Chapter 51: Reward
The next day, Tang Zhi learned that Hua Tianqiang had been killed, and the person who told Tang Zhi was actually Xiang Huayang.
Tang Zhi couldn't have imagined that Xiang Huayang would kill the master!
Tang Zhi was furious: "Hua Tianqiang is my great meritorious, you actually killed me, come on, drag Xiang Huayang out and behead him." ”
"Back to the emperor, Hua Tianqiang told people that without him, there would be no current emperor, and it seemed that without him, the emperor would not be able to bring down Qin Gui, and the minister was really angry. Xiang Huayang defended himself with the words that Liu Shen handed him.
"Then you can't kill him, he did have a merit in capturing Qin Gui, I promised him to make him the prime minister of the court, and if you actually kill him, I won't be able to kill you!" Tang Zhi was furious on the surface, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart, how could this Xiang Huayang be so sensible? I didn't see it before, I thought he was an iron man before.
"The emperor killed me, I also want to say, what credit does he have for Hua Tianqiang? It is nothing more than the light of the minister, the minister was originally a family member in his house, but as the emperor's personal guard, he is the emperor's person, he actually used me to seek power here in the emperor, and wanted to be the prime minister, and yesterday he also won over the important ministers of the court, he just wanted to be the next Qin Gui, and the ministers must kill him. "The guards on the Zhengda Guangming Hall have come behind Xiang Huayang.
At this time, Liu Shen stood up.
"Your Majesty, although it is wrong to kill Hua Tianqiang to Captain Xiang, he is also thinking about the emperor everywhere, and the minister feels that what Xiang Captain said is also somewhat reasonable, so it is better to spare Captain Xiang's life. ”
At this time, many ministers in the DPRK and China also stood up to intercede with Huayang.
"Please also ask the emperor to spare the captain's life. "These ministers were all done by Liu Shen last night.
Tang Zhi immediately understood why Xiang Huayang, a simple man, was suddenly sensible, and when he thought about it, he knew that it was Liu Shen's credit.
"For the sake of all Aiqing's intercession, I will spare your life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and I will escort Xiang Huayang to beat fifty military sticks, and cancel his identity as the captain of the personal guard, and send the frontier to be a general's adjutant. ”
The guards quickly escorted Xiang Huayang down, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the emperor's favoritism towards Xiang Huayang, and on the face he was punishing Xiang Huayang, but he was actually cultivating him, and the fifty military sticks couldn't cause any harm to Xiang Huayang at all, how could the master of the Xuanye Realm be hurt by the wooden stick?
After Xiang Huayang was escorted down, Tang Zhi issued his second decree, released Li Zongtang, and set up two prime ministers on the left and right, namely Li Zongtang, the left prime minister, and Liu Shen, the right prime minister, both of whom were officially sealed a product, as for the powers, Tang Zhi has not been subdivided.
At the same time, Xiao Guizi's Jinyi Wei Department was announced, and everyone in the court who was above Jinyiwei only obeyed the emperor's orders, and the officials under the four grades could be cut first and then played.
After sealing these people, Tang Zhi asked about Tang Ziyu and Hua Laile.
The progress on both sides is not very smooth, although the victims of Hualaile take locusts as food, but the food is not enough, the people still can't eat, and there is a famine, but the epidemic is controlled by Hualaile, Hualaile uses folk secret recipes to treat those who have the plague.
And Tang Ziyu's side, he was resisted by the bandits, but he didn't want to be recruited, and he also beat Tang Ziyu, Tang Ziyu was assassinated by the bandits when he first arrived in the West, and he didn't sleep well for a day.
Moreover, the front line was in an emergency, and Chen Guo captured a city, and Tang Zhi's good mood sank again.
"Everyone, Aiqing, what is the best plan?" Tang Zhi was really too lazy to use his brains, there were so many martial arts ministers under his command, let them also think of a way.
At this time, Liu Shen stood up.
"Your Majesty, the disaster in the south can be solved by the ministers. ”
I like this kind of minister who shares his worries.
"Okay, how much emergency food does Liu Aiqing need to go to disaster relief?" Tang Zhi asked, Tang Zhi checked the inventory of the treasury and granary yesterday, and the treasury was already very rich because of Qin Gui.
However, there is really not much grain in the granary, and there is only a few hundred thousand catties of rations, and there are millions of people in the disaster area, not to mention that one person can not get a catty, and there is still more than a month before the harvest season of new grain.
"Back to the emperor, the grain in the granary of the Great Wall of Ma, Weichen needs a total of 500,000 catties of rations. ”
500,000 catties, Tang Zhi thought that the inventory of the granary of the Great Wall should be about 700,000 catties, so he agreed to Liu Shen's request.
"I, give you 600,000 catties, tomorrow you and Li Zongtang will rush to the south to relieve the victims. Tang Zhi was afraid that Liu Shen would embezzle disaster relief food privately, so he sent Li Zongtang to go with him to supervise Liu Shen.
After dealing with the southern bandits, Tang Zhi decided to go to see the situation himself.
"There are two prime ministers who go to deal with the disaster area, and I don't have to worry about the south, so the bandits in the west, I plan to go to Zhao'an in person. ”
There were some discordant voices in the court.
"Your Majesty, you must not, the emperor has just taken back the power of the dynasty, and the power of the dynasty is not yet stable, how can you go to the West to risk your life?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if you go west, if something happens, you will have no queen, but Tang Guo will be in chaos again. ”
............
Although Qin Gui's remnants were not sincerely loyal to Tang Zhi, they were also afraid that something would happen to Tang Zhi, after all, if Tang Zhi died, Tang Guo would definitely set off a bloody storm because of the struggle for the throne, and the power would have to be reshuffled.
can live a good life steadily, no one wants to toss, the battle for the throne often has to kill many people, and no one can say whether they will be one of the dead.
"If I don't go, who of you will go? Besides, if you go, you won't be able to settle those bandits. I have made up my mind, and it is useless for the ministers to say more. ”
Liu Shen stood up again.
"Minister, I agree that the emperor will go to the west to recruit peace, but the minister suggests that the emperor bring some strong enough guards to protect the emperor, and it is best to be accompanied by my dragon and tiger riders from the Tang Dynasty. ”
The dragon and tiger are riding in Qin Gui's hands, and this Liu Shen doesn't know it, what is the purpose of him standing up and saying this at this time?
"The tiger talisman has long been gone, and this dragon and tiger can't be mobilized at all, so I can take my personal guards to the west. ”
"Emperor Qi, Weichen thinks that the old emperor should be able to mobilize the dragon and tiger horse. ”
Tang Zhi then remembered that Tang San was coming, yes, why did you forget the old emperor's uncle? This is my big backstage. This Liu Shen really thought of it for himself everywhere, it was easy to use and comfortable, and Tang Zhi felt the happiness of having real power.
I can't think of anything myself, and the ministers under him help you think about it, saving yourself a lot of brain cells.
"Then according to what Liu Shen said, I have time to ask Uncle Huang about the dragon and tiger ride.
As for Chen Guo in the north, he took out a million inferior energy stones from the treasury, bought mercenaries, and beat me back. ”
Tang Zhi, who copied the Qin Mansion, is now a big local tyrant, some are money, and if one million mercenaries are not enough, he will have two million, and if two million is not enough, he will have two million medium-grade energy stones.
If Qin Gui in the Heavenly Prison knew that Tang Zhi planned to squander the energy stones he had worked so hard to save, he would have to vomit blood.
