But it is also true that the food in the palace is good and there is someone to take care of it. How good it is. If Zhu Houcong is left alone, he will not want to go home. No one can find him here. There is a special little eunuch to serve him. In the cabinet, everyone
All they talked about was work.
Furthermore, the person involved knows that this is not a bad thing, but for others, this is not a good thing. You know, this is equivalent to house arrest in disguise.
Yang Tinghe is the chief minister of the cabinet, and he was put under house arrest in disguise. This is not good news. At that time, everyone was speculating on His Majesty's intentions. Those who had ulterior motives below were a little uneasy. However, more than a month later, there was no change.
When something happened, everyone gradually relaxed their vigilance, but the few old guys in the cabinet were not vigilant at all.
Jiang Mian, in particular, has been speculating on the purpose of this matter, and he has been testing it intentionally or unintentionally while working. But who is Yang Tinghe? He will ignore this matter if he says he will not care about it. Exceptions will be made. Your Majesty is determined.
You have to fight hard to the end, after all, it is money, and it is money you have.
If his son Yang Shen was not on His Majesty's side, it would be okay. The worst he could do was to quit his job and just fight with His Majesty to the end, which would ruin his reputation. But things are different now. He still has
For a son, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about your son and the Yang family.
Therefore, it is best for him to ignore this kind of thing. It would be better if there is no commotion outside. If there is a commotion, he takes the initiative to resign. This is the most perfect result and will not delay his son's future.
Furthermore, although Bixia has made a fortune in the world with the so-called fairy medicine, the effect of the medicine is indeed real, and it was created by his own son. This is something that will last forever, and the reputation is good.
Well, after weighing the pros and cons, I still favor His Majesty's side, so I just followed His Majesty's lead.
"Eunuch Huang, don't worry. Your Majesty has his own ideas. If the ministers really want to make a fuss, your Majesty may not win a big victory, but he will not lose." He was quite surprised by Huang Jin's arrival.
, but he didn't care about Huang Jin's worries. His Majesty has been preparing for more than a month. He may not win a big victory, but he will definitely not lose. At most, both sides will suffer losses.
However, he prefers that His Majesty win, because as long as His Majesty behaves tough enough, those people will naturally give in. Scholars, especially those who have set foot in officialdom, know the art of compromise best.
"Mr. Yang Ge, why don't you understand what I mean? This will definitely cause an uproar. Then the whole Ming Dynasty will be in chaos. Why aren't you worried at all?" Huang Jin was anxious. Are you worried?
Listen to me, Your Majesty has arrested and killed someone directly. Just imagine for yourself, if the news spreads, wouldn't it be counterproductive?
Yang Tinghe shook his head. He had thought of this kind of thing a long time ago. There is no need, there is no need to be anxious at all. As for the opposition of scholars in the world? Does Your Majesty care? Could it be that the rebellion should be put down directly?
Of course, there must be riots, but they are not as exaggerated as Huang Jin imagined. His Majesty has been prepared and will not let chaos break out in the world. And isn't he here? There is no leader, just a loose pile of sand.
But this is not something Huang Jin should discuss. Besides, even if you are in a hurry, you should go to Lu Fang instead of me. There is indeed something wrong with your brain.
"Eunuch Huang, don't worry. His Majesty has his own considerations. The most important thing you should do is to believe in His Majesty. I didn't tell you what you did. You came here to do something wrong."
"I am also sick and seek medical treatment in a hurry. I hope Mr. Ge can clear up my confusion." Huang Jin admitted that he was indeed anxious because of his love for you, but what should he do? No one really said it. Godfather's place is almost crazy busy. How can he still let me know?
Can he find Chen Hong?
Yang Tinghe shook his head helplessly and said softly: "The most important thing you should do now is to have confidence in His Majesty. Don't be anxious. Just follow what His Majesty says. In other words, Your Majesty doesn't know that it will be bad if they make trouble.
It's over, but His Majesty still did it, Eunuch Huang, please think about it carefully."
Yang Tinghe didn't say much. Your Majesty is such a shrewd person. Lu Fang is such a shrewd person. They are not in a hurry. Tell me, what are you looking for? And to find him here is the most stupid thing.
Yes, because essentially speaking, I will not stand here.
"Huang Jin, you are so brave." Before Huang Jin could reply, he saw Zhu Houcong with a gloomy look on his face.
Huang Jin was so frightened that he knelt down quickly and said in a frightened voice: "I come to see Your Majesty. I deserve to die. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."
"See your majesty, your majesty." Yang Tinghe shook his head helplessly, good guy, just put the gun on the muzzle, you will be unlucky, but in essence it is for your majesty's good, and your majesty will not punish you severely, right?
"Excuse me? Huang Jin, you are so brave. You dare to take matters into your own hands and bring it upon me, and you come to Yang Tinghe. You are very brave, aren't you?" Zhu Houcong sneered. He only thought that Huang Jin was a bit stupid, but
I didn't expect you to be so stupid. No matter what you say, I can't come here. When did I tell you that Yang Tinghe is one of my own? He's not very old. How can he do such stupid things?
"This slave deserves to die." Huang Jin was shaking like chaff and kept knocking his head until his forehead started to bleed.
"Come here, drag me down to fight for thirty years. After the fight, take me back. You are not allowed to go out without my order." Zhu Houcong didn't want to hear anything. He was just stupid. He asked questions about his opponents and he was really not smart.
.
"No." The little eunuch below did not dare to speak after listening, so he had to drag Huang Jin down quickly. However, His Majesty also said that after the beating, he would be taken back and restrained, indicating that he had no intention of beating him to death.
Seeing Huang Jin being dragged away, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but shook his head helplessly. Huang Jin's heart was still good, but his work was a little bad. It was right not to let him handle government affairs. I hope he can be smarter in the future.
"Eunuch Huang is also unintentional. He must be loyal, but his brain is really not very bright." Yang Tinghe smiled helplessly when he saw it. His Majesty must also be very helpless.
"If I didn't know that he was loyal, I would have dragged him out and beat him to death. Forget it, let's not talk about it. How is living here?" Zhu Houcong didn't bother to say anything. There was no need to say otherwise.
"It's not bad. I live quite comfortably. At least no one comes to disturb me." Yang Tinghe smiled. Only those who have lived here know how comfortable he is. He is indeed right, otherwise he would be annoyed to death now.
, how could it stop like this?
"Did Huang Jin tell you?"
"I didn't say too much, but I did tell you about the trouble caused by the Confucian scholars. He was afraid that His Majesty would be too radical and wanted me to persuade His Majesty." Yang Tinghe smiled. Although Huang Jin's behavior was indeed a bit childish, but in essence
It is indeed for His Majesty's good.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him. What do you think about this matter? Do you think I am too radical?" Of course, he was just asking. No matter what Yang Tinghe said, he had to do what he should do.
, I have done everything, how could I stop just because Yang Tinghe said a few words.
But Yang Tinghe is an old fox after all, so it's best to ask.
"Do you want your Majesty to listen to the truth or lies?" Yang Tinghe was not in a hurry. He felt that his temperament had improved a lot after being in the cabinet for more than a month. Unfortunately, after this period of time, His Majesty designated him to be kicked out, and the good days will no longer exist.
.
"You can say whatever you want, I don't care whether you tell the truth or not." Zhu Houhuang glanced at him, not worried about the routine at all. He really thought that I was here to ask for advice. If you keep pretending, I will drive you home. When the time comes,
You have a headache.
"Well, I think what your Majesty did was not wrong. If you don't be stronger, you will have more headaches later. Of course, this will also cause a strong backlash. It depends on how your Majesty handles it." Yang Tinghe coughed lightly, please don't
He didn't play his cards according to the routine, which made me very embarrassed.
"If you say it, it's the same as if you haven't said it. Forget it, I don't expect you to say anything. Do you think anyone will collude with foreigners?" Zhu Houcong narrowed his eyes. Internal fighting is internal fighting, but being a traitor and traitor is another matter.
Although it is true, Qi Jingtong has already set off with five armies. If there is really any problem, others will already be in place by then, unless they have already become traitors.
Zhu Houcong still didn't want to see such a result. He focused on internal fighting. This was a bad habit. It was understandable. He wanted to suppress the imperial power. He also recognized it. After all, if he were a minister, he also wanted to be a powerful minister or even an emperor. But you colluded with foreign invaders.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one's own nation cannot be justified. For such a person, it is not an exaggeration to kill the nine ethnic groups with thousands of swords.
When asked about this, Yang Tinghe also fell silent. To be honest, it was hard for him to say. The officialdom was mixed, and there were not all people with bad minds or ambitions. People's hearts were in the belly, and it was all bad things that he could say.
I can guarantee that there is no such person. After all, the human heart is so difficult to fathom.
"Forget it, it's useless to ask. You can't guarantee anything. After all, people's hearts are separated from each other, and some people look like dogs. It's hard to say what they do in private." Zhu Houcong shook his head.
I feel like there should be some. Although I don’t know who and how many there are, there must be bad people. God knows what they are thinking. Maybe they feel that the Han people are inferior.
Zhu Houcong had no doubt that there was such a rotten person, because there must be one. The collar was so big that there were no birds. It was normal for the Ming Dynasty to have a few traitors. It would be strange if he was not there.
"Your Majesty, don't think too much. After all, this is just your Majesty's guess. What if there is no such thing?" Yang Tinghe couldn't say anything. Everyone has different ideas. Besides, this time His Majesty let some people eat such a big meal.
Unfortunately, there will be any kind of revenge in the future. Even if he doesn't say it, His Majesty must know better than him.
"Haha, you also said it was just in case. Forget it, forget it. I have asked Qi Jingtong to lead the troops. I am not afraid of someone doing something weird, just afraid that he will not fight. I am ready. After all, it is a new army, so we still have to
I have experienced war." There was a sneer on Zhu Houcong's lips. I have moved my troops, horses, food and grass, and prepared secret weapons. I plan to fight a war after emptying my family. It would be bad if there is no movement.
Compared with Zhu Houcong's full confidence, Yang Tinghe is not so optimistic. After all, there is no one who can't die in a war. Qi Jingtong's army has been established for less than a year. Although it has taken over the previous three battalions, it is hard to say how much combat strength it has.
Well, now we really have to fight. It would be better if we win, but what if we lose?
Furthermore, if the troops are out, what will happen to the capital? Once fighting breaks out outside and exposes the emptiness of the capital, it will be hard to say. I am afraid there will be civil strife. Then there will be internal and external troubles, no matter which side.
If something goes wrong, it will inevitably lead to a total collapse.
"Your Majesty, once a war starts, it's hard to say. After all, once a war starts, the people will suffer. And once a war starts, if we lose, the defenses around the capital will be empty. If the Tatars march straight in..."
Yang Tinghe has to say what should be said. In fact, to be honest, the geographical location of Beijing is not very good. When Chengzu moved there, it was for the convenience of fighting. However, later on, the Ming army gradually became weak and it felt like being beaten in Beijing. Naturally, it would be a win.
There was a lot of laughter, but if we lost the fight, we would really have no choice but to run away in a hurry.
"Right, even you think so. In fact, I don't want to fight. I also want peaceful and stable development, but it doesn't work. There are always some monsters and monsters who want to jump out. If I win this battle, there will be nothing to say inside or outside the DPRK.
He said, I can calm down for a long time later." Zhu Houxuan was right, fighting has its advantages. After all, the Ming Dynasty has been weak for a long time, and a simple victory can stabilize the morale of the army and also deter Xiaoxiao.
"What if we lose?" Anyway, Yang Tinghe didn't answer. Even if he beat me 90% of the time, he wouldn't want to fight. If he won, he would just stop for a few years. If he lost, it would be different.
Zhu Houcong looked at Yang Tinghe with a half-smile, and said softly: "Do you know how much the Beijing Camp's annual military expenditure is?"
"It should be a lot, but I don't know the exact amount. After all, it is the internal treasury's account." Yang Tinghe shook his head. He really didn't know much, but he had heard a lot.
"The army of 250,000 has cost me five million taels in less than a year. It took only a few months to recruit hundreds of thousands, but it will be like ten million in a year.
Tell me, if we lose here, it’s up to me to run away or not. What does Qi Jingtong do for food?” Zhu Houcong sneered, even if he didn’t have any wealth, Qi Jingtong probably wouldn’t lose. He just wanted to kill fewer people and fight well.
Just a little.
"How come there are so many?" Yang Tinghe was shocked. Come on, military expenditures are usually only a few hundred thousand a year, but during wars they are only a million. Now it's better, one year is comparable to the previous twenty years.
Your Majesty is too willing to spend money on military expenditures.
"How much? It's not much. Yang Shen has spent more than 20 million on me. Do you think I make money just to make money? There are so many places for me to spend money. Those soldiers can eat meat every day as long as they behave well. If they don't
If you have some skills and are destroyed by the Tatars as soon as possible, I will form another one."
Zhu Houcong waved his hand. Although the training time is short, it is intense and well-trained. You may suffer some losses in the first battle, but you will get better after seeing blood later. Zhu Houcong is confident.
