326 Matters of the court
"Lord Qian, the Hongmen people have hit us in front of our eyes, are you still thinking about these yellow and white things, is it interesting?"
Yu Shi Ye Yingzhen stood up and spoke directly to squeeze Qian Qianyi, the head of the household department.
"Hehe, without these yellow and white things, you let the soldiers fighting on the front line drink the northwest wind, and you go and use your three-inch tongue to persuade the merchants below to donate grain and grass materials for free?"
Qian Qianyi didn't look at the vanguard of the main battle faction at all, and cashed it back in a few words.
"Your Majesty, if you want to say something discouraged at this happy moment, it is really my finances that are really difficult, so please think twice before Your Majesty acts."
"The minister thinks that Lord Qian is alarmist and should be killed!"
Huang Gongfu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was old, but his temperament was particularly violent, and as one of the main generals of the main battle faction, he was furious on the spot, and in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, he glared at Qian Qianyi with an aggressive vision.
"Now is the time when the army of my Ming Dynasty is inspired, there are hundreds of thousands of elite divisions of Sun Chuanting's Inspector Division, and there is the heart of my Manchu Dynasty with the same hatred of the enemy.
"Lord Huang, you beast and soldier knower, you should understand the principle that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, but now the grain and grass in the treasury of our household department can't even take out 100,000 stones, what do you say you will fight in this battle? Do you rely on the soldiers to fight hungry? ”
"You're a cowardly ......"
"You're derelict ......"
A scolding war began, and what was supposed to be a happy celebration scene suddenly turned into a farce, with more and more duplicitous members joining in, and it was extremely noisy.
"Smack! Above the temple, so absurd, when I don't exist, don't I exist? ”
Emperor Chongzhen, who was on the dragon chair, finally spoke, and as he grew older, his majesty became more and more heavy, and his speech at this time seemed to be not high, but it suddenly made all the ministers present shut up and bow solemnly.
Now Chongzhen, the spirit and spirit have been gone, and the faces left above the high hall are already extremely weak even when they say these few words.
There was just a minor illness earlier, but he will not be well until now, compared to his opponent, Li Tianyang, the former king of the South China Sea, if the two stand together, they are completely two looks.
However, the more the body deteriorates, the more calm this Chongzhen's character is, once in Beijing when he was able to depreciate dozens of important ministers of the court a year, his personality jumped out, now after moving the capital to Nanjing, the ministers above the three auxiliary six departments, but there are few changes, which is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Nanjing, the economy and politics are more united and stable than when they were in Beijing.
Of course, although he no longer belittles his subordinates at will, his imperial methods are even more clever, and he beats the six ministers of the cabinet from the two first assistants of the Ming Court to Shi Kefa.
"It's really not good, in my inner treasury, since the beginning of the past few years, I have hoarded some surplus things, and handed them over to the household department to take care of!"
"Your Majesty, that's the concubines of the palace, if you use it, you will suffer!"
Zhao Shichun, a scholar from Hanlin who was close to him, stepped forward to suggest that he try to stop Emperor Chongzhen's actions in order to show his loyalty.
"If the family and country are not there, what is the use of leaving this thing outside the body?"
Chongzhen waved his hand, and his weak arm waved, but it was full of resoluteness.
"Command!"
It was Qian Qianyi, the head of the household, who hurriedly stood up at this time and bowed down to receive the order, for fear that Chongzhen would regret it.
Only by sitting in the position of Qian Qianyi can he understand the difficulties of the imperial court's finances, why doesn't he Qian Qianyi want to go north to regain the lost territory, but the country's finances are empty, there is no money and no food, what do you let the people in the army use to fight with others!
At this time, he took the opportunity to put the matter of the household treasury on the table, firstly, he naturally hoped that the ministers of the DPRK and China would suspend the main war mood, and secondly, he was actually eyeing the private money of Emperor Chongzhen of the Inner Treasury.
Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.
Don't look at Emperor Chongzhen's royal property, many of them suffered a lot of losses after the capture of Beijing, but after arriving in Jiangnan, the group of eunuchs under Emperor Chongzhen couldn't do anything else, but when it came to the means of looting silver, it was particularly powerful.
With the elimination of the imperial court's ban on the sea, the Ministry of Internal Affairs through the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and other subordinate businesses, a large amount of silver into their hands, although everyone also has a full pocket, but at least more than half of it still flowed into Chongzhen's pocket.
Who let Chongzhen suffer from no money when he was in Beijing, and even borrowed money from the princes and ministers below to survive in the most difficult time, and now that the finances are finally relaxed, he naturally has to let his private money a little more in case of emergency.
However, now Chongzhen has even taken out the private money he has worked so hard to accumulate, although he has not spoken out so far, his attitude has already been revealed.
"My body, my deterioration, it is estimated that there is not much time left, I don't want to go to see my ancestors and ancestors, and be spurned by them!"
Although the voice was low, it fell into the ears of the ministers present, but it was extremely harsh!
"Your Majesty, you still have to watch your ministers recover the eighteen states of Yanyun!"
"Your Majesty!"
“……”
A group of ministers fell to their knees one after another, in fear.
Chongzhen's poor health is certainly a matter on the surface, and even the palace doctor who knows his body the most is not accurate, but now that Chongzhen himself said this, what does it mean, there is a group of old and mature ministers in the court, who did not immediately understand something.
"Spread my will, the governor of Jinchuan and Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting, the prince and the prince, reward a thousand taels of silver, forge a thousand horses, and one of his sons is a hereditary brocade cloth guard thousand households......"
"Reward the three armies, how to promote the soldiers with outstanding military achievements in each division, and you will come up with a charter from the household department."
"Quelling the rebellion of the henchmen, Sun Chuanting Aiqing and they live up to my expectations, the reward should be sooner rather than later, and you can't be stingy with money!"
"Obey the order!"
It was not easy to get the silver in Chongzhen's inner treasury, but he didn't think that Chongzhen would let most of the silver he got gotten out of his hands, and how much could he leave in the end, even Qian Qianyi himself had no bottom.
But looking at Chongzhen's eyes, which were a little faint but extremely firm, Qian Qianyi could only give in, could he still resist Chongzhen's will and insist on going alone?
"However, in addition to the reward, all Aiqing also have to be prepared, I still think that the eradication of the Hongmen traitors should be sooner rather than later!"
"Obey the order!!"
The court discussed it, and soon the news spread, flying like an arrow towards the existence above the South Sea.
