(Celebrate, the National Day has finally passed, and I can post this chapter again, without this chapter to say, I can't plagiarize the plot of sand sculpture netizens, and I panic!) ）

Half a month ago, the capital, the cabinet.

A chaotic voice remembered, Fang Congzhe frowned, and his mood became irritable for no reason, over the years, the emperor has become more and more distracted, of course, this is a good thing, the emperor's power to go to the cabinet will be greater, but the special problem is that the cabinet has left Fang Congzhe's own brother in the past two years.

It seems that no one is fighting for power and profit, but specially, things are not how to calculate, it turns out that there are seven or nine people in the cabinet, and none of them have their own networks, taken together, the power of the cabinet is of course big enough, and now it's good, just his brother, the cabinet is nothing, and the power of the court is largely back in the six ministries, and every time he encounters the most troublesome things, he needs to come out and take the blame.

However, he is considered a 'non-party person', he is a serious Zhejiang, but he is not a member of the Donglin Party, but he is closer to the Qi Party, or in other words, he has a lot of relationship with the three parties of Qi Chu and Donglin, which is also the reason why Wanli put him in the cabinet as the first assistant, that is, he can regulate the relationship between the three parties, and the three parties are fighting, which is really a bit too much.

Some messy thoughts flashed in his mind, and he saw a person walking in in the dust, looking at the clothes on his body, he knew that it was six hundred miles in an emergency, Fang Congzhe couldn't help but rub his temples, Damn, it's trouble again.

As a result, the bamboo tube containing the urgent letter, opened the fire paint, took out the letter paper and read it hastily, and then he closed his eyes fiercely, and let out a long breath, the Annan people committed the border, Guangdong and Guangxi, a large area of land was occupied, and the total loss of nine counties was lost.

After sending the message and going down to rest, Fang Congzhe rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, sighed, and shouted to the people serving outside the door, "Go and ask for the book of the household department, the book of the military department, come and be conscious." ”

The national policy of the Ming Dynasty is relatively rigid, and losing the land is a big crime.

But in addition to the military department sending people, the more important thing in the war is money, no money, a chicken feather!

Looking at the clock on the wall, this thing is fresh, some of it is not long, and what can be bought is either rich or expensive, and about an hour later, the military department and the household department came together.

As soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew in, and the two of them arched their hands towards Fang Congzhe, "I've seen Lord Shoufu Fang." ”

"You're welcome, just do it." Fang Congzhe greeted and took the two of them to sit down, and then sent the six hundred miles over urgently to the two of them, and Li Ruhua, the head of the household, quickly read it, frowned deeply, licked his lips, and handed the letter to Li Shantang again.

Li Shantang didn't need to look at it to know what was going on, the last time Wang Xuan came to the capital, he roughly mentioned to him that he would launch the Battle of Annam, and by the way, he would get Guangdong and Guangxi.

Makeup pretended to look at it again, and then slapped it on the table, "Bold fanatics, widows and small people, dare to invade my China repeatedly, it is really hateful, for such people, must not be spared, if you don't beat them back, I am afraid that the southeast is unstable, and other countries and ethnic groups will also think that I am weak, if it causes a chain reaction, it will be very bad." ”

He is above the court, is known for his hot temper, bold and outspoken, which is very different from the performance in Fujian, according to his nature, he should be very reluctant, but after his analysis, the position of the secretary of the military department is not liked by the four major parties, but he does not want to go up to a gloomy mind, good at forbearance, so he changed his past style and did not show too much scheming.

This harm, he has to try his best to say it, anyway, he will win in the end, the bigger the matter, the greater the credit, and it is better to talk to the court for benefits.

Fang Congzhe hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling Li Shantang to be calm and not impatient, and then said after a little silence: "What Master Li said is also right, prevention is better than prevention, but ......" His gaze turned to Li Ruhua to look.

"No money!" Li Ruhua stretched out his hand very simply and suffocated Fang Congzhe back, of course, this is true, but, basically, no matter who looks for him, he never says that he has no money in the first sentence.

"If you don't have money, if you don't have money, you won't fight, and you will watch the small country of Annan occupy our country?" Li Shantang was 'furious' when he heard this.

"I didn't say it, I just said that the household department has no money!" Li Ruhua hurriedly denied it, he didn't dare to say this,

"You ......"

"That's it!" Fang Congzhe interrupted Li Shantang's words with an ugly face, "There's no need to argue, just notify the two of you, go back and think about it, and the court will discuss it tomorrow." ”

When he came out, Li Shantang took two steps back and waited for Li Ruhua, and said directly: "Master Li, I don't mean anything else, don't be angry, but this battle must still be fought!" I can't see these widows and small people running rampant. ”

Li Ruhua immediately smiled, "How can I be angry, of course I know that adults are dedicated to the public, but the household department is ......" Saying this, he shook his head, "There is really no money, we also know how much Master Li earns every year in the Ming Dynasty, hey, I am also aggrieved when I am the secretary of the household department." ”

"This ...... Well, I understand, then tomorrow will talk about it. After a few more pleasantries, the two said goodbye.

Looking at Li Shantang's departing back, Li Ruhua's brows furrowed slightly, is this Li Shantang's temper really so straightforward? Now, no one can be sure.

On the same day, the news of Annam's invasion spread, and the next day, at the court meeting, there was a quarrel over the dispatch of troops.

It costs money to send troops, where does this money come from? The household insisted that there was no money, what did he like, and then he wanted to ask, so he proposed to raise taxes, not to mention whether the tax increase could take shape, which required the emperor's approval, or rather, the emperor needed to take the blame, the key is that far water can not quench the thirst.

Now it's burning eyebrows, and I can't afford to wait.

On the other hand, the person who led the troops to counter the rebellion must also be decided, the four major parties, the recommended are all others, leading the troops to fight, it is good if they win, in case of defeat, the responsibility is huge, and they want to go on an expedition to Annam, this is simply a peerless pit, and they all want to push the other party's people to their deaths.

In the end, it was Li Shantang who went crazy, and the matter was settled, all because of the biggest advantage, that is, no money!

There is no need for the imperial court to pay, but the personnel must have support, he recommended Qi Hongliang to lead the post of governor of Liangguang, in charge of military and political affairs, mobilize local forces, and contribute money and efforts to quell the rebellion.

In addition, he recommended several officials from the court and the central government to be transferred together to assist Qi Hongliang.

These officials are all nobodies, and everyone has never stopped listening to them, so naturally they don't care, so they all agree.

Immediately, a holy decree was sent out on the same day, accompanied by Hong Chengchou, Yuan Chonghuan, Prince Zhongyun Sun Chengzong, and in addition, Cao Wenzhao was transferred from the Guanning army.

In fact, there is another person, Sun Chuanting, but now he is a county magistrate in Yongcheng, and he can't be transferred for a while.

Hong Chengchou and the others learned the news yesterday, but Sun Chengzong was stunned when he received the news, I, the crown prince Zhongyun, was transferred to Guangdong and participated in the counterinsurgency!?

I don't seem to know Li Shantang, not to mention Qi Hongliang, who doesn't know anything about the southwest, what did he do in the past?

I won't offend anyone again, these guys are going to hurt me again!

But...... It's not a bad thing to be able to stay away from the whirlpool of the court for a while, and the four major parties have been fighting more and more fiercely recently, and he has a feeling that he will be implicated sooner or later.

Over the years, he has been hidden in the prince's mansion, although he is not welcomed, but there is also an advantage, that is, he is rarely implicated in the battle between the DPRK and China, and spent 13 years safely.

Over the years, many people with lofty ideals, because they were too deeply implicated, the last of their talents were used in internal fighting, resulting in the ruins of the government, and he really didn't want to fall into such a situation.

However, as Emperor Wanli's health is not as good as day by day, in the past two years, Sun Chengzong has felt the pressure, and officials of various factions began to win him over intentionally or unintentionally, two years ago, he was almost expelled from the capital for a small matter in Tianxiang, and later he was protected by Liu Yixiu, a member of the Donglin Party, and from that day on, he was forced to mark the symbol of the Donglin Party.

The Annan people committed a border, the matter was urgent, and the time left for the three of them to prepare was free for one day, and the next day, they met Li Shantang together in the military department, Hong Chengchou and Yuan Chonghuan were very polite to see Sun Chengzong, after all, they were more than ten years older, and their qualifications were here.

The three of them got acquainted with each other a little, and then embarked on the road to the south together, accompanied by guards, but some of the excellent guards made Sun Chengzong unbelievable, after entering Tianjin, he suddenly had to change to the sea, which made Sun Chengzong, who had a stomach full of doubts, finally couldn't help it, and in just two days, he found too many abnormalities.

Not to mention him, even Yuan Chonghuan doesn't understand much in his heart, among them, only Hong Chengchou understands it most clearly.

Standing on the dock, those guards faintly surrounded Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan in the middle, Sun Chengzong's eyelids jumped, and he looked at Hong Chengchou with a stiff smile.

"Lord Sun, don't mind, this invasion of Annan, the military situation is urgent, if you go by land, you won't be able to get to Guangdong for two months, and the journey is too much, compared to it, Brother Yuan should have a deep understanding."

Yuan Chonghuan nodded, his home is in that 'beautiful' place in Dongguan, and when he enters Beijing to take the exam once, it is like a special Long March, every time he can make it to the capital alive, he feels a kind of luck.

"It's much more convenient to take a boat, after going to sea, naturally change to a big ship, and you can reach Guangdong in a month, and it's convenient to eat and drink along the way, saving time and effort, so I choose the sea route."

"As for this Annan invasion, there is a lot involved, to be honest, the younger brother is not very clear, I only know that the danger is not great, it is a rare experience, and after Annan is calmed down, it will be the time for you and me to soar."

Listen, is this human talk?
