As soon as he heard this, Tobe Shangshu Bi Ziyan's head drooped. There is no other reason, and the next time is to use the money, but in the hands of him, the head of the household book, there is no money!

Of course, Hu Guang is very clear about this. Therefore, he glanced at Bi Ziyan and said: "Wen Qing's side, we must come up with a fiscal and tax innovation strategy after the year." As for the moment, one step at a time, meritorious soldiers must be rewarded when they should be rewarded, and they can't make the soldiers feel cold! ”

When Bi Ziyan heard this, he raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, how to deal with the arrears of military salaries of the army over there?" ”

This time, a large part of the Qinwang army is a border army, and the matter of arrears of salaries will be mentioned by this opportunity.

Therefore, after Bi Ziyan mentioned it, he saw the emperor's eyebrows furrowed, so he proposed: "If you don't let the Qin Wangjun return to their original stations first, this can also reduce the pressure on the Jingshi's side." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Wen Tiren nodded and said, "However, as Your Majesty said, you can't chill the hearts of meritorious soldiers, and you can choose some meritorious soldiers to enter Beijing on behalf of each army." At present, the imperial court does not have a silver reward, but it can be slightly more lenient in official positions. ”

This is related to military affairs, and Shen Yongmao, the secretary of the military department, had to speak: "If the official position is too relaxed, how will the war be handled in the future?" They all loosened their mouths, what should I do when the army is full of officers? ”

"This is a diligent king, and it is normal to get more credit than usual." The auxiliary minister Zhang Zhifa interjected to defend himself, and it seemed that he was looking forward to the first assistant horse.

Seeing that Shen Yongmao still wanted to speak, Hu Guang stretched out his hand to stop it, and then said: "Zhuqing doesn't have to fight, let all the Qin Wang troops gather in Beijing, there are meritorious rewards, and there are punishments, I can't let them down and go back." ”

In fact, he had already decided on this matter, because he had already thought that military power must be controlled in his own hands.

However, there is no need to mention this matter at the moment, and he doesn't want his subordinates to continue to discuss this, so he opens the topic and says: "It will take some time for the Qinwang army from all walks of life to gather in the Beijing Division, but the defense of the Beijing Division has been over for a long time, and what I promised before must also fulfill my promise!" ”

Hearing him say this, the courtiers below couldn't help but look at him, not knowing what the emperor meant by the promise.

I only heard Hu Guang continue: "First of all, on the side of the fallen soldiers, if they have a small family, the food ration can be given priority and labor compensation will be exempted afterwards. When the court has money, the pension will be paid. This is one of them. ”

If this is the case, it will also save this part of the court expenses, so the ministers all nodded and had no objections.

Hu Guang's face became more solemn, and he said in a somewhat serious tone: "In addition, and most importantly, the matter of the Great Ming Martyrs' Hall that I promised must be put on the agenda. Zhu Qing take a look, how should this Ming Martyrs Hall be built? ”

Seeing that the emperor was so serious, Wen Tiren frowned and asked after thinking about it: "Your Majesty, how far should this Ming Loyal Martyr's Hall go?" ”

Hu Guang had already had a draft, so he said without hesitation: "Slightly lower than the Taimiao, every year during the Qingming New Year, the Ming Emperor personally worships, and is usually open to the people to worship and visit!" ”

"......" The Wenhua Hall was very quiet, and the ministers present all looked at Hu Guang with a little surprise, obviously surprised by the high status of this Ming Loyal Martyr's Hall, and actually asked the emperor to worship in person?

Hu Guang saw that they didn't answer, so he frowned and asked, "What, what do you think, just say it!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it seems a little inappropriate to worship the Ming Martyrs' Hall twice a year with the respect of the Son of Heaven." Wen Tiren spoke first, "In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to be presided over by the Dali Temple Secretary or the Ministry of Rites." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Zhang Zhifa followed.

This time, even the auxiliary ministers Cheng Jiming and Zhou Yanru, who had been silent like a mud bodhisattva, also expressed their views and echoed Wen Tiren's proposal.

After all, in their opinion, what is enshrined in this Ming Loyal Martyrs Hall is basically those military households, military heads, and some generals. For people like this, it is already a great thing to have the Daming Martyrs Hall to enjoy incense for them, and it is a bit too much for the emperor to worship in person.

Hu Guang saw that these courtiers below disagreed, and couldn't help frowning: "The people who entered the Daming Loyal Martyrs Hall were all sacrificed for the Daming. As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, what about worshipping them? ”

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, what is the difference between the Daming Martyrs' Hall and the Taimiao? If the previous emperors had spirits, could they agree or not? Wen Tiren persuaded bitterly.

Cheng Jiming was unexpectedly active in this matter, and followed: "Your Majesty, you can't go too far!" Otherwise, those martial artists will be arrogant and arrogant, which is not good for the country! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, this move is equivalent to the Taimiao, don't say the ministers, etc., the world's scholars will also be unfair!" The military department Shangshu Shen Yongmao also followed.

……

Seeing that the courtiers below disagreed, Hu Guang wanted to explain that this Ming Loyal Martyrs Hall was not only for the Ming soldiers to enter, but also for other scholars and scholars, and even ordinary people, as long as they were sacrificed for the interests of the Ming Dynasty, they could enter.

However, the concept of emphasizing literature over military force cannot be changed all at once, and Hu Guang feels that he is a little taken for granted. Therefore, he was silent, and then took a step and said: "In this way, during the Qingming Festival, the prince will preside over the worship, and if the prince is not established, the first assistant will preside; This time for the Chinese New Year, I must worship in person. No matter who it is, no matter the civil ministers, military generals, ordinary people, as long as the people who die for the Ming Dynasty, I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I must express it. ”

Speaking of which, Hu Guang's tone has become categorical.

Wen Tiren listened, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed down and played: "Since the holy will has been decided, the minister has no objection!" ”

"Sycophants!" When Cheng Jiming heard this, he scolded secretly in his heart, and he didn't come forward to object.

Hu Guangjian took a step back and reached an agreement, so he reminded: "That Shoufu took the lead and came up with a charter for the construction of the Ming Martyrs' Hall." I have requirements, in addition to offering incense and being worshipped, there must also be deeds to display for people to pay respects. It can make the world admire, worship, learn, and set an example for the loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty! ”

His idea is not only to use the heart of the Ming Loyal Martyrs Hall to collect soldiers, but also to use it as an education base for patriotism and loyalty.

Hearing Hu Guang's words, Wen Tiren faintly guessed, and after a little thought, he said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the scale of the Daming Martyrs' Hall cannot be small. The minister suggested that it should be built in the square outside the temple. ”

"Your Majesty, when will this Ming Martyrs' Hall be completed? Where does the money come from? "The head of the household department is strict based on his own duties, and he has to ask.

When he said this, these courtiers remembered. It seems that the emperor wants to let the soldiers who died in the defense of Beijing enter this Ming Loyal Martyrs Hall. In this way, not only is the construction period tight, but also when the court has no money, can this be done?
