At this moment, the eyes of most of the courtiers also looked directly at Wu Ming with King Wei Hui's words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the people who didn't look at Wu Ming were not only Hui Shi, Bai Hu, Zhu Wei and some other people, but also added a special Chen Zhen who should be like this in the headquarters. And at this time, Chen Zhen lowered his head and thought about his own affairs. It seems that he did not listen to the things in this great hall.

As the voice drifted away, there was silence in the hall.

At this moment, Wu Ming slowly took a step, and raised his hand to salute without hurrying, "Your Majesty, Weichen returned to the dynasty this time, for the sake of the reform of Hedong." ”

"Hedong?" Although Wu Ming's words sound no problem, the reform of Hedong, from Wu Ming's progress to today's achievements in the Wei State, is obvious to all.

This time, when it comes to reform, King Wei Hui should be excited. But I don't know why, King Wei Hui felt that Wu Ming was strange at this time. Not only King Wei Hui, but also those who listened carefully to Hui Shi felt weird.

The same Wu Ming will find a way to strengthen the Wei State, but he will also take the opportunity to ask for benefits to rectify the army. This time, not only did he not ask for benefits, but he also did not ask for anything from the treasury in the past six months.

Although it is true that there is no such thing in the treasury, Wu Ming does not want these things, which is still worth pondering.

"What does Aiqing want to change, you might as well say it directly, as long as it is beneficial to my Wei subjects, the widow will definitely not open his mouth to refuse." After a little thought, King Wei Hui finally threw down a bold sentence.

"Yes." Hearing that, Wu Ming bowed his hand again and said bluntly: "Judging from the current situation in Hedong. The yield of crops is definitely higher than in previous years, but most of the men in Hedong have joined the army, and this harvest will definitely contribute to the army. At present, the life of the people in Hedong is not easy, and the army has to store grain. Weichen means that he asks the king to hand over the future taxes and grain collection in Hedong to the army, so as to ensure the grain and grass used by the army. ”

"Your Majesty." As soon as Wu Ming's words fell, when he was not in a hurry to think of something for King Wei Hui, Hui Shi had already stood up, "The people are living in hardship, and it is a good thing for the general to understand the people's feelings. It's just that the taxes and grain are collected by the army, doesn't it mean that the affairs of Hedong are all decided by the general alone. What will happen to the treasury in the future? ”

The main tax in this era was grain. There are not many people who do business, and most of the things are directly managed by the imperial court, and they have little to do with merchants at all.

Grain and some taxes were handed over to the barracks. Wu Ming's meaning can make the integration of military and civilian more appropriate, but this is also a way to ensure the grain and grass used by the army.

But it sounds inappropriate.

Hui Shi's words fell. The white tiger standing behind him stepped out again, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, all the taxes paid by one party and not under the control of the treasury are all fiefdoms. Or really do what the general said, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

Fiefdom, that is a courtier who has made a particularly great contribution to the country, and even has to be a high merit to cover the lord can only appear, and most of this is the business of the royal family, and it is absolutely difficult for outsiders to have this kind of treatment.

At this time, after Bai Hu said this, a common phenomenon instantly appeared in the minds of the ministers.

What is this, for the sake of the army and the military and civilians in Hedong. This is simply that he Wu Ming wants to change his words and become a feudal monarch in Hedong.

Of course, no one dared to say this directly, but Baihu's roundabout words had already explained the matter, and none of the people in the court were fools, and they understood just this sentence.

King Wei Hui finally heard something at this time. Although since Wu Ming and Chen Zhen began to preside over the court, King Wei Hui's attitude towards Hui Shi and others has been lukewarm.

But this time, King Wei Hui suddenly discovered that Hui Shi and the others were not useless, and they should be able to give themselves a wake-up call at a critical time. Although he himself knew that this was the result of Hui Shi and others' prejudice against Wu Ming.

But what White Tiger said just now couldn't help but think about it more.

After a commotion in the entire court, calm instantly returned. Only the water leak in the corner of the hall was still ticking and ticking.

"Ahem—" After a while, King Wei Hui's body began to lean back. The smile on his face was also slightly retracted, and said: "What Wu Aiqing said, the stakes are very high, let the widow think about it again." As for what happens, it's not too late tomorrow to talk about it. ”

After that, he glanced at the ministers and said, "Do you Aiqing have anything else to do?" ”

A word was asked, but the ministers were silent.

After a while, King Wei Hui stood up and said, "Retreat." ”

……

That afternoon, Chen Zhen was napping in a rocking chair in her courtyard. The warm wind blew him a little drowsy.

"Did that Boss Ling from Fengyue Tower come to me today?" Squinting slightly, Chen Zhen asked softly.

The servant waiting on the side hurriedly bowed his body and said, "Lord Hui, Boss Ling has never been to the house. ”

"None? This is not like his Ling Tianxue's appearance, this guy's things are not good, he has always come two or three times a day, but he didn't come today. ”

"I really haven't been here."

Chen Zhen began to think about this question.

The gusts of wind bring the fragrance of flowers, which is intoxicating.

Just when Chen Zhen was about to put this matter aside from his mind for the time being, the servant on the side bowed and said, "My lord, I heard that yesterday afternoon, someone saw the general coming out of Fengyue Tower, and it was personally sent by that Boss Ling." ”

"The general went to Fengyue Tower?" As soon as she heard this, Chen Zhen immediately jumped up from the rocking chair with a muttering to herself, "This dog minion, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

"Yes, yes, the little one originally wanted to say it in the morning, but I didn't want the adults to come back, and the little one forgot about it. Now the adults only remember when they mention the small ones. ”

"Hmph, why did you forget to ignore you?" Chen Zhen made a fierce face and said viciously, "Go and prepare the car." ”

"Yes, yes—"

The servant answered cautiously and departed. But at this time, another servant hurriedly ran in, and he didn't care about saluting, and shouted directly to Chen Zhen from afar: "My lord, you are here." ”

But before Chen Zhen could react, the voice of the minister had already sounded in the entire courtyard.

"The king is driving to the ......"

Chen Zhen, who heard the voice, was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, and didn't care about anything else, pushed the servant away and ran out directly.

Halfway through the corridor, Chen Zhen and King Wei Hui bumped into each other.

couldn't help but say, Chen Zhen immediately bowed his hand, "Weichen greeted the king, I didn't know that the king was coming, I missed the welcome, and I hope the king will forgive the sin." ”

"Chen Aiqing, please get up quickly." King Wei Hui smiled with a smile on his face, without the slightest hint of reproach.

"Thank you for your innocence." Chen Zhen straightened up at this time, but then he asked again, "I don't know why the king is here, it's windy and sunny outside, you have something to do and directly let people recruit Weichen into the palace, you have to be careful of your body." ”

The look on his face was genuinely fearful.

"Haha, the widow does have something to say to Chen Aiqing." After a loud laugh, King Wei Hui walked straight to the front, "I feel bored when I stay in the palace all the time, it's better to go out for a walk." ”

"Well, that's what your lord said." Chen Zhen followed behind him, always in a bowed posture. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured, "Hehe, please." ”

After a while, the two of them had already entered the main hall.

After the two of them sat down, King Wei Hui asked directly: "Don't hide it from Chen Aiqing, this time I came here for today's court meeting." This Wu Aiqing is not bad at governing the army, but why does he always make some strange requests. The widow thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, so he wanted to come here to talk to Aiqing about it. ”

When it comes to respecting the king, this Chen Zhen is really not picky. From the moment King Wei Hui arrived, his mind was all on King Wei Hui.

Those eyes never left the figure of King Wei Hui, just waiting for King Wei Hui's question or request: "Return, your lordship, if this matter is promised to the general, it is indeed a little inappropriate, after all, this tax matter is not a trivial matter, if this is handed over to the general, then the situation in Hedong is only as Lord Xiangguo said." ”

"yes, the widow is thinking about it too." With a light sigh, King Wei Hui moved his fat body and said, "Just now, the widow also summoned Hui Aiqing, and he directly rejected Wu Aiqing's proposal. But having said that, Wu Aiqing's contribution to Hedong is obvious to all, and Liu denied it so directly, is it also a little reckless! The psychology of widows always feels sorry for Wu Aiqing. But Wu Aiqing is inevitably suspected of being a feudal monarch, and he is still a great general——"

King Wei Hui's words always revealed a touch of sorrow.

And in the process of listening to Chen Zhen, it can be said that those eyes have never been honest. It's been dripping and spinning.

As a rising rookie, Chen Zhen is still very capable of figuring out Junxin. He couldn't hear that King Wei Hui was worried that Wu Ming was holding military power and was giving him the right to pay taxes in Hedong. As far as the current situation is concerned, the military and civilians in Hedong have already embraced Wu Ming, and if something happens in the future......

It's just that the current King Wei Hui doesn't want to say it too clearly.

Chen Zhen smiled, and simply said the topic like a blank place: "The gentleman is wise." Don't hide it from the king, Weichen has also been thinking about this problem, and now the people of Hedong are already in full swing of support for the general. If we allow this to develop, it will not necessarily be a good thing for our Wei State. But right now, the nations are competing, and my Wei country can't do without a general, so this matter is indeed a little difficult to do——"

"Difficult?" King Wei Hui opened his eyes and immediately insisted on these two words, but then said vaguely: "The widow's head is too big, but he can't think of a way to do both." In the current court, you have the most ways to do it. If Aiqing has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, if you say it wrong, the widow will forgive you without sin. ”

"Thank you."

Chen Zhen was waiting for this, and he listened to King Wei Hui at this time. Chen Zhen immediately bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you can also promise the general in this matter." But this military power, according to Weichen's opinion, although the son is presumptuous, although he has no plan. But there is no lack of courage in men, and the swordsmen he accepted were already hundreds at the most, all of whom were desperate people who obeyed their words. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhen deliberately looked at King Wei Hui's expression. Seeing that he was just thinking quietly, he knew that King Wei Hui had already advanced in, so he continued: "Weichen has also gone to see Gongzi in private, and after this incident, Gongzi's heart can be said to have grown a lot, and the arrogance of the past is long gone. According to Weichen's meaning, the king can let Gongzi retrain a group of people who dare to die in Liang Yuan, and Liang Yuan's 20,000 troops are also under the command of Gongzi, but it can be said to the outside world that in order not to let the general be distracted by domestic security, Gongzi was specially let serve as the general of defending the city.

In this way, the son can make meritorious service at night. When the time comes, after the vitality of our Wei State recovers, the king can expand the Liang garrison at his discretion, and this army will only guard the grand prize, not for other purposes. For foreign wars, look for generals.

Moreover, the taxes in Hedong were handed over to the generals, and the fact that this military ration could greatly reduce the pressure on the treasury. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhen's two eyes had already begun to glow. With a slight smile on his face, he stared at King Wei Hui directly.

He knew that King Wei Hui had really listened. He was waiting, waiting for King Wei Hui's answer.

But as the work of a cup of tea passed, King Wei Hui finally put away his thoughts and said lightly: "Aiqing is really a genius!" It's just that the current General Wu has no disobedience to the widow, and this kind of action doesn't make the widow like the world explain that the widow doesn't trust the general? If what General Wu asked for was only for the foundation of my Wei State, wouldn't this make General Wu suspicious? ”

When the words fell, King Wei Hui shook his head thoughtfully, and finally denied Chen Zhen's words: "This method, it still doesn't work." Is there any other way for Aiqing? ”

"Hey, hey. You don't have to be like this. Chen Zhen smiled and took a sip of the tea that had just cooled, and then continued: "If the general has no second heart, he will be a general no matter what the king does." If there are two hearts, what the king does, the people of Hedong also believe in him. But if you still want to have the best of both worlds, it's not impossible. ”

"Oh?" At this moment, King Wei Hui's heart was dropped by Chen Zhen, and after listening to the last sentence of 'It's not impossible', King Wei Hui's eyes were already wide and looked at Chen Zhen, "Aiqing, let's talk about it, how is this a method of both worlds?" ”

With a mysterious smile, Chen Zhen deliberately leaned close to his body and said in a low voice: "This method is to add a little bit in addition to what I just said." The general is a national meritorious, why doesn't the king allow a princess to marry the general? In this way, in the heart of the general, there should be no other objection to the king's use of the prince. Besides, Rong Weichen said something that shouldn't be said. The king said before that he missed His Royal Highness the Prince, and with the current age of the prince, he should also know some things about the court. In case the crown prince and General Wu do not agree, there is also room for maneuver. ”
