Chapter 682: Surrender
"Okay, since this matter is quite controversial, let's submit it to the Holy Judge!" As he spoke, Ali Bura ordered the secretary to enclose the opinions of the ministers. It was then sent to Lee Seung-ji for review along with other excerpts.
This was the original intention of Lee Seung-ji to create the cabinet and reduce the pressure on government affairs. After all, many things don't need him to do everything. As long as you grasp the general direction well, there are people below to do the specific trivial things.
"Now let's look at the yuan bill issuance table submitted by the bank, if you have anything to say, just bring it up." Then the secretary handed out a small stack of sheets to everyone. All of the above are the bank's recent incoming gold coins, the amount of yuan banknotes issued, and the forecast of the future amount of yuan banknotes. There is also the local yuan banknote issuance data of Broken Leaves, which is also attached.
The Great Yuan was issued at the same time in Malu and Broken Leaves, one in the south and one in the north, which can be regarded as flowering in two places. The first president of Dayuan Bank was Zhang Xinglu, Zhang Timing's own son, and Li Chengji's brother-in-law. So no matter how you say this, the ministers present don't dare to be so casual. And Zhang Timing just watched quietly with the watch because of avoiding suspicion, and did not take the lead in speaking.
"The old man is not proficient in economic algorithms, so he will not be committed." , Hua Lazi said bluntly. Although he and Zhang Timing are at odds, they are fairly fair in handling official affairs. If you don't understand, you don't understand, and you won't pretend to understand and deliberately pick thorns.
Flatt understood a little and was about to speak. But a little eunuch with an order came in from outside the door and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Shuaifu has just received a battle report from West Persia. After transcribing a copy, I ordered our family to send it quickly. ”。
The heralds in the palace are all eunuchs, and they can be regarded as the eyes and ears of Li Chengji's face. For courtiers, it is also an invisible deterrent.
"There's a labor eunuch, go get it!" , Ali Bu said softly, and ordered the secretary to take it. Even if the status of the eunuchs who ordered them was not high, none of these courtiers dared to despise them. After all, it is difficult to be a good person, and it is difficult to prevent a villain.
These eunuchs are all rootless people, and their minds are uncertain. If you sin against them one day, you must not make a stumbling block in secret. In that case, you will inevitably get into trouble.
The secretary hurried to pick it up and invited the eunuch to sit down and have a cup of tea.
It's just that the other party smiled and refused: "Everyone, Da Diwan, let's get busy." We still have other things to do, so we won't stay long. ”。
Since Li Chengji didn't like the palace people and the court officials to get too close, the eunuchs and officials would not have too much contact. Except for occasional correspondence on official business, I don't socialize in private.
They also understood this truth, so they said a few words in a friendly manner, and did not stay any longer. Then look at the excerpt sent by the marshal's house, which says that Assasin sent Sultan Jalal-Din Hassan to be poisoned by four imams at a banquet, and then the grand imam Nakhin Jabalitaem led a law enforcement team to arrive in time. But Jalal-uddin Sultan has been poisoned in his heart and has no power to recover. So Nakhin Jabalitaem killed the other four imams and opened the gates of Alam to surrender.
According to the original plan, the Persian legions were supposed to raze Alam to the ground. Both the city and the people inside must be reduced to ashes. But now the other side surrendered on its own initiative, and also offered all the branch strongholds west of Persia, which made the Persian army commander Timur Anli a little embarrassed.
Therefore, all the Assasinites were only detained and awaited the disposal of Maru's side.
"The Assasins are a bunch of crazy people. In my opinion, it's better to kill a hundred. As for their branch, it's a bunch of rats hiding in the gutter. In front of the Yuan army, it's just ants. Flatt said. As a native Persian family, he felt much more deeply about the Assasinites than the other courtiers.
It can be said that any force that dares to oppose the Assasin faction will be exhausted by the steady stream of assassinations. In the end, they will reconcile with it, promising to pay tribute to the Assasin faction or cooperate with it.
Therefore, there is a chance to exterminate this group of rats that do not see the sun, and Flatt is in favor of raising his hands. Zhang Timing and Shi Mo Minan glanced at each other, understood what the other party meant, and said that they would not accept surrender. First, they were afraid of the horrific reputation of the Assasins; Second, they are also worried about themselves. Because of this force, Li Chengji will definitely be in his own hands. With the addition of the ancient Assassin organization of the Assasin faction, the Department of Affairs and the Department of National Security, they had to worry that they would die without knowing it.
This is the defensive psychology of people in a dangerous state, which has nothing to do with justice, nothing to do with selfish feelings, but only instinct. It is rare for Hua Razimi to keep pace with Zhang Timing and not accept surrender.
Ali was not surprised, and said in a loud voice: "The Assasin faction has been operating in the Crescent Land for a long time, and if we accept their surrender, it will be of great help to us in cultivating the Crescent Land in the future. Don't choke on food! ”。
"The Assasins are the most vicious and have caused such a big mess in Malu before. Even the saint dared to assassinate. Keeping them from killing, is it because they want to do evil to the saints? Zhang Timing didn't have a good airway.
In this cabinet, Zhang Timing and Hua Razi secretly dared to talk to Ali Bura so confidently. Flatt and Shi Mo Min'an are both relatively junior people, and they don't have much to rely on in the harem. Even if you have an opinion, you don't dare to say it so bluntly.
"Don't you know Zhang Diwan? They plotted against us, and they were our enemies. In the future, if you are subdued by us, you will be your own person. If done properly, they will aim their bayonets at the enemy. Could it be that Zhang Diwan has no confidence in Dayuan like this? As the first assistant, Ali Bula still has the momentum of the first assistant. Even if Zhang Timing is Li Chengji's father-in-law and Dayuan's father-in-law, he dares to go back to the past strongly.
But the two had such a dispute, and none of the ministers present could be a spectator. Shi Mo Min'an acted as a peacemaker, and hurriedly persuaded: "The two Di Wanmo are going to hurt the harmony." The disposition of this matter depends on the will of the saint, and there is no need to dispute it in this way. ”。
This is a step, and the two of them didn't go on.
It just so happened that Li Chengji's close attendant Murgo came to the council hall and said that he had something important to summon the ministers.
When he came to the south study, Li Chengji was looking at the excerpts inside. The privy envoy of the Privy Council, Shi Zhu Monk, is helping Li Chengji sort out the documents and sort out the priorities of government affairs. According to the unwritten rule, the privy envoys were to rotate between the cabinet and the south study.
It's just that today it happened to be the turn of the monk Shizhu, and I was fortunate to see Li Chengji summon five cabinet ministers to discuss the matter together.
When he saw this, he put down what he was doing and withdrew with Murgo. Normally, he doesn't have a chance to listen to such a big event.
