Chapter 413: Living Thin Mud
When Jia Ke heard the emperor's question, he sneered in his heart, the emperor now treats the Praetorian Guards so strictly, I am afraid that he regards this Praetorian Guard as his last straw.
But the emperor couldn't have imagined that these people Ma Mingmian were the emperor's people, but in fact, the generals inside had already taken refuge in him.
"Your Majesty, although there are still some horses in the three major battalions, but because the cavalry battalion has gone north, the defense of the capital is now a lot empty, if you send more people and horses, I am afraid that the capital will be in trouble at that time." Jia Ke spoke his mind.
And the emperor also knew the danger of doing so, although the prince Teng had been running around the border for several years. As a result, the defense of the border pass was strengthened a lot, and the Tatars were greatly hindered in their southward movement in recent years.
But the emperor knew that it was all because Jake had inflicted heavy blows on the Tatars a few years earlier. Now the Tatars are also recuperating, the past few years have passed, I think the Tatars have recovered their strength, if the defense of the capital is lax at this time, in case the Tatars break through to the capital again, how can the emperor explain to the people of the world?
The emperor was silent there, torn between a dilemma.
Liu Yu suddenly stood up and said: "Master Jia, don't worry, I don't think the Tatars will be difficult in the past two years." ”
"Why is Lord Liu so sure, is Lord Liu a roundworm in the stomach of Alslene Khan?" Jia Ke's tone of voice was very unpolite, almost pointing at Liu Yu's nose and scolding. Otherwise, how can anyone compare the Minister of Military Aircraft to a roundworm?
After listening to Jia Ke's unkind words, Liu Yu became more determined to let the three major battalions send troops south. Because as long as Jia Ke is against it, then it is his weakness.
"Master Jia doesn't have to be angry, listen to me slowly." Liu Yu said to Jia Ke calmly and with a smile on his face.
"Well, I'd like to hear what you have to say." Jia Ke wasn't actually angry, he just pretended to show them. What he was really curious about was why Liu Yu was so sure that the Tatars did not dare to go south?
Liu Yu first arched his hand to the emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty, all your lords. Now we have arranged heavy troops in Gubeikou and Gufengkou, these two places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the last breakthrough of the Tatars was also a strategy. Now the imperial court has decreed that no one is allowed to pass through these two places. It is no longer possible for the Tatars to think of tricks. ”
Liu Yu said this and looked at Jia Ke, who nodded after listening to his words. Now these passes are all Jia Ke's elite handles, and these people obey Jia Ke's orders as if they were oracles. Naturally, it is impossible to do things that are contrary to yin and yang.
Liu Yu saw that Jia Ke had nodded in agreement, so he continued: "In this way, they can only break through from Xuanfu Town and Liaodong Town. But there were soldiers stationed in both places. It's almost impossible for them to break through anytime soon. That's why I said that there is no danger in the capital. Besides, even if a few thousand people are transferred, there are 150,000 or 60,000 elite soldiers in the capital, so what can they do if they come. ”
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he looked at several other ministers of military aircraft, wanting them to speak as well. to force Jia Ke to agree to transfer troops south. Who knew that the remaining three people didn't say a word.
All three of them are now proficient. There is almost impartiality between the emperor and Jia Ke. Even Sun Yan, the newly taken over secretary of the Criminal Department, is now like this.
After listening to his words, Jia Ke sneered and said: "I think Lord Liu is a bit of a nobleman who has forgotten things, the emperor just cut the military salaries in these two places and four layers some time ago, and the soldiers can't even eat enough, do you think he will give you his life." ”
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Liu Yu was not angry, but said with a smile: "Lord Jia cares about the soldiers' rations, and he really deserves to be a general who loves soldiers like sons, if it's just like this, Lord Jia doesn't have to worry." Haven't the border gates started collecting tolls from passing merchants these days? I think this silver can make up for some of it. ”
After hearing this, Jia Ke agreed with him in his heart, but he knew the situation in Jiubian, which could only make up for some, it was simply several times over. Whether it is a soldier or a general, they all eat with their mouths full of oil, but Jia Ke can't say this to Liu Yu, and he has to complain to Jiubian, otherwise these people may not even pay the remaining 6 percent of the military salary.
"Is Lord Liu really confused or fake, do you think I'm a fool and coax me here?"
"Master Jia's words have passed, how can I mean that."
"Since Lord Liu is like this, I will make it clear that the matter at the border is your strong advocacy, and I reluctantly agreed for the sake of the overall situation of the imperial court, do you really think that collecting some tolls can make up for military salaries? In this case, how far does business have to go? How many businessmen have been in the past? ”
As soon as Liu Yu heard Jia Ke say this, he didn't have the bottom in his heart, he was actually suspicious of this matter, although the border gate could collect some taxes, but I am afraid that there would not be much, and the big head would fall into the hands of those generals, and these soldiers would be able to barely make up for it.
"Lord Jia, the Tatars are now recuperating, even if they recover a little, I am afraid they will not dare to go south from Xuanfu Town and Liaodong Town, and these two places are the troops started by Lord Jia, I think there should be no major incident, and the three major battalions are only one or two thousand men and horses, and there is nothing to do with the overall situation, why is Lord Jia so shirking, is there a ghost in his heart?"
"Lord Liu said it well, it really deserves to be the pillar of the imperial court, since this is the case, then I don't think there is any problem in filming some Praetorian Guards going south. The capital is so safe, and there are so many people in the Praetorian Guard, it is not much use to keep the capital, it is better to go south to escort grain and grass. ”
Jia Ke directly vetoed Liu Yu's proposal to send the three battalions south, and he also showed it to the emperor, otherwise he had just transferred the Xiaocai battalion, and now the three battalions were also sent south. The emperor thought he was a fool.
After the emperor heard Jia Ke say this, his face turned dark, where is the minister's tone to the emperor?
Liu Yu's face was also flushed with anger, and he said sharply: "Master Jia, what does this mean?" Don't you want to be edicted? ”
"The emperor has issued an edict, how come I, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, don't know, Liu Yu, you are falsely preaching the holy decree." Jia Ke directly pushed Liu Yu back.
Jia Ke didn't just let Liu Yu go, he turned around and bowed his hand to the emperor, and then said, "Liu Yu is so unscrupulous, he doesn't take me, the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, in his eyes, and he also falsely preaches the holy decree, and the crime is unforgivable, I ask the emperor to put him on death row immediately, and behead him after the autumn to set an example." ”
The emperor sat there and felt a sadness in his heart, why did he, the emperor, do so much? Let a courtier force him to this part.
At this time, Lao Meng Ming stood up and played a round and said, "Don't quarrel between the two adults, since you are sending troops south." Why don't you send a part of the men and horses from each of the Praetorian Guards and the three major battalions to the south together, what do you think? ”
Sun Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, immediately echoed: "What Master Meng said is reasonable, so there is no need for everyone to quarrel anymore." It's better to value harmony. ”
Liu Yu glared at him fiercely after listening to Sun Yan's words, this person is also the emperor's henchman, why is he here to help Jia Ke now?
The emperor thought about it and felt that he couldn't just let Jia Ke sway. So he opened his mouth and said directly: "What Sun Yan said is reasonable, but I don't know how to distribute it." ”
Sun Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said with a smile on his face: "The three battalions have more than 100,000 horses, so naturally they have to send more, and the Praetorian Guard is the only one that has been sent, I'm afraid it will not be good for the emperor's safety, so it's better to watch less." ”
As soon as Liu Yu heard this, he understood what Sun Yan meant, he was fair and just on the surface, and the two did not help each other. In fact, his ass is already sitting on the emperor's side.
The emperor finally had a smile on his face, and he asked Tian Ye next to him, "Tian Aiqing, do you think it's appropriate to take how many people to the south?" Let's make up the numbers. Don't panic when you go. ”
Tian Ye stood up and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, this time you will bring at least eight thousand people with you when you go south. These centaurs are not mainly escorts for grain and grass. They also had the task of quelling the rebellion if necessary. ”
Tian Ye paused, a little hesitant, not knowing whether to say the next words or not.
The emperor saw his embarrassment, "You say, it's all our own people here, what are you afraid of?" After saying this, he glanced at Jia Ke intentionally or unintentionally.
Tian Ye said at this time: "Wei Chen is afraid that those officials under him will collude with the army and embezzle these grains and grass in various names. With this army in the hands of the ministers, they can also be suppressed when the time comes. ”
"Tian Aiqing is really thoughtful, I think it's okay, just draw a thousand people from the Praetorian Guard, and the rest of the men and horses will be drawn from the three major battalions."
When the emperor said this, he looked at Jia Ke again, "Jia Aiqing's remaining men and horses, you will transfer them from the three major battalions yourself." What do you think? ”
Jia Ke's face was expressionless, feeling that the matter was almost over, and he couldn't make any more trouble, and to do this, let them believe that the Praetorian Guard had been controlled by the emperor, which would be the best result, so that the emperor could pin all his hopes on the Praetorian Guard, and there would be less trouble in the future.
So Jia Ke raised his head and glanced at Liu Yu deeply, then bowed his head and said, "Minister, obey the emperor's orders." Seven thousand men and horses will be allocated and go south with Lord Tian. ”
When the emperor saw Jia Ke agree, he smiled, "Jia Aiqing takes care of the overall situation, and she is really a model in the court." ”
"Don't dare to be the emperor's praise, this is all the duty of Weichen." Jia Ke also replied to the emperor with a smile.
But Jia Ke then said: "The food and grass for this army marching is a big deal, and the 2 million loads of grain are for the disaster victims, so don't the marching soldiers eat food?" ”
When the emperor heard this, he knew that Jia Ke wanted to excuse himself, so he hurriedly said: "20,000 deniers of grain and grass are being allocated, which can be regarded as being used by these 8,000 people on the road, what do you think of Jia Aiqing?" ”
Jia Ke saw that the emperor's iron rooster had allocated another 20,000 eggs of grain and grass, which was rare, so he didn't say anything else, and said: "Your Majesty is famous, and the ministers obey the order." ”
The two of them were smiling and talking, like a gentleman and a minister.
After the emperor finished talking to Jia Ke, he directly issued an order: "Xia Shouzhong, draft an order." ”
Xia Shouzhong took a blank holy decree from the emperor's imperial case, spread it on the small desk, and then dipped it in ink and waited for the emperor to speak.
"Order the Minister of Military Aircraft, Zuodu Yushi Tianye as the Minister of Qincha, go south to the Lianghuai region to send the victims, Yuantong officials listen to their dispatch, if there is no respect for the officials below the third grade, the first cut and then the play, the officials above the third grade are temporarily removed from their posts and wait for the imperial court to deal with them."
After the emperor finished speaking, Xia Shouzhong had already finished writing. Then Xia Shouzhong came to the emperor with the holy decree and asked him to look at it.
