Chapter 735: Northern Expedition
Following.
The sun had just risen, and the ministers had gathered outside the main hall.
It's summer, and the sun is getting up early.
The light of the morning sun shines on the main hall, and everything is reflected in a golden splendor.
When the door of the main hall is opened, and the light shines into the main hall, it shows a bit of majestic meaning of the main hall.
The jade floor tiles, glazed tiles, and calm spring water all show the heaviness of the hall.
The ministers entered one by one, and when Lu Chensheng arrived, they just shouted Saint Bow one after another.
Lu Chensheng sat on the dragon chair, and the ministers below played one after another.
The content of the music is much the same.
Disasters have continued in various places, and officials everywhere are busy and anxious, wanting to cry without tears.
I thought that I had the opportunity to show my talents, but I didn't know that I had just taken office and encountered such a thing.
It's like embarrassing them.
From the imperial court, a lot of disaster relief funds have been successfully obtained, but if this money can be used for construction, it will be much better than now.
"Holy Lord, now that disasters are flowing in various places, and there is no sign of them being eliminated, should we carry out a sacrificial prayer?"
Yang Zhiyuan of the Ministry of Rites stood up and spoke.
He still didn't dare to say a word, and there were rumors in various places, saying that they wanted to make the saint guilty of his own edict, so that God could avoid such a disaster.
In the eyes of some people, this is clearly a loss of morality in the saints, and only then can there be such a sin!
The rest of the ministers looked at each other and nodded their heads.
In today's situation, there is indeed a little need for sacrifice, so as to calm the mouths of the people in the world.
It's a little comfort.
"Do you think there is too much money in the treasury, so you can spend it casually? The household department is now even careful about disaster relief, and there is still money for sacrifices? ”
When Lu Chensheng heard this, he replied with a cold face.
It's not that Lu Chensheng is extremely reluctant to this kind of sacrificial activities.
Sacrifices or something, sometimes it is still very effective, and the people are very important.
But this kind of sacrifice also has to be divided into occasions, and now the Xinghan Empire is not rich.
According to the data reported by the Ministry of Household Affairs yesterday, there were originally more than 8 million taels of silver, but now only more than 3 million taels of silver remain.
I'm afraid it won't be long before I enter the days of buckle ropes again.
From the day Li Daifu got the money, he saw more than eight million taels of silver.
I thought that I could finally stand up and spend as much as I wanted.
After reviewing some accounts, I found that the more than eight million taels of silver seemed to be a little insufficient.
Therefore, it has directly changed back to the appearance of careful calculation, so that at this time, there is so much silver left.
If not, I am afraid that the treasury will be empty again at this time.
Yang Zhiyuan was stunned when he heard this.
Originally, I thought that the sacrificial saints would not object to it, and in the current situation, it is indeed needed.
The Holy One can also make a statement.
But now it seems that the Holy One doesn't like this very much.
Thinking of this, Yang Zhiyuan retreated again.
And at this time, Daoist Yun Song walked out.
In fact, when they saw Daoist Yunsong outside the palace before, the ministers were all surprised.
Daoist Yunsong rarely comes to the court, although the identity of the other party is qualified to come to the court.
But Daoist Yunsong has always been cultivating in the Taoist temple, and basically does not come, for this, the saints have promised.
"Holy Lord, the minister has a book."
"Say."
Lu Chensheng looked at Yun Song and replied with a calm face.
"The ministers looked at the celestial phenomena, dredged up the geography, and found that the disaster of the Xinghan Empire was completely due to the Tartars outside the Saiwai who dug up the dragon veins of our Han dynasty, which is why the Han dynasty was so calamitous.
The minister implores the Holy Lord, send troops to the Northern Expedition! ”
Daoist Yun Song said word by word, and when the words fell, the ministers were in an uproar.
Is this weather caused by the Tartars cutting our dragon veins?
The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to question the dragon vein.
It's just that for this Northern Expedition, they are much more cautious at this moment.
Isn't it good to send troops to the Northern Expedition at this time?
They were already thinking about whether to persuade the Holy Lord this year not to use troops against the Tartars for the time being.
Last year, the Holy Lord was staring at the Tartars.
But this year, the situation is better if you don't send troops, right?
Lu Chensheng opened his eyes, and his body sat up a lot straighter at this time, "Is this true?" ”
"It's true!"
Yun Song Dao Chang shook it to the end.
"Tartars, this is self-destruction! The Ministry of Rites plans to write a notice to inform the world, the Ministry of War is preparing for the mobilization of soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and the Ministry of Households cooperates, and I want the Tartars to pay the price! ”
Without waiting for the ministers to discuss a result, Lu Chensheng directly made an order.
Then, without giving the ministers a chance to refute, Lu Chensheng got up and left.
The attendants on the side directly announced their retreat.
The ministers were all stunned, always feeling that something was wrong.
What's going on, I haven't figured out the situation yet, why did I retreat?
And, depending on the situation, send troops to the Tartars?
Don't you care about the countries around here? They're squatting on the border and eyeing them!
The ministers couldn't react a little, and after a while, they finally came to their senses.
"No! How can we send troops to the Northern Expedition at this time? ”
"What's the matter with Daoist Yunsong, he doesn't go to court on weekdays, and he just made such a thing in the court, is this to destroy the Xinghan Empire!"
"How can this be done on the Northern Expedition? This year, the weather is very cold, and who knows what it will be like when you enter the grassland? ”
The ministers were talking a lot at this moment, and many people directly pointed the finger at Daoist Yunsong.
This guy is afraid that a lot of them are in the Demagogic Saint!
Originally, the saint was very interested in the Northern Expedition, but now that the other party has given such an excuse, isn't it just right?
It's no wonder that the Holy One agreed so happily.
It's just that this Yunsong Daoist really doesn't look like a good person!
As if he hadn't heard these words, Daoist Yun Song turned around and left.
Du Rufang frowned, thinking about something.
Listening to the discussion around him, he turned around and left after thinking about it.
He seemed to have thought of something just now.
Seeing this, Liu Wensheng hurriedly followed.
asked urgently, "What's going on with the saint, how can you go on a northern expedition, this seems very irrational!" Why don't we go and see the Holy One together, and then dissuade it? In our capacity, the Holy One will think about it in the future. ”
Liu Wensheng also felt that the Northern Expedition was not a good thing at this time.
When Du Rufang heard this, he had a smile on his face, "No need, the Northern Expedition is not a bad thing." ”
