"Your cheap dad let himself go into the palace to recuperate?"

Luo Chen frowned, a little incredible, why is this so? Is it to release yourself?

"Your Highness, take the order!" Gonggong Gao held the holy decree in his hand and spoke majestically.

"The son of the minister accepts the order, thank your father and Emperor Longen!" Luo Chen bowed respectfully again and took the holy decree.

"Your Highness, get even! Now that His Majesty's will has been conveyed, our family will retire first, Your Highness hurry up and pack up and enter the palace as soon as possible! Gao Gonggong arched his hand and got up to leave!

"Hey! Father-in-law, wait a minute! Luo Chen hurriedly stepped up, took out a silver ticket from his arms, and stuffed it: "Father-in-law, do you know what happened when my father summoned me to the palace?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Gonggong Gao's eyes, and then he quietly stuffed the silver ticket into his arms and whispered: "It was the queen mother who heard that Her Royal Highness was injured and spoke to Your Majesty......"

Luo Chen suddenly realized: "It turned out to be my cheap mother!" ”

Through the memories of his predecessor, Luo Chen knew that his biological mother was none other than the Queen of Great Xia, Su Jin!

"In this way, thank you Grandpa Gao, you go back first! I'll arrange the affairs of the palace and immediately enter the palace to meet my father! Luo Chen nodded and said.

"Good!"

……

After sending off Gonggong Gao, Luo Chen explained to the housekeeper, told Qin Hu and Xue Rengui again, and got up and entered the palace.

Great Xia Palace, the Imperial Study.

Several princesses stood respectfully on either side, deliberating on the issue of horse attrition.

"Your Majesty, the recent loss of war horses has been serious, and the military expenditure has been exceeded, so please ask Your Majesty to allocate some more military funds for the purchase of war horses!" Xu Chang, the secretary of the military department, bowed to Emperor Xia, and his tone was a little helpless.

"Nope! Asking for money is no! Hearing that he was asking for money again, Li Zheng, the head of the household department, shook his head directly: "In the past two years, the six counties in Jiangbei have been in a series of droughts, and in order to provide for disaster relief, coupled with the military expenditure in the south, the treasury has long been unable to make ends meet. ”

"If you don't have money to buy war horses, do you want to ride people to fight? Our cavalry is inferior to the Nanban, if we can't even match the war horses, what can we do to defend against the barbarians? Xu Chang's face turned red, and he said in a chiseled manner.

"However, I really can't come up with the money, the entire treasury combined, no more than 300,000 silver, is a drop in the bucket, and it has to be used for some daily expenses, what do you want me to do?"

Li Zheng's face was bitter, even if he saved again and again on weekdays, but he still couldn't fill this gap!

"Alright, don't argue." Emperor Xia watched the two ministers arguing endlessly, and said majestically.

"Anyuan, Yiju, what do you think?" Emperor Xia looked tired and looked at his right arm, Su Xun on the left, and Jiang Shang on the right.

The two glanced at each other, and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, and finally Su Xun stood up and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the annual loss of my horses in Daxia is as high as one million taels of money, mainly because the wear and tear of the horse's hooves causes the war horse to retire early, and finally has to be reduced to a plate, which is really distressing." ”

"However, my Great Xia borders the four countries of the Central Plains, and there are even more southern barbarians in the south, if the cavalry loses combat effectiveness, once the barbarians ride north, what can we resist?"

A hint of powerlessness flashed in Su Xun's eyes, and he continued: "Therefore, this military expenditure must be allocated, and military strength is the foundation of the country, so even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, we must take out this money." ”

"That's right, this money has to be scraped together, and moreover, it must be no less, and there will be no deductions." Right Prime Minister Jiang Shang nodded in agreement and said in a firm tone.

"However, the two lords, now that the treasury is empty, we ......" Li Zheng looked aggrieved, he was dignified and still in the house, and he would actually cry poor!

"How much money do you have left?" Emperor Xia rubbed his head and looked at Xu Chang, the secretary of the military department.

"Your Majesty, it's still about ...... 700,000 taels! Xu Chang roughly calculated, and was also taken aback by this number.

A horse is about ten yuan, that is, ten thousand dollars, one tael of silver is one penny, and the purchase of 70,000 horses also requires at least 700,000 taels of silver!

"700,000 taels!"

Emperor Xia also trembled, and after a while, he said, "Allocate 200,000 taels from the Inner Palace!" As for the other 500,000, it's up to you to figure it out! ”

"So...... That's good! Su Xun's eyes flashed, and he said, "I am willing to donate 100,000 taels!" ”

It is not uncommon to hear Su Xun say this, the Su family is the first family in Daxia, inherited for hundreds of years, and the heritage is very profound, although 100,000 taels is a lot, but for the Su family, it is just a drizzle.

"Good! All right! An Yuan is really a charcoal in the snow! Emperor Xia suddenly smiled, the sorrow between his eyebrows was also less, and he looked at his eldest brother with appreciation.

"Your Majesty, King Xiaoyao has been waiting outside the palace for a long time, do you want to announce him in?" Gao Gonggong took the opportunity to report.

Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Has this kid been here for a while? ”

"Yes! His Highness has been waiting for more than half an hour. Gao Gonggong smiled, but his voice was chilling.

"Then let him in!" Emperor Xia leaned on the dragon chair, feeling helpless when he thought of this son.

"Hey! I heard that His Royal Highness has a bad reputation in Beijing! Right Prime Minister Jiang Shang sighed lightly and said.

"The eldest prince has already been on the battlefield at his age, and now he is leading an army alone and is invincible, but the second prince is ......" Zhao Shi'an, the prince of Zhao Guo, also shook his head secretly, obviously not having a good impression of the second prince!

Luo Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Gao Gonggong call him in, damn, he was dried for an hour, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!"

After Luo Chen entered the hall, he glanced at the middle-aged man on the dragon chair, dressed in a nine-clawed dragon robe, his face was extremely majestic, and the whole person exuded a domineering atmosphere, which was fascinating.

"Is this Diwei? Sure enough, he deserves to be the king of a country! ”

"Let's get flat!"

Emperor Xia's eyes were calm, he looked at his son, who had not been seen for many days, and said, "I heard that you accidentally fell off the horse and were injured?" ”

"Father Lao is worried, his son's injury has healed, and his father doesn't need to worry." After Luo Chen got up, his face was calm, there was no wave in his eyes, and he said lightly.

Emperor Xia and all the ministers were shocked, this second prince seemed to be a little different from a few days ago.

"Oh?" Emperor Xia couldn't help but look surprised: "It's okay, let's go see your queen mother!" I haven't seen you for many days, and he misses you so much! ”

"Erchen will go now." Luo Chen bowed lightly, ready to retire, but saw the ministers on the side all with sad faces.

"Father, all the important ministers of the court and the central government have gathered here, but what trouble have you encountered?"

When Emperor Xia heard Luo Chen's question, he couldn't help but be shocked, and laughed: "My son has actually begun to care about the government and politics!" ”

Then he shook his head: "It's a pity that you can't help with this matter!" ”

Luo Chen couldn't help but look puzzled: "Father may wish to say it, if it is possible, the son is willing to share the worries of his father!" ”

"If only you had this heart! After I go back, I will read more sage books, cultivate my self-cultivation, and let me get into trouble less! Seeing that Luo Chen had this intention, Emperor Xia didn't want to hit Luo Chen's self-motivation, so he shook his head gently.

"Huh!" Luo Chen's face was suddenly full of black lines: "Could it be that in the eyes of my father, my sons will only cause trouble?" ”

Emperor Xia said angrily: "Isn't it? ”

Looking at this father and son, their eyes widened one by one, this is not like a conversation between monarchs and ministers, but more like an ordinary father and son.

Xia Huang also found that his words were a little different from usual, but he liked this feeling very much.

"Okay, since you insist on asking, Xu Chang, you can tell Zixuan!"

Zixuan, it is Luo Chen's words, after Xu Chang heard it, he secretly shook his head in his heart, how could such a gentleman solve such a difficulty, but since His Majesty has opened the golden mouth, he has to say it again.

"Your Highness, it's because of the loss of horses, and the ...... military spending"

Xu Chang briefly introduced the matter, and Luo Chen suddenly pouted lightly: "That's it?" ”

"Boom! Trigger system tasks to solve hoof wastage. ”
