260. Chapter 260 The queen sets the rules

When the army does not fight, there are not many soldiers on hand. When the army does not fight, the soldiers go back to farm and then gather them up after fighting. Then these laborers are transferred from the fields to the battlefield, the army increases its expenses, and the people do not have labor to abandon the fields. In this way, the country's treasury expenditure will naturally not meet the sudden increase in expenses.

Qin Hua moved her body, thinking that the military pay for the marching and war was paid by the Ye family, and the Ye family's wealth was as rich as the country, but it was not only a legend.

When Nangong Ao heard the Ye family, his mind was filled with Ye Wange's beautiful face, thinking about the little things about Ye Wange since he entered the palace.

In Funing Palace, Ye Wange slept peacefully all night, and sat there waiting for the concubines to pay their respects after breakfast.

After the concubine gave Ye Wange a greeting, Ye Wange gently opened her red lips and said, "The emperor is on an expedition. We cannot share the suffering of war for the emperor. We can only relieve the emperor's worries. In order to reduce the expenses, we will reduce the expenses of the military pay by half from today. We also ask all sisters to be more frugal in terms of food, clothing and expenses."

Before Ye Wange could finish his words, the sensation broke out, and the concubines muttered dissatisfiedly.

Ye Wange heard someone say, "It's only the salary every month. It's very tight to buy some rouge and powder to reward slaves on weekdays. Once this is reduced, it won't even have enough daily expenses."

"Yes, we don't receive much on weekdays, but now it's suddenly reduced by half. Even the normal life in the palace can't be maintained. How can I live?"

"Yes, we only have that little salary for a month..."

Everyone talked about it, saying that this reason for such reasons and that reason for such reasons, everyone made excuses that their salary was not enough to spend.

Ye Wange looked at the concubines below who were yelling that they were dissatisfied with the reduction of their salary. All of them were dissatisfied with this move. No one responded to it and her face became gloomy.

Sitting there watching the person who was whispering in groups of three or three and whispering in a low voice, Ye Wange tear her kind side away in front of these concubines for the first time, showing the majesty of the queen. After two "bang" and "bang", the concubines who were talking in a low voice were all frightened and closed their mouths.

Ye Wange threw the tea bowl in his hand to the ground, stood up with a table, holding Supa's hand, and crossed the crowd one by one, "The emperor and the warriors of the Northern Tang Dynasty fought for the country, eating simple food and sleeping in simple tents. You were eating delicacies in the palace and living a luxurious life of luxury. You didn't let you go to the battlefield, and you didn't let you eat hungry and full. Do you still dare to repay your grudges here?"

Ye Wange stared at the concubines who were so arrogant that she dared not show her. After her black eyes swept across everyone like a sharp blade, she said majesticly, "I have decided on this rule now. If anyone has any objection or doesn't understand, I will convince her."

Ye Wange's sharp eyes swept across everyone, his eyes were full of murderous aura, shocking the concubines who were still talking and expressing their dissatisfaction just now.

One by one, he lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, and no one dared to speak again to express his dissatisfaction.

"Everyone retreat!" Ye Wange said to the concubine in front of her.

Hearing this, the concubines immediately escaped as birds and beasts. Han Yue stood there looking at the concubine who had left many times faster than usual, and smiled, "You are really a sick tiger who has been threatening today."

Ye Wange looked at Han Yue and smiled, "If a tiger doesn't show his power, he will think I'm a sick cat? In the past, I turned a blind eye because they didn't spend money on the Ye family. Now the emperor has taken two million taels from our Ye family, but what they spend is the snowflakes of my Ye family?"

"What? Are you trying to get it back from the expenses in the harem?" Han Yue joked with Ye Wange.

"I have this idea, but the treasury can't even pay for the war, and can there be any money flowing into my pocket?" Ye Wange said.

Han Yue looked at Ye Wange and said, "The expenditure in this harem is also worth millions of taels a year. If the expenses can be reduced by half as the Queen said, then the savings can be saved by hundreds of thousands of taels a year!" Han Yue felt that this expenditure was too amazing.

"There are tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, each with ten taels of silver per year, which will cost 100,000 taels, and the palace maids are eight thousand, each with ten taels of silver per year, which will cost 80,000 taels. In addition, the thousands of concubines in the harem, the guards in the harem, etc., the annual expenses for the harem are no less than 1.5 million taels. So much snowflakes are enough to cultivate thousands of soldiers." Ye Wange said.

Han Yue lamented after hearing this, "The emperor has taken few concubines. Compared with the thousands of concubines of the emperors of all generations, our emperor has taken the least."

Han Yue calculated that Nangong Ao's women in the palace were only about a hundred, which was far from the rumors that the beauties in the harem were 3,000, but the expenses of these 100 people were amazing. The food, clothing and expenses were excellent. The queen reduced the expenses in the harem. This was also a good way.

"You can save money by doing this, but it will cause complaints from the concubines." Han Yue was afraid that the grudge between Ye Wange and these concubines would be too deep.

When Ye Wange heard Han Yue's words, she said disapprovingly, "I want to see who dares to sing the opposite tune with me."

Han Yue looked at Ye Wange and frowned, "I'm afraid that Concubine Hui will be the first to sing a counter-tune with the Queen."

When Ye Wange heard Han Yue mention Huifei, she raised her lips and said, "I wish she would sing a different tune with me, otherwise I wouldn't find a reason to deal with her."

"Small ruler, I sent someone to notify Concubine Hui, and I would like to say that the palace's will, and the monthly salary of Changshou Palace will be reduced by half." Ye Wange said.

"Yes." After hearing the order, the little ruler immediately went to Changshou Palace to convey it.

Seeing that the small ruler was about to leave, Ye Wange said again, "Tell Concubine Hui that from tomorrow, let her come to Funing Palace to greet you."

"Yes." Seeing that Ye Wange is so strong now, the little ruler smiles at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"You're going to follow her, that bad woman! What are you going to provoke her again?" Han Yue said to Ye Wange.

"I have been enduring for so long, and I have endured her enough. I want Shen Ruhui to see that I am not a soft persimmon that can be pinched by others." Ye Wange said viciously.

Han Yue looked at Ye Wange as if a serf was about to turn over, and laughed, "Are you going to cut off the emperor's favorite? Are you not afraid that the emperor will return from the battlefield and ask for your head?"

Ye Wange heard Han Yue's words and said, "If you want me, you will have a small matter, but if you lose the country, you will have a big matter."

Ye Wange's words made Han Yue speechless. The emperor's military expenditure for war relies on the Ye family, so how could the emperor take the life of the financial owner?

In fact, Han Yue has not understood the changes in the situation yet. Han Yue, the fake daughter of Han Ming, did not know that Han Ming had been bribed by Ye Wange long ago and obeyed Ye Wange's orders.

When Song Qisheng came, Xiaodie asked Song Qisheng to wait in the outer room. She came into the inner room and reported, "Empress, Song Tidian is here!"

Ye Wange said to Xiaodie, "Let Song Ti come in."

After Xiaodie went out, Ye Wange looked at Han Yue and said, "You also ask Song Ti to take his pulse and see how he gave birth to a son and half a daughter for the emperor."

Han Yue shook her head, "I won't stay in this palace for too long." Han Yue's mind was not in the palace, nor in Nangong Ao, and she didn't want to give birth to Nangong Ao's child to leave a bond for herself.

While speaking, Song Qisheng came in. Song Qisheng was about to bow to Ye Wange and said, "Give up."

Ye Wange stretched out his wrist, and Song Qisheng took Ye Wange's pulse, "The pulse is stable, and everything is safe."

Ye Wange rolled down her sleeves with confidence after hearing this, "Doctor Song, take a look at Concubine Yue."

Song Qisheng glanced at Han Yue and said, "I have seen it for Concubine Yue a few days ago, and the medicine has been completely cured."

Song Qisheng thought Ye Wange was asking him to show Han Yue's injuries, and he replied truthfully.

Ye Wange listened to Song Qisheng's words and said with a smile, "I'm asking you to take Yue Fei to see her body and prescribe some tonic medicines for her to take it so that she can get pregnant with Long Si."

"Yes." Song Qisheng understood Ye Wange's intention now.

Han Yue waved her hand, "No, my body is getting better."

Song Qisheng stood there in embarrassment, the Empress asked to see, but Yue Fei refused to see. He didn't know who to listen to for a moment, so he could only stand there in embarrassment.

Ye Wange looked at Song Qisheng as soon as she was about to speak, but she was interrupted by Xiao Yuanzi who ran in. "Empress, Lord Zhou came to report that there were people outside the capital with bad intentions."

Ye Wange immediately stood up from the chair after hearing this, "Did Zhou Qiang find out what these people are going to do?"

Xiao Yuanzi replied, "Mr. Zhou has ordered the city gate to be closed and precautions are taken."

Before Ye Wange could react, Han Yue said excitedly, "I'll go and see if it's the third prince."

"Han Yue!" Ye Wange called out to Han Yue in a deep voice.

"The Empress, it must be the Third Prince!" Han Yue said to Ye Wange.

Ye Wange also guessed that it was probably the third prince who led his troops to attack the city. She took a deep breath and said, "Calm down and make plans after you figure out who the person is."

"I'm going to meet him." Han Yue said.

"Are you crazy?" Ye Wange scolded Han Yue.

Han Yue's eyes were filled with tears, "I have heard that the Third Prince was lying ambushed outside the capital. As soon as the emperor left, someone led his troops to surround the capital. Except for the Third Prince, who else could be so fast?"

Ye Wange looked at Han Yue's excited look and replied calmly, "Even if it is as you expected, the third prince is outside the capital, you can't see the third prince now."

"No! I'm going!" Han Yue said firmly.

"If the third prince leads troops to siege the capital now, then he is rebelling and commits the death penalty of being beheaded." Ye Wange thought that if Han Yueru went to see the rebel third prince in the blue sky and white sun, then Han Yue would definitely be in danger.

"Even if I cut my head, I will go to see him." When Han Yue heard that the person he had been thinking about was coming, she had already lost her mind and said without hesitation.

Seeing Han Yue losing his mind, Ye Wange winked at Song Qisheng.
