Chapter 0254 - First Rank Duke

As Bai Shizhong stood up to accuse Qian Heng, Zheng Juzhong, who was the leader of the Privy Council, also stood up for Bai Shizhong.

Originally, the Privy Council led by Zheng Juzhong, because Qian Heng had already made such great contributions, and his Privy Council, as the supreme command body, should be happy.

But Zheng Juzhong understands even more that what Qian Heng has done this time is too much.

Without any request for troops, let alone any order from the Privy Council, he privately mobilized his troops, and he also launched a nationwide war, this kind of bold and reckless person, Zheng Juzhong did not dare to use it, nor did he dare to bear any responsibility for any crime caused by it, so he immediately stood up and agreed with Bai Shizhong's responsibility to Qian Heng.

"Qiqi official, what Lord Meng Heng said is extremely true, this Qian Heng is really too reckless, if he has such a powerful military power in his hands, it will inevitably become a hidden danger for my Great Song Dynasty, the minister seconded the proposal, and quickly transferred Qian Heng back to the capital, and all the generals who participated in the battle of Western Xia must also be transferred back to the capital and serve in the forbidden army, which is the most appropriate way to deal with it!"

Zhao Ji listened to the responsibilities of these two people, and his heart was entangled.

Zhao Ji's gaze fell on Lao Cai Jing, who was sitting on the golden pier.

"Chief, what do you think?"

Old Cai Jing stood up tremblingly and bowed slightly, "Official, you should already have your own decision, the minister doesn't want to be responsible for the rights and wrongs of Lord Qian Hengqian, but the minister cares about one thing!" ”

Zhao Ji was stunned, "When is Yuan Chang worried?" ”

Cai Jingdao, "Since Lord Qian arranged for the soldiers and horses to capture Xingqing Mansion, the treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty should have been included in the hands of the soldiers and horses of our Dynasty, and now my Great Song Dynasty treasury is empty, and the treasury of the Great Xia Dynasty is a good opportunity to alleviate the emptiness of my Great Song Dynasty treasury. ”

Cai Jing's words made Zhao Ji's eyes light up.

Zhao Ji is an extravagant emperor, but also an emperor who puts art above all else, and the wealth consumed has already emptied the treasury, and the one who handles these consumption the most is Cai Jing.

Therefore, I deeply agree with Cai Jing's suggestion.

Wang Huang, who has been working against Cai Jing, also began to echo Cai Jing's opinion at this time, "The minister is willing to share the worries of the official family, go to the Suide army, and welcome the treasury of Western Xia back to Bianjing!" ”

Zhao Ji nodded, "Jiang Ming won my heart, according to what the Yuan Chang said, Jiang Ming will be the pacification envoy to appease the Xia Prefecture departments, quickly settle all the places in the Western Xia Kingdom, and then send the treasury silver of the Western Xia to my Great Song Treasury!" ”

Wang Hao's face was full of joy and bowed down to receive the order.

Uncle Zhang, who had been standing aside without making a sound, sneered in his heart.

Zhang Shuye knows Qian Heng too well, if it is something else, it is still possible for Qian Heng to hand it over to the treasury, if it involves money and the like, Qian Heng will never be willing to hand it over.

Although Uncle Zhang knew it in his heart, he would not express it at such a time.

At this time, Li Bangyan, who had never spoken on weekdays, suddenly stood up, "The official, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

Zhao Ji didn't expect Li Bangyan to speak out, he didn't know what Li Bangyan thought, so he hurriedly asked, "What does Shimei think, just say it!" ”

At this time, Zhao Ji was happy when he saw that he could get the treasury silver of Western Xia.

Li Bangyan's words were like a basin of cold water, "Have the officials ever thought about it, if this Qian Heng privately swallowed the treasury silver of Great Xia, how should we deal with him?" ”

As soon as Li Bangyan said this, everyone present was stunned, including Lao Cai Jing and Wang Hao, who also looked nervous.

Indeed, no one thought of this, if you want to say that this thing Li Bangyan said, it is really possible to happen to Qian Heng.

Qian Heng was able to privately send troops to attack Western Xia, and it was not impossible to say that he was greedy for the treasury silver of Great Xia.

Wang Huang, who still wanted to get a piece of the pie, couldn't help but sneer, "If this Qian Heng dares to be greedy for the treasury silver of Mo Daxia, then wait for the military law to deal with it, and it will be light to punish him with capital punishment at that time!" ”

Li Bangyan's face was indifferent, and he glanced at Wang Huang, "Lord Wang, if Qian Heng was greedy for the treasury silver of Great Xia, he could be punished for his crimes, but what if Qian Heng did not embezzle it privately, but rewarded these treasury silver to soldiers from all walks of life?" How should we condemn him? ”

Wang Hao's face darkened for a while.

"Then what should Master Li do with Qian Heng?"

Li Bangyan smiled and said, "Actually, the matter is very simple, let's ignore the matter of the treasury silver first, at least transfer Qian Heng back to the capital, which is the most important thing, if the treasury silver is gone, we can also mobilize these strong generals to attack the Liao, and when the time comes, our own people will watch and take back the treasury silver of the Liao, isn't it?" ”

"Then in what name should Qian Heng be transferred back?"

Wang Hao asked again.

Li Bangyan glanced at Zhao Ji, "The official, the minister thinks that this Qian Heng will not only be rewarded lavishly, but also punished heavily!" ”

Li Bangyan said this, and Zhao Ji asked curiously.

"If you have any good suggestions, Shimei just talk about it!"

Li Bangyan said with a smile, "In fact, Qian Heng's merits are enough to surpass countless predecessors, and even the title of king is not exaggerated, but since he has already been given a title, what about making him a duke?" ”

As soon as Li Bangyan said this, Lao Cai Jing also interjected, "What Shimei said is extremely true, since Qian Heng has made such a meritorious achievement, if there is no reward, it will be difficult to block the mouths of Youyou, give him the title of founding duke, and give him the false title of a straight bachelor, it is not a loss to him!" ”

At this time, Wang Hao was also busy saying, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"Then if the treasury silver is greedy for ink by him, how should he punish the crime?"

Bai Shizhong suddenly asked.

As soon as these words were raised, everyone looked at Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang was also a little surprised, Bai Shizhong looked at Uncle Zhang and smiled, "Master Zhang, I know that you have a lot of relationship with Qian Heng, so it's better that you don't participate in this matter!" ”

Who would have expected that Bai Shizhong would actually be in the court and want to exclude Uncle Zhang.

Zhang Shuye could only look at Zhao Ji above, and Zhao Ji also understood that it was not a glorious thing to convict Qian Heng in advance when the truth of Qian Heng had not yet been determined.

Zhao Ji thought for a moment and waved his hand directly, "In this way, I will not consider the issue of punishment first, and arrange for someone to draw up the will first, and after I think about it, I will make a decision!" ”

Zhao Ji sent everyone away, and Zhao Ji returned to the apse.

Uncle Zhang sighed in his heart, and could only bow his head and leave the court.

At this time in Yongle New Town, Qian Heng was listening to his subordinates report their results.

Yelu Dashi looted the treasury of Western Xia, of course, he would not be stupid enough to clean it up, so when Wu Jue, Wu Ling, Zhe Kecun and others entered Xingqing Mansion, they still got a lot of gold and silver from the treasury.

Of course, Jerod Stone only left some gold and silver.

Even so, nearly 100,000 taels of gold and silver were sent back to the treasury of Yongle New City one after another.
