Chapter Seventy-One: The Temple Battle

King Zhao's father and son were both actionists, and after the discussion stopped, they immediately began to lay out the matter.

After a few days, after the court meeting was over, the eunuch with the palm print got the emperor's eye prompt and shouted: "Rank the ministers, if you have something to do, you will play early, and you will retreat from the court if you have nothing to do." ”

In other words, the Jin dynasty discussion system was originally extremely simple, still retaining the nomadic style of deliberation, and small matters were decided by each ministry on their own, and only in case of major events were the emperor summoned the princes and ministers to discuss together.

After Yan Jing became the emperor, he liked literary affairs and loved to learn the Han system, so he copied a set of court discussion system of the Song Dynasty.

The ministers of the King of Jin were not suitable at the beginning, and they were absent from work for three days.

Wanyan Jinghao was not angry, and he was resigned to this kind of behavior that violated the yang and the yin.

But half a year later, these princes and ministers all came to the court honestly.

What do you say?

Because the major events of the DPRK and China were all decided in the DPRK meeting.

The princes and ministers who often took leave of absence from work, especially those who were originally the heads of various departments, seemed to have lost their authority and became decorations.

After Yan Jing ascended the throne, because he was relatively weak and the emperor's authority was not obvious, most of the power was divided among the older princes and ministers, and some of the older princes even dared to call him by his name in private.

It wasn't until Yan Jing used such a hand that he overcame the rigid with softness, and gently and skillfully collected the imperial power into his hands, but he also made these princes and ministers have nothing to say.

Who asked you to take time off! Who made you sick!

The emperor did not deprive you of your power, but you did not come to the court yourself. Uncle who has been sick for two days in three days, the emperor has not removed you from your post and replaced someone else, which is already extremely merciful.

After Yan Jing passed this recruitment, he slightly changed the system of changing the court, from one day to three days, and now everyone was happy.

On weekdays, as soon as the eunuch shouted like this, all the princes and ministers retreated in turn, and on this day, King Zhao Wanyan Honglie came out and said: "The minister has something to do, and he also asks the privy deputy envoy and the eunuch to stay temporarily." ”

After Yan Jing dispersed according to his words, he summoned a few people to the south study to discuss matters.

Wanyan Honglie reported the situation in Mongolia to Wanyan Jing, suggesting that the original strategy should not be changed, but the resources supporting the Zamuhe tribe would be transferred to Wang Han's Kereh tribe.

Wan Yanjing asked: "With such an example, why do you need to discuss it again, do you have to increase the money and food for the weapons given by this Kereh Ministry?" ”

As he spoke, Wan Yanjing frowned slightly.

Over the years, the national strength of the Jin Kingdom has weakened, and the treasury is not abundant, Wanyan Honglie naturally knows what the emperor means, and he is busy saying: "Back to my father's words, the meaning of the sons and daughters is not to give more weapons, money and food to the Kereh Department. There are clouds among the people, and the gifts given to these grassland barbarians over the years have been exhausted, and the number must be reduced. ”

After Yan Jing sighed, he said: "Hong Lie's words are reasonable, if you don't use so much, you can do it yourself." He yawned.

Wanyan Honglie knew that his father's health was not as good as before in the past few years, and he had to take a nap every time he went to court, so he didn't yawn again, but signaled himself to finish his words quickly.

Wanyan Honglie glanced at the privy deputy envoy Li Xi'er and the eunuch Wanyanshu on his side, and then said to Wanyan Jing: "Father Qi, the weapons, grain and grass sent to the grassland in previous years are many unusable, and the sons want to be happy that the amount of weapons, money and food given is too much, and now the number of required is reduced, and I hope that the two adults will allocate some good weapons and new food." ”

Li Xi'er is the eldest brother of the emperor's favorite concubine Li Shi'er, occupying the emperor's favor of her sister, and sitting in the position of privy deputy envoy, in charge of the ordnance superintendent. This person is both arrogant and greedy, no matter who is in the court, even if it is a prince like Wanyan Honglie, if he wants to receive weapons from the ordnance supervisor, he will pluck the feathers.

That Wanyan Shu's son died in the hands of Wanyan Honglie, and he wanted to pull the great sect to make the decision for him. cried in front of the palace to no avail, but relying on the big tree of Wanyan Yongji, he played a pitiful card for him, and actually found a position as a eunuch in Wanyan Jing.

The eunuch is the agency in charge of the big gold and money valley, and it is actually a first-class fat position. In the past few years, Wanyanshu has made countless money and food, and the hatred of losing a child has long been forgotten. After all, he has more than this one son, and His Royal Highness King Zhao can't be moved by himself no matter what.

Wanyan Shushu was put under the command of Wanyan Yongji, so he naturally obeyed the orders of Lord Luwang, and he was disgusted with Yan Honglie when he seized the opportunity.

After hearing Yan Honglie say this, the two of them sang bitterly, one said how difficult the maintenance of this weapon was, and the other said that the years had been bad in the past few years, and the eunuchs of the Taifu could not make ends meet.

In short, it is all kinds of suffering, and Yan Jing yawns again and again after listening to it.

Wan Yan Jing waved his hand impatiently, stopped the two of them from singing, turned to Wan Yan Honglie and said, "Since the emperor proposed to reduce the gift, how much more?" ”

Wanyan Honglie said: "Equip 10,000 people!" ”

In the past few years, the weapons, grain and grass given to Zamuhe were arranged according to the standard of 30,000 people, and now Wan Yan Honglie took the initiative to reduce expenses, which was less than half, which made Wan Yan Jing feel a lot more relaxed.

The filth between Wanyan Shu and Wanyan Honglie, Wanyan Jing actually knows in his heart, and he has also heard a lot about Li Xier's personality. Let the two of them go on again, and it will be endless, Wan Yan Jing sat up straight, and said solemnly: "Two Aiqing, since the materials required by King Zhao are only one-third of the past, you two will do what King Zhao wants, don't say more!" After saying that, he waved his hand and asked a few people to step back and not mention it.

The three of them retired.

Wanyan Honglie thought that he had taken the initiative to make a big step, and there was the emperor's golden mouth, so it must be not a big problem, but when he sent his men to receive weapons, money and food, he found that these two people still took some defective products and old grain to deal with.

Wanyan Honglie was furious, and wanted to enter the palace to file a complaint.

In fact, according to Yan Honglie's past temperament, where would he go to complain, saying that he could not directly lead the troops to clean up the two of them and bring the supplies back. It's just that in the past few years, he has been suppressed by Wanyan Hongyan and Wanyan Yongji, and His Royal Highness King Zhao has been a lot more cautious.

Wan Yan Kang happened to be on the side, and hurriedly stopped Wan Yan Honglie and said: "Father doesn't need to go to the palace anymore, and let the sons and daughters share their worries for their father!" ”

Wanyan Honglie readily agreed.

Wan Yankang ordered dozens of generals and guards in the house, wore a brocade robe, rode a small white dragon, stepped on the treasure carving bow, held a bright silver spear, and went to a grain depot in Taifu Prison with murderous spirit.

After finishing the Yanshu ascending to the top, he falsified the account books to increase the loss and embezzled an unknown amount of food. This guy was greedy for some money and grain, but it was not enough, and he colluded with several large grain merchants to switch the old grain in the hands of the grain merchants with the new grain in the warehouse after the autumn harvest every year, and made a profit from the price difference, and made a lot of money.

The grain depots belonging to the eunuchs of the Taifu were set up in four places in the central capital, one in the east, one in the south, one in the south, one in the south. Although Wanyanshu played the trick of exchanging new grain for old grain, after all, he didn't dare to do it too much, because he put all the old grain in the west and north warehouses on weekdays, and the remaining new grain in the east and south two grain depots. If one of his own people goes to receive grain and grass, he takes him to the east and south storehouses, and if he is not against him, he takes him to the west and north.

Previously, Wanyan Honglie sent people to receive grain and grass, and Wanyan Shu asked his subordinates to take them to the north warehouse to receive grain, and the generals sent by Wanyan Honglie also understood these roads, so they simply did not receive a grain of rice, and directly reported to His Royal Highness King Zhao.

After Yan Kang went, he ran directly to the grain depot in the south of the city, and he had already arrived at the door of the grain depot in a short time.

The gate of the grain depot has always been heavily guarded. If this guard had been loyal to his duty, he should have realized that Yan Kang was menacing, and he should have immediately set up a position to prepare to meet the enemy.

There is a way that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked. Master Yan Shu, the eunuch of Taifu, is a corrupt and perverted man, and the subordinates he uses can have some ability, more of them are flatterers, and less are upright and capable people.

The chief official of this grain depot in the south of the city is surnamed Liang, named Sen, and at this time, when the sun is three poles, he has just gotten up from Gentle Township, and Shi Shiran rushed to work. He did not stand guard outside the grain depot, but as soon as he arrived here, he went into the grain depot and lay down in a leisure chair, ready to sleep.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves, but he didn't care at all, turned around and was about to continue sleeping, when he suddenly heard a loud drink.

"Where is the chief officer?"

Liang Sen was taken aback, and hurriedly ran out of the free chair.

Wan Yankang looked at the chief officer of the grain depot who rushed out of the grain depot, looking disheveled and sleepy-eyed, and he was angry, and his heart said that if such officials were incompetent and greedy, the ancestors would fill the Dajin court, and they would not die.

drove the horse forward, the silver gun swiped, stopped an inch in front of Liang Sen, and Wan Yankang asked, "Are you the chief officer of this grain depot?" ”

At this moment, Liang Sen almost fart, and said in a panic: "The villain, the villain...... yes"

Wan Yankang took out the palace token and shook it, and said coldly: "I am ordered to receive 200,000 stones, and you will handle it immediately!" ”

In this grain depot in the south of the city, there are only one million stones of grain in total, and 200,000 stones will be released at once, which is not the right of a grain depot chief. Although Liang Sen was frightened, after all, he had not lost his soul, and said: "This adult, so much grain and grass, the villain has no right to call the shots!" ”

"Hurry up and call someone who can call the shots!"

"Yes, yes, the villain will go and invite the eunuch." Liang Sen was so busy that he wanted to slip away and leave this place of right and wrong.

After Yan Kang's silver gun was stretched, he blocked his way and said, "You stay here and send someone to invite him!" ”

Liang Sen couldn't, so he had to call a clever little flag officer and fly to the rescue.
