A small country can have such strength. Almost ten cities have been captured so far. According to the news from the spies, the reserve army of the Hongyun Dynasty has also reached, and the regular army is moving forward even faster. If they do not stop it, they may arrive at the imperial capital soon. At that time, they still have any face and may destroy the country because of this.

"Tell me, what should I do now? Why is the imperial army so vulnerable? This is why? Think about how powerful the founding ancestors' army was, and they were invincible. Now, it was my turn to be like this by the enemy. What is my face to meet my ancestors? You, what should I do now? Are you waiting for yourself to surrender? You said."

However, no one spoke up among the ministers. They knew very well that they knew the situation of the empire than the emperor. Maybe some people really wanted to surrender. However, when they thought of the sharpness of the other party, they immediately stopped. The other party was obviously not a decoration, but they were crueler than the tiger and hungry wolf. How could they be willing to be occupied by such an enemy?

"Your Majesty, I think the most important thing now is to require a large number of troops. Some of our country are people. As long as the edict is issued, I believe that those civilians will actively participate. Your Majesty also needs a general who can fight, otherwise it will be a waste of effort."

"Your Majesty, the Left Prime Minister is right. More people are needed to defend the enemy's offensive. We have a large number of people. As long as you write an edict, more people will definitely be able to participate and let them protect their homes. Your Majesty will issue an edict."

The emperor naturally knew that this was a good thing, but the key was the problem of money. He immediately looked at the Finance Minister and said, "Fu Aiqing, how much money does the treasury still have now? It should be enough to distribute military pay and supplies this time. There has been no war in many years. I believe it must be relatively wealthy. Fu Aiqing, tell me, there should be more excess."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty" Fu Lei, the Minister of Finance, suddenly turned pale and could not speak. However, he knew deeply that where the wealth over the years had gone, either shared by the ministers or crossed out various names, it was actually embezzled. Of course, he did not dare to do so alone, and other ministers were all involved, so it was obvious that they shared.

The ministers in the hall all changed their expressions and immediately lowered their heads. They dared not say much. Now they obviously have no ability to say anything. If they cause fire, it would be a big problem. Maybe they will be very involved.

The emperor obviously frowned, but asked him to tell me how much money there is and why he said this, and he was also in a mess. His heart immediately beat, and his face gradually became ugly: "Say, how much money there is, please explain it to me."

"Your Majesty, the national treasury has less than one million taels of silver, and there is no money anymore." As soon as he finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground. He knew that he was finished, but he still couldn't tell anyone else, otherwise he would die so much that he could not die again. Although his family might not be able to save it, the branches could still be saved. I believe that other ministers should be able to help, otherwise they would be really unwilling to accept it.

"What, less than one million taels, where has the wealth gone over the years? And the tax revenue last year alone is more than one hundred million taels, why has it disappeared all of a sudden? Tell me, where is it used, you say it." The emperor was really angry. The entire 100 million taels disappeared in less than half a year, and there are still wealth from previous years, where has these gone?

The emperor's roar was frightened by the ministers. They were all one of them, sharing this luxury. Now, it is obviously too likely. The most important thing is that there is no money in war. Who can do things for people without money? Perhaps only those fools will do this. The most important thing is that the civilians in the country are already resentful and even have to bring people to protect them when they go out.

How could he be invincible at this point? The fear in his heart increased a lot, especially Fu Lei, who, after he finished speaking, stopped talking and lay there, and did not move. When the emperor rushed down angrily, he kicked him without any movement. When people checked, they found that they were dead, scared to death by themselves, and they were scared to death.

However, this could not alleviate the emperor's anger at all, and he immediately ordered the destruction of nine clans, without leaving any one. However, the emperor was the emperor, and he also reacted at this time. A finance minister must have no courage to do this, so there must be others doing it together, and his eyes were gloomy toward the ministers, but none of them dared to look at him, which was obviously guilty.

Sorrow or sadness, it turns out that they are all deceived themselves. These ministers have a share and they are also lying to trust them. All of these people are deceptive. None of these people is worthy of his belief. Why is this? Is it because it has been too long or the empire is really going to perish? Now even the ministers do this, so what can he do as an emperor? Can he change it?

"You, you are all good. No wonder the dignified empire was defeated by a small country. So that's it. I lost without any wickedness, but I lost in the hands of my own people. As expected, internal damage is more powerful than external damage, hahaha."

The ministers heard the emperor's laughter and felt the crying. Yes, all this could not have happened, but now there is nothing to say. Even if they are willing to donate money, it cannot be solved in a moment. What will other people do? It will definitely not change at once, and there is no need to say the consequences. The ice is not a day's cold, they all understand.

But what can I do if I understand? It is obviously impossible to save the current situation. The opponent is not so despised by the enemy. Moreover, after just after his own war, his strength must have been enhanced. This time there are two million on the surface. Who knows if there will be other troops? The imperial team is now unbearable, which is a pity.

The hall was silent for a moment, and finally the emperor smiled sarcastically, stopped talking to the ministers, and returned to the harem powerlessly.

These ministers looked at each other and didn't know what to do. In the end, they could only go back first. Even if they apologize now, it would be too late. Unless they could block this enemy attack, there would be nothing to say.

This is true in the court, and even more so among the people, especially among bandits. When they heard the information, they couldn't believe it. It turned out that the imperial army was so unbearable. They still thought they were not strong enough. It turned out that it was not because of the large number of each time. After realizing this, they began to realize that this time was a good opportunity.

Occupying territory is the best way, and then slowly expanding your power. Maybe you can still be the emperor of a country. Even if the empire cannot sit, the kingdom can do it. With this idea, bandits take action and suffer from the city they are near. Bandits and bandits have a difficult nature to change. Burns and plunders are natural, and disasters will come immediately.

The cities everywhere were not lost under the attack of external enemies, but at home. The civilians in these cities suffered great disasters, especially those women, who were bullied at will and died countless times. It can be seen that the harm of bandits is very great. In addition, although bandits have not yet formally fought with each other, they are getting closer as they approach.

The disasters broke out, causing heavy damage to the Nanhui Empire, which had already damaged its muscles and bones. It was obviously difficult to suppress it.

The ministers did not hide these things. They already knew they were useless, but the emperor was extremely calm. So what could he do if he knew that he was angry. At present, the most important thing was to fight back against the outside enemies first. The internal ones could be temporarily suppressed, but they could only be in a short period of time. Once the time was too long, these bandits might really become a climate, so it would be difficult to eliminate them.

What's more, now it can almost become a laughing stock in the eyes of other countries in the Jitian Continent. Even some small countries in the west are ready to move. How could Emperor Nanhui not know what they want to do? But what can it be? It's unlikely to count on the border guards. I was very disappointed. Why is this happening? Why?

"Your Majesty, I am aware of the crime and are willing to donate my family property. Please send troops quickly and drive the enemy out." The collective apology of the ministers knew in their hearts that if the empire could not be preserved, they would still have a life, which would definitely be impossible.

"I think it out now. Is it a little too late? I have no soldiers, not to mention that even if I summoned civilians, they have practiced them. What's the use of such soldiers? Tell me, what's the use of such soldiers? Who among you is willing to lead the army? If you want to stand up, I will definitely agree. If I really repel the other party, I won't care this time."

The minister was very guilty, but he immediately looked at the empire's Marshal Madeko, hoping that he could lead this army. If he really won, I believe that His Majesty would forgive them and still live a comfortable life. He was silently looking forward to it.

How could Madeko not know the hearts of these ministers? Although he has the title of marshal, he does not lead the army very much. All of this is the credit of his subordinates. He has only gained the reputation of the family. He actually does not have much talent, but he is very depressed. However, he has to take this matter, otherwise his life will be really hard.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the task, please rest assured."
