151 Bipartisanship

However, it was said that in the court, in order to restore the Chengqi, the ministers quarreled again.

Rong Chengqi served as the prime minister of Shangshu Zuo as the king of the county before the death of Emperor Shunzuo, and was in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry.

After Emperor Yongshao ascended the throne, although he also removed some important personnel of the yamen, after all, some people who did a bad job could not change all their brains, among which there were naturally people who were tolerant of Chengqi, and when they saw that the prince was going to recover, they also borrowed the momentum of the East Palace to come out and seconded the proposal.

Now, some other ministers in high positions were far inferior to him in the past, so how could they want him to stand in the court again? I am afraid that after the crown prince has the backing, they will have to fight against them, so they are resolutely opposed.

Rong Chengqi is the brother-in-law of the abolished emperor, how can Emperor Yongshao easily reinstate him, the ministers are noisy, but he never says anything with a black face.

Lu Mengen couldn't afford to regain his appearance and didn't care about Chengqi, seeing that it was getting dark, and he hadn't yet fought for an ugly man, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Since you don't understand it for a while, and wait for tomorrow to discuss it, the minister has a plan." ”

Since the beginning of the year, he has been pestering the Quang Ninh Army to replace the defense of Gyeonggi, and even wants to withdraw the soldiers and horses of the five cities, withdraw the three battalions, and withdraw the Longcheng Guard, and replace them with their men.

This request is even more unlikely to be agreed to by Emperor Yongshao, Ruan Yue was attached to King Zhao before the deposed emperor ascended the throne, and was imprisoned with King Zhao at the beginning, but now it has become an out-and-out imperial party, and he clearly opposes Lu Meng'en's proposal, which is even more popular with Yongshao.

Since he sat in the position of the right attendant of the ministry, he naturally began to covet the position of the secretary of the ministry, in this court situation that was obviously about to be reshuffled. With a good grasp, the triple jump is not impossible.

He originally had no opinion on the crown prince. made a calculation in his heart, even if the crown prince ascended the throne, he could be regarded as a minister of the dragon, but now, because of a woman, he had to take advantage of the early plan. So that I don't know how I'll die when the time comes.

Lu Meng'en was forced, and Emperor Yongshao couldn't take all of ******'s proposals, so he had to make a slight concession: "Rong Chengqi was once a rebel against the party. Since the prince recommended it, he went to the household department to give anything, and now the Taicang treasury is exhausted, and the grain depot is far under the standing storage. If he can make meritorious deeds. The whereabouts of the first emperor Taicang silver were traced, and the number of shells in the first year was supplemented, and then the reward was promoted. Today's hour is not early, the matter of the placement of the Guangning Army, the Zhongshu Shangshu Military Department has really planned to discuss it, I will give you half a month, come up with a detailed strategy, and then discuss it. ”

Hear that. Liu Tong, Che Jingzhi and the others couldn't help it, and Liu Tong shouted first: "Your Majesty." Half a month can be waited, but the household department has to distribute all the rice and grain owed to the Guangning army, right? Do you want 200,000 people to gnaw grass roots and tree bark?"

Emperor Yongshao was silent with a dark face, and Wang Yifang, the head of the household department, had already come out and said: "Your Majesty, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has counted more than 700 Taicang granaries and 13 silver warehouses with 800 prisoners, and the number of rice and grain counted has been reported to Zhongshu and the prime ministers left and right. Guangning army grain and grass, according to His Majesty's will are allocated for the first time, has been allocated for a month, but Taicang reserves are running out, as for the money, there is really nowhere to raise, in the past the new emperor ascended the throne, all of them are amnesty to the world, this year is still in Xinzheng, but our department has rushed to send personnel to the provinces to urge the spring grain, the people do not know the country's difficulties, this move is really afraid to cause public anger. ”

Wang Yifang saw that Emperor Yongshao glanced at the prince, and immediately turned to the prince and knelt down and played: "In previous years, the Guangning army prepared more than two-thirds of its own military resources, and the minister expected that the money and grain collected this spring could barely maintain the expenses of the harem, the government departments and the imperial court. ”

Rong Xijue doesn't like to talk around the bush, it doesn't mean that he can't understand these twists and turns, remembering that Ling Xiang said that the family of the Jiangnan gentry often has thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and a person with a meritorious name in the family can be exempted from taxes by hanging it in his name, and the rice and grain collected by the imperial court are really the blood and sweat of the people at the bottom, so he couldn't help but snort.

Wang Yifang had already heard that the prince had killed countless people, and he was known as the "bloodthirsty wolf king", and when he snorted, he was already scared into a cold sweat and didn't dare to say it again.

Ruan Yue secretly thought to himself, it was only a matter of time before the East Palace attacked him, and now the only way to do so was to stand on the emperor's side to show loyalty, and there were fewer and fewer courtiers who dared to stand up to the crown prince. Immediately, he didn't care about overstepping the ministry and leveling, and knelt down and said: "The minister thinks that Wang Shangshu is loyal to the country, and what he said is the crux of the problem, the Guangning army is short of food, and at present, it can also borrow one or two million stones from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to solve the urgent need." But Taizu Shizu has a clear training left, if our army is not a first-line defensive battle, they must plant and cultivate themselves to make up for the lack of supply of the imperial court. ”

Before the expansion of the Guangning Army, it was actually only a second-level protectorate in the Western Regions, with a maximum of 100,000 people.

Liu Tong was furious when he heard this, he had set himself up as the king, and of course he did not have many scruples when he spoke, so he immediately scolded: "Fart! The territory of Dayin before the expansion is comparable to that now?

Lu Mengen was the one who was most dissatisfied with the prince giving up the throne, and when he saw Rong Xijue's jade face was cold, he knew that the opportunity had come, and said with a grin: "Yan Guohou said well, the Guangning military has made great contributions, and some people want to abolish it, and the ministers are very in favor of abolishing the military personnel, but it is just right to cut the wine bags and rice bags in the Beijing army, Andong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so that these meritorious soldiers can fill the vacancy, and they can also get a share of the land, why not?"

Emperor Yongshao heard him keep saying that he wanted to dismantle the Beijing army, and he was angry in his heart, and said coldly: "Jingguo Gong, you are just a hussar general, but you are not a Chinese scholar, a left and right prime minister, I only want to listen to the opinions of the three auxiliary ministers on this matter." ”

Lu Meng's grace treated his strengths and faces, and when he saw the prince squinting, he glanced over his head and took a sip of hatred, and he didn't know who to show it.

It is very inappropriate to do this in the Golden Palace, and there is a royal history to go out to participate in Lu Mengen's unattended body.

Zhongshu Ling Qu Daoguang is old, has always been a master of the mud, Shunzuo Emperor in his later years of the decree is lazy, he has an unshirkable responsibility, originally the imperial party and the ****** to fight, he just wants to be a wall-by-side watch, but the emperor does not let him go, and is afraid that the conflict between the two parties will be ruthless, and he will not be able to live a peaceful life, so he has to block the imperial history, and played: "The old minister thinks that the Guangning army has made great contributions, and the household department does have a hard time, if they each take a step back, the household department will first raise silver in the two provinces according to Ruan Shilang's idea, prepare the grain and grass for the army for several months, and then think about it in the long run." ”

"How to think about it in the long run?" Emperor Yongshao naturally knew that this old fox wanted to ride the wall, and his illness was a good proof that he couldn't come when the Qinggong bloodbathed the emperor and other rebel ministers, but he couldn't allow this old man to continue to ride the wall.
