The little emperor only hesitated a little and said, "Luo Aiqing is willing to serve the country and fight against the stubborn, of course I am happy to see it." In this case, I will make you a general and lead your army in Jiaozhou, and in addition, I will allocate you 4,000 elite dragon soldiers and 6,000 iron cavalry for you to drive, so you should be satisfied, right? ”

So satisfied! This is not satisfied, that is, Luo Yunxiao is too greedy. Although the general is said to be a miscellaneous general, he is an official to the second grade, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful minister. It is best to be able to win a big battle this time and finally return triumphantly, so that you can obtain more capital and lay the foundation stone for your own success in the future.

Luo Yunxiao hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go to the soup and fight on the battlefield, determined not to break the enemy and never return it, in order to repay Your Majesty and the court for their kindness." ”

Jin Chengzong stroked his palm and smiled: "Okay, a good one who doesn't break the enemy will never return, it can be described as concise and to the point, to the point, I am very optimistic about you." I hope that Aiqing will be able to become my humerus minister in the future, my right-hand man. Aiqing! You're going to have to come on. "This little emperor has obviously begun to woo Luo Yunxiao.

And Luo Yunxiao also grasped this point of the little emperor as his breakthrough. Anyway, the emperor is using himself, so why is he not using the emperor? It's just a mutual use.

Luo Yunxiao became an official, and he became a big official; And he is a big official who controls the power of the army. Now he has to solve one thing first, that is, to deal with the sequelae of the guerrilla general's attack on Duxiu Mountain and the fiasco. It is estimated that this matter will soon reach the imperial court, and there will definitely be people advocating to crusade against Duxiu Mountain at that time. Therefore, Luo Yunxiao had to communicate this matter with the little emperor in advance, so that he could be prepared.

Maybe someone will bring it up at the next court. If you have the emperor's secret support, you might as well fight the officials again, and fight with reason, maybe you can improve your reputation.

Luo Yunxiao said to Jin Chengzong: "Your Majesty, can our team of Duxiu Mountain be counted as an official army now?" ”

The little emperor nodded and said, "Aiqing is already a general who is already a prisoner, and of course the soldiers under your command belong to the official army." Why did Aiqing ask such a question? ”

Luo Yunxiao said: "When Weichen was in Jinyang County, Jiaozhou County, for the well-being of the people, he opened a relatively large workshop, and the business was also quite prosperous. However, the son of a guerrilla general coveted the interests of this workshop, and even relied on his father's rights to forcibly ask for benefits, which was categorically rejected by the minister. For this reason, he became angry and brought a group of soldiers to smash the workshop, and was beaten by his subordinates. ”

So the boy was not reconciled, and finally carried out his father, a guerrilla general. And the guerrilla general, for his own selfishness, led 6,000 men and horses to attack Duxiu Mountain, oh, that is, Weichen's camp in Jinyang, Jiaozhou, of course, they were finally defeated and returned defeated. It is estimated that this news will reach the capital in the near future, and there will definitely be someone to show your majesty at that time. And will let His Majesty send troops to conquer Duxiu Mountain. Your Majesty, those soldiers in Duxiu Mountain now are all heroic soldiers who will fight at the border in the future. So"

The little emperor didn't wait for Luo Yunxiao to finish speaking, and said, "So, you want me to help you block these people's twists and turns, don't you?" ”

Luo Yunxiao said: "Not really. Weichen just wanted His Majesty to cooperate a little. When the minister argues with them, give them some appropriate encouragement. The ministers will use evidence to speak, and when the time comes, they will be speechless and have nothing to say. ”

The little emperor nodded: "Okay!" I agree to your proposal. And look forward to your performance. In addition, you have to hurry up and let that craftsman come to Beijing as soon as possible to join the company, and don't delay too long. So be it! That's it for today, so step back and get some rest. There's a good show waiting for you tomorrow morning! Hehe! ”

At the end of the day, the sky was still in a dark, and a group of civil and military officials, large and small, walked into the Jinluan Hall of the palace with sleepy faces, and started a new round of court meetings.

Entering the Jinluan Palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs were quite tacitly arranged on the left and right sides of the hall. Only one of them almost stood in the wrong position, but fortunately, the embarrassment was cleverly resolved by a hint of Liu Xiangwei in the imperial history, so he did not appear foreign, and entered the ranks of the generals on the left in time.

About 1 quarter of an hour later, Jin Chengzong finally came to the court under the guidance of 8 eunuchs, and slowly walked to the dragon chair in the center, and then sat upright in all directions.

The little emperor Sima Dezong cleared his mouth a little and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, what needs to be done at today's court meeting?" ”

The head of the court, Dazai Zhu Xin, walked out of the train, bowed down and said, "The old minister has something to report." This year, many states and counties have been hit by drought, and the number of people affected by the disaster is as high as more than 2 million. This year, 16 million stone of grain was harvested from the prefectures and counties, and the entire harvest was only about three-quarters of what it was in previous years. Except for the money to be paid to the officials and soldiers, there is not much left. If we want to meet the food rations of the more than 2 million victims, there is a shortage of at least 2 million stone of food. If this matter is not resolved, after a long time, I am afraid that it will breed public resentment, and once it is used by someone with a heart, Your Majesty, the old minister really does not dare to think about it anymore. ”

At this time, another person flashed out of the military general train. Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be the general of the chariot cavalry, Sha Baiwei. But seeing Sha Baiwei, he said proudly: "Dazai-sama is a little worried, in case there is really a civil unrest, for such a people, I will kill one when I see one, and I will not tolerate softness." As long as they kill to a certain extent, they will naturally be afraid, and the riot will be self-defeating. Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead 20,000 light cavalry and 30,000 janissaries to the disaster area, and if there is a riot, the minister will kill and eradicate these mobs. ”

Listening to this person's words and deeds, Luo Yunxiao, who was among them, immediately had a feeling of sneering. This Sabarway is completely a simple and rough butcher, he takes killing people as fun, and only kills people to solve problems, which is the most incompetent performance.

At this moment, the little emperor, who had not spoken for a long time, finally spoke: "Sha Aiqing, I feel that I have not reached that moment of last resort, and it is better not to open the killing ring." More than 2 million disaster victims, accounting for 15/15 of the population of my Great Jin, and the vast majority of them are farmers, if you kill them all like this, who will plant so much wasteland in the future? I still have to think about how to get through the difficulties first. ”

Dazai Zhu Xin said: "Your Majesty is wise. Lao Chen had already thought about it before this, there are nearly 10,000 court officials and local officials in our court, and if everyone can donate some food, it is estimated that they can make up about 400,000 stones. In addition, if a million soldiers squeeze out 1 stone of grain each, it will add another 1 million stone. Together, the two items will reach 1.4 million stones, but there is still a gap of 600,000 stones! ”
