Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

But what, just say it!

Liu Zhao was very generous at the moment.

All the ministers exchanged a look with each other, so there was a tacit understanding.

However, the imperial court never asked the Northwest Army to march thousands of miles to reach the Xiliang King City. Nor did it give the Northwest Army an order to destroy the Xiliang Kingdom.

From the beginning to the end, the imperial court only asked the Northwest Army to fight back against Xiliang and defend the border. However, the Northwest Army arbitrarily advocated to go out of the pass to pursue, march forward triumphantly, and break into the King City of Xiliang. What is even more inconceivable is that the Northwest Army has wiped out the Xiliang Kingdom by itself. , Killing the King of Xiliang, what kind of courage and credit. However, the matter behind the credit must be investigated.

I have the guts to ask, who provides the logistics supplies for the Northwest Army? Tens of thousands of soldiers, who have marched for thousands of miles, still have enough energy to fight the war of destroying the country. This is not what ordinary logistics supplies can do.

Shangshu of the Household Department, should you hand over the accounts of your Household Department for everyone to check. How much food and grass did your Household Department give to the Northwest Army? Could it be that you concealed the data and made fake accounts?

The amount of money and food recorded in the household account book is probably less than 10% of the real amount. Otherwise, it will not be enough to support the Northwest Army in the war of destroying the country.

Don't talk nonsense! You can check the account books of the Ministry of Accounts. If you find any problems, you can take the head of my account. If you can't find any problems, do you dare to bet the head with me?

Master Qin, who was promoted to Minister of the Household Department just the year before last, was furious.

He bears the label of Emperor Jingming Emperor Liu Zhao's confidant adviser, and was promoted by Liu Zhao himself.

All the ministers suspected that his hands and feet were not clean, and it was normal for him to make false accounts.

If there is no problem with the account books of the Ministry of Accounts, then the problem lies with the Shaofu. The Shaofu can use the name of the caravan to secretly provide food, grass and military equipment for the Northwest Army.

The newly-appointed Shaofu family order, Liu Bao, who is called old fool by people in the clan, is hard of hearing.

What, what... Did someone mention the Shaofu just now? Can you say it again, the old man didn't catch it clearly.

When the ministers heard the words, they were disgusted and angry.

On purpose!

His Majesty must have deliberately appointed an old man with a hard of hearing to be the order of the Shaofu.

The courtier skipped the Shaofu and asked Liu Zhao directly.

Without His Majesty's permission, how dare the Shaofu send a large amount of grain, grass and military equipment to the Northwest Army.

Your Majesty secretly ordered the Northwest Army to go out and fight a war of destroying the country without telling the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. This is the way of a foolish king!

It is the way of a tyrant to lightly provoke the frontier and destroy the country wantonly. In all dynasties and dynasties, all emperors who are dedicated to military and martial arts will definitely cause the people of the world to live in poverty. Please rein in the precipice and turn back in time, Your Majesty.

Instead of suppressing Marquis Lu and the Northwest Army, he assisted the Northwest Army in a war of annihilation, which made Marquis Lu's prestige unprecedentedly high. I dare to ask Your Majesty, how should we deal with the aftermath?

Marquis Lu made such a feat, and there is no reward. This is not an immortal feat, it is clearly a way to bring disaster.

Xiliang is thousands of miles away from the border, and it's as far away as the sky from the capital. My humble minister dares, what's the use of His Majesty ordering the Northwest Army to destroy Xiliang? Could it be that the imperial court can send officials thousands of miles away to govern Xiliang?

As far as the Great Zhou is concerned, Xiliang is tasteless. It's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to throw it away, and it's a waste of money and food to garrison guards. It's better to throw it away!

Liu Zhao straightened his back and smiled coldly, Is everything finished?

Your Majesty, please issue an order to call the Northwest Army back to the defense and the Marquis of Lu to return to Beijing.

Liu Zhao showed a look of sarcasm, Who said just now that Xiliang is worthless and can be discarded? I have always thought that the civil and military officials standing in the court at this moment should be the smartest, most knowledgeable, and most knowledgeable in Da Zhou. A group of far-sighted people. However, some plausible words made me realize how short-sighted and ignorant you are.

Could it be that His Majesty really wants to run Xiliang? The result is nothing but a waste of money and food, which will only increase the burden on the people.

Your opinion, that is the old imperial calendar. Stupid!

Please make it clear, Your Majesty.

Think about it, everyone, how did the ancient emperors do it? And why did they become unified?

The Golden Temple is as quiet as a chicken.

Needle drop can be heard in the hall.

I only know how to be stubborn, stupid, and short-sighted. I think you are all stupid in reading. Liu Zhao roared, waking up the silent crowd.

Mr. Lu knew how to judge the timing. He stood up and said loudly, Your Majesty's intention is to imitate the ancient emperors and divide the feudal lords.

Liu Zhao snorted coldly, but remained silent.

Master Lu continued: It took a lot of money and food to take down Xiliang with great difficulty. I'm not reconciled to retreating like this! I'm sorry for the blood shed by the soldiers, I'm sorry for your Majesty's painstaking efforts, and I'm sorry for the money and food spent. However, the court is unable to govern. Xiliang is really too far away, but we can't give up Xiliang.

It is better to enfeoff a prince and rule Xiliang on behalf of the imperial court. In this way, not only the court's problems were solved, Xiliang could truly recognize the Great Zhou after several years of governance, and become a part of the Great Zhou's territory. There is another advantage to doing this. From now on, Xiliang will become a barrier for Da Zhou to defend against foreigners, and the frontier defense line will directly advance thousands of miles. The border became an inland area, and the regional structure of the Great Zhou Dynasty would undergo earth-shaking changes. This is an inexhaustible feat!

Double reed!

flattering.

Master Lu has fallen!

Mr. Lu is a good flatterer.

I mentioned His Majesty at the beginning, and then I talked about the overall situation later.

It seems to be talking about something, but in fact every sentence is flattering His Majesty.

If it weren't for His Majesty's foresight, courage, daring to think and do, how could he have achieved today's incomparable feats.

Lu Hou was at best a man who led troops to fight.

The one who really strategizes and decides to win thousands of miles away is Your Majesty!

This flattery is really clever.

The man who can serve as Zhongshu Ling is really extraordinary.

While the ministers sincerely admire Mr. Lu, they also sincerely despise Mr. Lu.

shameless.

According to Mr. Lu, this is to crack the soil to seal the marquis! Mr. Lu, what is your intention? How much benefit have you received from Marquis Lu in private?

Master Lu sneered and ignored the other party at all.

Your Majesty, don't bother the two lords. Since the Northwest Army is in Xiliang, why don't you order the Northwest Army to station there and order the Marquis of Lu to govern Xiliang. Even if the local civil unrest is quelled, Xiliang will indeed be included in the Great Zhou Dynasty. territory.

I implore Your Majesty to kill Master Lu, this man is a national traitor!

Your Majesty, please kill the national traitor!

Absurd! The old man is dedicated to the public, and every word he says is for the country and the people, and for the future generations of the Great Zhou. You are the real national traitors, idiots, and short-sighted people who insist on abandoning Xiliang.

Lu Pifu, don't make excuses. Are you bewitching His Majesty to support the Northwest Army to send troops to Xiliang? Tell me, how much food and military equipment was spent? Check the accounts of the Shaofu. This matter must be explained clearly.

Without my permission, who would dare to check the accounts of the Shaofu?

Liu Zhao patted the table heavily.

The Shaofu is my private treasury, and I can use the Shaofu's money as I want.

Even if it is His Majesty's private treasury, every penny is the fat of the people.

Liu Zhao was furious, regardless of his status, and cursed loudly: Fart! Do you have any brains? The interest earned by the Shaofu Bank is the people's fat and the people's fat? The money earned by the Huangzhuang is the people's fat and the people's fat? Reading the contents of the book, thinking that it is correct is obviously stupid. Without the Shaofu Bank, the current capital is still rampant with usury, and countless people are forced to go bankrupt.

Who are the backers behind those loan sharks? I really don't think I know. Before scolding me for spending people's fat and people's cream, first see if my butt is not clean. You'd better not force me to turn over old accounts, otherwise one counts as the other, and they all go to Jinwuwei to drink tea.

The Jinwu Guard has a bad reputation, but it still has some effect.

Some people back off visibly.

But at any time, there is no shortage of old and stubborn.

The Marquis of Lu is a national traitor. Your Majesty's support of Marquis Lu is tantamount to supporting a national traitor. This veteran is firmly against it.

I also object. No matter how important Xiliang is, no matter what the territory of the Great Zhou will be, it is wrong for His Majesty to support the Northwest Army in private through the Shaofu without the consent of the court. To destroy Xiliang. Please come to Fengxian Hall , kowtow to the ancestors to plead guilty.

roll!

Liu Zhao's answer was only one word.

It's so annoying!

He couldn't hold back some words in his heart, and spit them out in one breath.

If the Taizu is alive, short-sighted people like you who advocate abandoning Xiliang will all be killed. Don't scare me with the ancestors of the Liu family. When I open up the territory, the ancestors and the ancestors are in the sky. Ling, I must be very pleased. I did not increase taxes and corvees, and only relied on the strength of the Shaofu to win this war of destroying the country. Aren't you ashamed? You dare to blame me, who gave you the courage. Go home , Reflect on yourself. I don’t want to see your annoying faces. Retire!”

Liu Zhao walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

If he doesn't retreat, he is afraid that he will be uncontrollable and want to kill.

When Xiliang hit it, it was a happy time, and he didn't want to kill anyone.

However, someone insisted on forcing him to kill.

Liu Zhao returned to Xingqing Palace angrily.

When Lord Lu and several courtiers arrived, the monarch and his ministers held a small court meeting to discuss the follow-up plan.

After defeating Xiliang, the next step is to crack the soil and seal the king.

It's simple to say, a matter of will.

In fact, there are thousands of thoughts.

If most of the people in the court are not settled, this will will be violated by others.

Maybe when Liu Zhao is alive, nothing will happen.

When Liu Zhao passes away, everything he has worked hard now may be overthrown.

In order to prevent this possibility, and also to remove obstacles for future generations, Liu Zhao will now settle down most of the people in the court and remove all obstacles in front of this decree.

Therefore, he can't start killing at this time, leaving hidden dangers for the future.

After finishing his business, Liu Zhao went to Chang'an Palace to ask for comfort and a hug.

Gu Jiu made him a cup of clear herbal tea, The reaction of the courtiers has long been expected, and they are still so angry, what's the matter?

I almost died of anger, but you still scolded me.

Liu Zhao was wronged.

Gu Jiu smiled, and pushed the teacup forward, Clear the fire, I let the kitchen cook some soup, and I will drink two bowls with you later. Courtiers, if you lure them with money, they will compromise sooner or later.
