Chapter 52: The Early Dynasty (2)
Li Xiang laughed instead of being angry when he heard this, "Lord An, what we are discussing at the moment is disaster relief, not the frontier, what are your intentions in diverting the topic?" ”
King An's face paused, and he also smiled, "What this king is talking about is disaster relief!" The soldiers of the military department are not helpful, so they should send more to disaster relief, and if they can't fight, they can build a house, right? Otherwise, the imperial court will be paid in vain. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" is a naked irony in the back.
Li Xiang couldn't laugh anymore, immediately pulled down his face, and looked at King An coldly, "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival." When you question the ability of our soldiers like this, you are doubting the emperor's way of governing the country. The last sentence was said by turning to the emperor who was seated up. Then he sneered and added, "Even the Queen Mother would not dare to insult my country's soldiers like this." If there were no soldiers who sacrificed their lives to defend the frontier, would Prince An be able to stand here so comfortably and safely? ”
The emperor on the throne still eats, drinks, and amuses beauties, but he doesn't hear Li Xiang's words at all.
King An had already put away his smile and looked at him condensedly, and when he heard the last sentence of the Queen Mother, his face turned even more frosty, and his eyes looked at Li Xiang like a sword. "Don't misinterpret the meaning of this king and button his hat indiscriminately to this king! This king asked the military department to send more troops to solve the flood and build houses for disaster relief. ”
"Humph!" Li Xiang snorted coldly and expressed contempt for what he said, but did not dwell on this topic anymore. "Disaster relief and disaster relief is to give out silver, and the household department should pull out a million taels of silver." It's the silver that counts.
Directly named the household department, and it was not good for King An to come forward to answer again. He threw a look at the Hubu Shangshu, Hubu Shangshu Lu Yan is a very good eye, and he is also very good at figuring out people's thoughts, King An's eyes were thrown over, he immediately understood, stood up in the line with the fenban, bowed slightly, and replied very respectfully, "Lord Prime Minister, the treasury is really empty, and I can't take out so much silver. In a few sentences, the matter was thrown to the military department.
Sun Kongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also couldn't stand still, and after receiving Li Xiang's signal, he stood up and snorted coldly at Lu Yan, "Lu Shangshu, the military salary you asked for a while ago was the military salary that was deducted by your household department for half a year, and this has not been paid according to the number, and now you dare to put the responsibility on the head of the military department, the imperial court has to pay so many taxes every year, how can the treasury be empty, could it be that all this silver has gone into your Lu Shangshu's pocket." ”
Lu Yan was annoyed and ashamed, "Slander! Sun Kongyi, in front of the saint, you have to speak with evidence! After speaking, he turned around and knelt down to the upper seat, and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, you want to make the decision for the old minister, the old minister has a clean sleeve, and he will definitely not embezzle the money and grain of the court, and Sun Kong is also slandering the old minister." ”
Sun Kongyi and Lu Yan are both over 100 years old, and they both call themselves old ministers.
At this time, King An also turned around and bent down towards the upper seat, "Brother Huang, the younger brother thinks that Sun Shangshu slandered Lu Shangshu like this without any evidence, and he should be punished to be right." ”
The emperor, who was named, hugged Concubine Li and kissed him, before he sat up straight and looked down at the palace. Concubine Li was kissed by him and laughed, and shouted 'hate' charmingly.
No matter where this picture is placed, it is very immoral, let alone in the early morning when it should have been solemn and solemn. Looking at the group of civil and military officials under the palace, there is nothing unusual, let alone persuasive.
The emperor squinted, looked at the audience, and asked locally, "What are you going to do?" Punish what? Let's talk about what's going on first, I'm having a good time with my concubine, I didn't listen. ”
Very, extremely, irresponsible words. The people in the audience were not angry at all, let alone showing the surface, and no one was even angry in their hearts.
Li Xiang took a moment to briefly explain the matter from beginning to end, of course, in the process of speaking, he would skillfully blame King An and Hubu Shangshu, and even said that Sun Kongyi's slander of Lu Yan was lightly avoided.
King An on the side was not happy, he stood up angrily, and also said the matter simply, and also skillfully put the responsibility on Li Xiang, and said heavily about Sun Kongyi's slander of Lu Yan, and asked Sun Kongyi to punish him heavily, so as to be in the wind.
The emperor nodded while listening, and Concubine Li next to him did not leave behind to serve him, a sip of wine, a grape for a while, feeding it happily, and the emperor was also happy to eat.
After hearing this, the emperor didn't pay attention to the two, but asked Lu Yan, who was kneeling, "Lu Aiqing, what do you have to say?" ”
Lu Yan, who was named, was overjoyed in his heart, kowtowed again, and shouted more aggrievedly than Gang'er, "The emperor is wise, he must be the master of the ministers, Sun Kong also casually slandered the ministers without any evidence, what face do the ministers have in the court." ”
"Flat, I don't like to see people kneeling like this." The emperor said lightly, without smiling or angry. Then he ignored him and looked at King An and Li Xiang in the first place, "I'm not interested in punishment and the like, you can do it yourself." I am a little interested in disaster relief, and they all say that the south is rich in beauties, all of them are smart, delicate, and even in line with my taste, and the disaster is so serious, don't drown all the beauties, then there will be so many beauties in my harem in the coming year, which I will never allow. Someone came, spread my will, the household department pulled out 500,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stone of grain for disaster relief, and the military department sent 10,000 soldiers to help, and this matter was jointly carried out by Li Aiqing and the imperial brother. Speaking of will, the emperor's face finally had a hint of majesty again.
His Royal Highness, King An and Li Xiang, could not accept this result, and they all stepped forward to defend it.
"Brother Huang, Li Shangshu just reported to his brother a while ago that the treasury really can't take out 500,000 taels of silver, and 100,000 stone of grain can barely be scraped together. Brother Huang, look... "The first thing I can't bear is King An, 500,000 taels of silver, a huge amount of money, just slipped through his fingers, he was distressed to death, even if he could do it when he was executed, there would still be a lot of outflows, which would have a certain impact on his career.
Li Xiang on the side was not lagging behind, "Your Majesty, now that the frontier is tight, people from all walks of life are watching each other carelessly, and suddenly transfer 10,000 soldiers to leave, in case the enemy attacks in, the frontier will suffer a big loss." ”
"Shut up, my will has been made, you don't have any jokes, but do you want to resist the will? I don't want to hear about it anymore, and within a month, I'm going to get the results. The emperor was rarely angry, pushed away Concubine Li beside him, stood up and pointed at the two of them to get angry.
King An and Li Xiang didn't dare to say anything more, and the others didn't dare to move, and suddenly the hall was silent.
Seeing that everyone was silent, the emperor sat back on the dragon chair, quickly drank two sips of fine wine, and then got up and left in a hurry, and loudly threw two words to the ministers, "Retreat from the court!" ”
Concubine Li on the side reacted, hurriedly followed behind, and shouted in her mouth, 'Your Majesty, wait for the concubines.' ’
And the ministers are you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all look at King An and Li Xiang in the first place.
After the emperor left, King An and Li Xiang glared at each other angrily, flicked their sleeves and turned to leave. Seeing that both of them had left, the others also left the main hall after him.
