It is difficult for a good emperor to make any great feats, just like Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, who was stumped, even if there were mountains of money and food, he could not resolutely fight back against the Huns, wash away the shame, if he wanted to do great things, he would be famous all over the world, slander all over the world, this is a helpless thing!

Chai Rong demanded that millions of people be requisitioned and repaired within half a year. He wants to build a palace exactly the same as the Bashu Palace for Concubine Hua Niangniang within a year!

"Your Majesty is simply insane!"

The cabinet of ministers are all in this view, Shu Road is difficult, this is a well-known thing, to build Shu Road, it is necessary to open the mountain and fill the ditch, with three or five years, to build Shu Road, it is already very reluctant, it actually takes half a year to complete, is not the same as the original Sui Yang Emperor repaired the Grand Canal!

"If the people are forcibly requisitioned, the construction is carried out, and the Shu Road is not repaired, I am afraid that the people will be forced to rebel!" Wang Pu said slowly: "I can't draft this will!" ”

Although Chai Rong abolished the political hall and changed to a cabinet system, there is also a division of labor among the cabinet ministers.

Wang Pu took Xue Juzheng and Chen Qiao to be responsible for drafting the holy decree, while Wei Renpu was responsible for reviewing, and as for the quality, he was responsible for coordinating the six ministries and implementing government affairs.

In general, the authority of these cabinet princes is much smaller than the original, but because of the clear division of labor, it is still much stronger than the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially in the cabinet, there are two bachelors with the title of Shangshu, one is Fan Zhen and the other is Lu Duoxun, who are in charge of military affairs and finance respectively, and they have a very strong voice.

Fan Zhi said: "Bashu has just been annexed, people's hearts are unstable, if Shu Dao is cultivated at this time, it will inevitably provoke a civil uprising, and Wang Xianggong is right to refuse to draft the holy decree." What do you think of Tobe? ”

Lu Duosun spread his hands, "Everyone, there have been wars every day all these years, and the household department has long been in debt, and there are a lot of people chasing their butts for interest, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!" ”

They all said so, and Lao Wei rolled his eyes, "Since that's the case, I can't pass on my side...... Your Majesty is angry, let's carry it together, it's a big deal to go home and hug your grandson! ”

All the ministers of the cabinet were opposed, but Zhao Pu, the secretary of the military department who was sitting at the end, shook his head slightly, he was not in the cabinet, this time he was just present.

He sighed, "I think even if we all oppose it, it may not work!" ”

When Wei Renpu heard this, he frowned, Zhao Pu is still a small character, it's nothing, the problem is that behind Zhao Pu is Ye Hua, what kind of news did that kid got?

Lao Wei has always been deaf and clear-sighted, and many people feel that because of Empress Fu's affairs, there may be some estrangement between the Son of Heaven and Ye Hua, no, for a while, Ye Hua did not go to court.

Even Han Tong returned triumphantly, Ye Hua didn't show up, I'm afraid he fell out of favor!

Lao Wei knew very well in his heart that Ye Hua had a long conversation with the Son of Heaven several times in the Qiandi all night, and they really drank together, and the development of the court situation to this day has a lot to do with that kid...... Lao Wei felt that the best way was to pretend to be confused for the time being, and not to be a bird.

A group of people begged to see the Son of Heaven, and Chai Rong was angry, with a tired face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is the matter assigned by me?" When Chai Rong spoke, he leaned on the dragon chair, lazy, without any image at all, completely different from the previous sitting upright, and the atmosphere in the hall was also very different from the past...... Wang Pu said boldly: "Your Majesty, at present, the budget is in a difficult situation, forcibly requisitioning people's husbands and building roads, I am afraid that it will cause resentment among the people, and the old minister thinks that it can be postponed ...... time."

"No way!"

Chai Rong was furious!

"Since I ascended the throne, I have fought in the south and in the north, and if it is peaceful today, the Quartet will bow down. My grace spreads all over the world, accepts concubines, and shows the benevolence of the court. Repairing Shu Road and building a palace is my promise to Concubine Hua, and it is also to let the people of Bashu bathe in the emperor's grace, and this matter cannot be delayed! ”

What a strong logic, what a weird reason!

The ministers knew that something was wrong, but they couldn't find the words to refute it for a while, or rather, they didn't dare to refute it at all!

Chai Rong stood up and said angrily: "Are you all against building roads? ”

The ministers silently lowered their heads, after all, they were not the real prime ministers, they did not dare to argue with the Son of Heaven, but the power of silence was equally strong, that is, they did not agree with Chai Rong's approach.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to recuperate and recuperate, and hide the wealth from the people......" Han Xizai, the imperial historian who succeeded Zhao Shangjiao, has always been upright, and he is open to words.

"What?" Chai Rongyuan's eyes widened angrily, "It's just to build a road, and it will be built to the end of the Great Zhou Mountain, and the people will rebel?" It's just alarmist, pretending to be amazing! In the name of asking for the people's lives, in fact, it is making a big fuss and disrupting the situation! ”

Hearing the emperor say this, Han Xizai could only bow down and salute, "Your Majesty, the heart of the old minister can be seen every day, if Your Majesty doubts the old minister, please Your Majesty dismiss the old minister and let the old minister go home to farm!" ”

Saying that, Han Xizai took off the black yarn and knelt on the ground, followed by Wang Pu also knelt down, and Xue Juzheng had already had the heart to go home, so he also resigned.

Faced with the three ministers' almost palace-like statements, Chai Rong frowned, and his eyes kept wandering the crowd, unable to hide his disappointment...... These people only see the people's livelihood, but they don't think about the long term.

By building the Bashu Road, the army can go south to Dali.

A few years ago, Chai Rong once tried to attack Dali from Annan, but because the road was far away and the supplies were insufficient, he had to give up.

And if you take Dali, you will be able to turn around and contain the Tubo people.

If you contain Tibet, you will be able to move your army westward and destroy the party, thus opening up the road to the Western Regions.

Since the Anshi Rebellion, the Western Regions have gradually separated from the Central Plains, and it has been more than 100 years.

This is a big pattern, a big plan, but I can't tell ordinary people that even if they are princes of the imperial court, how much can they care about the gains and losses of the Western Regions.

They always think about themselves, and I do my own good job, not seeking merit but no fault...... Expecting them to keep up with themselves is wishful thinking.

And even if these people are replaced, and a new batch of officials are replaced, they will all be all the way!

Chai Rong groaned for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"Since all of you Aiqing are against it, then I will temporarily withdraw my destiny and allow me to think twice before acting. Stand down, I still have official business! ”

As he spoke, His Majesty the Emperor sighed and walked away on his own.

The rest of the princes, look at me, and I will look at you.

Finally blocked.

But they also saw that His Majesty the Emperor was obviously different from before.

Is it possible to dominate the world, be proud and complacent, and greedy for pleasure?

If I knew this, I should have killed Mrs. Blossom!

That woman is really a goblin who has brought disaster to the country and the people...... The big guys unanimously put the blame on Mrs. Blossom, even though they knew that it was not necessarily the woman's fault, but they didn't dare to think more about it...... Your Majesty, hurry up and calm down, and don't ruin the good situation!

Several scholars prayed silently, hoping that the Son of Heaven would wake up from sleep and become wise again.

The next day, as soon as the big guy arrived at the duty room, he suddenly got the news that last night, His Majesty issued a decree to release Zhang Xun, who was locked in the prison.

And he was crowned as Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, the governor of Shu Road construction matters.

Before dawn, Zhang Xun hurriedly went to Hanzhong with the holy decree in his arms.

Suffered!

Hit the delaying tactic!

Several ministers looked at each other, and this time they realized what the cabinet system is!

In the past, the decree had to pass through the government hall and be stamped with the big seal under the door of the Chinese book before it could take effect. Therefore, even if Your Majesty wants to push it forcibly, you must inform them.

Now that the political hall has become a cabinet, it can only make suggestions, and the Son of Heaven can bypass the scholars and directly give orders to the six ministries, and they have all become deaf ears and useless!

What is Zhang Xun?

Some time ago, he wrote a letter to impeach Queen Fu, and sent Chai Rong to the prison in a rage, and he was ready to kill his head.

Now His Majesty has released Zhang Yi for the sake of a lady of flowers.

This guy escaped death and was promoted, in order to tie up with Concubine Hua and please the emperor, he didn't use his strength to eat milk!

The people of Bashu are miserable!

No, absolutely not!

We shoulder the trust of the people, and the ancestors of the country and the society can't let people mess around!

To recover Zhang Xun?

Soon shook his head, this guy left overnight, and went down with the embroidered messenger, it was clear that he wanted to play with his life, and he couldn't stop it...... I went to advise Your Majesty, but I still don't believe it, since Mrs. Hua Rui entered the palace, Chai Rong has already stopped the court twice!

"What are you still doing in a daze, at this time you can only go to find the champion!" Lao Wei took a look, "Han Zhongcheng, you go to the Ministry of War, call Zhao Pu, go to Ye Mansion together, and let Ye Hua come forward to persuade the Son of Heaven, only he has a way at the moment!" ”

Han Xizai nodded immediately, "I'll go now!" ”

The chickens and dogs in the middle of the court jumped, but Ye Hua was clear and clear.

He knew Chai Rong's thoughts, what was for Mrs. Hua Rui, it was an excuse at all, His Majesty wanted to achieve a thousand years of hegemony, but if he wanted to achieve great things, he had to sacrifice some small people.

Even the princes of the court and the central government will become scapegoats.

For the courtiers, the greatest benefit is to be in peace, to get by, and to rule by doing nothing, to recuperate, but in fact, it is a vegetarian meal for corpses.

It's an almost unsolvable puzzle, it's up to who can overpower whom!

"Han Zhongcheng, Zhao Shangshu, I think about it behind closed doors now, and the government has little to do with me."

"Champion Hou!" Han Xizai wrinkled his eyebrows, very dissatisfied with Ye Hua's attitude.

Ye Hua waved his hand, "Han Zhongcheng, since you are here, I can't stand idly by, in this way, I will take you to see something!" ”

Ye Hua greeted them, went directly to the Nanxun Gate, and went to Qi Tongwen's academy.

"You see, this is a new four-wheeler that might make it easier to build roads...... Very good, how much money can the Ministry of Industry come up with for procurement? Ye Hua gritted his white teeth and said with a smile.
