Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Emperor Ling Hui was very excited to know in advance that Marshal Gu had taken down the Southern Frontier and expanded the territory of Ling Kingdom by a quarter.

He said emotionally to the courtiers, 'Marshal Gu and the soldiers have worked hard! We must reward the soldiers guarding the border who can't go home. Let them feel the spring breeze of the Imperial Court and how much it values them! '

There were few people in the Southern Frontier. The best reward was to give money and food to their wives.

The courtiers looked at each other. Only Li Guozhong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the battle has just ended. The treasury' is empty, and the people have yet to recuperate. We can't reward the soldiers for the time being."

Not to mention rewards, it was difficult to pay anything now.

Without any money in the national treasury, Sheng Huaixuan handed over all his hundred years' worth of family assets. Emperor Ling Hui's personal treasury was also very abundant.

When Emperor Ling Hui heard Li Guozhong's words, the smile on his face froze.

It was not that he did not want to take out the silver to reward the army. If there was a precedent, as long as the treasury' was empty, this group of ministers would ask him for money. Wouldn't his personal treasury also become the national treasury? Then why would he keep these ministers!

His subjects should be helping him to resolve his concerns!

He definitely could not spoil them!

Emperor Ling Hui was about to speak when Song Liansheng helped him out. "Rewarding the soldiers is your duty! The treasury is empty, so you have to think of a way to fill it up!"

Li Guozhong's expression was constipated. Before Emperor Ling Hui could be happy for a moment, Song Liansheng said, 'The land of the Southern Frontier is sparsely populated, and the people are valiant. If you want them to completely assimilate and stabilize the territory of the Ling Kingdom so that Marshal Gu doesn't have anything to worry about, I suggest that we exile the prisoners and migrate the people so that the Southern Frontier can truly become a part of our Ling Country! "

The Yan Kingdom had more than 800 years of history. There were as many royal family memebers as there were hairs on an ox. If Emperor Ling Hui wanted to eradicate all these people, it would waste their effort, he might as well strip them of their titles and assets and send them to the deserted southern frontier.

There was nothing there, so he was not afraid that they would cause trouble.

Li Guozhong glanced at Song Liansheng in surprise. In this way, they did not have to exploit the people and the treasury would be rich.

Emperor Ling Hui felt that this was a good idea. Just as he was about to discuss with them which areas to move the people to the Southern Frontier, Chu Mingxuan, who had been traveling overnight, entered the hall.

After not seeing him for more than half a year, Chu Mingxuan had lost a lot of weight. His originally ordinary face looked very weathered after traveling overnight. At a glance, compared to the handsome Emperor Ling Hui, one might even think that Chu Mingxiuan was his father.

Before Chu Mingxuan came in, he had already asked his wife about the topic that Emperor Ling Hui and the courtiers were discussing.

Chu Mingxuan guessed that Emperor Ling Hui did not like to use his personal treasury and was secretly happy about it. His chance to officially show his face as the future heir to the throne had arrived.
