Chapter 241: Discussion Southwest

Xu Zheng, the left and right sides of the Inspectorate, stepped forward and said: "In the past, Jinliao pressed the border, Dali and Tubo were all alliances of Lianyi, and the thieves and wolves of Western Xia rebelled, and Dali and Tubo withdrew from the border although they were defeated. The emperor is sage, Bingren Cheng's grace, the ancient monarch can not reach, although Dali was withdrawn in the past, but poured the grain of the whole country, this grace will never be forgotten. In the minister's shallow view, the southwest of the matter, from Dali, the people's will, and then play Jin, there is no need to think of other strategies, since then the country and the people are safe, and the four seas are peaceful. ”

"No!" As soon as Xu Zheng's words landed, the third superintendent Zheng Yao Jie hurriedly came out to hug the fold: "Tubo is not only a friend of the country, but also a marriage relative, the pearl of the Holy Son of Heaven lives in the west, and the concubine of this dynasty is also the sister of the king of the west, and the two countries are blood relatives by marriage. ”

Zhou Bolun also knew that one party was kind and the other side was pro, and it was very difficult to choose, so they nodded and said that they made sense to each other, and stretched out their fingers to ask Tang Yi: "What does Tang Aiqing say?" ”

Tang Yi was named, stepped forward and hugged him: "The dispute in the southwest: the west is the in-law, the south is favorable, it is inappropriate to help and ignore injustice." In the final analysis, the calama is the cause of the monk, and the Zen spine of rest. In the humble opinion of the ministers, mediation is appropriate. ”

The old ministers of the cabinet have not figured out a proper method, and if they can easily mediate, there is no need to discuss here. Zhou Bolun turned his eyes to Lin Azhen in annoyance, and saw him standing in the crowd, listening quietly without saying a word, frowning slightly and asking, "What does Lin Aiqing discuss?" ”

** and the Panchen are both living Buddhas, the two of them are fighting for internal force, and there are black hands behind them, and the tune is non-stop. Ah Zhenxin is like a mirror, he was personally named, and he can't be out of the list. "Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is already very safe, there is no need to discuss it again, and it is okay to make a decision when the two envoys advance." After a pause, he looked up, pursed his lips and said: "The important thing at the moment is not how the southwest is, but how the emperor is, how the border is defended, and what the interests are." ”

"Border guards? Benefit? As the king of a country, Zhou Bolun is of course the interests of his country, how can he not know the reason, although the dispute in the southwest is actually to explore the ministers of the court, the wine vat was pierced, his fingers stretched down, and he urged urgently: "Lin Aiqing come quickly." ”

"Yes!" It doesn't matter whether they fight or not, what matters is whether their own interests will be damaged, officials, businessmen, and people will never be able to get out of this circle, and the emperor is also a human being, so of course he will have thoughts. Ah Zhen was in the center of the vein, and said: "The dispute in the southwest, if it can be stopped, of course, it is the best, if it is not stopped, the emperor will offend one side no matter what, and it is inevitable that he will take precautions." Dali is powerful, Tubo is big, both of which should not be underestimated, and the current emphasis on strengthening the border is the top priority, and how to settle the displaced people. I have set a precedent of anti-water in Western Xia, and we must not be careless anymore. ”

The hall is full of old foxes, just now I didn't see the emperor's thoughts, and now I saw that the emperor mentioned the border defense look completely different, and immediately knew where it was, and they all secretly scolded themselves in their hearts for figuring out the holy will, and when they heard the words of the right prime minister, they naturally praised each other.

This kind of thing of being in a corner of peace and not caring about the life or death of others and only caring about his own interests cannot be said by the emperor, and no matter how important the affairs of Dali and Tubo are, they are only important to the interests of their own country. Zhou Bolun was in trouble, and was really poked out by Lin Azhen. The ministers had an epiphany, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Zhou Bolun smiled with satisfaction, pointed to the six books and said: "Li Aiqing, this matter is in charge of the Ministry of War, as the head of the six departments, you are the most important part of your job, what do you think?" ”

Li Dongguo's thief's eyes rolled around, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "The emperor's Ming Gu has not come out, and the far-sighted ministers can't wait, the slaves want to come and go, the difficulty of Dali Tubo is as difficult as a dead button, and I am so troubled in my heart. Later, I suddenly thought of something, and I was relieved, I ate deliciously, and I could sleep. ”

"Li Aiqing and get up." The ministers seemed to be very accustomed to this kind of kneeling at every turn, not surprised or surprised, and the emperor evoked and asked: "What did you think of that suddenly made Li Aiqing relieved?" ”

Li Guodong is an old fox, shaking out the flattery of joy and self-control, kneeling down and saying happily: "It turns out that the minions thought that the emperor was thoughtful and had no last resort, and the things that the minions thought of were naturally expected by the emperor." Even if the minions want to break their heads, they can't be as high as the emperor's guidance. The slave only needs to listen to the emperor's instructions to do things, and whatever the emperor says, the slave will die and move forward bravely, and in the end it will be smooth sailing and everything will go well. ”

Ah Zhen was dumbfounded since this old thing suddenly thanked Dade for kneeling, and now when he heard this, his stomach was surging, and the stick he admired couldn't be thrown to the ground. sighed: The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, if you want to say that you are an official, I am afraid that no one is as good as this old guy. Look at this sycophant, it is really accurate, if he is willing to teach others a few tricks, then everyone will soar, fame and wealth will be captured, and the future is limitless!

Zhou Bolun seemed to be very happy by this sycophant, and his face was bright, and he said: "I am asking you what arrangements you should make, but I am not here to listen to you sing praises of virtue, so I don't want to tell you what I think." ”

Li Guodong's face was full of disapproval, and he hurriedly kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, the slave is not singing praises of merit, it is indeed the truth." When the slave learned about the southwest, he was worried day and night, thinking about how to deal with it. Should it be Tibetan? lost the friendship of Dali. Cheng Dali? lost the Tibetan affection again. Out of sight is pure, and it provokes the two countries to reprimand them for losing their hearts, coming and going, always leaving the master behind. can think about it, the master is too sage, and the slave is too. The minions have come up with a strategy that they have come up with after thinking about anxiety, and it is not as good as the emperor to come up with an idea casually. The Holy Son of Heaven is the crape myrtle star in the sky, and naturally it is not something that ordinary people like minions can reach. Therefore, the slave thought to himself, as long as the emperor ordered it, it must be good. Even if the minions don't understand it for a while, as long as they work hard, they will eventually suddenly realize it and be used for a lifetime. ”

The ministers also gushed in their hearts, and they all secretly scolded him for being shameless, flattering the lord in public, and really doing everything, but they couldn't refute his sycophancy, and refuting it was not equivalent to saying that the emperor was not holy? Zhang Nene's old face slid the black line, and he hurriedly echoed the voice, praising the emperor for being wise, wise, and so wise.

Ah Zhen listened to the sweat in his head, three black lines hung on his forehead, and a crow on his head was dragging an ellipsis. The old face showed extreme nausea, and his eyes were stunned, so he had to look at the old guy kneeling next to him. Look at this sycophant, that's called a superb one, who in the world can compare?

Zhou Bolun fluttered, his smile aroused Li Guodong, turned his eyes to Lin Azhen's blank face, and asked with a hidden smile: "Lin Aiqing has a strategy of being difficult to defeat by gods and ghosts, and the defense of the border is a major military matter, and it is also the responsibility of his own duty, what do you think of the battle for the southwest?" ”

"Huh?" was called back to his senses, Ah Zhen almost vomited in the palace, his hand was hurriedly covering his lips, and the old face was embarrassed: "The emperor Shengming, Shangshu Province has a remark just now, the emperor has a strategy, and the ministers dare not speak falsely." According to Shangshu Province, the minister's thousand thoughts are no better than the emperor's words...... "Turning his head to look at Li Guodong, seeing that he was blushing and his heart was not beating, he immediately knew that he had lost." I thought that I had the thickest skin, but I didn't expect to meet a thicker one today, Feng Xiao Xiao Yi Shui Han said: "The minister treats the Holy Son of Heaven to decide, what the emperor says, how the minister does, and go on a business with sincerity. ”

When the ministers heard this, you looked at me, and I looked at you. All think that although the right prime minister is young, his deeds are not shallow, and the disgusting degree is similar to that of the shameless Li Guodong.

Zhou Bolun's old eyebrows twisted slightly, and he looked down at Lin Azhen for a long time, thinking that the border defense matter had made him out, so he sent heavy troops to guard against it, and there was no need to talk about it. Meiyu slowed down, nodded and ended the two topics, picked up the teacup and said: "The two have been decided, don't talk about it again, do you Aiqing still have something important to do?" ”

Seeing that the two things were finalized, the elders of the pavilion retreated to the rankings, and Shangshu Tian Yuguang of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly folded out of the column, "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to play." ”

"Hmm." The emperor took a sip of tea, put the teacup in his hand and asked, "What did Tian Aiqing play?" ”

"Yes." Tian Yuguang respectfully said: "The snow disaster in the four places has been covered by the right prime minister dragon and tiger charm, and the disaster has entered the disaster area, and the local government department has counted that the disaster destroyed 60,000 fertile fields, 4,000 houses were damaged, 3,000 collapsed, and 87,000 people were affected. The emperor drew 500,000 taels of disaster relief, the food was still reluctant, the weather was cold and the ground was freezing, and the people died nearly 10,000 in three days. ”

"Bring it in." Hearing that nearly 10,000 people had died in three days, Zhou Bolun's face was not very good-looking, and he hurriedly went down the narrow ladder, took over the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, and hurriedly ran to the palace to submit.

87,000 people, 500,000 taels of food is still enough? Five copper coins and three steamed buns, a thousand copper coins and one tael of silver, this account has to be calculated carefully. Ten copper coins and six steamed buns, one thousand copper coins and six hundred steamed buns, one tael of silver and six hundred steamed buns! 502,300,000,000 steamed buns, 300,000,000 steamed buns for eight, 100,000 people, then ......

Ah Zhen's face was ugly, and he was almost choked to death by steamed buns, and the emperor didn't finish reading the folds, so he stepped out of the column: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Shicai said that there were 87,000 disaster victims, and 500,000 taels of food were still sufficient. The minister wants to ask the emperor, why are the steamed buns in other places have three five-pattern coins, but why are there three five-pattern coins in these four places? ”

"Huh?" When the old ministers of the cabinet heard this inquiry, they were suddenly shocked, and Li Guodong, the secretary of the six departments, sweated on his forehead, and hurriedly asked: "Why did the right prime minister say this?" The prices in these four places are the same as the others. ”

When Shangjia Yan heard the three steamed buns with fifty patterns, he was frightened into a cold sweat, and he knelt on the ground and wept. "Your Majesty, the head of the household department of the micro-minister for ten years, half dare not be careless, the right prime minister may be mistaken, my holy dynasty taxes are all clearly standardized, and the ministers dare not add a centimeter and a half lines even if they die, how can they say that there are fifty lines and three steamed buns."

Zhou Bolun has not finished reading the fold, and the following has already been wronged and noisy, the fold in his hand is angry, the dragon's eyebrows are raised and wrinkled, and the dragon's eyes are wide and scolded: "Lin Aiqing is outrageous, hearsay cannot be trusted, even if the price is high, it is impossible to be higher than this, if there is really a feeling, it will be boiling early, how can I not know." ”
