Chapter 259: We're poor

In the middle hall, the civil officials have already ordered the reopening of the meeting and the examination, and their hearts are happy.

After all, who doesn't have a child who just took the exam?

Zhu Yunxi on the stairs calmly looked down on everything that was happening in front of him, with a smile on his face.

The core issue is profit.

When the people who gain are greater than the people who are damaged, they will take the initiative to give up the so-called justice they originally insisted on.

At such a moment, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Ren Hengtai, who had been looking forward to the position of Shangshu for several years, finally got his wish today, and it was not impossible for him to be the supporter of Xinxue at this time.

In fact, it is.

After receiving the order of thanksgiving, Ren Hengtai couldn't help but tense his whole body, full of joy.

After receiving the order to reopen the meeting, I subconsciously thought of the knowledge of the unity of knowledge and action launched by Xinxue.

Should I add questions on mental studies in the reconvened exam?

At this moment, Ren Hengtai was already thinking about this problem.

After all, it is obvious that the implementation of the study of mind is impossible to stop. Taisun's will has been clearly expressed, and no one in the court dares to say anything against it at this time.

Only Yuxin, the right attendant of the household, stood in the corner sullenly, puzzled that he had not heard that he had been promoted to a scholar like that old man.

This time, he did not participate in the dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, and after seeing the Taisun in Zhejiang, he took the opportunity of the kings to enter Beijing this year to admonish the policy of reducing the rice of the sect in front of the emperor.

His official position as the right servant of the household department came from this.

Today, Zhao Mian, the head of the household department, took a leave of absence from illness and could not attend today's court meeting. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhao Mian is panicking.

In the past, the household department was the closest to Liu Sanwu and others, and it was the right thing to keep a low profile on the cusp of such a storm.

It is foreseeable that Zhao Mian, the position of the head of the household department, will not be able to sit steadily, and the court will let him change his hometown with just a piece of beggar bones. If there is anything illegal in being impeached again, I can't say that I will have to ask for another crime.

Yu Xin really couldn't figure out why he didn't take over the household affairs.

At this time, the governor of the five armies led by the military general train, the governor of the capital, the founding prince was often promoted, and he was already out of the class.

"The grandson of Qiyu, the minister has the book to play."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up, and the things he really paid attention to came.

He immediately spoke: "Quasi-play." ”

Chang Sheng's face was dark, and there was a faint murderous aura, which made the civil officials next to him stare at each other, and looked at this prince who is now the number one general in Beijing with puzzled eyes.

What could have caused this person to react like that?

Just when the civil officials were puzzled.

Chang Sheng took out the music from his arms and bowed down.

Sun Gou'er, who was standing on the steps, immediately trotted to Chang Sheng and sent the chapter to Zhu Yunxi.

And Chang Sheng is Sen Sen spoke: "Qiyu Taisun, Guangxi Dao Songbao, Annan and Liaoren are arrogant, ignore the Ming Dynasty, have the audacity, plundered Guangxi Province, Guangdong Province and other places, invade the border people, brutally kill the officials and soldiers of our dynasty, and slaughter the people of our dynasty. His actions are arrogant! Its sin is hard to get rid of! ”

"Minister, please play the imperial court, and immediately reprimand the envoys of Annan and the Lao Ministry in Beijing, and order Guangxi Province and Guangdong Province to raise troops to recruit Annan and the Liao Ministry of Liaoning."

Is this going to be the founding war?

In the past, he was always a low-key person, and the most modest founding prince actually took the initiative to ask for the founding war to conquer the south?

This doesn't fit his personality!

Zhan Hui looked back in surprise, and his words were full of words to raise troops to recruit Changsheng in the south.

Then, he looked at the imperial grandson on the throne.

Zhan Hui always felt that this matter was not so simple, just now the grandson exiled the people of Jinke and the three clans to Zhennanguan, and now Chang Sheng came out to expose Annan and the Liaoren Department to kill people on the side, and the imperial court raised troops to conscript.

It's weird everywhere.

Zhan Hui couldn't help bumping into the military department Shangshu Ruyu beside him.

"Do you know about the affairs of Guangxi Province?"

Ru Yu shook his head blankly, his eyes were also confused, he was obviously the secretary of the military department, but he didn't know about Guangxi Dao?

Ru Yu said in a sullen voice: "The military department didn't know about this matter in advance. ”

Zhan Hui sighed, and then said in a low voice: "So, Annan and the Liao people are not in a big mess. ”

Ru Yu nodded.

Only if the chaos caused was not big, and Annan and the Liao people did not kill many Ming officers and soldiers and border people, they would not form a concert and send it to the military department.

But how did Chang Sheng know?

Changsheng naturally knows.

The matter of Guangxi Province was originally sent back to Beijing by the old man's people, and Zhu Yunxi himself handed it over to the second uncle and put it in the court today.

In the court, the elders were calculating.

But someone has already stepped out of the train.

It is the person who is in the matter of the household.

The household department bowed down in the middle of the matter: "Qi Taisun, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate for the Ming Dynasty to raise troops in the south at this time. ”

The meritorious generals who had long known Taisun's intentions snorted coldly.

Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen stood up directly and shouted: "The monkeys in the trees in the south have all entered the house, do I have to endure it again and again?" Tomorrow, when they reach the outside of this palace, you will also say that it is not appropriate to go to war! ”

"You!" The household department was red-faced and red-eared by Cao Zhen's words, and stomped his feet fiercely: "Jingchuan Hou, don't talk nonsense here!" Not to mention whether Annan and the Lao Ministry will fight Yingtian. If there is chaos in the south, the imperial court will raise troops to levy, and I am afraid that I will not be able to rest for a day on the frontier, right? ”

Cao Zhen snorted coldly: "Then according to what you said, why don't I release the million-strong army on the frontier now." ”

The household department is stomping his feet again in the matter, and the reckless man cannot be the same!

Chang Sheng turned his head and glared at Cao Zhen, he couldn't say nonsense: "Jingchuan Hou is cautious!" ”

Cao Zhen looked at Chang Sheng and pursed his lips, but he didn't say anything more.

Chang Sheng took over the words: "The household department has said what the matter says, and the public knows it." Since the founding of the country, our emperor has repeatedly sent envoys to the south to appease the countries, but Annan and other places have repeatedly disturbed my Ming border and have repeatedly taught me to change. I have been benevolent and righteous in my court, and I have never raised a great army, but if I retreat and retreat, where can I retreat at that time? ”

"What the national prince said, the lower officials also knew. But if there is chaos in the border areas, there will be a large-scale expedition, and the national prince has ever thought about the difficulties of the household department, and whether the treasury can support this war? ”

The household department still argued with reason in the matter, and turned around and said directly: "Qi Taisun, the grandson can ask the household department, how much grain is still in the treasury of our dynasty, how much surplus grain is still in the warehouses in various places, and whether it can support another war in addition to the nine-sided war." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi sighed lightly and looked at the silent right attendant of the household, Yuxin: "What is the amount of money and grain in the household department now?" ”

Yu Xin frowned and went out of class: "Qiyu Taisun, this year's summer grain is put into storage, released from the nine sides, and the autumn fu is collected, and it is still being cleaned up." This year, the Nine Sides went on a large-scale expedition, and the imperial court sent millions of loads of grain and grass to the Yan Wang's department. A few months ago, Liang Guogong set out to pacify the northwest, and the national treasury was difficult, so if he opened the south again at this time......"

The eyebrows of the right attendant of the household department are almost squeezed together.

To sum it up, in one sentence, the household has money, but not much.

And the household department said in the matter: "Now that the end of the year is approaching, the Qin Tianjian is playing, and there may be heavy snow this winter, and the household department will also set aside a large warehouse to store surplus grain to prevent local relief." Please also ask the grandson to know. ”

No money.

The imperial court had no money.

Zhu Yunxi was a little helpless, but the answer given by the household department was also expected by him.

If he can hear from these people that the court's money is not spent, he will be a ghost.

Thinking about it, Da Ming's image seems to be from beginning to end, and he seems to have always been a strong person with five big and three thick, constantly shouting that there is no money, no money, no money.

Zhu Yunxi said in a deep voice: "Guangxi Province has been looted and slaughtered, what do you think the imperial court should do?" ”

Yu Xin's heart was bitter, although Taisun did not name him, his eyes were staring at him.

He had no choice but to speak: "The imperial court...... This time, Guangxi Province was plundered, presumably not very serious, and the imperial court immediately ordered Guangxi Province to appease the border people and provide relief to the border people. The military department and the Governor's Office sent a letter to the Guangxi Provincial Commander and the Envoy, reprimanded the Guangxi Provincial garrison for being unfavorable, and ordered it to rectify military affairs, strictly guard the border areas, and not let the Annan and Liao Ministries have another opportunity to take advantage of. ”

This is the advice of the old man.

In fact, it was impossible for the imperial court to send troops to conscript if there was chaos anywhere.

This is a reckless military force, and sooner or later the treasury will be emptied, and it will be finished together.

But Zhu Yunxi was not satisfied with such an answer, and snorted: "In this way, Annan and the Liaoren Department have not taken any measures to investigate my Daming?" ”

Yu Xin's gaze swept over Zhan Hui, Ru Yu and others, hoping that these people could say a few words for him, but now he found that Taisun seemed to be staring at him alone.

Zhan Hui coughed lightly.

Ru Yu reluctantly went out of class and stood in front of Yu Xin: "Qiyu grandson, the national funds are difficult, and the social welfare is the most important." The Ministry of War thought that it was enough to reprimand the envoys of Annan and Liaoren and admonish Guangxi Dao. The Ministry of War should also conduct cultural training and discipline Guangxi Road, drill soldiers and horses, and prevent further incidents. ”

Zhan Hui also came out and said: "Your Highness, the soldiers are taboo, and they should not be moved lightly. That is, His Royal Highness wants to conquer the country in the south that is not subordinate, and he should also repair the society internally, wait for the national funds to be full, the soldiers are strong, the good generals are selected, and the commander is the commander, and the battle will be decided. ”

As the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households successively stated their positions, the difficulties of the imperial court were indicated.

The officials who had previously stood with Zhu Yunxi and supported the Punishment Committee to try to cheat and the personnel involved in the fraud came forward again and seconded the recommendations of the Third Department to dissuade Zhu Yunxi from starting a conquest lightly.

Cao Zhen's face was full of unhappiness, and he couldn't help but roar: "Humiliation! Shameful! Cowardly! ”

A group of meritorious generals also showed displeasure.

In the court, it was a stalemate for a while.

The civil officials were afraid that the emperor's grandson would be kidnapped by the meritorious generals of the DPRK and China, and embarked on the road of reckless military force, and they were worried that the national treasury would be increasingly empty and that they would not be able to make ends meet.

The generals were eager to start the conquest and take down the pieces of land in the south.

Zhu Yunxi looked outside the hall.

Yesterday, there was a report from the fleet of the Zhenwei army returning to Beijing, but it has not yet arrived.

He was waiting for the silver that Lee Kyung-ryong and Tie Hyun had scavenged from the Wa Kingdom.

But for now, he didn't wait for the money.

saw the figures of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, appearing outside the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead, and walked in a tiger style: "Where is not a minister, offending my Ming Dynasty and insulting my people?" ”

The hearts of the hundred officials in the hall were shocked.

His Majesty, who I haven't seen for a long time, actually showed up today.

In the blink of an eye, the hundred officials in the hall had already turned to face the temple door.

"Your Majesty is greeted."

"Long live Your Majesty, Chitose Crown Prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and walked to the steps of His Majesty, and his palm slapped on the shoulder of Zhu Yunxi, who stood up with the hundred officials.

"Sit down."

Zhu Yuanzhang whispered in Zhu Yunxi's ear and pressed him back into the chair.

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang pressed one hand on Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, and waved his fork in the air on his waist with the other: "Let's talk about it." ”

Chang Sheng immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, there is news in Guangxi Province, Annan and the Lao people have committed crimes, killed our officers and people, plundered the territory, and people and gods are angry!" ”

The household department also opened his mouth in the matter: "Your Majesty, the national treasury is difficult, the nine sides are heavy, and the conquest is continuous, and the imperial court must not easily start a war in the south." ”

Yu Xin echoed: "Your Majesty, the two taxes this year have been calculated, and they have been delivered, put into storage, and leveled, and it is really difficult to supply the southern expedition." ”

Zhu Yunxi suddenly spoke: "There is only a shortage of the household department, and the warehouse is stretched, if the imperial court has not been short of grain, grass, money, and money, what should it do?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was originally pondering and scrutinizing, suddenly looked down at the eldest grandson who said this.

Yu Xin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If the imperial court wants to conquer the south, there will be no less than 100,000 officers and soldiers, and no less than 200,000 people. ”

After Yu Xin finished speaking, he looked up at the grandson above, but he was thinking in his heart that the imperial court could not be rich anyway.

100,000 troops, 200,000 people, local attrition, that is an astronomical amount, unless silver falls from the sky, and grain falls.

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered: "The internal money is ......"

"Report, Qin's dispatch to Zhejiang Province for disaster relief has made the King of Qin have the capital to enter Beijing."

"Report, the general of the town has entered Beijing."

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was estimating how much money he could take out of his private house, so that Chang Sheng could take his eldest grandson to the south for a walk and see the affairs of the soldiers with his own eyes, there was a report from the eunuch outside the palace.

The emperor's eyebrows jumped.

Zhu Yunxi's heart was beating wildly, and he immediately looked up at the old man, and then stood up suddenly: "Summoned into the hall!" ”

The hundred officials in the hall also turned their heads to look outside the hall.

Everyone knows in their hearts that Zhejiang Dao and the Zhenwei army were all pushed to power by Taisun.

And the DPRK and China may not have heard about these two sides for a long time.

Under the gaze of the civil and military officials, I saw two people outside the hall stepping into the hall side by side.

One is Zhang Wen, the deputy general of the Zhenwei army, Heqinghou.

One is the Bunkaden walker, Tobe Lang Nakatsuharayoshi.
