Qianqing Palace is still the Qianqing Palace, although the owner of this palace has been away for seven months, but it is still clean and spotless inside and out, the wide and comfortable imperial couch, when Zhu Yunwen lies down, there are still three points of warmth.

Of course, this is not because someone dares to stay overnight on the dragon bed, but because there is a special person who is responsible for exposing the bedding every day and keeping it tidy.

"Your Majesty, hurry up and change your clothes, the hundred officials are still waiting outside the noon gate."

Xu is a little tired from riding a horse, Zhu Yunwen felt that his head was sinking to death, and he didn't want to get up when he said anything, so he waved his hand.

"Let them disperse, I don't need their singing praises, just call the cabinet, the fourth uncle, and Xu Huizu to wait in the Jinshen Palace, and let the Shangshan Bureau cook some meals for them and send them, and tell them that I want to sleep for a while."

In the end, the words were already inaudible, and Shuangxi tried to put it close to his ears, but all he heard was a slight snoring.

In the past few months, although the emperor has not been on the battlefield, the consumption of this energy is by no means much less than that of the front-line generals.

Tiptoeing out of the warm pavilion, Shuangxi greeted left and right: "Long live to bed, report to our house in advance, don't be disturbed." ”

The eunuchs and palace maids on the left and right responded to their orders, and Shuangxi called a small eunuch to ask him to go to the Shangshan Bureau to arrange a lunch, and then raised his legs and walked in the direction of the noon gate.

If it was an ordinary message, he could find a slave to run errands, but this time he summoned the ministers, clan relatives and Wuxun at one time, and Shuangxi had to go on a trip in person, so as to show that the emperor attached importance to them.

From the Qianqing Palace to the noon gate, Shuangxi walked slowly, and it took two quarters of an hour to walk, and hundreds of officials outside the noon gate were already standing crookedly.

"Passing on Your Majesty's message, the matter of the hundred officials returning to the house to rest and face the Holy Hajj congratulatory table has been canceled."

Shuangxi's voice was sharp, but the officials in the entire square could hear it clearly, and everyone was very happy for a while.

Since the early hours of the morning, I got up and set off, and now noon is almost over, who is not beaten with iron, where to eat, it is rare that the emperor is not old, and he doesn't like the process of singing praises of virtue, but he has suffered a lot.

At that moment, many people thanked them and left, only a few members of the cabinet did not move, they knew in their hearts that the emperor was definitely going to summon them.

Sure enough, Shuangxi saluted several people.

"King Yan, Grandpa Guo and the four elders, Your Majesty invites you to wait in the palace, and the Shangshan Bureau has arranged food."

Several people thanked them, followed Shuangxi into the palace and walked to the Jinshen Palace, Shuangxi naturally went to the Qianqing Palace to guard Zhu Yunwen, leaving a few people around a table to eat and chat.

"After seven months of fighting, shouldn't you take a break for a while?"

The first to speak was Yu Xin, who was in charge of finance, but he was embarrassed with one mouth: "More than 400,000 troops were moved in the southwest, and Taiwan and Ryukyu were fought in the southeast, in order to supply 80,000 sailors, the coastal provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang were all hollowed out, and the cabinet discussed with the Fifth Military Government, and the Fifth Military Government pushed it to the General Staff Office, and the General Staff Office said that King Yan was not there, and they did not dare to report to the emperor. ”

I can't help but be angry with Yu Xin, this emperor and the military wear a pair of pants, and they are excited to fight one by one, their cabinet follows behind to wipe their butts, and they win the battle The credit of their fart, after a long time, the country's finances are in deficit, and they will have to find trouble with them when the time comes, what is this called?

This year, the commercial tax has not been confiscated, and everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and they don't know how much silver can go into the treasury, but the country's financial deficit has been pulled to more than 12 million taels.

Not to mention looking at the emperor's posture, if you really want to learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then should you go on the Northern Expedition next year? Yu Xin's attitude is very resolute. If the military does not understand the bottom line, he, the cabinet assistant who is mainly in charge of finance and domestic construction, really cannot do it.

Zhu Di held the rice bowl and grilled the rice, eating attentively, as if he hadn't heard it at all, and threw all the pots to Xu Huizu.

It was Xu Huizu who stayed in Nanjing, and he didn't answer the cabinet's words, who knows how much salary has been paid in the past few months and the logistics department asked the cabinet how much military spending it wanted.

Gotcha, the old man again!

Xu Huizu smiled bitterly in his heart, when it came to the issue of military spending, it seemed that the cabinet recognized him, the Duke of Wei, is there any mistake, the establishment of the logistics department belongs to the General Staff Office, and the expenditure slip for military expenditure is also approved by Ouchi Zhu, what does it matter to him Xu Huizu?

"Isn't this all over?"

Xu Huizu himself had no confidence in speaking: "The first batch of triumphant troops on the Taiwan side have already turned back, and it is estimated that Quanzhou Port, which has just arrived in mid-September, will return to Nanjing in a few days. ”

"Booty?"

Yu Xin raised his eyebrows: "There are only 20,000 or 30,000 indigenous people on the whole island of Taiwan, how many taels of silver can they be worth if they are all sold?" The three islands of the Ryukyus are even smaller and pitiful, for the thousands of pirates hiding there, Xue Ke is really powerful, and he has been fighting for several days! Yu Hengsi and the Firearms Bureau are looking for Xia Yuanji, who is looking for a list, do they have such a war? ”

"Why should Yu Ge Lao be so out of shape."

This time, Yang Shiqi stopped his chopsticks: "How to fight, how to fight is the matter of the command of the front-line generals, we are ministers, and it is within our duty not to drag the front-line army back." ”

"I don't care."

Yu Xin played a scoundrel: "Next year's financial expenditure table, Xia Yuanji has found the old man several times, today King Yan and Wei Guogong are here, you must give me an accurate answer, in addition to the fixed military expenses, is it possible for the imperial court to fight next year?" Otherwise, in a year, my household department has repeatedly demolished the east wall and repaired the west wall, and the place will be in a mess. ”

"I can't fight anymore."

After eating three bowls of rice in a row, Zhu Di finally filled his stomach, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and gave an accurate answer.

"Your Majesty personally told Gu that there will be no war next year."

Daming is going to rest for two years, Hongwu Dynasty's family foundation can not be used to fight, Zhu Yunwen is not a reckless character, after the southwest survey, the later wars are done by those countries in South Asia, what Daming wants to do is to slow down and engage in the economy, in addition to opening the sea and trade, it is to build a road to the southwest, so as to facilitate the abduction of laborers to lay the foundation for the Ming Dynasty.

After getting an accurate answer, Yu Xin gave up and bowed his head to eat.

"Now that we're done talking about the military, shouldn't we also talk about local affairs?"

The more you think about it, the more angry you get, and the more you take a step back, the more you lose.

Xu Huizu is not a loser, and when he saw Yu Xinyan's demise, he got into trouble.

"The Fifth Military Government is responsible for the military and health posts of the whole country, and all parts of the country are very peaceful, but Guizhou and Liangguang are in a mess, and the reason for this is that the local chief officials are not in good governance, is there a problem with the selection of materials in your cabinet? The money for the pension is also pushed back by the local government, which makes the local military and political chiefs resentful of each other, shouldn't the cabinet give an explanation to the Fifth Military Government? ”

There was a moment of silence in the temple.

In recent years, in the three provinces of Guizhou and Liangguang, all conflicts and disputes between the local people and the local military guards were commonplace, and the people's customs were fierce and disobedient to the king, and there were occasional armed brawls, and casualties were inevitable, and if a few people died, they would not go to the emperor, and the Fifth Military Government would not find trouble with the cabinet, but it did not mean that the Fifth Military Government had received fewer such reports.

It's just that the matter is too small, there is no need to go online, but some time ago, this didn't just catch up with Guizhou and stepped on the thunder, didn't it, the civil and military officials were all edicted by the emperor to die, and Jing Qing of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had just gone down to investigate the case, and now the five military mansions are looking for the emperor to complain again, isn't that just adding fuel to the fire?

"The matter of the impeachment of the six departments and the provincial officials has always been connected with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the local chief officials are not in a good position, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not report it at the first time, and the cabinet does not know, and it is inevitable that there will be delays."

Yang Shiqi coughed lightly, seemingly shirking the responsibility for the cabinet, but he directly aimed the finger at Chen Ying, the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and provoked Xu Huizu to go to the emperor to complain, which caused Violent Zhao to turn his head slightly.

"These things are not handled well in the local area, the old man is the head of the cabinet and should be the main responsibility, since Wei Guogong has grievances, the old man will go to His Majesty to ask for guilt."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and recuperated: "It's all for the emperor and for the court, where does it need to be divided so carefully, the procuratorate can't find it clearly, and the local government can't directly hand over the recital to the center?" Can't the Department of Communications collect it for the Metropolitan Procuratorate? National affairs are complicated, and we should all work together. ”

Yang Shiqi was in charge of the Metropolitan Inspectorate and Dali Temple, but Chen Ying, the left capital of the Partial Metropolitan Inspectorate, was a violent person.

Storm Zhao is the first assistant of the cabinet, in charge of the overall situation, and the department directly under him is the Department of General Administration, but Hu Sizong, who is the left general government, is Yang Shiqi's fellow countryman. Storm Zhao and Yang Shiqi don't wear a pair of pants at all.

When waiting for the car in the morning, Tyrant Zhao had already revealed his idea of giving a speech, that is, to Yang Shiqi, and the last sentence was cherished, just to tell Yang Shiqi that young people should not be too arrogant.

But at present, it seems that this Yang Shiqi has the idea of killing them all, and he takes political power too seriously.

Several people stopped chopsticks, removed the banquet left and right, and served tea, and the hall was completely quiet.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but they didn't bother to fight any more words, quietly waiting for Zhu Yunwen's arrival.
