Chapter 317: Swallowing the Sky
The emperor glanced down, and the evil fire jumped to the ribs again, and a heart boomed, his head was dizzy, and his face turned white in an instant.
Zhang Xianfeng saw that the emperor seemed to be unable to go up and down in one breath, and his nervous palms were sweaty, ready to step forward to support the emperor at any time.
The emperor slowly stabilized his mind, exhaled a breath of turbidity, reached out and grabbed a handful of grain, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, the palm of his hand was full of colors, the rice was red and black, and some were already indistinguishable what they were, and there was a damp chaff, mixed with sand.
He took a few breaths, picked up the small bag of grain, and slammed it down with all his might.
The contents of the bag fell to the ground in a chaotic manner, and rolled to the feet of the civil and military officials, the red was the same color as the red robes on their bodies, and the black was the same color as the black gauze hats on their heads, and it hit their backbones with great precision.
In the eyes of the crowd, maggots emerged from the chaff, crawling on the supreme golden temple, and it was filth and filth that could not be hidden even by the splendor of gold.
Wu Hongzhe, the privy envoy, no longer pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Lisuo went out of class and knelt down on the rice grain: "Your Majesty, the minister is not supervising effectively, and the minister is guilty!"
He knelt down, and the chief and deputy envoys of the third division did not hesitate to go out of class and kneel.
Those who did not kneel bowed their heads in silence—a silence that seemed familiar, as if they had been silent a few days ago under the questioning of their colleagues and the wrath of His Majesty.
But the silence of that day was to watch from the wall, and today's silence is a great disaster.
Mo Lingfeng took out a neatly folded piece of cloth from his left sleeve pocket: "Your Majesty, this is the winter coat sent to the fortress by the North and South Workshops."
Wu Hongzhe raised his head and looked sideways at the so-called winter coat in Mo Lingfeng's hand, and before he could see it clearly, Zhang Xianfeng had already hurried over and presented the things to the emperor.
This is a piece cut from the winter coat, and the emperor rubs his fingers twice on the cloth to know that this thing cannot keep out the cold.
It is not a thick silk that should be used for winter clothes, there is no interlayer, the warp and weft are sparse, and when you lift it up and put it in a bright place, the light shines through countless small holes.
The emperor smelled the musty smell on the cloth, which was strong and pungent, diluting the aroma of the smoke in the hall, and he almost wanted to gag and threw the cloth into Zhang Feng's hands.
The thousands of holes on the cloth are the holes of the dynasty.
At the same time, he knew that Mo Lingfeng had been waiting for this moment.
She is not Wu Jin, her purpose is not to avenge the soldiers, she doesn't want to be clear in the court, what do you want at this moment?
He muttered, "Let them all look at their winter coats."
Zhang Xianfeng hurriedly asked the little chamberlain to take it down and handed it to everyone to watch.
So three more people went out of class and knelt on the ground to confess their guilt.
Mo Lingfeng bent down and picked up the wat board on the ground and held it in his hand: "Your Majesty, since the minister entered the fortress to join the army, the grain and military supplies, it was a year after a year, and the minister thought that the country was in difficulty, and the family wealth was used as capital over the years.
But when the minister entered Kyoto, he saw his colleague Qiu Ma light fat, his clan relatives piled up gold and jade, and the city was full of luxury, which was unexpected by the minister.
Now His Majesty's grace is as deep as the sea, and the minister should be ashamed to accept it, but the silverfish have eaten the laurel wood deeply, the national funds can not raise heavy soldiers, the roots of Mount Tai are shaking, the minister's wealth has been empty, and he is unable to support it, if His Majesty can not support it, the minister does not dare to put the male soldiers.
The minister asks His Majesty to allow the ambassador of Kuanzhou Jiedu to manage and dispatch the tax revenue of Kuanzhou for military use, and the minister's brother has left the soul of the body, which cannot be used by the imperial court, and the minister can dismiss the official on his behalf, and His Majesty can appoint the clan relatives as the envoy of Kuanzhou Jiedu, lead the troops to resist the enemy, and the enemy will return it if he retreats, and soon the town will pay back the tax to the court."
She hung her head, curled the corners of her mouth, and smiled silently.
The emperor had no choice.
Now the Kuanju garrison has all entered the fortress, and most of the soldiers and horses in Jeju are also led by Tan Xuan to defend against the enemy in the fortress.
Even if he wants to abandon the fortress and defend Kuanzhou like last time, where will he mobilize the garrison for a while?
There are Hulu in the north, and they should not be moved lightly, but the south is too far away, and the garrison has not yet arrived, and Kuanzhou may have been lost.
There are several generals who lead the army in the forbidden army, but the forbidden army only guards the safety of the forbidden army, and the border pass is extremely turbulent when the first emperor is in turmoil, and the forbidden army kneels down to ask for help from Beijing, but the first emperor has not allowed it.
The voice fell
Down, the Manchu Dynasty was surprised.
King Wei quietly glanced at Mo Lingfeng - she really asked the emperor for real power, wealth and army.
At that time, the Mo family will be powerful, and it will be easy to support him to ascend to the throne.
He didn't think about how to eliminate the Mo family's forces in the future, he just wanted to break through the predicament in front of him, he couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt like a man on his back, and when he looked up, he saw that the prince was staring at him with fierce eyes.
He secretly screamed and made a sad face.
The prince looked back silently and also looked at Mo Lingfeng.
At a young age, step by step, the calculation is so far.
Once Mo Lingfeng has troops and controls the authority of the border passes, it will be difficult to control it.
Mo Lingfeng must not be allowed to grow again, otherwise it will become a big problem.
This world is not the world of the Mo family, this court, nor the court of the Mo family, how can it be controlled by her.
Mo Lingfeng stood with his wat in his hand, his vermilion sleeves were no longer burdensome, and with the cold wind that sneaked into the hall swayed, the burning coals in the hall were swallowed by the cold wind, showing a weakness that could not be supported.
She is the quietest person in the center of this hall, the blood flowing from the hundreds of limbs and corpses is cold and ruthless, and the gold bricks under her feet are also the blood road paved for her by Mo Qianlan, the corpses of the innocent lie down openly, her own blood, the blood of the soldiers, together with the watering of this road.
and Wu Jin's blood.
The grain, grass, and cloth that could still shake the court became embellishments, and the courtiers really saw the power of this Xiao Mo.
They quietly waited for the emperor to speak.
The emperor has never been silent for so long on the golden platform.
He didn't dare to abandon the fortress and defend Kuanzhou like the last time - he didn't expect that the garrison of the dynasty had become so weak that he couldn't even resist a thousand gold captives, let alone defend the city.
He looked at Mo Lingfeng as if he saw a beast stretching out its claws, chasing after it to tear off a piece of flesh from its prey, open its huge mouth, and swallow it into its stomach.
Is it to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, or to abandon the ban and let the forbidden army fight?
At this time, Lu Zhongnong suddenly came out of the queue and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what General Mo said, absolutely not, the national treasury is like the safety of Mount Tai, and it must not be moved lightly!" In the previous dynasties, there was an example of the Temperance Envoy to take wealth and power, hoard huge military expenses, and accumulate soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the grace of heaven, but only knew that they relied on the generals, and they were so authoritarian that they were so heavy on the outside and light on the inside, that was why the Virtue Temperance Envoy uttered wild words."
This man once said, 'The Son of Heaven would rather have a kind of yes?' The soldiers and horses are strong, and it is inconvenient for Lu Zhongnong to say it in the main hall, so he can only point to it.
The Emperor nodded, "What do you think?"
Lu Zhongnong said: "The minister thought that he could send the forbidden army, and went to Gaoping Village with the army to carry grain and grass to completely exterminate the Jin Yu."
Wu Hongzhe still knelt on the ground, straightened his back, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the safety of the forbidden army is also the weight of Mount Tai, and the forbidden army must not be used lightly!" The ministers thought that peace could be negotiated, that the turmoil of the national treasury could be avoided, and that the power could be held in moderation."
A young and vigorous official of the Hanlin Academy came out: "After the war, the morale of the Jin Yu has declined, and now it is only a small group of harassment, not to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but to ask for peace? All the hard work of the past will be ruined!"
Wu Hongzhe said: "Let Jin Yu be a minister and pay tribute every year, how can it be considered ruined?"
