Chapter 529: Rivals

Du Heng Meimei smiled and didn't answer, just counting the silver with one mind, while Tianlang and Qianqian sat down to discuss many things that happened today.

Qianqian analyzed that the ministers intended to spread the party against themselves, and Tianlang stroked Qianqian's belly with a smile and told her that in addition, someone should have more realistic plans, such as He Tengjiao's position as the head of the cabinet that has been vacant since he was martyred.

Both of them had their own guesses, and when they arrived at the court meeting the next day, Tianlang did not hear the praise of Yan Qiheng, Pang Tianshou and Deng Kai the day before, but was accused by Qu Shiyun of being an enemy.

Because of this sentence, the emperor and the ministers quarreled again, although close ministers like He Wenduan and Li Yuanyin would definitely stand up and support the emperor, but Yan Qiheng shrank his head again. And most people don't agree with the whimsical idea of Tianlang.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, 'Heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are dogs', I am now too busy to take care of myself, how can I come from the benevolence of heaven and earth, and if heaven and earth have benevolence, they will not let the people of Shanxi suffer from natural disasters. And Jin Shaanxi and the Ming Dynasty are separated from Sichuan and Henan, and Sichuan and Henan have not been recovered by the Ming Dynasty. ”

This is Wu Zhenyu's words, Wu Zhenyu did not scold Tianlang for being an enemy like Qu Shiyun, but put the practical difficulties on the table and let Tianlang think about it for himself. What about the waves? just nodded, and continued his opinion, "Even if they are far away from the ocean, the people of Jin and Shaanxi are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the northwest of the Central Plains is only separated by a river from my jurisdiction, and I must not watch them suffer from a great drought and ignore it." ”

Most of the ministers uncharacteristically opposed Tianlang and ignored his explanation, and Yang Zhong, the young secretary of Dali Temple, asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty how can you not take care of the great drought in Jinshan in vain, and how can you send food to the hands of every Jinshan people?" ”

"Everyone has their own household registration, and if they can come to Xiangyang with their own household registration and their own family, I can let them settle down there and help them. I know that if you want to go to Xiangyang, the people of Shaanxi still have to pass through Wuguan, which is not easy to do.

It is even more difficult for the people of Shanxi to come to Xiangyang through Henan or Shaanxi. Therefore, if my will is issued, it is not so much how effective it will be, but it is actually putting pressure on the Qing court, they don't want to save the people of Jin and Shaanxi, I will do it, and if Dolgon ignores me, I will send troops to the north.

The Ming Dynasty went to the Northern Expedition for the purpose of saving the people of Shanxi and Shanxi, and it will definitely get the support of the local people. As for Sichuan and Henan, Wang Jincai has already gained a foothold in the southwestern mountainous area of Henan, and the conquest of Sichuan will be put on the agenda as soon as possible. ”

Du Yinxi asked quite rationally: "The emperor said that he wanted to conquer Sichuan, but now the front line of our army has extended to Wuchang and Fujian, if you count Henan, it is already a three-front battle, if you add the conquest of Sichuan." Where does the military pay come from? Where did the soldiers come from? ”

Tianlang said: "No matter if there are no soldiers or no military salaries, it will not affect the preparation for the conquest of Sichuan, we only need to prepare in this direction." It is not that there are no soldiers, the scale of the imperial camp is now very large, and it has not suffered losses during the southern invasion of Zilharang, and it is enough to conquer Sichuan. ”

Du Yinxi asked again: "The imperial camp under the rule of the minister can naturally take on the task of conquering Sichuan, but as the general reserve of the whole army, once the imperial camp is transferred out of the heart of the empire, who will resist the Qing army's invasion?" ”

"Just prepare a little more, and when the time comes, just do it cheaply. There is also the problem of money and food that Qin Qing said just now, the army is out, and naturally it needs a lot of money and food, but there will always be a way. Even if Da Ming was only sent to Jin and Shaanxi in the end, it was my heart for the people of Jin and Shaanxi, and the secretaries didn't have to worry too much.

As for the money and food to help the people of Jin and Shaanxi, it will be allocated from my internal funds this year, which can be regarded as me using my own money to help the people of Jin and Shaanxi. If any of the Qing family members say that I am the enemy, then it is better to be the enemy. Even if I am infamy, I have to do my best to make the people of Jin and Shaanxi starve to death a few less, and if I am scolded, I will be scolded alone, so I won't bother the Zhuqing family! ”

Since Tianlang has said that this matter must be done step by step, and it is to take the royal family's own internal funds, then the ministers have nothing to spray, the emperor only said that he likes it, and no one cares, so how can this matter be managed?

Even if they knew that Tianlang would not be so easy to deal with, they could only wait to see where Tianlang would go next, because they had no reason to reject Tianlang's righteous words and step by step.

What's more, how to spend the internal money, of course, there is no explicit provision in the Daming Law, and the six ministries and nine Qings can't control it.

Tianlang saw that the words were almost finished, so he wanted to retreat from the dynasty, at this time, Yushi Hao Baiqi stood up: "Your Majesty's heart is for the people of Jin and Shaanxi who are far away, which makes the ministers admire, but Jiangnan has been decided, and the newly recovered territory has not yet been selected by civil officials.

After the martyrdom of Mr. He, the first assistant of the cabinet was even more vain. After the rectification of Zhaoqing, many ministers were dismissed by His Majesty, and there are still vacancies in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment. The minister dared to ask His Majesty, the central government is still like this, where does Your Majesty have the leisure to worry about the drought in Shanxi and Jin, which is thousands of miles away? ”

Tianlang was already about to walk out of his body and sat back again. If this was not said by Hao Baiqi, whom he hated very much, Tianlang really wanted to thank him. But after thinking about it, Tianlang still pretended to praise him with a sudden realization:

"Hao Qing is really in a word, and now the positions of the six departments of the DPRK and the Central Committee and below should not be vacant for too long. Therefore, I have also thought about selecting from the existing officials in the DPRK and China to fill the vacancies in the six ministries. In addition, it is necessary to reopen the imperial examination. ”

The reopening of the imperial examination should be a major event that the Chinese official has been waiting for a long time, and the six departments have been vacant with two Shangshu, and Tianlang naturally has his considerations. As for so many other vacancies, Tianlang is also observing, these days Dongchang keeps sending information, many of them are assessment officials, Su Qianqian's good intentions, how could Tianlang not take it seriously, she is already pregnant, and she has to worry about his state affairs, which makes Tianlang feel even more guilty about her from the deep love.

During this period of time, especially after Zhaoqing killed more than 100 ministers, after the blow of the waves step by step, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have withered away, and there are only three or four out of ten officials in the Six Ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple, and the Cabinet.
