Possessed by Luffy's fruit, I went crazy in ancient times

His Majesty's face darkened, and his entire face instantly became stiff.

The Queen and His Majesty have been married for so many years, and this is the first time he saw His Majesty with such an ugly face. He looked at the Queen blankly, still unable to believe it. After a moment, he asked again: "What did you say?"

When the queen saw that His Majesty's face changed, she no longer recognized him, and she immediately felt fear.

Pointing to his two sons kneeling on the ground, he said: "He and the others"

The two princes were shocked when they heard this, and their bodies moved closer to the queen involuntarily.

They were afraid of their father. In the past, as long as they proposed marriage to their mother, they would be forgiven. This time, when they looked at their father's face, fear arose in their hearts.

The two of them tugged at the queen's sleeves in a panic, their faces turning blue and white.

"What's wrong with them?" His Majesty stepped forward and stared at the Queen.

The queen winced, opened and closed her mouth and said: "There is no money in the treasury, not even a penny." After saying that, she tried to make up for herself by saying: "But I still have one million taels of private money."

When the two princes heard this, their expressions improved a little, but His Majesty's face was still very ugly. He stared at the Queen with anger in his eyes and said, "Then please bring it out to the Queen."

The queen was so frightened that her mind went blank and she could only nod.

He waved his hand and asked the chamberlain to go get it.

His Majesty breathed a sigh of relief, but did not give up questioning the Queen and her two sons.

The three of them huddled together, and after a long while, the queen revealed that her two sons had been tricked into going to the arena.

His Majesty's eyes froze for a moment, and he suddenly said: "Why hasn't Commander Liu come yet?"

The servant outside the door ran in in a panic, kowtowed and knelt down and said, "General Liu will be here soon. I have already seen his figure."

His Majesty nodded upon hearing this and sat down aside.

He stared outside the palace, looking forward to Commander Liu's arrival as soon as possible.

But the fear and uneasiness in his heart swept through his body. He was very good at pretending, and all these small emotions were buried in his heart.

In just one meal, all his plans were shattered. He had to re-establish his own political power. The Xie family and the Xu family were afraid that they would no longer be reliable.

For the first time in more than ten years, His Majesty came up with the idea of ​​abolishing the Queen. Today's court is no longer what it was yesterday.

"Commander Liu, His Majesty is waiting for you." After the chamberlain left the palace gate, he ran over in a panic to greet Commander Liu.

Commander Liu had not rested since he had just retreated. He had not slept all night and his mind was furious at the moment.

"Did your Majesty say anything?" Commander Liu was very cautious. He was still worried that the affairs of the two princes would cost him his life.

When the chamberlain heard this, he said "Ouch" and said: "Don't worry, Commander Liu, it's too late for His Majesty to rely on you now, and he won't find trouble with you."

When Commander Liu heard this, he paused and said, "What happened?" The chamberlain was also a discerning man. When Commander Liu asked, he told everything in a manner as if he was pouring beans.

After listening to this, Commander Liu turned around and bowed deeply to his chamberlain, saying: "My father-in-law is a great kindness, I will definitely repay you in the future."

The chamberlain's face softened a lot when he heard this, and said: "Hurry up and leave, Your Majesty is still waiting."

He didn't know what Commander Liu was thinking, but looking at the current situation, His Majesty was afraid that he was going to lose. When the city was in danger, he naturally had to make plans for himself. If His Majesty fell, he would have someone to rely on.

After listening to this, Commander Liu also accepted the offer of reciprocation from the chamberlain. He had understood the situation in the army best these days when he took over the Imperial Guard.

Lack of food and pay is already a standard issue in the army. No wonder His Majesty himself is aware of this problem. If you want the soldiers to go into battle to kill the enemy without money and food, you can't even think about it, let alone the return of the troops to the court this time. His Majesty has not yet issued a reward for the 80,000 troops outside the city.

Commander Liu despised His Majesty in his heart, but now...that's all, he would take a look at how many cards His Majesty still had in his hand. If he wanted to wait for death, he might as well surrender to King Jin directly.

While his thoughts were lingering, Commander Liu walked outside the palace gate. Before the servants could announce the announcement, His Majesty stepped forward happily and said, "Commander Liu is here, come in quickly."

When Commander Liu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then followed His Majesty into the palace.

He has been leading the imperial guards for so long, but he has never seen his majesty treat his ministers so kindly.

As soon as he entered the palace, His Majesty began to praise: "General Liu is very talented at a young age. The queen and I rely on you in the palace. I called you here today because I want to promote you."

When Commander Liu heard this, he immediately knelt down and said: "It is the duty of a minister to protect His Majesty, and I dare not accept the reward." He said this, but he was happy in his heart.

No one wants promotion and wealth, but if you are an official without money, then you might as well not want it. According to what the chamberlain just said, Your Majesty has no money now and only has the Queen's one million taels of private money left.

Thinking of this, he felt a twinge in his heart.

"Hey, how can you say that? Commander Liu's loyalty is seen by me and the Queen. I have decided to promote you to the rank of Minister of War. You will lead an 80,000-strong army outside the city. The imperial guards and patrol camps in the city will all be led by As you call upon, you must protect the important territory of the capital and protect me and the queen, so that you cannot live up to my expectations of you."

Commander Liu knelt down, his head buzzing as he listened. What he understood was that the troops in His Majesty's hands were at his disposal, but he had to be protected.

But when he thought of the huge amount of food and military pay, Commander Liu felt very conflicted. Naturally, the more troops the better, but with so many troops, not to mention whether they can be easily managed or not, even eating is a problem.

"I accept the decree, but I don't have any food and salary in my hands. I hope your Majesty will pay the Imperial Guard the food and salary for the past three months." He was also complaining in his heart. The Imperial Guard had delayed paying their military salary for three months for no reason. The soldiers I have been poor for several months.

Thinking about the queen's one million taels, Commander Liu decided to get the money first. As for the patrol camp and the soldiers outside the city, he could take them if he could. There was nothing he could do if he couldn't take them. Who made him have no money? .

When His Majesty heard this, his face darkened again, his eyes fixed on the Queen, and the angry blood in his heart rushed straight to his forehead.

But he tried hard to suppress the anger on his face, and said with a smile: "Of course, of course, since I have been promoted, there is no reason to withhold military pay and food." After that, he waved his hand, and the chamberlain stepped forward and handed it to him. He gave Liu Tong a plate of silver coins.

The queen cowered beside her, watching the white money finally flow into Commander Liu's pocket, she felt very angry in her heart, and said angrily: "General Liu, please don't let down your majesty and let down my expectations of you. I hope you can gather the three armies to defeat the enemy together."

Liu Tongling took the drink piece in his hand with tears in his eyes. He had never seen so much money. With money, the soldiers could have enough to eat. Liu Tongling just nodded in agreement to the queen's instructions, but did not Didn't take it seriously.

I gave them one million taels and wanted them to fight to the death to kill the enemy, but I thought it would be beautiful. What if the one million taels are spent?

Commander Liu was not stupid. The moment he got the money, he decided to preserve his strength.
