Deep ice

early morning.

Fu Dian Dian.

The eyeballs of Shangshu Hubu almost fell out, "What? The Governor of Northern Xinjiang once again asked for 200 million taels of silver!"

Tian Chongguang lowered his eyes, "Exactly."

Hubu Shangshu's eyes were straightened, he didn't care about etiquette at all, "The old man heard it right."

Tian Chongguang remained silent, as he had expected.

After a moment of silence, the court exploded again.

"This Lin Chang is really messing around. He just escorted a batch of silver yesterday. Although it hasn't arrived yet, he dares to ask for payment again. Does he think that the treasury is run by his family?"

"Isn't it just because he won a few battles that he became frivolous like this? The current national crisis and financial constraints, this person wants money, but he is not polite."

"Your Excellency's words are different. The previous battles in northern Xinjiang were not considered victories. They were just doing their part to defend the city. Moreover, the military newspaper said that our casualties were heavy. Compared with the number of casualties in Beiyi, that's far more than that." And nothing less."

"There were heavy casualties, that's why we need money to recruit soldiers. If you don't directly recruit soldiers, it's pretty good."

"Forget it, let me simply tell you that the battle situation in northern Xinjiang is stalemate and the loss of troops is serious. Governor Lin must have no choice but to ask for silver again and again, and the battlefield is changing rapidly. The clan's attack suddenly surged, there will always be someone in Daping to resist, right?"

"Everyone understands this truth, but right now the country can't pay military salaries. If the money is rich, they won't care about it."

……

The black air under the phoenix's eyes was thick, Yuan Jing waved his hand,

"We'll discuss this matter tomorrow, let me think about it."

The people who were still arguing just now fell silent after hearing what Yuan Jing said. For a while, the court was surprisingly quiet.

Seeing this, the Grand Master of the Cabinet stood still slightly, "Report to the Emperor, I have a statement."

Yuan Jing frowned slightly, "Speak."

The Cabinet University scholar said: "According to my opinion, the North-South War is urgent, and the army and food are gathered, so that the frontier generals hold a heavy army, but the border generals have different ideas from the imperial court. This is a hidden danger of the country. The teacher follows the army to hunt down the thieves and convey the holy will."

Yuan Jing was silent when he heard the words.

Having said that, the superintendent governs the soldiers of several provinces, and is in charge of the governors and governors of various places. The real power is so great that ordinary official positions cannot be compared.

And at that time, He Yan used this position to fill his wings until he came from the court to control the government and control the emperor.

Therefore, after He Yan was eradicated, Yuan Jing felt that this position had lingering fears and was not established.

Furthermore, there is no suitable candidate for the supervisor in the court.

Tian Chongguang was supposed to be the best candidate to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War, but he is too cautious and strict in his daily life, lacking the courage to kill and make decisions, so he cannot be appointed.

While thinking, Tian Chongguang stepped forward, bowed his head,

"I believe that the matter of supervising teachers is of great importance, and should be discussed in a long-term manner."

Yuan Jing's voice was indifferent, "In your opinion?"

Tian Chongguang said: "I think that this person who serves as a supervisor, looking at all the officials of the imperial court, no one can be."

This sentence just caught Yuan Jing's mind, but Yuan Jing couldn't agree to it directly, so he just said lightly: "I see that you are respectful to the end and careful in the beginning, and you can handle things smoothly, but you can take on this great responsibility."

Tian Chongguang immediately knelt down on one knee, raised his head slightly, and his eyes were sincere, "It's not that I'm underestimating myself, but I know that I'm too cautious, and I need to think twice before doing everything. If the division goes into battle, I am afraid that the general will miss the army."

Having said that, what Tian Chongguang planned in his heart was another matter.

If he went to conquer the army like this, then the long-planned matter could only be put on hold, and besides, he was indeed not the material for the supervisor.

It's a pity that the Minister of the Ministry of War couldn't understand what he meant, and instead stepped forward and said, "I see Mr. Tian as the pillar of the country, and he is really the best candidate for the supervisor."

The corners of Tian Chongguang's eyes twitched, and just as he was about to refute, he heard Liu Qing's argument erupted suddenly.

"Master Tian, ​​don't refuse, don't waste the emperor's kindness."

"I think it's better to temporarily vacate the post of supervisor. People who are resourceful and brave are really going to miss the job."

"What do you mean, are you insinuating that there is no one in my military department, and Mr. Tian is a timid person?"

"Adults worry too much. The humble position is just a matter of fairness, and there is no insinuation at all."

……

A trace of anger appeared on Yuan Jing's face, "Enough!"

When the officials were quiet, he said again: "Since Tian Aiqing declined in every possible way, then I will not force it."

Tian Chongguang hurriedly said: "The minister failed the emperor's love, and I hope the emperor will make amends."

Yuan Jing continued: "The affairs of the supervisor's duties will be temporarily delegated by the Beijing officials to supervise the management, that is, to supervise the army with the soldiers. This matter will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War. The roster will be handed over in the next day, and I will make a decision later. .”

Tian Chongguang heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Yuan Jing had also thought it through carefully. In this way, he not only supervised the local military power, but also avoided personal power, and killed two birds with one stone.

Yuan Jing glanced at Tian Chongguang, "Get up."

Tian Chongguang bowed his head, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After standing up and standing still, Tian Chongguang did not let go of his hand, "I have something else to say."

Yuan Jing said: "Speak."

Tian Chongguang paused, and said casually, "Fei Qing of the Imperial Academy is talented and both civil and military, and his brain has gaps. I want to include him in the Ministry of War and serve the country."

Yuan Jing didn't think too much, just said lightly: "Yes."

Tian Chongguang responded respectfully, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and shut their mouths, Yuan Jing looked at the time again, and said, "If there is something to play, we will leave the court if there is nothing to do."

Both civil and military personnel knelt down and bowed, "Respectfully send off the emperor."

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from above, those bold ones raised their heads and peeked, only to see Yuan Jing with a blue face, slowly got up, took a step, then fell limply.

The hearts of all the ministers were hanging by a thread, and they sighed suddenly.

"Your Majesty..." Luckily, Xilian reacted very quickly, and hurried forward to support him, "Be careful..."

All the officials paid tribute to him, and all praised him.

It is said that the emperor is conscientious and conscientious, even his body is exhausted.

Yuan Jing suddenly blushed, pushed Xilian away, and staggered away.

-

The wind blows over the peach blossoms, and the petals of the cherry blossoms are full.

It landed on the man's thick shoulders, was caressed by the hand, and fell into the ground again, being trampled upon.

He Yan's sleeve was suddenly pulled.

Turning his head, the little eunuch beside him looked dumb,

"Huaihuai, how about going to see the spring flowers together?"

Chunbao sucked his nose, the black yarn had long since disappeared from his head, his messy bun was exposed, and a few peach blossoms fell on it, "Huaihuai, I found some delicious food from my six sons, I'll save it for you .”

He Yan's expression was indifferent, he pulled out his hand with force,

"Don't go."

Chun Bao followed behind, unyielding, "Huai Huai, you haven't told me about your affairs with the emperor for many days, I thought of a good way yesterday, this move will definitely please the emperor..."

He Yan focused slightly, "I won't need it in the future."

Chun Bao happily said: "Could it be that you and the Emperor have... tied the knot..."

Then he sighed again: "Hey... I think back then, you chased after the emperor like a dog. To be able to be today, after all, it is God's reward for hard work..."

He Yan clenched his hands hard, with a cold look on his face,

"I think you are tired of living?"

Chunbao hurriedly backed away, and then walked away leisurely, "I only hope that the lovers will finally get married... Don't let down the sincerity of you and me..."

He Yan saw that idiot pretending to be a sage, he couldn't bear the beating, and was about to go forward to pull the little eunuch back, but he saw Shun Shun coming towards him, "Master, there is news."

He Yan loosened his clenched fist, and was overjoyed, "Go into the room and talk."

After finishing speaking, he and Shun Shun entered the hall, Shun Shun took out a Shu brocade sachet from his cuff, found a pair of scissors and cut it open, there was actually a small wax pill wrapped in the spice.

He Yan crushed the wax pill and pulled out the thin paper inside.

It is said above that Fei Qing has been transferred to the Ministry of War.

He Yan smiled lowly, "In this way, I should change my surname to Fei in the future."

The eunuch beside him lowered his eyebrows and came out with a medicine bottle.

"Master, it's time to take medicine."

He Yan pulled out the bottle-neck red tassel, but before drinking, his eyes fell on other places, as if he had something on his mind, "I have to find a way to get out of the palace as soon as possible."

Shun Shun looked around, lowered his voice, "It's a bit difficult to ask the emperor to agree to this matter."

After pondering for a long while, he said again: "I think there were some examples of palace people who committed crimes and left the palace to practice in the past emperor's time, but our emperor has a vicious temper. If he really made a mistake, most of them would be sent to the violent room, where they would be maimed or died. My master must not." Act rashly."

He Yan lowered his eyes to look at the porcelain bottle in his hand, and said coldly, "If you want to leave, you can do so generously and be escorted out. It's better to stay here."

After drinking the medicine, he threw the porcelain bottle into the food box, "Let me think about it."

Shun Shun agreed, packed up the food box, and bowed to leave.

He Yan stood behind the barrier of Panlong Huafeng with his hands behind his back, and squinted at the person hiding behind the tent, "Why are you still here?"

Huai Huai murmured: "Brother He, you don't want me?"

He Yan glanced at him, "Aren't you just me?"

Huaihuai lowered his head, curled his lips, "Yes."

He Yan said: "Have you figured it out?"

Huai Huai shook his head, "I don't understand."

He Yan's face darkened slightly, "It's okay, I'm going to get well anyway."

Huaihuai didn't hear it, his eyes were clear, "What I don't understand is that you are going out of the palace, but I want to stay here. You hate the emperor so much, but I like him so much."

He Yan looked away, "That's because you are simple-minded, but the matter between me and him can't be finished in a few words."

Huai Huai said: "It's so complicated."

After thinking about it again, he complained: "Why do you always pretend to be me in front of the emperor? What a shame!"

He Yan raised his eyebrows, "Take it as what I think, and come out if you have the guts. Fortunately, I pretended."

Huai Huai was discouraged, "It's just that I shouldn't have learned to sing with Chun Bao in the first place, but in the end, I have become you. You are still better than blue."
