The eldest son of the red mansion

Immediately, a little eunuch brought a small table case nearby. Xia Shouzhong took a blank imperial edict from the emperor's imperial case, spread it out on the small desk, dipped it in ink, and waited for the emperor to speak.

"Minister of Military Aircraft, Zuodu Censor Shi Tianye was appointed as the imperial envoy, and went south to Lianghuai area to help the victims. Yuantong officials were at his disposal. If there were any disrespectful officials below the third rank, they would be killed first and then played. Officials above the third rank would be temporarily removed from their posts to wait for the court to deal with them."

After the emperor finished speaking, Xia Shouzhong also finished writing.Then Xia Shouzhong took the imperial decree and came to the emperor to ask him to have a look.

Chapter 415 Determination

The emperor took Xia Shouzhong's hand, and even looked at it carefully, and found that there was nothing wrong.Then he said to Xia Shouzhong: "Use the seal."

Xia Shouzhong spread the imperial decree on the emperor's imperial case, and then took out a jade seal from a mahogany box next to it.Standing in the inkpad and covering the imperial decree.

The emperor saw that Xia Shouzhong had finished, so he said to Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu below: "The imperial decree has been written, Tian Aiqing, you can take it."

After the emperor finished saying this, Xia Shouzhong held it in his hands, and even came to Zuodu Censor Tianye to hold the imperial decree high.

Zuodu Censor Tianye knelt down on the ground and received the imperial edict.Then dare to stand up.

Then the emperor warned: "Tian Aiqing, your matter is very important this time. You must be careful, and don't spoil the important matter."

Tian Ye quickly replied: "This time I will go, I will be loyal to my duty, and will never let down the trust of the emperor."

The emperor nodded, then waved his hands to let the five go down.The five military ministers sat together and knelt down again, and left the Dongnuan Pavilion.

As soon as Liu Yu came out of Dongnuan Pavilion, he said to Jia Ke: "Master Jia, Mr. Tian's matter is urgent now. Mr. Jia must hurry up and prepare troops, otherwise it will be bad if we delay the time."

Jia Ke looked at Liu Yu in front of her and was very annoyed. This Liu Yu was flying around in front of her like a fly, constantly disgusting herself.

"Lord Liu, don't worry, I still know the priorities. The 7000 people will definitely be ready to go tomorrow." Jia Ke said expressionlessly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Master Jia's good news." Liu Yu felt that he had won for a while today, and his tone became a little excited.If things go on like this, Jia Ke's troops in the capital will be completely wiped out soon, and then it's time to take action against this powerful minister who has no king in his eyes.Thinking of this, I became a little elated.

Seeing his excited look, Jia Ke couldn't get angry, "Master Liu, I advise you to exercise some self-control, and don't be overwhelmed with joy. Don't treat me, Jia Ke, as a fool."

"Besides, human patience has a limit. Master Liu should take care of himself. Otherwise, if he accidentally falls off his horse, his life may not be guaranteed."

Jia Ke's words are already a naked threat. Although today's situation is going according to Jia Ke's expectation, and the emperor believes more and more that the Imperial Guards are his reliable protection, but compared with them today, Jia Ke is also angry Yes, if I don't send it out now, I'm afraid I will hold it in my heart and feel uncomfortable.

Jia Ke left the Hall of Mental Cultivation directly after saying this, and left the palace gate without going back to the military plane.

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Liu Yu was shocked.He knew that Jia Ke was really annoyed this time. He had been targeting Jia Ke all these days, but he didn't think that Jia Ke was still a teenager. If he got angry, it would be troublesome to ignore it.It seems that in the next period of time, we need to persuade the emperor not to continue to attack Jia Ke, but to be patient for a while before we talk.

At this time, Tian Ye, who was walking at the back, saw the two of them like this, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. It was hard work on the surface for him to go south, and who knew that it was a blessing in disguise.

The two factions are now fighting fiercely, and in Tian Ye's view, the result is about to come, because the two factions have no patience.I went to disaster relief this time, and when I came back, the results had already been produced.I just happen to be a fisherman and benefit from it, so I can't offend either side.

At this time, old Meng Ming seemed to be in a state of confusion, but in fact, he was constantly analyzing the powerful relationship in his heart like lightning.He now knows that he has reached the point of final decision, as before, I am afraid that neither side will see each other again.

Old Meng Ming has always been an upright character all his life, but after he became the Minister of Military Affairs for a period of time, he became more tactful. It was only because he had not tasted the taste of power at that time, so he was able to judge fairly.

But now that Meng Ming has tasted the honey of power, it is so easy to let it go, so he has lost his sense of normalcy, completely lost his original appearance, and now he only thinks about how to maintain his power.

Sun Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, still has a gentle smile on his face, as if he is harmless to humans and animals, but who knows that he is the dagger hidden behind the scenes, just waiting for the fatal stab at the critical moment .

Jia Ke left Miyagi and went directly to the infantry commander's yamen.Today's incident sounded the alarm for him. The emperor was thinking about weakening his power all the time. If he endured any longer, he would be slowly killed by the emperor like a frog boiled in warm water.

Jia Ke has now made up her mind and will not wait any longer.This time, he was going to find Fan Kang, and asked him to give him advice and let him take control of the court as soon as possible.

As for the kindness of the Supreme Emperor, it is not worth mentioning in front of his own life and the fate of the family.

After his success, at most, he could give the Supreme Emperor a good death, which can be regarded as repaying him. As for the rest, he might not be able to give it to him, so he shouldn't want it either.

By the time Jia Ke arrived at the Yamen of the Infantry Commander, Fan Kang had already finished his official duties for the day, and was drinking tea and sipping refreshments there, enjoying himself.

When Fan Kang saw Jia Ke coming in, he was also shocked. He saw Jia Ke's face was full of anger, and his eyes were shining coldly, as if he wanted to choose someone to kill.

"My lord, what's wrong with you, who made you lose your temper?"

"Liu Yu, I'm going to tear him into pieces sooner or later." Jia Ke's anger still lingered.

Then Jia Ke put Liu Yu in trouble with him everywhere during this time, and the emperor also cooperated with Liu Yu to weaken his military power.Said it to Fan Kang again.

At the same time, he said to Fan Kang: "Just now we received an urgent request from the Lianghuai area for [-] miles, saying that there was a flood in the Lianghuai area, which flooded more than a dozen counties and affected millions of victims."

Fan Kang's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, "My lord, I don't know how the court will deal with it."

"What else can I do? The emperor ordered the Ministry of Households to send 200 million dans of grain, and Zuodu Yushi Tianye, as the imperial envoy, led eight thousand troops to the disaster relief."

When Jia Ke said this, he remembered what happened today when the emperor weakened his military power.

"Mr. Fan, I've made up my mind, I won't wait any longer, and I will be in power within this year." Jia Ke said through gritted teeth.

"My lord, you just don't come to see me. I'll get news of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River in a few days, so I'll make a suggestion to my lord. This year is a great opportunity for my lord to gain power." Fan Kang said with a serious face.

"What does Mr. Fan mean? Tell me carefully."

"My lord, do you think that such a flood in the south of the Yangtze River can be survived with 200 million grains?"

Jia Ke thought for a while and said, "This is only used to appease the victims in the early stage, but if they want to resettle the victims completely, there is no food of 500 million yuan, and 400 million taels of silver, which cannot overcome this hurdle."

"It seems that the lord knows what's in his heart. It's just like this. If the court still had money and grain in previous years, this disaster would be nothing. But this year is just catching up. The grain storage roads are all empty, and grain is the biggest thing." Difficulties." Fan Kang pointed out the current difficulties of the court in one sentence.

"How do you know that the imperial court's grain depot is empty? I think at least half of the grain is still in the depot. King Zhongshun donated nearly 500 million dans of grain to the Ministry of Households. Just this time, some of it was transported away. There should be more in the depot. Some of them can be used as first aid." Jia Ke saw that the emperor looked confident this morning.After all, he didn't know the situation of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now that the emperor must have grain in the warehouse, he didn't panic.

"My lord, I'm afraid you don't know that you have been busy with official duties during this period. King Zhongshun has taken out all the money in the mansion during this period, and purchased nearly 500 million dans of grain in the south of the Yangtze River. Daoist, but this is not what he is willing to do, if there is no emperor's persecution, and the loyal king is not a virtuous minister and filial son, how can he give his family wealth to the emperor for help."

"There is such a thing?" Jia Ke has indeed been a little slack during this period of time. Since Jia Ke returned to the capital, she has been accompanied by a beautiful woman, lived in a mansion and beautiful mansion, and was accompanied by soldiers and servants when she went in and out. In the gentle township, I can't extricate myself.

"My lord, because of this matter, King Zhongshun probably hates my lord to death now. If my lord hadn't proposed to send 150 million dans of grain to Beijing, I'm afraid the matter of storing grain and rice would not have been released, and he wouldn't have to be forced by the emperor. Send out these 500 million dans of grain."

Jia Ke now understands where the emperor's food comes from?This was obtained by blackmailing King Zhongshun.It's not as good as the emperor said, it was donated voluntarily by King Zhongshun.

"How can the food in the household department be enough for the victims in the Lianghuai area, let alone the drought in Shaanxi in a few months, if it doesn't ease and there will be millions of victims, what do you think the court will do?"

Fan Kang was also a little worried about these victims. Although he knew that this was a great opportunity for Jia Ke, he still couldn't bear it.

"I'm afraid the emperor will have to raise taxes or release money from the internal treasury to calm the incident." Jia Ke said with a frown. In his previous life, he was also the lowest level of the people, so he naturally knew the difficulties of the people's lives.If the emperor raised taxes by one point, those corrupt officials could increase taxes by ten points.

As for the removal of the inner treasury silver, Jia Ke just said that, judging by today's appearance, the emperor is also stingy, and it is very difficult to get him to pay attention.In the end, the matter of money has to fall on ordinary people.

"If the emperor raises taxes, he will definitely lose the hearts of the people in the world. Wouldn't the lord get twice the result with half the effort?" Fan Kang finally revealed his plan. Disaster.Some time ago, they planned to let the emperor's financial resources dry up, but now it seems to be whimsical.

After listening to Fan Kang's words, Jia Ke was like waking up from a dream. The disaster in the world was a disaster for the emperor, but it was a godsend opportunity for Jia Ke.

As long as the emperor is in a state of desperation and loses the hearts of the people in the world, he will look better in the end when he seizes the throne.

Seeing that Jia Ke was getting carried away, Fan Kang quickly reminded, "My lord, it's better not to ascend the throne right away."

Just as Jia Ke was thinking of winning the throne this year and ruling the world, he didn't expect Fan Kang's words to bring him back to reality.
