As soon as he sat down, he did not hesitate to propose to let the Donghai Zhenfu army be disarmed, and it was neat, it was the emperor and Mr. Yi, and he was also slightly surprised.

The old lady's expression was still as calm as ever, but what she said was a sharp knife, straight into the abdomen of the Han people.

A hint of brilliance crossed the emperor's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Taishi...... Why is this happening? ”

"Back to the saint, now that Wei and Qing are fighting each other, no matter who my Dayan joins forces, they need to send a large number of materials to the border pass, whether it is offensive or defensive, money, food and equipment are indispensable." The old lady said: "The Yichun disaster, if the tax is collected according to previous years, the people of Yichun will even have a problem with food and clothing, what will they pay?" It's urgent, and there will even be a civil uprising... Therefore, not only did Yichun's tax revenue this year not be expected, but the imperial court even had to pull out a large amount of silver from the household department to appease it. The household department was already very nervous, and Han Xuandao Han also cried poor in the cabinet several times, and it was extremely difficult for the yamen to transfer money from the household department if they wanted to do things...... In this case, the only way to do this is to cut unnecessary expenses to support the Northwest Army at the border pass."

The emperor stared at Taishi Xiao and bowed slightly.

For the Northwest Army, the emperor has always attached great importance to it, in any case, it is the border pass hero, and it is the foundation of the peace of the Yan country, without the border pass 100,000 children, the Yan country will not have the stability it has today from top to bottom.

Therefore, the supply of materials to the Northwest Army, the Yan Imperial Court has never dared to be sloppy.

"If you want to cut large sums of money, the best way is naturally to disarm and save military spending. . . ." Xiao Taishi said solemnly: "Lao Chen thinks about it, the Northwest Army, the Imperial Forest Army and the defenders of the counties and towns cannot move, but the Donghai Zhenfu Army can be disarmed and reduce military expenditures." He coughed for a while before continuing: "Holy Lord, the East China Sea Zhenfu Army was to deal with the bandits in the East China Sea back then, and also to prevent the Qingguo Navy Division from setting foot in the waters of our Dayan, so the huge East China Sea Division was formed...... It's just that as far as the minister knows, the pirates in the East China Sea are now all recruited by Han Mo to carry out commercial and trade operations on the sea...... The bandits on the sea, eighty percent out of ten, and the remaining twenty percent, that is not at all dare to intrude on the waters of the East China Sea of Dayan, so if you continue to retain a huge sailor to eat military salaries, there is no longer any need. Retaining such a large naval division will not only pay for the army, but also cost a huge amount of financial resources every year for equipment and supplies and the refurbishment of the warships, and once the naval division is abolished, then a large sum of silver will be saved every year......"

The emperor pondered for a moment before he said, "What about the Qingguo Sailor?" Didn't the Donghai Zhenfu Army still have to guard against the Qingguo Naval Division? ”

"The sailor of the Qingguo people has been abandoned for many years. . . ." Xiao Taishi said with a smile: "The Qingguo Imperial Court has long owed the Qingguo Navy Commander's salary, and at the peak of that year, Qingguo also had tens of thousands of sailors, and there were nearly 100 large and small warships, but without military salaries, the navy is now only more than 2,000 people, and most of the warships are rotten in the harbor and no one cares...... Lao Chen vouched for the head of the man, the Qingguo Navy Division has no threat to my Dayan, and my Donghai Zhenfu Army retains a strength of 3,000 people, which is enough to deal with all accidents in the East China Sea."

The emperor bowed slightly, thoughtful.

"In addition, the old minister also asked the Holy Upper and Lower Decree that the Han family's maritime trade must be taken out of it and handed over to the treasury. . . ." Xiao Taishi said in a deep voice: "The East China Sea belongs to my Great Yan Kingdom, but it is not his Han family, the sea trade is very profitable, what do they Han family want so much silver for?" ”

The emperor and Yi Kongting glanced at each other again, and a light crossed their eyes.

They understand that Taishi Xiao is really going to do something against the Han family this time, and all along, the Xiao family has not launched an offensive against the Han family, it is nothing more than to win over the Han family to fight the Su family together, but now the Han family is becoming more and more powerful, and it is because of the negotiation and the Xiao family sang a confrontation with the stage, to put it bluntly, it is already a formal declaration of war against the Xiao family.

Taishi Xiao obviously saw that under the current situation, it was very unrealistic to win over the Han family to deal with the Su family, and since this was the case, he naturally couldn't continue to sit still.

Xiao Taishi, who has been in the political arena for many years, understands a truth very well, since he wants to fight, he must not be soft, he must be steady and ruthless, he must make a decision on the spot, and he must kill the killer...

It takes three inches to fight a snake

The three inches of the Han family are actually on the other side of the East China Sea, and to put it more clearly, the real foundation of the Han family is the powerful East China Sea Master.

So he saw this and didn't hesitate to strike a blow.

This move is a rather ruthless and poisonous move.

And Taishi Xiao also knew very well in his heart that although the emperor wanted to use the Han family to balance, he didn't really want to see the Han family sit big, if there was an opportunity to dig up the foundation of the Han family, the emperor would be very happy to see it.

Even the Fan family and the Hu family, although they are allies of the Han family, Xiao Taishi faintly feels in his heart that they may not want the Han family to become really strong in their bones.

Just like the alliance between the Xiao family and the He family, the Xiao family is always guarding against the He family making ghosts behind them, and the He family is also hiding from the Xiao family and making big moves in secret...

Taishi Xiao really didn't believe that there really was an alliance as strong as iron in this world.

……

"What the master played, I am clear." The emperor pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "However, the Donghai Zhenfu Army has been organized like this since the beginning of the dynasty, and if it is rashly abolished, I am afraid that the soldiers will complain." In this way, the Taishi will first discuss this bill with the cabinet, come up with a feasible plan, and then report it to me."

Taishi Xiao got up and said, "The old minister obeys the order"

He already sneered in his heart, the proposal for disarmament was ordered to be brought to the cabinet for discussion, that is, it belonged to the agenda, although it may not be so easy to get rid of the old bottom of the Han family, but it is definitely a great opportunity...

No matter what the time will be, but compared to other cabinet members, the cabinet chief assistant has two votes, which is incomparable to other cabinet members.

"Holy Lord, the old minister still has something to do"

"Master, please speak"

"Mr. Wei wants to meet the Holy ...... I don't know what the Divine Will is? ”

The emperor frowned slightly, and then said, "Does the master think I want to see it?" ”

"The old minister doesn't dare" Master Xiao hurriedly said: "It's all according to the holy will"

The emperor said slowly: "I have indeed been unwell in the past two days...... Wait for my will."

The Taishi bowed down and said: "The old minister obeys the order"

After Taishi Xiao retreated, a sneer appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth: "Han Xuandao is only afraid that he is about to come to see me, right?" These two of them can't stand it, and they have to wait for me to come up with an idea... ”

"Holy ...... Do you want to see Wei Envoy? ”

"Then it depends on when Han Xuandao will come to see me." The emperor said calmly: "If I want to meet, I naturally want to meet the envoys of the two countries...... Han Xuandao has not arrived, I have to wait like this"

Manager Yi nodded slightly, and said, "Holy Lord, the Taishi's knife cut was very sudden...... Dismantling the Donghai Zhenfu Army, if the Han family knows, they don't know what the scene will be."

"This matter must not be divulged." The emperor said solemnly: "Before the cabinet discusses this matter, don't let the Han family know that the Taishi is going to take action against the Donghai Zhenfu army...... If the Han family had taken precautions, things would not be easy to handle. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Yi's mouth, and he said, "The old slave understands...... The Han family's huge East China Sea Master should indeed be pressed......"

At this moment, the little eunuch came in again and said, "Lord Han asks to see"

The emperor and Mr. Yi looked at each other and smiled, and ordered Han Xuandao to enter the hall...

As the emperor expected, Han Xuandao also implored His Majesty the Emperor to summon the envoys of Qingguo, and the emperor naturally deliberately hesitated, and then asked Han Xuandao to step back for the time being, waiting for the will.

Not long after Han Xuandao retreated, the emperor was about to get up and leave the hall, and the little eunuch entered the hall for the third time and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, Lord Han asks to see you"

The emperor frowned, he made it very clear with Han Xuandao just now, what are you going to do these three times and two times and return?

The little eunuch obviously noticed that his words were not clear, and hurriedly explained: "Holy Lord, yes...... It's Lord Han asking to see you."

"Lord Han?"

"The director of the West Flower Hall, Lord Xiao Han, asks to see"

The emperor was stunned at first, and finally understood that this "little Han Lord" was Han Mo, the emperor knew that Han Mo had gone to the Wind Country, but he didn't expect that he had quietly returned to Yanjing City, and immediately said: "Announce him in."

……

Han Mo quickly entered the Qianxin Palace, knelt down in front of the desk, and said respectfully: "The junior minister is see the saint."

"Let's be flat" The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Han Mo to get up, and when Han Mo got up, he saw that Han Mo was not wearing an official uniform, but he was dressed in a light blue brocade robe, which was neat and clean, but his face was full of tiredness, and the whole person looked dusty...

"When did you come back?"

Han Mo immediately replied: "Back to the saint, after the minister entered Beijing, he went directly to the palace to meet the saint, only cleaned up a little outside the city, and didn't have time to change into the official uniform, and asked the saint to surrender."

When the emperor heard this, he immediately smiled, and Han Mo came directly to face the saint after entering Beijing, which made the emperor very satisfied in his heart, and said with a smile: "I don't blame you for being in a hurry." Is there anything to be gained from a trip to the Windy Country? ”

Han Mo said respectfully: "Qi Shengshang, the civil strife in the Eight Great Villages of the Wind Country is because Yuquan Zhai Tuohu Feng wants to monopolize the position of the chief and kill the local officials, which causes turmoil."

The emperor bowed his head slightly and said: "It's almost the same as what I thought, turn around and plan to fold up, and draw up the affairs of the Wind Country in detail on the fold." Then Wen Yan said: "Just after your wedding, you worked hard to find out information for me to go to the Wind Country. Now that I'm back, I'll accompany my wife well."

"Yes"

The emperor thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Han Mo, you should know about this peace talk with the foreign envoy?"

"The Ministers Have Heard of It"

"Which country do you think it is more beneficial for my Great Yan to form an alliance with?"

"Back to the saint, this is an important matter of the country, and the ministers dare not say anything." Han Mo said respectfully: "And the minister's knowledge is shallow, and it is difficult to understand the benefits and disadvantages...... The minister only knows what the will of the saint comes down, and there is nothing wrong with the minister acting according to the will."

The emperor smiled and said, "You kid, your mouth is very sharp now. Let's step back and go home to spend time with my wife...... I will summon you to the palace again."

Han Mo saluted respectfully again and slowly retreated.

After a hard journey all the way, he hurried back to the capital, he was really tired, and what he wanted to do most now was to take a hot bath, change into soft clothes, and then sleep beautifully with his little daughter-in-law in his arms.
