After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Everyone said hurriedly.

After listening to what everyone said, Emperor Wei was still angry and slapped the case. He swept everything on the table to the ground.

Pei Jiaoran raised his head carefully and saw a look of anger on Emperor Wei's face. Thinking of Emperor Wei's actions just now. She became more and more certain that the letter was indeed written by Huan Qi. Moreover, the reason why Huan Qi took action was not just because of her, but also because of the imperial court's plan to reduce vassalage. Jiang Ke, like her, supported the imperial court's reduction of vassalage.

Apart from the two of them, Emperor Wei was also the one who most wanted to cut down the vassal vassal and gather power to return to the imperial court. This assassination planned by Huan Qi obviously angered Emperor Wei.

Assassinating an important minister of the imperial court at the feet of the emperor, will he sneak into Tai Chi Palace and assassinate him tomorrow? How can we tolerate it? If the court tolerates this matter, isn't it telling those ambitious vassal towns that they can also follow the example of the three towns in Heshuo and separate their own regimes? The three towns of Heshuo may also revive and continue to form a separatist situation with the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Zhang finally spoke up and called for the palace servants to come forward and collect the things on the ground. He bowed beside Emperor Wei and said, "I beg you, please, not to be so angry because of a traitor like Huan Qi."

Pei Jiaoran sighed after listening to Zhang Rang's words.

Zhang Rang's words did not calm the emperor's anger. But he still sat down, picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"What suggestions do you have?" Emperor Wei asked coldly.

He was angry, but Emperor Wei did not become dizzy with anger. Once the war begins, a steady stream of wealth will be needed to support the imperial court's expedition. But right now, Zuo Shence is already fighting against the rebel Li Fu in eastern Zhejiang. Even if Right Shence is available, he must ensure that the imperial court has the financial support.

"Zuo Shence has already gone on an expedition. If we send more troops, I am afraid that public resentment will boil over. I think it is better to let Zuo Shence divide his troops and join forces with Huaixi troops to attack Huan Qi." Jia Gonglu was the first to speak.

As a victim, Pei Jiaoran quietly listened to Jia Gonglu's speech. From the perspective of the ruler, letting Zuo Shence divide his troops to attack Huan Qi is indeed the method with the least loss. However, Zuo Shence and Li Fu did not achieve much victory in the battle. A few days ago, they were defeated by the rebels in Sanxi, Shan County.

Judging from Zuo Shence's current strength, it is still unknown whether he can defeat Li Fu.

While Pei Jiaoran was thinking, the prince spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think you can let You Shence go on an expedition. Let the Huainan Jiedu envoy be recruited and dealt with. At the same time, we can recruit soldiers from Xuanwu, Yining, and Wuchang." The prince's voice was slow.

"Then I would like to ask Your Highness. After all the troops are sent out, who will pay for this huge expenditure? Now I am afraid that the court cannot pay this expenditure." Jia Gonglu glanced at Pei Jiaoran and said, "Pei Shangshu, the Ministry of Household Affairs can provide this money What?"

Pei Jiaoran, who was thinking, was called out of his thoughts by Jia Gonglu and glanced at the prince. He smiled and said, "Who said this money has to come from the Ministry of Household Affairs? The imperial court has regulations on eating out-of-boundary grain, but the imperial court also has difficulties. Now that the imperial court is in trouble, why can't the commanders of these feudal towns pay for it out of their own pockets? The imperial court I won’t treat them badly in the future.”

"But spring plowing is about to begin. Sending troops to conquer at this time will waste military strength, waste people and money." Jia Gonglu disapproved with eyes full of disapproval.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Today, it is not the imperial court that wants to fight, but Huan Qi himself. I heard that Huan Qi set up a private road to tax Xiaoyan, and Li Jizhen, a commoner in western Zhejiang, wrote a letter to expose his crime. But he was killed by him. The imperial court summoned him several times, but he refused on the grounds of illness, and now he sent people to assassinate the imperial officials. If he tolerated it any longer, wouldn't it make the local people think that the imperial court was conniving at his violent expropriation. Although spring plowing is about to begin, there is still time. If there is enough time, the imperial court can send out troops as early as possible. In theory, there is still enough time. The people must not be disturbed on the way, and the sergeants are not allowed to ride their horses on the seedlings. This can appropriately reduce the hidden dangers of the imperial court's expedition during the spring plowing period."

"In addition, we can also declare Huan Qi's crimes to the world and ensure that the imperial court's expedition is justifiable. For the imperial court, Huan Qi's killing of court ministers and arbitrary expropriation are already against the law. It is reasonable for the imperial court to send troops to conquer him. But Huan Qi's previous actions All show that he cannot sit still and wait for death, and will definitely use all forces to fight against the imperial court, which will make the people more resentful. But I feel that Huan Qi is just a mediocre person, and it is not difficult for the imperial court to defeat him."

Pei Jiaoran spoke with high spirits and bright eyes. It pointed out Jia Gonglu's concerns accurately and sharply, which was simply unnecessary for the court. Huan Qi's rebellion did not gain any rational advantage, and the imperial court's dispatch of troops was justified.

"Pei Shangshu said it lightly. Which of these feudal towns is good? Let them pay for it out of their own pockets. It is simply a fantasy." Zhang Rang rejected her idea.

"Since Zhang Jujue thinks that the commanders will not give this money, I think it is okay to have this money from the internal treasury." Pei Jiaoran smiled slightly, "This battle must be fought no matter what. Otherwise they dare to kill today Someone, maybe I will kill you one day."

According to regulations, Zhang Rang, as an eunuch, did not have the ability to directly participate in government affairs. But he still had the identity of a privy envoy. This status gave him the ability to participate in government affairs.

"I think Pei Shangshu's words are reasonable. Today Huan Qi dared to send people to assassinate important officials of the imperial court. If the imperial court did not do anything, wouldn't it mean that the imperial court is easy to bully? By then, the authority that the imperial court has worked hard to consolidate will be in vain." Cen Xi looked at it. He glanced at Emperor Wei, then squinted at Pei Jiaoran, and continued: "Of course we will fight, and it is unlikely that all the money will come from the feudal town. I think it is better to reduce the expenses of each department and office, and hide half of it from the left. Let the feudal town take care of the other half."

The four of them each held their own opinions. To sum up, we can fight. But it must be ensured that the court has enough money to support this expedition.

The palace fell into an eerie silence.

After a long silence, Emperor Wei sighed, "In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tried every means to collect money for military expenses in order to conquer the Xiongnu. He fought for many years, which made the people resentful, and finally wrote the "Luntai Sinner Edict". He ordered Huan Qi to be It's my fault, Commander-in-Chief, but I don't want to cause suffering to the people of the world. I will allocate 800,000 yuan from my internal treasury for military expenses, and the rest of the money will come from the Ministry of Revenue and the commander-in-chief of the feudal town."

Zhang Rang's expression froze. Since Pei Jiaoran dismissed Yanyuan's Jinfeng, the money in the inner treasury has become less and less. Now that we have to allocate such a large amount of money, what else can the inner treasury use to survive?

"Your Majesty, the Holy Ming Wu Guo." Jia Gonglu was the first to speak.

It is a foregone conclusion that You Shence will conquer western Zhejiang. The only one they can take action on is the candidate who will lead the Shence Army on the expedition.

"Your Majesty, I think it is better to send Li Xiujing to lead the Youshen Ce Army to join the Huainan Jiedu Envoy this time for a joint expedition." The prince said solemnly.

After hearing what the prince said, Emperor Wei frowned and said, "This Erlang of the Li family is indeed a fierce general. What do you think?"

"I second the proposal."

The three of them spoke in unison.

After the words fell, Emperor Wei remained indifferent.

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Emperor Wei, and pursed his lips. She knew that Emperor Wei was hesitant and did not want to let Li Xiujing go again.
