Chapter 30: Deliberation

A great victory in the war, so that the people of the Darui Dynasty uplifted, the war is won, the soldiers can go home, there is nothing happier than a family reunion, there is no war, the people do not have to be displaced, live and work in peace and contentment, is the wish of the people.

In the court, winning the battle shows that he is a good official, and he may be able to go down in history in the future.

The palace, the victory of our army proves the correctness of the emperor's administration, what big moves the emperor has in the military in the future, the ministers of the cabinet can have a lot of objections, and at the same time the emperor's ruling strength is also stronger, of course the emperor is very happy, but when he wants to celebrate, summon a few trusted ministers to discuss, and is about to make an order immediately, he was drenched by his own Aiqing Gu Shizi with a basin of water, it is really a cold day is basking in the sun, drinking warm tea when suddenly the sky is overcast, a snow and ice fall, It doesn't get any more disappointing than that.

Gu Shizi didn't want to be this unhappy person, originally he wanted to talk to the emperor about his speculation in private, but the emperor summoned the ministers to celebrate with the sky, so he had to say it at the moment of the emperor's decree.

When Gu Shizi said that there might be changes in the war in the northwest, the emperor thought that Gu Shizi was joking, but looking at his love for Qing Yan SΓΉ, he could only press down the trace of luck in his heart, and had to face the reality and summon several generals into the palace.

…

Half a month later, in the northwest, Jiangnan at the same time came to the news, the barbarians slowly defeated and retreated to confuse our army, while sending dozens of people into Jiangnan, they did not plunder property, after entering the south of the Yangtze River, they specifically destroyed the crops, destroyed and left, while destroying and retreating, all the crops that had just grown were destroyed, and when everyone reacted, the farmland had been almost destroyed, and even if the barbarians were killed, it would be useless, because most of them were convicted prisoners, and those who came to Jiangnan to do this ticket and successfully returned could not only be exempted from crime but also rewarded, For people who have nothing, what else can they not do, it can be said that the barbarian man's trick is really vicious, in line with the idea that I don't feel good about you, last year they didn't have a harvest, starved and frozen, grab something and you will come to fight hard, this year also let you try the principle, come to a trick to draw salary, it is really harmful to others and not to themselves, but this trick really hit the seven inches of the Da Rui Dynasty, and the follow-up is not enough to counterattack.

At the same time, it is foreseeable how bleak the autumn harvest in Jiangnan will be this year, how many people will not be able to eat, not warm, and how many people will be displaced, the court is worried, they thought that there will be a big move in the barbarians, and they have taken precautions, but unfortunately it is still a step late, and the crops rescued back are only a small part, it is really easy to destroy, it is difficult to build, spring sowing has already passed, what is good to plant in bare farmland again? And where do the seeds come from? What about farmers who have lost their crops? It's a real headache, and if you don't get it right, you'll rebel.

Recently, the emperor's face has been very dark, listening to the courtiers below at this time, they are not thinking about how to solve the problem, but they are actually discussing and asking whose crime should be punished and what punishment should be received. I don't think that the people who are crusading below I don't know whose people and horses, looking at the worried faces of several ministers in the cabinet, it is really an old fox, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and suppressed the depression in his heart, this throne is really not ordinary difficult to sit on, even so he is still reluctant, he has only been sitting for a few years, and he has not sat enough, and the feeling of power in his hand is difficult to put down once he holds it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Aiqing is reasonable, several errant generals have already been asked for guilt, and the relevant punishments will be announced by the Ministry of War.

"The minister believes that we should open a warehouse to relieve the people in Jiangnan and appease the victims, so as not to make them ****." An official from the Ministry of Industry said.

"The minister objected, the grain and grass that supplied the war in the northwest were already reluctantly enough for our household department, and if we opened a warehouse again, where would our household department find food? You Ministry guys are just going to open your mouths and ask for it. An official from the household department stood up in strong opposition.

"The minister thinks that he should send an army to suppress those Diao people, lest they fall into the grass and bring harm to their neighbors." A general came out and said

"A group of guys who can only solve problems by force, aren't they afraid that they will be forced to backfire when the time comes?"

"What qualifications do powerless scholars have to say this, do you dare to guarantee that those people will not fall into the grass?"

"As long as they are appeased, of course they won't."

"Are you poor? What else can I do besides crying poor, the minister thinks that the imperial court can organize fundraising to solve the urgent need..."

"I thought I could."

……

When the quarrel stopped below, the emperor asked, "Yan Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

"The minister believes that this incident should first appease the suffering people, so as not to be provoked by people with good intentions to rebel, and at the same time send troops to assist."

"The specific method has been written down on the fold." Yan Ge Lao presented a recital.

The emperor looked at it and said, "We will discuss it later."

A few days later, the specific plan for the Jiangnan disaster relief incident has been concluded, the household department pays money, the Ministry of Rites sends personnel to appease, the Ministry of Industry sends technical personnel, and finds ways to replant and reduce losses, and the army is sent by the local guard to assist, of course, who will lead this errand is a good round of debate, after all, it is a great benefit to do this errand well, everyone wants their own people to go, everyone knows that the Jiangnan prefect is going to be replaced, and the person in command is almost certain to be the next prefect. This fat errand must not fall to the opponent, and a new round of controversy began.

The people on Xungui's side think that they are influential, and their people will lead them to appease the people's feelings, and many things such as pacifying the people will be twice the result with half the effort.

Ministers think their people are better off because they have a mass base, and they are close to the people and know the needs of the people best.

…….

Each has its own reason, the emperor is very satisfied with the people arguing below, as long as they are not in a mess, as for who to send, he has already made a decision in his heart, but it is not good to bring it up himself, and he has his own henchmen to solve problems.

"We old guys should give young people some opportunities, it's good for the minister to look at Wei Yuan and wait for the prince, the new science and technology jinshi, now he is in the ministry to watch the government, and he is just right to assist."

The people next to him listened to it, and scolded Yan Ge Lao for being cunning, who didn't know that the emperor planned to reuse the newcomer, and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and the Chengguo Mansion were in-laws, and the Chengguo Mansion had always been a close minister of the emperor's side, saying that he Yan Ge Lao was not patting the emperor's ass, who would believe it? flattered the emperor and then his own people were left to take care of it, what a good Yan Ge elder.

The minister who reacted was busy saying that it was good, and there were good young people on his own side, so the people of each faction had one to assist, as for the leader, of course, it was the people of the royal family, the emperor's brother King An, and Gu Shizi went with him.
