Chapter 203: Deliberations in the Palace
"Your Majesty, how can the army increase be established overnight, the five battalions of the Northern Army have been loosely managed for many years, and the eunuchs of the inner palace are not familiar with military affairs, so it is ridiculous to say anything about the eighth school of the West Garden!"
In the front hall of Jianzhang Palace, as soon as Liu Cang arrived in front of the palace, he heard He Jin's dissatisfied and disdainful voice coming from the hall.
Dodging, detouring, avoiding the main entrance of the front hall, Liu Cang leaned directly against the wall, slowly squatted down, raised his hand and beckoned to the guards in front of the hall on the side, the guards looked left and right, maintained an upright posture, and moved to Liu Cang.
"What's the matter?" Liu Cang asked the guards, it's just that these people don't go to the mountains to have fun, why did they go to Jianzhang Palace to discuss matters? Can't catch Liu Hong on weekdays?
"I don't know very well, it's fine just after I went in, as soon as the dried fruit and meat was served, there was a quarrel inside, it seems that Jian Changzhi proposed that His Majesty set up the Eighth School of the West Garden or something, and many adults spoke out against it."
The guard stood straight, looked ahead without squinting, and whispered to Liu Cang, who was squatting aside.
Liu Hong brought the courtiers who were not interested in hunting into the Jianzhang Palace, and depending on the situation, he wanted to use this not a formal occasion to test the courtiers' attitude towards the formation of the Xiyuan Southern Army?
He Jin is really open-mouthed, and he doesn't want to think about whether it is appropriate to use the word 'ridiculous' in front of Liu Hong, or is it so inflated that he can't even speak through his brain?
"The general is a little restless, now the place is restless, and there are rebel rebellions in Liangzhou, you also said that the frequent mobilization of the northern army will inevitably delay, and Jian Shuo said that it is necessary to train the new army." Liu Hong's voice came, and Liu Cang peeked at the door.
Sure enough, He Jin's words made Liu Hong unhappy, this should have been the link where Zhang Rang came out and started with He Jin, and Liu Hong directly started it himself.
Liu Cang was not in a hurry to enter the hall, and squatted directly at the door of the front hall, making the eyelids of the guards next to him jump with a quiet attitude.
It's none of his business, he just watches the garden, discussing national affairs inside, what is the excitement when he goes in?
"What Your Majesty said is true, and nothing else, now that the rebellion of Beigong Boyu is a top priority, we should give priority to this matter." Zhu Jun's voice came out, and Liu Cang rolled his eyes.
Is this old man a real lake or a pretending lake to be a lake, does Liu Hong want to discuss the Beigong Boyu rebellion? Pick up the topic.
"Your Majesty, a strong army is not a bad thing, but the formation of a new army inevitably involves military salaries and war preparations, and the needs of the eight battalions in the West Park are not trivial, but this military expenditure and armament need to be carefully calculated."
There was an unfamiliar voice in the hall again, and the topic seemed to be pulled back again, Liu Cang looked around, only to see Zhu Jun looking at a young man in his thirties with dissatisfaction.
Yuan Ji, Liu Cang suddenly, the new generation of the Yuan family in Runan carried the handle, but they had some eyesight, and Zhu Jun looked at Yuan Feng the next moment, the old man lowered his eyebrows and gave Zhu Jun a smile, seeing that Zhu Jun hummed angrily and stopped talking.
"Well, Shi Ji is thoughtful, the new army can no longer increase the burden of the Taiwei Mansion, I think that the Shaofu should bear the military salary, and choose a capable person to take charge of the army." Liu Hong said thoughtfully.
Liu Hong's words fell, the hall was quiet for a moment, He Jin's wide eyes brought out a little disbelief, and the apse was speechless, but it was quite noisy, and Liu Cang couldn't hear the specifics.
"Your Majesty, the military salary soldiers and ministers dare not say anything, but the war horses in the Weiyang stable have long been unable to make ends meet in recent years, and there are many vacant stables. Yuan Ji said again, Liu Cang couldn't squat anymore.
Horses? Liu Cang has counted several horses in Shanglin Yuan one by one in the past few months, and the few horses are pitiful, less than six thousand in total, and Liu Cang still left the horses in Shanglin Yuan a little bit, and survived Liu Hong's careful thoughts.
Yuan Ji is in the position of a servant, ranked in Jiuqing, in charge of Weiyang stables, in charge of the emperor's chariots and horses and horse administration, why will the Yuan family have more cavalry in the future? I'm afraid that this guy has given Runan Yuan's black war horses a lot, and it is not a good thing for him to target the horses in Shanglin Yuan.
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of deer hunting this year, there are many tigers and bears hunting wild horses in the mountains, and the number of wild horses in Shanglin Yuan has been greatly reduced, and more needs to be transferred back from the border land. Regardless of anything else, Liu Cang walked into the hall quickly, his footsteps did not stop, and he had already said loudly.
Liu Cang is tall and vigorous, and when he steps forward, the ministers in the palace can't help but look at Liu Cang with a straight face, and when everyone has different expressions, they see Liu Hong and a group of eunuchs who seem to faintly praise him.
Yuan Ji, Liu Cang didn't dare to mess around, fortunately, Liu Hong didn't have an elbow to turn out, looking at his expression, Liu Cang also knew that His Majesty was very strict with money.
Runan Yuan's cattle are not cattle? Doesn't it feel like some protégé is a little vain?
Actually, people have a lot of real things.
Let's not talk about the old one, just from the fact that Yuan Shu's second son entered the dynasty is the general of the tiger Benzhonglang.
What is Tiger Ben Zhonglang General? That is, the commander of the Tiger Cavalry, equivalent to the head of the Central Garrison Regiment in later generations, responsible for defending the Han Emperor.
Although now not to mention the Tiger Ride, even the Yulin Ride has been changed beyond recognition, but this level is not false at all.
And saying that Yuan Shu is the second son has little to do with Yuan Shao, because the old brother in front of him is the eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Ji.
Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's elder brother above their heads, this Yuan Ji is the head horse of the younger generation of the Yuan family in Runan, in front of Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are the second generation of the two flying eagle fighting dogs.
Many people in later generations felt that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were very good as monarchs, and when it came to them, their dishes were what they deserved. History has exaggerated these two people too much, but in fact, they are two goods.
The Yuan family in Runan has a big business, and before the Yuan family was wiped out by Dong Zhuo, these two belong to young masters who eat and drink well, and don't have so many crooked minds and better young masters.
Liu Cang can scare Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and it's no problem to beat them, at best, even if it is the absurdity of young people.
But this Yuan Ji and Liu Cang can't be scared, they don't dare to mess with him if they don't look at Zhu Jun, this guy is the face of the Yuan family in Runan, and messing around is equivalent to slapping the Yuan family in the face, and the ghost knows how big a mess it can be.
"Huh? I had been strictly guarding against the beast plague earlier, how did you assure me? How can the horses still be damaged? Liu Hong's reprimand came, but his face was calm.
"Your Majesty, in order to protect the wildness of the horses, the horses in the forest are not necessarily untamed, and the bears and wolves are better to take precautions, but the tigers and leopards are often wandering for hundreds of miles, and it is really difficult to take care of them."
"The Shanglin Tun soldiers already lacked war horses, and they still had to lose the general's allocation of 500 war horses to maneuver in the early days, and the ministers were not strictly governed, so I asked Your Majesty to punish them."
Liu Cang lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, looked at He Jin with a cold face, and looked at Yuan Ji who was playful at the corner of his mouth, and smiled? Laugh at the fart, our war horses still ask the general for it, there are tens of thousands of war horses in the border areas, you want a horse in the Weiyang stable, and you want to go to the general.
"Hmm.
。 You can't blame you. Liu Hong pondered and spoke out for a moment. Without further ado, it was as if the matter of the horses had already been revealed.
Seeing the interaction between Liu Cang and Liu Hong, many old ministers in the hall had strange expressions.
Among the people, He Jin's eyes when he looked at Liu Cang were somewhat complicated, disdainful, probing, and preventing, and it was difficult to distinguish the specifics.
To say that He Jin really doesn't have the slightest intention of harming Shanglin Yuan, Shanglin Yuan is the private land of the royal family, and it is also the private land of his future emperor's nephew, his own things, he only goes to trouble when he is stupid.
Liu Cang's efforts to rectify Shanglin Yuan, He Jin will not make trouble for him in this regard. And her own queen sister said that this kid has the courage to be unstoppable and wants to take it for his own use?
Made, your brother and I have been pinched by this kid, can you not know this kid?
But even if this kid is on the side of his nephew, he is also the son-in-law of Zhang Rang's family after all.
His own sister has the intention to pull outsiders to check and balance him, and He Jin can still understand this. In this regard, he is not good at fighting with He Lian.
If you want to say that Liu Cang is young, he must have an identity, he must be brave and courageous, and his foundation is clean, and he is indeed a first-class candidate to be a helper.
But this kid is a lot of rebelliousness, well, but he seems to be pretty good to his family.
He Jin's attitude towards Liu Cang is very ambivalent now, and he wants to kill him, but after hearing that he is standing on his nephew's side, he can't help but fantasize about the scene of Liu Cang guarding him.
Tsk, look at this tall boy, if he is allowed to hold a halberd to the side, he will feel majestic and comfortable when he thinks about it.
wants to slap Liu Cang to death, and hopes to subdue Liu Cang.
Under all kinds of contradictions, He Jin was annoyed when he saw Liu Cang, but he thought about it from time to time, didn't Liu Cang marry a niece from Zhang Rang? What if he was allowed to marry another Ho girl?
But if it can't be wooed, won't it be even more shameless? But it is too heavy and may cause the queen to be unhappy.
He Jin's indecisive personality is now reflected in Liu Cang.
"Your Majesty, the non-old minister wants to sweep away the pleasure of the public safari. However, the war in Liangzhou was unfavorable, and after Hu Li Wenhou and Song Yang, who proclaimed himself king, Han Sui and Bian Zhang had rebelled, and Zhang Wen was unfavorable in the war. ”
Liu Cang's side was still glad that he was guarding the horses in Shanglin Yuan, and Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi both stood up.
The two of them did not cause Liu Hong to be dissatisfied, and following Liu Hong's gaze, everyone in the hall looked at Liu Cang again.
Seeing Liu Hong's judgmental eyes, Liu Cang understood Liu Hong's intention to ask him to come here, glanced around, Liu Cang raised his eyebrows and pouted his teeth, and finally looked at Liu Hong.
This pot, don't you go back?
