Jiang Bing's case unexpectedly began to dig deeper, the more this case was tried, the more heart-pounding it became, involving the vassal king, not to mention the most powerful vassal king in the world, it can be said that many of the things Jiang Bing confessed were related to King Ning's rebellion, even if the court wanted to punish the crime, this King Ning was only afraid that he would die without a burial.

The problem is, this King Ning is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the palace suddenly wants to investigate this case, what if King Ning jumps off the wall in a hurry?

The current situation is indeed worrying, after Emperor Wen ascended the throne, the vassal kings were repeatedly suppressed, but only for this King Ning is extremely rich, when Emperor Wen was martyred, King Ning responded with Duoyan Sanwei, Emperor Wen had sworn to King Ning, saying that once the matter was completed, he was willing to share the world equally with King Ning, but later Emperor Wen ascended the throne but broke his promise, but because of the guilt of King Ning, although he was sealed in Jiangxi, but King Ning's fief and the number of guards given were the largest, among the vassal kings in the world, the richest person was King Ning, The person with the heaviest authority in the fief is none other than King Ning, and it is precisely for this reason that after so many years, King Ning has become the bane of the tail.

In fact, the imperial court did not know what King Ning had done in Jiangxi before, but he had always turned a blind eye, this kind of thing could not be managed, and if it was managed, it would have to compete with each other, and it might even lead to turmoil.

It's just that such a policy of appeasement has finally gone bankrupt, Jiang Bing's side has spoken out, and King Ning's charges have surfaced, bullying the king, instigating the assassination of ministers, befriending Hanlin, and plotting against him. Any one of these charges is enough to ruin King Ning's reputation.

But the question is, will King Ning be arrested?

Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, is not lightly angry, what does he want to do in this palace? There are now rumors in the palace that the emperor is seriously ill, is it really necessary to prepare for war at this time? In fact, in the past two years, the court is not afraid of going to war, after all, now the treasury is abundant, and it can be maintained if it is really defeated, and the most important thing is that it must be prepared to fight it, the new army has not been trained well, and the border army cannot be mobilized, there are many military horses in the guards everywhere in the world, and the total number is also a lot, and there are millions of records alone, but Liu Daxia knows in his heart that these people who make the register are one thing, and how many are really another thing, and it is not bad that this number can have half of the number registered, Coupled with the outrageously low combat effectiveness of this kind of army, which will collapse at the slightest touch, relying on them to quell the rebellion, it is simply a joke.

When he said, Liu Daxia went up to a recital, wanting to suppress this matter, but who knew that the recital was handed in, but there was no response at all, and then I got the news that His Majesty was seriously ill and could not see things, so ...... The book is left in the middle.

At this moment, Liu Daxia was dumbfounded, not to mention that he was dumbfounded, the cabinet had already begun to call people to discuss the matter, and there were not many people participating in the meeting, that is, several cabinet ministers and the books of various ministries, in addition, there was also the prince's participation in the audit, and it was said that even Jinyiwei commanded Liu Chengfeng to come.

Liu Daxia arrived at the cabinet angrily, everyone who should have come had already come, Zhu Houzhao sat in the first place, Liu Jian on the left, and Li Dongyang and Xie Qian in order. What made Liu Daxia feel most uncomfortable was the few people sitting on the right side, and on the right side of Zhu Houzhao, it was Liu Chengfeng who was sitting, followed by Ma Wensheng and a few Shangshu.

Zhu Houzhao was whispering with Liu Chengfeng at this time, and the others were sitting upright, Liu Daxia was very unhappy in his heart, who was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he dared to sit in the first place, and the dignified officials were still in the book, and they actually sat under the commander of the Jinyi Guard, what does this mean?

Liu Daxia also knew in his heart that the arrangement of this seat was only set by the prince, and the prince and Liu Chengfeng had always been good friends, maybe Liu Chengfeng would enthusiastically summon Liu Chengfeng to the side to sit as soon as he arrived, but this is the cabinet, not a private occasion, the prince is the prince, and he can't act according to his personal likes and dislikes.

Liu Daxia looked depressed, but had to find a place to sit down, he first glanced at Liu Jian, Liu Jian did not show the appearance of mountain dew, seeing that everyone was here, Liu Jian coughed, and then spoke: "Everyone is here, today Your Majesty can not go to court early, so there are some things, we have to brainstorm and discuss together, His Royal Highness the Prince is also here today, and let the prince listen to the government well." ”

Liu Jian explained the matter clearly in one sentence, and called everyone to come to discuss important matters, as for the prince, he just listened to the government and did not express any opinions.

There was nothing wrong with Liu Jian's words, but Liu Chengfeng felt that Liu Jian's words were said to himself, as if he was afraid that the prince would listen to his instigation and make a random decision, so he directly put the prince aside first.

Zhu Houzhao, a scheming person, couldn't hear Liu Jian's words, but Liu Chengfeng heard it, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise, but he just smiled slightly.

Liu Jian continued to speak: "The old man and Bin Zhi and Yu Qiao have entered the palace to see the saint, and the saint is already seriously ill, hey...... As courtiers, we are certainly worried in our hearts, but it is not something for us to be sad about at the moment, the more your majesty is in poor health, the most important thing for us is to share our worries for the king, not to be sad in vain. The first thing to be discussed today is still the flood, the Yangtze River in Henan is overflowing, flooding 13 counties, and the population affected by the disaster is as much as 200,000, what do you think? ”

Ye Qi, the secretary of the household department, said: "The lower officials think that there is no need to discuss this matter at all. ”

This Ye Qi can also be regarded as a famous minister of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and a jinshi in the five years of Jingtai. At the beginning of the imperial history, after which he was released and successively served as the governor of Wuzhi County and Datong. After Hongzhi succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to the head of the household department for nearly two years, and in addition, he also had a prominent identity, that is, the crown prince.

Therefore, the weight of Ye Qi's words is not light here, in addition to the cabinet ministers, he is the third person after Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia, he stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "In the past, a certain place was hit by a disaster, and the court repeatedly discussed it, why?" It is nothing more than a discussion on how to provide disaster relief, and disaster relief requires the imperial court to allocate food and salary, and everyone often argues about this discussion, to put it bluntly, this is because of the lack of treasury. But now it is different, now the treasury is abundant, and there is no situation where the imperial court cannot allocate money. Therefore, the lower officials thought that in the future, when everything encounters a famine, there is no need for the imperial court to talk about this disaster relief, the rescue should be saved, and the silver money should naturally be allocated as much as possible, and it is the right thing to transport the grain to the disaster area first, as for the settlement, you can wait until after the disaster to settle, so as not to delay the disaster relief, although the loss will be larger, but the livelihood of the people is the most important. ”

His words were immediately recognized by many people, and even Liu Jian couldn't help but say: "Yes, this is a good way to benefit the country and the people." ”

Ye Qi smiled and said, "Liu Gong praises it." ”

The reason why he used to always quarrel about disaster relief was that there was no money in the treasury and no rice for clever women, so everyone discussed whether and how to save it. But now the time is different, now the court has money, with money, naturally there is no question of how to save it, but in the future, whenever there is a disaster, directly transfer money and food to the fastest speed to help, when the time comes, whether the money and food are allocated too much, or other problems, can be dealt with after the disaster eases. This does not delay the disaster relief, but it is also expensive.

Liu Jian said: "Since this is the case, then the household department will first do it according to this charter, and directly allocate money and grain, but then again, the transfer is transferred, but the settlement of accounts after the autumn is still necessary, otherwise the local officials are insatiable, which will only encourage them to erode the treasury. ”

Ye Qi nodded: "Yes." ”

Liu Jian coughed, and then said: "The second thing to discuss today is King Ning's business. ”

When he said this, there were coughing sounds in the duty room, and everyone knew that the main event was coming.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly became enthusiastic, he was not interested in the disaster relief, but under the influence of Liu Chengfeng, this Zhu Houzhao was always worried about Ning Wangke, he sat up straight, glanced at Liu Chengfeng, but saw Liu Chengfeng's solemn face, and was puzzled, and wanted to ask Master Liu why he was depressed, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he had to suppress this question in his heart.

"King Ning is rebellious, especially when Jiang Bing's case surfaces, it is even more appalling, the meaning of the palace must be investigated to the end, but the court must make some preparations no matter what, I am afraid that King Ning will jump off the wall in a hurry, so this is what I want to discuss today, it is better to be prepared."

As soon as Liu Jian finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Qi and said, "If you really want to quell the rebellion, is the food and salary on the household side enough?" ”

Ye Qi nodded and said, "Enough is enough." ”

"What does it mean that enough is enough, you have to give an accurate word." Zhu Houzhao said with some dissatisfaction at this time, in his opinion, these ministers squandered it so much when they were in disaster relief, and they said that it was just a little more loss, and it was good not to delay the disaster relief. But when it comes to counterinsurgency, it is vague, and he is still wealthy, and now he is making a stingy appearance.

Liu Jian glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Highness can listen to the government, the major affairs of the military family are not a child's game, and Lord Ye naturally does not dare to talk about it." ”
