Chapter 294 Inviting the Emperor of Fengdu to the Court
"Don't worry, Grandpa. As long as the people are safe, we can find a way to make money. There's no need to worry about military strength. There's no need to prepare military supplies all the time."
Luo Er said, "If there is anyone who is not afraid of death and dares to attack Dongsheng Country, our Nan Country will definitely support him. When the time comes, I will make him pay the price again."
"Grandpa, you must also know that it took the Southern Kingdom one month to make the 500,000 troops of the Southern Yue Kingdom surrender. Don't worry! You can use these military supplies to help the people first."
"As for the army, ensure basic stability. It's not winter yet, we'll see when it comes. Saving lives is like putting out a fire, so put everything else aside for now."
Luo Er said, "Don't worry, after this matter is over, Xiyue Country and other countries will rush to send you money."
Emperor Xuanwu's heart was suddenly warmed. He obviously didn't expect Luo'er's logic to be so clear.
Moreover, he speaks and acts so calmly, as if even an adult might not have such submission and confidence.
Luo'er's words gave him a sense of peace of mind he had never felt before, as if what he said would definitely come true.
"Okay! I'll listen to you. I'll open the treasury and save the people first. As for the army, I won't spend any unnecessary money for the time being."
Emperor Xuanwu knew that the stakes were too high, but he believed whatever Luo'er said.
However, when Emperor Xuanwu thought about some unexpected outcomes that might occur in the court, he felt a little scared.
Sure enough, when they were discussing the issue of relocating the people, eighty percent of the ministers in the court were against it.
"Grandpa, I will go to the morning court with you tomorrow. I don't think these old guys dare to say a word!"
Luo'er put her hands on her hips angrily, and her arrogant look was extremely cute.
Emperor Xuanwu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he picked her up as if he had seen some treasure, "Then you can stay in your grandmother's palace tonight."
There was an anxious look in his eyes, as if he was really afraid that Luo'er would run away, leaving him alone to face the government affairs.
But sometimes, he actually understood those ministers.
After all, if Emperor Xuanwu could not hear Luo'er's inner voice, he might not have trusted him so much.
Even if I believe it, I will still have some doubts, but as long as I can hear Luo'er's voice.
The child's innocent and lovely appearance and what he thinks in his heart are all real, so what reason does he have not to trust him?
next day
Emperor Xuanwu really took Luo'er to court. It was said that he would spend one million taels of silver to provide resettlement for the people affected by the disaster, so that they could move away from the dangerous place in time.
Sure enough, the court was in an uproar, and voices of opposition were heard one after another.
It was as if the one million taels of silver were wasted in vain and not even a sound was heard when it fell into the water.
What is even more unbearable is that various subsidies this year will also be reduced, which is a huge headache for the ministers.
"Your Majesty, this is just a rumor. It is impossible to judge that a disaster will happen in that place just based on a lucky bag or someone's words."
"Yes, Your Majesty, how can you judge with just one sentence? This one million taels of silver is not a small amount. Besides, our treasury has no money to spend this much money."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you see, there is no movement from the Xiyue Kingdom."
"That place is directly connected to Xiyue Country and is the border between the two countries. Xiyue Country is not anxious, so why should we be anxious?"
The voices of the ministers became more and more intense, and the court seemed to be in chaos.
For the court officials, the life and death of some refugees was of no importance to them at all.
Even if these people really died, even if an earthquake really happened, so what?
As long as they don't waver, their status and money will be fine.
If any problems arise in the army, the general's power will inevitably be reduced, so who would be willing to do that?
"Have you said enough? If you have, it's my turn to speak."
Luo'er clasped her hands together and stood on Long's table with an arrogant look.
"Do you still doubt my fortune-telling ability? Do you still want me to tell you some of your family's affairs? Only then will you believe that this great disaster is real?"
"Or maybe you knew it was true, but you just didn't want to save those people, thinking they were lowly and unworthy of being saved by the country."
“Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Those of you who have read the books of the sages understand this.”
"So, do you not believe me or do you think the people are too lowly to deserve your sympathy and treatment?"
Luo'er looked at their expressions and suddenly knew what they were going to say next, so he directly blocked their mouths.
"The affairs of the court are all prioritized. Human life is more important than anything else. You understand this principle better than anyone else. I can guarantee that Dongsheng will never be bullied by any country in the future."
"But the most urgent task is to solve the problems of people's lives, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Everything must be prioritized. If all the people die, who will join the army and fight in the war?"
The ministers were speechless due to his passionate words.
It took them a long time to recover and they were speechless at being confronted by a three-year-old child.
I really feel so embarrassed that I've even thrown myself at my grandma's house...
But the thought of Luo'er talking nonstop was quite scary. What if he talked about his family affairs again? Thinking of these ministers, he couldn't help but hide behind.
But soon they felt that they could not be so weak. After all, this matter concerned their jobs, and they had already donated their money to the court.
Now some subsidies have to be stopped, which is extremely terrible.
If they don't resist, they will die. After all, they have so many people to support.
Some families even have more than ten concubines, and the entire family's expenses are at least more than five hundred taels of silver a month.
Some subsidies were stopped, resulting in a loss of at least three to four thousand taels of silver a year.
Thinking of this, they almost wanted to die if they really let Emperor Xuanwu take out these silver coins.
This is more painful than digging out his heart...
“Although Princess Shengyang does have some abilities, this is a national crisis.
I heard that the Taoist priests in Xiyue Country are very powerful, and even he couldn't figure it out. I thought Princess Shengyang is still young, so it's better not to get involved in these things."
"Yes, little Princess Shengyang, you should take a rest. After all, you are still young and don't understand many things yet."
Those ministers became anxious and began to threaten death.
Kneeling on the ground, his voice was filled with sadness, "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty really does something foolish like this, then I can only crash into the Golden Throne Hall and die, with blood splattered three feet, to advise the king with my life."
"Whoever dares to hit me, after he dies, I will immediately let his soul experience the life of the people around Lin County, so that he can understand the pain of being displaced."
Luo'er jumped down directly, and the little hair on her head stood up in anger.
She stood at the front of the Golden Throne Hall with an arrogant demeanor, as if she was fearless.
The man hesitated for a moment, and naturally still didn't believe that Luo'er had such great ability.
How could she even control the underworld?
"Your Majesty, today, I, an old minister, will use my life to advise Your Majesty to revoke your order!"
The Grand Master shouted at the top of his lungs, his face full of despair and determination.
After saying this, he turned to look at the stone lion beside him, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
He took a deep breath and rushed towards the stone lion, ready to use his life to persuade the emperor.
For a moment, the entire Golden Palace fell into chaos.
The ministers were panicked and shouted to stop the Grand Tutor.
The emperor was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
However, at this critical moment, Luo'er suddenly took action.
She snapped her fingers lightly, and instantly, a cold air spread out, as if freezing the entire room.
The old minister who wanted to commit suicide was fixed in mid-air by the magic cast by Luo'er and could not move.
Luo Er said coldly: "Want to die? Sure! I'll let you meet the Emperor of Fengdu right now."
As she spoke, she took out a piece of talisman paper from her bosom and lit it.
In an instant, the entire Golden Throne Hall became extremely cold, as if entering an ice cellar.
At the same time, the candles in the hall began to burn inexplicably, and the flames swayed in the wind, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill, and some even shivered.
A moment later, a majestic and tall figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
His appearance was like a dream, unreal, yet so real.
That person was none other than the revered King of Fengdu!
