Chapter 14 In the court, you and I are all silver coins

"Your Majesty, the minister has no opinion on this matter for the time being, but this Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting... The minister felt inappropriate. ”

Lin Yanchen leaned in front of the emperor, his eyebrows frowning slightly.

Hearing this, Changsun Yi became interested, and asked rhetorically: "Then what do you say is wrong?" ”

"The minister thinks that the drought in Linzhou is related to the livelihood of the people, although the imperial court allocated the silver two for disaster relief in time, but when the silver two were robbed, they ignored it, and even held a poetry meeting, which is afraid that as Zhang Xiang said, the people of Linzhou are cold."

Although Lin Yanchen didn't want to meddle in things, when he heard that the drought in Linzhou had appeared, he felt very uncomfortable.

As a soul who has traveled through the 21st century, he cannot let the lives of millions of innocent people go unchecked.

Especially under the premise that he has the ability to change all this, his conscience can't get by.

"Hmph, what do you know, your majesty doesn't want to solve the drought as soon as possible? But will the old gelding thief make His Majesty happy? ”

Huaiyu, who was holding the Qingxia Sword on the side, snorted coldly.

"Huaiyu, how many times have I said to keep your mouth shut, do you know that if you say more, you will lose?"

"Oh, my subordinates know." Huaiyu closed her mouth aggrievedly.

Eldest Sun Yi looked at Lin Yanchen again and sighed.

"Alas...... You have also seen it above the court, what I want to do now is almost everywhere blocked by people, why did I not want to control this group of black miasma in the court, but their collusion with each other has become the climate, and I can't completely dismiss them, right? ”

Lin Yanchen was puzzled, "Your Majesty, what does this have to do with what the minister asked?" ”

Changsun Yi shook his head helplessly.

"There are currently two obstacles to this crackdown on banditry, one is that there are no troops to be deployed, and the other is obstruction by the eunuch faction."

"Especially this military power, in addition to the ironclad army stationed on the frontier, I only have 120,000 palace forbidden troops in my hands, but they must always guard the safety of the palace, and they can't be transferred out of Kyoto, not to mention that Kyoto is far away from Linzhou, so it's really unwise to transfer troops this time."

"And the soldiers and horses of Linzhou are stationed at the junction of Yasukuni, and at this time of tension, it is even more impossible to disperse the slightest force to exterminate the bandits in Sanliang Mountain."

Lin Yanchen suddenly dispelled some doubts in his heart.

The bandits of Sanliang Mountain on the border of Linzhou took advantage of the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack mountain situation, and were extremely rampant in the local area, and the imperial court had sent troops to encircle and suppress them many times, but they all suffered heavy losses and returned in vain.

In addition, the persecution of this drought has caused many people to choose to go to the mountains to become bandits when they have no way out, which has enriched the power of bandits.

And Lin Yanchen even suspected that these bandits in Sanliang Mountain could be rampant until now, and there must be an official boss behind them, and it was very likely that it was Zhao Rui, an old eunuch.

In this way, if you want to recover the silver taels, you must need at least 80,000 soldiers and horses to have the confidence to break through the bandit village.

And the Linzhou border garrison is only 200,000, and it is certainly not possible to spare 80,000 to suppress bandits.

So there is nothing wrong with Wang Huaimin's decision.

"Then how to solve the bandit trouble in Sanliang Mountain, 1 million taels of silver can't just give up, right?" Lin Yanchen asked.

"Naturally I can't, I have thought about this for a long time, and in the end, I can only mobilize troops from Yangzhou, which is close to Linzhou, and I can attack Sanliang Mountain in one day."

Before Lin Yanchen could speak again, Changsun Yi continued to explain.

"One of the difficulties is the second point I want to say, Li Ming, the assassin of Yangzhou, who has the right to mobilize soldiers and horses, died of cold a while ago, and Su Youcai, who temporarily took the position of assassin history, is Zhao Rui's person."

When Lin Yanchen heard this, he was puzzled again.

"Your Majesty, in that case, why don't we find a way to find this position as soon as possible, but instead hold a poetry party?"

He didn't understand from beginning to end, what was the use of this eldest grandson Yi being so eager to hold a poetry meeting?

Could it be that it rained heavily with two poems?

is still like "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road", the upper nobles don't care about the life or death of the lower class at all.

"Definitely." Eldest Sun Yi paused and continued, "This poetry meeting is a dangerous move for me, if it doesn't work, in the end, I can only allocate a part of the border grain and grass to temporarily help the people. ”

"The minister is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty." Lin Yanchen still didn't understand, so he asked very honestly.

Eldest Sun Yi was not angry, chatted all the way while walking, and waved away the subordinates at the Heart Cultivation Palace, and motioned for Lin Yanchen and Huaiyu to sit down.

"I said, this poetry meeting is different from the past, and the talents of Zheng and Jing will also be here, so this is not as simple as a simple poetry meeting, but a mutual test between me and those two!"

Speaking of which, Changsun Yi's voice was not loud but loud, and it was very imposing.

"In addition to those in previous years, the colorful heads of the Mid-Autumn Poetry Club can also make a request to me, as long as it is reasonable, I can meet it, and those ministers have nothing to say. If you can win the championship and propose to temporarily replace the Yangzhou Thorn History for a few days, I will naturally agree. ”

Lin Yanchen suddenly became enlightened, so that's the case!

This is the same as the gold medal for avoiding death, the emperor's henchmen commit something on weekdays, if the emperor covers up, those ministers will definitely disagree, and they will carry out a bunch of moral kidnapping.

If there is a gold medal for avoiding death, then this emperor is not a cover-up, this is called a good emperor who keeps his promises and is tolerant and generous!

But if this henchman makes the emperor unhappy, you can't save your head with a hundred gold medals for avoiding death.

The final interpretation is still in the hands of the emperor, which is nothing more than to silence those ministers who have been morally kidnapped.

At any time, it is the emperor who says on the surface.

Lin Yanchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"This court political fight is really not something that ordinary people can play, a simple bandit can pull out so many twists and turns, and one by one's heart is too dark! It's all old silver coins! ”

He closed his eyes and concentrated slightly, and after sorting out what Changsun Yi said, he understood a lot.

First of all, the first purpose is to suppress the bandits, recover the silver taels, and provide relief to the victims of the drought in Linzhou.

Under the premise that the emperor had no real power, the only feasible plan in the end was to mobilize troops and horses from Yangzhou.

As for how to get a Yangzhou assassin who has the right to transfer troops, it is this Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting that won the championship!

During this period, they will definitely be blocked by Zhao Rui's eunuchs, and even Zheng and Jing will send top literati to promote their national strength.

But Lin Yanchen is not afraid at all, Lao Tzu has a previous life of 5,000 years in China, and he is still afraid of you rookies? Half of Li Taibai's beating, you don't dare to fight back!

"Lin Aiqing, don't think about it, drink those two bowls of soup first, specially ordered someone to boil the yang medicine for you, you have to treat the queen well tonight, don't let me down!"

Yes?

Lin Yanchen always feels a little weird, isn't this queen your wife? You don't have to ask for something like that.

"Poof-" Huaiyu couldn't help but spit out the soup in his mouth and Lin Yanchen's face.

She thought it was His Majesty's partiality just now, so she grabbed a bowl of Lin Yanchen in front of her and drank it, no wonder she felt hot after two sips, it turned out to be that kind of tonic......

In the face of exhaustion and smiling stiffly, the time came to night, and Lin Yanchen finished today's work.

No, it's not over yet, I have to work overtime tonight, and I'm lucky to be the queen!
