073 Democracy dies
"Back to Your Majesty, in your humble opinion, the problem lies in the word 'money', our Celestial Empire and foreign countries need money, disaster relief and reconstruction work needs money, and the northern tour prepared by His Majesty also needs money......" Gao Gong thought for a while, and still pointed out the key to the problem, which also made Yang Guang and everyone present nod their heads and say yes.
"In this way, we just need to collect more money, and collecting money is nothing more than two strategies to open up sources and reduce expenditures, I don't know if Gao Qing has a way to open source?" Yang Guang nodded in agreement with his bloody nod, and asked a second question as a matter of course.
"Your Majesty, please forgive your majesty for being blunt, my Great Sui has been developing fast enough in the past few years, and the minister has no open source strategy, maybe the matter of His Majesty's northern tour can be slowed down and wait until next year......"
"Gao Qing This is the words of the old Cheng to seek the country, but it is not a bad way, which Aiqing has a different opinion?" Yang Guang waved his hand, although he praised Gao Gong, but how could everyone not know his attitude?
"Your Majesty, just now Guogong said that Annei, then Weichen will talk about this outside." Xu Guo Gongyu Wen Shu saw Yang Guang asking, or took over the conversation according to his instructions, "As we all know, the Wa State has always been a subject country of the Celestial Empire, and it should be a tribute every year and a minister, but the Wa State is really arrogant, not only does the worship table make people angry, but also makes things difficult for the officials of the Honglu Temple in our court in every possible way in the Sifang Pavilion. ”
Most of the people who heard Yu Wenshu's speech shared the same hatred for the enemy, but apart from a few military representatives who were eager to try, the civilian officials finally remained silent shamefully.
"The Quartet barbarians, once they are given face, they will become Bengali, as the saying goes, 'if you don't fight, you can't make a deal', Weichen thinks that my Celestial Empire should dispatch an expeditionary force to deter it with the necessary force." Su You saw that the time was ripe, and it was time for him to be speechless, so he stood up in time to fulfill his private agreement with Yang Guang.
Everyone was not much surprised to see the newly appointed Su You's words, since the incident in the Sifang Pavilion, everyone took him as Yang Guang's celebrity as a matter of course, and when they saw him talking at this moment, how could they not know that it was Yang Guang's instructions?
"It seems that the Wa Kingdom is really a trouble, Nayan, what do you think?" Yang Guang nodded appreciatively at Su You's suggestion, but asked Su Wei cordially.
"His Majesty clearly saw that the trouble of the Wa Kingdom needed to be solved urgently, and the minister thought that what was being discussed today was not just a question of whether to fight or not, but a question of how to fight and who to send to lead the troops to fight. You may not know that on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, His Majesty discovered the Ryukyu Kingdom in the East China Sea as early as last year, when Zhu Kuan, a cloud cavalry captain who visited the southeastern islands. Su Wei first gave Yang Guang an affirmative answer like "Yuan Fang" answered Di Renjie's inquiry, and then broke the news of the East China Sea.
"Your Majesty, the East China Sea is vast, how far is the journey between my Great Sui and the Wa Kingdom? The minister thought that he could send the general Zhao'an Ryukyu to deter the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, specifically that when he returned to visit the Wa Kingdom, he could first detour to the Ryukyus....... "As soon as Xiao Cong exited, everyone present nodded their heads and said yes, this method is indeed the best way to think of at present, after all, the Wa State is too far away from the Great Sui, let alone the sea route? In the first year of the Great Cause, General Liu Fang's expedition to Linyi is still vivid.
"Okay, Xiao Qing's words of sincerity and seeking the country are deeply heartfelt, but stability is steady, and enterprising seems to be insufficient; The Ryukyu Kingdom was included in the territory by Sun Zhongmou at the end of the Han Dynasty, and has always been an important part of the territory of our Celestial Empire. Seeing that the rhythm of the court discussion until now was in his own hands, Yang Guang, who was sitting on the chairman, finally said his thoughts, but he was still afraid of scaring the ministers, so he strategically concealed the fact that he had sent Yuwen to supervise the shipbuilding.
"The minister thinks that Hu Benlang will be Chen Liang up to the task." Changsun Sheng looked at Yang Guang and said proudly, knowing that this battle was inevitable, he still launched the candidate in his mind for the first time.
"I think the veteran Zhang Zhenzhou is the best choice." Wei Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also expressed his opinion, and the rest of the generals of the Wei Mansion, such as Zhang Jinyu Wenshu and others, also expressed their opinions on these two candidates, and the two sides in the hall were at loggerheads and did not give in to each other.
"Su You, which side do you agree with?" Everyone was noisy and finally forgot about Yang Guang who was seated, Yang Guang first coughed and found his sense of existence, and then asked Su You, who had the lowest position in the seat.
"Wechen doesn't object." After a pause, Su You bowed his head and said, "The views of both parties are very reasonable......
"This kid, you're here...... everyone thought disapprovingly, but Su You was still optimistic about his future, after all, many young officials were like born calves when they were just promoted, and it would be difficult for someone like him to be cheeky and have no interest in the future.
"Weichen thinks that it is better to be democratic, and the secret ballot has been resolved, and everyone here can write down the name of the general you want on a piece of paper, and then be elected by the person with the highest vote, isn't it simple and clear?" Su You took it for granted that the democracy of later generations was brought to this court, but he didn't know that he really made a stupid move, not only Yang Guang felt that his rights had been challenged, but even the most powerful bigwigs felt that their abilities were questioned.
"What about playing with this new thing?" Yang Guang saw that the ministers were looking at each other, as if they were all waiting for him to speak; Although Yang Guang felt that his authority was being challenged, he still nodded to Su You, if he categorically vetoed it, it would really be a big loss of face.
When Su You just finished speaking, he also felt the terrible silence in the hall, and finally found that it was he who made a faint move, and even cold sweat broke out for a while, but he still had to do what he had to do, and he had to collect the votes on the table of everyone present.
"Read the results." Yang Guang watched Su You collect the ballots, and said to Su You slowly, at this time, everyone knew that Yang Guang would not care too much about the result.
"Chen Liang has one vote, Chen Liang has two votes...... Zhang Zhen's Monday ticket....Chen Liang three votes... Zhang Zhen's two votes on Monday, Zhang Zhen's Wednesday ticket, and Zhang Zhen's Thursday ticket......" Everyone in the hall listened quietly to Su You's boring singing voice, and one person's performance made Su You feel like he was on pins and needles.
Everyone listened to Su You singing the ticket one after another, and they were also trying to know if the answer was the same as the answer they originally wanted, but Yang Guang looked at Su You expressionlessly, as if the people here were the ones who cared most about the final result.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has finished counting, there are thirty-two members here, and thirty-two valid votes have been received." Su You said, paused again, and said, "Chen Liang and Zhang Zhenzhou each got sixteen votes, and there is still no result, so ......"
"Nonsense." Yang Guang scolded in a low voice, but his mood became comfortable, after all, the final result still had to be his own decision.
"Pei Shiqing, the guest secretary of Honglu, was appointed as an envoy to visit Fuso with the envoy Ono Meizi in Fusang; Ordered Hu Benlang to make Chen Liang the head of the sea crossing, Zhang Zhenzhou as the deputy, and after the fleet went out of the East China Sea, it would join Zhu Kuan, the cloud cavalry captain, and set out for the Ryukyus together......" Yang Guang said loudly, his voice was brisk.
Everyone listened to Yang Guang's decision, and naturally did not dare to have any objections, although this result was a little muddy, but everyone also felt that Yang Guang had been prepared, and his face was not damaged, so at this moment, except for nodding, there was no objection.
Su You listened to Yang Guang and had his own thoughts, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while, he was really like a tiger! But now is not the time for him to be afraid, he has to quickly record Yang Guang's order, and copy several copies as it is.
"Since His Majesty has already made a holy judgment on the matter of crossing the sea, let's discuss the personnel of the Inner History Province again, I don't know what Qizhang Gong has to say?" Xiao Cong saw that Yang Guang had finished arranging the order to send envoys to Fusang and to go to Ryukyu, so he continued to preside over the court meeting, and talked about the personnel arrangements of the Ministry of Internal History.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Taifu Qing Yuanshou can be the internal history order, and Xiao Ding, the inner history houser, can be moved to the internal history waiter." Niu Hong stood up, at this time he was already full of silver hair, but his voice was like a bell.
"The minister seconded the proposal." Nayan Su Wei expressed his opinion first, and the rest of the people also seconded it one after another, although a few people such as Pei Shiju brothers and Zong Zhengqing Yang Yichen did not want to see the Yuan clan dominate the position of this internal history order, so they had no choice but to see that the general trend had gone, so they had no choice but to second.
"It seems that the * of the Inner History Province, Yu Shiji and Yu Shinan brothers used to be squires and sherens, and now the situation is that the Yuanshou brothers are the squires and the squires, and the Xiao uncles and nephews are the squires and the others...... It seems that the only force that he can unite is Fang Xuanling. Su You silently listened to them come forward one by one, and his heart was full of sorrow.
What to do? The only way to get ahead in front of this monopoly is to break this monopoly!
