Chapter Twenty-Nine: Besides, Lao Tzu is no longer the emperor
Li Banghua was also unlucky, just a few days after taking over Beijing, he encountered a sudden drop in temperature and heavy snowfall, killing and injuring hundreds of people in one night.
On the same day, several speeches and officials were presented, and Li Banghua was vigorously criticized and impeached for his poor supervision, which led to such a big loss.
Seeing these chapters, the apocalypse was furious, as if it were someone else, and this kind of thing would not have happened.
Take a chicken feather as an arrow, these people are not stupid, but really bad.
Tianqi knew that there were likely to be Wei Zhongxian's people in it, but Jingying was the object of his key attention, and it was an important military force related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty.
He did not allow anyone to arbitrarily fabricate accusations against Li Banghua, the chief official, so that the rectification of the Beijing camp came to a standstill and continued to erode.
Therefore, Tianqi said unceremoniously: "It seems that Li Banghua really doesn't like some people, he has only been in office for a few days, and he has been targeted." ”
"I'm not so confused that I even have to blame Li Banghua for such a thing, didn't there be any dead people in Beijing in previous years? Why doesn't anyone care? Why didn't anyone think of replenishing cotton clothes and building barracks for the Beijing camp? ”
"Who would have thought that as soon as you take over Jingying, you have to prepare these two things first? Where does the money come from? Where does the cotton suit come from? Will the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry directly allocate it to Li Banghua? ”
"These people, focusing on others making mistakes, do not consider the actual situation at all, this is not stupid, or bad, no matter what kind of category, what is the use of it? All the officials were cut and returned to their hometowns, and they were never hired. ”
Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but be taken aback, he hadn't seen Banzai so angry for a long time.
Actually, this matter was not instructed by him, but the people below wanted to show their loyalty, knowing that he Wei Zhongxian definitely didn't like Li Banghua, so they took advantage of this matter to make a big fuss.
However, Wei Zhongxian did not stop him, otherwise, these books would have been directly detained by him and would not have appeared here.
Because he also wanted to use this incident to test Banzai's reaction, after all, hundreds of people were killed and injured when he woke up, which is not a trivial matter, even if it was not caused by Li Banghua, but as the chief official, he could not escape the blame.
Even if Li Banghua is not punished, he should ask and beat a few words.
As long as this kind of thing is at the beginning, there will be opportunities to trouble Li Banghua in the future, because there are too many problems in Jingying, and no matter how powerful Li Banghua is, he can't take care of it.
Unexpectedly, Banzai didn't want to blame Li Banghua from the beginning, not only found a good reason for Li Banghua, but also directly scolded several officials, and even cut them down, so severely punished, it is rare.
Wei Zhongxian originally wanted to say something good for a few officials, but thinking of his conversation with Banzai last night, it didn't seem like a wise choice to touch Banzai's brows at this time.
So, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, long live." ”
Tianqi glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and said, "I know that there are many problems in Jingying, and it takes a lot of effort to rectify them, and it is really difficult for Li Banghua. ”
"The New Year is less than a month away, and the palace has begun to buy New Year's supplies, so I decided to reduce the expenses in the palace, and the province of the province will give 30,000 taels to Li Banghua."
"In addition, the household department allocated 170,000 taels, a total of 200,000 taels."
Wei Zhongxian's face changed, if you don't blame, you still have to allocate funds, this is too partial to Li Banghua.
So, he thought for a while and said, "Long live, the slave maid thinks that it is really inappropriate to reduce the amount of money in the palace. ”
"The amount in the palace is not large, if it is reduced by 30,000 taels, I am afraid that this year will not be good."
"Moreover, long live the dragon body to be healed, indicating that our Ming year's dragon rejuvenation year has begun, so the slave maid still wants to increase some expenses, and handle it carefully, praying for good weather in the future, long live the dragon body and good health."
Tianqi sighed and said: "Wei Daban has a heart, but if the Beijing camp can't be rectified smoothly, it won't be able to stop the captives." Jianyu ravaged Gyeonggi, where did Longxing come from? ”
"But long live, this year's food and salary allocated to Jingying is nearly 1.7 million stones, which has been fully paid, and if it is added at this time, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among other ministries."
"Moreover, in more than twenty days, it will be the eighth year of the Apocalypse, and there will be many places where money and food will be needed by then, but there is not much left in the household department."
Obviously, Wei Zhongxian is still a little reluctant and doesn't want to give Li Banghua extra support.
It's not that he doesn't want to rectify the Beijing camp, but he doesn't want to be rectified by Li Banghua, the Donglin Party that is not under his control, and if he makes meritorious service when the time comes, it will be even more difficult to deal with.
Tianqi knew Wei Zhongxian's thoughts, and he also knew that the amount of 1.7 million stones was not small, but he also knew that it would be good if half of these salaries were used on the head of Jingying.
The huge Jingshi, there are too many moths, and those who are a little powerful will stretch out their greedy hands to grab a handful.
Time waits for no one, maybe in a year and a half, Jianyu is coming, if you don't speed up, Jingying is a rabble, it can't play any role at all, you can only nest in the city.
And to speed up, you have to be willing to invest.
However, the six ministries and the cabinet are still in the hands of the eunuch party, and if Wei Zhongxian, the big leader of the eunuch party, does not let go, this matter is really difficult to do, because Wei Zhongxian's reasons are indeed very sufficient.
After all, the Beijing camp now has no combat mission, and if the reason is for the possibility of building a prisoner in a year or two, then shouldn't it be more important to increase investment in the nine sides? At that time, many people will have a reason to reach out to the court and ask for money.
Since normal means didn't work, Tianqi did the opposite, he sighed a little dejectedly, and said: "I have already told Taizu that my ability is not as good as that of Taizu, and I can't do this well. ”
"Moreover, the erosion of the Jingying is not a day or two, nor does it start from my hands, but Taizu has to force me to rectify the Jingying, and now it is so unsmooth at the beginning, and I am afraid that there will be more difficulties in the future."
"Since I recovered, my body has been fine, but my heart is so tired, I can no longer find the happiness of the past."
"What does this emperor mean? Wouldn't it be better for me to abdicate sooner or later and make way for Xian, and be the emperor who doesn't care about the world? ”
Although Tianqi was lamenting himself, he scared Wei Zhongxian on the side to tremble, how can you not be the emperor? If you are not the emperor, should you let the king of faith be?
King Xin became the emperor, so is there still a way for our family to live?
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, it is just that our family is threatened by Zhu Yuanzhang, and now we must always be vigilant against the threat of King Xin, a junior young man, and our family still wants to lament loudly.
The apocalypse picks the son and stops, and he can still be a leisurely emperor, but he Wei Zhongxian, there is no eunuch for him to be, once he picks the son, there will be a bunch of people who want to leave him behind.
Moreover, he himself is reluctant to have the supreme right.
Before, he was worried about the safety of the Apocalypse, so he took great pains to adjust the Apocalypse's body.
Now, he was worried that the apocalypse would be forced to let go, and he couldn't help but feel that the burden on his shoulders was heavier and his heart was more tired.
