The four seasons in Xi'an City are distinct, and when Ah Shang's full moon wine is placed, the weather suddenly becomes cold.

The earth dragon in the house was there when I bought the house, but it was only limited to the backyard, and the front yard was not available.

Since the confinement period, there are always a few hours a day, and Huo Roufeng is in the outer study. Like Zhanhuai, she has a study in the outer courtyard and the back house, and the outer study is used for meeting guests, but when receiving female dependents, most of them are still in the flower hall in the backyard, after all, there are many people in and out of the outer courtyard, and not every female family member is as free and easy as Huo Roufeng herself.

She had just come out of confinement, and her body had not fully recovered, and the earth dragon was burning early in the outer study.

Huo Roufeng stilted her feet, looking at the slander, looking at it, she burst out laughing.

The new emperor ascended the throne and learned from the style of his ancestors, not only amnesty for the world, but also tax exemption for three years, but only three days after the decree was issued, he issued another decree to reduce the taxes of the northern Zhili and the northwest, and pay it elsewhere.

Henan is at war, the North Zhili guards are always ready to send troops, and every winter, the Tartars lack of food, they will always disturb the border to grab grain and rice, even if these two places are not exempt from taxes, they can not be levied, the imperial court is not only ridiculous and generous, but also attracts the government and the opposition abuse.

Huo Roufeng knows about the things in the northwest.

Emperor Minghe's decree on tax reduction and exemption was issued in the morning, and he received an excerpt at noon. Zhan Huai said in the excerpt that every winter the Tartars have to disturb the territory and rob the money and grain, and the northwest must be strictly guarded, so he asks the imperial court for military salaries and rations, otherwise the Tartars will attack on a large scale, and the northwest will not be able to send troops.

Emperor Ming He vaguely remembered that the first emperor had written off the military salary owed to him before because of Zhanhuai's private recruitment, which was no longer owed, why did Zhanhuai still come to ask for an account, is it bullying the new monarch and doesn't know the cause and effect?

Emperor Ming He was furious, and immediately asked the military department to find the document that Zhanhuai had personally sealed, and wanted to fall on Zhanhuai's face to see if he still recognized it.

However, when I looked at the document, it was written in black and white that it was written off the military salary before the year before last, and now Zhan Huai is asking for last year and this year.

Moreover, before the year before last, the imperial court did not pay military salaries to the northwest, nor did it not give grain, grass and other armaments, but it was not enough, and since that cut, the imperial court has really not given a tael of silver, a grain of rice, or a cotton coat to the northwest.

Emperor Ming He threw the document hard, but it didn't fall on Zhanhuai's face, but on the face of Cui Shilun, the secretary of the military department.

Cui Shilun was wronged, he was transferred to the Ministry of War after the death of the first emperor, what does the previous incident have to do with him.

So the military department had no choice but to investigate, and this investigation found that in the past two years, Zhanhuai has not been able to ask for money and food.

Without a fold, of course, the military department pretended to be confused.

Of course, even if Zhanhuai can't fold it, what should be given to the northwest must be given, but the treasury is empty, of course, if you can't give it, you won't give it.

In this way, what the court owes Zhan Huai is converted into silver, which is actually more than the previous offset.

At this time, the Henan war report came, Zhang Baochen's army was defeated by the imperial army, and the two guards were lost.

Beizhili has been waiting for a long time, ready to increase troops to Henan at any time, but to fight, no grain and grass is not possible, because of the war, in the past six months, several Dawei have been recruiting troops, the weather is getting colder and colder, the army's cotton clothes and quilts have not all been in place, and half of the recruits are wearing single clothes.

Emperor Minghe only felt dizzy, and he realized that the court he had worked so hard to take over from the first emperor was just an empty shell, asking for money without money, asking for no people, and even fighting had to look at the faces of the generals.

In desperation, he had no choice but to withdraw the holy decree he had just promulgated, and in order to save a little face, he had to reduce taxes to the northwest and northern Zhili.

However, as soon as this holy decree was issued, the household servant was on the fold, and it turned out that the northwest had stopped paying taxes five years ago, because Zhan Huai directly asked people to take all the taxes paid from various places from the yamen of the state capitals to support his army.

Although there is no way to test whether the first emperor knew about this matter, the dead queen mother must know, and the cabinet elders know it, that is, everyone who should know knows it, only Emperor Minghe himself does not know.

Emperor Minghe was trembling with anger, he couldn't take back this holy decree anymore, and then ordered Zhanhuai to spit out all the taxes that had been embezzled in the past five years.

Even though you have taken so much tax, but you still want to force the emperor to offset your guilt with the military salary owed to you, is there anything more immoral than you?

And now you have to ask me for money, and what about the taxes you robbed? That's my money.

The cabinet is waiting for Emperor Ming He to give an order, but no one has come up with an idea, a Zhang Baochen has already stretched the court to the limit, in case this time annoys Zhanhuai again, then no one will have a good time next.

But there are always people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and at this time, someone reminded Emperor Minghe that the second brother of Zhanhuai burned to death when he repaired the Houling Mausoleum a while ago, and Zhanhuai may be angry.

Emperor Ming He's idea of looking for Zhanhuai to settle accounts was dispelled, and he just asked the Ministry of War to persuade Zhanhuai, and the matter of military pay could be delayed for as long as possible.

Fortunately, Zhanhuai is still relatively easy to speak, since he led the army at the age of sixteen, the court has been in arrears every year, and he has long had lice and has not been bitten unconsciously, besides, this is also what he expected.

Seeing that Zhanhuai did not continue to fold, Emperor Ming He breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, another excerpt was handed over, and the bullet was handed over to Zhanchen, the prince of Fujian, who had obviously withdrawn from the army, but was still stationed in Jiangsu.

Emperor Ming and Emperor intuitively felt that the person who was the excerpt was doing it against him, otherwise why would he want to show his family at this time.

He asked Zhan Chen about the troops stationed in Jiangsu, and it turned out that Zhan Chen only had 10,000 people left in Jiangsu, and it was said that it was to prevent King Qing from shooting back to Jiangsu, and then killing back to Jiangsu, so he left 10,000 people just in case.

Emperor Ming He immediately scolded the person who was on the fold, at this critical juncture, didn't this add chaos to me?

Huo Roufeng sat in the outer study, read the plagiarism, and then read the battle report, laughing and trembling.

At this time, someone came in and told her that Mr. Jiang Da had arrived.

Huo Roufeng hurriedly asked Jiang Boru to come in.

Since Jiang Boru returned to Shaanxi, he rarely came to her house, and it has always been Huo Roufeng who went to Sishitang to talk to Mr. Jiang Da, and this time he came here on purpose, there must be something important.

Sure enough, Jiang Boru didn't say anything, just handed a piece of paper to Huo Roufeng, and Huo Roufeng saw that there were three dates on it, and these three dates were next year.

She immediately understood what this was, and asked in a deep voice, "It's all good fortune?" ”
