Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Chapter 366 Going to court

Xiao Lengyue said calmly: "The Song Mansion's grievances have been cleared, and the General's Mansion has been repaired and can be moved in at any time."

After saying that, Xiao Lengyue waved his hand, and the army began to move towards the Yuan Dynasty.

And Song Ye went to the border.

After half a month, Xiao Lengyue finally returned to the capital. At this moment, Old Master Murong was leading all the officials to kneel at the city gate and shouted, "Your Majesty is welcome back to the palace."

Xiao Lengyue looked through the carriage curtain and saw all the officials kneeling on the ground, and the leader was his own master.

She applied her inner strength and said coldly, "Everyone, get up."

After hearing this, Old Tutor Murong and all the officials bowed to Xiao Lengyue, then stood up and began to retreat to the sides.

It is impossible for such a large army to return to the capital, so only a small part of it was left behind, while the rest of the army was led by Leng Huaiyi to the military camp in the suburbs.

Xiao Lengyue's carriage slowly drove towards the palace, and both sides of the street were filled with kneeling people.

Looking at the smiles on their faces, the eldest prince of Chaoyang Kingdom frowned and said, "Are there no people who are unwilling?"

Seeing him like this, the Second Prince said, "A wise ruler will be loved by the people."

Ever since they entered the Yuan Dynasty, whenever they passed through a city, they could see that wherever Xiao Lengyue passed, the people would kneel on the street to welcome their emperor.

After watching it more, they all calmed down.

Although Xiao Lengyue was not in the capital during this period, Old Tutor Murong would write to her to tell her when she was in the court.

She naturally knew that the people were so excited because the sweet potatoes, lumps of earth, and rice that she had taught them to grow before were all starting to show results.

In another half a month, the autumn harvest will begin, and that’s when it will shock the whole country.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Lengyue's mouth slightly raised.

These things should be able to help people solve the problem of food and clothing, right?

Xiao Lengyue returned to the palace, washed up first, and then went to the Yangxin Palace.

At this moment, Old Tutor Murong was waiting in the Yangxin Palace with all the officials.

Xiao Lengyue was a little tired. She looked at the officials and said, "My dear ministers, if it is not urgent, please tell me when you go to court tomorrow.

Today, I will deal with the most urgent matter first."

When all the officials heard this, they nodded obediently. Their emperor was so powerful that he unified the country after leading the army in person.

Now, in their eyes, no matter what Xiao Lengyue said, they thought it was right.

Seeing that none of the officials were prepared to speak, Old Grand Tutor Murong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the Autumn Examination will begin in half a month. I, the Minister of Personnel, and I have prepared several test questions. Your Majesty needs to select the test questions."

Xiao Lengyue nodded when she heard this, "Okay, I'll choose in a moment."

The scientific examination is an important matter, and that is why Xiao Lengyue rushed back so anxiously.

Since the officials had no urgent matters to attend to, Xiao Lengyue asked them to go back.

In the Yangxin Palace, after she selected all the test questions, she handed them to the old tutor Murong and the Minister of Personnel.

Old Grand Tutor Murong and the Minister of Personnel looked through it and saw that there was no problem. They bowed and said, "I will go down and prepare it now."

Xiao Lengyue nodded and said solemnly: "The scientific examination is important, so please don't let anything leak the questions."

When Old Tutor Murong and the Minister of Personnel heard what Xiao Lengyue meant, they bowed and left the palace.

Xiao Lengyue went to rest directly after dinner.

During this period, she almost always slept in the carriage, and she fell asleep in bed after a short while.

The next day, when attending court, all the officials summarized everything that had happened during this period to Xiao Lengyue.

Xiao Lengyue listened to their report, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Before, she disliked that their memorials were too wordy, so she ordered them to use concise words to express things clearly.

After this period of time, Xiao Lengyue clearly felt that they had learned to be concise when talking about things.

This made Xiao Lengyue very satisfied, and what made her most satisfied was the grain in the imperial farm. The output was estimated to be considerable. As long as she waited another half a month, she could calculate the output.

After seeing that they had finished speaking, Xiao Lengyue said calmly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

After Xiao Lengyue said this, she saw a man walking forward.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Xiao Lengyue looked at the person in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you the new Minister of Revenue?"

The man didn't expect Xiao Lengyue to know him, so he nodded, "Yes."

Xiao Lengyue led the troops to fight, and the Ministry of Revenue was responsible for food and fodder, but when she needed food and fodder, the Minister of Revenue could not solve the problem, so she removed him from his position.

Although she asked Leng Haoxuan to buy food at the mall, it was not a solution to always rely on that mall.

These people take their salaries with peace of mind, but when it comes to doing things, they delay and push things off as much as possible. In this case, there are many capable people who can sit in this position.

Xiao Lengyue asked Tianze to check and found out that this person was a subordinate of the Minister of Revenue and he was the one who handled all the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue did not come up with any ideas and sat firmly in this position for three years.

After finding out the truth, she asked the old tutor Murong to confiscate the man's property and made him the Minister of Revenue.

Xiao Lengyue remembered it when she saw his court robes.

She looked at his calm appearance, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

"What do you have to report?"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue bowed and said, "Your Majesty, in half a month, the Ministry of Agriculture will begin the autumn harvest. I would like to pay back the grain owed to the people as soon as the grain is harvested."

After the Minister of Revenue said this, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but when he thought about how the people were willing to endure hunger to lend him grain when he went to borrow grain, he calmed down.

After hearing this, Xiao Lengyue frowned and asked, "Did you borrow the food and grass you collected from the people before?"

The Minister of Revenue nodded and bowed, saying: "There is no money in the treasury, so we can't buy grain even if we want to.

So, I came up with this idea. "

After hearing this, Xiao Lengyue was slightly stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "If I remember correctly, there should be some silver in the treasury?"

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, he bowed and said, "There is silver in the treasury, but that silver cannot be moved."

Seeing Xiao Lengyue's expression, Old Master Murong explained, "Your Majesty, the late emperor stipulated that at least half of the silver in the treasury must be kept as a reserve fund and cannot be touched.

If you want to use it, you need your Majesty's consent, and you can only use the silver if you bring the jade dragon jade pendant.

But at that time, the soldiers had already set out, but the food and fodder had not been brought in. If I had sent the letter to Your Majesty and returned, the soldiers would have already starved."

Xiao Lengyue didn't expect that there was such a rule. She took a deep breath and looked up at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
