Yan Song and Xu Jie arrived, and the show began, and the eunuch of the celebrant led all the adults to the main hall of Yuxi Palace.

Tang Yi, as the one with the least qualifications, naturally fell last, and as soon as he took a few steps, he felt that someone in front of him was blocking the way, and when he looked up, a familiar old face was Zhao Zhenji. This Lord Zhao deliberately slowed down and waited for Tang Yi.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a few years, what happened back then, old man...... I feel ashamed! Zhao Zhenji said in a voice that only two people could hear.

Tang Yi was stunned, and he was about to enter the cabinet to pay respects, why did Zhao Zhenji say this? Could it be that it has become canvassing?

"Lord Zhao, the past is over, why do you bother?" Tang Yi said.

"Hey!" Zhao Zhenji sighed: "Okay, you are young, you are in a high position, the future of the court depends on you, you can focus on the overall situation, very good!" Remember, don't forget the original intention! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhenji quickened his pace and left Tang Yi behind.

All the way to Yuxi Palace, after giving a big gift to Jiajing, Tang Yi's mind still echoed Zhao Zhenji's words, from the tone of the old master, he couldn't hear the spirit, on the contrary, there was a bit of depression, and even the taste of improvism.

Could it be that Zhao Zhenji had a premonition that he would not be able to pass the court push, or did Zhao Zhenji feel that the old man was not easy to do, and he might get out at any time, so he took the initiative to say a few words?

Full of doubts, Tang Yi peeked at every move above the hall. Jiajing was still sitting on the cloud bed, covered by a thick curtain, and only a hazy black shadow could be seen.

The old manager McFuy dragged a long note and shouted: "There is a morning music, and there is no retreat." ”

As soon as the words fell, Feng Tianyu, the right attendant of the ministry, stood up, but it was not his turn to speak, but Wu Peng, the Shangshu, and Dong Fen, the left attendant, were both impeached. I thought about it behind closed doors at home.

Feng Tianyu said loudly: "A few days ago, the cabinet Xiaoyu six departments and nine secretaries convened officials above the fourth grade in Beijing to jointly elect new cabinet members, and today is the day to elect cabinet members. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone stared with bated breath. mentioned attention, I have long heard that the two sides are going to war, and now that it is finally here, let's see if the first battle can be won by Yan Ge Lao, or Xu Ge Lao is more clever!

The most nervous person is only afraid of Xu Jie, although he is not wavering on the surface, but his heart is a huge wave, how many years of forbearance, just for the sake of today.

Come on, I'm ready. For the country, hoe and rape, right now!

Xu Jie nodded slightly, and Zheng Xiao, the imperial history of the right capital, who had been instructed, was about to stand up and recommend candidates.

Just as Yan Song suddenly coughed twice, everyone's eyes fell on him.

"Shousuke-sama, what do you have to say?" McFuy asked, in fact, he was asking for Jiajing.

Yan Song raised his head, a pair of old eyes. Swept across everyone's face and smiled. Everyone didn't know what Yan Song's calculations were. Listen to them all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are more than 9.7 million taels of people in the household department and the city department, of which 2 million taels are used to pay off the deficit of previous years, and more than 3 million taels of military expenses have been spent on the nine sides and southeast, and 4 million taels have been spent by the Ministry of Industry. The hundred officials are more than 1.5 million taels. After calculating it, not only did there be no balance, but there was also a deficit of more than one million taels. What about this year...... It was time for the decisive battle against the Japanese in the southeast, and Hu Zongxian wrote several times to increase the number of warships by 100. The Ministry of War has agreed. Then the Ministry of Industry will build Chaotian Temple and Xuandu Temple this year, and most of the materials will be shipped from Nanyang, and the cost is not small. There was a severe drought in several provinces in the Central Plains last year, and there has been no rain this spring, so I am afraid that I will have to come up with a large sum of money to relieve the victims, which is not easy......"

Yan Song pulled a miscellaneous, as if reciting a scripture, and said all the expenses again, Tang Yi listened to it in his ears and was angry in his heart.

He worked hard to help the court double his income, but in the end it was still not enough, and it can only be said that these things are too losers!

I saw Yan Song change the conversation and say to his son: "Yan Shifan, what do you think?" ”

"I thought we had to save money, otherwise even if we could make a mountain of gold, it would be hollowed out." Yan Shifan said simply.

"Do you have a solution?"

Yan Shifan said with a smile: "Among the various expenses listed just now, the largest expenditure is the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, I have ordered the Ministry of Industry to carefully calculate, break a copper plate into two halves, and strive to repair the palace, and save another 800,000 taels." Yan Shifan gritted his teeth, as if he really had the ability.

Yan Song nodded with a smile, "It's good to have this determination, but what about the military department?" ”

Tang Shunzhi stood up helplessly, "Qi Yu Shoufu, there are three major expenditures of the Ministry of War, one is the southeast, this one must not be reduced, and then there are the world soldiers and military households in various places, if it is reduced again, I am afraid that the local area will be chaotic." ”

Before he finished speaking, Yan Shifan interjected: "So only Jiubian can make up his mind?" ”

Tang Shunzhi nodded, "That's true, if Yan Butang has a good move, just point out." Tang Shunzhi's words were soft thorns, Yan Shifan didn't care, looked around at everyone, and said loudly: "The southeast is a big war every year, and even the battles are victorious, but what about the nine sides, the military salary spent is not a few, but it is always defeated, and my people of the Ming Dynasty are frightened and frightened under the iron hooves of my answer, and the day is precarious. ”

Saying that, Yan Shifan actually squeezed out two tears of sadness, and many people from the Yan Party stood up one after another, praising Yan Shifan for worrying about the country and the people, and the words of praise made Gusu numb, Tang Yi almost vomited the ginseng soup he had just drunk.

Feng Tianyu, the right attendant of the ministry on the side, stood up, "Yan Butang cares about border affairs, I admire it very much, I am indeed rampant and hateful, and now it is time to elect a respected cabinet member to assist the two cabinet elders, cheer up, and beat me up." ”

The people of the Xu Party also came out to echo, but Yan Shifan shook his head like a rattle.

"In vain, you are still scholars, why don't you even know the priorities, I have just withdrawn from the Great Wall, and this is a good time to reorganize the army and improve the military strength. Isn't it possible to wait until next year, when I will kill again, to discuss how to prevent it? ”

Yan Shifan, this guy is really powerful, he took out a big hat against me, whoever dares to oppose him will be despised by everyone regardless of the overall situation.

Seeing that the people of the Xu Party did not dare to speak, Yan Shifan was full of ambition, and said to Yan Song: "I think that everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted, and a respected commissioner should be sent to Jiliao, Baoding and other places to supervise and train the troops, one is to save money, and the other is to improve the military strength and teach the northern captives a hard lesson!" ”

Yan Song pretended to be and said: "Yan Shifan, what you said is light, Jiliao already has a governor, and then send someone over, can it be effective?" ”

"Yes." Yan Shifan said firmly: "The original governor focuses on commanding the troops, and the new governor focuses on training troops and salaries, and the two sides cooperate and complement each other. For example, in the southeast, the responsibility for the battle fell on the governors of the provinces, and the governor Hu Zongxian supervised the training of troops and overall planning. ”

Yan Song nodded happily, "That's right, one outside the main and one inside the main is a good way." It's just the Chinese martial arts, who is the right candidate? ”

Yan Shifan said with a smile: "This person must be proficient in money and food affairs, and he must be young and strong, and he must have the courage to do things, and he is not afraid of strong enemies......

Yan Song's father and son sang and harmonized, Tang Yi saw it in his eyes and understood everything.

The situation is obvious, Yan Dang knew that at this time, Tingtui University scholars, they had no chance of winning, so they planned to open up another battlefield.

Yan Song threw out the problem of insufficient finances, Yan Shifan followed up, talking about saving military expenses and supervising the training of soldiers, which was basically digging a pit, and the person to be buried was Zhao Zhenji!

Zhao Zhenji has been a household waiter, he is familiar with the food and salary, and he once rode out of the city alone, comforted the Chu army, and fought against me, with courage and courage, and he was just in his early fifties, and he could be regarded as young and strong. Yan Shifan's standards are simply tailor-made for Zhao Zhenji.

Can Zhao Zhenji refute it?

Tang Yi only felt that it was difficult, it was very difficult, and I had invaded for many years, which was regarded as a great shame by Jiajing. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty gritted their teeth and hated it.

Whoever dares not to go, is afraid of my answer, is to raise the morale of others to destroy his own prestige, is to be timid, this infamy Zhao Zhenji can't afford it, and no one can afford it.

Even if Zhao Zhenji exposed the despicable thoughts of the Yan Party, it was useless, even if outsiders sympathized with him, they would not help him speak, for fear of provoking the infamy of fearing the enemy like a tiger.

Is this the Yan Party's counterattack? It's despicable, but it's also sharp enough!

Tang Yi shuddered suddenly, before the court meeting, Xu Ge Lao still swore that he was sure to win, why did the situation change suddenly when it came to the court meeting, and the advantage was in the hands of the Yan Party again?

The pass is that Yan Song, as the first assistant, can control the content of the court discussion and guide the direction.

To use an inappropriate analogy, Yan Song is like a businessman, who has the final right to interpret the event. Xu Ge worked hard and got the winning number, and he wanted to redeem the prize, but people told you that I'm sorry, the event was invalidated. Xu Jie's depression can be imagined.

That's the difference between a deputy and a full-time officer.

Xu Jieyin Wu Shan, Yan Dang was not polite, and put the spearhead on Zhao Zhenji. can meet, take over the post of supervising the salary and training of soldiers, Zhao Zhenji is equivalent to being hollowed out, don't forget who is the current governor of Jiliao?

That's Yang Bo!

How can Old Master Zhao be someone's opponent!

Tang Yi looked at it with sympathy, but found that Zhao Zhenji's hair was all open, panting like a cow, and he looked desperate. It's not good to scream, if Zhao Zhenji admits it, there is still an empty position, and with a position, he can make a comeback. If you don't admit it, you will fight back, and if you don't do it, you will lose your official position and resign. According to the old master's previous style, the possibility is extremely high, don't forget that he was demoted to a pawn.

At this time, Yan Shifan had already turned to Zhao Zhenji triumphantly, and said with a smile: "The candidate I recommend is ......"

Before the words could be spoken, a complaint suddenly came from the door of the hall, "Yan Butang, the lower officials have just entered Beijing, why don't you let people rest!" ”

In this voice, it was full of complaints and grievances, and all the officials present turned their heads to look, enjoying Tang Yi, who was in the limelight, and said with a look of grievance: "What are you looking at me for?" Isn't the person recommended by Yan Butang to supervise the training of soldiers an officer? (To be continued.) )
