Chapter 0686 - Wishful Thinking
Even if Yelu is willing to eat the enemy, and the officials are willing to donate money and materials, it is still a drop in the bucket.
"The minister has something to say......"
A middle-aged official in his thirties suddenly stood up and looked at his unique felt hat and fur attire, proving that he was a military general.
Xiao Tzu Lin, the capital supervisor of the Southern Courtyard, the second person in the Great Palace, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and also a close confidant of the Empress Dowager Xiao.
Seeing Xiao Tzu Rin speak, Empress Dowager Xiao's face was obviously a lot softer, "Chi Yu has a good plan?" ”
Chi Yu is Xiao Tart's cursive character.
Empress Dowager Xiao can call her affectionately above this court, which shows that she is very fond of Xiao Tzurin.
Xiao Tzu Rin nodded, bowed down and said, "Right now, the army is about to go out, but because the treasury is empty, the matter of sending troops is now in a predicament. As far as the minister knows, although my Daliao treasury is short of money, there is a place in this capital city where a lot of money is stored. ”
Xiao Tzu Rin is like waking up the person in the dream with a word.
The hundreds of officials in the court immediately thought of the place in Xiao Tzu Rin's mouth.
The officials subconsciously looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao.
It was a special place, and it was also a place that the Great Liao Dynasty couldn't control.
In this court, it seems that only Empress Dowager Xiao can barely meddle in that place.
From the eyes of the officials, Empress Dowager Xiao could easily tell what the place in Xiao Tzu Rin's mouth was.
Empress Dowager Xiao said with an unnatural expression: "You want to let the palace rob the private money of the daughters of the palace?" ”
When it really came to the time of life and death of Da Liao, Empress Dowager Xiao didn't mind robbing her daughter's private money.
It's just that at present, Daliao has not yet reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted.
The officials were reluctant to bleed, but they wanted Empress Dowager Xiao to rob her daughter's private money, which made Empress Dowager Xiao a little annoyed.
In fact, Empress Dowager Xiao has her own calculations in her heart.
In fact, she has been thinking about the money for a long time, and she wants to keep it until the little emperor grows up. When the little emperor grew up, if he wanted to sit on the throne in Daliao, he naturally had to fight a tough battle and win a battle to boost his prestige.
The reason why Empress Dowager Xiao kept that money was because she hoped to pave a smooth road for the little emperor.
However, it is clear that Baiguan is unwilling to let her get her wish.
The officials looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao's unsightly face, and they inevitably muttered in their hearts.
Because Empress Dowager Xiao didn't speak, no one could get the money out of that place.
Xiao Tzu Rin glanced at the Empress Dowager Xiao cautiously, and said in a deep voice: "Empress Dowager, now that the war is imminent, there is no other way." Zhao Guangyi summoned a million troops to attack this time, obviously with the intention of exterminating our Great Liao.
If it is because of a little money, the war will be delayed, and the war will be defeated. Then we are Daliao, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of destroying the country. ”
Xiao Tzu Rin's words are not exaggerated, they are very real.
Although there is a little selfishness mixed in it, it is more public.
After all, the Xiao family is a descendant, and they are both prosperous and lossy with Da Liao.
Under the persuasion of Xiao Tzurin, Empress Dowager Xiao seemed to be struggling in her heart.
She glanced down at the little emperor in her arms.
Looking at her son's ignorant eyes and her son's well-behaved appearance, she slowly made up her mind.
Money can be earned slowly, but the first emperor entrusted the country to her, and she had to keep a complete country for her son.
"Good!"
Empress Dowager Xiao almost popped out the word from between her teeth.
Taking a deep breath, Empress Dowager Xiao said unwillingly: "Those money are not from the palace, nor from Da Liao, let alone yours." You should all know very well who the money belongs to.
It was left by Yang Yansi to Yang Yanhui, the commander of the horses, and the girl in the iron mirror was not qualified to use it.
The only ones who are qualified are Yang Yanhui, as well as his and Tiejing's sons.
Although Yang Yanhui is my son-in-law of Da Liao, he can only be regarded as half a Liao, and the palace can not care about him.
However, he and Tie Jing's son are the grandsons of Bengong, a pure Liao man with noble royal blood.
Take the money from him, if there is no explanation, how will Bengong face the questioning of the little grandson in the future? ”
No one questioned Empress Dowager Xiao's words.
Yang Yanhui can indeed only be regarded as half of the Liao, even if he is a lieutenant, he can only be regarded as a middle-level nobleman.
But his son is a Liao man, a Liao man with noble blood.
No one dares to question this.
Because in the Great Liao Kingdom, anyone who is stained with the blood of the Yelu family is considered to be the top noble.
What's more, whether it is the child's grandmother or the child's uncle, they are the most honorable people in Daliao.
Of course, the child has an equally honorable uncle.
Although his uncle is not a Liao, he can even be said to be the mortal enemy of the Liao.
But with his uncle's ability, no one dared to question that the bloodline of the other half of the child was not noble enough.
All in all, it is such a noble little guy, is it possible that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military.
Is it useful to reason with a little guy who can't even speak, to give an explanation?
Empress Dowager Xiao clearly wanted to embarrass the hundred officials, but the hundred officials had to suffer this dumb loss.
In the end, the only way to bow to the Empress Dowager Xiao was to bow in unison, "Everything depends on the Empress Dowager." ”
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled, her smile was full of sarcasm, "A woman in this palace, it is difficult to be in charge of this kind of thing." My emperor is the real master of Da Liao, and he is also the uncle of that little guy. This matter is up to my emperor. ”
Empress Dowager Xiao lowered her head, looked at the little emperor who pretended to be serious and cute, and asked softly, "Emperor, you also heard it." Now that the country is in trouble, you want to borrow some money from your little nephew, you say, what should I do? ”
The little emperor had a straight face, his eyes rolled, and he said, "Knighted!" ”
Empress Dowager Xiao was stunned for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Why do you have this idea?" ”
The little emperor tilted his head and said seriously: "After returning to his mother, the emperor read the history of the Tang Dynasty a few days ago, and saw that those who donated money to the country when the country was in great trouble, all of them were knighted......"
Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and nodded, "The emperor is reasonable, then tell me, what kind of title should you give your little nephew?" He borrowed a lot of money from the court......"
Empress Dowager Xiao deliberately aggravated the last sentence, and changed donating money to borrowing money.
The meaning is obvious, it is to be returned.
What do you pay back the money you borrowed for the war?
Naturally, the dividends of the war were exchanged.
Very early, when the Liao people were just starting out, they understood one thing.
The purpose of war is profit.
Perhaps in terms of cultural governance, the Liao people are inferior to the Song people a lot; However, in terms of understanding the law of the jungle, the Liao people understood it far more thoroughly than the Song people.
The reason why the Liao people frequently invaded the Great Song Dynasty was because it was profitable to invade the Great Song Dynasty.
On the other hand, in the war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao, the Great Song Dynasty has always been in a situation of spending money and rarely can gain any benefits from the Liao.
Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to set the distribution method of the war profits before the war began.
Although the money was nominally returned to Princess Tiejing's son, it still belonged to the little emperor in the end.
The little emperor has no idea how much money he has borrowed a large sum of money.
But he listened to Xiao Zuo's words enough to know that the large amount of money that Xiao Zuo could specially advise must be a lot of money, and it was very important.
Therefore, after the little emperor listened to the words of the Empress Dowager Xiao again, the expression on his face was very serious, and he said very seriously: "Feng Wangjue!" ”
