The matter has basically been discussed, and it is time to retire - Yan Shizhao also meant this, he glanced at Ni Wenhuan beside him, and was about to say his goodbye.

However, before the words could be spoken, Yan Shizhao heard a voice next to him:

"Your Majesty......"

His movements suddenly stopped, intending to hear what Ni Wenhuan had to say.

At this time, Ni Wenhuan on the side, although there was hesitation and entanglement on his face, he still asked:

"Your Majesty...... Can this matter be discussed with the Cabinet? After all, if the cabinet does not agree, I am afraid that this matter will not be possible......"

After all, the cabinet has the power to return the seal, if the emperor didn't consult with those cabinet elders, even if he did? When the time comes, he even offended a few elders for nothing.

When Zhu Changxun heard this question, the smile on his face stiffened, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile:

"I haven't told the cabinet yet, but if I think about it, my master will agree with me."

"His lifelong dream is nothing more than to create a prosperous world...... Only when there is both civil and military can it be called a prosperous age! ”

"Go quickly."

……

Li Ruhua, the head of the household department, returned to his territory, the household department.

As soon as he returned, he immediately summoned his subordinates, handed him a stack of papers in his hand, and instructed:

"This is a matter related to the project that is about to be implemented in the Northland, you go to a few people, calculate the materials, money, grain and grass needed, etc., and there must be no mistake."

The official stretched out his hand, took the paper, looked at it a few times, and suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face.

Li Ruhua keenly noticed this, he raised his head and asked suspiciously:

"What's wrong?"

The officer scratched his head in confusion and said:

"My lord, renovating water conservancy in the north of the Ming Dynasty is a big project, and it costs a lot!"

"Yes." Li Ruhua was a little impatient, he had just discussed with Yan Chenhao and others for a long time, he was already very old, and now he was even more tired, he didn't expect his subordinates to use such things to annoy themselves, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said:

"It's expensive, don't I know? It's just that this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and although the treasury may be a little empty, it is still within the scope of bearing, and it will recover quickly in the coming year...... Forget it, just do it! ”

However, instead of answering the call, the official stayed where he was, and continued:

"My lord, that is...... This water conservancy project alone can wipe out the national treasury, and if you add the troops to the north, the reserves in the national treasury alone are not enough...... Is it going to be a tax hike again? ”

"What are you sending troops to the Northland, what are you talking nonsense?" Li Ruhua was stunned and said, he even thought that he had auditory hallucinations, when did this happen? Are we in the same Ming?

However, the surprise on the officer's face was no worse than his:

"You don't know? His Majesty's will, which Ni Shilang brought back, requires us to calculate the amount of grain, grass and silver needed for the expedition to the Northland, and also requires us to begin counting and making preparations. ”

"What!" Li Ruhua bounced up from his seat like springs under his legs, grabbed the official's sleeve, and asked:

"What will? How I didn't know! ”

The official was startled by the old man, stammered, and recounted the matter.

And Li Ruhua, who learned about the incident, immediately found Ni Wenhuan.

At this time, he had already gathered a group of household officials and began to calculate the money and food needed for the northern expedition. Li Ruhua pulled out Ni Wenhuan from it, and asked anxiously:

"What the hell is going on with sending troops to the Northland, why haven't I learned the news, tell me quickly!"

Of course he was in a hurry, because according to the official, it was the emperor's order, but this ...... The result of the discussion just now is contrary to what they just discussed!

Originally, according to this plan, he could even see the dawn of the prosperity of agriculture in the northern land of the Ming Dynasty and the incomparably strong dynasty, but if he sent troops now...... Not to mention anything else, the expedition to the grassland, which costs an unknown amount of money, will no longer be possible for this day-big project to benefit the people!

So at this moment, he is extremely eager.

Ni Wenhuan will not resist his superiors and explain things and dishes.

"My lord, I don't know why His Majesty asked me to go instead of you...... These are also His Majesty's will, and I just do it. He said with an innocent look on his face.

Li Ruhua was a little stunned, the overall situation of the foreign dynasty in recent years has basically been controlled by the cabinet, and Yan Chenhao has self-determination, only a few particularly important things will be asked for additional instructions to the emperor, and the rest are basically the cabinet in the fold of the red and then submitted to the inside, and the emperor is in agreement with the cabinet's approval, naturally there is no need to find someone to discuss by himself, resulting in such a wave, he almost forgot that the emperor still has the practice of finding someone to "hold a small meeting".

The problem is that the current treasury simply cannot satisfy these two orders, and one of them must be vetoed, so which one will be vetoed? Needless to say, no matter how Li Ruhua looks at it, he thinks that their plan is more reasonable.

After all, the various departments of Warat are still fighting to the death, and there is no sign of unification, even if there is really a tribe that is lucky enough to have a male master, it will not be able to complete the unification in ten years, and the first of the year is also a full three generations, and it took decades of hard work to achieve the unification of the grassland, Zhu Changxun's idea is good, but it is too subjective.

However, if he directly vetoes the return, the emperor's face will not look good, and it will add a little bit of turbulence at that time, so someone will definitely need to tell the emperor about the cause and effect to win his approval - as an old man who has been an official in the court since the Wanli Dynasty, he knows all too well.

He hurried to the cabinet, ready to find this man.

On the other side, Ni Wenhuan was full of bitterness.

He now basically understood why the emperor had found him and entrusted him with great trust - but he would rather the emperor was looking for him at that time.

Ni Wenhuan was one of the "Five Tigers" of Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party in the original history. They are acting for the tiger, and it is hateful to kill Zhongliang, but Ni Wenhuan can climb here and become Wei Zhongxian's think tank, and he still has some ability.

He could see that it was obvious that the emperor's so-called "cabinet must approve" was just his delusional self-confidence, in fact, the cabinet had already had its own plan, and it was visible to the naked eye that they did not approve of his one.

At this time, Li Ruhua left in a hurry, which is the proof.

He had a vague sense that a great storm was brewing.

And he, already half a foot into it.

Thank you for the previous "farmer's son farming again" and "no good and no evil" rewards, thank you! I haven't looked at the backstage for the past two days, I haven't seen it (pq)
