Chapter 290: The Court's Argument
At present, Zhang Kegong was scolded back, and then he was suppressed by Uncle Zhang's eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But obviously the emperor wanted to slip away again, and with Cai Jing's understanding of the emperor, the emperor basically forgot the topic of everyone's impeachment of Gao Fangping just now.
So he seized the opportunity and Cai Jing came out for the first time.
Seeing that this handsome old guy's hair was all white, Zhao Ji was still very grateful to Lao Cai, so he had to stop playing and say softly: "What does the master say?" ”
Cai Jing said: "Zhang Kegong is out of place, and this is an exaggeration. The Gao family's loyalty, hard work, and merit to the royal family should not be questioned casually. ”
Zhao Ji smiled and said: "That's it, the master is reasonable." ”
Cai Jing immediately said: "But Your Majesty is benevolent and gentle, and he has never treated the Gao family badly, so you don't owe them." Therefore, we should not blindly indulge them for the sake of their merits and hard work. On the whole, He Zhizhong and Zhang Kegong's rhetoric is a little exaggerated, but as far as the government affairs hall knows, there is no ground, and what they have done is indeed there. ”
Gao Yu wanted to slaughter Lao Cai in the past, but the damn emperor forgot about it, but Lao Cai came back again.
Now that he was reminded, Zhao Ji remembered what He Zhizhong and Zhang Kegong had just said, so he said with some worry: "Is it true?" ”
Cai Jing said: "This is indeed the case. Lao Chen thought that this was not too much of a problem. Governing is not static, and sometimes it is necessary for parents and officials to govern according to the actual situation and local conditions. Gao Fangping did a good job in this regard, to a certain extent, he abolished the salt tax and carbon tax, but made up for it in other places, and the tax revenue of the imperial court increased unabated. But Your Majesty, what Zhang Kegong and He Zhizhong said also has their own reasons. The salt tax and carbon tax were the mainstays of the country's finances, and although Gao Fangping had a different governing style and succeeded in taking a different path, it did not mean that others could succeed. If we blindly indulge in it, subvert the foundation and authority of the imperial court, and cause the rest of the consuls to follow suit, it will put our court's finances in danger. This is an indisputable fact. ”
After a pause, Cai Jing said slowly: "In addition, Yuncheng is long outside, and thousands of fugitives are gathered in time, and the Yongle Army does not pursue and punish them, maybe Gao Fangping has his special reasons and reasons, but this will have an impact on the overall political environment of the dynasty after all, and the old minister thinks that this move cannot be advocated, if the fugitive can avoid the tax of the dynasty without paying the price, then the old minister should be careful that there will be more and more people who resist the tax......"
Uncle Zhang came out of the queue and interrupted: "Avoid the important and light, nonsense." Your Majesty, the old minister has another point of view, another interpretation. ”
Cai Jing said on the surface that Gao Fangping's approach was understandable, but in fact, he successfully attracted Zhao Ji's attention and scared Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji is a person who is greedy for money and likes harmony, of course, he doesn't want more and more people to resist taxes and run away, so he was really scared by Lao Cai. But between the good impression of Xiao Gao in the past, Zhao Ji was still a little reluctant to admit that Gao Fangping was messing around.
Hearing Zhang Shuye's different interpretations, Zhao Ji was also very happy and said: "Zhang Qing said quickly, I happen to be very concerned about these issues. ”
Uncle Zhang said: "The situation that Taishi said generally exists, and it is the truth. However, the Taishi failed to dissect the truth to His Majesty. The salt tax and carbon tax are indeed the foundation of our finances. But on the whole, it is on the heavy side, and the rich regions can afford it, but it does not mean that all regions can afford it. The old minister happened to think that this was Gao Fangping's governance according to local conditions. Yuncheng is not rich, and the people are relatively strong, so there are many powerful and cottage villages, one of the main reasons is that the law is severe and they cannot afford the heavier taxes. Gao Fangping's policy strategy, there is no problem with the overall direction, there is not only the theory of the demon star in the world, but in fact, there is a tumor like eight hundred miles of water has formed a rebellion. In this case, excessive taxation is the soil that increases the momentum of water podging. Lao Chen believes that in the treatment of the tumor of Shuibo, Gao Fangping is the opposite, and changing the water and soil environment from the source to make the tumor bigger is the best way to cure the root cause. ”
Zhao Ji listened to what Lao Zhang said very reasonably, but it sounded like he would lose a lot of taxes, so Zhao Ji, who had always been greedy for money, didn't say that Xiao Gao was wrong, but only asked worriedly: "In order to treat the cancer of the Demon Star, Zhang Qing, you tell me honestly, how much tax will Gao Fangping lose from me?" ”
Uncle Zhang said with a strange expression: "There is a lot of money, on the contrary, his monthly financial and tax income is more than that of other states." ”
Zhao Ji smiled crookedly when he heard it. Although he didn't hold the money in his hand yet, he liked to hear such good things, and said with a smile: "Now I can rest assured, Xiao Gao is always an expert." At present, there are people everywhere who say that the money is not enough, and everywhere they ask me for tax exemption, and my queen has always been frugal, and she has also ordered the imperial city to be reduced by one level, which makes me complain. It's not that I'm stingy, but I've heard a lot of similar things, and I always feel that the dynasty is not rich enough. In this case, with Xiao Gao, an expert in making money, to share my worries, I can rest assured. ”
"......" Cai Jing and Uncle Zhang looked at each other at night, and they were speechless to the emperor, and when they heard that there was money to be made, they ignored everything else, and there was no one left.
Cai Jing hurriedly talked about the reason that Zhang Kegong found again, and said: "Gao Fangping's fiscal and tax ability is indeed unquestionable, Your Majesty is happy, and the imperial court will no longer pursue this matter and allow Yuncheng to act cheaply." But the purpose of his visit to Yuncheng was to watch over Shuibo on behalf of His Majesty and deter the Shuibo Demon Star that plagued the world. Zhang Kegong couldn't make it clear earlier, but in fact, the old minister was also worried about it, and he didn't show the color of the water for a long time, which was afraid that it would be detrimental to the stability of the world. It may be difficult to change others, but Gao Fangping was born a general, and he is famous for his courage and good fighting, and delaying the bandits' decisive battle is really detrimental to the majesty of the imperial court. Lao Chen didn't question Xiao Gao's loyalty, but he couldn't understand such an arrangement. ”
Zhao Ji didn't understand military affairs at all, so he looked at his most trusted general, Gao Yu.
Gao Yu was dizzy for a while, he didn't even know much about military affairs than Zhao Ji, and the sweat of Dou Da suddenly rolled down from his forehead, and he hurriedly stepped backwards on the Planter Dao.
The seed master quickly approached Gao Yu before coming out of the queue and whispered, "You owe me three hundred guan." ”
Lao Gao was relieved when he heard this, and nodded slightly as if he was not bad for money.
Zhao Ji saw that the angry rascal of the seed master Dao came out, and he wanted to interrupt Gao Taiwei's speech, so he said with some displeasure: "Does the old seed Qing family have any experience? ”
Gao Yu said with a smile: "Your Majesty can rest assured, the three generations of the family are all masters of the art of war, and the master usually has a lot of discussions with the old minister, many of his ideas and the art of war, after the old minister's mention and check, on the whole, it is still passable, you can listen to what he has to say, if there is anything unfinished, the old minister will be responsible for the check." ”
“……”
The officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not practice martial arts, and they all wanted to drag Gao Yu down and beat him to death to relieve their hatred.
Only the master Dao likes Lao Gao very much, and the houses he lives in are all Lao Gao, and Lao Gao did give him the opportunity to show his face in front of the emperor, and he also gave a bonus of 300 yuan in the snow, so the master Dao thinks that Gao Yu is a very righteous gangster. I am afraid that the Dao of the Seed Master is the person who can accept gangsters and hooligans the most in the entire court.
After YY, the planter said with a white-haired look: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the so-called art of war is actually not mysterious, it is nothing more than four words: be careful." The key to a war is not actually a decisive battle, which is often just a simple and crude flesh and blood, which passes in a few days, or even shorter. However, the preparations before the war, the deployment of troops, the logistical arrangements for grain, grass, ordnance, positions, etc., the collection, summarization, and analysis of news, all of which are intertwined, true and false, all require the main general to inquire into every detail, select and employ people, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of his subordinates, and make overall plans, and so on, and so on, these affairs are the most time-consuming and protracted. Depending on the situation, according to the experience of the old minister, even if it is a duel of millions of troops, it may end within seven days, but the preparation and strategizing before the war even need to be deduced to several years ago. In other words, for a mature and qualified commander to win a war, he needs to start preparing for it years in advance. In fact, this is the true meaning of 'raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while'. ”
After a pause, the seed master said again: "Yuncheng faces eight hundred miles of water, and I don't know the specific situation, which is why we need Gao Fangping to know the army." However, judging from the current situation, the initiative has always been held by Gao Fangping, and in Jeju, the harm of rebellion and bandits has not only increased but decreased, which has already explained the necessity and significance of the deployment of the Yongle Army in Shuibo. As for whether the time is ripe for battle, the old minister believes that this point cannot be judged by the imperial court, but by Gao Fangping, a minister appointed by Your Majesty. ”
Zhao Ji sounded reasonable, but the military affairs were not child's play, so Zhao Ji looked at Gao Yu again.
Lao Chen felt that the planter was reasonable, and he said everything that Lao Chen wanted to say, so he ...... The old minister has nothing to add. Gao Yu said shamelessly.
Zhao Ji looked at Tao Jiefu again.
Tao Jiefu, as a marshal who once led the troops, is not a mallet who doesn't understand anything, and he will not be fooled by the two hooligans of Seed Master Dao and Gao Yu.
However, on the whole, although Lao Tao knew that the seed master was talking nonsense, Tao Jiefu knew that Gao Fangping was also a person who understood the army, and of course Liangshan was not as serious as the seed master said, and he had to prepare for several years. However, Tao Jiefu was sure that in terms of Gao Fangping's obscenity, he must have another battle plan, and the imperial court should not point fingers at the guards in front when they did not know the specific situation.
So Tao Jiefu really didn't want to be in the same stream as the Seed Master Dao, but he was also forced to nod helplessly and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and in general, the Seed Master Dao is reasonable." The specific situation should be handed over to Gao Fangping, the commander of the Yongle Army. ”
It seems that this problem has been set at this point, and Zhang Shuye and Zhang Shangying glanced at each other worriedly.
The trouble this time is that Cai Jingshi is too insidious, and he brought such a rhythm to "kill" Gao Fangping.
Although it seems to be suppressed, in fact, the two Lao Zhang understand that under the control of Cai Jing's rhythm, they have successfully aroused the emperor's expectation of "Gao Fangping's decisive battle against Shuibo", and some people have emphasized more than once that "Gao Fangping is brave and good, and it is easy to defeat Shuibo". Seriously, this concept was also accepted by the emperor.
Once such a concept is very bad in his heart, Gao Fangping will just take out the answer sheet, and once there is a moth, or the result is not as good as the emperor expected, there will be the effect of the discussion of the continuous rain just now, under the premise that the emperor thinks that "the situation is very good, Gao Fangping is brave and good at fighting", Gao Fangping even if he handed over 80 points of the answer sheet is not a credit, if it is low, such as 70 points in the past passing the answer sheet, it will become a sin in this climate.
