Chapter 291: Confession

However, Chongzhen's expression moved, and he nodded quietly and said, "Well, now the treasury is used in many places, the country has to use money everywhere, the bandit army salary cannot be in arrears, the military expenses of Liaodong must be allocated on time, the Tartars are rampant in Beizhili, the imperial court is bound to not be taxed, and the money and grain must be exempted for a few years to recuperate, Lu Aiqing, it is better to let the household department once there is a balance on hand, how about allocating it to you Xuanda?" ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he fell to his knees with a thud, "Your Majesty, if Weichen has other ways, where will the minister embarrass Your Majesty?" Nowadays, Xuanda's military salary can't be delayed no matter what, and the sergeants below have long been thought about, and they all rely on the strong pressure of officers at all levels, but after a long time, don't say that the soldiers, even the officer is going to make trouble, and no one can bear it if there is no military pay for two or three months in a row.

If Lu Xiangsheng's words at the beginning of the period still had some taste of acting, but later, Lu Xiangsheng revealed his true feelings, and now that Xuanfu really can't be delayed any longer, it is not easy for the soldiers to endure it until now. Lu Xiangsheng can use all the methods, but he can't squeeze out a penny, and now there is really no way to delay it anymore.

Chongzhen frowned, his face became flushed, he stood up suddenly, and shouted at Lu Xiangsheng, "If you are embarrassed, won't I be embarrassed?" Now the rebels have rebelled, the court wants to suppress bandits, to guard against the sneak attack of Jiannu, and to keep money elsewhere, now, the world has to ask me for money everywhere, I have already used all the money of the inner son, but this hole is getting bigger and bigger, if I see that even this inner child has no money, I violated the ban of Taizu, and added Liao salary to the people of the world, and later increased the training salary, but this tax was collected, I have not covered the heat, and I was divided by Liaodong, and now I, the emperor, in order to save money, do not even eat meat, Look at the clothes on my body, I haven't changed them for many years, how many emperors like me are there in all dynasties? ”

Chongzhen said this, his expression was dejected, "If I can be elected, if there are other people in the Ming Dynasty who can inherit the throne, this emperor, I will definitely not do it!" “

Lu Xiangsheng prostrated on the ground and cried bitterly, "The minister can't share the worries of His Majesty, and the crime deserves death,"

Yang Quan was watching with relish on the side, but when he saw Lu Xiangsheng kneeling on the ground, he said this, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, joking, Inspector Lu used all these words, and he was still standing, so he was purely looking for death.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the monarchs and ministers sobbed and cried in unison, Yang Quan saw that this was not a way, if this special person cried until dawn, would he have to accompany him? Thinking of this, Yang Quan quietly stabbed Lu Xiangsheng, who was still crying on the ground. Lu Xiangsheng gave Yang Quan a roll of his eyes and motioned for Yang Quan to continue waiting.

The two of them sobbed for a long time, and then Lu Xiangsheng said to Chongzhen with a cry, "Your Majesty, there is no silver in the court, but the soldiers below can't be delayed for a day, how to deal with it in the future, please show your majesty." ”

Chongzhen glanced at the two kneeling on the ground, but there was a sense of helplessness in his heart, although he was a ninety-five honor, he had no money in his hand, and the poor jingle sounded. Just when the emperor was embarrassed, Yang Quan, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't wait any longer, and after kneeling for a long time, it was going to be dark!

"Your Majesty, there is a way for the ministers, one is that the court does not need to pay two silver taels to Xuanda, and second, that is, Xuanda can be self-sufficient. There is no need for the imperial court to worry about money every time like now. ”

Yang Quan's news made Chongzhen slammed, but he couldn't react, and after a while, he looked at him tightly, "Yang Quan, what are you talking about?" Do you have a way to make Xuanda self-sufficient without spending a penny on the imperial court? ”

Lu Xiangsheng, who was standing behind Yang Quan, quietly pulled Yang Quan and shouted, "Yang Quan, you are just a small boss, how dare you speak to Your Majesty like this?" Don't step aside? ”

After that, Lu Xiangsheng turned around and winked at Yang Quan, Yang Quan looked at it, knew that Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to say it himself, so he bowed and retreated to the side, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a lot of dissatisfaction in his eyes, and hurriedly said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the method Yang Quan said, the minister also knows, but this method is really not easy to use in my Ming Dynasty,"

Chongzhen's face was excited, "Aiqing, tell me, see what you can do?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at Chongzhen, and the two of them felt a little sympathetic to each other, because from another aspect, Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng have one thing in common, you are both crazy about money.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed and said, "Actually, this is also very simple, that is, Xuanzhen raises his own military salary, and the army raises food on the spot." ”

After Lu Xiangsheng said this, Emperor Chongzhen sat back on the dragon chair suddenly, Chongzhen knew in his heart that Lu Xiangsheng's words were the best way out for Xuanzhen now, but, this mouth, Chongzhen did not dare to let go of it anyway, the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court controlled the locality, it was nothing more than the separation of military and government, taxes were paid, military expenses and local government expenditures were uniformly allocated by the central government, and the precautionary thing was local independence, and the central government did not listen to the announcement, so as to avoid the Ming Dynasty repeating the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, but today, if you let go of this mouth, The nine-sided military town of the Ming Dynasty is not going to be chaotic?

Chongzhen's face changed several times in an instant, he sat on the dragon chair, and his thin cheeks instantly turned pale. He thought for a moment, but what plan he made, he raised his head, and in his slender eyes, there was a firm gaze, "Lu Aiqing, now I will make an exception and give you the privilege of Xuanzhen, but I want to state that this is only a temporary emergency, and the assets obtained, after paying the military expenses, will be handed over to the national treasury!" ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Long live Shengming!" Tens of thousands of soldiers at the border gates, thank Your Majesty! ”

Chongzhen waved his hand a little weakly, but he was a little stunned in his heart, now that he has made such a choice, I don't know if it is right or wrong for Daming?

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng gave Yang Quan a look, which seemed to mean that I have already done the big thing, and the rest of the things should be your Yang Quan, Yang Quan glanced at Lu Xiangsheng and saw that he was not moving, so he had to cough and said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, the last general Yang Quan has something to do"

Emperor Chongzhen was awakened by Yang Quan's voice, frowned and asked, "Yang Quan, what's the matter with you?" ”

Yang Quan looked at Chongzhen's fierce eyes, but he didn't flinch from each other, "Your Majesty, the last general is cheeky, please ask Your Majesty to set the corn offered yesterday as a tribute!" ”

Chongzhen raised his eyebrows, but he was not annoyed, "Tell me why?" ”

Yang Quan glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, the old man lowered his head at this moment, but he didn't look at Yang Quan, Yang Quan was helpless, so he had to say, "Even if Your Majesty asks Xuanzhen to raise military expenses on the spot, I'm afraid that the Xuanfu doesn't have much to raise now, but the minister has planted corn, and only by selling this corn can he raise more military expenses!" ”
