Volume 1 Chapter 637 The Death of King Thou

The second, third, and fourth-class new science and technology scholars have to wait for the imperial examination and the awarding of officials.

Therefore, as the top-notch of Sandingjia, he has completely entered the most casual time before his career.

Xu He was originally walking around the city of Beijing with great interest, and even Xu Song specially sent someone to follow him to Shanhaiguan.

However, when Xu He returned to Beijing, he felt uncomfortable when he was busy.

Recently, the imperial court was dealing with the mutiny in Datong Town.

Xu He learned from his uncle that the imperial court's treatment of Datong Town had exactly the same idea as himself.

Feng Puyu, the left guard of Datong, quickly suppressed the mutiny, and took out 400,000 taels of silver from the reward to the vassal king and sent it to Datong Town to appease the army.

In addition, the imperial court hurriedly sent messengers to other towns on the nine sides.

If there is another mutiny, the leader will be beheaded, and the leading generals will be dismissed, stripped of their hereditary military posts, and sent to prison for questioning.

Those who are unable to control the military situation will be dismissed and never used.

This order was sent to Jiubian, who was still waiting for Datong Town to eat meat, and they also followed other towns to drink soup, and they were suddenly shocked in their hearts, and they didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

The imperial court allocated another 800,000 taels of silver to the Jiangxi army.

On the one hand, it was to reward the soldiers of the Battle of Hefei, and on the other hand, it also gave the guards in Jiangxi to reissue the arrears of money that were owed at the beginning of spring this year.

The emperor did not send hungry soldiers, and at this time it was the time when the soldiers needed to use their lives, and no one dared to pick that bit of silver.

For the Haiphong battalion, there is more good news.

Qin Lie and Zhou Bi were awarded the hereditary title of deputy thousand households of Jinyi Wei, and the title of 100 households of Daozi, Xiao Er, and Thirteen and 11 cadres was awarded the title of Jinyi Wei of 100 households.

Compared with Qin Lie and Zhou Bi, although their hundred households are not hereditary, they can be regarded as entering the system and eating imperial grain.

Even Xu Dai, the titular officer of the coastal defense battalion, was able to enter the prison to study because of this incident.

This made Xu Dai very happy.

He was originally sorry because his son was not a student.

Who knows, pie fell from the sky, and he put on a name, and he actually made his son a prisoner.

Prisoner, that is equivalent to a Xiucai diploma, with this identity, although it can't change the reality that Xu Luan is a waste, but it can be regarded as having an identity.

In the future, even if he leaves, his son will not have to cower when he sees the county official!

However, while everyone is happy, they are also worried.

I don't know who spread it, saying that the silver sent to Jiubian was drawn from the vassal king's reward at Xu Song's suggestion.

Seeing that the vassal kings were about to send people to Beijing to pay tribute.

If they knew that their bonuses other than their annual salaries had been misappropriated, one can imagine how angry these feudal lords must have been.

"Although these people are all pigs in captivity, pigs can bite when they go berserk! Ge Lao, in this matter, you'd better think about countermeasures and save time to be passive! Xie Kun's expression was serious, obviously, this matter was also a tricky matter for him.

Xu Song was silent.

This kind of thing was originally his idea, if he quibbled, first, it was useless, and second, it made people feel that he was a dignified minister without the slightest responsibility.

But if this fire really burns on his head, it is really uncomfortable.

These vassal kings are all about relationships, and they can't influence civil officials or military generals.

But they are relatives of the emperor, and the three of them don't come to the palace to hand over a small word, even if Emperor Zhizheng knows that they are insatiable, but he doesn't care, what will the people of the world say about him as an emperor?

"The emperor is mean and unkind, and treats his relatives harshly!"

If there are really such rumors, then Xu Song can't be an official, so just make a resignation report and go home!

Xu Song's side has not yet come up with a way to deal with this matter, but the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

It turned out that Wuzong's compatriot brother, the current emperor's uncle, and King Ru, whose fief was in Weihui, first wrote to impeach the cabinet ministers for treating His Majesty's clan relatives poorly.

Originally, Emperor Zhizheng didn't take this matter to heart.

Recently, three or four vassal kings have been crying and desiring, saying that without the rewards of the imperial court, life is so difficult.

Although King Ru is different from these vassal kings, he is his own uncle, but after all, he is divided into feudal seals, and Emperor Zhizheng and this uncle, to put it bluntly, do not have much affection.

But soon, King Ru's mansion went to the court and said that King Ru was dead.

How did he die, it was certainly not starvation.

But no matter how he died, at this juncture, something happened to King Ru, but for Emperor Zhizheng, it was not a big trouble.

It's not impossible to ignore it and follow the rules.

But this uncle had just asked the emperor for money before, and scolded the cabinet minister Xu Song for encouraging Emperor Zheng to treat the royal relatives poorly.

Now it's not been two days, and this one is dying.

People outside who don't know why don't know how to spread it.

If you manage it, it's nothing more than a two-handed operation.

The first is to give money and make up for the dead.

The second is to deal with Xu Song and block the mouths of the vassal kings in various places.

Now that the news is out, Emperor Zhizheng has not yet made a decision.

But this matter has already made a fuss in the court.

"Cabinet minister Xu, everyone knows that the war requires silver, but you can't tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, the expenses on the court, how can you not reduce it, isn't it easy to scrape together hundreds of thousands of taels? Why should you trap Your Majesty in a situation of widowhood and meanness? ”

"This matter, first of all, we must block the mouths of the people in the world, for the sake of today, the only way to get rid of Xu Ge is old, Xu Ge's husband is loyal to the country, all for the court, it's a pity!"

"It's not proper, the imperial court is using troops, Xu Ge is familiar with military affairs, the cabinet is without him, who will coordinate the extermination of traitors in the south?"

"Yes, Xu Ge Lao is right, these vassal kings, those who eat the court, those who live in the court, three festivals and two longevity, when did they not make a lot of money, what? Now that the state wants silver, and if it embezzles some for the time being, it will punish the minister? Doesn't this chill the hearts of loyal ministers? Martyr's hand? ”

"You can't say that, under the world, who is gone, the sun still rises as usual the next day, what's wrong? Without Xu Song, this thief can't be suppressed? ”

"That is, Xu Song is not a loyal minister, isn't he? If he doesn't impeach himself at this time, where does this put the monarch's father? Where does this place the clansmen? Vassal King! That's the barrier of the country, which makes the vassal kings chill, is this world still called the world? Is this Da Wei still Da Wei? ”

……

Xufu.

Xu Song didn't expect that things would take a turn for the worse and develop to this point.

Originally, he planned to wait for the silver to be drawn out, and immediately let it go, saying that it was Shoufu's idea, so that the spearhead could be pointed at Qin Yan.

This chief assistant was in charge of the officials and households, and he also moved around a lot with the vassal kings.

Planted on him, the vassal kings will not make much of a fuss.

However, Qin Yan, the old fox, thought of going with Xu Song.

"Uncle, this incident is still because of me!" Xu He sighed.

Xu Song waved his hand and said, "It's happened, don't think about how it happened, let's think about how to solve it!" ”
