Chapter 5: Pampering and Pride
There are pros and cons to disaster relief.
Just taking the silver to do things, of course, is abundant in oil and water, but if that happens, this fat difference will definitely fall into the hands of Jiang Yong's people again.
Of course, Zhao Zheng would not do that.
Ask Jiang Yong first, just don't give him this opportunity.
Since Jiang Yong said that there was no money in the treasury, and the head of the household also confirmed this, then the emperor could not take out this money.
Without money, disaster relief is an impossible chore.
This drudgery, of course, should be the only truly honest and loyal ministers in the court willing to take over.
Zhao Zheng needs people, and he needs to support his own forces to stand up and fight against Jiang Yong's people, and this disaster relief is the best opportunity.
But I don't know if this Yu Jin has the courage to take it, and whether he has the ability to do this impossible thing.
"Minister, there is a way."
Pick it up!
Zhao Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately asked: "Oh, okay, get up, you say, what can you do?" ”
Yu Jin took a deep breath, stood up and said: "The minister thinks that the southwest state capital is rich, although it encounters floods, it still has the spare strength to deal with it, and there is a lack of unified scheduling. ”
Nodding slightly, Zhao Zheng said: "A little reasonable, Jiang Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
Jiang Yong heard the words and said: "The minister thinks that what Lord Yu plays is feasible. ”
"Well, according to what Yu Jin said, which of you would like to receive the order to go to the Southwest Mansion for disaster relief?"
What Zhao Zheng is waiting for is Jiang Yong's words, just give a holy decree, and don't give anything else, he wants people to go to disaster relief, which wronged boss is willing to do this kind of thing?
After waiting for a long time, sure enough, no one was willing to talk, Zhao Zheng was even happier when he saw this, but he deliberately showed an angry look on his face.
"I ask again, which of you is willing to receive the order to go to the southwest state capital for disaster relief, why, are you dumb?"
"Minister, I am willing to go."
Yu Jin, who was standing in the hall, suddenly spoke.
Seeing this, a glimmer of essence flashed in Zhao Zheng's eyes, it seemed that this Yu Jin was even better than he imagined.
So he immediately said: "Okay, Yu Jin, don't blame me for not reminding you, I give you a month, within this month, you can receive my will, govern the southwest state capitals for disaster relief, if there is a disobedient, you can cut it first, and then play, the matter will be done, I promise you a reward, if not, come to see you." ”
"Minister, Commander."
Yu Jin knelt down and kowtowed to receive the order.
Jiang Yong, the head of the hundred officials, flickered his eyes, and looked deeply at Yu Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, and seemed to think of something in his heart.
Suddenly, he spoke again: "Your Majesty, the minister has another matter, please play." ”
"Jiang Aiqing, please speak."
"Last night, a report came from the north that the Tatar tribes of the border barbarians were transferred, intending to threaten our border, and the northern Tianque Pass guard will ask the imperial court to send reinforcements."
North, barbarian Tatar tribes.
In my memory, this barbarian tribe did often intrude on the border, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
But in general, it is a group of bandits, and it is rare that they are able to form a large army and form a real threat to the border.
And the barbarians will only invade until winter, but winter is still months away.
It seems that it is still impossible for this Jiang Yong to give up the seizure of military power, and it is false to send troops to reinforce Tianque Pass, I am afraid that the soldiers of the capital are true.
The thoughts in his mind were electrified, and Zhao Zheng immediately said: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, Tatar bandits, don't worry, this matter will be discussed after the flood in the southwest state capital, there are still important things, and if not, you will retreat." ”
Jiang Yong's eyes flickered, and no one knew what was going on in his mind at the moment.
When the rest of the court officials saw that he didn't speak, they naturally didn't follow.
Seeing this, Zhao Zheng took the opportunity to announce his retirement from the dynasty and left the Xihe Hall directly.
After retiring from the dynasty, outside the Xihe Palace.
Several powerful ministers surrounded Jiang Yong.
"Lord Jiang, why did Your Majesty start to care about the flood in its southwest state capital today, and let Yu Jin go to the disaster relief, what should I do next?"
"Yes, Lord Jiang, if Yu Jin goes to the Southwest Prefecture Capital, then we ......"
Jiang Yong's face was expressionless, and he said coldly when he heard the words: "Shut up for me, Your Majesty, since you let Lord Yu go, then we should naturally cooperate, Lord Yu only has one month, and the time is very tight." ”
Hearing this, these important ministers immediately showed a look of understanding on their faces, and they left one after another.
Jiang Yong was left alone to stand in front of the Xihe Palace, and glanced back at the direction of the deep palace with deep eyes.
"What the hell are you thinking?"
muttered in a low voice, he suddenly raised his hand and beckoned, and the little eunuch who was guarding outside the Xihe Hall immediately greeted him when he saw this.
"Bring a message to Concubine Jiang, and say that the official asked her to serve Your Majesty well."
"Yes."
Coming out of Xihe Palace, Zhao Zheng returned all the way back to the imperial study, and he was in a good mood.
This early dynasty, what he wants to see and what he wants to do has basically achieved his goal, and the next actions will be much smoother.
As long as Xiao Ponu's army arrives outside the capital, it can start a full-scale operation.
Han Jie checked there all night, and he should have gained something, and he was about to call someone to announce that Han Jie was coming, but at this moment, the eunuch outside the imperial study reported that Jiang Yuyan was here.
Frowning, Zhao Zheng subconsciously murmured: "What is she doing here?" ”
Before he could agree, he saw Jiang Yuyan leading a group of palace people directly into the imperial study from the outside.
"Your Majesty, you said that you came to find the concubine today, and the concubine was looking at Weiyang Palace, but she didn't see your majesty."
The imperial study is the former important place of the palace, Jiang Yuyan is a harem concubine, and she dares to break in directly without waiting for Zhao Zhengxuan to announce her, which is really bold.
Zhao Zheng's mind turned around, but his face was silent, and he smiled and said, "Let Concubine Ai wait, come over quickly, come to my arms." ”
As he spoke, he directly pulled Jiang Yuyan into his arms and put his hands up and down.
Jiang Yuyan writhed and dodged on Zhao Zheng's body, smiling coquettishly, but her eyes fell on the imperial case.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
"What else can it be, that group of incompetent wastes on the table, either looking for me to ask for money, or reporting where there are bandits, where the border is in an emergency, hum, the little things that are big enough to deal with can't be handled, you know to come to me!"
Jiang Yuyan's eyes flashed when she heard this, and then she stretched out her hand and touched Zhao Zhengdao charmingly: "Your Majesty is angry, where do those people know to share your worries for Your Majesty, and only the concubines, thinking about Your Majesty wholeheartedly, aren't they just some songs, let the concubines come to relieve Your Majesty's worries." ”
Zhao Zheng snorted coldly in his heart, Jiang Yuyan was so pampered and arrogant that he dared to try to review the recital for him.
However, on the surface, she was silent, dragged Jiang Yuyan with both hands, and directly lifted her to her lap and put it down.
"Then Concubine Ai should share my worries well."
"Ah, Your Majesty, don't, the concubine can't hold the pen steadily......"
