Chapter 144 The Game Begins (23)

"Long live my emperor!"

The Han Dynasty Imperial Palace.

Inside the Golden Palace.

All civil and military officials knelt down with great momentum.

"Loves, please be flat!" Li Xiaoyao, sitting on the majestic dragon chaise, waved his hand majestic face.

All civil and military officials stood up, all of them held their heads with their chests raised, and stood excitedly on both sides of the Golden Palace.

Although the Han court did not hold an early court in the past ten days, the good news on the front line was never late.

All the ministers hoped that the court would be held soon, and they were looking forward to sharing this joy with the sage lord who was rare in a thousand years in the Han Dynasty.

In the past, they went to the morning court just to treat it as a routine act, but now they are very much looking forward to the morning court.

Li Xiaoyao glanced at His Highness and ministers, and looked at them all with great spirits. Then, his face remained unchanged and he said domineeringly and majestic: "I have worked hard all these days!"

Joy appeared on the faces of the ministers.

"Your Majesty, I won't work hard."

"Hyit!" Li Xiaoyao's face froze, shocking the ministers to the point of being confused.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Chen Guoliang, during this period, you have raised money and food for the front-line army, and you have not had a stable sleep yet, right?"

"Your Majesty..." Chen Guoliang did not expect that Li Xiaoyao could see his hard work and was immediately moved.

"Your Majesty, this is all my duty." After saying that, Chen Guoliang walked out of the queue and knelt on the Golden Palace.

"Premium!" Li Xiaoyao said in a peaceful tone: "It's a good idea to think of using IOUs to raise money and food from wealthy businessmen..."

"Thank you for your praise," Chen Guoliang bowed slightly.

In fact, he felt a little ashamed. Shouldn’t he write an IOU if he borrowed money from wealthy businessmen?

Could it be that Your Majesty is not planning to repay?

But the Han Dynasty has never had such a precedent. Moreover, if the king of a country does not keep his word, wouldn’t it make people all over the world laugh?

Chen Guoliang was a little nervous by Li Xiaoyao's words and felt nervous.

"Liu Guodong!" Li Xiaoyao looked over.

"I'm here!"

Liu Guodong walked out of the queue and stood in the middle of the hall and bowed.

"The frontline war, but you can still implement the new policy wholeheartedly. This is very good. I've read it right."

"Thank you for your praise, but this credit does not belong to you, but to you."

"How do you say this?" Li Xiaoyao became a little curious.

"Your Majesty, I dare not be greedy for merit. Without your wise decision-making, the Chu and Zhao armies were defeated step by step, and the old minister would not be able to implement the new policy with peace of mind! So, this is your credit."

"Hahaha..." Li Xiaoyao laughed to the sky. Liu Guodong was really flawless when he slapped the dragon's fart.

"Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor!" Seeing that Li Xiaoyao was in a good mood, the ministers crawled and knelt on the ground.

At this time, Lin Shicang looked up and said with great enthusiasm: "Your Majesty, now the front line is a great victory, and the Empress is pregnant with a dragon son again. This is a happy moment. This is also a good omen for God to bless our Han Kingdom! I beg Your Majesty to choose an auspicious day to worship the heavens to thank God for his mercy on our Han Kingdom."

The Empress is pregnant with Long Zi.

The ministers muttered a few words, then shouted in unison again: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

"My dear friends, please calm down!" Li Xiaoyao said with a slightest lips: "Lin Shicang, this sacrifice to heaven should be arranged by your Ministry of Rites!"

"I obey the order!" Lin Shicang led the order and retreated to the queue.

Li Xiaoyao looked at Ye Hongyuan and continued, "Ye Hongyuan, when you came back from Yiluo City, you are busy setting up recruitment offices across the country and reorganizing local troops. You have worked hard during this period!"

"Your Majesty, I am not working hard. I can watch our Han country become stronger and stronger. Even if I work hard, I am willing." Ye Hongyuan stepped out and bowed and said.

"Well..." Li Xiaoyao nodded happily, then looked at Hua Yuanbao, the Minister of Works.

This flower ingot was originally a wealthy gentry, but because of the huge amount of money to help the first emperor of the Han Dynasty, he gained the titles from generation to generation.

Unexpectedly, when it came to Hua Yuanbao's generation, he actually climbed to the position of Minister of Works.

This time, he was so happy when he heard that Li Xiaoyao was going to raise money and food from the wealthy businessman.

This news was disclosed to other branches in the family as soon as possible.

Looking at Li Xiaoyao's eyes turned to him, Hua Yuanbao felt excited.

"Flower Ingot!"

"I'm here!" He shook his fat body, squeezed out of the queue, and knelt respectfully on the ground.

"This time you have made an indelible contribution to raise money and grain for the army and invested in the construction of the reservoir..."

"Your Majesty, this is all my duty." Hua Yuanbao said generously.

"Yes!" Li Xiaoyao nodded and said with appreciation: "Okay! Our Han Kingdom needs a selfless and generous minister like you."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty." Hua Yuanbao replied happily.

"Let's flat!" Li Xiaoyao waved his hand: "Your body should be very tired even if you kneel."

"Ah..." Hua Yuanbao was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Li Xiaoyao to suggest that he was obedient.

Then, he stood up with some difficulty and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion for me."

Li Xiaoyao smiled, moved his body and said, "Hua Yuanbao, the reservoir in the southwest border is about to be completed. I am very optimistic about your talents, so I plan to let you build a canal that leads from the capital to Hengcheng."

Building a canal?

When Hua Yuanbao heard this, he almost collapsed on the ground. Since the old man Wang passed away, in order to leave a good impression on Li Xiaoyao, he paid the silver for subsequent construction of the reservoir by himself.

Now Li Xiaoyao proposed to build a canal by himself, so the silver...

Now, the treasury is so empty that it can no longer be empty. Isn’t it obvious that I want to continue paying for it?

Yes, his family is not short of money, but the construction of a canal can be built in just tens of thousands of taels or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

It will cost at least a few million taels.

Seeing that Hua Yuanbao's face was pale and a little lost, Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly and said in a deep tone: "Hua Aiqing, is there any hidden secrets? Why not tell me it."

"No, no." Hua Yuanbao woke up and replied in a daze.

"Well..." Li Xiaoyao nodded with satisfaction: "Hua Aiqing is worthy of being the number one capable official in my Han Dynasty. I am very optimistic about you."

"Thank you for your love, this... is what I should do." Hua Yuanbao said with pain and pain.

"Report..." Just as the ministers in the hall were watching Hua Yuanbao jokes, a loud voice sounded outside the hall.

Everyone in the hall looked at the entrance of the Golden Palace.
