EBE Chapter 83 Resolution of the Pension Issue
Chapter 83 Resolution of the Pension Issue
"Your Highness, Eunuch Yongfu has arrived."
Yu Shu went to the study.
"What is he here for?"
Qin Wu inquired.
However, a guess had formed in my mind.
It's probably because of something related to the Ministry of Revenue, since this matter concerning the Ministry of Revenue is quite significant.
He directly ordered Qi Ye to surround the Ministry of Revenue, and his father, the emperor, was probably going to get restless.
"Eunuch Yongfu said it was His Majesty's oral decree."
Yu Shu answered respectfully.
"Let him in!"
Qin Wu said calmly.
After Yu Shu left, she quickly brought in Eunuch Yongfu.
"This old servant greets the Divine Martial King."
Grandpa Yongfu bowed respectfully.
"No gift."
Qin Wu said calmly.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered you to recall General Qi. The compensation for the Zhenbei Army will be provided to Your Highness within three days."
After finishing speaking, Eunuch Yongfu glanced cautiously at Qin Wu.
He wanted to see what expression this killing machine would have.
When he saw Qin Wu's expressionless face, his heart jumped.
After a short while, Qin Wu finally spoke calmly: "I understand. If you haven't given me an explanation in three days, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Thank you, Your Highness. This old servant will take his leave now."
When Yongfu received Qin Wu's reply, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.
"Yushu, go with Yongfu! Tell Qiye to give the Ministry of Revenue three days, but the lottery must continue. If there is no reply after three days, the officials who were drawn will be exterminated along with their entire families."
Qin Wu explained to Yu Shu.
Eunuch Yongfu thought that Qin Wu wouldn't do anything for the next three days.
I never expected the lottery to continue. What kind of deep-seated hatred or resentment must this person have?
Is it really necessary to kill the officials of the Ministry of Revenue?
"Yes, Eunuch Yongfu, let's go!"
Yu Shu accepted the order and spoke to Eunuch Yongfu.
Yongfu bowed to Qin Wu, and the two then left.
The two quickly arrived at the Ministry of Revenue and conveyed Qin Wu's decree to Qi Ye.
Qi Ye then led his men back to the palace to report to Qin Wu.
For the next three days, Qin Wu kept reading the battle reports from the Southern Qi.
To understand the situation on the battlefield of Southern Qi.
On the battlefield of Southern Qi, under the leadership of the Marquis of Zhennan, the advance is unstoppable.
In just over a month, they conquered the border of Southern Qi, capturing ten cities in succession without encountering much resistance.
The fact that the Southern Qi forces couldn't even mount an effective resistance shows just how chaotic the Southern Qi is right now.
However, their advance slowed down, as they needed time to digest the results of conquering ten cities in a row.
Many families in the Southern Qi dynasty did nothing openly, but secretly they did a lot of things to trip up the Marquis of Zhennan.
This caused the Marquis of Zhennan's army to march at an increasingly slower pace.
"Flowing Wind".
After reading the intelligence, Qin Wu called out.
"master."
Liu Feng appeared.
"Send a message to the Marquis of Zhennan: a general must not be soft-hearted; he must be ruthless when necessary, and kill those who are courting death."
"Also, tell the Marquis of Zhennan that in chaotic times, severe punishments must be used."
Qin Wu gave instructions to Liu Feng.
These people won't behave unless they are dealt with severely.
Sometimes, killing is arguably the best way to solve a problem.
"Yes."
Liu Feng accepted the order.
Qin Wu's orders were quickly sent to the Southern Qi battlefield.
"Yu Shu, go and summon Qi Ye."
After Liu Feng left, Qin Wu spoke to Yu Shu, who was waiting in the outer room.
Qi Ye, who had been summoned, arrived shortly afterward.
"Your Majesty."
Qi Ye bowed in respect.
"The three days have passed; go to the Ministry of Revenue and demand an explanation!"
Qin Wu instructed Qi Ye.
"Yes."
Qi Ye accepted the order and went to select the men.
Not long after, he left the Prince's Palace and headed to the Ministry of Revenue.
The Ministry of Revenue has been extremely busy these past few days.
The Minister of Revenue even personally took the memorial regarding the pension for the Zhenbei Army to go through the procedures and stayed at the cabinet.
These three days have finally brought all the procedures to a complete end.
All that's needed next is to allocate funds.
Just as Pei Jiang, the Minister of Revenue, returned to the Ministry of Revenue.
"Your Excellency, General Qi Ye of the Divine Martial Prince's Mansion has arrived with his troops."
A guard reported to the Minister of Revenue.
"What? Quickly...please come in. Never mind, I will personally go to greet General Qi Ye."
After the Minister of Revenue finished speaking, he got up and walked outside.
The guards quickly followed.
The two of them quickly arrived at the front yard, one after the other.
"General Qi, what brings you here today?"
The Minister of Revenue stepped forward and said warmly.
It felt like a longtime friend visiting.
"Minister Pei, the three-day deadline has passed. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Qi Ye showed absolutely no mercy.
"Haha, it's all taken care of, General Qi. Rest assured, I handled this matter personally, and the compensation will be distributed soon."
Minister Pei was not angry and greeted him with a smile.
There's nothing we can do, we can't afford to offend them!
If he were to anger this beloved general of the Divine Martial King, even if he were a second-rank minister, he wouldn't have a good life.
The Divine Martial King might even come after him.
He couldn't withstand the wrath of the Divine Martial King.
"Then I thank you very much, Minister Pei. However, I must remind you that His Highness takes this matter very seriously, so please do not let any people take advantage of the situation."
After Qi Ye finished speaking, he left with his men.
The officials of the Ministry of Revenue breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Qi Ye leave with his men.
The knife that had been hanging over their heads was finally removed.
They no longer need to worry about their clan being wiped out by the Divine Martial King.
Especially the officials who were drawn by lot.
They have been living in constant fear these past few days.
Qi Ye left.
"Gentlemen, you all heard what General Qi just said, right? Now go and do it!"
Minister Pei glanced coldly at everyone.
He then went into his office room.
The Ministry of Revenue became busy again.
They began verifying the list of fallen soldiers and preparing to distribute their pensions.
