Chapter 295: Jianwen Three Treasures! That's a great plan!

After being stunned,

It's endless anger!

Zhu Yunwen stared at Fang Xiaoru with anger on his face.

If Fang Xiaoru wasn't the emperor, he really wanted to kick it over!

What a bastard!

Canonized Zhu Gaochi as the King of Yan, what kind of trick is this?

Isn't this clearly telling the world that he Zhu Yunwen is soft?

The emperor also wants to be faced, not to mention that Zhu Yunwen is at the time of the spring breeze!

It's like he, Zhu Yunwen, was happily waiting for a victory at the front line, but he was suddenly slapped in the face, and now Fang Xiaoru slapped him in the face again!

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor's face was ugly, Fang Xiaoru immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "The emperor is angry, this plan is not really going to be implemented!"

"The purpose of this anti-plot is to drive a discord between Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi's father and son!"

Huang Zicheng on the side was unwilling to be lonely, and added in a timely manner: "What Lord Fang said is extremely true, the minister heard that the traitor Zhu Di preferred his second son Zhu Gaoxu and third son Zhu Gaosui, and often took them to participate in the battle, but he was quite displeased with the eldest son Zhu Gaochi!"

"There is already a contradiction between the father and son, at this moment Beiping City is under the control of Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Di has not yet returned, if he is allowed to be the king of Yan, strive for Zhu Gaochi to return to the imperial court, and defend Beiping for the imperial court to reject his father, then the traitor Zhu Di will definitely die!"

Seeing this, Qi Tai's heart moved, and he also said: "Your Majesty, this plan is very good, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will be beneficial to the imperial court."

"If this plan succeeds, Zhu Gaochi is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and stick to Beiping for the court to reject his father, then the traitor Zhu Di will not only be ruined, but also become a lost dog, and the king of the court can be broken!"

"If this plan fails, Zhu Gaochi will continue to stick to Beiping, but Zhu Di will be suspicious of him, and he will be suspicious, and this time is enough for the imperial court to conquer Beiping City!"

Qi Huangfang, the three treasures of Jianwen, spoke one after another, and they all admired this plan very much.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but feel a little moved, and his previous anger disappeared in an instant.

Hearing them say that, it seems like a clever plan.

Whether it succeeds or fails, it is beneficial to the royal court!

"In that case, let's do what you want!"

"Send an order to Li Jinglong first, and let him immediately publicize this matter!"

"I will personally write a letter to Zhu Gaochi and send an envoy to Beiping, the bigger the momentum, the better!"

Recalling the friendship with Zhu Gaochi when he was a child, Zhu Yunwen still has a sense of compassion.

He hoped that this cousin would be able to be interesting, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and return to the arms of the imperial court.

After all, Zhu Di doesn't like his son, it can be said that the world knows it, so this plan is indeed somewhat feasible!

Instead of rebelling desperately with your father who doesn't like you, it is better to return to the arms of the court, and I will reward you with the title of King Yan, why not?

Cousin, cousin, you have always been old and serious, you should know the general trend of the world!

Qi Huangfang and the three of them glanced at each other tacitly, and then complimented in unison: "Shengming has no fault with Your Majesty!"

In this way, Li Jinglong's unfavorable conquest and hesitation were fooled by the three of them.

After all, Li Jinglong became the commander of the Southern Army, and the three of them were inseparable!

If His Majesty the Emperor really investigates it, the honeymoon period that he finally came back will be gone soon!

Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed, and then said: "When it comes to grain and grass, do the three Aiqing have a good plan?"

As soon as they heard this, Qi and Huang Fang were silent.

The reason is simple, there is no money and food in the treasury.

Emperor Taizu Gao loved the people like a son all his life, so the tax was very low, except for the heavy places such as Jiangnan, the rest of the provinces were all thirty taxes and one, but they were basically able to maintain the normal operation of the imperial court.

What's more, during the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu Gao also carried out a total of thirteen Northern Expeditions, almost emptying the entire treasury!

After Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, in order to show his love for the people, he reduced the arrears of taxes in the local state capital in one go, and reduced the taxes in the land of Jiangnan.

In fact, according to the normal situation, there is nothing wrong with this, the big deal is that the Jianwen court lived a little poor in the first few years, and it was a little stretched, and there was no big problem.

For them, dignitaries, it doesn't have the slightest impact, they should eat and drink, then play music and dance, it's their business!

However, no one thought that Zhu Di, the king of Yan, would dare to really rebel!

In order to quell the rebellion, the imperial court first asked Geng Bingwen to levy and transfer 130,000 troops, which consumed a wave of grain and grass.

As a result, the 130,000 army was actually hung up and beaten by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, not to mention the results, before they arrived in Beiping, they suffered defeats one after another, and they were beaten back and didn't dare to go out of the city!

And Geng Bingwen's dog thing still implements some iron bucket tactics, and it took months to spend it!

The amount of grain and grass consumed by these 130,000 troops every day is an astronomical amount, let alone several months!

The little money that Emperor Taizu Gao left to Emperor Jianwen was basically exhausted.

Then Li Jinglong led an army of 500,000 to the expedition, which was huge and earth-shattering.

But behind this, it is the tax revenue of the imperial court for the whole year this year, all of which have been smashed into it, so I hope that Li Jinglong can make a quick decision, go straight to Huanglong to conquer Beiping City in one fell swoop, and then exterminate the rebel Zhu Di, preferably in one or two months.

How can Cheng think, this Li Jinglong is also a waste!

It took more than a month to fight in Beiping, and counting the time spent on the march, it took four months for the imperial court to go on the expedition, almost five months!

The 500,000 army, coupled with the young and strong people who transported the grain and grass, the money and grain spent every day were enough to make people feel hopeless!

Qi and Huangfang didn't dare to speak, let alone say anything.

Because now there is really no way to solve the problem of money and food!

Unless...... Increase taxes, or collect the arrears of taxes from local governments!

But the three of them all knew that their majesty the emperor cared most about face.

After ascending the throne, he just reduced the arrears of taxes and lowered the taxes in Jiangnan, but how long has it been since he broke his promise?

If they dared to make such a suggestion, His Majesty the Emperor would be furious.

So the three of them chose to remain silent, unwilling to touch this moldy head.

Seeing that the three henchmen chose to be silent, Zhu Yunwen was also a little helpless, and waved his hand impatiently.

"Forget it, let's discuss this matter tomorrow morning!"

"The three Aiqing also have to go down and think about it, but what a good plan!"

Qi Tai opened his mouth several times, wanting to say something, but was severely stopped by Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru with their eyes.

It wasn't until he withdrew from the Qianqing Palace that Qi Tai looked at Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru with a little dissatisfaction.

"Two, why don't you let the old man speak?"

"Now, what else can be done besides chasing taxes?"

As the secretary of the military department, he delivered grain and grass to the front line, which was Qi Tai's responsibility.

You can't really let the soldiers go into battle hungry to kill the enemy and fight hard, right?

Huang Zicheng sighed and said, "Lord Qi, anyone can mention this suggestion, but you and I must not mention it!"

Fang Xiaoru nodded thoughtfully.

"You can't get involved in this matter!"

Qi Tai looked at the two of them in a daze, not understanding why they had become like this!

When Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, the three of them became the upstarts of the court, and jointly formulated the national policy of cutting the feudal domain.

At that time, Qi Tai thought that he had met like-minded friends, so he had a good personal relationship with the two.

But how long has it been, and the two have become what they are now.

Could it be that they were really wrong about cutting the feudal domain?

Qi Tai sighed and turned straight away.
