Chapter 148: What a big dog's guts
But also, the food in the palace is good, and there is someone to take care of it, how good, if Zhu Houxi is put aside, he doesn't want to go home, no one can find him here, there is a special little eunuch waiting, in the cabinet, everyone only talks about work.
Besides, the person concerned knows that this is not a bad thing, but for others, this is not a good thing, you know, this is equivalent to house arrest in disguise.
Yang Tinghe is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is directly under house arrest in disguise, which is not good news, at that time, everyone was speculating about His Majesty's intentions, and the guys with ghosts in their hearts below were a little uneasy, but more than a month has passed, but nothing has happened, and everyone has gradually relaxed their vigilance, but several old guys in the cabinet are not vigilant at all.
Especially Jiang Mian, he has been speculating about the intention of this matter, and he has also tried it intentionally or unintentionally when he is working, but who is Yang Tinghe, he said that he doesn't care about this matter, and the exceptions are not good, His Majesty is determined to be hard to the end, after all, it is money, and it is the money in hand.
If his son Yang Shen is not from His Majesty's side, it would be fine, it's a big deal that this Shoufu will quit, and he will be hard with His Majesty in the end, and he will have his own reputation, but now things are different, he also has a son, even if he doesn't think about himself, he has to think about his son and their Yang family.
So this kind of thing, he doesn't care about it, it's the best, it's okay if there is no trouble outside, and he takes the initiative to resign when it makes trouble, this is the most perfect result, and it will not delay his son's future.
Besides, although he relied on the so-called immortal medicine to make a fortune in the world, the effect of the medicine is indeed real, and it was created by his own son, this is a famous thing, reputation is a good thing, weighing the pros and cons, in fact, it is still biased towards His Majesty's side, and he will follow His Majesty's acting.
"Father-in-law Huang, don't worry, Your Majesty has his thoughts, the ministers really want to make trouble, although Your Majesty may not win a big victory, but you will not lose." He was quite surprised by Huang Jin's arrival, but he didn't care about Huang Jin's worries, His Majesty had been preparing for more than a month, and he might not necessarily win, but he would definitely not lose, at most he would lose both.
However, he prefers His Majesty to win, because as long as His Majesty is tough enough, those people will naturally back down, and scholars, especially those who have stepped into officialdom, are the most aware of the art of compromise.
"Elder Yang Ge, why don't you understand the meaning of the slave maid, this will definitely cause an uproar, and the whole Ming Dynasty will be in chaos at that time, why aren't you worried at all." Huang Jin is in a hurry, have you listened to me, Your Majesty directly caught and killed, you always imagine yourself, if the matter spreads, it won't be against the sky?
Yang Tinghe shook his head, he had thought of this kind of thing a long time ago, there was no need, there was no need to be in a hurry, as for the opposition of the world's scholars? Does Your Majesty care, didn't you just put down the rebellion.
Of course, there must be riots, but they are not as exaggerated as Huang Jin imagined, His Majesty has already prepared and will not let the world go into chaos, and isn't he here, the dragons have no leader, it's just a plate of loose sand.
But this is not something that Huang Jin should discuss, besides, even if you are in a hurry, you should go to Lu Fang, what is the matter with me, there is indeed a bit of a problem with your brain.
"Father-in-law Huang, don't worry, Your Majesty has your own considerations, what you should do most should be to believe in Your Majesty, it's not the old man who said you, you came to the old man, this thing is not right."
"I am also sick and rushed to the doctor, I hope that the elder will solve his doubts." Huang Jin admits that he really loves you and is in a hurry, but what should I do, no one really says it, my godfather is going crazy with a busy job, can he still let him find Chen Hong?
Yang Tinghe shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "What you should do now is to have confidence in Your Majesty, don't worry, you can just follow what Your Majesty says, in other words, Your Majesty doesn't know if they will end badly, but Your Majesty still did it, Huang Gonggong, think about it." β
Yang Tinghe didn't say much, what a shrewd person Your Majesty is, how shrewd Lu Fang is, they are not in a hurry, you say, what are you looking for, and you still find him here, this is the most stupid, because in essence, I will not stand on this end.
"Huang Jin, you are so bold." Before Huang Jin could reply, he saw Zhu Houxi with a gloomy face.
Huang Jin was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground, and said in a somewhat panicked voice: "The slave and maid knock to see Your Majesty, the slave and maid deserve to die, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." β
"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years." Yang Tinghe shook his head helplessly, good guy, just load the muzzle, count you unlucky, but in essence, it is for the good of Your Majesty, Your Majesty should not be punished heavily, it should.
"Forgiveness? Huang Jin, you are so bold, you dare to make your own decisions to me, and you came to Yang Tinghe, are you not small? Zhu Houxi sneered, he just thought that Huang Jin was a little stupid, but he didn't expect it to be so stupid, no matter how he said it, he couldn't come here, when did I tell you that Yang Tinghe was his own person, he was not very old, how could he clean up these things.
"Slaves deserve to die." Huang Jin trembled like chaff, his head kept knocking, and his forehead was bleeding.
"Come on, drag it down for thirty years, bring it back after the fight, and don't go out without my order." Zhu Houxi didn't want to hear anything, this is stupid and nothing else, asking questions and strategies to the opponent, his brain is really not bright.
"No." The little eunuch below didn't dare to speak when he heard it, so he had to quickly drag Huang Jin down, but His Majesty also said that he would take him back and ground him after the fight, indicating that he had no idea of killing.
Seeing Huang Jin being dragged away, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, Huang Jin's heart is still good, but things are inevitably worse, and it is also appropriate not to let him handle government affairs, I hope to be more shrewd in the future.
"Father-in-law Huang is also unintentional, and there must be loyalty, but his brain is really not very bright." Yang Tinghe smiled helplessly when he saw it, His Majesty must have been very helpless.
"If I hadn't known that he was loyal, I would have dragged him out and killed him a long time ago, forget it, don't talk about it, how are you living here?" I don't bother to say a few words about Zhu Houxi, there is no need not to be it.
"It's okay, it's quite comfortable, at least no one is bothering." Yang Tinghe smiled, how comfortable he was, only those who had lived there knew that he was really right, otherwise he would be annoyed to death now, how could he be so stopping.
"Huang Jin told you?"
"I didn't say too much, but the Confucian scholars did say that they were making trouble, and he was afraid that His Majesty would be too radical, and he wanted me to persuade His Majesty." Yang Tinghe smiled, although Huang Jin is indeed a bit naΓ―ve in doing things, but in essence, it is indeed for His Majesty's good.
"Forget it, don't talk about him, what do you think about this, do you think I'm too radical?" Of course, he just asked, no matter what Yang Tinghe said, what he had to do and what he had to do, he did it, how could he stop because Yang Tinghe said a few words.
But Yang Tinghe is old and spicy after all, they are all old foxes, and it is also excellent to ask.
"Your Majesty will listen to the truth or falsehood?" Yang Tinghe is not in a hurry, he feels that he has been in the cabinet for more than a month, and his heart has improved a lot, but it is a pity that His Majesty has designated him to be thrown out during this time, and the good days will no longer exist.
"Say whatever you want, I don't care if you tell the truth or not." Zhu Houxi glanced at him, he didn't play cards at all, he really thought that Lao Tzu would come to ask for advice, and then pretend to drive you home, and you will have a headache when the time comes.
"Ahem, the old minister thinks that what His Majesty did is not wrong, if he is not stronger, he will have more headaches later, of course, this will also cause a strong backlash, it depends on how His Majesty deals with it." Yang Tinghe coughed lightly, don't play your cards according to the routine, it makes me embarrassed.
"It's the same as not saying it, forget it, I don't expect you to say anything, you say, will someone collude with foreigners?" Zhu Houxi squinted, infighting is infighting, but being a traitor is another matter, although it is true, Qi Jingtong has already set off with five armies, if there is really any problem, at that time, others will already be in position, unless they have already become traitors.
Zhu Houxi still doesn't want to see such a result, focusing on infighting, this is inferior, understandable, he wants to suppress the imperial power, he also admits it, after all, if he is a courtier, he also wants to be a minister or even an emperor, but you can't say anything about colluding with foreign races to invade your own nation, such a person is not too much to exterminate the nine clans with a thousand knives.
When asked about this, Yang Tinghe was also silent, to be honest, he is not easy to say, the officialdom is mixed, there are not no people with bad brains or big ambitions, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, they are all bad things, and he dare not guarantee that there are no such people, after all, people's hearts are too difficult to guess.
"Forget it, it's a vain question to ask, and you don't dare to guarantee anything, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and some people look like dogs, so it's hard to say what they do in private." Zhu Houxi shook his head, he felt that there should be, although he didn't know who there were, but there must be rotten people, God knows what his brain thinks, maybe he feels that the Han people are inferior.
Zhu Houxi has no doubt that there is such a rotten person, because there must be, there are no birds when the collar is big, the Ming Dynasty is so big, it is normal to have a few traitors, it would be strange if there was no him.
"Your Majesty, don't think about it, after all, this is just Your Majesty's speculation, what if you don't." Yang Tinghe can't say anything, how to say it, everyone's thoughts are different, besides, this time His Majesty has made some people suffer such a big loss, and there will be any kind of revenge in the future, even if he doesn't say it, His Majesty must know much better than him.
"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"
"Hehe, you also said that it was just in case, forget it, don't think about it, I have already asked Qi Jingtong to lead the troops there, I'm not afraid that someone will be funny, I'm afraid that he won't fight, I'm ready, after all, it's a new army, and I still have to go through a war." There was a sneer on the corner of Zhu Houxi's mouth, Lao Tzu's soldiers, horses, grain and grass have moved, the secret weapons are ready, and he plans to fight a war when his family is empty, if there is no movement, it is not good.
Compared with Zhu Houxi's confidence, Yang Tinghe did not have such an optimistic view, after all, how can there be immortals in war, Qi Jingtong's army was formed less than a year ago, although it received the previous three major battalions, but it is difficult to say how much combat power it has, now it is really going to fight, it is good to win, if it loses.
Besides, the army has gone out, so what should the capital do, once the outside fight exposes the emptiness of the capital, it will be difficult to say at that time, I am afraid that there will be internal strife, and then it will be internal and external troubles, no matter which side goes wrong, it will inevitably collapse on all fronts.
"Your Majesty, once the war starts, it's hard to say, after all, once the war starts, it is the people of Li who suffer, and once the war starts, in case of loss, the defense around the capital will be empty, and if the Tatars drive straight into the ......"
Yang Tinghe still has to say, in fact, to be honest, Beijing's geographical location is not very good, at the beginning of the ancestor moved to fight a good war, but the Ming army gradually weakened, in Beijing a little bit of a beating, won the natural laughter, lost, that can really only flee in a hurry.
"Yes, even you think so, in fact, I don't want to fight, I also want peaceful and stable development, but no, there are always some bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods who want to jump out, if I win this battle, there is nothing to say inside and outside the DPRK, and I can stop for a long time later." Zhu Houxi is right, fighting a war has the advantages of fighting, after all, the Ming Dynasty has been weak for a long time, and a simple victory can stabilize the morale of the army and deter Xiaoxiao.
"And what if you lose?" Anyway, Yang Tinghe didn't answer, even if ninety percent of me was treated, he didn't want to fight, and if he won, it would only be a few years away, and if he lost, it would be different.
Zhu Houxi looked at Yang Tinghe with a smile and said softly: "Do you know how much the military expenditure of the Beijing camp is in a year? β
"There should be a lot, but how much, the old minister doesn't know, after all, it's the account of the inner treasury." Yang Tinghe shook his head, he really didn't know too much, but he had heard a lot.
"The army of 250,000 people, in less than a year, has already spent 5 million taels, and this is still a case where 100,000 has only been recruited for a few months, and it has to be 10 million in a year, you say, if this loses, I don't run or not, what does he Qi Jingtong eat?" Zhu Houxi sneered, even if he didn't have a family background, Qi Jingtong shouldn't lose, he just wanted to die less, and then play more beautifully.
"How can there be so many?" Yang Tinghe was taken aback, I'll take it, usually the annual military expenditure is only hundreds of thousands, and the war is only a million, now it's okay, one year is comparable to the previous twenty years of military expenditure, Your Majesty is too willing.
"Many? It's not much, Yang Shen has spent more than 20 million yuan, you think I make money just to make money, I have more places to spend money, those soldiers can eat meat every day as long as they behave well, if they don't have any ability, they will be wiped out by the Tatars as soon as possible, and I will form another one. β
Zhu Houyu waved his hand, although the training time is short, but the intensity is high, and the training is well-trained, the first battle may suffer a loss, and it will naturally be fine if you see blood later, Zhu Houyu is confident.
