"Diet? Is there something wrong with me?" Qi Xingyun paced back and forth twice, holding his chin with his fingers, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Do you usually feel particularly unwell?" Yang Ruoqing hesitated and continued: "Originally, I shouldn't have said this. If it were the late emperor, I wouldn't dare to say it, but now I feel that I have to say it, Your Majesty,

There seems to be something wrong with your body. It's a kind of qi, which means your lifespan has been greatly shortened. I can't tell you the details. In short, it's necessary to go back and check."

"Okay, I will issue a secret order later and have someone go check it out."

In fact, Qi Xingyun has indeed felt powerless recently and is particularly prone to fatigue, but he just thinks that he has stayed up too late and has no other thoughts. He just wants to get through this period, take a good rest and recuperate for a while.

But now there are too many affairs in the court, and he is holding on to power so tightly that he cannot rest for the time being.

Who knew that Yang Ruoqing would actually say such words today, so he really had to be careful.

Be careful and you won't make a big mistake. No matter whether there is a problem or not, you will never go wrong if you check it out.

"Let's put this aside for now, Qing'er, how are the preparations for the imperial guard competition?" Qi Xingyun changed the subject and looked at Yang Ruoqing and asked.

Yang Ruoqing replied: "Everything is going according to plan. The venue at the Golden Snake Guard is also being prepared. It should be completed in advance, leaving plenty of time."

A faint smile appeared on the corners of Qi Xingyun's lips, and he put his hands behind his back: "Come, let's talk as we walk, cross this arch bridge, and sit in the pavilion opposite."

Yang Ruoqing nodded and said, "Okay, let's go for a walk."

She noticed that although Qi Xingyun did not have anyone with him, there were many imperial guards hidden nearby, all of whom were elites selected from the Imperial Guards and were particularly enlightened and loyal to the emperor.

Qi Xingyun is still the same as before, so afraid of death.

The deck of the arch bridge is paved with white marble, and the casting of the bridge body is very consistent with mechanics and has a beautiful shape. This is a true work of art and the crystallization of human wisdom.

"Qing'er, tell me, why are you still selling tickets? Aren't you rich enough?" Qi Xingyun asked as he climbed the steps.

"It's not enough, Your Majesty, have you forgotten the World Business Alliance that we cooperated with? The treasury is now empty, and money needs to be used everywhere. You see, there is the Liao Dynasty in the north, the Black Lotus in the south, the Qin and Han dynasties in the east, the barbarian kings in the southwest, and the barbarian kings in the southwest.

People in Daxia still have many potential dangers inside, including various droughts and floods, so money is needed everywhere."

"The Royal Guards Competition is originally a matter that costs money, but it is also an extremely important matter. After all, you can rely on the competition to improve the combat power of the Royal Guards, so that it will not become an empty frame when it is needed... But with

Compared with other major events of the imperial court, this seems a bit insignificant."

"So, I feel that I can't put any additional burden on Da Qi, so I'm going to persuade a few wealthy businessmen and nobles to pool together the money and give this competition to Feng Feng Guangguang."

"In addition, I thought about selling the tickets. Half of the money will go to the national treasury, and the other half will be part of His Majesty's personal possessions. Those who are willing to pay will also give back part of it. This also shows that the court is not gracious!"

Yang Ruoqing had already prepared how to persuade Qi Xingyun.

In Da Qi's current situation, what Qi Xingyun thinks of most is naturally money.

You will never die if you do what you like. This is also the ultimate way for human beings to get along with each other.

And Yang Ruoqing understands Qi Xingyun.

Although Qi Xingyun is a multi-faceted person who is both cold, cruel and tender, he cannot refuse money no matter what.

Now, as she described, a large amount of silver piled up seemed to have been placed in front of Qi Xingyun.

Would he not be moved? How is that possible!

"Don't worry that the Guards will become corrupt. They will work hard for money. In addition, I have asked people to publicize all these things. They are all His Majesty's grace. So they got the money. There is only one person who will be grateful, and that is Your Majesty.

Ah." Yang Ruoqing increased the pressure again.

These words instantly struck Qi Xingyun's heart.

Yes, he is short of money now.

He is the supreme emperor of this empire. He should have been rich all over the world, but in reality he has become a complete poor man. People everywhere are screaming at him for money, but how can he have so much money?

Officials' salaries have to be paid, military expenses for fighting wars have to be paid, disaster relief money has to be given... nothing can be saved.

Hey, worry about your life, this position is not easy to do.

"Is 50% less?" Qi Xingyun thought for a while and asked.

Hearing that Qi Xingyun started to come over to discuss the price, Yang Ruoqing felt happy, it was probably done.

"Your Majesty, I think there is another benefit to this matter."

"What's the benefit?" Qi Xingyun asked doubtfully.

"Look, the common people don't know how powerful the imperial guards are. Your Majesty can issue a decree to let the common people watch the competition. This will allow the common people to see how powerful our Qi Imperial Guards are, and people's hearts will be at peace." Yang Ruoqing.

explained.

Qi Xingyun was silent.

This is a good idea. People's hearts and minds are extremely important.

If he can gain the support of all the people, his position will be secure.

Qi Xingyun said: "I'm sure about this, Qing'er, so I won't bother you. Just go and help Jiang Wulang in the competition."

"Okay!" These were the words Yang Ruoqing was waiting for.

"From now on, you will make your own decisions regarding these competitions, and you will not come here to talk about them again..."

"In addition, I already know about Yuan Long. In fact, they are just a group of villains in a dark corner. They cannot be underestimated or ignored, nor should they take it too seriously. This matter is also left to you, Qing'er. Those who can do it will do the hard work.

I will give you a secret edict, a formal status as an imperial minister, and a Shangfang sword. Ministers below the fifth rank can be killed first and then reported."

Qi Xingyun's words showed his imperial demeanor. He acted freely and made decisions in an instant without being sloppy.

Yang Ruoqing sighed in her heart, if it was time to take the reins as emperor, Qi Xingyun was really much stronger than the eldest prince and the others, with a natural imperial aura.

After Yang Ruoqing left, Qi Xingyun was still thinking about what Yang Ruoqing said.

The nearby father-in-law Wang Yun also came to listen to his advice at any time.

"Qing'er, this woman is really amazing. It would be great if she could be in charge of the imperial court's finances. The imperial court has a lot of property, but all it manages is a bunch of pigs!"

"Wang Yun, do you think so?"

"Your Majesty, I am so dim-sighted, how can I know about these important affairs of the court?" Wang Yun wiped his eyes.
