Chapter 69: Pre-Cabinet Meeting
Since the first heavy snow fell, there were several heavy snowfalls in Beijing, and as the ice and snow gradually melted, Jingshi also reached the coldest season of the year, which is a kind of cold that only northerners can understand, commonly known as thawing.
The melting snow and ice soon became a crust of ice on the road.
In stark contrast to the cold wind outside, the cabinet is baked by the earth fire dragon like the twilight of spring.
The deep flue played a role similar to that of floor heating in later generations, and the cabinet ministers still had a little sweat on their foreheads even if they were wearing only official uniforms.
Yan Song, who was sitting in the middle of the duty house, saw that the six departments and nine Qings had arrived one after another, so he spoke.
"You have already seen the will of the monarch."
"Next year, I will recruit another 100,000 troops for Zhu Kun in the southeast."
After Yan Song finished speaking, his eyes looked at Xu Jie.
"What does Zisheng think about this?"
After what happened last time, Xu Jie became more and more cautious in front of Yan Song.
"Elder Yan Ge, since the monarch's father has a will, we will act with Elder Yan Ge in accordance with the decree."
Xu Jie's words were not leaky, which not only took care of Yan Song but also ensured Jiajing's will.
Only Yan Shifan was on the side, and pretended to be displeased and said, "Dad, where is there any silver in the household department?" Recruit 100,000 troops, before the summer grain arrives in Beijing in the first half of next year, the imperial court will spend an additional 250,000 taels on military salaries, not counting the ordnance and armor. ”
Of course, Yan Shifan's displeasure is half pretended, and half is really reluctant.
After all, the Yan family also has a share of the cake that goes to sea.
Tobe Shangshu Xia Bangmo was left to the side.
But Charbonme has long been used to it.
Even if it is from the north and south of the history, he also has ambitions in his chest, and he has engaged in whipping in many places.
After all, the Hubu Shangshu of the Jiajing Dynasty is actually Mr. Yijiaofang, and the real Hubu Shangshu is the old Taoist priest himself.
In the cabinet, Xia Bangmo can only be a transparent person.
Looking at Yan Shifan's slamming of the door, Yan Song said expressionlessly: "Qing'er, the year before last, I had milled the Yihetao, didn't the household department leave 600,000 taels of silver for the northwest?" ”
"Didn't you spend all the 600,000?"
Yan Song said leisurely: "At that time, the cabinet left 200,000 yuan, which was recorded for the Datong soldiers, and they were taken out first. ”
After Yan Song said this, the faces of the six Shangshu were more and more ugly one by one.
The cabinet took out the money, and they were naturally embarrassed to say that they didn't take it.
After all, the accounts were there.
Xu Jie spoke first: "Elder Yan Ge, Elder Xiao Ge, the Ministry of Rites took 50,000 taels, which is intended for Gengxu Keju, let's take it out first." ”
Obviously, Yan Song was very satisfied with Xu Jie's reaction.
Ding Rukui looked at the father and son in front of him, struggled for a long time, and closed the recital after a sigh.
"Okay, okay, the military department also took the lead, I took 150,000 yuan before, I originally wanted to keep it for reward, and I took it out."
Yan Song and Yan Shifan sang red face and white face.
The rest of the films also retogether the 600,000 taels one after another.
Ding Rukui looked at Yan Song puzzled and asked, "But Yan Ge Lao, these 600,000 taels of silver are not enough, and if you are full, you will recruit 30,000 soldiers." ”
Yan Song said abruptly: "You have to eat one bite at a time, and the soldiers are not recruited to go to the battlefield, so you can increase as much as you can, and the will does not say that you have to recruit all the soldiers next year." ”
When Xu Jie heard this, he also stroked his beard and smiled: "There are more than 30,000 farts in the southeast, and they can scare those few widows to death!" ”
Ding Rukui looked at Xu Jie a little speechlessly, his mouth moved, and finally he could only give a thumbs up.
"Xu Butang is high."
Jiuqing also immediately touted Xu Jie.
It was at this time that a Guan Zheng Ji Shi who was making a record in the distance suddenly closed the record in his hand.
A crisp "pop" sounded.
The voice was as if it had smacked Xu Jie's mouth.
He didn't seem to expect such a big commotion, but he only hesitated for a moment before continuing to raise his legs and walk out.
There is no meaning to give Xu Jie face.
Xu Jie's face was a little ugly, but Yan Song was secretly happy in his heart.
"Gao Suqing! Where are you going? ”
Gao Gong obviously didn't expect that a high-ranking person like Yan Song would be able to directly call out his name.
Only then did he turn to look at Yan Song.
"Elder Yan Ge, I don't understand!"
"Don't understand what?"
The high arched chest rose and fell violently.
"The Japanese in the southeast, everyone here knows who they are."
"Now we have to spend a lot of money to recruit troops in the southeast...... Alas. ”
Gao Gong sighed and then said: "In another twenty years, won't the people of the southeast be divided into two, half of them will join the official army, and half will become the Japanese robbers?" ”
"Killing and killing, it is nothing more than the people of the southeast going to kill the other half of the people of the southeast."
"I really don't understand, even if such a battle is won, how happy is it?"
Xu Jie looked at Gao Gong with some impatience and said: "Then according to what you Gao Suqing saw, then simply abolish all the guards in Jiangnan, and let that widow be loyal to the country in the southeast and Pingchuan." ”
Gao Gong looked at Xu Jie's eyes, his mouth opened, but he finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
"It's Xia Guan Meng Lang."
Yan Song stood up with great interest and said, "It's just Zisheng." ”
"Su Qing has just entered the officialdom, I don't know the reason, don't be too surprised, Su Qing, take a seat."
As soon as Yan Song said this, Xu Jie's words were gone, and he was tame and closed his mouth like a lion cat beside Jiajing.
Seeing that everyone had no opinion.
Yan Song said leisurely: "Wokou, you must not suppress it, the rest of the general affairs have their own precedents, and the will of the monarch is the most important thing for you and me." ”
"Since the will of the monarch has been completed, the old man will not keep you."
Yan Song said so.
This cabinet meeting is over.
It's just after everyone is gone.
Yan Song still sat on the Taishi's chair and refused to move.
"Qing'er, bring me the list of bachelors to be added when the prince will come out of the pavilion to study."
Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song with some puzzlement, but still took the list.
Without waiting for Yan Shifan to ask carefully, he saw that Yan Song erased a name from the list with a slight stroke, and then added the name of Gao Gong.
"Dad, how can you let Gao Suqing go to the East Palace to give a lecture? His surname is high, but he is not the same as us! ”
Yan Song said disappreciatively: "It doesn't matter whether he Gao Suqing and us are all the way. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Song's expression gradually became fierce.
"Xiang envoy, one day my Yan family will never recover, and the old man will have to splash his face Xu Zisheng's blood."
Since Yan Song entered the cabinet, he had a slight foreboding in his heart.
I did too many dirty things for my father.
Do you Xu Zisheng want to stand on the dry shore and watch the clouds roll up?
Dream!
