so many spiritual stones in the national treasury, right? Don't worry, this money will belong to the national treasury from now on. The problem that has plagued the empty national treasury for many years has disappeared. Cry it out, it is not a sin for a man to cry."
Ji Changsheng felt that he was truly kind-hearted.
He fully understood Minister Niu's ecstatic mood at the moment.
"These 3.7 billion high-grade spirit stones alone are almost enough to compensate for the insufficient area of the blessed land of Danqing Blessed Land. Your Majesty, gentlemen, are you very surprised? Hey, Minister Niu, are you so surprised that you are about to faint? How can this be possible?"
Ji Changsheng raised his hand and a stream of water appeared from the void, pouring it directly on Shangshu Niu's head to help him wake up.
How could I feel dizzy at such a joyous moment?
Everybody should rejoice together.
Minister Niu came back to his senses, looked at Ji Changsheng with bloodshot eyes and trembling lips.
"Ji Changsheng, you raided my house?"
Ji Changsheng couldn't let himself be blamed for this, so he seriously corrected him, "It was the Six Gates and the Inner Guards who did it. This elder never does such shameless things as competing with the people for profit."
Minister Niu's trembling spread from his lips to his entire body: "Did you really rob my house?"
Ji Changsheng thought about it and asked tentatively: "Like copying?"
"puff!"
Minister Niu was so angry that he vomited blood.
“If it is enough”, is it enough?
He still has some idea in his mind.
So, “like copied”, did it really copy?
He naturally had an idea in his mind.
Moreover, how could the number of 3.7 billion high-quality spirit stones be so accurate if his house had not been raided?
"Ji Changsheng, you will not die well!"
After saying this, Minister Niu really fainted.
This time, Ji Changsheng did not use the awakening spell on Minister Niu again.
He just sighed lightly and said with relief: "Minister Niu fainted with joy. He has been in charge of the national treasury for many years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. This elder understands his ecstatic mood and will not bother with him. Your Majesty, I am a kind-hearted person who cannot bear to see blood. Please give me a favor and let Minister Niu die a decent death - lingchi at Caishikou."
Ji Changsheng's generosity and kindness made all the officials and His Majesty shudder at the same time.
The Prime Minister was the first to react.
He is the Prime Minister after all.
My mental quality is still better than others.
He knew that Minister Niu could not be saved.
Three billion seven hundred million high-quality spirit stones were seized from his home, and even the gods could not save him.
"Elder Ji is indeed merciful." The Prime Minister first praised Ji Changsheng, and then immediately drew a line between himself and Minister Niu: "I usually see Minister Niu dressed simply, but I didn't expect him to accept so many spirit stones in private. He deserves to be executed by slow slicing."
Ji Changsheng praised the Prime Minister: "The Prime Minister is still aware of the overall situation. No wonder his official position is higher than that of Minister Niu and his family property is larger than that of Minister Niu."
The prime minister's heart almost stopped: "Elder Ji, you are joking. I am a clean-handed person, completely different from a parasite like Minister Niu."
"Yes, we didn't find many spirit stones in the Prime Minister's house." Ji Changsheng nodded and said, "We only found a spirit card of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce in the Prime Minister's house. The Prime Minister's wife said that there are 9.8 billion high-quality spirit stones in the spirit card."
At this point, Ji Changsheng praised the Prime Minister again: "The Prime Minister's spiritual card did not break through 10 billion. I didn't expect this."
The prime minister's face was livid. "I am a veteran minister of three dynasties. Emperor Gaozu personally granted me a red-lettered iron certificate. How dare the Six Gates and the inner guards raid my house? Where is the national law? Where is the imperial edict?"
Ji Changsheng really didn't know that the Prime Minister had such a background.
He is a reasonable man.
So he said to the Prime Minister: "You want an imperial edict? Then I will ask His Majesty to write one for you now."
Chapter 98 Killing and Punishing the Heart
As a disciple of Xuandu Temple, the world's number one righteous sect, Ji Changsheng has always abided by the law.
Those who know him well know that he attaches great importance to rules and would never do anything like punishing without teaching.
Since the Prime Minister, a veteran minister who has served three dynasties with a royal seal, needs an imperial decree to confiscate his property, Ji Changsheng would of course ask for one.
As for the order of raiding the prime minister's house and requesting the imperial edict?
Is this important?
Ji Changsheng thought it was unimportant.
As long as the prime minister's death is reasonable and legal, it is enough.
It would be best if the prime minister was convinced.
So Ji Changsheng said to the new emperor: "Your Majesty, since the Prime Minister has asked for this, then you should write one."
Your Majesty's teeth are almost broken.
But at this moment, he felt a piercing pain.
I even felt like there was a poisonous insect gnawing at my soul.
Big beads of sweat slid down his forehead, and His Majesty no longer dared to have any distracting thoughts.
As the eunuchs beside him presented him with writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, His Majesty wrote with tears in his eyes.
This situation is extremely touching.
Ji Changsheng was a little moved.
There is still a trace of heartache.
