66 Su Song re-endowment
These people only found each other after they came out of the ranks, and they were a little embarrassed for a while. But it's all out of the ranks, so it doesn't matter. The first person at the front and the one with the highest grade shouted: "Liu Mao, don't you hear Su Song's heavy endowment?" ”
After that, he turned to Hu Guang and spoke loudly, with a righteous face: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Liu Mao is very selfish, and his heart can be punished!" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Then a person followed: "Jiangnan is the place where the imperial court is re-endowed, and the taxes are far higher than those in the north. If the additional faction is unfair, the people in the south of the Yangtze River will be overwhelmed and there will be a civil uprising, and the impact will be far greater than that in the north! ”
"The north and south of the Ming Dynasty are all His Majesty's people, and His Majesty is invited to treat them equally!" Others followed suit.
In the original history, because there were far more southerners than northerners among the officials, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, they were all implemented in accordance with the so-called superficially fair method of increasing the number of acres, which further increased the burden on the peasants in the north.
Liu Mao was attacked by them, his face was red with anger, his eyes were aimed at Cao Yubian, the left capital of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was also a northerner, but when he saw that he was like a mud bodhisattva, he didn't react at all, and he couldn't help but be very disappointed, knowing that they were more business-oriented, and Tian Fu was a trivial matter in their eyes. In desperation, he had to wait for the holy judgment.
However, Hu Guang didn't speak immediately, just glanced down, and then asked, "What do the household departments and the cabinet think?" ”
Bi Ziyan originally thought that he would still be assigned according to the old rules, but I don't know why Liu Mao mentioned this matter again, will the emperor still listen to you?
When he was about to say something, Zhou Yanru, an auxiliary minister in the front of the cabinet, came out and only listened to him play: "Your Majesty, no matter what kind of method of increasing the faction, or how to open up sources and reduce expenditure, it is a problem for all dynasties. The minister thinks that it is not good to have no head, and the bird is not wingless and not flying, and now that the position of the first assistant of the cabinet is vacant, it is better to set the first assistant first, and then the first assistant will lead the discussion! ”
As a matter of practice, if there is a vacancy in the first assistant to the cabinet, the second assistant is admitted. Of course, the second assistant is the next assistant who entered the cabinet at the earliest. Zhou Yanru proposed this because he wanted to go one step further and take a few steps forward.
Of course, the biggest benefit in this way is Cheng Ji's life, but he can't come up and talk about it himself, so he secretly reached a tacit understanding with Zhou Yanru, and Zhou Yanru will bring up the matter.
As soon as his words fell, many people in the civil service list agreed with this proposal, and in the blink of an eye, they put aside the argument just now.
Hu Guang looked at all this coldly, let them generously state that there was no harm to Shoufu, and did not speak.
Cao Yubian, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also came out and said, "The minister thinks that the former chief assistant is in the prime of life, and it is really inappropriate to return to his hometown, and please ask Your Majesty to consider it as appropriate, and allow him to do his part for my Ming Dynasty." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!" Cheng Qinan, the general political envoy, came out of the column and said loudly.
Almost at the same time, several other people followed, and for a while, it seemed that Han Yi was really expected to come back.
As a result, some people quit. Then he proposed to the emperor that since this is the case, the second assistant Li Biao should also make a comeback.
In addition to these two factions, naturally there are still people who are not convinced, and have expressed their own ideas, saying that this is unfair, and it is only fair that the ministers should push it.
At this moment, it seems that the cold wind in this square is not so cold, and the crowd is excited, attacking each other, and it is more lively than the vegetable market in later generations, contrary to the desertion that originally offered advice for the filling of the treasury.
The "pop" silent whip sounded, so that the ministers remembered that there was still an emperor sitting above, which was in the middle of the great court discussion, so they shut up and returned to the list.
At the same time, the military tent in the camp of Tongzhou Jianyu, the big and small Beile, Bei Zi and so on all gathered together, and in the middle of the main seat, three and Shuo Beile sat side by side, listening to the Jianyu of a Han man kneeling in front of them.
"From the time the slave entered the Beijing Division, he found that the defense of the city was extremely weak, and in addition to piling up some rolling wood and stones, even the most basic tired answers were rare." Ao Bai excitedly announced, "And the city defense lord Man Gui and the Jingying Governor Li Fengxiang are at odds, and when the slave goes, he happens to bump into him arguing!" ”
The leaders of the Jianyu on the side all listened excitedly, and even a few of them took a few steps forward, unconsciously getting closer to listen.
"The defenders of the city were weak, and the emperor of the Ming Kingdom also asked the ministers and wealthy families in the city to pay money to strengthen the city defense. On the way to the prison when the slave was escorted, he saw Dongchang Fanzi arguing with those ministers and rich households......"
"Haha, good, good!" When Mang Gurtai heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted loudly, "The city defense is empty, and there is civil strife, what a good opportunity from God!" ”
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, and listen to it again!" When Dai Shan saw it, he said with a smile as the boss.
Mang Gurtai was in a good mood, and he didn't care when he heard it, but he smiled and said to Aobai: "Say it quickly!" ”
"......" Ao Bai then emphasized after talking about the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, "It was already dark at night, and when the minions and others swarmed out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, they saw the fire in the city, and it was said that the granary was running out of water. ”
"The slave didn't dare to stay, after finding the Yongchang ticket number, the shopkeeper explained that the emperor also dismissed the first assistant and the second assistant, and now there is chaos in the Jingshi, and it is said that the ministers of the country are ready to grab the position of the first assistant." After saying this, he bowed his head and knelt down.
This time, Huang Taiji didn't wait for Mang Gurtai to speak, and immediately praised loudly: "Well done, live up to Ben Khan's arrangement!" ”
The implication was to show the leaders of the Jianyu present that he was wise and martial, and he had expected this and made arrangements. But it is true that Ao Bai is his personal guard, and he arranged to go to Beijing.
At this moment, it doesn't matter what the letter of reconciliation will do, and no one cares.
After praising Huang Taiji, he immediately stood up and ordered loudly: "Ben Khan's military order, the army will be pulled out immediately, inherit the will of heaven, and take the capital division of the Ming Kingdom!" ”
Those Jianyu leaders had already heard it itchingly, and when they heard it, they immediately responded with a bang, and they couldn't wait to fly to the Ming Kingdom Jingshi immediately. In their opinion, the defense of the city of Beijing is not only weak, but also in civil strife, in this case, it is as easy as finding a bag to get something!
Mang Gurtai originally wanted to give orders, but he didn't want to be preempted by Huang Taiji, and then everyone agreed in a noisy and prepared to go. Seeing this, he stared at the side of Huang Taiji, and felt very unhappy in his heart, feeling a feeling of nausea like eating a fly.
It didn't take long for the exegesis on the head of Tongzhou City to be red because he didn't rest well, and he watched in amazement as the Jianyu army outside the city pulled out of the camp and left: "Jianyu attacked the city very quickly yesterday, why did he leave suddenly today, isn't it a waste of all his previous efforts?" ”
When he saw that the direction of the departure of the Jianyu army was the direction of the Jingshi, he immediately understood the purpose of the Jianyu. Now, he didn't know what to do? In desperation, he sent someone to report to Shanhaiguan urgently, and Sun Ge Lao decided.
And under the Jingshi City, a large group of Qinwang defeated soldiers were shouting to enter the city.
