"Your Majesty, as I have said, you should increase taxes to ensure the treasury is full."

Well, he seemed to have said something nonsense accidentally.

The King of Nanyue took a deep breath. How could this be just like making up the word count in an essay?

He tried to suppress his anger, "Is there any other way?"

The loyal minister remained silent, as if the affairs of the national treasury had nothing to do with him and were directly linked to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury has been like this for years. Your Majesty should know this."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the country has always been like this. There is really no other way except to increase taxes. The army is a country's important line of defense. If the army has no food, no weapons and other equipment, then a country can only wait for its demise."

The King of Nanyue sneered, "So, for the sake of the country and the army, you let the people starve to death?"

"It's no big deal if two of those peasants starve to death. Your Majesty!"

The Minister of Revenue sighed and said, "A ruler should learn to consider the overall situation."

These people wanted to tell them that he did all this.

Everything the regent did would be blamed on him, making him a notorious emperor.

But now he wants to change this situation, as if every step is full of thorns. He is high and mighty and every step he takes is majestic, but the ground under his feet is already a bloody mess.

At this moment, the Prime Minister thought for a long time, and with a look of disillusionment, he stood up and handed in his resignation, "Your Majesty, I am willing to... resign from my post and return home, donating all my property."

The loyal minister felt as if he had been electrocuted in an instant. He felt numb all over and had goose bumps all over the floor.

The Prime Minister has been acting very abnormally lately...

Everyone was talking about it, puzzled as to what was going on.

Emma, ​​the court has been so weird recently. Just now, the loyal minister was ready to laugh at the emperor, but now that it’s a joke, forget it.

It was as if they had seen their future. The ministers always felt that this matter was related to the little princess, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

The King of Nanyue had a look of surprise on his face. He was still angry, but the moment he saw the resignation letter, his anger had almost subsided.

Instead, there were many surprises, because the resignation letter stated the approximate value of his family's belongings.

More than 50 million taels, wow, the national treasury only has more than 10 million taels of silver now, and this person’s family assets are five times that of the national treasury.

The King of Nanyue was very angry when he learned about this astronomical figure, but when he thought about the civil and military officials in the court, he realized that many of them were students of the Prime Minister.

It’s so difficult to move him!

At this moment, letting him resign and return home is the best option. It is his own choice and has nothing to do with the court.

When the King of Nanyue saw this, he suddenly thought of what Wanwan said last night. Sure enough, this was great news!

He was so moved that tears were about to come out. Wanwan had thought of every step, and she was not even three years old.

A two-year-old child spends his days thinking about nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun.

He also has to think about national affairs, how difficult it is for him!

"Are you determined to resign?"

The King of Nanyue didn't even want to ask a single question.

"yes!"

The Prime Minister replied respectfully, "I wish to resign from my post and retire to enjoy my old age."

The prime minister's other students also tried to persuade him, but to no avail. The entire court was puzzled by the prime minister's resignation.

It was almost a headline news in Nanyue Country...

"In that case, then let it be."

The King of Nanyue looked at him calmly, and did not question the money. The entire court and the people did not question it either.

The prime minister breathed a sigh of relief. The court did not make things difficult for him, which was naturally the best.

Although the King of Nanyue was also curious, he knew that all this was related to Wanwan.

After the court session, many students chased after the Prime Minister and asked, "Teacher, what's going on? Why did you suddenly resign?"

"The court today is no longer the same as it was before. I'm reminding you to do your job well. Otherwise, you won't be able to stay in office long."

The Prime Minister took a deep breath. He felt bad for resigning from his position when he was so successful. However, at this moment, it would be best to withdraw unscathed.

He was busy all his life, but in the end he almost lost his life.

But his words of persuasion were of no use to these disciples.

"Sir, what do you think of the current situation?" an official asked. "Shouldn't we change our stance and wholeheartedly support the Emperor?"

"Do we have any way out?" said the Shangshu.

Everyone tensed up. If their deeds were discovered, they would all be punishable by death.

"Are you talking about the Prime Minister?" Everyone looked surprised.

The Minister didn't finish speaking...

Wanwan gave him a talisman paper, "This talisman paper can save you from disaster."

Xia Mochen was puzzled. This kind of person, who knows how many crimes he has committed in his life, you actually let him go back?

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like the style of his little princess.

However, Xia Mochen did not interfere with the little princess's decision. He just did his job as a guard and part-time nanny.

But later, Wanwan ran to the imperial study again, wanting to discuss something with the King of Nanyue. Suddenly, she felt that this matter seemed not simple.

I probably guessed Wanwan’s routine...

Back in the courtyard, the secret guard suddenly appeared in front of her, "Princess, the emperor is ill. Please go back."

"ah?"

She then thought of her father, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She had wanted to go back to see him several times, but she had forgotten about him because she was having so much fun.

She opened the space door and saw that Emperor Wu of Xia was still reviewing memorials late at night.

“Ahem…”

A cough was heard.

The eunuch reminded, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to bed."

"You should have delivered the message to Wanwan by now, why hasn't she come back to see me yet? You playful child, ah."

Emperor Wu of Xia looked out the window. It was almost summer, and he put on the blue fox fur coat made from the Arctic fox.

Sweat dripped down his hot forehead, and he felt bad. He was in his forties and already had to wait for his son to come home. What a sin!

"Your Majesty, I think you are sweating a little. How about I change your clothes?"

The eunuch couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he gave in and was not afraid of getting prickly heat.

"I'm coughing, can't you see? Wearing this coat is just right to keep the sweat away."

Emperor Wu of Xia glared at him angrily, "You don't even understand these basic common sense, and this is how you serve me?"

The eunuch was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly knelt down, "Yes, yes, yes... I know I was wrong."

The eunuch feels so aggrieved. You don't have to take it out on me if the little princess and the queen don't come back to see you.

Woo woo woo…

Eunuchs are human beings too.

Woo woo woo…

It also needs care!

Little princess, please come back soon. If you don't come back, the emperor will go crazy...

“Daddy…”

It turned out to be a soft and tender voice calling out. Emperor Wu of Xia paused, wondering if he had heard it wrong?

Are you back?

That shouldn’t be the case. After all, it’s been a month and I seem to hear this sound every night.
