Gao Gong coughed and said: "Before, Zhao Zhenji wrote a book, which caused a discussion among the government and the opposition. I don't think there's anything wrong with the previous scrutiny of these reinstated officials. Since Zhao Zhenji listed Shao Yuanjie's generation and the affairs of the Dao Palace as the top priority, and called the first priority of the Ming Dynasty, when we inspected these old ministers, did we check what they did when they were the first emperor|? If you do some officials who write green words, build Taoist palaces, flatter the first emperors, and cultivate and invite gods, they are not worthy of revenge, so let them resign. ”

Xu Jie's face was instantly gloomy as if it was going to rain.

Who the hell is this?

Isn't this what he Xu Jie?

Isn't this just to make him resign?

But......

There's really no way to refute this.

This matter was originally the edict made by you Xu Jie, and then it was your dogleg Zhao Zhenji's resolute book, but he didn't expect to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

Who the hell is this going to reason with?

I couldn't refute it, so I had to change the subject. What topics to change? It has to be an important topic to be able to force a reversal of the topic. Xu Jie coughed and said:

"These things are mostly rumors......"

"Whether it's a rumor or not, check it out and find out." Gao Gong said lightly.

"I don't have that time and energy right now." Xu Jie said in a deep voice: "The most important thing now is the shortage of money, there are only ten days left before the three-month deadline, have you come up with a way?" ”

Gao Gong's expression is stagnant, this matter is indeed a big deal. If you don't get it right, it will affect the national capital of the Ming Dynasty. But I couldn't think of a way. Gao Gong also knew very well in his heart that once this matter finally couldn't be solved, Ma Fang and Zhang Juzheng would both fall behind, one would fall in rank, and the other would not be able to manage things for three years. But Ge Shouli is in the household department, and the household department is still Xu Jie's, but the military department may not be his own.

This couldn't help but make him anxious in his heart, and he sat there frowning and thinking.

Xu Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he also had a headache, and sat there frowning and thinking. And Zhang Juzheng's heart was cold again. In order to cover up his problem, Xu Jie did not hesitate to sneak him out as a shield.

"Ahem!" Luo Xin coughed twice, and when he mentioned the money shortage, he had to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, I was in charge of some copywriting in the military department before. ”

The division of labor in the cabinet is only today, and before that, Xu Jie and Gao Gong randomly assigned some copywriting to Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng, the two newcomers, and tried to deal with it. Therefore, under Luo Xin's intention, these days, I have read a lot of copywriting from the Ministry of War. The reason why he was concerned about the copywriting of the military department was because he knew that there would be a recital and it would be sent in the next few days, because he was the one who caused the situation of the urgent performance of the north and the south.

Why should he be like this?

It is to create a situation where the finances of the Ming Dynasty are tense again, so as not to prevent Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng from coming up with the idea of silver coins when they look at the growth of the amount of silver in the Ming treasury now.

Luo Xin took out two stacks of pieces and said, "These two stacks of pieces are from the south and the north respectively, and they are both urgent. The content of the southern recital is that the fleet of the Western vassal state and the fleet of the Huaxia State were in the South China Sea, and there was a fierce battle off the coast of the Ming Dynasty. The sailor believed that the Ming Dynasty was likely to be attacked by the fleet of the vassal state, or by the fleet of the Huaxia country. Because both countries are very strong. Yu Dayou, the governor of the water division, made it clear that if a war broke out, the Daming water division would not be an opponent at all. Therefore, he asked the imperial court to allocate funds to improve the strength of the sailors.

There is a budget here, they need to build new ships, as well as all sorts of weapons and reinforcements. ”

"No, the Huaxia country you are talking about is the country that destroyed Japan." Gao Gong asked.

"Yes, now they have destroyed Luzon, Ryukyu, Japan, and they are very strong."

"No, do you think their fleet is really strong?" Ma Fang said: "You have been in the south for a short time, you should know something about them, and how does the fleet strength of the western feudal kingdom compare with the sailors?" ”

"There is no comparison at all!" Luo Xin said seriously: "If there is a battle at sea, the Daming Sailor will be sent to death." ”

"Hiss......" Everyone in the cabinet couldn't help but gasp.

Luo Xin pointed to another stack of pieces and said: "This is a piece sent from the north, the grassland army has returned from the Western Regions, and it has a tendency to attack the Ming border pass." Therefore, the border pass requested the imperial court to allocate funds to strengthen the city walls and castles and other fortifications, as well as to request additional troops. ”

"Hiss......"

Everyone in the cabinet gasped again, and the atmosphere in the cabinet suddenly became solemn.

Xu Jie beckoned to Luo Xin, and Luo Xin sent two stacks of music to Xu Jie, and after Xu Jie finished reading one, he passed out a copy, and everyone took turns to read it. After reading it, the atmosphere is even more solemn.

After everyone finished reading, Xu Jie curled his fingers and gently tapped the table and said:

"There is a threat from the North and the South at the same time, and it is a threat of a big war. We need to come up with a charter first. ”

Everyone was silent, and then everyone's eyes were on Luo Xin and Ma Fang's bodies back and forth.

The military troika of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Zongxian returned to his hometown, and now the remaining two are in the cabinet, so naturally the two of them have the most right to speak.

Luo Xin lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing, although he was known as the god of the Ming Dynasty, he was still a junior in the cabinet, and he didn't care about the military department now, and the most important thing was that he made the threat to the north and south.

In fact, this North-South threat is also a threat, and there will be no real war at all. However, he understands in his heart, and others don't. Therefore, at this time, the faces of all the cabinet members were very nervous, even Ma Fang was no exception. Moreover, Ma Fang was in charge of the military department, and at this time he frowned and thought about a way.

After waiting for a while, Luo Xin and Ma Fang were silent, and Xu Jie couldn't help but ask: "Master Ma, what are your plans for the war between the north and the south?" ”

Ma Fang said with a solemn expression: "I don't know much about water battles. However, looking at what Yu Dayou said in the chapter, our Daming Shui Shi is not an opponent against the Shui Shi at all, and the gap is not ordinarily large. If we dare to go to sea, I'm afraid we will never come back.

Therefore, in the south, we can only defend passively. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help sighing and said, "I'm afraid that the southern coastal areas will enter the chaos again." ”

"The most important thing is that it will affect the city." Zhang Juzheng's face showed a look of worry.

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces sank. Xu Jie's face became very ugly. Daming's finances have just improved, and if something goes wrong with the city's department, Daming's finances will immediately fall into crisis.
