Chapter 208: Make a big move
"Zirui, is there something wrong with you?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Datong's relief and food have been allocated, and the handover of the relevant dispatched officials has been completed...", Peng Yue stood aside and lowered his head and said. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Okay...", Zhu Houxi smiled slightly, "If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court couldn't do without you, I really wanted to send you to the northwest to preside over it personally, those officials, I don't worry..."
When Peng Yue heard Zhu Houyu say this, he couldn't help but secretly be careful, he was afraid that Zhu Houxi's words had other meanings, but looking at Zhu Houxi's eyes, it didn't look like there was any pun, so he didn't show anything.
"The heart of the minister is the society, as long as he can relieve His Majesty's worries, it doesn't hurt to go anywhere..."
"Hehe... It doesn't matter where you go, I can't bear to let you leave the imperial court...", Zhu Houxi looked at Peng Yue intently, "Do you have the list of dispatched officials now, I want to take a look..."
"Back to Your Majesty, those officials were not selected by the ministers, but were appointed by Yan Ge Lao..." Peng Yue's heart was excited, in fact, even if Zhu Houxi didn't ask, Peng Yue was ready to find a reason to tell the matter, but since Zhu Houxi asked at this time, he would save himself from looking for an opportunity.
But why did Zhu Houxi take the initiative to ask about this? Could it be that he also noticed Yan Song's domineering, so he wanted to ask? Don't you have doubts about yourself, worried that you will take this opportunity to get on the line with the people and things of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War? Then I should avoid suspicion... For a while, a variety of possibilities and ideas poured into Peng Yue's heart, making him frown secretly.
"Oh?" , Zhu Houxi's expression moved. "Hehe... But I'm confused, Yan Song is now the secretary of the ministry. And the cabinet excerpts are all written by him, but I shouldn't have asked you..."
Listening to Zhu Houxi's unclear statement. Peng Yue couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but Zhu Houxi said that he was confused, and he couldn't answer this kind of talk, so he could only be silent on the side.
"Now in the northwest, there shouldn't be such a mess, right?" , Zhu Houxi saw that Peng Yue didn't speak, but he opened his mouth first, "Last time you went to the fold, I said this time." In the process of quelling the turmoil, the governor of Shanxi Zeng Mill made a lot of meritorious contributions and made a great contribution, right? ”
"Yes, the governor of Shanxi, Zeng Miao, and the governor of Shaanxi, Weng Wanda, are both good generals, and they refused to answer this time, so it can be said that the two of them have the greatest credit..."
"Forget it, Weng Wanda, he has lost a lot of battles before. Although he should be encouraged, he should also be sharpened in a timely manner...", Zhu Houxi yawned as he said, "Zeng Milling is good. can be regarded as brave and strategic, and now there is a lack of personal management in the northwest... In this way, he will be promoted to the head of the military department. Governor of Trilateral Military Affairs. ”
Peng Yue listened to Zhu Houxi's appointment, and naturally he was also happy. Busy and happily said, "Your Majesty is wise..."
However, at this time, Zhu Houxi didn't seem very happy. still had an expressionless look, "Right now, I will retreat, but the recovery of Shanxi is a big problem, I am afraid that the silver of the imperial court will not be enough..."
"Zirui, you said that if you add some taxes to the ports on the southeast coast, how about this?" It turns out that since Peng Yue's suggestion and the opening of trade, both the government and the people have benefited from it, but due to Zhu Houxi's various worries and restrictions, the scale is still not too large.
But the money came from a real place, and Zhu Houxi also tasted the sweetness, so as soon as he was short of money, he wanted to knock on the port, even if he made a lot of profits, he couldn't stand his toss. Therefore, Peng Yue regarded this matter as a political weight, once he really "asked" Zhu Houxi, he would loosen his mouth on the tax increase for port trade, but it was really not a way to do so.
"Your Majesty, the tax at the port really can't be increased, otherwise the trade routes will be reduced, and the profits will shrink...", Peng Yue couldn't explain those economic principles to Zhu Houxi, but he just said very earnestly, "Your Majesty, the minister will find a way to increase the amount of profit of the imperial court in Caoyun..."
Zhu Houxi was a little embarrassed when he heard Peng Yue say that, and Peng Yue also said that he would find a way to solve the problem, so he didn't want to intervene more, "Okay, Aiqing is in charge of this matter, I am very relieved..."
"Your Majesty, the minister is still quite worried about another matter...", Peng Yue's expression was solemn, and he was ready to make a big move to Zhu Houxi...
"Oh? What's the matter? ”
"Your Majesty, this time the grain manager and a cadre of officials sent to the northwest by Yan Ge Lao, the minister does not agree... Many people have committed bad deeds, and this would be fine on weekdays, but now the situation in the northwest is like this, and the minister is very kind of to many of them... I'm not worried..."
"What do you mean..."
"The ministers are afraid that they will be corrupt...", Peng Yue said bluntly.
"It's... They shouldn't dare, right? ”
"Your Majesty, sometimes they don't want to, they don't dare, but if there is external pressure, they have to do it..."
"Aiqing, what do you mean?" , Zhu Houxi asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to report that the last Datong mutiny, saying that it was because of the lack of food, and a large part of the food... It's Yan Ge's old greed for ink! Although Peng Yue's voice was very small, he said very firmly.
"What?" , Zhu Houxi's eyes widened in disbelief, "What did you say?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister will not dare to speak in vain...", Peng Yue said as he took out a booklet from his arms, "Your Majesty, this is the evidence that the minister found privately, all the data and channels should be recorded in the book, and I hope Your Majesty will see it..."
Peng Yue's move not only stunned Zhu Houxi, but also stunned Huang Jin on the side: It turned out that Peng Yue was fully prepared to come to congratulate Yan Song to the death, and when it was over, he was invisibly tied to the warship, and he thought it was just a matter of saying a few words that didn't matter, but now it was a big game, why didn't Peng Yue tell him in advance, this is a bit unkind...
"Your Majesty, if you are greedy, it is fine, but it is a military salary, and the war in the northwest is urgent..."
Peng Yue immediately closed his mouth in amusement, but looked at Zhu Houxi with unblinking eyes, and carefully read the booklet he had just taken from his hand... (To be continued.) )
