Chapter Seventy-Nine?
As the two said, the next day's court meeting immediately brought out this topic.
Sure enough, after Yue Ke heard the news, he stepped forward early and complained, "The old minister thinks he should refuse!"
"Why?"
Zhao Yun was still like that, always sitting still.
"Columns. You should know that our government has already exhausted all the food and salary raised in the treasury because of the previous war against the Mongols, and now there is not a single grain of rice left. And if the entire land of Henan is included in the rule of our dynasty, in order to appease the people in the area, it is necessary to send enough officials and sufficient food and salary. Only in this way can this place be stabilized!" Yue Ke saw Zhao Yun's signal, and when he was excited, he had already made out the speech scripts prepared in advance.
"That's right. That Kaifeng Mansion is important. But the land has long since collapsed, and if there is no investment, how can the people of the land take refuge in us?"
"What's more, this place has been ruled by the Hu people for a long time. If you want to establish rule in this land, you must also send officials. ”
"And it's close to Mongolia. When the time comes, won't we be the first to bear the brunt of the Mongolian army?"
When all the ministers heard this, they all bowed their heads slightly and praised Youjia, and they all thought that Yue Ke's words were very reasonable.
But Dong Huai was very annoyed, and no matter what others thought, he stepped out directly and defended: "Your Majesty." The minister thought that what Yue Ke said was unreasonable. First, this Henan place is where the Central Plains is located, and if we occupy it, we can revive the name of China and gather people with lofty ideals from all over the world to fight against Mongolia; second, although the people are displaced due to frequent wars. But there are millions of people here, and if it is occupied by the chieftain, then the opponent's strength will be increased by one point. If this place is easily abandoned, isn't that tantamount to aiding the iniquity?
"Oh, then tell me, where should the money and food to appease the people of this place come from?"
Yue Ke sneered, obviously not interested in what Dong Huai had mentioned.
Dong Huai couldn't help frowning, and then replied: "Now that the autumn harvest has just passed, if you make a little bit of it from it, it should be enough to meet the needs here." ”
"But don't forget, the Mongol soldiers don't stop all the way. At present, Yu Jue is in the Sichuan and Shu area, and he is confronting Na Kuoduan and Ba Sipa. I'll wait for this, and take away the grain that should have been sent to Sichuan and Shu at this time. Then if the front line fails due to military salaries, can you take this responsibility?" Yue Ke was not convinced, and retorted.
Being squeezed by him like this, Dong Huai didn't feel annoyed, and opened his mouth to shout: "Then sit back and wait for Henan to be occupied by that Hulu?"
"Hmph, there are still people in my court who are hungry, how can there be extra food to share with others?" Yue Ke flicked his long sleeves and retorted directly.
Dong Huai didn't eat soft rice, so he opened his mouth and said: "You guy, can't you see the Mongolian threat clearly? If Feier and others were incompetent at that time, how could they let the Mongolian step into Sichuan and Shu and slaughter wantonly, and ruin our country." Today, if we sit idly by, then the people of Henan will all become our enemies!"
"Then according to your reasons, should I let my soldiers go hungry? If there is not enough food, how can you let my soldiers fight each other?
For a while, the two of them were on this vertical arch hall, and you scolded back and forth.
Zheng Qingzhi saw that the two of them looked excited, and hurriedly pulled Dong Huai and persuaded in a low voice: "The most important thing now is to persuade the official family to accept Fan Yongji." What can you do while you're making a noise here?"
Farther away, Yue Lin also said to Yue Ke: "I know that you are considerate of the military. But this matter is not up to you and me to decide, aren't you afraid of the anger of the official family if you are like this?"
"Two Aiqing, don't be impulsive. Why don't you listen to what other people think?"
Standing high on the throne, Zhao Yun saw that the two were about to fight, so he immediately interjected and persuaded the two to leave.
On the other side, Na Ding Daquan saw the firelight bursting from both sides, and immediately showed a smile, but he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty." The minister still has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Yun was puzzled, and with a flick of his sleeve, he asked Ding Daquan to complain.
On the other side, Zheng Qingzhi looked at Ding Daquan's performance, and he was also suspicious, "What kind of calculation did this guy have when he came out at this time?"
"Your Majesty. In any case, since Meng Hui has made such a great contribution now. According to reason, the reward should be awarded, otherwise how can the generals accept it? I just don't know what Your Majesty plans to do?" Sure enough, I saw Ding Daquan smile lightly, and immediately threw out this bomb.
"Reward?"
The ministers were not silent, and they didn't know what to do.
That Meng Heng was already in a high position, and he was appointed as a full-time ambassador for the pacification of Jinghu, and later because of his contribution to protecting Xiangyang, he was awarded the founding prince of Handong County and the major security inspector of the school.
Could it be that after adding a Jin king like Xiao Feng, is there another king like Meng Heng?
"Zheng Qingzhi, what do you think?"
Zhao Yun naturally thought of this, so he looked sideways at Zheng Qingzhi.
Zheng Qing was stunned for a while, and then opened his mouth and said: "The old minister thinks that this matter is not something that I can decide alone, but I don't know what Yue Shangshu's opinion is?"
When Yue Ke saw this scene, he didn't feel that he was scolding his mother in his heart, but since Zhao Yun had seen it, he naturally had no choice but to reply stubbornly: "The old minister thinks that this matter still needs to be discussed. ”
"Discussion?Yue Shangshu, if I remember correctly, at that time, Xiao Feng was crowned the king, and you also promoted it. Since Xiao Feng, a woman, can still become the king by capturing the Hanzhong generation, how can General Meng not rely on seizing the Central Plains?" Dong Huai laughed out loud, and his mouth became even more sarcastic.
Yue Ke's old face turned red, and he opened his mouth to complain: "You!"
It's just that he has practical power this time, but a trace of blood was left from the corner of his mouth, which should be controlled by a rush of anger, and then his body shook for a while, and he almost fell on top of the main hall.
When Zhao Yun saw this scene, he immediately felt a trace of pity: "Aiqing." What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's just a matter of impatience. Yue Ke shook his head, revealing a somewhat miserable appearance, and leaned down at Zhao Yun and replied: "It's just that the minister is itchy at the moment, I don't know if I can leave?"
Zhao Yun replied with his head bowed: "Naturally." It's just that when you go back, remember to recuperate!
"I understand. Yue Kebai fell, and immediately walked out of this magnificent palace with the support of the Yellow Gate who was with him.
Dong Huai looked annoyed, but he was helpless, no matter whether the other party was pretending to be sick or really sick, Yue Ke finally avoided this trap through his own operation.
In the past, Xiao Feng was crowned king, I don't know how many people's time and money were wasted, but now if Meng Heng also comes to do this, I am afraid that the entire court will completely explode.
Yue Ke will want to escape, naturally this is the reason!
But Zhao Yun didn't give up, swept the ministers in the palace, and asked, "Everyone, what do you think?"
For the matter of sealing the king, Zhao Yun naturally could not easily agree, but if Meng Heng really made such a meritorious feat now, then under the persecution of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, he could only be like Xiao Feng at that time, and named Meng Heng the king.
At this time, Dong Huai stood up from it and complained: "Your Majesty." It's too early to tell. It's better to wait for Meng Heng to talk about this matter after he captures Kaifeng Mansion. After all, this Kaifeng Mansion has not yet fallen into the hands of us, so wouldn't it be a bit funny to talk about the so-called feudal king? Otherwise, if someone imitates Tong Guan's actions, then how should we act at that time? ”
What Dong Aiqing said is very true. Then I'll just watch for the time being, if that Meng Heng can really win Kaifeng, then what if I give him a mere prince? But if it hasn't been captured, then this matter will not be discussed again, you know?" Zhao Yun sighed and gently moved the matter away.
Seeing that this matter was over, the ministers did not want to continue to entangle, so they let the entire court discussion pass.
After stepping down from the palace, Dong Huai was still confused, and asked, "Zheng Xianggong, is this why you are so worried?"
"That's right. If Henan is included in our hands, we will inevitably promote this matter, and it will be absolutely impossible for Meng Heng to stop being crowned king. After all, if there is no corresponding reward for the merit of seizing the Central Plains, how can it be accepted by the people of the world?" Zheng Qingzhi sighed and said unconsciously: "But you also know that Your Majesty has been worried about Xiao Feng's sealing of the king before, and if we push this person, what will Your Majesty think?"
Dong Huai looked stunned, and his eyebrows were full of grievances: "Is there no compromise?"
"Either stop or help. Do you think that there is really a third way for everything in this world?" Shaking his head, Zheng Qingzhi felt that there was no third way to go.
"Then let's just give up the possibility of seizing the Central Plains this time?" Dong Huai looked annoyed, obviously quite dissatisfied with this matter.
With the help of the Red Phoenix Army, they not only killed Shi Tianze, but Zhang Rou was also forced to flee overseas, and now they only need to go all the way north with one blow and completely control the entire river, but now they have fallen into such a situation because of the so-called feudal king?
If the Red Phoenix Army listens to it, wouldn't it feel ridiculous?
Zheng Qingzhi felt helpless, so he had to reply: "Alas! It's just that now, it can only depend on how Meng Heng chooses. Fuyou raised his head and looked to the far north.
Above the sky, there were dark clouds and thunder, and it should be raining.
And in the north, is it the same?56
