Chapter 296: The court is in turmoil

If you have a choice, Liu Han must want Zhuying, although she can't see it up close, but the enchanting dance has deeply attracted him, but it's a pity that she is the person of the king of Yanping County, she can't ask for it, although Danniang Fei'er is beautiful, but Liu Han doesn't want it, but she has to, because this is the woman sent by Xue Mi. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xue Mi was probably very satisfied with Liu Han's performance, but he felt that the position of the official of Jingzhao Mansion was not a big deal, and if there were talents, it would be better to send them to the city guards, Liu Han hesitated and did not insist.

At this moment, Liu Han felt that he still had to have reservations about Xue Mi, and at the same time determined the relationship with Xue Mi, they were using each other and being allies, and their own layout could not be known to him.

But the position of the official of Jingzhao Mansion must be sent in, through Xue Mi is not good, and then find a channel, he has also thought about the candidates for this channel, although the King of Qin only asked him to contact a few candidates in the imperial capital, and the official position is not high, but one of them is in the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department is subordinate to the Prime Minister's Mansion, with Shangshu, left and right servants, and four Cao, each with different subordinate officials, in addition to the world's chief arrest of the first three people, responsible for arresting such a rebellious thief like the Brotherhood.

One of the officials handed over to Liu Han by the King of Qin served in the Criminal Department, and this person named Luo Lie was the head of the Criminal Department, a seven-rank minor official but in charge of the review of criminal matters across the country. When Lao Huang introduced this, Liu Han was very surprised, because in his cognition, except for the death penalty cases in the feudal dynasty, which had to be reported to the imperial court, other cases seemed to be handled by local officials, but in Lao Huang's mouth, all criminal cases in the country that were in the yoke for more than ten days had to be reported to the Criminal Department for review, which is a great thing, how many counties in the Great Jin Dynasty, how many cases have to occur every day, almost all of these cases have to be reported to the Criminal Department for review, and how many people do the Criminal Department need to meet this workload.

"How many people have to do this," Lao Huang was even more surprised by his surprise: "Prison is the most important thing in the world, of course, we must be cautious and cautious." ”

Damn, this look seems to be a disaster to the country and the people if the final trial power is set in the state.

Anyway, there are people from King Qin in the Criminal Department, and there are people from King Qin in Yushitai, it seems that the power of this King of Qin is not large, and it is very scattered, and the news that Liu Han got from them is also very fragmentary, so he can't lift his spirits, but now he finally sees a little use of these people.

Xue Mi saw that Liu Han did not insist, and his heart was even happier, although Liu Han was a little famous in Shilin, Shilin's attention was only focused on his poetic talent and businessman status, and even the appreciation of the king of Yanping County was like this, but no one knew, what he was more powerful was strategy, and I am afraid that only he Xue Mi knew that such a talent must not be let go, and he must be in his pocket.

With Liu Han's guidance, Xue Mi was sure that the next day, the emperor handled court affairs in the imperial study as usual, Pan Lian took the scholars of Shangshutai to accompany him, and Xue Mi was still waiting outside.

The Zhongshu supervisor is not big, there are two kinds of offices here, one is a foreign official like Xue Mi, the other is a eunuch, the Zhongshu order is still temporarily replaced by the eunuch leader Mu Gonggong, Xue Mi and another scholar Ma Song served as the Huangmen squire, and there are six or seven small yellow doors below, most of these small yellow doors are small eunuchs.

The department of the middle secretary is actually quite embarrassing, the importance of this department changes with the emperor's mind, in the Taizu period, Taizu is eloquent, at that time the power of the book supervisor was great, replaced Shangshutai, became the center of the entire imperial court, but after Taizong ascended the throne, the middle book supervisor gradually declined, and finally fell to the position of drafting edicts only for the emperor, and some less important edicts, major edicts still have to be drafted in Shangshutai.

In the Wenzong period, the Zhongshu Jian could only manage the affairs of the palace, when the Zhongshu Jian was the weakest, the entire department was full of eunuchs, and the ministers of the foreign dynasty even proposed to cancel the Zhongshu Jian, until the period of Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu conquered the Quartet, felt that Shangshutai had too much power, too many constraints, and then re-enabled the Zhongshujian, since then, whenever the Shangshutai is weighted, the emperor will enable the Zhongshujian to check and balance Shangshutai, and the later emperors and ministers are well aware of this.

In the early days of Emperor Taiding, the power of the Zhongshu Jian was relatively large, but with the end of the war, Taiding Zhongxing, the Zhongshu Jian gradually declined, the power was transferred to Shangshutai, most of the edicts were also drafted by Shangshutai, and the power of the Zhongshu Supervisor has shrunk to the extent that it is no longer small, but before the death of Emperor Taiding, he quietly restored the Zhongshu Supervisor, at least the manpower of the Zhongshu Supervisor was enriched.

Ma Song was born in a poor family, he was originally a member of the prince's mansion, a seven-grade petty official, Emperor Taiding promoted him to the middle secretary before his death, but Xue Mi was promoted to the middle secretary after the new monarch ascended the throne.

"What's the matter with Taishi Pan?" Xue Mi looked at the room, there were only him and Ma Song, and there were two small yellow doors waiting boredly at the door.

Ma Song was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a slender body, a thin face, high cheekbones, deep-set eye sockets, and a keen eye, and when he heard Xue Yu's words, he raised his head and quickly looked at Xue Yu, and then looked down at Song Shu again.

"I guess it's a matter of merging states. Ma Song replied, Xue Yu was stunned, what happened to this state, he looked at Ma Song, but Ma Song still looked down at Song Shu as if he didn't know, thought for a while, and wrote a few words on the note.

Xue Mi had to ask again: "What's wrong with Bingzhou? Is it a rebellion by the border army or a violation of the border by Xianbei?"

Ma Song quickly wrote a paragraph, then put down his pen, and then turned his head to look at Xue Mi and said: "There is an accident on the grassland, the Xianbei Golden Eagle Tribe and the Mingdi Tribe in the central part of the country are fighting, Taiyuan Wang Yanqin asks for a play, is it to let the Mobei Metropolitan Protection Station send troops to intervene." ”

Xue Yu couldn't help frowning: "Why don't I know about this." ”

"Yesterday the Eight Hundred Miles Express was delivered. Ma Song sighed slightly.

Xue Mi breathed a sigh of relief, there are not many things in the middle book supervisor now, so he and Ma Song usually take turns resting, and Mu Gonggong didn't take the Zhongshu order seriously, and the main time was in the internal guard, or by the emperor's side, after the new monarch ascended the throne, he transferred Emperor Taiding's confidant eunuch Cheng Gonggong to the Zhongshu supervisor, but Princess Cheng Gong had to serve by the emperor's side, so the middle book supervisor was actually him and Ma Song, and the official positions of the two were the same, both of them were Zhongshu waiters.

"The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, this treasury is empty, what to fight. Xue Mi also sighed, sitting on the round stool, he didn't go to see Ma Song's recital, the middle secretary has no right to approve the recital, even if it is a very unimportant recital, so they read the recital for the emperor, and then according to the emperor's will, write a few sentences on the note, and then hand it to the emperor, the emperor may or may not read it, and then let the eunuchs around him approve.

"Yes, this treasury is empty, do you know, how much will be put into the treasury this autumn? It's less than three billion dollars, what is that? Masson looked angry.

Xue Mi had just entered the center, and he didn't know much about what this number meant, he wanted to ask but didn't know how to speak, so he thought for a while before asking: "If you send troops, how much will it cost?"

"It's simply impossible without two billion dollars. Ma Song sighed, Xue Mi was taken aback, this will cost two billion money, what is the remaining billion money enough for, there are so many displaced people to be appeased, there are rivers to be managed, and the military expenses of the border armies in various places, how can this work.

"It's really hard to fight. Xue Yu muttered, looking blankly at the study, the emperor seemed to be a little anxious, and his voice was a little loud, but he couldn't hear clearly through the two doors.

"Actually, even if you have money, you can't fight," Ma Song sighed, Xue Yu hurriedly turned his head to look at him, Ma Song smiled bitterly: "The border army of Bingzhou has always been the commander of Fang Hui, Fang Hui rebelled and was punished, and the border army of Bingzhou was panicked, the king of Taiyuan has not sorted it out yet, and there are many Xiongnu and Xianbei people in the border army of Bingzhou, these people want to go outside the Saiwai, what if they rebel? If this problem is not solved, can this soldier come out?"

Xue Mi nodded subconsciously, this is a big trouble, if the border army drives out of the fortress, and then there is a rebellion, resulting in the annihilation of the border army, the entire annex will be empty, those Xianbei Huns on the grassland are not blind, and then they will swing their swords into the annexed state, and the entire annexed state, and even Youzhou Yongzhou will be chaotic.

"Alas, it seems that Gu Wei is also there. Xue Mi saw Gu Wei's figure through the door, and couldn't help asking, Ma Song snorted contemptuously: "He is in charge of the imperial treasury, how can he fight if he doesn't come?"

"The emperor still wants to fight?" Xue Yu was a little surprised, Ma Song sighed bitterly, the emperor was young and vigorous, and he allowed the Hu clan to provoke, and when he got the report, he immediately wanted to send troops, if it wasn't for his persuasion, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be today's court discussion.

Xue Mi frowned, there was no money in the court, and the border army was worried, how could this send troops?

There was still a discussion in the study, and the emperor's voice was getting louder and louder, obviously angry, but there was no voice from the ministers, and the ministers were all against it.

Ma Song sighed: "Lord Xue, don't look at it, look at the heart, my Dajin looks peaceful and prosperous, but there is wind leaking everywhere." ”

"Oh," Xue Mi rolled his eyes, returned to the side of the case, and sat opposite Ma Song: "Lord Peng also had an accident in Chen Guo?"

Ma Song nodded: "Lord Peng's entourage of the Tiger Benwei Lieutenant reported that Lord Peng was assassinated and wounded, although his life was worry-free, but the assassin did not catch it, and the Tiger Benwei died seven people. ”

Xue Mi couldn't help but be furious, and stood up suddenly: "What a gut!

"Yes, you can't get rid of Chen Guojun's family, it is reported that there are three people who shot, and two of them were injured. Masson added.

Xue Mi was secretly frightened, how much turmoil Pengzhu caused in Chen Guojun, forcing those gate valve families to take risks, but I am afraid that this happened to Pengzhu's plan, and then Pengzhu was afraid that it would set off a greater bloody storm.

Ma Song looked at Xue Mi, seeing that his expression was gradually solemn, knowing that he had guessed, he sighed softly: "Chen Guojun is also worried now, Chen Guojun has thousands of soldiers in several major valve families, but Chen Guojun still has nearly 100,000 displaced people, and the family of gate lords who depend on them, I am afraid that there are three or four thousand private soldiers in total, and the imperial court has to guard against it." ”

Xue Mi nodded solemnly, the emperor acted fiercely, and it just so happened that this Pengzhu was also a fierce person, and when these two people were combined, the state affairs would probably be even more turbulent.

"Brother Ma," Xue Mi changed his name and brought the relationship between the two closer: "How do you think this matter should be handled?"

"You can't send troops to the outside world," Ma Song said categorically: "The border army of Bingzhou should be pacified, and the way to pacify the border army is first and foremost to appease the Hu generals in the border army.

Xue Mi nodded again when he heard this, but then he felt inappropriate, he completely listened to Ma Song like this, it seemed that he was incompetent, but if he didn't listen to him, the emperor would ask later, how should he answer?

Xue Mi felt that there was no one around him again!
