Yu Jie lifted up his hem, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu lived in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. He witnessed too many military commanders rebelling and their lives were in ruins, so that when he founded the country, he followed the principles of the noble and the weak.
national policy.
This national policy castrates the courage of military generals and encourages the evil desires of civil servants. If this continues, if we encounter a strong enemy, how can we survive?"
When Yu Jie said this, he paused and glanced at Zhao Yun secretly. He saw that Zhao Yun's expression was serious and solemn, but he did not look angry.
Yu Jie continued: "During the Jingkang period, we encountered the disaster of the Jin Kingdom. The world changed greatly and was deeply humiliated. Now a powerful tribe has arisen in the north. I heard that they defeated the Jin Kingdom to a complete defeat. They lost thousands of miles of land and even the capital was destroyed.
Forced to relocate, I believe that once the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, our Song Dynasty will definitely repeat the story of Jingkang. By then, it will be too late to regret."
"So?" Zhao Yun asked calmly.
Yu Jie felt a sudden change in his heart. He didn't understand whether Zhao Yun's words meant worry or anger, but now that he had reached this point, he could only express all his opinions.
Yu Jie continued: "I cannot change the hundreds of years of decay in the imperial court, so I only hope to do my best. If I can take charge, it will be the cornerstone for us to reshape the Song Dynasty and extend the life of the Song Dynasty."
"Hahaha,,,"
Zhao Yun burst out laughing, frightening Gao Shi. There were also the Xiaohuangmen, the palace maids, and the guards outside the palace on one side. They were all covered in cold sweat. Just what Yu Jie said just now, it would not take more than a hundred kills.
.
Yu Jie's heart was also beating fast. Yu Jie knocked his head heavily on the ground, waiting for Zhao Yun's announcement.
Zhao Yun's laughter was too powerful.
"Where are you going?"
After laughing, Zhao Yun regained his dignity and asked seriously.
"I want to go to Sichuan and Shu, which will be our biggest barrier in the future of the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Yun was moved, Sichuan and Sichuan were the front lines against the Jin Dynasty, and would also be the front lines against the Mongols in the future. Yu Jie could have such an ambition at a young age, and he was worthy of being one of the most outstanding figures in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "You are still young and do not have enough qualifications. If you are in charge and cannot intimidate the soldiers and generals, I will give you an errand. If you complete it, you will be qualified enough."
Yu Jie was excited and asked quickly: "Your Majesty, please send me. I will not give up even if I die."
Zhao Yun stood up, walked down the imperial steps, walked in front of Yu Jie, reached out and took his hand, and pulled him out of the palace.
Zhao Yun was so close to Yu Jie. This scene not only stunned Yu Jie, but Gao Shi and others were also surprised. They didn't expect that Zhao Yun valued Yu Jie so much and were so close that Zhao Yun actually held his hand in person!
Walking outside the hall, Zhao Yun pointed to the north and said: "A hero appeared in the far north. His name was Temujin. He unified all the Mongolian tribes and made Mongolia prosperous. He was revered by the Mongols as Genghis Khan. He destroyed Hua."
La Zimo severely damaged the Kingdom of Jin and Xixia. Yu Jie, you go to see him on my behalf and tell him that I want to share the world equally with him."
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, his face was serious and calm, revealing extremely strong self-confidence, which was awe-inspiring.
Yu Jie widened his eyes and looked at the young emperor in front of him in disbelief. At this time, his excited and hot heart was beating violently.
On November 22, the 17th year of Jiading, Yu Jie was appointed by Zhao Yun as the ambassador to promote the association and officially went to Mongolia.
When Yu Jie left Lin'an, a fast horse entered Lin'an City in a hurry.
He rushed straight to the palace and handed over a memorial that was related to the lives and deaths of millions of people. Soon, the memorial was sent to the political hall and appeared on the desk of the left prime minister Zheng Qingzhi.
Zheng Qingzhi opened the memorial and took a look. It turned out to be a memorial from Zheng Sun, the envoy of Sichuan Province. The content was to ask why the military pay totaling two million guan in the first half of this year had not been received.
Sichuan soldiers have no military pay, often make troubles, and the morale of the military is unstable. We hope that the imperial court will allocate military pay as soon as possible to stabilize the morale of the military;
Zheng Qingzhi frowned, feeling that the situation was serious, so he personally went to Cheng Bi, the envoy of the Third Division, to inquire about military pay.
The three ministers were in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, Duzhi, Salt and Iron, and were the money bag of the imperial court. The God of Wealth, the payment of soldiers' pay and official salaries had to be approved by the three ministers before they could be released from the treasury.
Cheng Mi asked his subordinates to inquire, and then looked through the accounts and found that the money was approved on February 7, April 5, and July 16 this year, totaling two million yuan, and all of it had been sent out.
.
At the same time, Cheng Bi also found Zhen Dexiu and asked him to check the records of the Ministry of Household Affairs. He found that the time above was correct and that three military pay packages were indeed sent to Sichuan in those three days.
Zheng Qingzhi's face changed color and he asked: "Now that it has been sent, what about the money? Why hasn't Zheng Sheng received it yet?"
Cheng Mi had just taken over the Third Division, and Zhen Dexiu had just taken over the Household Department. Naturally, they did not understand the situation a few months ago, so they had no choice but to ask various subordinate officials.
But the subordinate officials also said they didn't know.
From this point of view, the only choice is to ask the former Third Secretary Hu Jie.
The matter was so important that Zheng Qingzhi personally came to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and asked Hu Jie.
Hu Jie had been detained by the Ministry of Punishment for his involvement in Shi Miyuan's major rebellion. Days of interrogation had left him mentally exhausted and weak.
Hu Jie said: "All the money has been distributed. Shi Miyuan agreed to distribute it and I approved the withdrawal."
"What about the money? Where did it go?" Zheng Qingzhi asked forcefully.
Hu Jie gasped for breath and said: "I don't know about this. I just signed and stamped it. The person who participated in the transportation was Fan Chu, the transshipment envoy. You can ask him."
Zheng Qingzhi had no choice but to find Fan Chu, who is now the Minister of Industry.
Fan Chu's previous official position was Lin'an transfer envoy, and he handled the money, food and military pay sent to various places every year.
When Fan Chu heard Zheng Qingzhi's intention, he thought about it, shook his head and said, "No such thing, I have never sent these three military pay, and the Political Affairs Hall has not informed the Transportation Department about the delivery of Sichuan military pay. Why don't you ask the Cangbu envoy?
, to see who took the money from him."
There was no other way, Zheng Qingzhi could only order someone to find Zhao Miao, the warehouse envoy responsible for guarding the treasury.
Zhao Miao quickly checked the accounts and finally replied: "These three sums of money were withdrawn by the Lin'an Transfer Department. The names recorded at that time were Li He, Wang Cheng, and Ge Tianqi. They were holding documents signed by Shi Miyuan and Hu Jie
, came to the treasury to withdraw the money."
While talking, Zhao Miao took out the autographs of the three people and the documents signed by the Zhengshitang that were retained at that time, and showed them to Zheng Qingzhi. There were no problems with the procedures.
"Why did you go around to the Transshipment Department again?"
After Zheng Qingzhi saw it, he immediately ordered people to go to the Transportation Department to find Li He, Wang Cheng, and Ge Tianqi for questioning. However, he found that there was no such person. Lin'an Transportation Department had never had these three people.
Zheng Qingzhi was stunned and didn't know what to do. This chapter has been completed!
