The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 908 Contradictions
Faced with the conditions given by the emperor, Cheng Wenguang actually had no choice at all.

Now that Zhao Yanxun is in charge of the country, all matters big and small are decided by him, and the courtiers are just tool people who follow the order.

The formulation of a new taxation system will inevitably infringe on the interests of all people in the world, which will attract great hostility to executive officials.

The intensity of these hostilities is not weaker than the investigation of Tianmu itself.

"I receive the decree!" Cheng Wenguang knelt down, and then paid respects solemnly.

Seeing that he was about to go to the execution ground, Zhao Yanxun smiled and said: "Cheng Qing, don't worry too much. Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have to go through trials and tribulations. You will be in charge of the cabinet for me in the future, and you must be able to withstand the current tribulations!"

With just one sentence, Zhao Yanxun painted a cake for Cheng Wenguang.

The chief assistant of the cabinet is the head of all officials, which is already the highest honor of civil servants, how could Cheng Wenguang have no idea.

"The minister must be ashamed to repay the emperor's favor!"

"Cheng Qing, get up..."

After Cheng Wenguang got up, Zhao Yanxun said again: "There are poems in the predecessors, but they have solved the affairs of the king and the world, and won the name in life and death..."

"Nowadays, the world is undergoing great changes, and it is time to display your ambitions and make your name go down in history. Don't miss this rare opportunity, Qing!"

Not only the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhao Yanxun also took out the opportunity to be famous in history, and this attraction directly increased.

"I will live up to the emperor's kindness!" Cheng Wenguang said solemnly.

Zhao Yanxun has become more and more comfortable with the skill of painting cakes.

He painted cakes for Wang Tinghe and Xie Xiaofang, and promised that they could retire safely after completing their errands...

For the generals in the army, he also lured them with titles, so that they can maintain their courage to fight...

"Okay, Cheng Qing, you go, I'm waiting for you to come up with a plan!" Zhao Yanxun smiled back.

"Sir, let's do it now!"

But when Cheng Wenguang was about to leave, Zhao Yanxun said again: "Qing lacks helpers in the court and the place, and the students of Guozijian are useful. You can choose a few capable ones to serve as your arms!"

Now among the four bachelors in the cabinet, Cheng Wenguang has the lowest qualifications. Zhao Yanxun is helping him build power.

"The minister takes orders!"

Then Cheng Wenguang left, the conversation between the two of them didn't take long, and Tiya only shot two arrows.

It was rare for him to give himself half a day off today, so Zhao Yanxun returned to the field and continued to teach Tiya how to shoot.

But after lunch, Zhao Yanxun went out to the palace to check the treasury of the household department.

In this day and age, grain is the hardest currency, and the grain collected after the autumn harvest has now arrived in Beijing one after another.

The storage and transshipment of these grains is undoubtedly the most important work, and Zhao Yanxun has to go to see it in person to be at ease.

During the lunch period, Zhao Yanxun went to Yufu Palace to eat, talked with Lin Jingyu and also looked at his youngest son.

But when Zhao Yanxun was out of the palace, the sergeant had already made a fuss at a certain forbidden army station in Tianshan County thousands of miles away.

"It's steamed buns every day, and now even pickles are scarce. What do those civil servants mean?"

"The diet standard set by the emperor has been so harsh until now. The Northwest Governor's Office surnamed Luo is too much!"

In the camp, soldiers of the Imperial Army complained loudly because of the recent reduction in dietary standards.

There is no doubt that, as the most powerful army of the Jin Dynasty, the food standard of the Imperial Army is very high.

White flour steamed buns are the basic food. According to regulations, they have soup and meat every day, but now they are in short supply.

The soldiers could bear with the loss of meat and eggs. After all, they could hunt by themselves, but now that the pickles were gone, that would really make them angry.

Soon, more and more soldiers made troubles, and finally went directly to their Qianhu.

"My lord, you have to seek justice for the brothers!"

"That's right, those civil servants are too bullying..."

"Those who live in the city have everything to eat and drink, but we have to suffer..."

The last sentence immediately attracted everyone's agreement. They didn't worry about scarcity but inequality.

The guards were stationed in Wupu, while the imperial guards lived in the wilderness outside the city, and they had to take the initiative to go north to attack the western barbarians, and their responsibilities were much heavier.

"Or simply, let's live in the city and let those people from the guard go to the Western Man!"

Seeing his subordinates getting more and more noisy, Qian Hu Zhang Shi's face became gloomy, and he only heard him scold: "Shut up!"

As an old man in the palace, Zhang Shi was promoted by virtue of his meritorious service. He has a very high prestige in the army.

So when he roared out, all the soldiers in front fell silent.

"I will report this matter to Commander Fang, and everyone will go back!"

The crowd didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. Now that Zhang Shi had given an explanation, the soldiers stopped pestering them and retreated one by one.

After his subordinates retreated, Zhang Shi immediately sent a messenger and told him to find the commander Fang Sheng.

Regardless of whether the Northwest Governor's Office was negligent or biased, Zhang Shi could not directly talk to him, saying that he could only report the matter.

In fact, during this period of time, the troops of the Imperial Army were frequently mobilized, and the communication with the Governor's Office was relatively weak, which led to the occurrence of wrong or missing supplies.

It's just that this point can only be discovered after a comprehensive understanding of the situation.

However, the ministries of the Forbidden Army and the Northwest Governor's Office are now misunderstood.

In addition to the problem of material allocation, the imperial army also felt that there was a problem with the defense of Tianshan County, but the latter's governor's office completely ignored it.

From the point of view of the Governor's Office, the imperial guards are domineering and rude, and they don't say whether to leave or stay. It is as difficult as heaven to guarantee supplies.

There are many conflicts between the two sides, if Zhao Yanxun is not suppressing them, the two would have impeached each other long ago.

After receiving the news, Fang Sheng almost died of anger, so he directly sent someone to the governor's office to question.

Xu Hong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army. It stands to reason that Fang Sheng should report this matter to Xu Hong first, but Fang Sheng had no such idea at all.

In the final analysis, the generals of the Forbidden Army who have the merits of following the dragon and commanding strong soldiers are all a bit pampered in nature, and they are not convinced by each other.

Discord between generals is a good thing for the rule, but it is dangerous in wartime.

Today's incident was originally caused by pickles, but when Fang Sheng questioned the Governor's Office, it immediately attracted the Governor's Office's questioning.

Lauren has always had a good temper, but he couldn't bear the indulgence of the imperial guards today.

For example, he listed all the conflicts in the past, and then directly sent them to the capital by "phone".

To put it simply, Roren impeached the imperial guards stationed in the northwest.

As the commander of the imperial army and the emperor's confidants, Xu Hong and others were not idle, and also sent news to the capital, making the "difficulties" and "bullying" of the Governor's Office to the surface.

The conflict between the Forbidden Army and the Northwest Governor's Office was a major event. For this reason, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War communicated with each other.

The result of the ventilation was that the matter had to be dealt with by the emperor, so they all went to Qian'an Palace.

However, Zhao Yanxun went out of the palace today.

"This matter cannot be delayed, you and I have to go out of the city to see the emperor immediately!" said Chen Anming, the left envoy of the Privy Council.

Standing aside, Zeng Changsong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, nodded. This is indeed a great event.

Who would have thought that the most important thing in the northwest, so many conflicts had accumulated between the Forbidden Army and the Governor's Office.

The two dared not delay, and after asking the eunuch for Zhao Yanxun's location, the two immediately found a carriage and drove out of the city.

There is a granary in the household department outside the city, which is a newly built granary.

Building the granary outside the city shows Zhao Yanxun's confidence in safety.

At this moment, he was standing above the granary, looking through the window at the piles of grain inside.
