?Jiang Bing's case unexpectedly began to dig deeper. The more the case was tried, the more frightening it was. It involved the vassal kings, not to mention the most powerful vassal kings in the world. It can be said that Jiang Bing
Many of the things that were told were related to King Ning's rebellion. Even if the court wants to punish him, King Ning would probably die without a burial. .
The problem is that King Ning is not a good-for-nothing lamp. The palace suddenly wants to investigate the case. What if King Ning is anxious and jumped over the wall?
The current situation is indeed worrying. After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he repeatedly suppressed the vassal kings, but he was extremely generous to King Ning. When Emperor Wen was in trouble, King Ning brought Duoyan's three guards to respond. Emperor Wen once said to King Ning.
Swearing, he said that once things were done, he would like to share the world with King Ning. However, Emperor Wen later reneged on his promise. However, because of his guilt towards King Ning, he was granted the title of King Ning.
The number of guards is the largest. Among the vassal kings in the world, the richest one is King Ning, and the most powerful one in the fiefdom is King Ning. It is precisely because of this that after so many years, King Ning has become a big one.
The root of the disaster.
In fact, the imperial court had not known what King Ning had done in Jiangxi before, but had just turned a blind eye to it. Such things cannot be controlled. If they are controlled, they will have to compete against each other, and may even lead to unrest. On this issue
The cabinet ministers of all generations have adopted this approach, not because they are afraid of things or because they are afraid of bad things.
However, such a policy of tolerance finally went bankrupt. Jiang Bing spoke out bluntly. King Ning's charges had already surfaced, deceiving the emperor and instigating the assassination of ministers, making friends with Hanlin, and making ill-intent. Any charge here is enough to make
King Ning was disgraced.
But the question is, will King Ning surrender?
Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, was very angry. What exactly did the palace want to do? There are rumors in the palace that the emperor is seriously ill. Should we really be prepared for war at this time? In fact, in the past two years, we have to say that we will fight the court.
Don't be afraid. After all, the treasury is abundant now, and it can be maintained if it is really overturned. The most important thing is that if you want to fight, you have to be prepared. The new army has not been trained well and the border army cannot be mobilized. There are still many places in the world
The total number of military horses in many garrisons is also quite large, and there are as many as one million records alone. However, Liu Daxia knew in his heart that the number of people who made the book was one thing, and how many are really different.
It would be good if half of the number of registered people, and the military's combat power is so low that it is outrageous and it will collapse at once. It would be a joke to rely on them to suppress the rebellion.
On that day, Liu Daxia put on a memorial. He wanted to suppress this matter, but he passed it in, but there was no reply at all. Later, he received the news that His Majesty was seriously ill and could no longer take the matter.
, so... the memorial is kept.
Suddenly, Liu Daxia was stunned. Not only was he stunned. The cabinet had already started to ask people to discuss matters. There were actually not many people participating in the meeting, that is, the cabinet and the ministers of each department. In addition, there were also
Even the prince participated in the audition, it is said that even the commander of the Jinyiwei, Liu Chengfeng, would come.
Liu Daxia arrived at the cabinet angrily. Everyone who was supposed to come had arrived. Zhu Houzhao sat in the first place, with Liu Jian on the left, and Li Dongyang and Xie Qian below. What made Liu Daxia feel most uncomfortable was the one sitting on the right.
In person, on the right side of Zhu Houzhao, Liu Chengfeng was sitting, followed by Ma Wensheng and several Shangshus.
Zhu Houzhao was whispering to Liu Chengfeng at this time, while the others were sitting in a dangerous position. Liu Daxia was very unhappy. Who was the commander of the Jinyiwei, and he dared to sit in the first place. He was the Minister of Personnel, but he actually sat in the Jinyiwei.
What does the commander mean?
Liu Daxia also knew in his heart that the arrangement of this seat was probably decided by the prince. The prince and Liu Chengfeng had always had a good relationship. He might have called Liu Chengfeng warmly to the side to sit, but this
It is a cabinet, not a private occasion. The prince is the crown prince, and he cannot act according to his personal likes and dislikes.
Liu Daxia seemed depressed, but had to find a seat to sit down. He first glanced at Liu Jian. Liu Jian was not showing any sign of dew. Seeing that everyone was coming, Liu Jian coughed and then spoke:
"All people have come. Your Majesty cannot preside over the morning of this morning, so there are some things that everyone has to gather ideas and discuss together. His Royal Highness is here today, so let the Prince listen carefully to the affairs."
Liu Jian made the matter clear in one sentence and asked everyone to come to discuss major events. As for the prince, he was just obeying the government and did not express any opinions.
There was nothing wrong with Liu Jian's words, but Liu Chengfeng felt that Liu Jian's words were said to him, as if he was afraid that the prince would instigate him to make a random decision after hearing this, so he directly put the prince aside.
Zhu Houzhao, a person who was not very scheming, couldn't hear what Liu Jian said, but Liu Chengfeng could not help but raise his eyebrows, but just smiled slightly.
Liu Jian continued to speak, "Just now, I and Binzhi, Yu Qiao and others entered the palace to see the emperor. The emperor is seriously ill. Oh... As ministers, we are certainly worried, but now we are not.
The more you feel bad about your Majesty, the more important thing we are to share your worries, rather than just being sad. Therefore, calling everyone here is to discuss it carefully. The first thing we want to discuss today is still flooding.
The Yangtze River in Henan flooded, flooding thirteen counties, with the number of people affected by the disaster reaching 200,000. What do you think?”
The Minister of Revenue Ye Qi said, "The officials thought that there was no need to discuss this matter any more."
Ye Qi was also a famous minister in the Hongzhi Dynasty and was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Jingtai. He was first appointed as the censor. He was later released and served as the magistrate of Wuzhi and the governor of Datong. After Hongzhi succeeded to the throne, he was appointed as the Minister of Revenue for nearly two years.
He was promoted to the Minister of Revenue. In addition, he also had a prominent identity, that is, the Prince Taibao.
Therefore, Ye Qi's weight in speaking is also very important here. In addition to the cabinet minister, he is considered the third person after Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia. He stroked his beard and shook his head and said, "In the past, a certain place was hit by disaster, and the court repeatedly discussed why.
?It's just a discussion on how to rescue disasters. The court needs to allocate food and salary. For this discussion, people often talk about it. To put it bluntly, this is because of the insufficient treasury. But now it is different. The treasury is abundant now, and there is no way the court cannot allocate funds.
Situation. Therefore, the officials believed that in the future, the court did not need to spread the disaster relief matters and discuss it. Rescue should be saved, so naturally, the money should be distributed as much as possible. It is only reasonable to transport the food to the disaster area first.
As for settlement matters, we can wait until after the disaster to settle, so that we can avoid delaying the disaster relief. Although the loss will be greater, the livelihood of the people is the most important."
His words were immediately recognized by many people, and even Liu Jian couldn't help but say: "Yes, this is a good way to benefit the country and the people."
Ye Qi smiled and said, "Liu Gong praised me."
To put it bluntly, he turned disaster relief into a mechanism. The reason why he always quarreled about disaster relief was that there was no money in the treasury and no clever wife. As a result, everyone revolved around whether they should be rescued. So what if they should be saved?
Discussion on the issue of saving. But now, the court now has money. With money, there is naturally no question of how to save it or not. In the future, whenever there is disaster, we will directly transfer money and food to provide relief as quickly as possible
That is, if there is too much money or food allocation, or other problems, you can wait until the disaster is relieved before dealing with it. This will indeed not delay disaster relief, but it will also cost a lot.
Liu Jian said: "Since that's the case, the Ministry of Revenue will first follow this charter and directly allocate money and grain. But then again, the allocation will be allocated, but it is still necessary to settle the accounts after the autumn. Otherwise, the local officials will be insatiable and will only encourage them to erode.
The Treasury and the Ministry of Revenue have to keep a close eye on the money while distributing money.”
Ye Qi nodded: "Yes."
Liu Jian coughed and said, "The second thing I discussed today is King Ning's business."
When we talked about this, coughing sounds suddenly came from the duty room. Everyone knows that the highlight is coming.
Zhu Houzhao suddenly became excited and was not interested in disaster relief. However, under the influence of Liu Chengfeng, Zhu Houzhao was always thinking about Ning Wangke. He sat upright and looked at Liu Chengfeng.
At first glance, he saw Liu Chengfeng's face was solemn, and he was confused. He wanted to ask Master Liu why he was depressed, but he didn't ask too much, so he had to put this question in his heart.
"King Ning is very ruthless, especially since Jiang Bing's case has surfaced, it is even more terrifying. The meaning of the palace must be investigated to the end, but the court must make some preparations to accomplish it,
I am afraid that King Ning is anxious to jump over the wall, so this is what I want to discuss today, it’s better to be prepared or not."
After Liu Jiangang finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Qi and said, "If we really want to quell the rebellion, will the food and salary of the Ministry of Revenue be enough?"
Ye Qi nodded and said, "It's enough."
"What does it mean when it's enough? You have to give a correct word." Zhu Houzhao said with some dissatisfaction at this time. In his opinion, these ministers squandered this way when they were rescued, and they said that they only increased a little loss.
It would be enough to delay disaster relief. However, when it comes to suppressing the rebellion, it is vague. I have just become rich and powerful, but now I look stingy.
Liu Jian glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Highness can just follow the government. Military affairs are not a game for children. Lord Ye naturally dare not speak all the words."
