Seeing Yang Sichang and Hou Sui arguing in front of the hall, Chongzhen reached out and pressed his temple, only to feel a burst of irritability in his heart.

And Wen Tiren, who was sitting on his left, had a slightly unsightly face, he had just proposed to cure Yue Yang's crime, but few people responded, but they quarreled over whether to collect taxes, which clearly did not take him as an auxiliary minister in his eyes.

Yang Sichang said loudly: "Lord Hou." Wuli Zhai is good, the old man thinks that Wuli Zhai and Yue Garrison should be vigorously commended for their merits, and can follow the example of Emperor Taizu Gao when he rewarded Kang Maocai, and take Wuli Zhai as an example in the world. Not only should they not be able to levy grain taxes, but they should be encouraged to reclaim more wasteland and calm the hearts of the displaced people. ”

"Lord Yang's words are wrong, I think you know it. At present, the household department is in financial difficulties, and the grain harvest in various localities has failed, but the household department has no grain to allocate. Now Wulizhai has a bumper harvest and gets millions of tons of grain, and the old man doesn't want the Wulizhai to hand over all the million loads of grain. Allocate 50,000 or 60,000 quintals to escort into Beijing to solve the urgent needs of the imperial court, why not? As for Emperor Taizu, Taizu ordered the exemption of grain tax for three years, which was to sympathize with the suffering of the people and encourage the people to open up more wasteland. But now, is Yueyang still lacking that bit of food? The so-called special affairs, now that the court is about to uncover the pot, we are still clinging to the legacy of our ancestors, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? Hou Sui also retorted eloquently.

"That's it!"

Wen Tiren on the side spoke again, and he coughed heavily when he had always felt that he didn't have a sense of zài, and then said, "Lord Yang, Lord Hou." The old man just said that Yue Yang married the daughter of the enemy chief without authorization. Even if the court does not punish him, he cannot be praised, otherwise in the future, the Manchu Dynasty will learn from each other, and everyone will be like this. But what about you, but you are still arguing over the requisition of grain, what kind of system is this? ”

To add an additional note, this bit of face still has to be given. Yang Sichang and Hou Sui stopped arguing at this time, but the two did not agree so much with Wen Tiren's words.

Yang Sichang frowned and said, "Is this too much for Elder Wen Ge?" It's just that he married a Fanbang woman, so why can't he be praised. Could it be that the woman can still turn the sky upside down? ”

It stands to reason that Wen Tiren is a cabinet assistant, and his words Yang Sichang should always give face, but Wen Tiren's reputation in the court is really too bad, and he has made no achievements in court politics except for excluding dissidents, and it can be said that he is a standard model of standing on the toilet and not. Many ministers despise it, and Yang Sichang is no exception.

Hou Sui also echoed: "Lord Yang's words are quite reasonable, but he just married a woman from Fanbang, is it possible to abandon such a promising court official for this reason?" ”

Seeing that the two people who were arguing with each other just now actually pointed their guns at him in unison, Wen Tiren's face darkened suddenly, and he felt that his dignity as a supplement was being provoked, and he was about to reprimand the two. Chongzhen, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke:

"Alright. Stop arguing. Lu Aiqing, what do you think about this? ”

As soon as Chongzhen's words fell, everyone's eyes turned to the middle-aged official who had never spoken. The official's name is Lu Xiangsheng.

When Lu Xiangsheng was a teenager, he loved to read military books and liked to learn cavalry and archery. In the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), he was a jinshi, and later served as the prefect of the daimyo. In the second year of Chongzhen (1629). Later, the Jin army entered the customs and forced the Beijing Division (now Beijing). He recruited 10,000 troops to defend it. In the following year, he entered the right to participate in politics, and was ordered to rectify the military garrison of the three prefectures of Daimyo (now Hebei), Guangping (now Yongnian, Hebei), and Shunde (now Xingtai, Hebei), and the department was called the "Tianxiong Army".

Because Lu Xiangsheng trained his troops well, he was able to enter Chongzhen's eyes, and since the beginning of this year, due to the ravages of thieves, Chongzhen urgently recruited Lu Xiangsheng to enter the court to discuss the matter of leveling the thieves.

Hearing Chongzhen's inquiry, Lu Xiangsheng said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks." Yue Yang is indeed a talented person, and it is difficult to appease people's hearts if the court does not praise him, but it can also be seen from what this person has done that this person has always acted as he pleases, and he has no regard for secular laws at all. Therefore, if the imperial court needs to be cautious in its attitude towards this person, it must not be too extreme, otherwise it will not be good to arouse resentment. ”

"Ridiculous, nonsense!" Wen Tiren shouted loudly: "Thinking that Yueyang is just a district garrison, what qualifications does he have to resent the imperial court?" How can you exaggerate and mislead the emperor! ”

Wen Tiren is a day of assistance, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, this anger is really terrifying, even the Jinyi Guard Commander 6 who is standing on the side is secretly frightened.

But what kind of person is Lu Xiangsheng, although he is only a three-government soldier now, but his courage is not inferior to anyone in the slightest. I saw him look directly at Wen Tiren and said: "Wen Ge is old and strict, the lower officials are just telling the truth, how can they exaggerate." ”

"How dare you quibble......"

Wen Tiren stood up and continued to reprimand, but Chongzhen, who was lively on the side, saw Chongzhen glaring at Wen Tiren and shouted: "Wen Aiqing, enough." I see that Lu Aiqing has a lot of sense, so don't be harsh on him! ”

"Wechen is harsh on him?" When Wen Tiren heard this comment, he was so angry that he almost fainted, but fortunately, his qi cultivation skills were not bad, and he didn't fall down.

In the end, Chongzhen said: "Okay, at this time, Rong Zhen will discuss it after thinking about it." Tomorrow, all the ministers will write an excerpt and come up to me to take a look, Lu Aiqing will stay, and the rest of the people will retreat! ”

In the envious eyes of everyone, Lu Xiangsheng stayed.

Looking at Lu Xiangsheng, who was majestic in front of him, Chongzhen smiled and said to Wang Chengen, who was waiting on the side: "Big companion, give Lu Aiqing a seat." ”

"Long live thanks!"

After Lu Xiangsheng sat down, Chongzhen said with a straight face: "Lu Aiqing, the land of the Three Jin Dynasty rejects the Tartars in the north, and there are thieves in the east, but its geographical location is very important, and there is really no room for error, so I want to transfer Aiqing to Shanxi to serve as the governor of Xuanda, what does Aiqing think?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng was only a fourth-grade three-rank garrison at this time, and the governor of Xuanda was a second-grade high-ranking official, which was a fourth-grade promotion.

I saw Lu Xiangsheng stand up, knelt down in front of Chongzhen and wept: "Minister...... Lu Xiangsheng thanked God for his grace and dared not to repay him with death. ”

"Get up!" Chongzhen motioned to the eunuch on the side to help Lu Xiangsheng up, and said gently; "Lu Aiqing, now that the state affairs are difficult, I put the state affairs first. After Lu Aiqing arrives in Shanxi, he must train an elite army for me, and I will be of great use at that time. ”

"Obey the order!"

"And ......" Speaking of this, Chongzhen pondered for a while before saying: "After Aiqing arrives in Shanxi, you must pay attention to Yueyang and his people, and by the way, I will go to Yingzhou Mansion to see if it is really a businessman Ruyun." I'm really curious, who is Yue Yang......

And according to Chongzhen's curiosity about Yueyang, after several ministers came out of the Nuanxiang Pavilion, the matter of Wuli Village was even more vivid, and the officials of the Beijing Division were also discussing, and everyone was asking who this Yueyang was, and he could run a bitter cold place into a land of fish and rice. And this kind of discussion, also through the Ming Dynasty Di newspaper, quickly spread to the prefectures and counties, for a time, the local prefects, prefects, prefects, political envoys, all over the border towns, have paid attention to this Wuli Village, Yingzhou Mansion garrison Yueyang has also become the center of everyone's topic.

It is worth mentioning that the official system of the capital supports the Hou of the Ministry of Households, and they all think that the court is difficult now, and since Wulizhai has obtained a bumper harvest, then it should be supported by practical actions to support the court.

And some Beijing officials are supporting Yang Sichang, they think that the ancestral system cannot be abolished, Taizu and his old people have said that the newly opened land cannot be requisitioned for three years, so let's listen to the words of the ancestors honestly, why do we have to levy grain? For a while, the two sides quarreled in full swing.

In fact, it is not surprising that these two completely different views appeared, because both sides are speaking for their respective interest classes, and the Jingguan system represents the various landlord classes and merchant classes, in their opinion, Yueyang is a member of the landlord class like them, and now if the imperial court collects grain from Yueyang, once this example is opened, then no one dares to guarantee that it will not receive it in the future.

And those speech officials are different, these speech officials are generally from a hard background, and the shadow of the interest group behind them is obviously relatively weak, so they naturally think that it is natural to share the worries of the court. And Shanxi Governor Xu Dingchen and Wei Tonghe were not to be outdone, and gave the court a twist and turn, asking for credit for Yueyang.

After arguing for more than half a month, Chongzhen finally expressed his position, asking Wulizhai to pay 60,000 quintals of grain this year, or 58,000 taels of silver, and issued a holy decree.

This decree reads: "Since I have been in the end, I have been conscientious and conscientious, and I have not lost time to eat." The husband wants to be surnamed Kang Zhao, and he is an advanced talent. Today, there is a state government to garrison Yueyang, to store grain for the country, so that the soldiers can be self-sufficient, which can be of great use. Specially promoted Yueyang to the guerrilla of the North Road of Shanxi, awarded General Mingwei, his wife Hai Lanzhu, awarded the six-grade edict, and gave 300 taels of silver, 20 horses of silk yarn, hope that he is loyal and brave to the state, do not live up to my hopes, admire this! ””

When this holy decree came to the garrison mansion, the entire Yingzhou City was in a shock. Zheng Kui even led officials and gentry at all levels of the Yingzhou Mansion to congratulate him.

Yue Yang, who was a little caught off guard, was in a hurry for a while before he settled down so many people, and he was busy all day before he beat these people away. The next day, he stuffed a silver ticket to the eunuch who delivered the decree, and then sent him away politely.

In this matter, in fact, it was not Yue Yang who was the happiest, but his subordinates. In their opinion, as Yue Yang rises step by step, their subordinates will naturally rise with the tide, isn't this the pursuit of being an official?

It's just that what they don't know is that when they were happy, Lu Xiangsheng also led a team of cavalry out of the capital and headed towards Shanxi......
