Jia Cong's original desire to have a reunion dinner with Ping'er and the others was delayed after all.

I don't know if it was because of the previous denial of the large-scale transfer of officials in the cabinet, so the civilian officials deliberately came to find trouble, in short, at noon, the ministers of military aircraft Lin Qinghe, Wu Qichuan and the new head of the household department Zuo Zhongqi asked to see.

In the Hanyuan Palace, Jia Cong looked at the three important ministers of the dynasty with a light gaze.

Zuo Zhongqi was originally the governor of Qilu, the backbone of the new party, and was valued by Emperor Chongkang, and was transferred to Beijing to be promoted to the prime minister, and was in charge of the household department.

Zuo Zhongqi looks ordinary, but his demeanor is condensed, and he can see that he is usually quite dignified.

After seeing the ceremony, Jia Cong went straight to the point and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Qinghe and Wu Qichuan were probably not used to this kind of straightforward speaking art, and they didn't seem to know how to answer for a while, but Zuo Zhongqi simply bowed down and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, the ministers are here for the matter of the treasury and silver." ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "It has been two years since the new law was launched, and the treasury is becoming more and more full, how can the imperial court have a shortage of silver?" ”

Lin Qinghe reacted at this moment and said busily: "Your Highness, if it is a normal year, the silver of the household department will naturally be enough, and there will be a surplus, how can it support the summer tax to be released into the treasury." It's just that this year it's really ...... There's so much going on. Only two national funerals will cost millions of taels of silver. Of course, this money should be spent. In addition, there is also the matter of the Spring Siege of Iron Net Mountain, with countless casualties, and in order to compensate the soldiers who died in battle, the imperial court has to spend a large amount of additional silver. In addition, the first emperor transferred tens of thousands of troops from the border army into Beijing, which was a large amount of expenditure...... After spending all this silver, if there is nothing to do in the country, the ministers can grit their teeth and persevere, and they will always be able to survive the summer tax, and they will cope with it.

However, the summer flood is approaching, and this year the southern province is rainy, the floods are not abating, the river yamen is in a hurry, and the water level of the Yangtze River has exceeded the level of previous years. The river workers should be strengthened, and this silver should not be less in any case. In addition, there is the land of Qilu, which suffered a major drought this year, and the harvest is a foregone conclusion. If the unrest is properly appeased, it will be a catastrophe for tens of millions of people to be displaced.

But except for the silver of the river workers, the court really can't take out the silver to help the victims! ”

Jia Cong's brain ached faintly, and asked, "How much silver does the river need?" How much silver do you want from Qilu? ”

Wu Qichuan hurriedly said: "According to past experience, the river will cost at least two million taels of silver. As for Qilu...... I'm afraid I can't beat it for tens of millions of taels of silver. The price of grain in the land of Qilu has begun to soar...... However, Your Highness, the minister thought that if the river could have a virtuous minister, maybe he would be able to use a lot of silver. ”

Jia Cong almost laughed angrily when he heard this, his complexion changed suddenly, he looked at Wu Qichuan sharply, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why Gu is unwilling to use the emperor's technique to practice the way of balance is that the imperial court can be less calculating when doing big things, and can work together to make efforts. At the moment of national disaster, Gushi does not want a second time. Bearing the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty alone, he also imagined making an oath with his ministers not to kill the scholars. But Wu Qing's performance today made Gu completely dispel this idea. ”

When Wu Qichuan heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out, and his eyes looked at Jia Cong in shock.

What does it mean to kill without seeing blood, nothing more than that!

How poisonous this statement is!!

If the scholars of the world knew that the prince wanted to make an oath of "not killing the scholars", but he was ruined because of him, Wu Qichuan thought with his ass, and he could think of what would happen to him.

Sweating profusely as if fished out of water, Wu Qichuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Highness, the minister is ignorant, and the minister is ......."

"Are you unconscious? No, you're not stupid at all, you're very shrewd! ”

Without waiting for Wu Qichuan to finish speaking, Jia Cong said sharply: "In order to fight for power and profit, you racked your mind!" In order to prevent Zhao Qingshan and Chai Liang from entering Beijing, you have taken great pains!

Unconscious? In terms of ability and means, you Wu Qichuan can also be regarded as a masterpiece in the world, and you Wu Qichuan have made great contributions to the great cause of the new law.

But your vision and mind are too narrow, and your heart for fame and fortune is too heavy!

Do you think that if you ignore government affairs for the time being and entrust all the power to you, you also want to taste the taste of wielding the authority of the world like Ning Zechen? Thinking that Zhao Qingshan Chai Liang's two hard bones came back, you would be uncomfortable?

Do you think that the power of the world is a blessing for you, for your enjoyment and use?

The first emperor sat in this position, and for fourteen years, he trembled and trembled, and slept only two hours a day. Ning Zechen was only fifty years old, and he was full of white hair, deaf and dizzy.

Are they being blessed and used? Are they using the power in their hands to gain power?

No!

They are suffering for the hundreds of millions of trillions of great cadres and for the sake of opening up the peace of the great cadres for all eternity.

Only in this way can there be a situation in which today's great cadres and new laws are carried out, and their great achievements will be remembered in history and admired by all the people.

You have clearly participated in this great cause, how much hard work has been put in to open this rare start, why not continue to work together to create an unprecedented prosperity?

For the sake of some flies and dogs, I am willing to be cheap!!

You are also a great Confucian in the world, how could you fall to this point?

You don't even count the same party and the same party, it's purely because of the desire for profit!

If the great cause of the new law dies because of the party struggle that you started today, you Wu Qichuan will be the first sinner of the ages! ”

"Poof!!"

Wu Qichuan couldn't help squirting out a mouthful of blood in his heart anymore, and fell to his knees with his face like gold paper, and the whole person trembled.

On the side, Lin Qinghe and Zuo Zhongqi both changed their complexions.

If today's words are spread, Wu Qichuan will naturally end up in a situation where he is not even as good as shit, his reputation will be lost all his life, and he will become the object of scolding and spitting in the world, and even the two people who are traveling with them will be implicated.

In contrast, they were willing to be dragged down by Jia Cong on the spot and cut off their heads, and they couldn't bear such a "good name" that had been stinking for thousands of years.

It is said that words are like knives, words are like knives, and even the Son of Heaven is afraid of the words of a hundred officials, but today it is reversed.

met a prince who refused to leave any cover and leeway, which made Lin Qinghe and Zuo Zhongqi's hearts as cold as winter.

However, at this time, he listened to Jia Cong's words again, he looked at Wu Qichuan, who was almost curled up on the ground, his voice was lowered, and he said: "Nian is that you have made a contribution to opening up a new law, you are an old minister of the first emperor, and you are also a first-time offender, and you will be given one last chance, two places, Hedao and Qilu, you can choose one." Well done, nothing happened to Lonely today. Poorly done...... See for yourself. ”

When Wu Qichuan heard this, he suddenly became excited, like a drowning person grabbing the last life-saving straw, raised his head suddenly, and his colorless old face instantly turned red, and hissed: "Your Highness, the minister is willing to go to the river!" If there is the slightest mistake in the river this year, there is no need for His Royal Highness to punish the ministers, and the ministers themselves jump into the Yangtze River to end themselves, so as not to live up to the emperor's grace, to the people, and to His Royal Highness! ”

Jia Cong nodded, and said to Zuo Zhongqi, who had an awe-inspiring face: "Allocate one million taels of silver to go south with Lord Wu, and the remaining one million taels will be raised on the spot." Tell those squires and giants in Jiangnan that once the Yangtze River floods, they will not benefit much! If you have a dime, check their old bottom......"

Zuo Zhongqi and Wu Qichuan received the order together, and after that, Lin Qinghe still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, Lord Wu went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and the river was mostly worry-free. But in the land of Qilu, the gap is really too big. ”

Jia Cong pinched his eyebrows and said, "How long can Qilu control it?" ”

Zuo Zhongqi came from Qilu, his face was somewhat ashamed, and he replied: "I can hold out for a month at most......"

When Jia Cong heard this, he frowned at him and said, "In such a big province, doesn't it often close positions?" Why did such a severe drought not start until this time? ”

Zuo Zhongqi bowed and said: "Your Highness, the minister has been playing since March, but except for the 180,000 taels of relief silver allocated by the imperial court at the beginning to build a waterwheel and dig deep wells, there is no news. Although Qilu also has a standing position, Shandong has too many people and consumes a lot of grain every day, so ......"

Lin Qinghe reminded at this time: "Your Highness, Qilu, Yanzhao and other eastern provinces were originally in charge of Song Guangxian and Lou Chengwen. At that time, the first emperor was not in good health, and ordinary government affairs were already difficult to handle, so ......"

After Jia Cong exhaled a long breath, he nodded, and said slowly: "Lone knows, in this matter, Lone will come up with a way to help the victims, and it will not delay the relief of the victims." Go down ......."

After the three of them received the order, Zuo Zhongqi frowned when he saw Jia Cong at such an age, and couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, why don't you ...... the silver in the inner treasury first?"

Jia Cong waved his hand to stop Zuo Zhongqi's words, and said, "Let's talk about it again, I want to think about it." Rest assured, there will be no delay in providing relief to the victims. Although Lone is not the first emperor, he always loves the people. ”

Zuo Zhongqi's face softened, and after taking a deep look at Jia Cong, he left with Lin Qinghe and Wu Qichuan.

After the three of them left, Jia Cong let out a long breath again, sat on the royal chair, and pondered for a long time......

……

Shou'an Palace.

Jia Cong looked at King Wu helplessly and said, "Don't worry, father, your son has a way." Since the silver in the treasury of the Heavenly Family has been promised by the emperor, there is no reason to repay the account anymore. It is about the majesty of the father, and it is also about the foundation of the sons, and there is no reason to change this matter. ”

After speaking, he said to Yin Jun, who was a transparent person in the hall: "Why are you the same as the long-tongued woman?" Whatever you say is going this way! ”

"Huh!"

King Wu laughed and drank Jia Cong, and then looked at the Yinjun who didn't hear it, and blamed Jia Cong: "Don't be rude, your uncle Feng also cares for you." ”

Jia Cong smiled, then looked at King Wu and said, "Father, don't worry, the son is not Adou." If Erchen said that he could do it, he would definitely be able to do it. If you can't even do this little thing, how can your son be the son of your father? The father and emperor will raise the dragon body well, and the rest will be handled by the sons. As long as the father emperor dragon is healthy, the sky will not fall. ”

After hearing these words, King Wu felt the ironing in his heart, which was simply indescribable.

Maybe he is really old, and he has never softened his heart in the mountain of corpses and blood that he has killed, and he can't help but have a little moist eyes at the moment, he looked at Jia Cong and said: "If your mother is still there, how good it would be to see you so sensible......"

Jia Cong smiled and said softly: "Therefore, the sons have to do better, live better, and not let their father and mother down." ”

King Wu stretched out his hand and patted Jia Cong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I am not disappointed, never." ”

However, my father will not let you do this......

……

Night.

Jia Cong, who had been busy in Daming Palace for a day, was summoned to Cining Palace by the Queen Mother after summoning more than a dozen ministers of the Internal Affairs Department and imperial businessmen, and also summoned the person in charge of the Fengzihao capital.

As soon as he entered the Shouxuan Palace, Jia Cong was stunned.

I saw that in the inner hall of a huge palace, there were countless boxes of money.

On the phoenix couch, the Queen Mother sat there looking at him with a distressed but strong face, and King Wu also looked at him with a smile.

On the side, Ye Qing looked at him with an unkind face, and Daiyu who pursed her lips......

Jia Cong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and after being called, he listened to King Wu say: "Prince, the Queen Mother learned that you are in trouble now, so she took out all the treasures that she had treasured for many years and solved the problem with you." Why don't you thank the Queen Mother? ”

Jia Cong: "......"
