Under the joint efforts of the Jinyi Army and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the exodus of the residents of the imperial capital was barely stopped.

When the Son of Heaven heard the news, his heart was a little more relaxed.

However, there are also those who believe that there is little need for interception at this time. Because those who can escape and those who should flee are almost gone.

The rest, except for fleeing to other places, has no way, that is, they think that they stay in the imperial capital, no matter who comes, they can deal with the people who are comfortable.

Although the personnel did not leave much, the imperial capital was not calm. All sorts of news seem to be spreading more.

Among them, there are two of the most widely circulated.

Both of these are related to the three feudatories.

First, it is said that the three feudal lords have written to the imperial court to ask for their families. Because their families who remained in the imperial capital are gone. According to the information they received, the family members of the three feudal clans were imprisoned by the imperial court.

The reasons for this are very good.

Several of their families have guarded the southwestern border for the imperial court for generations, and now they are suppressing bandits everywhere for the imperial court. His family stayed in the imperial capital, and now the unknown ones are gone, and I hope the court will give them an explanation.

Today's early dynasty, among the matters discussed, there is this one.

"Tell me all about it, how do you reply to them about this?"

God bless the Son of Heaven leaning on the dragon chair, a little listless.

When he first succeeded to the throne, his favorite thing to do every day was to make an early dynasty.

The feeling that the king is over the world, above ten thousand people, and his own words can decide the life and death of many people, made him intoxicated.

But now, that feeling seems to be far away.

When he first succeeded to the throne, none of the ministers who were qualified to be ranked in the court were absent from the early dynasty.

I don't know when there were fewer and fewer ministers in the court.

Some of them have raided their homes, some have returned to their hometowns, some have stayed at home, and some are said to have fled.

More often than not. There are even some who don't come to the court for no reason at all.

When did this begin?

God bless remembered.

It seems to have started when the Jia family and other six princes were raided.

However, those things have passed, and now the urgent need is how to reply to the three feudatories' request for family members.

Seeing that no one came out of class to answer, Tianyou had no choice but to name himself.

"Shuntianfu, the supervision of the family members of the three feudal clans is also your responsibility, and now that the family members of the three feudal clans are gone, they have come to ask for the family members again, you say, how to deal with it?"

"Your Majesty, although the family members of the three feudal clans live in the imperial capital, they have always been supervised by the Jinyi Army. Suncheonfu really didn't know anything about this. ”

Jia Yucun felt that it was very unfair for the emperor to ask himself this.

He has only been the Yin of Shuntianfu for a few days, and this tricky matter has found his head.

Originally, it was a matter of the Jinyi Army, but you didn't ask him, but asked me, what is the reason?

"Sun Tongren, Shuntianfu said so, how do you explain it?"

"Back to the emperor, although the Jinyi Army is responsible for supervising the three feudatories, it is inevitable that the Jinyi Army is busy with affairs and is not well guarded for a while. The family members of the three feudal clans are not allowed to leave the imperial capital, and this has been the case for more than 100 years, who here does not know? Are they all standing idly by? ”

According to the itinerary, Song Kuan and the others should have arrived at the territory controlled by the three feudal clans at this time. At this time, they beat a rake and told the court that they wanted their families, and Sun Tongren naturally understood what it meant.

Therefore, at this time, he can only desperately shirk his responsibility.

At the beginning, there were two leaders of the Jinyi Army, and they knew that Song Kuan was let go by him.

However, Sun Tongren's movements were fast enough to kill them. Now, no one knows that he sent someone to send Song Kuan away.

"I'm not going to hold anyone accountable, so don't blame each other. The top priority now is how to get back to San Francisco. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

Luo Qihua is out of class.

"If you have something to say, you can say it."

"Your Majesty, Emperor. The minister thought that the family members of the three feudal clans had returned to the three feudal domains, and now they asked for their family members, but it was just a rake. The emperor can issue an order to rebuke them. ”

"Now that they have occupied Jiangsu and Zhejiang, what if they continue to go north?"

"Your Majesty, now that the three feudatories are against them, the imperial court should no longer have any illusions about them. Yesterday, the minister also heard about an incident, which sounded very infuriating. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Recently, it is said in the imperial capital that Han Tiandou, the king of Nan'an, had a day of eating wine and beheaded a white snake, which is said to be dozens of zhang ......long."

"Bastard Han Tiandou, what does he mean? Does he want to follow the example of Han Gaozu to kill the white snake and seek the world? ”

This legend has been heard by many ministers.

At the beginning, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, beheaded the white snake and finally won the world of the Han family.

The emperor is the true dragon emperor, and the one who can kill the white snake is naturally a dragon.

At this time, this legend came out, and the intention was actually very obvious. Everyone knows what that means.

Luo Qihua did not follow the emperor's words, and talked about a seemingly irrelevant topic.

"Jiangnan Shilin, today suddenly scraped Yao Shun's saying, which is very noisy, is the Zen let said. Recently, this trend has also spread to the imperial capital Shilin, and it is said that many scholars are quite interested in it. The minister thought that this was also the driving force behind the scenes of the three feudatories, and the evil words confused the public. ”

"Hmph, what do they mean? Do you want me to give them the world's Zen? ”

None of the ministers answered, but everyone understood that this was what the three feudatories meant.

"Sun Tongren."

"The minister is here."

"Tell the Jinyi Army and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to strictly investigate, who dares to discuss right and wrong, bewitch the public with fallacies, and severely punish them."

"Obey."

"Li Yuan, what do you have to say about the unauthorized entry of the three feudatories into Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

As the secretary of the military department, Li Yuan is naturally clear about this matter.

Originally, he didn't want to mention this matter in the court, but now that the emperor asked, he couldn't say anything.

"Back to the emperor, it has now been ascertained that the soldiers and horses of the three feudal clans have indeed entered Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Previously, the so-called bandits in Jiangxi and Anhui were also disguised by the people of the three feudatories, and their purpose was to take advantage of the opportunity to go north in the name of suppressing bandits. ”

"What do you do about it?"

"The minister thinks that the emperor can issue an order for them to return to the southwest."

"Will they go back?"

"This ......, well, the minister doesn't know."

"Li Yuan, I asked you to train soldiers and horses, but it cost a lot of money, how are the soldiers training now?"

"Your Majesty, the army is already strong, and he will come as soon as he is called."

"Why can't the soldiers and horses in those places in the south exterminate even a few bandits, if they fight with the three feudatories, they have a chance of winning?"

"This ......, the emperor, the division of the three feudal domains, are all elite. However, if you meet Wang Shi, you are still not an opponent. As long as the emperor decrees, the royal master can drive the three feudatories back to the southwest. ”

"Scholar Luo, the proposed decree is to ask the soldiers and horses of the three feudal clans to withdraw to Yungui and return to their original places to station. Regarding the matter of their families, since they have already fled, they are asked to send them back to the imperial capital. ”

"Li Yuan, prepare for war immediately, if the three feudatories do not withdraw, they will be annihilated on the spot."

"Obey."

"The household department, the taxes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, have they all been paid?"

"Back to the emperor, Jiangsu and Zhejiang came to report that the taxes there had been collected three times, saying that they would transfer them to the imperial court."

"Did they hand it over?"

"Nope."

"In other words, the taxes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are now in the hands of Sanfan?"

"Yes, not only Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but also the tax and silver of Gwangju have now been controlled by the three feudatories."

"Ningguta Han Tiankui's tax silver, have you ever handed it over?"

"So far, I haven't received a single cent. Han Tiankui said that after the defeat of the Tatars, he had no military salaries there, and asked the imperial court to allocate military salaries. ”

"Hmph, it's all this time, and he still wants money, does he take me for a fool? What about the Northeast Frontier? ”

"Han Tiankui lost at Windula and has withdrawn to Ningguta. Bukui now has only six or seven hundred men to defend. The Tatars besieged Bukui for a month and let all 10,000 of them go. ”

"Where have the wanderers gone?"

"Running around, nowhere to be found."

"There must be no mistake in sending the decree to Bu Kui and all localities to arrest the fugitives."

"Obey."

"Who else wants to play?"

Tianyou looked around. At this time, he was already bored with the early dynasty, and just wanted to disperse the dynasty as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play."

Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry came out of class.

"Say it."

"Last year, the Yellow River burst its banks, and the river workers have not yet paid their money. Now that the rainy season is approaching, the river embankment needs to be reinforced, and silver taels are urgently needed. ”

"Hubu, why hasn't last year's Hegong silver been paid yet?"

Luo Mu was born out of class.

"Back to the emperor, the income is insufficient, so I have to delay for a while. Now the officials of the imperial capital still owe a month's money. There is really no silver tael in the treasury. ”

"Zhong Aiqing, which of you has an idea to raise some silver taels?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has an idea."

The official secretary is out of class.

"Well, Minister, you say."

"The ministers ask for another batch of donors, and you can raise hundreds of thousands of taels."

"It's the fourth batch this year, isn't it too much? When the emperor was the emperor, it only happened once every two years. ”

"Now the emperor is wise and martial, the people are admired, the court is upright, and the officials are honest, so everyone is proud of the officials, and they would rather spend money and donate to the officials, but also ask for their lives for the people and be the masters of the people. This is the prosperous scene of the Celestial Empire. ”

"Well, in that case, let's donate another batch. What do Zhong Aiqing think? ”

"Your Majesty. This is exactly what happened. ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of Hegong Silver ......."

Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry finally brought up this matter, but he was unwilling to let go of this opportunity.

"You can negotiate with Luo Shangshu of the household department."

"Your Majesty, the arrears of military salaries in various places have not yet been settled."

Li Yuan also took the opportunity to ask for money.

"Consult with the household department."

"Your Majesty, this year is the great day for the emperor to ascend the throne, when will the civil and military system be held?"

The secretary is still in trouble.

The civil and military disciplines are subject to the imperial examination, and the literati and martial artists in the world are all eager to take it, and he is not willing to let go of such a great opportunity to make money.

"It's going to be held as usual."

"Your Majesty, what about the money?"

"You talk to the household department and disperse the court."

Tianyou made a mess of calling for money, and he said that he was scattered. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Everyone then went to find Luo Musheng, the head of the household, but there was no one. It turned out that Luo Musheng also slipped away.

This early dynasty, a lot of things were discussed, but nothing seemed to be discussed. The emperor has made several decrees, but it seems that nothing has been solved.

All the ministers withdrew, and they all seemed to have a feeling in their hearts.

This early dynasty became a place of discussion, and the ministers also became Qing guests.
