Zhou's accounts are calculated by Zhou herself, and she is determined not to ask for help from outsiders.
In fact, outsiders can't do much to help her.
However, there were a large number of people helping him calculate the emperor's accounts.
After a great victory in the first battle, it was natural for the three armies to have a banquet to celebrate their achievements.
This is what we often hear about the grand celebration of wine.
During the banquet, the emperor raised his glass high, and the ministers cheered three times, and then danced up and down to add to the entertainment.
Although the emperor was conducting military campaigns in person and was far away from the court, relevant government affairs were still delivered once a day and reported to the emperor in a timely manner.
Overall, the country remains peaceful and stable as Mount Tai.
However, there was a leak from the clan's mansion that aroused the emperor's worry.
What is written above is none other than the marriage of Qi Xiaotong, the royal county lord, to General Hong Tao of Weiyuan.
Regarding this matter, relevant conclusions have long been reached, and there are no objections.
However, Mr. Zongzheng specifically mentioned: According to the etiquette rules, whenever a royal daughter comes out of the cabinet, the emperor must accompany you with some dowry. Therefore, I would like to ask you to report a large amount to me.
Such a marriage was a private matter of the Li family, and the Ministry of Revenue would not pay for it. In other words, the emperor had to pay for the money himself.
Pay money?
That's not easy to handle. Can't you just give it a try?
How is this possible?
Zong Zheng seemed to have guessed the emperor's thoughts in advance, so he admonished him directly: This money must not be too shabby, otherwise, people in the world will laugh at him.
There are two reasons for this.
First of all, both Qi Yu and Qi Jing were great contributors to our Dafeng Dynasty's expansion of territory, and made great contributions to the country and the country. How could such high-ranking ministers get away with it?
You know, all the scholars in the world are watching with their eyes wide open?
How can you be stingy?
Secondly, Qiongzhou is the richest place in China, and even in the world. If the local chief minister's daughter comes out of the palace, how can there be no reason for leaders in all walks of life not to add more?
To put it bluntly, the Hai family's gift alone is estimated to be worth tens of thousands of gold.
If the majestic royal family can't even suppress a local merchant, then how can they have the dignity to respect themselves?
As soon as he heard this, Li Hongyu felt a little uncomfortable.
It is true that this money cannot come from the national treasury, we must find a way to solve it ourselves.
However, it would be a bit overwhelming to allow myself to overtake the richest man in Qiongzhou. Oh no, it is beyond my ability.
So, the emperor asked a few close ministers to help him calculate the money in his private treasury to see how much he could squeeze out.
The results came out quickly, and the maximum reward was five thousand taels of gold.
If there are any more, it will affect the normal expenses of the palace.
It is definitely not possible to influence the imperial palace. How can you empty your own family just for his family?
However, less is not enough.
Afraid of making people laugh.
What a dilemma!
At this time, the emperor began to complain about his father: Tell me, why did he insist on making her the county head in the first place? He didn't get any benefits, but now he has to spend more money and add more money. It really feels like he shot himself in the face.
foot.
It can even be said that you are trapped in a cocoon!
However, the fact has been established and cannot be changed anymore. It seems that we can only accept this account.
However, what made the emperor feel uncomfortable was far more than that.
It is said that when the Supreme Emperor visited Qiongzhou in the south, he recognized a folk girl named Mu Ziqing as his goddaughter. Moreover, he was also officially canonized as Princess Linlang.
Later, there were rumors that the consecrated girl had already been booked in advance for Brother Qi Xiao as his wife. From this point of view, he would have to pay for it again on the day he leaves the cabinet.
According to the level, the princess is much older than the county chief. It is conceivable that the money must be over ten thousand!
My biological father, do you want me to go bankrupt?
Li Hongyu's stomach was full of bitterness, and even drinking wine became boring.
Regarding Princess Linlang, we will talk about it later. For now, let’s take care of this vote first!
How should Qi Xiaotong handle the extra boxes?
Seeing that the emperor was in trouble, the sleepy San Dezi suddenly became energetic and hurriedly remonstrated: "I thought it would be easy to resolve this difficulty."
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this and asked: "What good idea did your father-in-law think of?"
San Dezi bowed forward and replied with a smile: "Isn't your Majesty worried that the Hai family will show off? Then, why not send someone to send him a message to keep a low profile? After such a warning, how can he dare to do more?
Pay money? And your Majesty, can’t you save some?"
Let me use my power to oppress others?
Um……
Although this method is not popular, it does not lose its practicality.
Very doable!
So, the matter was settled.
On the one hand, he sent people to Nanyang to give Hai Dafu secret instructions to let him relax a little. On the other hand, he also issued an edict to the Zongren Mansion, agreeing to give a general figure of no more than five thousand taels of gold.
And he also emphasized, only less but not more.
After dealing with the Qi family's affairs, it was time to discuss current military affairs.
Goryeo, what should we do?
Wang Zhifan hurriedly gave his advice: "It is said in "Zuo Zhuan": Fighting requires courage. One burst of momentum will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted. But now, at a time when victory is about to begin and morale is high, we should pursue it bravely and win in one fell swoop.
Come down to this country."
San Dezi also said: "Although our family has not read any military books, we also know the principle of striking while the iron is hot. Once the time is missed, the enemy may get a rare chance to breathe. Therefore, the old slave agrees with General Wang's point of view.
"
It can be seen that the suggestions of both of them are to use military strength and speed, and to win the battle quickly.
Determined not to leave any chance for Korea Bangzi to rest and recuperate.
However, Li Hongyu said with concern: "The second minister's suggestion is very reasonable, and I also agree with it. However, Yin Jun repeatedly reminded me in his memorial, saying, don't rush for success, so as not to fall into the trap of the Koreans.
In the trap. He believes that we should use the numerical advantage to fight steadily and work step by step to defeat the enemy."
"Yin Jun?" Wang Zhifan smiled disdainfully after hearing this and said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, Yin Jun is just a white-faced scholar. He has no experience in leading an army? His suggestions are obviously just words on paper and have no practical value.
"If we follow his words, we will definitely delay the war and even drag the three armies into a stalemate."
Well, that’s true!
Yin Junnai is a civil servant, how can he know any military tactics?
His move was just to increase his presence and show that he has a wide range of talents!
Thinking of this, the emperor smiled with relief and said: "In that case, let's start marching early tomorrow morning and have a showdown with that Korean boy!"
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"After this battle, I will definitely be remembered in history and become one of the very few Chinese monarchs who can conquer Goryeo!" This chapter has been completed!
