Chapter 5056 They are all a group of pigs
"Food? Is there something wrong with me?" Qi Xingyun paced back and forth twice, holding his chin with his fingers, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Do you usually feel particularly unwell?" Yang Ruoqing hesitated and then continued: "Originally I shouldn't have said this. If it were the late emperor, I wouldn't dare to say it, but now I feel I have to say, Your Majesty, there seems to be something wrong with your body. It is a kind of qi, which means that your life span has been greatly shortened. I can’t tell you the details. In short, It is still necessary to go back and check."
"Okay, I will give a secret order to check it later."
In fact, Qi Xingyun has been feeling powerless recently and is particularly prone to fatigue. But he just thought that he had stayed up too late, and he had no other thoughts. He just wanted to get through this period, take a good rest, and recuperate for a while.
But now there are too many affairs in the court, and he is holding on to power so tightly that he can no longer rest for the time being.
Who knew that Yang Ruoqing would actually say such words today, so he really needs to be careful.
Be careful and you are never wrong. No matter if there is any problem or not, you will never go wrong by checking it out.
"Let's put this aside for now, Qing'er, how are you preparing for the imperial guard competition?" Qi Xingyun changed the topic and looked at Yang Ruoqing and asked.
Yang Ruoqing replied: "Everything is going according to plan. The venue at the Golden Snake Guard is also being prepared. It should be completed in advance, leaving plenty of time."
A faint smile appeared on the corners of Qi Xingyun's lips, and he put his hands behind his back: "Come, let's talk as we walk, cross this arch bridge, and sit in the pavilion opposite."
Yang Ruoqing nodded and said, "Okay. Ah, let’s take a walk.”
She noticed that although Qi Xingyun had no one with him, there were many imperial guards hidden nearby, all of whom were elites selected from the imperial guards. , a particularly enlightened and die-hard loyalist to the emperor.
Qi Xingyun is still the same as before, so afraid of death.
The deck of the arch bridge is paved with white marble, and the casting of the bridge body is very consistent with mechanics and has a beautiful shape. This is a true work of art and the crystallization of human wisdom.
"Qing'er, tell me, why are you still selling tickets? Aren't you rich enough?" Qi Xingyun asked as he climbed the steps.
“It’s not enough, Your Majesty, have you forgotten the World Business Alliance we cooperated with? The treasury is now empty, and money needs to be used everywhere. You see, there is the Liao Dynasty in the north, the Black Lotus Sect in the south, and the Qin and Han Dynasties in the east. Your Majesty, the barbarian king of the southwest, the people of Daxia in the west, there are still many potential dangers inside. , all kinds of droughts and floods, money is needed everywhere.”
“The imperial guard competition is a matter that consumes silver, and it is also an extremely important thing. After all, you can rely on the competition. To enhance the combat power of the Imperial Guard, so that it will not become an empty frame when needed. …But compared with other major court affairs, this seems a bit insignificant.”
“So, I feel that I can’t put any additional burden on Da Qi, so I am going to persuade a few wealthy businessmen. As well as Xungui, everyone collected money together to give this competition to Feng Fengguang. It’s all done.”
“In addition, I thought of selling tickets. Half of the money will go to the national treasury, and the other half will be given to His Majesty personally. Those who are willing to pay will also give back. Partly, this also shows that the court is not gracious!”
Yang Ruoqing had already prepared how to persuade Qi Xingyun.
With Da Qi’s current situation, what Qi Xingyun thinks of most is naturally money.
You will never die if you do what you like. This is also the ultimate way for human beings to get along with each other.
And Yang Ruoqing knows Qi Xingyun.
Although Qi Xingyun is a multi-faceted person who is both cold, cruel and tender, he cannot refuse money no matter what.
Now, as she described, a large amount of silver piled up seemed to have been placed in front of Qi Xingyun.
Will he not be moved? How is that possible!
“Don’t worry that the Imperial Guards will become corrupted. They will only work hard for money. In addition, I have asked people to publicize these things. They are all His Majesty’s grace, so they get the money. They are the only ones who will be grateful. There is only one, and that is Your Majesty." Yang Ruoqing added more pressure.
These words instantly pierced Qi Xingyun’s heart. Yes, he is short of money now.
He is the supreme emperor of this empire. He should have been rich all over the world, but the reality is that he has become a complete poor man. People everywhere are screaming at him for money, but how can he have so much money?
Official officials have to be paid, military expenses for wars have to be paid, disaster relief money has to be given... nothing can be saved.
Hey, worry about your life, this position is not easy to do.
“Is 50% less?” Qi Xingyun thought for a while and asked.
Hearing that Qi Xingyun started to come over to discuss the price, Yang Ruoqing felt happy, it was probably done.
"Your Majesty, I think there is another benefit to this matter."
"What benefit?" Qi Xingyun asked doubtfully.
“Look, the people don’t know how powerful the Imperial Guards are at all. Your Majesty can issue a decree to let the people watch the competition. This will allow the people to see how powerful our Daqi Imperial Guards are, and people’s hearts will be lifted. It will be stable," Yang Ruoqing explained.
Qi Xingyun was silent.
This is a good idea. People's hearts and minds are extremely important.
If he can gain the support of all the people, his position will be secure.
Qi Xingyun said: "I'm sure about this, Qing'er, so I won't bother you. Just go and help Jiang Wulang in the competition."
"Okay! "These are the words Yang Ruoqing was waiting for.
"From now on, you will make your own decisions about these competitions, and you will not come here to talk about it anymore..."
"In addition, I already know about Yuanlong. In fact, that They are just a group of villains in a dark corner, we should not be underestimated If you ignore it, you don’t need to take it too seriously. I’ll leave this matter to you, Qing’er. Those who can do it will do the hard work. I will give you a secret edict, a formal status as an imperial envoy, a Shangfang sword, and a sword below the fifth rank. The minister can kill first and report later.”
Qi Xingyun's words showed his imperial demeanor. He acted freely and made decisions in an instant without being sloppy.
Yang Ruoqing sighed in her heart, if it was time to take the reins as emperor, Qi Xingyun was really much stronger than the eldest prince and the others, with a natural imperial aura.
After Yang Ruoqing left, Qi Xingyun was still thinking about what Yang Ruoqing said.
The nearby father-in-law Wang Yun also came to listen at any time.
"Qing'er, this woman is really amazing. It would be great if she could be in charge of the court's finances. The court has a lot of properties, but they are all managed by a bunch of pigs!"
"Wang Yun, don't you think so?"
"Your Majesty, this old slave is dim-sighted. How can he know about these important court affairs." Wang Yun wiped his eyes.
"You guys, you are too obvious about protecting yourself. It's boring. It's boring." Qi Xingyun sighed. At this moment, he thought of many people and things in the past, and felt a little confused for a moment.
