The officials in the five rooms of the political hall were all around Dou Shen, and asked in surprise, the court has always used soldiers, and all the expenses have been supplied by the branch department, and now the money of the household department is added, and now the Marquis of Qi directly takes money from the treasury and the inner treasury to the emperor, and then he runs the camp three yamen to coordinate the spending, this, this, in short, is that the military marshal bypassed you, the Zhongshu Shilang Pingzhang, then what is the significance of the prime minister taking care of the treasury in the future?

Frankly speaking, Dou Shen was also angry.

Gao Yue just asked me for money, and directly used the emperor to reach out to the treasury to ask for money, and this will be the case in the future, so isn't the prime minister in charge of the national economy a decoration?

Dou Shen instructed the two brothers, Wu Tongxuan and Wu Tongwei, who were scholars of Hanlin, to speak beside the emperor, saying that Gao Yue's move was inconsistent with political reasoning and could not be let go.

As a result, the emperor was very unhappy, and warned the Wu brothers on the spot, you two can concentrate on drafting the edict, this kind of national policy is decided by me and the minister, and there is no need for you to say more.

This is also equivalent to the emperor letting go of the wind, "If you let Gao Yue go away, I will let you clean up the mess." ”

Dou Shen was helpless, but someone came to the door.

This person is "Little Pei Bachelor", that is, Si Nong Shaoqing Pei Yanling.

It turned out that Pei Yanling was Lu Qi's dog-headed military advisor, and he also had advice from the murder of Yang Yan, after Lu died, he was so scared that he hibernated for several years, and then he once wanted to climb Gao Yue, but Gao Yue was far away from the center, and had been staying in Xingyuan and Fengxiang.

After hearing this, Pei Yanling smiled and said to Dou Shen: "This 3.5 million guan must be given to Gao Yue, if he is not given to him, if the Holy Lord asks who can preside over the overall situation of destroying the party, dare to ask Dou Zhonglang if there is a suitable candidate?" ”

Dou Shen was silent, whether it was Liu Xuanzuo or Li Jingluo, who he had high hopes for, they all dropped the chain at a critical time.

So Pei Yanling said, this money is used by the Holy Lord to Gao Yue to rule Wancheng, Zhonglang, if you are not satisfied, you have to take over this burden, but you can't take it, isn't this offending the Holy Lord for no reason?

"Then with Xiao Pei's high opinion, what can you do?"

"It's not difficult for Gao Yue to destroy the party, and the 3.5 million yuan is given to him. But if we come to do this when we are harvesting, it will be difficult for him, maybe he will be annoyed and angry, and then he will show his flaws......" Pei Yanling stuck to Dou Shen's side at this time and made a gesture.

The next day, Dou Shen entered the Zichen Palace, and in front of the emperor, he happily agreed to allocate special funds for the needs of the imperial camp and Pingqiang.

However, Dou Shen said that the money came from the Duzhi Division.

This abacus played very loudly - the three divisions in charge of finance are originally Dou Shen Guandu Branch Division and Household Division, and Ban Hong is in charge of Salt and Iron Division.

The degree branch division is mainly the normal tax of the world, that is, the two taxes, and the salt profits of Hedong and Sanchuan (the profits of several salt ponds in Shuofang are enjoyed by several systems of Shuofang's army);

The household money of the Household Department was set up by Li Mi, and the source of wealth was the additional tax on the acres of land (green seedling money), the income of the official fields and vocational fields of the prefectures and counties, and the sword and horse money of the national state assassin history (the additional allowance received by the assassin history in the name of managing the military, each assassin was about 70 yuan per month, and was later forcibly removed by Li Mi, and this money was included in the household money), the money of the officials and foreign officials, and the money except for the mo;

Finally, the salt and iron division, the most important source at this time has not changed, is still the salt profit in the southeast of Jianghuai.

The earliest Dou Shen Guandu Branch Division and Household Department Division were originally Han Rong's subordinate squire Ban Hongguan Salt and Iron Division.

But since Gao Yue led the friendly army of the imperial camp Tu Qiang to come, because he was not on good terms with Dou Shen, he asked the emperor to let Ban Hong supply the army, so the roles of the two prime ministers were transferred: Ban Hong went to the branch department, and Dou Shen was in charge of the household department and the salt and iron department.

What's more, Dou Shen once promised Ban Hong that after a year, I will return the power of the three divisions to you (there is only a ghost).

Now Dou Shen promised to give Gao Yue 3.5 million yuan, and he pretended to be face-saving, but he asked the Ban Hongdu branch to bear the money, but his own household department and salt and iron division were "iron roosters".

Not only that, in order to eradicate Ban Hong's team in the Salt and Iron Division, Dou Shen also instructed Yushitai to impeach Xu Cang, the prefect of the Yangtze Patrol Academy, seize the evidence of Xu's corruption, and demand that Xu Cang be removed and sent to Yushitai for questioning. As for who would accept the Yangtze Patrol later, Dou Shen strongly recommended Pei Yanling to the emperor, and asked him to concurrently serve as the Jianghuai transfer envoy.

At this time, Dou Shen thought he had a plan:

The degree branch division is drained, weakening Banhong's right to speak; In addition, by curing Xu Cang's crime and connecting it, he can not only take the opportunity to move Ban Hong, but also completely master the key department of the Salt and Iron Division and the Jianghuai Transfer Envoy, so that the day when he will be in charge of the three divisions alone is not far away!

But in private, Gao Yue's entry into Beijing this time was, of course, with Ban Hong, who had a common enemy, hit it off.

The political faction against Dou Shen is also setting up a stage to sing.

Not only Ban Hong participated, but even Huainan Jiedu made Du Ya also participated.

Gu Xiu of Taofen Peng came to the capital before, and had a secret meeting with Gao Yue and Ban Hong as a well-known member of the Jinju Academy, Gu Xiu asked: "Staff Officer Dou used his clan father Dou to seize the festival of Huainan, where did Banmenlang and Gao Qi come from?" ”

Gao Yue said: "Invited by Ban Menlang, Du Ya can be transferred from Huainan Jiedu to Henan Yin, which is not a loss, but it must not be allowed to take over the Jingjie, and the servant will nominate one person to extinguish Dou Shen's thoughts." ”

Sure enough, and then around the topic of how to deal with the "Yangtze Patrol Yuan Xu Cang's corruption", the emperor asked again in the Yanying Palace, Gao Yue had been awarded the post of "Tongping Zhangshi", and he also entered the cabinet with the ruling ministers.

didn't say anything, Dou Shen went straight to the point, fiercely impeached Xu Cang, and then accused Huainan Jiedu of making Du Ya, "Huainan is one of the largest towns in the world, and the former Chen Shaoyou was burdensome in taxation, extravagant, and plundered by the rebel general Wang Shao's rebellious soldiers; The people of Huainan hoped that Duya would be able to reform the old evils and restore Kangning. However, Duya is located in Yangzhou, and there are many political affairs committees to participate in attracting guests and talking loudly. Du Ya'an was charged with "broad" and "ungovernmental", and asked the emperor to deprive Du Yahuai of the Southern Festival, and dispose of the position of an idle branch in the Eastern Capital.

To tell the truth, when Emperor Li Shi had just ascended the throne, because Du Ya was very famous, he once wanted Du Ya to be the imperial historian and Tongping Zhangshi (see above), but later found that Du Ya was not a good person, and it was actually difficult to deserve under his reputation, and he was very disappointed.

"According to Dou Zhonglang's opinion, who is the right person to go to Huainan Yangzhou?"

Dou Shen didn't say anything politely, and said that Dou Qian had made great contributions to quelling Li Huaiguang's rebellion and could be the new Huainan Jiedu envoy, while Sinong Shaoqing Pei Yanling was shrewd and could know the Yangzi Patrol Hospital.

As soon as he heard this, Gao Yue became angry, what kind of conch are you blowing? Still "made a great contribution"? Isn't it just that when your waste clan father Dou Coveted the history of Dangfangzhou, he once pulled up seven or eight hundred soil regiments, and ordered Dai Xiuyan to lower his defense in Weibei Jiedu, this is a great achievement, then my exploits when I was sown in Fengtian, wouldn't I be able to go to heaven?

At this time, the emperor asked, what objections do the other rulers have?
