Lu Gao hurriedly entered the palace to face the king, and at this time, Jiang Yu was already at a loss, the cabinet was on leave, Jiang Yu's government and military orders could not be issued in Chenling, even if they were issued, the counties and counties could not implement them, and the fundamental reason was still this top-down fundamental policy change.

It took only three months to overthrow the legal system established over the past twenty-six years, to overturn the entire systemic bureaucratic structure, to offend all strata except tài zǐ dǎng, and to take the grassroots by surprise and the lower strata to fall into a contradictory governance whirlpool, while at the same time igniting the public sentiment to the point of uncontrollable, in order to seize power, the new monarch has reached the point of doing anything to seize power.

"It should be killed, Bailiyan should be killed, all of this is his fault, it's all his fault!"

Jiang roared, roaring hysterically, in his opinion, everything should go according to plan, but all plans have suffered unprecedented setbacks, so all failures are the work of Bailiyan's henchmen, and they should be killed.

"King, the counties are on the verge of rebellion at the moment, and measures must be taken immediately, otherwise the chaos in the eastern counties will be out of control."

Gao Xun tried to say that Jiang Zhen sent troops to suppress it, but Jiang Zhen said:

"The widow issued a military order to the towns 15 days ago, expanding the armament and suppressing the rebellion, but there has been no reply so far.

"King, the towns are still in arrears for two months' salaries, and they should be paid first, so that the town army can urge the soldiers to use their lives."

"Then why not pay salaries!" King Xian asked, and looked at Tan Le at the next moment: "Lord Tan, why don't you pay the military salaries in each town." ”

"King Qiqi, at the end of April, the treasury has been in an emergency, so there is no money available."

"That's a year's expense, why is it only for three months!"

"Back to the king, the county finance and taxes should arrive in the capital in the second month of the new year, but during the state funeral at the end of last year, the Marquis of Yongxing ordered the finance and taxes to be temporarily stored in the county treasury, and then transported to the capital after the national funeral, so they should be transported to the state treasury in March, so now the money has not yet been transported to the national treasury in various counties."

"Then hurry up and rush it!"

"Back to the king, the minister has urged him, but he can't rush it."

"Why is that?"

"This ......"

Tan Le wanted to speak and stopped looking embarrassed, Jiang Yu was angry:

"Why?"

"King Qiyu, according to the rules of the Sinong Mansion, the transfer of money is sent by the Sinong Mansion to check the accounts, and the local government is responsible for transporting it to the capital, and the accounting officials accompany and supervise until the money enters the treasury and the documents are issued before the treasury can be completed.

But the minister thought that this was too troublesome, and wanted to restore the old system, and the imperial court sent personnel to collect and be responsible for escorting, but the counties and counties did not agree, so they could not be transported. ”

After Bailiyan took power, the local government was responsible for escorting the taxes collected by the local finance every year, and the central government sent people to check the accounts and supervise the escort, which had the advantage of preventing the higher-level departments from pressing people with power and asking for benefits, and at the same time put an end to the local false accounts from the system.

But before that, the local taxation has always been in charge of the commissioner sent by the imperial court, and everywhere he goes, there are goose plucking feathers, the advantage is that they are all cronies of the powerful groups, and the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the disadvantage is that there are layers of eating and taking cards, but not many of them end up in the treasury.

The new Si Nong Tan wants to change the financial system established by Bailiyan and restore the old system. Therefore, in addition to eating and drinking everywhere, one of the most important things to do was to go down to the grassroots level to personally take charge of the transfer of money, and for this reason, he also brought the official seal on his body, which shows that he can wait and be conscientious.

Of course, Tan Le's conscientiousness is not that he is selfless, but that he wants to benefit from the money in these places and leave his own back door in the future tax collection activities, but he has been fully resisted by all counties and counties.

Because the reform of the law and the transformation of the system are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at the grassroots level, Tan Le has to face not a traditional old bureaucratic system, but a new systematic system.

Moreover, the situation had deteriorated in March, and the money did not dare to be shipped out at all, and the magistrates did not intend to transport it. By April, the state treasury's emergency reserve funds were depleted, and the military salaries that needed to be allocated by the central government could not be paid.

Of course, there are special supplementary provisions in this situation, and the local treasury should provide funds and raw materials for the garrison and all the local yamen and their administrative organs to the extent necessary to ensure basic local stability.

Therefore, even if the state treasury does not pay military salaries, the garrisons in various localities can still obtain basic food and daily necessities from the local counties and counties, and there will not be a point where the barracks will run out of food, but they will not pay military salaries to the garrisons, which is tantamount to fueling the power of local warlords.

At present, Bailiyan's old department is still there, and it can still restrain them, and one day he Bailiyan is gone, and the fresh blood is replenished such as the army, and this system will be abandoned because of the ability of the monarch and cabinet members, so it is necessary to financially restrict the garrison to a certain extent, but it cannot be too restricted, so that the garrison loses its autonomy.

When Tan Le sorted out the relationship for King Xian, Lu Gao had already come to the outside of the Guangyuan Palace:

"King Qiyu, Lu Sima has 100,000 urgent military reports."

Yan Ping said quickly, Jiang Yu's scalp was numb, and he said:

"Let him enter the temple."

"No!"

When Lu Gao entered the hall when he was young, Jiang Yu asked him in a deep voice:

"General Lu, it's news from the three counties."

"King Qiyu, the eldest grandson sent a red cloud beacon fire, just crossed the Yongxing River two moments ago, and it must not take long to reach the Lingling."

Before the words fell, Tan Le sneered:

"Nonsense, the Red Cloud Beacon Tower has spread fire from south to north since ancient times, how can there be a reason to spread fire from north to south"

Gao Xun was also puzzled, he asked:

"My country has signed a credential with Jin Xuedi, why did he come to commit it!"

The next moment, Lu Gao didn't even look at it, completely ignoring Tan Le, he said:

"Lord Xiangguo, have you forgotten that the Marquis of Yongxing has repeatedly warned the princes that the armpit people are about to go south, and the beacon fire from the eldest grandson this time is very likely to be the fire warning from the eldest grandson who was attacked by the armpits, and it will not take long for the messenger of the eldest grandson to arrive in Chenling, and our country should immediately stop the civil strife and turn into wartime."

At this time, Jiang Yu said:

"Did someone accidentally ignite the news of the false alarm of the beacon fire?"

"Although it is not ruled out, such cases are very rare, only two times in history have they been known by human negligence, three have been caused by lightning strikes, and they have not been seen in nearly 100 years."

Regarding Lu Gao's warning, King Xian disagreed, saying:

"If there has been a mistake, it cannot be concluded that the beacon fire originated from the eldest grandson, and immediately send people to inspect along the way to ask for details."

"Great King, at present, the whole country is in turmoil, shaking the country's foundation, the princes' forces are secretly operating rampantly, and the rest of the talents of our country are bought and co-opted, and even bǎng jià are not quelled, it is very likely that the national rebellion will be repeated thirty-five years ago, and I also ask the king to release the Marquis of Yongxing as soon as possible to follow the hearts of the people."

In fact, Lu Gao was only half right, and the final result could only be a national rebellion, but it was more serious than the nature of the rebellion, it was a revolution, a capitalist revolution. The emancipated peasants and merchants had gained unprecedented vitality, and it was no longer possible for them to accept the rule imposed by the personal will of the monarch and the magnates, and the only way to end was a great revolution that swept the whole country and wiped out the aristocratic forces.

Lu Gao's warning upset Jiang Zhen, who said:

"The widow knows, General Lu should step aside."

"The society of the country is important, the king of the minister should not be obsessed anymore, and the minister has retired."

Lu Gao bowed, then turned to leave. After he left, Jiang Yu asked Yanping:

"General Yan, what did Lu Sima say, what did the general think?"

"Back to the king, the minister thinks that even if it is not true, it must not be believed, it is better to be careful. But in the current situation, I am afraid that we cannot take care of foreign countries. ”

At this time, Gao Xun said:

"King, our country is located in the southeast of Changsun, and the military disaster will not affect the mainland, so you might as well wait for news despite its changes."

Xiangguo was reasonable, so he waited for a few days. Lord Tan, go to Qianfang as soon as possible, and order the Marquis of Xuan Pavilion to come to see the widow. ”

"No!"

Jiang Zhen saw that Qiao Lian's purpose was very clear, that is, the deposit of the state treasury in Qianfang, and Jiang Yu wanted to use this money to pay for his "reform".

However, two quarters of an hour later, the news of Lu Gao's entry into the palace reached the harem, and Xihuan was taken aback:

"What, Red Cloud Beacon!"

"Yes, the queen, it is rumored that the eldest grandson lit the beacon fire, and it will burn to the tomb." Ji Jinsheng's face was blue, and he almost didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Then, does that mean that the armpit people attacked the eldest grandson!" Xihuan asked guessingly, but she would rather not believe it.

"Back to Your Highness, I'm afraid that it's not just as simple as an attack, if it's not a false alarm, it means that the armpit people not only landed on the eldest grandson, but also attacked so much that the eldest grandson asked the princes for help."

"Crazy, it must be crazy, half a year ago, half a year ago, the world was safe, and now it's only been a few months, provoking the princes to move."

Xihuan looked quite panicked, she stroked her forehead and began to regret the house arrest of Bailiyan, and the next moment she said:

"What should this palace do now?"

"King Xian can't listen to everyone's advice, and I'm afraid he can't stop the chaos. Moreover, in addition to the Bailiyan forces, Luhou, Xuanting, and all the military departments have not taken any countermeasures, which is strange. ”

"Strange? No wonder. ”

"Bailiyan is under house arrest, King Xian easily cut off the stumbling block, but Xuanting, Luhou and the cabinet did not exert fierce pressure, isn't it strange that the queen thinks."

"King Xian put Baili Yan under house arrest in the name of keeping filial piety, what can Xuanting, Luhou and the cabinet say. Besides, now that the cabinet is on leave, isn't it stubbornly resisting the King of Xian. ”

"That's a good word, but according to the investigation of his subordinates, the three families of Luhou, Xuanting, and Yongxing have not had any substantive activities in the past few months, and they are still engaged in commercial transactions in an orderly manner, and they have not even contacted the garrisons of various towns, so it is obviously abnormal to be so calm. And under the fact that Bailiyan did not take countermeasures, Xianguo became what it is now, and it was purely the fault of King Xian. ”

"Hiss......" Xihuan was taken aback when she heard the news, and she hurriedly said: "General Ji is saying that Bailiyan knew that King Xian would do this when he ascended the throne, so there was no need for him to do anything at all, and King Xian was undoubtedly defeated." ”

Although Ji Jinsheng didn't want to admit it, he still nodded:

"The subordinates thought that it should be so. And today's Baili Yan is the safest, it did not move a soldier to make a penny, it plunged the whole country into chaos, the new monarch lost his trust and morality, this is the most clever, but at the same time it is also the most terrible place, things have developed here, we are all defeated.

Now is not the best time to seize Yongxing, if we can't quell the Xian civil strife as soon as possible, and the armpit people go south, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. The eldest grandson still began to ask for help, who can the Central Plains ask for help. ”

Ji Jinsheng had already seen through the curtain carefully arranged by Bailiyan at this time, and was developing in an unpredictable direction, the more closely he looked, the more he couldn't see through what Bailiyan wanted. But Ji Jinsheng knew that in this struggle that lasted for more than four months, everyone failed, and the only winner was Bai Liyan. Ji Jinsheng can have a hunch that this is just the beginning.
