In the ranks of civil officials, someone coughed lightly, which was a signal that something was going to happen.

Zhu Houxi cheered up and saw who was going to play and what he was playing!

Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked out of the crowd, stood on the royal road, held the wat board in both hands and shook it deeply, then straightened up and stared at the small words posted on the wat board, and read aloud the reason for today's performance.

He said: "The governor of Datong, Zhang Wenjin, the imperial historian of Datong, had no danger to defend, so he built five forts and was supervised by the general Jia Jian.

Jia Jian was known for his harshness, and his servants were resentful. When the five forts were built and the garrisons were dispatched, because they were newly built and everything was lacking, Jia Jian did not allow the soldiers to be prepared, so he urged the soldiers to garrison quickly.

Rong Jian had long been dissatisfied with Jia Jian, and mutinied and rebelled under the long-term resentment, killed Jia Jian and Zhang Wenjin, released Zhu Zhen, the chief soldier in prison, and coerced him to be the commander. The imperial court sent Cai Tianyou as the imperial history of the capital to pacify the rebellious army. Soon, Guo Taibao passed Datong, and the rebels mistakenly thought that they were going to be requisitioned, and the group gathered again into chaos. The imperial court ordered Hu Zan and Lu Gang, the governor of the capital, to lead a 3,000-strong Beijing army to attack. ”

Wang Jun paused when he played this.

Zhu Houxi knows all the above things. This was all three months ago, when Yang Tinghe posted the handling opinions on the fold, and he was furious when he saw it!

No matter how resentful the servants were, the following offenses were not tolerated. What's more, he also killed Zhang Wenjin and Jia Jian. One of them is a second-rank member and the other is a third-grade member, and the rebels do this, they simply don't take the court seriously.

But Yang Tinghe's opinion was only to send Cai Tianyou, the imperial historian of the capital, to appease.

What kind of appeasement, isn't it just a big thing to turn into a small thing, and a small thing into a small thing?

Oh, a second-grade officer, a third-grade member was killed like this? And he died so miserably, he was torn apart by a car, but the murderer was at large!

He knew what Yang Tinghe meant, wasn't it because Jia Jian was his person, and Zhang Wenjin also intended to take refuge in him, so he killed the chicken to show the monkey. Let the officials of the world know what will happen if they follow him? If you are killed by the rebels, not only can you not avenge you, but you also have to treat the murderer well.

This will chill the hearts of officials all over the world!

He returned the recital to Wenyuan Pavilion and asked the cabinet ministers to discuss it again.

A few days later, the song was sent back again, and the opinions were the same as before, except that there was this more paragraph:

"Your Majesty, the ministers also want to send troops to encircle and suppress, but they have more than enough strength but not enough. Fighting a war is fighting for silver, and this encirclement and suppression would not have been possible without hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels of silver. After a long time, it is not impossible to spend three or five million taels of silver. There was no silver in the treasury of the household department, and it was impossible to distribute the full amount of Fenglu to the officials, so where did he use so much silver? If the emperor has so much silver in the treasury, please take it out, and the ministers will agree to send troops to encircle and suppress it. ”

Zhu Houxi looked at this passage and was silent!

As soon as the first emperor died, ninety percent of the emperor's property was lost, and the inner treasury had no source of money, but the expenses did not decrease! In the past few years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have cost a lot of money in the inner library, and even the wedding of the third princess and his wedding are stretched thin and unable to bear it, so where to use so much silver to send troops to encircle and suppress.

A penny is difficult for a hero, let alone tens of millions of taels of silver. He had no choice but to give up and agree to Yang Tinghe's proposal to send someone to press the fu.

He had long felt that this matter was inappropriate, and there would be endless troubles in the future. Sure enough, it didn't take long for another piece of music to be sent to the front, saying that Guo Xun was passing through Datong, and the rebels thought they were coming to suppress it, and they rebelled again.

Guo Xun was about to be unjustly killed in this matter, and not long ago he did go to the border to check the border defense, and he did pass through Datong. But Guo Xun was already cautious, that is, he was afraid that the Datong army would be unstable, so as not to cause any misunderstanding and any accidents, he sent someone to indicate the place he was going to this time, and bypassed Datong, and went away a hundred miles away from Datong, who knew that the rebels who had just been appeased rebelled again.

This is really a rebellion, and there is no word for it.

It is impossible to recruit again! First, it shows the weakness and incompetence of the imperial court. Second, the rebels will not believe it again. can only send troops to encircle and suppress.

Yang Tinghe's advice was to send 3,000 Beijing troops to encircle and suppress.

Zhu Houxi wanted to tear the fold to pieces at that time!

The rebels held the grain in Datong, forced the merchants to pay money, and recruited troops and horses, and the number of them reached 350,000. Yang Tinghe only sent 3,000 Beijing troops to encircle and suppress, is this for the rebels to see? Or take the egg to touch the stone, obviously to defeat the battle.

He returned the fold again and let the cabinet reconsider. After a few days, it was returned again, and the opinion was still the same opinion, but there was one more note, no money!

This time, Zhu Houxi was stumped again, so he had to agree!

It has been several months since this incident, and the Beijing army that wants to be sent has reached Datong, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is reporting to the court at this time, and I think that this matter has already had a result.

Zhu Houxi doesn't have to guess, he knows that this is not a good result, and nine times out of ten it is a result that is too bad to be bad.

Sure enough, I only heard Wang Jun continue: "Hu Zan and Lu Gangjun have reached Yanghe, and the rebels have taken the entire Datong County and besieged the Daiwang Mansion when they see the army coming to suppress it, and the Daiwang Mansion is in danger, and the Daiwang asks the court for help!" How to do this, please ask the emperor to decide! ”

Zhu Houxi was silent and did not speak.

A military general stepped forward, and after giving a long salute, he asked Wang Jundao: "Why don't you let Hu Zan and Lu Na attack, and join forces with the acting king to exterminate this group of rebels." ”

Wang Jun looked innocent and said: "If you give an order or not, that's Lord Jin's business, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Lord Jin is Jin Xianmin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The cabinet is undecided, how dare I give an order!" Besides, the rebel army is huge, and 3,000 men and horses are tantamount to a drop in the bucket, and if they go, they will only be sent to death! ”

The military general said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to encircle and suppress the rebels, at most three months, and they will be able to kill the rebels without leaving a single piece of armor!" ”

Wang Jun sneered and said, "It's light, give me 100,000 elite soldiers, and I can kill the rebels without leaving a single piece of armor." But the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first, is it difficult to let the soldiers fight hungry? Lord Jiang, this expedition, how much silver can the household department come up with. ”

Jiang Mian, the head of the household department, stepped forward, first gave Zhu Houxi a long salute, and said: "The household treasury is empty, and all the adults know it, how can you get a tael of silver." But ......"

The general smiled and said, "It seems that there is still a way to raise money." ”

Hubu Shangshu said: "If the official's money is deducted by another 10%, he can make up 120,000 taels of silver." ”

The general's smiling face froze instantly! Today's Yulu has withheld 30% of the distribution, and then withheld 10%, wouldn't it be necessary to withhold 40% of the distribution.

The salary of these military generals is already lower than that of civilian officials, and it is already very difficult to maintain their lives by withholding 30 percent of the distribution. How dare you agree to the proposal of the head of the household, and besides, a mere one or two hundred thousand taels of silver is not enough for the cost of the army's encirclement and suppression!

Jiang Mian saw that the general's face was ugly, shook his head and sighed: "Even if you can make up 200,000 taels of silver, you can't use it to encircle and suppress the rebellion." ”

The general was surprised: "Why? ”

Jiang Mian didn't care, that frame was like saying, with your level, you are not worthy of me to explain. He held the wat board in both hands, rushed up to the side, and said, "The minister has something to play!" After that, read aloud according to the small words posted on the wat board.
