The emperor took Xia Shouzhong's hand, and even looked at it carefully, and found that there was nothing wrong. Then he said to Xia Shouzhong: "Use the seal." ”

Xia Shouzhong spread the holy decree on the emperor's imperial case, and then took out a jade seal from a mahogany box next to him. He stood in the ink, and stood on the holy decree.

When the emperor saw that Xia Shouzhong had finished doing it, he said to Tian Ye, the imperial historian of the left capital below: "The holy decree has been written, Tian Aiqing, you can take it." ”

After the emperor said this, Xia Shouzhong held it in his hand, and even came to the left capital Yushi Tianye and raised the holy decree high.

Zuodu Yushi Tianye fell to the ground on his knees and took the holy decree. Only then did he dare to stand up.

Next, the emperor advised: "Tian Aiqing, you have a big stake this time. You must be careful not to spoil big things. ”

Tian Ye hurriedly replied: "Once the minister goes this time, he will definitely be loyal to his duties and will never live up to the emperor's trust." ”

The Emperor nodded, then waved his hand to let the five of them go down. The five ministers of military aircraft sat together and knelt down again, and walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion.

As soon as Liu Yu came out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, he said to Jia Ke: "Lord Jia, now that Lord Tian's matter is urgent, Lord Jia hurry up and prepare people, otherwise it will not be good to delay the time." ”

Jia Ke looked at Liu Yu in front of him and was annoyed, this Liu Yu flew around in front of him like a fly, constantly disgusting himself.

"Lord Liu, please rest assured, I still know the priorities of the matter, and tomorrow these seven thousand men will definitely be ready to go." Jia Ke said expressionlessly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from Master Jia." Liu Yu felt that he had won a while today, and his tone was a little excited. If it goes on like this, Jia Ke's troops in the capital will soon be completely hoisted, and then it will be the time to do something to this powerful minister who has no king. I was a little elated when I thought of this.

Jia Ke looked at his excited look, and he didn't get angry, "Lord Liu, I advise you to still have some self-control, don't be happy and sad." Don't take me Jia Ke for a fool. ”

"And there is a limit to people's patience, Lord Liu should take care of himself, otherwise if he accidentally falls off the horse, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed."

Jia Ke's words are already a naked threat, although today's situation is according to Jia Ke's expectations, and the emperor is more and more convinced that the Praetorian Guard is his reliable guarantee, but today compared to them, Jia Ke is also angry, and if he doesn't say it now, I'm afraid he will be uncomfortable in his heart.

After Jia Ke said this, he went out of the Heart Cultivation Hall directly, and did not return to the military aircraft, and left the palace gate directly.

After Liu Yu heard Jia Ke's words, he was shocked. He knew that he had really annoyed Jia Ke this time, he had been targeting Jia Ke everywhere these days, but he didn't expect that Jia Ke was still a teenager, in case he started a fire, it would be troublesome to ignore it. It seems that in the next period of time, we must persuade the emperor not to continue to do anything to Jia Ke, and to be patient for a while.

And at this time, Tian Ye, who was walking at the end, saw the two of them like this, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, it was a hard job on the surface for him to go south, who knew that it was not Sai Weng who lost his horse, and he knew that it was not a blessing.

These two factions are fighting fiercely now, and in Tian Ye's opinion, the result is about to come out, because these two factions are no longer patient. I went to disaster relief by myself, and when I came back, the results had already been achieved. I happen to be a fisherman, and I can't offend both sides.

At this time, Lao Meng Ming seemed to be in a daze, but in fact, he was now analyzing the powerful relationship like lightning in his heart. He now knew that he had reached the point of making a final decision, and he was afraid that neither side would ever see each other again.

Lao Meng Ming has been upright all his life, but after becoming the Minister of Military Aircraft during this time, he became sleek, just because he didn't taste power at that time, so he was able to judge fairly.

But now that Meng Ming has tasted the honey of power, where is it so easy to let go, so he has lost his normal heart, and he has completely lost his original appearance, and now he is only thinking about how to maintain his power.

And Sun Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, still has a gentle smile on his face, as if he is harmless to humans and animals, but who knows that he is the dagger hidden behind the scenes, just waiting to stab that fatal blow at the critical moment.

Jia Ke left Miyagi and went directly to the infantry commander Yamen. Today's incident sounded the alarm bell for him, the emperor was thinking about weakening his power all the time, and if he continued to endure it, he would be slowly killed by the emperor like a boiled frog in warm water.

Jia Ke has now made up his mind and will not wait any longer. This time, he was going to find Fan Kang and ask him to give him advice and let himself grasp the power of the imperial court as soon as possible.

As for the kindness of the emperor, in front of his own life and the fate of his family, it is not worth mentioning at all.

After his own success, at most, let the Emperor Taishang have a good death, which can be regarded as repaying him, as for the rest, I am afraid that he can't give it, he doesn't want it.

By the time Jia Ke arrived at the Yamen, the commander of the infantry, Fan Kang had already finished handling today's official business, and was drinking tea and tasting refreshments there.

Fan Kang was also shocked when he saw Jia Ke coming in, only to see Jia Ke's face full of anger, and his eyes were cold, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat.

"Lord, what's wrong with you, who provoked you to lose such a big temper."

"Liu Yu, this puppet, I will break his body into pieces sooner or later." Jia Ke is still angry.

Then Jia Ke made it difficult for Liu Yu to him everywhere during this time, and the emperor also cooperated with Liu Yu to weaken his military power. Said it to Fan Kang.

At the same time, he said to Fan Kang: "Just now we received an 800-mile rush in the Lianghuai area, saying that there was a major flood in the Lianghuai area, flooding more than a dozen prefectures and counties, and millions of victims were affected. ”

Fan Kang's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, "Lord, I don't know how the imperial court handles it. ”

"What else can be done? The emperor ordered the household to send 2 million quintals of grain, and the left capital Yushi Tianye, as the minister of the Qin Mission, led 8,000 troops to go to the disaster relief. ”

When Jia Ke said this, he remembered the emperor's weakening of his military power today.

"Mr. Fan, I have made up my mind, I won't wait any longer, and I must be in power within this year." Jia Ke said through gritted teeth.

"Lord, if you don't come to me, I will get the news of the flood in Jiangnan in a few days, and I will also suggest to the lord, this year is a great opportunity for the lord to gain power." Fan Kang said with a serious face.

"What does Mr. Fan mean? Tell me more about it. ”

"Lord, do you think that such a big flood in Jiangnan can be survived with two million grains?"

Jia Ke thought for a while and said: "This is just to appease the victims in the early stage, but if you want to completely resettle the victims, you can't get through this hurdle without five million grains and three or four million taels of silver." ”

"It seems that the lord has a number in his heart, it is like this, if there is still silver and grain in the imperial court in previous years, this disaster is nothing, but this year is catching up, the grain storage road is empty, and the grain is the biggest problem." Fan Kang pointed out the difficulties of the current imperial court in one sentence.

"How do you know that the grain depot of the imperial court is empty, I think at least half of this grain is still in the treasury, and the king of Zhongshun has donated nearly 5 million quintals of grain like the household department, and some of it is transported away this time, and there should be some in the treasury that can be used for first aid." Jia Ke saw that the emperor was confident this morning. After all, he didn't know much about the situation in the household department, and now that he thought about it, the emperor must have food in the treasury, so he didn't panic.

"Lord, I don't know if I am busy with official business during this time, King Zhongshun took out all the silver in the house during this time, and purchased nearly five million quintals of grain in Jiangnan, which was just sent to the grain storage road of the household department some time ago, but this is not what he is willing, if there is no persecution from the emperor, the king of Zhongshun is not a virtuous and filial son, where will he take out his family wealth to help the emperor."

"Is there such a thing?" Jia Ke has indeed been a little lax during this time, since Jia Ke returned to the capital, he has been accompanied by beauties, living in a mansion and a beautiful building, and when he goes in and out, he is accompanied by soldiers and servants, and he is indeed a little unable to extricate himself in Gentle Township.

"My lord, if this happens, I'm afraid that King Zhongshun will hate the lord to death now, if it weren't for the lord's proposal to send 1.5 million quintals of grain into Beijing, I'm afraid the matter of storing grain and rice would not have been released, and he wouldn't have to send these 5 million quintals of grain under the emperor's persecution."

Jia Ke now understands where the emperor's food comes from? This is obtained by extortion from the loyal king. It is as good as the emperor said, it was voluntarily donated by the king of Zhongshun.

"Where is the grain in the household department enough for the victims in the Lianghuai area, not to mention the drought in Shaanxi in a few months, if it is not alleviated and millions of victims, what do you say the imperial court should do?"

Fan Kang was also a little worried about these victims, although he knew that this was a great opportunity for Jia Ke, but he still felt a little unbearable in his heart.

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, the emperor will only have to raise taxes or take out the treasury to calm down the matter." Jia Ke frowned and said, he was also the lowest level of the people in his previous life, so he naturally knew the difficulties of the people's lives. If the emperor raises taxes by one point, those corrupt officials can raise taxes by ten points.

As for the addition of the inner treasury silver, Jia Ke also said this, looking at the appearance of today, this emperor is also a stinger, and he wants him to pay attention, but it is very difficult. In the end, the matter of this silver has to fall on the ordinary people.

"If the emperor raises taxes, he will inevitably lose the hearts of the people in the world, and won't the lord get twice the result with half the effort if he rises again?" Fan Kang finally said his plan, and he didn't mention the matter of letting the emperor out of the treasury at all, because he knew that it would be very difficult. They had been planning to deplete the Emperor's finances some time ago, but now it seemed to be whimsical.

After listening to Fan Kang's words, Jia Ke woke up like a big dream, the disaster in the world is a disaster for the emperor, but it is a godsend for him Jia Ke.

As long as the emperor is anxious and loses the hearts of the people in the world, he will look better at the end of the seizure of the throne.

Fan Kang saw that Jia Ke was a little carried away, and hurriedly reminded, "I advise the lord, it's better not to ascend the throne right away." ”

Jia Ke was thinking about winning the throne this year and ruling the world, but he didn't expect Fan Kang's words next to him to pull him back to reality.

"What does Mr. Fan mean?" Jia Ke still attaches great importance to himself as a strategist, since Fan Kang followed him, he has never worried about political affairs, and Fan Kang will do some things properly for him.
