Chapter 32: A false alarm
Prime Minister Zuo frowned, the old gentleman was not familiar with His Royal Highness King Rui, who went to the fiefdom five years ago, and suddenly heard his voice in such righteous words, which was strange and angry for a while.
"Oh? That old man is going to listen to His Royal Highness King Rui's views today! Zuo Prime Minister Han Gao said disdainfully.
The deep eyes of the fifth prince also fell on him, the third brother who had always been indisputable, with deep inquiry.
Xiao Zhe was not afraid at all, he walked in front of the people, and said loudly: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, father, but there is a saying that 'the people are water, and the water can also carry the boat and overturn the boat', whether it is Liangzhou or Hanzhou, it is the territory of my Dawu Dynasty, and the people of Liangzhou or Hanzhou are the people of my Dawu Dynasty in the vast territory, and the territory of the country is sacred and inviolable. ”
The young prince stood in the middle of the crowd, and although his tone was calm, his words were like a hot tongs burning the hearts of everyone present.
As the royal family that ruled the Dawu Dynasty, only for the people of the Dawu Dynasty to keep their small family, the royal family would be supported, so that the rule could be continued.
Although the Dawu Dynasty has been founded for decades, it has still not entered the prosperous era, and the half-year-long naval battle in the East China Sea alone has emptied the newly accumulated treasury.
The white-bearded Prime Minister Zuo was speechless for a while when Xiao Zhe's words counterattacked.
Tai Kangdi's eyes flashed in the depths of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth actually raised a trace of imperceptible arc. He didn't praise the third son on the spot that he had never spent much time caring about before, but reached out and slapped the third son on the back of the head.
"Bastard, just talk, Lao Han is a generation older than you, how can there be such a sophistry with the elders, don't talk nonsense with me, if you stinky boy can't say a specific solution, don't say one, two, three, don't think about fooling the past." Tai Kangdi's actions stunned everyone, what does the emperor mean by this? Why did you suddenly care so much about the three princes who didn't care?
Although it hurts to be slapped on the back of his head by the emperor. But even the thirty-year-old prince is willing to be whipped a few times like this by Emperor Taikang. This is a symbol of filial piety of the father and son in the emperor's family.
The eyes of the crown prince and the fifth prince flashed with jealousy at the same time.
The corners of Xiao Zhe's eyes twitched. looked at himself, the emperor's father, and felt bitter in his heart, where did this old emperor care for him intimately, he was clearly digging a pit for him to jump. If it weren't for the danger of Ah Zheng. He would never have appeared so quickly.
Now I can't hide if I want to. No matter what, you have to rush up.
"Father, it was the sons who were reckless, in the eyes of the sons. If you want to aid Liangzhou, you must first gather soldiers, horses, grain and grass, let General Huayi lead his subordinates to support from Chengzhou, and then mobilize money and grain in Tianjinggang. Minnesota as the second line of defense. ”
"The third brother said simply, in order to support the East China Sea, now the treasury is empty, where will the money and food come from? Don't tell your little brother, you want to forcibly levy taxes, you just said that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat! The fifth prince also stood up at this time, and now he can't give Xiao Zhe a person to show off in front of his father.
Xiao Zhe chuckled, his head raised slightly, like a noble golden dragon that had just crossed the Dragon Gate, "Of course it is not possible to tax the people, in our Dawu Dynasty, the people are the bottom, they are easy to satisfy, and they are also the foundation of the Dawu Dynasty, but they are the hardest in life." I don't know if the fifth brother has investigated, the flow of money from the official manufacturing bureau of the Dawu Dynasty every year? ”
The fifth prince was speechless when asked by King Rui, and he opened his mouth in embarrassment, wanting to speak, but couldn't say a word.
Xiao Zhe ignored him anymore, he turned around and said: "Take the lowest currency, copper coins, for example, only forty percent of the new copper coins flow into the hands of the people every year, and the rest, guess where you are?" ”
Tai Kandi also seemed to hear something, and stood still in the middle without making a sound.
Seeing that the emperor did not speak, several old and refined ministers had no choice but to answer stubbornly.
The military department Shangshu had a thick hard beard, and he coughed, "But Shangjia? ”
Xiao Zhe smiled slightly, shook his head, Emperor Taikang suddenly found that this third child he had put in the fief was actually very similar to him when he was young, and he was so caught off guard that the softest part of the old emperor's heart was touched.
"It's not a businessman, it's a noble!" Xiao Zhe's unexpected answer was like a hammer hammer knocking down.
The Dawu Dynasty was founded for decades, and there were countless honors and nobles at the time of the founding of the country, and now almost all of them have a place in the court, and even many forces that have formed a group have begun to hold together.
Among them, most of the wealthy businessmen who were active in various parts of the Dawu Dynasty had the support of nobles behind them, and although the direct beneficiaries appeared to be these businessmen on the surface, they were actually those founding nobles.
In fact, Emperor Taikang also knows this, the weakness of the royal family is not a good thing at all, these years, he has rarely been crowned the marquis and worshiped the prime minister for this reason, before he could not find a good opportunity to weaken the power of Xungui, and when he freed his hands, he encountered the battle of the East China Sea.
Taikanti's eyes lit up.
When several important ministers heard the words of His Royal Highness King Rui, they all shrank their necks and did not say a word.
Weaken the Honor!
Oh my God, what did they hear!
When the official arrives in this position, he is basically not from the noble family, or there is the support of the noble family behind him, and the power of the court is complex, and the reason why these old thieves who have become elite is always thinking about the country, but because they have not touched their fundamental interests, after all, externally, the noble and the royal family are grasshoppers tied to a rope, but they are different in their own homes.
In the final analysis, the change of court is a struggle caused by the uneven division of interests.
A few old guys in the Xuanzheng Hall were already thinking about how to reveal the news to their families.
After Xiao Zhe said this, he looked at Emperor Taikang in front of him.
Emperor Taikang seemed to smile, first glanced at his young son, and then swept his gaze meaningfully over the ministers.
The chilling smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and the next second's voice became cold, "Today's words, needless to say, I guess a few old Qing families also know how to do it, right?" ”
Several old men hurriedly bent down and saluted, and said in unison: "The ministers are terrified! ”
"Okay, I'm tired now, you all go down, the prince also goes down, Ah Zhe stays with me, I haven't seen you well for several years."
After the emperor said this, the eyes of the crown prince and the fifth prince looking at Xiao Zhe were complicated and indescribable.
Just as everyone was about to retreat, Wuyan suddenly hurried in, and fell to his knees with a pop, "Emperor...... Your Majesty, the secret spy department is urgent! ”
These old ministers and princes who had just taken steps stopped again.
"Bring it up!" Tai Kandi said anxiously.
Tai Kangdi shook his hand to open the sealed spy report, and when he saw the words on it, his eyes widened in shock.
This...... This is good news!
The 20,000 men and horses of the Liangzhou border army actually broke the map and strengthened the army with 50,000 people!
This...... (To be continued.) )
