Chapter 18: The ...... Beggar bones
"This person is arrogant and rude, suspected of being a rebel in the army, send him to prison for me, and strictly investigate whether there are other officials behind this person!" After Zhou Ninghao entered the court hall with the guards in front of the palace, he immediately commanded the leader of the guards in front of the palace.
After listening to Zhou Ninghao's order, the guard in front of the palace was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes swept imperceptibly to Xin Cai, the son of the great Sima among the ministers.
After seeing Xin Cai's head bowed slightly, the leader of the guard team in front of the palace was ordered to take the previous household official down.
As for the household official who was taken away, he originally looked panicked and hesitant at first, but when he saw Xin Cai, the son of Da Sima, signaling his reassuring gesture, he suddenly became fearless again-although he was escorted out of the main hall by this palace guard, he always tried to hold his head high and tried his best to create an unyielding and heroic atmosphere!
For these "small actions" above the court, Zhou Ninghao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, could be said to have a full view.
Zhou Ninghao knew that if Xin Cai, the son of Da Sima Xindu, really wanted to protect this person, there would definitely be many followers above the court, unless he tried to see the dagger and break with Da Sima and the Xin family on the spot, otherwise, at this time, I am afraid that he really can't do anything to that small household official-but...... If you spare that household official like this, you will always have no idea after all!
If this is the case, then these officials will be in the court...... In particular, Xin Cai, the son of Da Sima, shifted his gaze slightly, thinking about it, if something happened that involved their vital interests, they should have no time to take care of the life of a small household official......
As soon as his mind moved, Zhou Ninghao already had a plan in his heart.
So, after the small official of the household department was taken away by the guards in front of the palace, Zhou Ninghao directly set his eyes on the body of the household book.
Lu Aiqing ...... Although the person just now was indeed a little arrogant and rude, there was a sentence in what he said that was not wrong, Lu Aiqing knew which sentence it was? Zhou Ninghao looked at the slightly thin Hubu Shangshu with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Ignorance! Hubu Shangshu bowed and saluted without any abnormality, "I still hope that Your Majesty will give you some advice!" ”
"The petty official just said that the treasury is empty enough to run horses...... What does Lu Aiqing think of this? Zhou Ninghao looked down at the courtier surnamed Lu slightly.
"Your Majesty, in recent years, natural disasters have continued, and the people have no ...... harvest."
Hubu Shangshu wanted to lay out the facts and reason with Zhou Ninghao, but before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Zhou Ninghao: "I don't care about these things - those things that have disasters or not, aren't they just talking nonsense with you?" In short, I only know that during your tenure, the treasury was empty and there was no way to make ends meet...... Why did Lu Aiqing teach me? ”
"During his tenure in office, the minister not only failed to replenish the treasury, but also caused the state to be unable to make ends meet...... Guilty, minister! Hubu Shangshu didn't think about it, he directly took off the official robe on his body, and then knelt down on the main hall, "Minister...... Beggar bones! ”
As soon as the words of the head of the household came out, suddenly, the court trembled.
Almost without thinking about it, Xin Cai, the son of Da Sima, took a step forward directly and said, "Absolutely not!" ”
Then, I saw Xin Cai quickly staring at Zhou Ninghao with gloomy eyes, and then quickly lowered his head to prevent Zhou Ninghao from discovering the chill in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, during the tenure of the head of the household, he worked hard and made great achievements, although the treasury was insufficient, but it was also because of the accumulated shortcomings left over from the previous generations of emperors, and it had nothing to do with Lord Lu, and even, it was precisely because of the management of Lord Lu that the country's finances could continue to operate normally!"
Xin Cai brazenly said good things for the head of the household,
"If you leave the Hubu Shangshu like this, who will Your Majesty take over his throne in the future?"
As soon as the attitude of Xin Cai, the son of Da Sima, came out, all of a sudden, everyone in the government and the opposition pleaded for Hubu Shangshu.
"Smack!"
Looking at the court hall that was as lively as a vegetable market in an instant, Zhou Ninghao couldn't help but pat the armrest of the dragon chair heavily.
For a moment, the ministers were silent.
"Lu Shangshu, although you are guilty, but over the years, you have been in charge of the household department, and you have no merit and hard work, and you are interceding for you ...... the ministers" Zhou Ninghao deliberately thought for a while, and then said as if he suddenly thought of something, "In this way, there is an extremely important matter right now, if you can solve it, I will not only forgive you for your innocence, but even, if you go further, it is not impossible to pay homage to the marquis in the future!" ”
"I don't know what?" Hubu Shangshu heard Zhou Ninghao's words, and asked out loud with some doubts.
"Just now that petty officer said that the soldiers brought out by Da Sima are about to be unable to eat and be unable to pay their salaries - I don't care if this person's words are accurate or not, in short, no matter what, I ask you to raise enough food and grass materials and soldiers' salaries to be transported to the front line in the near future, if they don't arrive by the time ......"
Zhou Ninghao stared coldly at this Hubu Shangshudao,
"I want to ...... You won't want to know what the consequences are! ”
"Oh, yes!" Then, Zhou Ninghao added again, "I don't want Lu Shangshu to collect the people's fat and ointment by increasing the taxes of the people, so that the officials force the people to rebel - if this happens, I will not tolerate it!" ”
"Your Majesty, if you don't increase the taxes of the people, how can there be money in the treasury?" Xin Cai, the son of Da Sima, once again showed his dissatisfaction, "Aren't you embarrassed Lord Lu?" ”
"If you can't do it, then it's better to abdicate as soon as possible to make way for Xian!" Zhou Ninghao sneered and glanced at Xin Cai and said, "I don't raise waste in the Great Zhou Dynasty!" ”
"Your Majesty!" At this time, the head of the household department knelt down in the tunnel again, "The ministers are shallow in their studies, and they know that they are difficult to take on the big responsibility, and Your Majesty is dictatorial, and he has a plan in his heart, so ...... The minister should abdicate and make way for Xian! ”
Tobe Shangshu's head slammed on the ground, and there was a sound of "knock" and "knock": "So, minister...... Beggar bones! ”
……
……
At the same time, the Great Sima Division, which was facing the "Old Third Army" in Quzhou and Shu and Yan, had already received the news that the commander of the "Old Third Army" had been assassinated and killed by the Great Sima Xindu.
Compared with the happy smiles of other uninformed people, Da Sima Xindu couldn't help frowning - did he send someone to assassinate Huang San'er, the military leader of the "Old Third Army", others don't know, don't you know?
"Huang San'er, that idiot, was finally forced by me to flee to the '100,000 Mountains', and I can also return to the dynasty and the capital to preside over the overall situation, but I don't want to...... What happened! Da Sima Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It seems that this battle with the 'old third army' cannot be avoided after all!" ”
