As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

Chapter 793: negotiation

 After returning to the palace, Jiang Ming fell asleep.

 He has to go to court tomorrow and he needs to recharge his batteries.

Above the imperial court, Jiang Ming sat in the main seat and looked down.

 All the officials were lowering their heads.

Seeing Jiang Ming coming, they all knelt down and saluted Jiang Ming.

 “His Royal Highness the Savior, welcome you here.”

 The etiquette here is different from that in other countries.

Jiang Ming was a little surprised, then he waved his hand and said: "An."

The officials stood up immediately.

 Huang Dasheng took the lead and took the initiative to admonish Jiang Ming.

“Your Highness the Savior, the problem of water canals in the south is particularly serious now, and bigger floods are spreading. If it is not solved, those people will revolt.”

"The whole country will be in chaos by then. We hope you can solve this problem and not let Qingguo Country be in danger."

 As Huang Dasheng came out, other officials also came out one after another, and they all elaborated on how to solve this problem.

Jiang Ming pretended to be bored, yawned and ignored everyone.

Huang Dasheng’s face turned dark immediately, and then he said: “What do you mean? Is it possible that you don’t want to solve this matter?”

"As the owner of this Qingguo Kingdom, you should solve problems for the people."

"What about you? Aren't you also officials of the Qingguo Kingdom? Why don't you want to solve the problem yourself and help the civilians?"

“I have already solved one thing, and it is up to you to solve the rest.”

Jiang Ming responded directly.

 In his opinion, these officials are of no use at all and can only write and criticize.

 Huang Dasheng coughed and said with some embarrassment: "We still have our own affairs to manage. As for you, as the ruler of the Qingguo Kingdom, it is a big problem to ignore it."

“I think the flooding will cause a lot of poor people to appear, so your food and clothing expenses should be halved to help the poor. As for the canal issue, I will take care of it.”

Jiang Ming said lazily.

 Hearing this, Huang Dasheng's expression changed again and again.

 He ​​has always focused on food and clothing expenses. If it is reduced by half now, wouldn't it be impossible for him to maintain the previous food and clothing expenses?

He shook his head anxiously and said: "Your Highness, I have always been frugal. If I become frugal again, I will not have enough to eat or wear, and neither will the officials below."

“If food, clothing, housing and transportation are not good enough, how can they govern the things below?”

"How come you, as an official, can't even bear this grievance? Those civilians are going to starve to death, and you are not starving to death, so you should just lose weight. You have a strong physique and you need to lose weight."

Jiang Ming completely ignored it.

 All the officials suddenly began to complain.

Jiang Ming waved his hand and said: "If nothing happens, just retreat from the court."

The Prime Minister couldn't bear it anymore and stood up quickly and said: "Your Highness the Savior, when the previous emperor was still alive, he never deducted our food and clothing expenses, and even released the national treasury to provide relief to the common people."

"But what do you do? You want to deduct it from the food, clothing, housing and transportation of us officials. Isn't it difficult for us?"

"You also said that as a ruler, I have the responsibility to deal with some issues, so why can't you, as officials who enjoy it, not be able to deal with the issues?"

Jiang Ming responded unceremoniously. Then he stood up and said: "I will withdraw from the court now. If there is any further controversy, it will not be too late to talk."

Jiang Ming left the dynasty without waiting for anyone else to say anything. Seeing him leave, the prime minister's face turned green.

He waved his hand angrily, and Huang Dasheng quickly flattered him: "Prime Minister, His Highness the Savior doesn't take you seriously at all. I don't think you need to give him face. You will have to endure hardships when the time comes." The head is the one." After thinking about it for a moment, the Prime Minister burst into laughter.

“He’s just a kid, can he fight with me? We’ll see!”

Back in the palace, Zhu Asi learned about the situation in the court and asked Jiang Ming specifically.

Jiang Ming touched his nose and said, "I think they will make their next move soon. Let's wait and see."

Princess Qingmiao continued: "Should the banquet at Prince Liang's place continue to be postponed? He held it specially for you. Isn't it good to postpone it like this?"

 “It’s better to postpone it until the matter of these officials is settled.”

Jiang Ming looked indifferent.

At this moment, the boy suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of Jiang Ming.

“Your Highness the Savior, the county commander came to visit you and said he had something separate to explain to you.”

Jiang Ming smiled secretly.

This Huang Dasheng is finally here, he has been waiting for a long time.

 He drove those people out and left Huang Dasheng alone.

Seeing Jiang Ming's strange behavior, Zhu Asi and others didn't understand it very well, and there was something strange in their eyes.

This was the first time they saw Jiang Ming wanting to talk to someone alone. What could happen between Jiang Ming and the county commander?

 Besides, wasn’t it the first time he met the county commander? Why does it feel like something big happened?

 Huang Dasheng walked into the side hall, knelt down and saluted Jiang Ming: "See His Highness the Savior."

 “Get up, what do you want?”

Jiang Ming motioned to Huang Dasheng to sit down.

Huang Dasheng said with a smile: "Now that you have just ascended the throne, many officials and things are not stable. You also need some help from some forces, right?"

"unnecessary."

Jiang Ming showed no mercy and did not give Huang Dasheng a chance at all.

Huang Dasheng's face changed, and then he laughed awkwardly and said: "His Royal Highness the Savior really doesn't need help? Now there are only you and me, you don't have to hide from me."

“As for my sincerity, I hope you can look at it carefully. I sincerely want to help His Highness the Savior.”

“I feel that I don’t need anyone to help me consolidate my current position. Besides, as an ordinary county commander, how can you help me?”

Jiang Ming pretended to be suspicious and looked at Huang Dasheng with his eyes.

Huang Dasheng smiled and said: "If I am just an ordinary county commander, of course I can't help you, but what if I am not ordinary?"

"So, are you colluding in private? Do you know that this is a capital crime?"

Jiang Ming drank tea slowly and did not give Huang Dasheng any face.

Huang Dasheng became embarrassed and said: "Your Highness the Savior, I am just getting along with friends. You really said it too harshly."

 He felt a little angry.

What is going on with His Highness the Savior? Why are you not moved at all? Could it be that the temptation you sent out is too little?

"You can leave. Don't let me catch you. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave now. Rest in peace."

 Jiang Ming began to drive people away.

 Now Huang Dasheng is still useful.

Huang Dasheng sighed and said: "Your Highness the Savior, why are you so stubborn? Now it's impossible for you to sit firmly alone." (End of this chapter)
