Chapter 640: Reward

The situation in the household department has deteriorated to the point where there is no room for delay, can it continue! Issuing bonds?

Yang Yiqing doesn't think so, because he understands that this is drinking to quench his thirst, others can do this, but he can't, he is an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and he has a clear name, so he can't be ruined because of this.

Thinking of this, Yang Yiqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked at Yang Tinghe in embarrassment, and said, "Yang Gong, the household department is in danger, and His Majesty is unwilling to give money to help, what should I do?" ”

Yang Tinghe has been a cabinet minister for so many years, and he can be described as an old man in government affairs, but now, he is in a dilemma.

The reason for the embarrassment is not that he is not intelligent enough, but that he has never encountered such a situation.

When new affairs appeared, many wise people often stared dryly, just as in later generations, many of the so-called 'juniors', those so-called' famous ministers, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, most of them had not become clown-like figures.

After all, in this life, the knowledge they receive is the old way, and the things they see are also the old system, they are the beneficiaries of the old system, and they are also the wisest people in the system, they are familiar with the laws of the system, and they know what happens in the system and how to solve it, but once a new thing arises, they find that they are helpless.

Yang Tinghe now, that's what he thinks, a few years ago, he did have the confidence to think that the things in the world are nothing more than a law, he is familiar with the principles of the cabinet, so he knows very well how to solve problems, but at the moment, he found that this problem seems to be a dead knot.

"This basket was originally stabbed by Wang Xue, but now, I asked the Nunnery to clean it up for them." Yang Tinghe couldn't help but complain, and said: "Right now, it seems that this hot potato can't be picked up, it's just that who should the hot potato be passed on?" Why don't you pass it on to Zhang Zilin? ”

Yang Yiqing understood Yang Tinghe's mind at this time, since it was a hot potato, it couldn't explode in his own hands.

Yang Yiqing shook his head and said, "Zhang Zilin may not be willing to accept it, besides, he is the secretary of the Criminal Department." ”

Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly: "Actually, the old man has a candidate, isn't Xu Qian the governor of Zhizhejiang now, these pseudo-scholarly people are qualified enough to be promoted to Shangshu, only Xu Qian is left, and he is almost tossing in Zhizhejiang, isn't there a good news coming from the latest?" It's better to let him enter Beijing than to put it in place, it's better to put it under your nose and mine, at least ・・・・・・ it's more reassuring, and ・・・・・・ so many debts from the household department, I think it's more of his instructions, Liang Teng, this person, doesn't have such courage, it's not Xu Qian who instigated behind his back, and he can't lend such silver, now, let him preside over the household department, if he doesn't do well, just take this opportunity to impeach him for misleading the country and the people, but if he does it well, it just solves the problem of credit for this household departmentWhat does the temple think? ”

Yang Yiqing said: "I'm afraid of raising tigers." ”

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but smile: "Now, if you don't want to raise a tiger, you won't succeed, if it goes on like this, it will be the Nunnery who will suffer, and your name will be cleared for a lifetime, how can you be buried here?" ”

Yang Yiqing hesitated a little, and his mind faltered. The reason why Xu Qian was able to become powerful is that in the past few years, he has let go of his hands and feet in the local area, relying on the high emperor Yuan, showing his strength in the Zhizhejiang area, and cultivating a lot of cronies, and now his wings are full, if he continues to stay in Zhizhejiang for a few years, I really don't know what will happen.

In this case, it is better to recall the imperial court, at least this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so that he will not be allowed to do anything wrong.

Thinking of this, Yang Yiqing pondered for a moment and said: "It can only be like this now, but he has just been promoted to the governor of Zhizhejiang, what reason is it to recall him, Your Majesty, will you be willing?" ”

Yang Tinghe squinted his eyes and said, "It's not difficult......

He took out a book in his hand and said: "This book is a recent good news, Xu Qian exterminated the Japanese Kou, killed 1,300 thieves, and transferred troops to break the Great Ryukyu, saying that most of the people living on the Great Ryukyu are the people of the Ming Dynasty, please set up the Taiwan Mansion in the imperial court, and it is also under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Political Envoy, this ・・・・・・ is a great achievement, but this kind of thing in the north and south, saying that the big is big, and saying that the small is also a small thing, his contribution is also big or small, the old man wanted to press, but now it seems that it is time for people to make noise, Let everyone know that the governor of Zhizhejiang has made new contributions. ”

Yang Yiqing understood, and said: "What Yang Gong means is to take advantage of this momentum to make a lot of noise about Xu Qian's exploits, and then, the palace will definitely be rewarded, and take this opportunity to say that he will move His Majesty and transfer Xu Qian back to Beijing?" ”

Yang Tinghe said lightly: "After the change in the palace, His Majesty has been walking on thin ice, and he no longer trusts most people, I am afraid that at this time, His Majesty will not be able to sleep at night, His Majesty is suspicious, but he is not suspicious of Xu Qian, at this time, as long as we are willing to let Xu Qian enter Beijing, His Majesty will definitely be very good at talking, at least, His Majesty needs Xu Qian now."

Hearing this, Yang Yiqing's face flashed with a hint of anger, and he sighed: "Ridiculous, sighing, Your Majesty is suspicious!" But he is suspicious of loyal ministers, and would rather believe in traitors. ”!

Yang Tinghe said: "Because traitors will do what they like, and their advice is always against their ears, this matter, just do it, it should be faster." ”

Yang Yiqing nodded.

It didn't take long for a letter to be transferred to the palace through the cabinet, and the size of the credit was indeed the final word, and some of the credit was great, but if it was thought that it had no impact, under the word of the people, most people would disagree with it. However, if some marginal exploits are right for the appetite, or if they just cater to the psychology of some people, everyone exaggerates them together, and they suddenly become outstanding.

The merit of the Zhizhejiang Pingwan is like this, capturing 5,000 Japanese and killing more than 1,000 thieves, this is not a small achievement in any case, and the establishment of the Taiwan government can also be regarded as opening up the territory, and the Taiwan government is mostly Han people, and there are many articles to be done to renaturalize the Han people.

Jiajing read one by one of the books, and didn't expect that in Zhizhejiang, Xu Qian was silent and made great contributions, and the tense feelings in the past few days were slightly eased.

At this time, after all, a warmth was injected into his heart, and he couldn't help laughing: "This guy, why didn't you report it in advance, I didn't know about such a big move?" ”

Huang Jin replied: "Your Majesty, in fact, Xu Qian has already written a book, but the cabinet thinks that this is a trivial matter, so he has been suppressing it." I can't hold it down now, so ・・・・・・"

Jiajing snorted coldly, and immediately cheered up, and said: "However・・・・・・ this is also a good thing, such a merit, it should be rewarded, otherwise I don't know, I still think that the court is stingy, besides, there are still frequent wars in the north, and Zhizhejiang can also set an example, let those Qiu Ba take a good look and see how Zhizhejiang is working hard." ”

He pondered for a moment: "Allocate 500,000 taels of internal funds to reward meritorious soldiers, but it is only Xu Qian's credit, has the cabinet drawn it up?" ”

Huang Jindao: "The slave maid heard that there seems to be no movement on the cabinet side. ”

Jiajing said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, please Yang Tinghe to meet, I want to ask in person, I know that he and Xu Qian are not on good terms, but such a snub of the hero, it is too much of a childish for him, since he wants to press, want to delay, then I will ask him personally." ”

Huang Jin nodded and hurriedly went to invite Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe came quickly, and before he saluted after entering the hall, Jiajing Xingshi asked the guilty: "Recently, there has been a report that Zhizhejiang has exterminated the Japanese invaders, and since then the Japanese have been completely clarified, does the cabinet know about this matter?" ”

If you know, Jiajing will naturally have something to say, but if you say you don't know, Jiajing will definitely be furious and scold for such a big thing, how could the cabinet not know.

Yang Tinghe said calmly: "The old minister knows something. ”

Some two words, ambiguous, offensive and defensive.

Jiajing also seemed to hear the sound of the strings, and raised his eyebrows: "Then, why doesn't the cabinet reward the relevant personnel?" ”

Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly: "The cabinet has difficulties. ”

"Difficulty? What is the difficulty? ”

Yang Tinghe Zhengse said: "Everyone else can be rewarded, but if all the other personnel are rewarded, but the governor of Zhizhejiang does not reward him, it seems inappropriate." ”

"Why didn't the governor of Zhizhejiang raise the reward?" Jiajing frowned.

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty also knows that the credit is not small, and the governor of Zhizhejiang leads this matter, and the credit is not small, but the question is, how to promote and how to reward?" If he is promoted again, he will definitely enter the court, and with his qualifications, he must serve as Shangshu, but there is no vacancy in Shangshu for the time being. But if it is simply rewarded, it is inappropriate, because once it is rewarded, and other relevant personnel are promoted, but the governor of Zhizhejiang only gives some financial rewards, which seems to be inappropriate. It's just that he wants to be knighted, obviously there are difficulties, his father already has a knighthood, if both father and son are knighted, isn't this knighthood also inappropriate, Weichen's difficulty is here. ”

Jiajing has no words, there is no place to be promoted, the positions of the six Shangshu are full, and he can't be sent to Nanjing to serve as a Shangshu, this is not a promotion, it is obviously a derogation. However, if you want to be rewarded, it is nothing more than wealth and the like, but the relevant personnel must be promoted, but the greatest credit is only to reward some gold and silver, which is obviously not appropriate. As for the knighthood, it can't be said that the son has made meritorious contributions, so give his father a knight, even if he gives Xu Qian a knight, what's the use of adding it, Xu Chang is now a marquis, if Xu Qian is given an earl, and when Xu Chang dies, this marquis will be hereditarily replaced, it is for Xu Qian, and Xu Qian, the earl, will become a blank check.

Seem...... There really makes some sense.

It's just that Jiajing seems to see Yang Tinghe's thoughts, he is obviously using this to make things difficult, so he deliberately wants to delay this matter, Jiajing feels that Yang Tinghe is fooling himself.

So Jiajing smiled coldly and said, "According to me, it may not be impossible to raise the reward. ”
