Chapter 1181 Begging for the Thief to Recover the Land (For You Only Wish to Be Persistent and Updated)
Dalong Kyoshi.
The storm was fierce, and its power was much greater than that of Yingzhou, and in just half a day, there was already water in the city, enough to flood the feet.
The autumn flood has arrived.
The autumn rains continue for March, but it's not just talk.
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
A rider didn't even play an umbrella and galloped towards the palace against the storm, the clothes on his body had already been wet by the rain and clinged to his body tightly, and the person who came did not care about the rain that was slapped head-on, and he held the bamboo tube in his arms tightly and did not dare to let go.
The Praetorian Guards guarding the gates of the Imperial Palace stood outside the gates in their robes, protecting the safety of the Imperial Palace.
Hearing the sound of the galloping horses' hooves, they all changed color, drew their swords from their waists and waited for them.
"Stop coming, report your name! The imperial city has been sealed, dismount immediately! ”
"Song Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, expedited documents for eight hundred miles in northern Xinjiang, release it quickly!"
"Song Shangshu?"
"Eight hundred miles of expedited paperwork, release it quickly!"
"Song Shangshu, the imperial city has been sealed, without His Majesty's command, I dare not open the city gate, please forgive Lord Song."
"Appeal ........"
Song Yu directly tightened the reins of the horse, the horse's hooves were raised high and made a neighing sound, and Song Yu pulled the reins on the horse to stabilize his body, showing his superb horsemanship.
As said at the beginning, Dalong has never been an absolute civilian general.
All of them are the existence of the state that can be determined by the upper horse and the lower country can be governed.
It's just that civilian officials are slightly inferior to military generals.
Song Yu immediately turned over and dismounted, holding the bamboo tube in his arms and anxiously looking at the generals guarding the city gate: "General Ping, the northern Xinjiang is in an emergency, and the urgent documents related to the ten thousand Buhai of Wuguo Gong and the 300,000 troops of the Northern Expedition must not be delayed at all, immediately open the city gate and let the official enter the palace to face the saint!" ”
General Ping's face turned stunned: "What, the documents of the Northern Expedition Army?" ”
"That's right, open the city gates!"
"Yes, brothers, quickly open the city gate and let Lord Song enter the palace."
"General Ping, thank you, if Your Majesty blames all the guilt and has Ben Shangshu to bear the blame, delaying the military aircraft major event, this official will not be enough to cut off even if he has 10,000 heads."
"Lord Song, the military plane is not to be underestimated, let's go in!"
"Okay, this Shangshu won't talk nonsense, I'll go to the palace first, you send the brothers to scatter around, to the remaining five Shangshu, left and right Zaifu, twelve in the Beijing General's Mansion to make a announcement, let them come to the city gate to wait, once they receive His Majesty's will, they will immediately enter the palace to meet them."
"I know!"
Song Yu no longer hesitated, and immediately turned over and galloped towards the palace.
After half a cup of tea, the chief steward galloped towards Li Zheng and the queen's bedroom, directly ignoring the palace maid who was keeping vigil and stopped in front of the screen outside the bed: "Your Majesty, eight hundred miles from the north is urgent!" ”
Li Zheng, who was sleeping soundly, sat up suddenly, and his deep eyes revealed a terrifying light.
Queen Nangong Meng was naturally awakened by Li Zheng's movements, and looked at Li Zheng in confusion with her bare delicate body covered by brocade: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”
Li Zheng raised his hand to signal the queen to silence, and turned his head to look at the screen: "Old Zhou, what's wrong with it again?" ”
"Lord Song of the Ministry of War rode into the palace on horseback, and the northern Xinjiang was in an emergency for eight hundred miles!"
"Eight hundred miles?"
"Yes!"
Li Zheng hurriedly walked down to the bed, put on his shoes, grabbed the dragon robe on the hanger, and put it on his body: "Spread the decree, the remaining five Shangshu, the left and right Zaifu, and the twelve generals will enter the palace immediately to meet them, and I will wait for them in the imperial study!" ”
"Yes!"
"Your Majesty, the concubine will serve you to change your clothes!"
The queen tightened the underwear on her body and wanted to serve Li Zheng as a concubine wearing a dragon robe, Li Zheng shook his head directly: "No need, eight hundred miles of urgency is a hundred thousand urgent things, you can't delay for a moment, I wear it while walking, you can rest first!" ”
"The concubine knows!"
Li Zheng took his clothes and walked towards the door: "Fuhai, immediately let Song Aiqing go to the imperial study to wait, I will arrive later, and then go to inform the prince to enter the palace to meet him!" ”
"Yes!"
Half a pillar of incense, Li Zheng stepped into the brightly lit imperial study.
"Old minister Song Yu see ......."
"Excuse me!"
Li Zheng looked at Song Yu, who was soaked, sloppy, and shivering with cold, but still holding the bamboo tube, and beckoned to the eunuch on the side: "You, go find a clean flat coat for Song Aiqing to change into, and make a charcoal basin for Song Aiqing to warm up and bake!" ”
"Comply with ......"
"Your Majesty, how dare the old minister wear His Majesty's clothes, if Xia Yushi knows about it.........."
"Oh, Song Aiqing, the current major event should be a small section, you are shivering in wet clothes, and slurred speech is the major event that delays the military aircraft, don't say more, my clothes are just a piece of clothing, it doesn't mean anything."
"Well, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Tea Kung Fu Song Yu sat on the chair next to him wearing the clothes of Li Zheng's micro clothes, Li Zheng was already sitting on the dragon chair with a piece of paper in his hand and watching the lights carefully.
After a while, Li Zheng's face turned black and slapped the rice paper on the table: "The Northern Expedition is about to come to an end, but the grain and grass have problems because of the autumn rain, and the sky is really blind." ”
"Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of stone grain and grass have been delayed for a long time on the way because of the continuous autumn rain, and the grain and grass on the side of Wuguo Gong will be exhausted immediately, if it is not replenished in time, the 300,000 troops of the Northern Expedition will be ........"
"Is it too late to mobilize grain and grass from elsewhere?"
"More than 120 large and small state capitals north of the capital have all entered the flood season, all of which are continuous autumn rains, and the official roads leading to the north are still muddy and difficult to travel, not to mention other roads!"
"Especially whether the rest of the state capitals have grain and grass ministers, there is no way to know, this depends on the meaning of the temporary household department Shangshu Chang Shouzhang."
Li Zheng's face was cloudy: "A few days or even ten days at night is not a problem, the old man must have a way to deal with it, but if the grain and grass sprout on the road because of the autumn rain, it will really be a lack of skills!" ”
"Old minister Wei Yong, Tong Sansi, Du Chenghao .........."
"Ladies and gentlemen, take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I received an urgent ........... for 800 miles from northern Xinjiang What can you do? ”
Li Zheng explained the matter concisely and clearly, and everyone present except Song Yu was worried.
Li Zheng looked directly at Chang Shouzhang on the side: "Chang Aiqing, you are now temporarily acting as the secretary of the household department, and you are in charge of the affairs of the world's treasury. ”
"Your Majesty, the autumn tax has been collected, and it is all on the road, and the rest of the treasury is only surplus grain, and there is no grain to adjust. Moreover, the tax revenues that are now being transported to the national treasury have been delayed by the autumn rains, and they are everywhere in the state capitals, and it is not known where they have arrived at the moment, and it will take two months to notify them if they want to mobilize them on the spot. ”
"For two months, the daylilies have been cold."
Everyone was even more embarrassed, big and small things were crowded together, and the heavens were not beautiful.
Li Zheng wandered around the imperial study with his hands behind his back, and after a while, Li Zheng sat on the dragon chair helplessly.
"Funded by the state treasury, grain and grass are purchased from the treasury of the wealthy gentry in various state capitals in northern Xinjiang and transported to the old prince, no matter how expensive it is, it must be bought to ensure that the grain and grass of the northern expedition army are sufficient."
"Your Majesty, there is no extra silver in the treasury, and if the autumn tax is not enough, where can you ask the ministers to get silver to buy grain?"
Li Zhengyi glared at Chang Shouzhang angrily: "This is the matter of your household secretary, you are in charge of the world's wealth and grain, but you asked me what to do, what is the use of me asking you to be the household secretary." Jiang Aiqing wouldn't have said that to him, I didn't have any money to build a palace and kill him, but when he said that he had gritted his teeth in the Northern Expedition, he could also cut out grain and grass for me. ”
"He is the head of the household, and you are also the head of the household, he can have to do it!"
"Your Majesty, during Lord Jiang's tenure, the treasury was full, and now the treasury is in good shape, and you can't get any money even if you kill the old ministers!"
"There is silver! And three million taels of silver! ”
Du Chenghao, the secretary of the ministry, suddenly opened his mouth and said a word.
Li Zheng's eyes lit up and he turned his head to look: "Du Aiqing, where is there still three million taels of silver?" ”
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry still have three million taels of silver!"
Chang Shouzhang's face was stunned, and he hurriedly stood up and looked at Du Chenghao: "Lord Du, that is the silver for His Majesty to build a mausoleum, how can it be moved?" ”
"The imperial tomb is related to the national system, and once it is used, it will be against the ancestral ....... Oh......"
Li Zheng looked angrily at Chang Shouzhang, who was kicked to the ground by himself: "Disobey your mother, you don't even have one-tenth of Jiang Aiqing's ability." ”
"Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are hungry and waiting for food and grass on the frontier, and you still care about the rules?"
"If it is not repaired, the imperial tomb will stop work immediately, and all the silver will be purchased and transported to northern Xinjiang."
"Officials!"
"The old minister is here!"
"Dismiss Chang Shouzhang and transfer Jiang Aiqing back from Youzhou and Tongzhou, the household department can't leave him, I'm wrong, I'm wrong!"
"The old minister obeys!"
"Bingbu!"
"The old minister is here!"
"During Jiang Aiqing's return to the court, you and Miao Ji Miao Aiqing will jointly serve in the household department."
"After a hundred years, I will expose the corpses in the wilderness, and I can't let hundreds of thousands of soldiers regain the lost land with an empty stomach, and I can't let the subjects of the world point at me and scold the unscrupulous king."
"Do your best to get the thief back to the land!"
