Some officials even donated all their belongings.
Cai Jing, in particular, actually donated several million taels of silver.
This is really...
That’s too much!
Aren't you supposed to be treacherous ministers?
Why do you do this kind of thing!
This will make me very unhappy!
However, the matter was done and he was powerless to change it.
I can only hope in my heart that maybe they donated money for other motives?
hiss.
Don't think about it too much, the more you think about it, the more headache you get.
However, the more times like this happen, the calmer you need to be.
Don't be impulsive.
They are all notorious treacherous ministers in history.
Ying Yuan, ah Ying Yuan, you must believe in their strength.
They will definitely help you accomplish your mission of destroying your country.
Damn it, I can’t stand it anymore.
"I don't want anyone to use their own family's money to subsidize state expenditures in the future. You receive salaries from the court and work for the court. This is only natural.
If I continue to take money from your pockets, how will the people of this world look upon me? Therefore, I hope that you can use the salary you have worked so hard to earn on yourselves.
Ying Yuan spoke earnestly.
It means literally.
I don't need your donations.
I want you to live a life of luxury and debauchery every day.
I have no money, tell me.
I can give it to you.
It’s okay to embezzle, but how much you can embezzle depends on your ability. I don’t care.
However, the ministers did not think so.
Your Majesty did not give any rewards or verbal incentives to the ministers.
But he only said a few words.
What's the meaning?
Your Majesty is clearly saying that the monthly salary paid by the court is actually enough for himself and his family.
As for money other than salary, it is better not to be greedy.
Otherwise, His Majesty will personally demand the return of the embezzled money.
By then, everyone in the world will know that he has committed corruption.
The final outcome will definitely be a house raid.
so!
From now on, you must not engage in corruption!
Absolutely not!
Everyone secretly warned themselves in their hearts.
......
A few days later.
Wu Qi arrived at Hangu Pass.
He officially became the commander-in-chief of the 800,000-strong Chu imperial army.
They say there are 800,000, but that's just some exaggeration.
According to Cao Cao and his colleagues' deduction, the Chu army had at most only over 600,000 soldiers.
Excluding civilians, soldiers, etc., there were only about 400,000 soldiers capable of fighting.
Of course, this is still a force that cannot be underestimated.
at this time.
Wu Qi sat alone in the tent, looking at the secret decree his emperor had sent him a few days ago.
The secret decree only mentioned one thing.
That is to let him win a few battles, and then perhaps withdraw from Hangu Pass and continue to guard the border between Qi and Chu.
However, who is he? He is Wu Qi!
In Ying Yuan's previous life, he was a frequent visitor to the Temple of Martial Arts.
How could such a powerful person be willing to do that?
"Cao Cao... was able to defeat Xiang Yan, so I think you have some skills. Let me see how capable you are."
After saying this, Wu Qi closed his eyes and began to rest.
He had no intention of underestimating the enemy.
On the contrary, he attached great importance to Cao Cao.
Suddenly, at this moment, a voice came from outside the tent.
It is said that Pan Feng, the vanguard of the Qin army, is challenging the enemy outside the camp.
Hearing this, Wu Qi suddenly opened his eyes and laughed loudly, "I didn't look for them, but they came looking for me.
Well, I will reluctantly accept this gift today."
