Traitors of the Manchu dynasty, why do you make me an emperor through the ages Chapter 68: The troops and horses are not moved, the food and grass go first
Chapter 68: The troops and horses are not moved, the food and grass go first
Daqian Jingcheng, Anrenfang, Zhaofu.
Three days have passed since the last court meeting with Wei Zheng to impeach Yan Song.
Today, another court meeting ended, and the Zhao brothers came to the study again.
Only, this time there were two more people.
One person is a little thin, but looks very similar to Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi. This person is the third brother Zhao Tingmei.
The other person is a scribe with a long beard, a close aide of the Zhao family, named Zhao Pu.
Since both parties are from the same family and their relationship is extremely close, they are considered brothers to Zhao Kuangyin and others.
"Brother, you are really right! That little emperor is really not a thing!"
Zhao Kuangyi banged the table twice, with anger on his face: "It's a shame I was worried about him two days ago!"
During the last court meeting, Li Qian shouted a resounding slogan: Take the people's livelihood as his own livelihood, and take the people's wishes as his own wishes. This attracted applause from all the ministers in the court.
At the court meeting at that time, there were many people with evil intentions... no, people who were worried about the country were extremely worried.
Is it possible that our Emperor is still a troublemaker?
This love of tossing is not necessarily a good thing. The more a fool can toss things, the more corrupt the government will be.
Of course, if the tossing gets better and better, that would not be a good thing...
Therefore, many people gave orders to their spies in the palace to keep an eye on what the emperor was doing every day.
Are you secretly approving memorials and learning how to handle state affairs without telling us?
As a result, the news came back not long after the order was sent out.
His majesty, the wise and mighty emperor, received Mr. He in the Ziwei Palace... The young emperor accepted the Nine Dragon Cup sent by He Shen... The man in the dragon robe ordered a shoulder carriage to be used for the corrupt official He... The unfilial son of the late emperor accepted... The crooked-necked jade pot of Ju Tan He Shen...
Good guy, you really do one thing before others and another behind others!
At the court meeting, you denounce corrupt officials with righteous words, put people first, and turn around and put away the money more quickly than anyone else, right?
However, even so, many people still did not relax.
They carefully inquired about the situation in the palace, fearing that the emperor would secretly handle government affairs without telling others.
However, news has been coming out one after another in the past few days, making many people feel a little relieved.
It turns out that His Majesty the Emperor is really not just faking it.
In the past few days, memorials have been sent to the Qianyuan Front Hall, but he has never even been to the Qianyuan Front Hall. Either he took his concubine to sleep and eat in the Changsheng Palace, or he took his concubine to sleep and eat in the Royal Forest Garden.
Raising pigs is a yes.
In the study room, facing his brother's venting, Zhao Kuangyin grasped the pearl of wisdom and smiled slightly: "I have told you a long time ago that to judge a person, you must not only listen to his words, but also observe his actions."
"After listening to His Majesty's speech, do you believe that he is dedicated to serving the people and handling government affairs?"
"He Shen also said that he didn't dare to be greedy for even a cent! Yan Song also said that he has a clear conscience! Do you believe it??"
Facing his brother's eyes, which looked like he was mentally retarded, Zhao Kuangyi's dark face turned red: "Who knew that the little emperor could be so treacherous and hypocritical at such a young age? He always talks empty words."
Fortunately, Zhao Pu, who was on the side, coughed twice and came to Zhao Kuangyi's rescue: "Brothers, it seems that Your Majesty is also a greedy man, a person who focuses on pleasure, and he is carved in the same mold as the late Emperor. !”
"good."
When it came to business, Zhao Kuangyin did not bother to laugh at his younger brother, and said sternly: "You will be punished if you are angry with me, I am too lazy to work, greedy for money and lust, and full of evil spirits..."
As he talked, several people present seemed to resonate with each other. They looked at each other and sighed in unison: "Like father, like son."
Da Qian had accumulated hundreds of years of virtue to be able to have such two weird emperors in a row.
"Ahem~"
After coughing twice, Zhao Kuangyin raised his tone a bit: "It is precisely because of the emperor's incompetence that we have to step forward to carry out God's will and save the people. Let me help the people out of the sea of suffering!"
Several people present showed approval and nodded. Only Zhao Kuangyi seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and burst into laughter.
Zhao Kuangyin had black lines all over his head and glanced at this fool who was covering his mouth and suppressing his laughter.
Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyi also knew what was appropriate. After laughing, he brought the conversation back to the topic in time: "Brother is right. It is expected that the imperial edict will arrive in the Kingdom of Wu in the next few days. We should prepare now!"
Zhao Kuangyin also nodded slowly, but Zhao Tingmei was a little confused and reluctant: "Second brother? Why don't you wait until the news comes back before starting preparations?"
“What if the Wu Kingdom accepts the order, wouldn’t it mean that we would not be able to come to Taiwan?”
Zhao Kuangyin looked at his third brother helplessly: "Wenhua, wait until then, the day lily will be cold!"
"good."
The second eldest brother, Zhao Kuangyi, said in a deep voice: "The other two companies may take action ahead of schedule, and the Yue Kingdom may not be able to continue to hold on."
"Yeah." Zhao Kuangyin also nodded lightly: "I'm not the only one waiting to act in advance."
"The Ministry of Husbandry has already allocated food and fodder for the expedition from Taicang, and the Ministry of Rites has also sent officials from the Host and Guest Department to go to Zheng and Chen to discuss the matter of using the road to advance the army."
Zhao Kuangyi said in a deep voice: "Everything is prepared in advance. Only when the news of Wu's disobedience comes, can we go out immediately."
"Wenhua, you will also go on an expedition with me this time. Arrange your chores in the past few days and prepare in advance."
Zhao Tingmei looked a little embarrassed, but with the three people watching her, she had no choice but to agree: "Yes, second brother."
Seeing him like this, Zhao Kuangyin sighed in his heart, but still smiled gently on his face and patted Zhao Tingmei on the shoulder: "Wenhua, you go and do some military exploits this time. When the war is over, I will have a reason to do it for you." Ask the emperor for the land of Wu."
Zhao Kuangyi also looked forward to it: "Yes, Wu is as rich as anyone, whoever can get it will have a promising future."
He smiled at Zhao Tingmei and said, "That place is not only rich and peaceful, but also warm and humid. It is a good place to raise people."
"When you go to Wenhua, you just need to show up and go to the back to recuperate. Just leave the rest to my brother!"
Zhao Kuangyin's hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly.
However, Zhao Tingmei felt like listening to the sounds of nature, and a sincere smile broke out on her face: "Thank you, second brother."
After the discussion was over, Zhao Tingmei and Zhao Pu left one after another, and only two brothers, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi, were left here.
For some unknown reason, Zhao Kuangyin was unhappy with this brother's behavior just now.
He stared at a dark, fat face and couldn't help but ask: "Tingyi, why were you laughing just now?"
"laugh?"
Zhao Kuangyi was confused by his question at first, but later he remembered what was going on and laughed out loud on the spot.
But this time, he didn't hold it back any longer and started laughing unbridled.
The more he smiles, the darker Zhao Kuangyin's face becomes.
