The emperor angrily threw the fold in his hand on the ground and said angrily: "Moths, they are all moths of a group of imperial courts. ”

Dali Siqing lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head now, not daring to speak.

Of course, the crime of the Zhongshan Hou Mansion in the fold submitted is not only the annexation of Liangtian, the Zhongshan Hou Mansion has taken a lot of actions in the past six months, and even the women in the back house have interfered in the affairs of the men outside.

Gonggong Wan knelt on the ground and picked up the fold, gently put it back on the table, and then persuaded: "Your Majesty, you can dissipate your anger, but don't be angry." ”

The emperor also thought about the secret fold that Lord Hu presented to him, which listed which officials in the local area were close to the Marquis of Zhongshan, and how he set up a project to use the special money for the construction of the straight road.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I felt.

After a long while, he slowly calmed down, and then said, "Go and invite the prince over." ”

Wan Gong said yes fairly, and then went out to ask someone to invite the prince.

The prince came quickly, and when he came in, he was not surprised to see Dali Siqing standing in the Qinzheng Palace, and knelt on the ground to salute the emperor first.

The emperor said, "Let's get up and speak first." ”

The prince said yes and stood up.

Then the emperor asked Gonggong Wan to show him the folds presented by Dali Siqing and Master Hu.

The prince glanced through the ten lines, but did not comment on anything.

The emperor asked, "What do you think?" ”

The prince said: "Although the matter of this person's complaint seems to be conclusive, the matter still needs to be investigated in detail, one is to convince people's hearts, and the other is to avoid being framed." ”

The emperor said: "This matter is entrusted to you, and you will cooperate with Dali Siqing to conduct a thorough investigation." ”

The prince and Dali Temple Qing Dao is.

The Emperor nodded, waved them away.

After the prince and Dali Siqing retired, Gonggong Wan stepped forward again and said: "Your Majesty, just now the father-in-law of the country asked to see the emperor, because the emperor was receiving the Dali Siqing, the father-in-law went to Changkun Palace first, and now the father-in-law of the country is outside the door, the emperor wants to see it?" ”

The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly felt some sudden pain in his temples, and sighed to Gonggong Wan: "I see that it will not be a good thing for anyone who came to me today." ”

Gonggong Wan immediately said: "The slave will go out and tell the grandfather of the country to come back in a few days." ”

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Let him come in." ”

Wan Gong is fair, and then spreads out: "Xuanguo's father-in-law is here." ”

The words spread out layer by layer, and Lin Ying, who was talking to the prince outside, patted the prince on the shoulder, and said something again, and then walked up the stairs and entered the Qinzheng Palace.

He saluted the emperor first, and the emperor called out, gave him a seat, and then asked, "What is the matter with Aiqing being in a hurry to see me?" ”

Lin Ying didn't say anything, and first presented the letter from the northwest to the emperor.

The emperor took it and opened it for a look, sighed, and then said to Wan Gong: "Go to the Xuanhu Department Shangshu to meet you." ”

After Xuan Guogong came, he glanced at Lin Ying, who was sitting inside, and had already guessed what the emperor had summoned him, and he had already thought of a way to deal with it, and he was not panicked, and came forward to salute the emperor very calmly.

The emperor asked him directly: "Xuan Guogong, if I remember correctly, I have already ordered you to take the military salary from the northwest out of the warehouse and transport it to the northwest military camp, why has there been no movement until now?" ”

Xuanguo Gong made a look of embarrassment on his face, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, it is not that the minister deliberately delays the military salary in the northwest, but that the silver money of the household department is all in the construction of the north-south straight road, and now the household department really can't make up the silver taels of military salary." ”

The emperor stared at him with fierce eyes, and his voice was a little angry, and said: "At the beginning of the year, when the household department counted the treasury money, I had already ordered the general's salary to be set aside and not to be used, and now you told me that all the money in the household department was used for the construction of the north-south straight road, Wu Jing, do you think I am too old to be confused?" ”

Xuan Guogong hurriedly knelt down and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister does not dare, but the minister is indeed difficult to say." At the beginning of the year, the household counted the silver in this year's tax, so the amount counted was much more than the actual deposit of the household, but this year's taxes in various places have not been paid, so the use of silver money by the household department is inevitably stretched. In addition, last month, the Marquis of Jinghai also folded and asked the imperial court to allocate military salaries, when the Marquis of Jinghai was fighting against the Japanese invaders, and the military salaries could not be delayed, so the ministers allocated the remaining silver money to the Marquis of Jinghai first, and the household department really couldn't allocate the silver to the northwest now. ”

Xuan Guogong snorted in his heart, anyway, there is only so much money, and if it is allocated to the Cui family's army, it will inevitably be the Shaolin family's army, one is the prince's Yue's family, and the other is the prince's foreign family, so you will fight first.

The emperor only felt a headache when he heard this, and he naturally knew that there was Xuan Guogong's deliberate attempt to embarrass the Lin family. But it's not wrong for him to do this, and all the crux of the problem is that the treasury is not rich.

Lin Ying looked at the emperor and said: "It's not that the ministers are embarrassed by the emperor and Wu Shangshu, this is already August, the northwest is early in winter, and once it is winter, the Hu people who live by grazing will inevitably have to go south, and then the ministers can't let the soldiers go hungry to fight." ”

Xuan Guo said: "I know that my father-in-law has always loved soldiers like sons, but no matter how great my ability is, I can't conjure up these millions of taels of military salary at once." Saying that, he smiled again, and said to the emperor: "If it was in the past, the minister would have some family resources to give, but since the last time he offered silver, the minister is now so poor that he has to live in the house as something to survive, and he is really powerless." ”

The Xuanguo Mansion is naturally not miserable to the point of living as a thing, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and although the Wu family is greatly injured, the wealth is still comparable to the ordinary mansion.

Xuan Guogong continued: "Wait a little longer, this year's tax will be collected in October." When the tax money is in the treasury, I will immediately allocate it and transport it to the northwest. ”

Lin Ying smiled in his heart, it was already winter in the northwest in October, and it would be November for the silver to be sent to the northwest, and even the horses would starve to death at that time, so what to do to fight the Hu people.

The emperor said, "How much silver is left in the household?" ”

Xuanguo said: "Less than 400,000 taels." ”

The emperor said: "Send it to the northwest first, and order all localities to pay this year's taxes in advance." ”

Lin Ying said at this time: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that the imperial court is using money, and the military salaries in the northwest may be difficult to allocate for a while, but the soldiers in the northwest cannot guard the border on an empty stomach." Yesterday, the dealer had promised the minister that he was willing to donate 500,000 loads of grain to be used as military pay in the northwest. The minister thought that this grain would be enough to support this year's taxes. ”

As he spoke, he took out the fold of Zhuang's offering of grain from his body and held it to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor sat up straight and motioned for Gong Wan to come up.

Xuan Guogong sighed in his heart, only to understand that Lin Ying had been prepared, and scolded the old fox in his heart. Since he knew that the dealer would offer grain, why didn't he say it at the beginning, he had to wait until the emperor felt helpless to say it, but it seemed that his Lin family was loyal, but he was incompetent.

After reading it, the emperor's face became happy, and he said the word "good" a few times, and then said: "The dealer really cares about the world, although he is a businessman, but he is a benevolent businessman." Let the head of the dealer come to see me tomorrow, and I will reward the dealer well. ”

Lin Ying smiled and said yes, and said, "The minister thanked the emperor Longen." (To be continued.) )
