Chapter Eighty-Four: Another Black Hand

At this moment, Yang Xun can't say it clearly even if he is full of mouths, as Hu Cao Shangshu has not fulfilled his responsibilities, the crime of dereliction of duty is inevitable, plus there is nothing to do with other people's affairs, this is overstepping his authority and openly interfering in military affairs, this crime can't be escaped, if he investigates in detail, maybe he can dig out more things.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird, if this is usually a trivial matter at most, at most it is a punishment, and it is harmless, but now everyone can see that Dong Zhuo is afraid that he is going to take Yang Xun away, and all those present are old immortals who have been mixed with officialdom for most of their lives, and their hearts are like mirrors, and now they have to stand up.

"Your Majesty, as far as Wei Chen knows, this can't be completely blamed on Lord Yang's dereliction of duty, but there have been too many things recently, and I can't be busy! What's more, the treasury is empty at the moment, and there is no way to solve many things, Your Majesty Mingjian! Wang Yun was the first to stand up and exonerate Yang Xun, he didn't expect Meng Ge's kid to fight back so ruthlessly, and now he can only protect Yang Xun.

Taiwei Ma Yuechan, Shangshu Zheng Gongye, Weiwei Zhang Wen and others all stood up to intercede for Yang Xun, these are all old courtiers, kneeling on the golden palace one by one, the young emperor sitting on the stage panicked for a while, and he didn't know what to do, Dong Zhuo next to him glanced slightly, Meng Ge had already told him that someone would definitely intercede for Yang Xun, Dong Zhuo already knew in his heart.

After getting Dong Zhuo's hint, the young emperor took Dong Zhuo's Yinwei, so he had to say: "Everyone, please get up, although Lord Yang has not violated the national law, but he has the crime of negligence and neglect. ”

"Your Majesty, no, now is the time to employ people, it is better to let him treat his crimes and make meritorious contributions!" Wang Yun was suddenly anxious, if Yang Xun was dismissed so easily, Wang Yun was afraid that Dong Zhuo would become more and more unscrupulous in the future, so he hurriedly proposed a strategy to make meritorious contributions.

"Well, what Wang Situ said is right, it is indeed an eventful time now, but Yang Xun is no longer suitable for the position of Hu Cao Shangshu, and the prime minister thinks that other positions should be assigned, what does Your Majesty think?" Dong Zhuo immediately took it, and everyone felt strange, why Dong Zhuo was so good at talking today, and he agreed so easily.

Just when everyone was confused, the young emperor spoke, and decided to remove Yang Xun from his position first, and Dong Zhuo arranged a new position, and the specific position was waiting for Dong Zhuo to speak, but Dong Zhuo did not say it immediately, after all, touching the golden lieutenant is not a glorious position, but the golden palace is not suitable for arranging this position, which Dong Zhuo still knows.

Meng Ge didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if he had nothing to do with her, in fact, it really had nothing to do with Meng Ge, Yang Xun repeatedly contradicted Dong Zhuo, the root of the curse had already been buried, Meng Ge just took advantage of it a little, and another thing that Meng Ge came to here today was to explain the impeachment of him, but there was no need for Meng Ge to say about it.

As soon as he talked about Meng Ge's private transfer to the eight camps, Dong Zhuo immediately stood up and said for Meng Ge, in fact, as long as one sentence, Meng Ge has already reported to the imperial court, if you have anything to say, you can tell Your Majesty, anyway, you have already been promised, if there is any problem, you can find someone else, Dong Zhuo was extremely irresponsible and pushed all the things to the young emperor, and the aggrieved young emperor looked at the fierce light in Dong Zhuo's eyes, and had no choice but to endure it, and admitted the matter in a low voice.

God is pitiful, Liu Bian, this kid didn't see anything on Meng Ge's watch at all, if you want to see it, Dong Zhuo has seen it alone, and Dong Zhuo has done it single-handedly, and it has nothing to do with the young emperor, but the situation is strong, and the young emperor has no choice but to carry this black pot down.

Cai Yong looked at Meng Ge, who was at ease with the old god, and said in a low voice: "Meng boy, you are really good enough, you can finish the matter so quickly!" ”

"General, small carving insect skills, difficult to get into the hall of elegance!" Meng Ge smiled slightly, and replied in a low voice, anyway, this matter is Dong Zhuo's final say, as long as Dong Zhuo greets him here, it will basically be fine, as for the rest, Meng Ge does not need to think about it.

Anyway, now it is covered by Dong Zhuo, Meng Ge naturally has to rely on Dong Zhuo's power to do the best thing, anyway, everyone regards themselves as Dong Zhuo's accomplices, Meng Ge doesn't care about adding a little more crimes, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to maximize the interests is the most important thing.

In fact, the court meeting was quite boring, a stick of old man talked about something, and then a group of people talked about it, Meng Ge sounded strange and boring, but when Dong Zhuo proposed to issue a small amount of money to enrich the treasury, Meng Ge jumped up, and this time the spirit came.

"By no means, Your Majesty, Lord Xiangguo, please listen to me!" Meng Ge jumped out and startled Cai Yong next to him, thinking that Meng Ge was crazy again, he really dared to lose so loudly.

Not to mention that Cai Yong was startled, even Shao Yanjing on the dragon chair was startled by Meng Ge, in fact, the young emperor had long forgotten about Meng Ge, but Meng Ge's voice was so sudden that the entire court was startled.

But now Meng Ge doesn't have the leisure to care about these, what he cares about is Dong Zhuo's behavior of issuing a small amount of money, if he really lets Dong Zhuo send a small amount of money, I'm afraid it won't take long for this Chang'an to be made by him, Meng Ge can't watch this happen, I'm afraid no one present understands the disadvantages of this matter better than Meng Ge.

The consequence of issuing currency casually is inflation, what will be the result of inflation, Meng Ge feels terrible when he thinks about it, if one day the valley on the street becomes 10,000 dollars a bucket, I am afraid that I don't know how many people will have to starve to death again, this kind of major issue of right and wrong Meng Ge must fight on the basis of reason, otherwise Chang'an will be finished.

"Captain Meng, tell me why you can't mint money!" Dong Zhuo came back to his senses in the middle of the ring, it was the first time he saw Meng Ge have such a big reaction, in fact, Dong Zhuo had no choice, now that the treasury was empty, he could only come up with such a bad idea.

"Back to Xiangguo, this problem needs to take some effort, please Rong Weichen slowly, to put it simply, coinage seems to increase the treasury of coins on the surface, but in fact it is a major event that seriously affects people's livelihood, if a large number of coins flow into the people, it will inevitably lead to soaring prices, such a consequence is to seriously affect the circulation of goods, in fact, the reason is very simple, now the goods of the people are certain, coins are basically certain, suddenly into a large number of coins, the total amount of goods has not changed, That is to say, more and more money must be used to buy things, the harm is obvious, if you really do this, people dare not buy things, can not afford to buy things, life must be difficult, taxes have decreased, people will also have to flee Chang'an because of the difficulties in life, or fall into the grass, causing serious consequences, no people, there will be no soldiers and taxes, a large amount of money is actually killing chickens and eggs, absolutely not, Xiangguo people think twice. "It's so annoying to talk about the laws of economics, and Mungo can only briefly explain the truth.

Meng Ge heard Dong Zhuo's words in a cold sweat, soldiers and taxes are the two most important points for Dong Zhuo, to become a warlord, of course Dong Zhuo knows that there is an important surname of soldiers in his hand, Meng Ge explained that Dong Zhuo suddenly sobered up a little, minting money may be able to play a little role for a while, but the consequences are disastrous, Dong Zhuo has to think carefully.

"Captain Meng, I don't think it's as serious as you say, right?" Li Dao suddenly stood up, this stupid guy almost vomited blood when he stuck a pole sideways, Dong Zhuo was already a little moved, but this bastard was embarrassed when he said this.

"Of course, seriously, if there are too many coins minted, there will definitely be a situation where it is difficult to buy things with money, but it is not that you can't mint money, but you need to strictly control the number of coins, once there is a rise and fall in prices, you must be cautious, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable, and now the state is in difficulty, Weichen suggested that the imperial court should reduce the usual expenditures of the imperial court, streamline personnel, in order to tide over the difficulties, Xiangguo should appoint meritocracy, stabilize the situation in Chang'an, and restore prosperity in various places after the future, the treasury is naturally full, so it is the best way, Xiangguo Mingjian!" Meng Ge had to take a step back, just begging Dong Zhuo, the bastard, not to issue coins at will, and at the same time, Meng Ge also proposed another way, that is, to tighten the monetary system and save some unnecessary expenses.

Not to mention anything else, how many of these officials in the imperial court are doing the right thing, Meng Ge feels unpleasant when he looks at it, and simply lays them all off, and this is also the reason for streamlining personnel, and there is no need to spend money that is not necessary, so it is the king's way.

When Meng Ge proposed to streamline personnel on the grounds of state difficulties, Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, this is a good opportunity to eradicate dissidents, as long as you do it properly, isn't it a matter of Dong Zhuo's words to lay off anyone, maintaining the regular expenses of the imperial court itself is a huge expense, Dong Zhuo is also worried about this, and now Meng Ge proposed to cut expenses, of course Dong Zhuo is willing, and a hat of national difficulties is buttoned down, who dares to say a word.

The proposal is good, but as soon as Meng Ge put it forward like this, everyone panicked, everyone knew that Dong Zhuo could not move his own people, so I am afraid that the only people who could move could only be moved were those who couldn't get along with Dong Zhuo, who was not a human spirit after so many years in the court, and the old immortals jumped out one after another, accusing Meng Ge of being demagoguery, and what he said was completely nonsense.

Some people think more, Meng Ge proposed this method, it is clearly a good way to eradicate dissidents, national affairs are difficult, streamlining personnel, it sounds very good, but in the end, they must be unlucky people who are not with Dong Zhuo, how many people have to be laid off this time, I'm afraid no one can say, this time these people's reactions are much more fierce than just now, and they are fighting one by one.

People are like this, once it comes to their own interests, then most of the time they will put their own interests first, after all, no one will watch their own interests suffer, Mongo is so ruthless this time, even he didn't expect these people's reactions to be so fierce.

Dong Zhuo, who was sitting next to the young emperor, looked at everyone in the audience with a smile, he didn't expect that there would be such a good effect, his heart said that Meng Ge was really powerful enough, everyone who could be tossed in a few words cried dad and called his mother, Dong Zhuo couldn't be happier in his heart.

Damn, let it out, Meng Ge looked at the pair of murderous eyes, ruthless, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now that the state affairs are in difficulty, Wechen asks to subtract seventy percent of Wechen's money, for the sake of the Han River, Wechen is willing to donate half of his property and ask His Majesty to fulfill it!" ”

Anyway, Meng Ge's family doesn't have much money, donating half of it doesn't hurt at all, the money is gone, and then there are not many people in the family, thirty percent of the money is more than enough to support the family, Meng Ge is not worried about starving to death at all, and Dong Zhuo will definitely not let Meng Ge starve to death, but other people are not like this, there are a lot of slaves to raise, now Dong Zhuo is in power, there is no real power, there is no way to be corrupt and bribe, and the money is reduced again, I am afraid that many people will have to tighten their belts.

Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with Meng Ge's performance, immediately nodded, and said with a smile: "Captain Meng is really loyal and patriotic, but subtracting seventy percent is too much, I can see half of it, Ben is quite an example, and also subtract half of the money, donate half of the family wealth, and use it to fill the treasury, please Your Majesty agree, and all the adults can also say something!" ”

Anyway, Dong Zhuo now controls the imperial court, it doesn't matter where the money is placed, it's all his own, it's just that he moved his position, Dong Zhuo is not worried about the money flying suddenly, but there are not many opportunities to rob money like this.

A group of old men look at me and I look at you, their faces are extremely ugly, no one dares to stand up and speak, even Wang Yun, who is usually the most active, is silent, Meng Ge can generously donate half of the family wealth and cut half of the money, but Wang Yun can't, he still has a huge family to support, cutting the money is like cutting meat, how can he be willing to give it.

The court suddenly became silent, Meng Ge wiped his sweat, looked at these people with a smile, and his heart was extremely happy, now you have nothing to say, I asked myself to reduce seventy percent, donate half of the family wealth, and you can watch the rest be done.

Everyone on the left and right dared to stand up and speak, Dong Zhuo's face became more and more ugly, no one here knew each other, Dong Zhuo suddenly became angry, and said coldly: "This matter will be discussed again tomorrow, retreat from the dynasty!" ”

The eyes of the people present were straightened, Meng Ge was so disturbed and everyone was dumbfounded, and after Dong Zhuo and the young emperor left, the Golden Palace suddenly exploded, and even Wang Yun, the old man's face, changed, if Dong Zhuo was really allowed to do this, no one present who was against Dong Zhuo would have a good time.

Taking advantage of the quarrel between these people, Meng Ge quietly slipped out, his goal had been achieved, Dong Zhuo Bacheng was more interested in the second suggestion, minting money was harmful, but cutting expenses and streamlining personnel could eradicate dissidents, and it was more conducive to controlling the imperial court, and he knew the benefits of doing so with his ass.

Cai Yong, who had been by Meng Ge's side, was about to be angry, and as soon as Meng Ge left with his front foot, the old man rushed out angrily and asked loudly: "Meng boy, you stop me, what the hell are you doing, why do you do such a thing that harms others and yourself?" ”

"Share the worries of the big man, you see that I have asked myself to halve my fortune and donate half of my family wealth, right?" Meng Ge replied with a light word, Cai Yong was suddenly dumbfounded, if he knew how much half of Meng Ge's family wealth was, he would have to vomit blood.
