Chapter 172: Scramble

Li Xu was about to come out, his emotions were extremely excited, and he directly admonished Emperor Liang.

"I implore the saint to take back the golden belt! Those who have been awarded the golden belt in this dynasty are all the pillars of the country and the backbone of the world, symbolizing the supreme grace of my beams. How can this Qin Feng just a cloth cloth bear this honor? If it is publicized, it will not only detract from the value of the gold belt, but also smear the merits of the ancestors, which really should not be!"

Li Xu knows very well in his heart that the honor of the gold belt is small, and the privilege is big.

In the future, Qin Feng will have a golden belt, and there will be thousands of yamen in the world, and only one Dali Temple will be able to judge Qin Feng, and it will be even more difficult to deal with Qin Feng in the future, and even to deal with the Qin family.

The officials of the household department tried their best to echo Li Xu, and they all gave advice, asking the saint to take back the holy order.

Even the great Confucian Cheng Yin couldn't stand it anymore, so he said:

"Qin Feng is young, he has no official body, no title, and no merit. It is said that the reputation of Kyoto is also quite ruined, and it is really difficult to deserve such a supreme honor. Otherwise, how should the people of the world view the saints? Have the saints forgotten that the monarchs of the previous dynasties were mediocre and unscrupulous, reused traitorous ministers, and buried the bloody lessons of the great rivers and mountains?

It is the prerogative of Confucianism to give direct advice, looking at the entire court, even if the doctors and ministers would never dare to talk to Emperor Liang like this, but Cheng Yin dared.

In the face of everyone's doubts and exhortations, Emperor Liang always smiled, as if he had expected this kind of result, Yun said lightly:

"Your worries are not unreasonable, and I rewarded Qin Feng with the gold belt, which is naturally also thoughtful. The so-called bad reputation of Qin Feng is just the notoriety of the circle of children in Beijing, if Qin Feng is so corrupt among the people, I will naturally not spare him!

"Qin Feng presented a military strategy diagram to lay the foundation for my Liang to send troops to Beidi, with this merit alone, who can reach Zhong Aiqing? Besides, now that the treasury is empty and the government is in difficulty, Qin Feng has filled the treasury with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in just one month, and who can do it?

"As Cheng Daru said, Qin Feng really has no official body and no title, and he is just a cloth cloth. But Qin Feng's ambition to care about the Great Liang made me quite moved. has the intention to promote, but Qin Feng has never been promoted, nor has he made military exploits, thinking about it, there is only this gold belt. ”

The scene was silent, and no one expected that the saint would say such a thing. Where is this to help Qin Feng explain, it is clearly a grandiose partiality!

The officials dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and the Confucian scholars could only admonish in words, but they could not actually influence the decisions of the sages.

Qin Tianhu was also surprised, but he was more proud, after all, his own cub, to be able to get such a favor from the saint was a great event for the glorious lintel.

The direction of the wind in the court changed dramatically in an instant, and the officials of the military department, who had been dormant and forbearing, also struck while the iron was hot and came out.

It was not that the officials of the Ministry of War saw the wind and steered, but before the last dynasty, Qin Tianhu had already explained that unless the time was right, he would try to avoid arguing with Confucianism.

After all, the positions of officials and Confucian scholars are very different, and the starting points are also very different, and it is difficult to take advantage, and it is possible that Confucian scholars will take the opportunity to smear them out of context, but the gains outweigh the losses.

But this is the best time for them to refute each other.

"The golden belt is the supreme honor, the saints of the past generations are regarded as the most important, the first canonization of the golden belt in this dynasty must be the result of the saint's careful consideration, are you all the lords of the household are questioning the saints?"

"Since Qin Feng is wearing a golden belt, he is qualified to discuss the government and politics, if you Hubu adults blindly interfere, it is really the responsibility of transgression!"

The situation turned one-sided in an instant.

In the face of everyone's accusations, Cheng Yin snorted coldly, and still said stiffly: "Okay, the matter of the golden belt is not concerned for the time being, but sending troops to Beidi will cost as much as tens of millions of silver taels, and the migration of displaced people will only cost millions, how should you choose?"

"This ......"

"What, can't you answer?" Cheng Yin glanced at a group of officials of the military department with disdain, and was about to continue speaking, when suddenly a voice suddenly sounded.

"Naturally!"

At this moment, Qin Feng spoke.

This guy's body, which was originally bowed and hunched down, suddenly stretched straight at this moment, and his head was about to rise to the sky.

There's no way, it's the master's turn to pretend to be forced!

He then stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Cheng Yin.

"Mr. Cheng's starting point was wrong from the beginning, and it was quite wrong! How can the matter of a national war be measured by money? It should be determined by the determination to fight. If you endure and endure Beidi's offenses, the Beidi barbarians will only intensify, from attacking a specific location to threatening the safety of the entire border!

"And the border with the Liang Fanbang, there are as many as seven countries, all of them are pretentious, if you see the Liang is poor and weak, the border Fanbang will follow suit, at that time, the entire Liang will never be peaceful!

"Now to solve the Beidi matter, it takes 10 million taels of silver, and the military expenditure is certainly a lot. But if this goes on for a long time, more and more states begin to intrude on the border, and military spending will only increase year by year, to the point of no return. At that time, even if the whole country is strong, I am afraid that it will not be able to return to the sky!
