Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tenkyo Chapter 43 The Wind Rises in Tenkyo (3)
Xu De looked at the emperor in surprise, and the emperor had just asked his ministers if they wanted to declare war on the Jin State.
For a while, there was silence in the hall. No one thought that the emperor, who had always been timid, would ask such a question in the court.
Liu Xian saw that no one came out to speak, so he immediately came out and said: "The minister thinks that the Jin State has repeatedly violated the border of my Han Dynasty, and this time he almost killed my Datong general soldier, if he sues for peace again, I am afraid that he will be ridiculed for having no one in the court." Liu Xiantong has never dealt with the military attachΓ©s around him, but after listening to Liu Xian's words today, the group of big bosses and coarse people all looked at this kid seriously.
"What Lord Liu said is inappropriate." Seeing this, Wu Dakai hurriedly came out to the top. He accepted Xu De's arrangement, and he was busy until late at night before he fell asleep yesterday, and at this time there was still Xie Faqing in his eyes, and said: "Originally, the battle on the Western Front was about to be won, of course, the war in the north could not be ignited, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty could not support the two fronts to start a war at the same time." β
Although Wu Dakai said that he was speaking for Xu De, the truth in his words was true, if the Han wanted to force a war in the west and north at the same time, the treasury would collapse first.
Ma Daoyuan came out again and said: "The Jin Kingdom deceived people too much, and only cut a piece of land for them last year, but it made a comeback this year. If it is ruthlessly dampened its spirit, I am afraid that the Jin Kingdom will only use the Han as a granary of the treasury. β
Seeing this, Wu Dakai retorted: "If there is a war, where will the grain and grass come from? Where did the armament come from? Although the Northern Yan Province has always been self-sufficient by the Yu Clan, if it really makes a big move, how long can the cold land in the north last? It's not the court that is carrying it. β
Wu Dakai has bitten to death the practical problem of armaments, grain and grass, which is the most practical and unavoidable problem. Wu Dakai's words made the courtiers of the main battle speechless, and he was vaguely proud on his face. It's just that Qin Sanxuan's face is a little unsightly, his mind is deeper than Wu Dakai, and he thinks of some annoyed situations.
The emperor looked disappointed, the eldest princess clearly said in the letter that someone would receive the emperor in the court, why did Wu Dakai lose a few words?
Suddenly, a person came out of the civil official team, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Zhang Qianfu again. Although this person has a low official position, he has spoken several times and is close to Xu De's lifeline. Xu De sent people to thoroughly investigate the background of this person's family, but found nothing, only found out that this person was completely innocent and his family was surrounded by four walls. Xu De was hindered by his identity, and it was difficult to attack him, so he actually came out again today.
"Zhang Qianfu, the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, knock on the emperor." Zhang Qianfu had a confident smile on his face, he first saluted the emperor, then straightened up, and said, "What Wu Shangshu said, in the eyes of the lower officials, is not a reason to give up the war at all. β
Xu De looked at his face calmly, not disturbed by his appearance in the slightest. He squinted slightly, looking at Liu Xian, who had already returned to the queue, with a calm face, and knew in his heart that what Feng Tianshou said to him was really interesting.
Wu Dakai saw that a little Yushi also came to refute him, and said: "Zhang Yushi said why money and food are not a reason to give up the war. β
The smile on Zhang Qianfu's face did not decrease, and he said: "Now that my Han Dynasty is peaceful, will the situation be more difficult and dangerous than that of Gaozu?" β
As soon as he said this, all the ministers, including Xu De, were far away in their hearts. Although this Han is only a false prosperity now, it is much better than the situation of Gaozu "starting from the group of heroes, and there are only a hundred servants", if this situation is not enough to fight with a group of barbarians on the grassland, it is simply ashamed of such a national name as the Great Han.
Zhang Qianfu saw the expression on the courtier's face, and said: "Emperor Wu's southern and northern wars consumed a lot of people's strength, and many people were displaced, making it difficult to bear the burden. The first emperor took pity on the people, so that there was no one in the excesses of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and for decades, the people's livelihood was restored, and the four seas were peaceful. Now that the war has begun, the officials and people of the Han Dynasty are united, if a little more finance and tax are levied, the people will definitely have no complaints. β
As soon as Zhang Qianfu said this, the hall was shocked, even the emperor knew that he couldn't do it. What do you blow every day, Haiyan River is clear, the four seas are leveling, and Zhang Yushi, are you still serious? If it really goes down to raise taxes, I am afraid that a second ancestor will be born soon. No one dares to take this risk.
Wu Dakai listened to Zhang Qianfu's crazy words and was gagged. Qin Sanxuan obviously knew the worst result for a long time, frowned and shook his head, Liu Xian was also shocked when he heard this, he only knew that someone would dedicate himself today to force Xu De to cede grain and grass, but he didn't expect to use such a scheme, if Xu De made up his mind to break the jar, this seemingly subtle plan would have to be smashed on the head of the Liu royal family.
Xu De was also surprised in his heart, he had already seen that this Qianfu was coming for him again. He looked at the emperor, the weather was no longer hot, but the emperor was sweating profusely. The number one person sent by the eldest princess is a ruthless character, not only embarrassing Xu De, but also embarrassing him.
Zhang Aiqing said cautiously. Seeing that no one spoke, the emperor could only stubbornly push his head and said: "The first emperor was sympathetic to the people's livelihood, and it was my Han practice. Although I am not virtuous, I also know the importance of people's livelihood, so don't say such things again. β
Just when everyone thought that this page would be turned over, without waiting for Zhang Qianfu to reply to the emperor's words, Wanzong resolutely stepped out of the ranks, knelt down and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhang Yushi's method is not impossible!" β
This time, not to mention the loyal ministers, even Xu De's subordinates were also blown up. Aren't they trying to have a dragon merit in the future, if the world is torn apart, Xu De will be defeated piece by piece to become the second Emperor Gaozu?
"Lord Wan speaks carefully." Ma Daoyuan hurriedly came out to stop Wanzong from talking, he didn't know what was wrong with this uncle and nephew. He probably knew that Wanzong must have been instructed by someone, but going to fight with Xu De like this was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
"Your Majesty!" Qin Sanxuan finally couldn't hold it back, and came out of the line and saluted: "Wanzong Zhang Qianfu and the two of them, they want to harm my Han Jiangshan Sheji, condemn the Jin State to be a spy, and ask the emperor to punish the two of them!" β
Qin Sanxuan finally stirred up the atmosphere of the imperial court to the highest point. A cadre of ministers and workers came out one after another to express their opinions, and the Daming Hall was as noisy as the North City. The emperor sat on the dragon chair, and there was nothing he could do about this mess. Xu De looked at the reaction of the emperor's ministers, this was the last thing he wanted to see, but since it happened, he had to find a way. Since there is Zhang Qianfu, who can be sure that there is no Li Qianfu and Sun Qianfu? If the situation is left unattended, this spearhead will only burn on himself in the end, but it is not as Feng Tianshou said, taking the initiative to attack.
Without waiting for Xiao Luzi to speak, Xu De got up and went out of the ranks, and the ministers stopped the battle of tongues when they saw this, and looked at Xu De in the middle of the hall, Xu De slowly knelt down and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a way." β
