The little emperor undoubtedly can't accept the movement of troops in the southwest, once a few Zaifu force him to do so, he will start to dismiss the government, but like the increase of troops in Hanzhong, he can still accept it.

According to the current situation, if the imperial court does not fight the southwest, it is unlikely that the southwest will take the initiative to attack the imperial court at Jianmen Pass, so the imperial court will increase its troops in Hanzhong, which can not only stabilize the southwest portal, but also will not cause too much shock.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi sat on the throne, was silent for a while, and looked up at the ministers in the hall.

"What about your opinions?"

Compared with Shen Kuan, the imperial historian of the Imperial History Observatory was strict and clumsy, and his attitude was not so forceful, he took a step forward and arched his hand to the Son of Heaven and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he will send someone to the southwest to find out whether there is a drought in the end, but on the one hand, no matter whether there is a drought in the southwest, these more than 30 copies of the recital, not a single one can be approved." ”

He said in a deep voice: "The imperial court will not exempt the southwest, and in a few months it will be time for the imperial court to collect autumn grain. ”

"The minister means that now you can increase troops to Hanzhong, and you can be prepared, if a few months later, the southwest refuses to pay taxes, the imperial court should be able to raise up a royal division from Hanzhong to crusade against the ministers."

Yan Shou's clumsy plan, relatively speaking, is more gentle, and it also kicks the ball back to the southwest, and if the southwest wants to forcibly strike taxes, it will really fight.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi took a deep breath and looked around at the ministers in the palace.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

There was silence in the Xuanzheng Palace.

The current court, after all, is dominated by several auxiliary ministers, and now two of the three auxiliary ministers have spoken, and the rest of the people naturally dare not say anything more, even Ji Lin, the metropolitan governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, opened his mouth and did not speak.

The Son of Heaven, who was sitting on the throne, frowned slightly.

He waved his hand.

"In this case, according to the method of Shen Xiang and Yan Sikong, I will hand it over to the Ministry of War to draw up the regulations, and after the specific regulations come out, send them to Weiyang Palace, I want to take a look at them first."

After that, the Son of Heaven got up, turned his head to Xiao Zheng and said, "Go back to Weiyang Palace." ”

The great eunuch Xiao Zheng immediately bowed his head, and left the Xuanzheng Hall with a group of eunuchs and the Son of Heaven in his arms, leaving a group of ministers looking at each other.

What stunned them was not that the Son of Heaven wanted to ask about this matter, but the Son of Heaven...... is already participating in politics in advance.

In the officialdom, any wind and grass will trigger a series of chain reactions, for example, a short sentence from Yuan Zhao Tianzi, the ministers below will ponder in their hearts...... Is the emperor going to govern in advance?

These people in the Xuanzheng Palace, at least they are also third-grade officials, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the dragons and phoenixes among people, just this sentence, some of them have already secretly made calculations.

In the court, there are auxiliary ministers.

The Son of Heaven participated in politics in advance, was it against a few auxiliary ministers...... Dissatisfied?

In an instant, when they looked at the three auxiliary ministers, something was not quite right.

Shen Kuan lowered his head slightly, his face was a little not good-looking, he took a deep breath, and said to Ye Lan, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Ye Shangshu, Your Majesty wants your Ministry of War to take out the charter, and before sunset tomorrow, the specific charter will be sent to the Shangshutai for review." ”

Ye Lan frowned, but he still bowed his head and bowed his hand: "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Shen Xiang waved his sleeves.

"This is the end of today's court meeting, and the princes have returned to their duties and dispersed."

With his words, the ministers in the Xuanzheng Palace began to slowly leave, and it didn't take long for all the officials to disperse, and in the Xuanzheng Palace, only three auxiliary ministers including Ji Lin remained.

If they can do the position of auxiliary ministers, they naturally have something extraordinary, and they will not fail to hear the meaning that others can hear.

Shen Kuan's face was a little unpleasant, he took a deep breath and looked at Yan Shouzhuo and Ji Lin.

"Two, Your Majesty has already participated in politics."

Originally, the court meeting should have been "presided over" by him, the left minister, and the questioning and the like should also be done by him, the left minister, but Fang Cai, who was only fourteen years old, basically controlled the audience and presided over the court meeting completely.

Ji Lin's face was calm.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, if Your Majesty wants to govern, I will return to Your Majesty."

He looked at Shen Kuan and smiled: "What, Shen Xiang is reluctant?" ”

Shen Kuan frowned slightly: "The old man is the left servant of Shangshu Province, and with the title of an auxiliary minister, the authority may not be much, but the responsibility is a lot, if he can return to the emperor, the old man is also willing to do it." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ji Lin.

"But now, the big things have not been decided, Your Majesty is young, I am afraid that he will be high-spirited and emotional, and he will not focus on the overall situation of the society."

Ji Lin smiled coldly.

"Shen Xiang's overall situation may not be much higher than Your Majesty."

He arched his hand at the two auxiliary ministers and took his leave in a dashing manner.

"The opinion of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is very simple, everything is subject to the holy will, if the two auxiliary ministers want to toss, just toss as much as possible, the governor still has military affairs to do, so I will not accompany them."

With that, Ji Lin walked away.

Yan Sikong, who stayed behind, also sighed slightly, and arched his hand at Shen Kuan: "Shen Xiang, seeing that it is autumn, even if His Majesty has no intention of participating in politics, the auxiliary ministers we are waiting for will not be able to do it for too long, Shen Xiang has been seeking the country for a long time, and he has to think about it." ”

With that, he sighed and left the Xuanzheng Palace.

At the same time, Yuan Zhao Tianzi, who had returned to Weiyang Palace, asked people to talk to the two uncles of the mother family in the Weiyang Palace.

The capital is full of turmoil.

…………………………

Time flies quickly, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

In the course of a month, the imperial court transferred three Zhichong Mansions from the left battalion of the forbidden army to increase troops in Hanzhong and guard the southwest gate.

At the same time, the imperial court's refusal of the southwest's exemption of documents had already been sent from the capital to the southwest, and after the documents were in Zhao Jia's hands, they were sent to Yongzhou Mansion two thousand miles away by fast horses.

Along with this letter, there was also a letter from Ningling.

In the Li Mansion in Qiyang County, the Marquis of Jing'an, who accompanied his wife and children, held these two letters in his hands, and did not rush to open the one from the imperial court, but first opened the letter from Ningling.

This letter was written by Chen Guogong Ye Ming.

The content of the letter is also very simple, to the effect that when this Chen Guogong was guarding the spirit in Ningling, he heard about the affairs of the southwest, and persuaded Li Xin not to make a big deal about it, and to accept it when he saw it, and it would not be good for anyone to raise swords and soldiers in the southwest again.

At the end of the letter, this Chen Guogong added the last sentence.

"The southwest has become a country of its own, and it will save some face for the imperial court."

After glancing at the letter a few times, Li Xin found a fire fold and lit it and burned it to ashes.

He is now both an enemy and a friend of the imperial court, and it is not easy for him to be involved with the Ye family, let alone leave a letter to implicate Ye Ming.

After the Marquis of Jing'an replied to Ye Ming with a letter of greeting to his body, he opened the second letter sent by Zhao Jia.

The content of the letter is that the imperial court refuses to exempt the southwest from taxation, and the imperial court has already increased the number of troops in Hanzhong.

After probably sweeping it, a sneer appeared on the face of the Marquis of Jing'an, and he casually threw the letter into the torch.

"At this time, I still wanted to try not to offend both sides, but neither side could please me."

"The First Emperor can do this, but you're too young..."
