Chapter 58 The court game, Dasi Nong Sangle resigned
"Pang Aiqing, excuse me."
Liu Xie said tremblingly.
His face was as white as paper.
It's also that his concentration is different from ordinary people, otherwise, he would have vomited just now.
Wu Wei died too tragically.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."
Pang An said.
"Pang Aiqing has something to say, let's talk about it."
"I've listened."
Liu Xie raised his hand and said.
He just wanted to end this court meeting as soon as possible, however, he was so scared to hide in the quilt and cry well when he returned to the palace.
"Your Majesty, the minister received news that the flood in Huainan has led to the spread of the plague, and for the sake of the people of Huainan, please send the imperial doctor of the palace to Huainan to treat the plague."
Pang An played.
"What? Is there a flood in Huainan? And the plague? Why didn't I receive a report from the officials? Yushitai, Shangshutai, have you received such a report? ”
When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but look at the civil and military officials present, especially when he asked the officials of Shangshutai and Yushitai for reasons.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say."
Taifu Yuan Kui, as the chief minister of Shangshutai, stood up and explained to Liu Xie.
"Your Majesty, Shang Shutai has indeed received such a report, but now, the land of Huainan is also a place where the princes are fighting, and the imperial court wants to send people to cure the plague, but it is also powerless."
"Your Majesty, please."
Yuan Kui's words were reasonable and orderly, even the civil and military officials present couldn't find fault.
"This ......"
When Liu Xie heard this, he also understood the difficulties mentioned by Yuan Kui.
Today, most of the Lianghuai region has fallen into the hands of Nanyang Yuan Shu.
These princes of one side have always been against the court, and they sent people at this time, and it is very likely that the meat buns will beat the dogs, and there will be no return.
"Does Pang Aiqing have a good plan?"
He asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister recommended the imperial doctor Ling Jiping, the imperial doctor Ji is a veteran resource of the imperial doctor, he has prestige among the people and the palace, and he serves as this anti-plague Qincha, first, to show the court's love for the people of Huainan and win the hearts of the people, and secondly, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu will not be afraid of the imperial doctor."
"What kind of storm can a doctor make?"
"Right?"
Pang An's advice.
"Uh-this is a brilliant plan, and this matter will be acted on according to Aiqing's words."
"Come here, draft an edict, appoint the imperial physician Ling Jiping as the Qin Mission, and take people to Huainan to cure the plague."
"Where's the Great Si Nong?"
Liu Xie said.
"The old minister is here!"
Dasi Nong Sangle is listed.
Sang Le, who was sixty years old at the time, was the thirty-generation grandson of Sang Hongyang, the great secretary of Emperor Wu, and he is now one of the nine kings, in charge of the wealth and taxation of the Han Dynasty.
Dasi Nong, who was in charge of the money valley, was the chief financial officer of the state, and was ranked with the Shaofu who managed the emperor's private wealth.
All the expenses of the officials, military expenses, and engineering construction were paid by the Dasi Nong, and the official fields, salt, iron smelting, and other government-run handicrafts were also under the supervision of the Dasi Nong.
"How much silver is left in the treasury today?"
"How many herbs?"
Liu Xie asked.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, now, the treasury is empty, and after the three million taels that were recorded in the account of the previous Meng Da Sima Raider, there are now less than 200,000 taels of silver."
"As for the medicinal herbs, there is some leftover."
Sang Le said.
"What? Less than 200,000 taels? This, how is this possible? How could a huge imperial court be so constrained? Where did the money and silver used by Da Sima to build [Shanglin Yuan] come from? ”
Liu Xie couldn't help but ask.
It's just that he just said this and felt that it was inappropriate, but the words had landed, and he couldn't take it back, and he could only make a mistake, and he only hoped that Yuan Ke would not blame him.
"Back to Your Majesty, the money used by Da Sima is from Da Sima's own pocket, not from the treasury."
"The old minister is old, please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict, and Da Sima will take charge of the treasury."
Dasi Nong Sangle took the initiative to resign.
He understood that the Han family was exhausted, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, had no ability to revive the Han family, and he didn't want to participate in the power struggle between the two, so he took the initiative to ask for help and retire to his hometown.
"What?"
"Sang Lao Aiqing, you are a veteran of the Five Dynasties, and you have made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and now the imperial court is in ruins, and you still need your old support."
"I can't agree to that."
When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Although Dasi Nong is Jiuqing, he has great real power and controls the financial power of the Han court, and if this power is handed over to Yuan Ke, Yuan Ke will be like a tiger with wings, and at that time, he will be difficult to check and balance.
For this reason, he can't let Sang Le resign, otherwise, once he resigns, Yuan Ke will have a reason to join the Dasi Nong Yamen and take over the financial power of the imperial court.
“......”
Yuan Ke was also surprised by the actions of this great Si Nong.
He's smart.
In an instant, he understood the reason for Sang Le's resignation, abandoned the official and returned, and Mingzhe protected himself.
This behavior also caught him off guard.
It's just that Sang Le also reminded him that maybe it's time to control the power of the two financial departments of Dasi Nong and Shaofu in his hands.
In this way, Fang can better control the court and increase his strength.
"Your Majesty, this is a consultation letter that the minister asked the imperial doctor to prescribe, and the imperial doctor said that the old minister's body can no longer work hard for the imperial court, otherwise, I am afraid that he will not survive this winter."
"For this reason, the old minister asks His Majesty to be gracious, and the minister will return to his hometown and retire for the rest of his life."
Dasi Nong Sang Le didn't listen to Liu Xie's words, Liu Xie was just a puppet, he didn't have the capital to fight with Yuan Ke at all.
He's just a joke now.
He will not accompany this young emperor to the funeral.
"Sang Lao Aiqing, you ......"
Liu Xie didn't expect Sang Le's resignation to be so resolute, nor did he expect the other party's physical condition to be so bad, and now, he doesn't know how to refuse.
"Your Majesty, Lord Sang has worked hard for the court for decades, and now he is sick, and the court should be sympathetic."
"Please allow Lord Sang to resign and return to his hometown, and An Heng will live in his old age."
Yuan Kui is also an old fox, he understands how important the position of [Dasi Nong] is, if it is in the hands of their Yuan clan, then their Yuan clan will not be short of money and silver.
So he began to cheer Yuan Ke.
"Please allow Master Sang to return to his hometown to recuperate."
"I'll second!"
.......
After that, most of the civil and military officials in the court began to speak for Yuan Kui, only the royalists led by Dong Cheng and Fu Wan did not express their position, and they were also in a dilemma.
Dong Cheng, after Fu finished them, they understood the importance of [Dasi Nong] to the imperial court, and they could not give up this position to Yuan Ke.
It's just that I also understand that Yuan Ke is powerful and murderous, and if he doesn't agree to his words, I don't know how many people will die in this court today?
They hesitated.
"Dong Cheng, as a lieutenant general, what do you mean?"
"Do you agree?"
Liu Xie looked at Dong Cheng hopefully, he hoped that Dong Cheng, the national abbot, could help him and keep the position of this [Great Sinong] for him, and he couldn't cheapen Yuan Ke for nothing.
"Your Majesty requests your majesty to grant the Great Sima and the Great Si Nong."
Dong Cheng arched his hand and said.
At a critical time, he still chose to protect himself.
Now Yuan Ke's power in the court is unmatched, and no one can compete with him for the position of the great sinong, even if he stands up against it, it is useless.
For this reason, it is better to express kindness to Yuan Ke and protect himself.
"General Dong, you ......"
Liu Xie looked at Guozhang Fu Wan, and he found that Fu Wan also lowered his head.
"Please allow Your Majesty to grant the Great Sima and the Great Si Nong."
Fu Wan also bowed to the power.
"Please allow Your Majesty to grant the Great Sima and the Great Si Nong."
After that, under the persecution of hundreds of civil and military officials, Liu Xie handed over the important financial power of Dasi Nong to Yuan Ke very unwillingly.
"Accurate!"
After the end of the court meeting, Yuan Ke came to Shangshutai, and he had a position: leading Shangshu and counselor.
As soon as he entered Shangshutai, he urged the officials of Shangshutai to immediately draft an edict, so that the imperial physician Ling Jiping immediately went to Huainan to prevent plague, and at the same time, he also allocated Jiping, a difference of 200,000 taels of silver and ten carts of medicinal materials, with [Dasi Nong].
"Boom!!"
As soon as Liu Xie entered the harem, he was immediately furious, and today, he lost to Yuan Ke again.
First there was the killing of Yushi Wu Wei, and then there was the dispute between Dasi Nong, his two old fathers-in-law, Dong Cheng and Fu Wan Qiqi betrayed him, openly supported Yuan Ke, the traitor, and let him lose such an important position as [Dasi Nong].
He hated to kill them all.
"Traitor!"
He cursed.
“......”
The eunuchs and palace maids who were in charge of waiting on one side did not dare to approach Liu Xie, they did not go to the court and did not understand what was happening in the court.
But as soon as they heard that the Great Sima Yuan Ke had gone to court today, they instantly understood that their master was angry with the Great Sima again.
Da!
Da!
Da!
Liu Xie's nobleman Fu Shou twisted his seductive waist, dressed in a gorgeous palace skirt, and hurried to see Liu Xie surrounded by several palace maids.
She had just heard that Liu Xie had been humiliated by Yuan Ke in every way at the court meeting, and even her father and Dong Guiren's father had not helped him, and she could understand Liu Xie's helplessness and anger at this time.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has made amends for your sins on behalf of your father."
She knelt down to Liu Xie.
