Chapter 400: A War Without Gunpowder
Liu Jin was anxious, and the bruises on his head jumped. The tigers can't stand the wolves, the heroes can't resist the gangsters, where did you say this group of civil officials who study and speak all day long?
Zhu Houzhao sighed: "What the two adults said makes sense, but I am also a human being, and the ten thousand people in this palace also have to eat, drink and Lazar, one percent is too little." ”
Ma Wensheng immediately blocked up: "Yes, it's the minister's lack of thought." In this way, the minister has the courage to call the shots, and how about giving Neiku Issei again? Oh, the reward for the wolf army and the reward for shooting the Japanese army are all paid for by the national treasury, what does Your Majesty think? ”
Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiao Fang, and Jiao Fang was silent. snorted coldly in his heart, this Jiao Fang can't be used, his butt is crooked, and no matter how talented he is, it will be a scourge.
Liu Jin finally charged again: "Master Ma, there are a lot of affairs in the palace, and the two are only 60,000 taels, and the support should not be opened." ”
Jiao Fang raised his head and said with a smile: "What Gonggong Liu said is that the palace is the face of a country, and it is also the place where His Majesty lives, and it is shabby. In the opinion of the minister, it is better to add two more. ”
Ma Wensheng looked at each other angrily: "There are only 10,000 people in the palace, and the treasury should be hundreds of millions of people in the world!" Master Jiao, which is more important? ”
Li Dongyang came forward to play a round: "Master Jiao is also a loyal and patriotic heart, and Master Ma does not need to be demanding." According to Lord Jiao, forty percent of the inner treasury must be enough for His Majesty to support for a period of time. ”
Zhu Houzhao's heart is bright, Jiao Fang and Ma Wensheng sing one and one red and one black, locking and allocating four or six opens, this should be the bottom line discussed by the cabinet. Hehe, Jiao Fang, Jiao Fang, will the traitor have a good life?
Liu Jin was dissatisfied: "No! The master is the master of the world, and the money is the master who took the risk to get it back. ”
"Forget it, Liu Companion, all the elders of the pavilion have the world in their hearts, not their own selfishness, and I can't ignore it in vain. In this way, the inner treasury was thirty into seven gold, and the remaining spices and gold were given to the treasury. Zhu Houzhao shook his head, he didn't want to play this kind of game anymore, anyway, they didn't know how much money they had in their hands.
A spark flashed in Li Dongyang's eyes, and he smiled reservedly: "Your Majesty is broad-minded, but it seems that he is a little family." Well, for the country and the people, he will not hesitate to do this, let alone a little reputation? As Your Majesty said. After the cabinet elders left, Zhu Houzhao instructed Liu Jin uneasily: "Liu Companion, the news in the palace must be blocked to death, don't leak the news." ”
"Don't worry, master, the slave and maid will arrange it."
It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao's worries still came true, and the next day Li Dongyang hurriedly called the door with a few elders.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's old ministers are so bitter!"
Zhu Houzhao didn't know why, and asked in surprise: "What did Master Li say that?" ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty brought back a million taels, but only said 300,000 taels, Your Majesty, this matter is not appropriate!"
Zhu Houzhao's face turned red, and he turned his head to look at Liu Jin angrily. Liu Jin was confused, he had blocked the palace, where did the news leak go? He immediately stood up to share the Lord's worries: "Master Li, it is indeed 300,000 taels, where did you get 1 million taels?" ”
Zhu Houzhao knew in his heart that he couldn't stay in this palace! It's all leaking like a sieve, how can you keep any secrets? He snorted coldly: "Liu Jin is cautious! Only then did he turn his head to Li Dongyang and say, "Master Li, I brought back a million taels." But this money is useful! ”
When Li Dongyang got the news last night, his jaw almost fell off in shock. If it were 500,000 taels, it would have been counted, and there would have been 180,000 taels of gold, which was equivalent to nearly 2 million taels of silver. Can a million? That's half a year's financial income! No, no!
Ma Wensheng immediately charged: "Your Majesty, what's the use?" There are not many things in this world that require nearly 10 million taels of silver! ”
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes, and an invisible pressure rushed towards Ma Wensheng. Zhu Houzhao has been on the battlefield in this period, and there is already a sand on his body, at this time, Ma Wensheng only felt a sinking on his body, and he was surprised in his heart, the emperor was so angry!
But if others are pressed by Zhu Houzhao like this, they must be a little uncomfortable, but it has no effect on Ma Wensheng. Marven has been on the battlefield for a long time, and when he was promoted to the elder of the pavilion, he was still supervising the battle in Hami, and he was unaware of the pressure of this idea.
Zhu Houzhao put away his evil anger and smiled: "Master Ma is old and strong, I have to obey." Master Ma, you have been in the army for a long time, how is the Ming Border Army and the Beijing Forbidden Army, there must be a lot of them. The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the 12th Battalion of the Capital are now a mess of mud, how dare I rely on them to protect the important land of the Beijing Division? Since its birth, the Cooking Wolf Army has been invincible and invincible, whether it is the grassland barbarians or the Ningxia rebels, there is no enemy. However, the number of people is too small to be of great use. This time, I made up my mind to go to sea to inspect the sea, just to solve this problem once and for all. ”
Ma Wensheng thought about it, what Zhu Houzhao said was not unreasonable, so he nodded: "Your Majesty thinks high, and the old minister admires it." But the military department..."
Zhu Houzhao immediately interrupted Ma Wensheng's words: "Of course, the military department is not a corpse vegetarian meal, but how can the power of just one force move the intricately intertwined Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" In this world, it is impossible to do without money. If you have money, you have to have the corresponding authority, and the military department is still a little short of waiting to do such things. ”
Your Majesty, this is to collect military power! Li Dongyang immediately became vigilant: "Your Majesty, this matter is important, and the court will move because of this in the next few decades, so you must be cautious!" According to the old minister's opinion, it is the best policy to convene the governor's office and the military department of the five armies to discuss together! ”
Procrastination! And fishing in troubled waters! Zhu Houzhao understood Li Dongyang's wishful thinking and shook his head: "Master Li, where is the reason to discuss punishment in front of prisoners?" Inappropriate! ”
Liu Zhong immediately grabbed Zhu Houzhao's slip of the tongue: "Your Majesty, the Governor's Mansion and the Military Department of the Five Armies are not prisoners, please be cautious!" ”
Zhu Houzhaoteng was full of anger, chewing the words? Or am I the Lord of the Heavens? slapped the Eight Immortals table: "Liu Zhong!" ”
Liu Zhong stood up, slowly took off his black gauze hat, and put it on the table. He bowed deeply to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the minister Liu Zhong offended His Majesty and deserved death." However, the Governor's Mansion and the Military Department of the Five Armies are all subordinates of His Majesty, please treat them kindly! ”
Is this a forced palace? Zhu Houzhao was even more angry in his heart, and sneered: "I'm just an analogy, Lord Liu just went on the line and bit it, I really don't know that loyal ministers act like this!" ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Dongyang hurriedly stood up and walked in front of Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, Lord Liu has no other intentions, I just hope that Your Majesty will be cautious." ”
Li Dongyang's face still has to be sold, Zhu Houzhao forcibly suppressed his anger and snorted: "Master Li, it's not that I have to do anything, the reality is there, can you turn a blind eye with a few words?" As the folk saying goes, if you pick up sesame seeds, you lose watermelon. Paying attention to it verbally can save the 12 battalions in the capital? ”
