Chapter 66
It was only after these people came out that they discovered each other, which was a bit embarrassing for a while.But it's all out, so it doesn't matter.The person at the front was also the one with the highest rank, so he shouted: "Liu Mao, don't you hear that Su Song has given a lot of praise?"

Then he turned to Hu Guang, spoke loudly, and said righteously: "Your Majesty, I think that Liu Mao is very selfish, and his heart can be punished!"

"Your Majesty, I'm seconding the proposal!" Then one person followed suit: "Jiangnan is a place where the imperial court pays a lot of taxes, and the taxes are far higher than those in the north. If the increase in distribution is not fair, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will be overwhelmed, and there will be a civil uprising, which will have a far-reaching impact. In the land of the north!"

"Both the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty are His Majesty's subjects, I beg your Majesty to treat them equally!" Others followed suit.

In the original history, because there were far more southerners than northerners among the officials, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called superficially fair method of increasing the number of acres was implemented, which further increased the burden on the northern farmers.

Liu Mao was attacked by them, and his face turned red with anger. He aimed his eyes at Cao Yubian, the left capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was also from the north, but he was like a clay bodhisattva, and he didn't respond at all. He couldn't help being very disappointed. , I know that there are many people in Jin Dynasty doing business, and Tian Fu is already a trivial matter in their eyes.In desperation, he had no choice but to wait for the holy order.

But Hu Guang didn't speak immediately, just glanced down, and then asked: "What's the idea of ​​the Ministry of Household Affairs and the cabinet?"

Bi Ziyan originally thought that he would follow the old rules and send per mu. I don't know why Liu Mao brought up this matter again. Could it be that the emperor will listen to you?
When he was about to say something, Zhou Yanru, a cabinet assistant in the front row, came out and heard him play: "Your Majesty, no matter what method of increasing the number of people, or how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, it is a difficult problem in the past. The minister thinks, You can't do without a head, and a bird without wings can't fly, and now that the position of chief assistant in the cabinet is vacant, it is better to appoint the chief assistant first, and then let the chief assistant take the lead in discussing it!"

According to the usual practice, if the first assistant in the cabinet is vacant, the second assistant will enter.Of course, the second assistant will be served by the next and earliest assistant minister who joined the cabinet.Zhou Yanru brought up this matter because he wanted to go one step further and move forward a few steps.

Of course, it was Cheng Jiming who benefited the most from this, but he couldn't come up to talk about it himself, so he secretly reached a tacit agreement with Zhou Yanru, and Zhou Yanru would raise the matter.

As soon as he finished speaking, many people among the civil servants immediately agreed with the proposal, and put aside the argument just now.

Hu Guang looked at all this coldly, despite their generous statement that there was no danger from the chief assistant, he did not speak.

Cao Yubian, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also came out and said, "I think that the former chief assistant is in his prime, and it is inappropriate to resign his old age and return to his hometown. Please consider it at your discretion and allow him to do his best for our Ming Dynasty." .”

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Cheng Qinan, the envoy of the administration, came out and played loudly.

Almost at the same time, several other people followed suit, and for a while, it seemed that Han Yu was really expected to make a comeback.

In this way, some people quit.Then he suggested to the emperor that in this case, Li Biao, the second assistant, should also come back.

Apart from these two factions, there were naturally some people who were not convinced, and expressed their thoughts one after another, saying that this was unfair, and that it was only fair to have the courtiers recommend it.

At this moment, it seems that the cold wind in this square is not so cold. The crowd is passionate and attack each other, which is more lively than the vegetable market in later generations, which is different from the desertedness of offering advice and suggestions for the filling of the national treasury at the beginning.

The silent whip sounded with a "crack", reminding all the civil servants that there was still an emperor sitting on it.

At the same time, in the military tent of Jianlu camp in Tongzhou, Jianlu big and small Baylor, Beizi and others gathered together. In the middle of the main seat, three people sat side by side with Shuo Baylor, listening to a man who was kneeling in front of them. Jianlu, who made Han clothes, reported.

"Since I entered the capital, I have discovered that the city's defenses are extremely weak. Apart from piled up some rolling logs and stones, even the most basic defenses are rare." Obai reported excitedly, "And the city's defense chief will be full of Guihe. Li Fengxiang, the admiral of the Beijing camp, was at odds with each other, and when the servant went, I happened to see him arguing!"

All the leaders of Jianlu beside him became excited when they heard it, and some of them even took a few steps forward, getting closer to listen without knowing it.

"The guards at the top of the city are weak, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty asked the ministers and wealthy households in the city to contribute money and people to strengthen the city defense. On the way the slave was taken to prison, he saw the Dongchang fanzi and those ministers and wealthy households arguing... "

"Haha, good, good!" Hearing this, Mang Gurtai couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted loudly, "The city defense is already empty, and there are civil strife, what a god-given opportunity!"

"The third one is calm, don't be impatient, and listen again!" Dai Shan said with a smile as the boss when he saw it.

Mang Gurtai was in a good mood, he didn't take it seriously, he just laughed and said to Ao Bai: "Say it quickly!"

"..." Aobai continued to talk about the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and then emphasized, "It was dark at that time, when the slaves and others rushed out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, they saw the city burning into the sky. It is said that the granary was flooded."

"I dare not stay here. After finding the Yongchang ticket office, the shopkeeper explained that the emperor had dismissed the first assistant and second assistant. Now the capital is in chaos. It is said that the ministers of the country are all planning to grab the first assistant's position." Obai After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and knelt down.

This time, Huang Taiji didn't wait for Mang Gurtai to speak, and immediately praised loudly: "Well done, I didn't disappoint this Khan's arrangement!"

The implication is to express to the Jianlu leaders present that he is wise and powerful, and he has anticipated this and made arrangements.But it is true, Oboi is his bodyguard, he is the one who arranged to go to the capital.

At this moment, it doesn't matter what effect the peace letter will have, and no one pays attention to it.

After Huang Taiji praised Oboi, he immediately stood up and ordered loudly: "Ben Khan ordered the army to move out immediately, following the will of heaven, and take the capital of the Ming Dynasty!"

Those leaders of Jianlu had already heard it, and they immediately responded with a bang, wishing to fly to the capital of the Ming Dynasty immediately.In their view, the defense of the capital city is not only weak, but also causing civil strife. Under such circumstances, taking the capital is as easy as picking something out of a pocket!

Mang Gurtai originally wanted to issue orders, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Huang Taiji, and then everyone agreed noisily, and they were all ready to go.Seeing this situation, he stared at Huang Taiji's profile, feeling very displeased, feeling as if he had eaten a fly.

Not long after, on the top of Tongzhou City, the scripture commentary with red eyes because he had not had a good rest, stared dumbfounded at the Jianlu army leaving the camp outside the city: "Jianlu was in a hurry to attack the city yesterday, why did he suddenly leave today? Isn't all previous work wasted?"

When he saw that the direction of Jianlu's army leaving was the direction of the capital, he immediately understood Jianlu's purpose.Now, he didn't know what to do?In desperation, he sent someone to report to Shanhaiguan urgently, and Mr. Sun Ge made a decision.

And at the foot of the capital city, a large group of King Qin's defeated soldiers were about to enter the city loudly.
