The time for the early pilgrimage is almost up.

At the foot of the steps of the Fengtian Palace, more than 100 civil and military ministers who need to go to court every day have basically arrived, and there are whispers everywhere, and occasionally there is the sound of laughter.

Different from the beginning of the reconstruction of the imperial court, the military generals of the civil and military generals are no longer so distinct, they should speak, they should discuss, and they look very harmonious.

It has been more than a month since Wu Xukuan's death, and in the past month, there have been changes almost every day in Beijing officials above the fourth grade, and today, it has almost been "finalized".

As far as these people are concerned, they will be officials with the DPRK for a long time to come, and no one will deliberately make a bad relationship; although political enemies exist, the relationship between the major giants of the DPRK and China is not bad at present, and they dare not make a mistake below.

The main thing is that the big mountain that pressed on everyone's heads has been gone for a long time, so everyone is relaxed.

That mountain is naturally not the empress.

It's Zhou An, the general manager of Ouchi.

Zhou An's hand is too long, or Dongchang's hand is too long, which makes many returning ministers very uncomfortable, when Kang Longji is alive, although he will also be attacked in the name of eunuchs, but in fact, Kang Longji rarely interferes in some things that have nothing to do with the inner court.

At most, it is to compete with the cabinet, and it is inevitable that it will have the right to approve the red.

But Zhou An is different.

The existence of Dongchang can be said to put the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty in danger, and the secret guards originally had the right to supervise the world, but the commander of the secret guards was only a third-grade official, and he would also be subject to the checks and balances of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department, and the bigwigs in the DPRK and China did not take the secret guards seriously at all.

But now in the East Factory, it's a different matter.

It is directly controlled by the general manager of Zhengyipin, and it is beyond the checks and balances of all yamen, and only the empress can manage the East Factory!

But the right to monitor the world has not changed.

The longer it passes, the more uncomfortable Dongchang becomes, and because Zhou An's power tentacles have spread all over the government and the opposition, this makes the eunuch party really revived.

For example, Yuan Shengshi is considered a member of the eunuch party.

This guy can't move yet, and his status is transcendent!

Fortunately, Yuan Shengshi only kept the East Factory, but he didn't fight back against anyone because of this, his personality is like this, so the impression of the big guys in the DPRK and China is not too bad.

The so-called long-term defense must be lost.

Several old ministers who insisted on wanting to do away with the East Factory firmly believed that Yuan Shengshi would not be able to protect the East Factory for long.

Although the people at the foot of the stairs stand loosely, they can be roughly divided into four groups.

The military generals group headed by the generalissimo of the Zhongzhou Army, the civil official group headed by Jia Linbo, the first assistant of the cabinet, the Yanguan group headed by the Imperial Shitian Wenwei of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the eunuch group headed by Yuan Shengshi.

In general, the group they belong to is not divided according to their status and position.

They are all related to each other, and some even have multiple identities.

For example, now the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate wear a pair of pants, and Jia Linbo is the head of the civil officials, and theoretically the civil officials are all his people, but some don't listen to him.

"Elder Ge, the lower official will hand over the fold today...... If you can support one or two, the lower officials are grateful! Tian Wenwei was talking to Jia Linbo in a low voice.

Jia Linbo glanced at Tian Wenwei and said lightly: "Since you have made up your mind, the old man will no longer persuade you, this matter is ...... It is still up to the Holy Lords to decide. ”

The other side.

Yuan Shengshi was talking to Li Guangshan, but what the two of them were talking about was not the affairs of the court, but martial arts.

It was because he stood close and said a few words of gossip.

Yuan Shengshi is a stuffy gourd, and he doesn't come to the court every day, he only comes when he has nothing to do, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is not good at words.

Li Guangshan would have said, but because he had made too much credit before, and now he held the military power of Zhongzhou, he didn't dare to get too close to anyone, especially Jia Linbo, Yuan Shengshi and others, it was taboo to get closer.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The bell rang.

It quickly quieted down at the foot of the steps, and the civil and military ministers who were standing in a messy position quickly moved and stood on the left and right, all after Li Guangshan and Jia Linbo, and Yuan Shengshi was the second person behind Li Guangshan.

He is stronger than Li Guangshan, and he has great potential, but his current status is still not comparable to Li Guangshan.

Go up the stairs and enter the main hall.

In the main hall, the empress was already sitting on the high platform, and beside her stood Liao Fu, the eunuch of the inner court.

"Go to court!"

"See the Holy One, long live my emperor, long live!"

"Zhongqing is flat."

"If you have something to do, you have no capital to retreat!"

After the customary passage of the previous dynasty, Li Guangshan came out first, bowed down and said: "The old minister has a book to play......

Li Guangshan was talking about military spending.

In the past few days, he has been about to fight with the household department, he knows that the household department has money, and he copied Wu Xukuan's house, and he hasn't spent the money yet, but he just won't give it to him.

In fact, I don't complain about this matter, because Li Guangshan has overspended, and the Zhongzhou Army is expanding its recruitment to prepare for a possible big war, and the household department has already given Li Guangshan nearly six million taels of silver.

Six million taels have not been spent, but the budget is not enough.

On the one hand, it was the cost of building a new military camp, and on the other hand, Li Guangshan wanted to rebuild the Xiao cavalry army, because there were not enough military horses and needed to be purchased, and the price of a good horse would be more than 100 taels of silver.

Li Guangshan wants to buy 30,000 horses!

Hubu and Li Guangshan have been fighting a lawsuit in front of the empress for several days.

Li Guangshan loves soldiers like sons, so everything must be good, which makes it difficult for the empress to support him unconditionally, after all, the imperial court now spends too much on military spending on counterinsurgency in various places.

"Li Shuai, do you dare to ask for money? This officer knows that the matter of expanding the army is very important, but you haven't made it clear about the six million taels of accounts......

Li Guangshan just finished the complaint, and the new head of the household department, Yuan Wenxun, jumped out, this is also a comeback minister, who was an official in the same dynasty as Li Guangshan decades ago, and he is not afraid of him!

The two of them squirted.

In the end, the empress couldn't listen to it anymore, and asked the household department to allocate another three million taels to Li Guangshan, and Yuan Wenxun immediately poured bitter water on the empress, saying that the money was not enough, and Yuezhou was eating money...... In the end, it's good to say, give two million taels!

After this matter was settled, the secretary of the military department came out again, clarified the situation of the rebellion in various places, and discussed the matter of Wu Chonglie's rebellion again.

Wu Chonglie was originally the commander of the Saska State Guard, at the beginning of the rebellion, he controlled the entire territory of Saska, and the empress dispatched soldiers and horses from the surrounding four states to besiege Wu Chonglie, and he is still fighting.

An hour later in the morning dynasty.

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu came out again, and he also sued the empress and asked the Ministry of Household for money...... What I want is money to repair the river, and the situation is much better this year due to floods in the south, but it is difficult to say whether the embankment will burst.

The meaning of the Ministry of Industry is to repair and strengthen to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Yuan Wenxun sprayed the Ministry of Industry Shangshu in the face, saying that he wasted the money and silver of the imperial court, and this year's spring rain was less than half of that of previous years, and the possibility of regenerating floods was not high......

This time, the empress stood on Yuan Wenxun's side.

"But is there anything else?" When the two of them retreated, the empress asked.

If it's okay, Liao Fu will announce as usual that "if there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat from", and then he will retire from the court.

"Holy Lord, old minister, there is a book!" But I saw the fourth after Jia Linbo, an old minister with a goatee walked out.

This person, the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Tian Wenwei!

"What did Aiqing play?" Seeing Tian Wenwei walking with both hands, the empress asked.

"Old minister, I want to impeach the head of Ouchi, Zhou An!" Tian Wenwei said.
