Hearing the emperor's question about the military pay at the border, Liu Yu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, quickly winked at Lei Ying and told him to stop talking. If this layer of cover was lifted, I'm afraid he would offend many people, and then the entire court would be afraid.

All the ministers in the capital must be enemies of him. Because this matter does not belong to one person, but most officials in the capital have benefited. How can they touch such a huge interest group?

Lei Ying, however, seemed not to have seen his eyes, and bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. The funds allocated by the imperial court have never been distributed to the border in full. As soon as I left the Household Department, I was deducted twice.

Coupled with the fact that the generals from all over the country are living on empty wages and drinking the blood of their soldiers, I am afraid that it will only have four or five layers in the hands of border soldiers."

When the emperor heard this, he didn't understand anything. Although he grew up in a deep palace, he knew the world better. When Lei Ying said this, he understood the problem. Not only did he not get angry now,

, instead became quiet. You must know that he cannot delve into this matter now. Firstly, his throne is unstable and he needs the support of these civil servants who have benefited from it. Secondly, the army has always been a taboo of the Supreme Emperor, and he is never allowed to touch it.

.

So the emperor immediately changed the subject, "Don't talk about this, I don't want to hear it. I just want to know how to resist the Tatar invasion this year."

Lei Ying was stunned for a moment when he heard what the emperor said, but he immediately understood that the emperor did not want to care about this matter. Therefore, his eyes dimmed.

But the emperor's question had to be answered. Lei Ying thought carefully about the people in the government and the public. I am afraid that only Jia Ke can take on the important task of resisting the Tatars. In the war against the Tatars for so many years, only Jia Ke

He led the troops and defeated the Tatars one after another. Others had encountered the Tatar army and they all collapsed at the first touch.

Although it was already known that Jia Ke was the emperor's mortal enemy, he could not care so much about important court affairs and the fate of the country now.

Lei Ying made up his mind and once again handed over his hands and said to the emperor: "Long live, then there is only one last solution. Please ask the emperor to make Jia Ke a general. Let him command the elites of the nine sides. Depending on his ability and prestige, he will definitely be able to defeat the Tatars."

People, so that the people of the Central Plains will not be ravaged again."

When the emperor heard what Lei Ying said, his expression immediately changed, and his eyes when looking at Lei Ying became fierce, as if he suddenly turned into a man-eating wolf and wanted to eat Lei Ying alive.

Lei Ying was frightened by the emperor's eyes. Ever since he took refuge with the emperor, the emperor had always respected him and relied on him. How could he have ever encountered something like this?

The emperor finally suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth and said to Lei Ying: "Don't mention this matter again. If you have any other way, report it immediately."

Lei Ying frowned and thought for a long time, and he was really asked to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. He immediately handed over his hand and said to the emperor: "Long live, I have a way to get the best of both worlds."

"What can I do? Tell me quickly." The emperor was already a little impatient at this time.

"Long live, it's better to send Wang Ziteng to patrol Jiubian. Wang Ziteng is quite capable. He can at least temporarily fend off the Tatars when he goes to Jiubian. Moreover, Wang Ziteng is a member of the Supreme Emperor, so the Supreme Emperor will not stop him from being promoted." Lei Ying

Now he seems somewhat confident.

"Then there is Wang Ziteng, who can also be regarded as Jia Ke's uncle. With his face, Jia Ke's old troops in Xuanfu and Liaodong Town will probably not go against the will. In this way, he will be foolproof in the capital. As long as he is careful elsewhere,

Rectification can also resist the Tatar attack." Lei Ying vomited out all his plans at this time.

After hearing this, the emperor fell into deep thought. This is a way. Now as long as Jia Ke is not allowed to go to Jiubian to control the army, he can accept any other way.

But Liu Yu, the official secretary next to him, was an old official. He thought more deeply than the emperor had thought. He turned the idea around in his mind for a few times, and suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "Gao, it's really Gao."

, Brother Lei still has a way."

The emperor was startled by his voice, but when he looked up and saw his beaming expression, he knew that he had guessed the secret, so he quickly asked: "Liu Aiqing, what is the secret of this method? Tell me about it."

.”

"Your Majesty, if Wang Ziteng goes to the border, it will be equivalent to breaking a section of Jia Ke's arm in the capital. At that time, we recommend Brother Lei to take charge of the capital camp instead of Wang Ziteng. In this way, he can be regarded as having a part of the army that can be controlled by Jia Ke, who is controlled by the Supreme Emperor.

Let’s have a good fight.” Liu Yu said excitedly.

In his mind, the generals must be restrained by their civil servants, otherwise the world will not be in great chaos. As soon as Prince Teng leaves, they will jointly submit a letter recommending Lei Ying, an old minister of the Supreme Emperor, as long as the Supreme Emperor does not pay attention to agree

By then, the emperor would have the ability to compete with the Supreme Emperor.

At this time, the emperor also figured out the key and walked around the hall excitedly. If this plan succeeds, it will be of great benefit to him. Even if it fails, there will be no loss to him. So what?

Why not give it a try?

Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu, has not said a word until now. He just feels that these gentlemen in his eyes are now so ferocious and hateful. They are much worse than Jia Ke. Although Jia Ke has some losses in small matters, at least

Jia Ke has always been impartial and selfless in such important matters that influence the country. However, the emperor and other ministers in the palace are fighting for power and gain, and they have no regard for the interests of the country. It is really chilling.

At this time, the balance in Tian Ye's heart couldn't help but tilt to Jia Ke's side.

The emperor was sitting in the middle. He patted the table and said to the people below: "That's it. You go back and discuss it separately. You can bring this matter up during the court meeting in a few days. It's best to settle the matter on that day.

We have decided to give the Supreme Emperor and Hyperthyroidism a surprise and not allow them time to react."

So several of the emperor's ministers below raised their hands together and shouted "Long live the emperor", thus agreeing to the emperor's request.

The emperor was discussing military and state affairs here, and the emperor was not idle either. Of course, the emperor did not summon ministers to discuss state affairs. He was waiting for the report from the spies.

Since the abdication of the Supreme Emperor, although he still holds great power, as the Emperor's control over the affairs of the court becomes deeper and deeper, and his prestige in the hearts of the ministers becomes higher and higher, the Supreme Emperor's fear of the Emperor becomes deeper and deeper, so now

The Supreme Emperor wanted to focus all his energy on the Emperor, as he was really afraid that the Emperor would do something to kill his father and force him into the palace.

Therefore, during this period of time, the Emperor's surveillance of the Emperor became more and more strict. Even if the Emperor casually said a word to a eunuch, the words would be placed on the Emperor's desk the next day.

In Ningshou Palace, the Supreme Emperor lay on a soft couch with his eyes closed. Although autumn is about to begin, the weather is still very hot. There are a lot of ice cubes placed everywhere in Ningshou Palace, and

The palace maid waved a brocade fan for him beside the Supreme Emperor.

The emperor had already fallen asleep at this time before, which was also the advice given to him by the imperial doctor, but today he is still waiting for someone, waiting for someone to pass the news to him.

Dai Quan soon walked in from outside the palace gate, and then walked gently to the side of the Supreme Emperor. He took the fan from the palace maid's hand, waved her hand to let her go down, and then took over her work and gently slapped the Supreme Emperor.

Come on.

The Supreme Emperor seemed to be asleep, and there was no movement until the time of one stick of incense passed. Then the Supreme Emperor asked: "Have everyone left over there?"

Dai Quan Jingsheng replied: "If you go back to the Supreme Emperor, everyone will leave."

"What did those people say? Could it be that they wanted to kill me, an old man?" Although the Supreme Emperor's face was expressionless, his tone was full of helplessness. He didn't expect that the father and son would be so suspicious.

When Dai Quan heard the Supreme Emperor's question, he didn't dare to answer for a moment. He didn't know whether the Emperor's preparation for military power was considered as an evil plot.

The Supreme Emperor waited for a while, but when Dai Quan didn't answer, he asked unhappily: "Could it be that they really want to assassinate the king?"

Dai Quan did not dare to neglect this time, and replied truthfully to the Supreme Emperor: "Long live my lord, the emperor has summoned the ministers and discussed it. They plan to jointly protect Prince Teng and go to inspect the nine borders to stabilize the border resistance.

Tatar."

The emperor nodded after hearing these words and said: "Wang Ziteng still has some abilities. His visit to the border can at least make the generals of Jiubian fearful and arrange the defense properly this year. What else did they say? It won't be just like this.

Son."

Dai Quan really didn't dare to say more about these last words, but the Emperor asked again urgently. He thought about it in his mind before replying: "Long live my lord, your Majesty wants to wait until Lord Wang Ziteng is promoted."

, and asked all the ministers to submit a memorial together, recommending Lei Ying, Minister of War, Minister of War and Aircraft, to take over the troops and horses left by Master Wang Ziteng."

The Supreme Emperor sat there and sneered, "I knew they wouldn't have any good intentions. I have only been the emperor for a few months, and I can't bear the loneliness. I am an old man who doesn't like me." At this time, he felt that he had no good intentions at that time.

, it is even more believed that it is correct to reuse Jia Ke and other confidants to control the troops. This emperor kept making small moves before he ascended the throne, and became more frequent after he ascended the throne. It seems that he is unwilling to be lonely.

"Tell me anything else. I've been through so many storms, but these things can't scare me." The emperor's tone became colder and colder. Although he gave up the throne to the present for the sake of his ancestors' inheritance, Jiangshan Sheji, but in his

Before you die, you still don't want to give up the power in your hands, because power is like a poppy. When you have it, you don't feel anything, but once you lose it, you may die.

Dai Quan is also a little cautious. Ever since the emperor abdicated and became the Supreme Emperor, Xia Shouzhong, who is beside the new emperor, has been fighting for power with him. This is to take the power of the secret agent from his hands. How can he tolerate this?

Anyway, the emperor was already determined to fight against the old emperor, so it was not too much to add some fuel and jealousy to him. In the end, they could kill Xia Shouzhong together and let everyone in the palace know that he, Dai Quan, was still their old grandfather.

Dai Quan then shed tears and threw himself at the feet of the Supreme Emperor with some choked sobs. After a while, he began to burst into tears.

The Supreme Emperor was stunned for a moment, then gently pushed him away with his foot. He still cared very much about this old man who had been with him for decades.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. What do you look like when you cry? Didn't someone bully you? Tell me clearly so that I can make the decision for you." The Supreme Emperor said warmly to the old slave kneeling on the ground.
