Chapter 137: The Emperor's Migraine (17)
"Since everyone Aiqing is so hearted, I should also set an example." The clerks who were already old fritters heard Cen Zijin's words, and a bad premonition appeared in their hearts.
Sure enough, immediately after, I heard him say: "There is still grain from previous years in the treasury, and there are also some antiques, calligraphy and paintings in my private treasury, and I am willing to donate all of them for the use of our army." ”
"The treasury is not full, and this is the limit of what I can take. Now it's time to contribute to the country, and presumably you Aiqing will not hide your secrets. ”
After listening to his words, the faces of the officials below turned green.
But the emperor has already set an example, and the emperor has said that the treasury is not full, and he still takes out everything, what do they say?
In the end, they can only say that they will do their best.
That being said, no one really wants to donate their treasures, and one by one they think in their hearts about what they should come up with, calculate and calculate, and in the end, they feel distressed about everything.
This is not the end, Cen Zijin, who has already experienced a lifetime, is very aware of the current situation of the imperial court.
I'm afraid these people won't be able to get anything out of the way.
So he then said: "Relying on the power of the ministers alone may be just a drop in the bucket, so I will advertise the world, if there are businessmen who are willing to dedicate themselves to the country, those who are capable, can serve in the imperial court according to the situation." ”
The problem of food is solved, and the next thing is who should be the best soldiers.
He had already thought about this question.
According to the knowledge that has been supplemented after rebirth, Jiang Nian, the current deputy general in the army, is a rare talent.
Moreover, this person is an upright person, and he hates gangs and factions the most.
The only thing that made him hesitate was that this person didn't care who the reigning emperor was, he only cared if this emperor was a Ming monarch. Can it bring a better life to the people?
If it is Mingjun, he will always be sincere, and he does not have to worry about betrayal.
But if one day he is no longer the Ming Jun in his mind, he may also become a sword in the hands of others.
To put it bluntly, it's like a gamble, there are only two endings, victory and defeat, it just depends on whether you dare to bet.
And his choice was, betting.
In the end, Jiang Nian led 50,000 soldiers to the border to repel the barbarians.
When Rong Qi learned that it was Jiang Nian who led the troops, he knew that Cen Zijin didn't believe Song Yanbo.
Rong Qi realized this, and of course Song Yanbo, who was in the next dynasty, also realized that the emperor didn't trust him.
The adjutant general who helped him up was the general of the Zhengyi Hussars, who was on a par with his official position, and this was to borrow him to divide the power in his hands.
This is the balancing act of the emperor.
The tiger talisman was held in his hand, and it seemed that the emperor was already jealous of him.
Instead of waiting for the emperor to slowly withdraw the rights in his hands, it is better for him to take the initiative to hand it over.
Song Yanbo, who had figured it out, had just arrived home, and not long after, he put on his court clothes again, took the tiger talisman and went to the palace.
When the eunuch informed Song Yanbo that he was coming, he had just begun to practice calligraphy.
Hearing this, he put down the brush in his hand and said, "Please come in, general." ”
Rong Qi wanted to find an excuse to leave, but Cen Zijin seemed to realize her thoughts, and took the lead in saying: "The teacher is here, there is no need to avoid it." ”
Song Yanbo came in and saw Rong Qi standing behind Cen Zijin at a glance.
The two glanced at each other and quickly separated.
Then he saluted: "The last general will see the emperor." ”
Cen Zijin waved his hand to calm him down, and then asked, "It's just the early dynasty, why is General Song so anxious?" ”
He knelt down, raised the tiger talisman in his hand, and said, "Please take back the tiger talisman." ”
