20. The fairy mountain is in danger

Yang Yan immediately replied to the emperor and said: "For the livelihood of the people in the world, the two envoys of the branch and the transfer can be abolished now......"

"Oh?" Li Shi said he was very surprised.

"After Emperor Daxing enters the mountain mausoleum, His Majesty can gather the court deacons in the Zichen Palace, and the ministers can talk in detail.

After Yang Yan said goodbye, in the small room in the side hall of the palace, Bai Zhizhen and Lu Qi in the imperial history walked out, Bai Zhizhen was the previous Bai Xiuqi, and after taking charge of the Shence army, he was given the name by Li Shi and changed to "Zhizhen".

"What did Yang Menlang say?" The Emperor consulted the two confidants.

Originally, he was going to consult Mr. Zhang She, but since Qiao Lin was deposed by Gao Yue's bullet for talking nonsense, the emperor has been a little estranged from Zhang She.

Lu Qi was silent, but in fact, he was instigated in his heart, and he had already secretly colluded with Cui Ning (behind him was his son-in-law Gao Yue), just waiting for the right opportunity to speak; And Bai Zhizhen told the emperor frankly: "If you do what Yang Menlang said, ninety percent of the country's wealth will be in Zuozang from now on." ”

"So what?"

At this time, Lu Qi took over the conversation leisurely: "Your Majesty's inner treasury private collection also has a purpose, in addition to the palace funds, it must also be supplied to the army and given at critical moments; In addition, if Yang Menlang's suggestion is followed, as expected by the White Army Envoy, all the taxes and rice in the world will be under the control of Nanya. "Lu Qi is a treacherous and ruthless character, Gao Yue is right to tie him up, this is not a false moral name, he directly cuts into the emperor's heart from the interests and harms, and hits the nail on the head.

Sure enough, Lu Qi's seemingly casual words couldn't help but make the emperor's heart move, and he secretly thought, "What Lu Ziliang said seems to be right!" ”

If the interests that originally belonged to the Great Ying Treasury are transferred back to the household department, it does sound beneficial to the country at first glance, but Li Shi is a shrewd person, and once Bai and Lu reminded him, he understood: Han Wei and Du You are now serving in the household department, so Yu is the secretary of the household department, and the emperor also knows that they are all close to Yang Yan. Then after that, the wealth will be in the hands of the Southern Yazai, and there will be 500,000 silk cloths left in their own treasury every year, and a silk cloth is 3,000 to 4,000 Wen, so it is about 1.5 million to 2 million yuan of savings, and this time the Shence recruited the camp into Shu, and the military expenditure is as much as 300,000 Guan, so once you need money in an emergency, you will really be stretched, so wouldn't you have to ask the Nan Yazai to borrow it?

But now in Li Shi's heart, for the time being, he still regards this as a "secondary contradiction", because Yang Yan is Yuan Zai's person after all, and Yuan Zai firmly supported him as the crown prince at the beginning, according to this relationship, he gave up announcing that his prestige and voice are very high Li Mi entered Beijing as the prime minister, just because Li Mi fought with Yuan Zai in his early years - now in Li Shi's eyes, as long as he has a bad relationship with Yuan Zai, there are some suspicions of "Han Wang Party".

So the "main contradiction" is still now in the hands of Liu Yan, compared to Yang Yan, Liu Yan, who has a strong color of the Han Wang Party, makes Li Shi even more uncomfortable.

"Liu Yan, I want to see how you do right away?"

In the South Park, after Gao Yue said the true purpose of Yang Yan's reform, he directly bowed deeply to Liu Yan and said loudly:

"Now I can make a plan for the prime minister, and I have been brewing in the chest of the third year of high school for a long time, but I want the prime minister to listen to it!"

Liu Yan had already been shocked into a cold sweat in the previous conversation, although he had already prepared for Yang Yan's frame, but he still stayed at the level of ordinary "open and secret fighting", if it wasn't for Gao Yue to come to alert him, he was as shrewd as he didn't expect that Yang Yan might have such sinister intentions hidden in His Majesty's generous statement, but now he still has a question.

"Yisong, what is Yang Yan going to do, why can you know in advance?"

Gao Yue paused, and thought in his heart, "Yan Xiang, Yan Xiang, this is all burning eyebrows, why do you still care about these insignificant details?" ”

But verbally, Gao Yue just pushed the pot to his father-in-law, saying that Cui Ning had eyes and ears and grasped Yang Yan's movements in time, and now Yang Yan cited Han Rong, Han Huan, Du You, these officials who are proficient in financial management, must be making a fuss about Qian Gu.

If it weren't for Yi Song's words, if the old man hadn't prepared, and argued with Yang Yan face to face in the palace, I was afraid that he would really fall for his tricks. So, what do you want to say now? ”

Gao Yue didn't beat around the bush either, and directly shouted out his strategy:

"Please make the first to promote Taishan, who is in the third year of high school, as the imperial doctor, and give up Du Ya, because Du Ya has coveted the position of Zai Zhi for a long time in his early years, and he is too attention-grabbing, I am afraid that Yang Yan will arrange people to search for his mistakes, such as recommending Du Ya, but will be subject to Yang Yan;

In addition, if there is a court meeting, please retreat and take the initiative to give up all rights! ”

As soon as Gao Yue's last sentence came out, Liu Yan couldn't help but tremble all over his body, "It's really a wolf and a tiger in front of me, if I don't let go of my power, I'm afraid it will cause the emperor to be jealous, and I will really die without a place to be buried; But if you give up your rights, and then you will be like fish on the chopping board, afraid that you will not be slaughtered? ”

Gao Yue saw Liu Yan's hesitant look, and couldn't help but be eager, and said, "Minister, I'm afraid that when the Linghu Lishou advised the Holy Lord not to bury the Daxing Emperor in the palace of the Zhengya, the Holy Lord's suspicion had already sprouted, and at this time, you can't continue to hesitate!" ”

What the? Yes, yes, Gao Yue's court meeting with Chang Gong made Hu Xiang advise the emperor before that the funeral of Emperor Daxing should be in accordance with the spirit of his own will, and everything should be simple.

At that time, Li Shi readily agreed, and praised Ling Huxiang for "not only the disadvantages of me, but also the beauty of me".

Thinking about it now, I was really afraid, and what Li Shi might have thought in his heart at that time was: "Was Ling Huxiang's speech arranged by Liu Yan?" Could it be that I want to use the money in the treasury to bury my father, and I will also be constrained by you? ”

Thinking of this, Liu Yan couldn't help but close his eyes, remembering a long, long time ago, when Emperor Xuanzong was still in the world, he was only eight years old and sat on Concubine Yang's lap, and under the palace was the palace workshop Wang Damiang was performing the "hundred-foot pole play": Wang Damiang had a long pole on her head, and the pole was crowned with the wooden "abbot" and "Dongying" two "fairy mountains", a child who was about the same age as him at the time, stood on the "fairy mountain", holding the Jiangjie dancing and dancing, bringing joy to the dignitaries and nobles with beauty and thrill, at that time Concubine Yang also asked him to write a poem for this scene:

The hundreds of plays in front of the building compete for the new, only the long rod is wonderful.

Who said that Qiluo turned powerfully, and he still thought that he was more light.

He was young at the time, and he only saw the lively and beautiful play of 100 feet, and now he is over the age of six, he finally understands: he has held the power of the world for twenty or thirty years, and he calls himself "the prime minister of saving the time", but in the end, he is not like the child who juggles a hundred plays, risking his life on the long pole and dancing, and he may fall down at any time and break his bones......

The child on the long pole, I don't know that after so many ups and downs, he is still alive?

"Over the years, the capital has become bigger and bigger, but the old man's body bones have become heavier and heavier, and he still thinks he is lighter and more attractive, and he still thinks he is lighter and more attractive......" Liu Yan smiled, and then helped Gao Yue up.
