After Yan Huisheng listened to the emperor's words, he also understood what the emperor meant.
His good father, the eldest and second brothers who had supported him over the years, had almost emptied all the money in the household department. In the past, he didn't know about Su Rong's existence, and he was not prepared to fight with the Wei Dynasty at all, so he spent so much money.
Money is like running water, and the money bag of the treasury keeps flowing out, either to the Nanping Marquis Mansion or to the Pingxi General Mansion.
Now that he has learned about Su Rong's existence, and because Ye Guixue has brought the king's order from the King of Southern Chu, Daliang must be ready to raise troops. In this way, the army's salary will require a large expenditure from the treasury, and all of a sudden the war will begin.
He was caught off guard.
Hu Bu couldn't get the money, so his good father Huang found him.
Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor, "What does your father mean by calling your son to come?"
The emperor also looked at him, "Feng Chang is here. I have already asked him. The savings in the household department are not enough to support the war. But the King of Nanchu, from the attitude of Ye Guixue when he brought the king's life, it can be seen that Nanchu
Wang is resolute and wants to truly recognize Su Rong Tangtang. Therefore, I would like to ask your opinion, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Yan Huisheng turned to the Minister of Household Affairs and asked, "Master Feng, how much money is left in the treasury?"
Feng Chang stretched out a trembling finger and said, "Go back to Your Highness the Crown Prince, I still have less than ten million taels."
The huge national treasury in Daliang has less than ten million taels of silver. This is a big joke. An ordinary wealthy businessman might be able to spend one million taels.
Yan Huisheng stared at Feng Chang. Feng Chang wanted to lower his head into the cracks in the ground. Yan Huisheng turned around silently and looked at the emperor silently.
The emperor finally regained some of his composure. Under Yan Hui's silent explanation, he was a little bit embarrassed. However, as an emperor, he still had to maintain the dignity and majesty that an emperor should have in front of his son, so he could only tighten his face.
Yan Huisheng didn't say anything. He glanced at the emperor silently, then withdrew his gaze and said, "I would like to trouble Master Feng to find out where the money from the treasury has gone in recent years, except for disaster relief."
Feng Chang knew best in his heart where the flow was going, and His Majesty also knew it. He believed that His Highness the Crown Prince also knew it. But since he knew it clearly, His Highness the Prince must have a motive for saying this. He said cautiously: "Wherever it goes, you can't come back."
Already."
Yan Hui said: "If you use a large amount of money from the national treasury, you must make corresponding contributions or political achievements for the national treasury. Furthermore, there is sufficient food and salary for the soldiers and horses. If the country needs it, you should take the lead."
Feng Chang shouted in his heart. His Highness the Crown Prince's words meant to tell His Majesty that the eldest prince and the second prince's in-laws had taken the money, so they should not do anything serious. In addition, he should not have anything happen to him, so he was the only one to be looked after.
My son, he should also find the two people who are supported by him and figure out a solution together.
He secretly raised his eyes and looked at the emperor.
The emperor was naturally not a fool, and understood what Yan Huisheng meant. He nodded sullenly, "The prince is right, Feng Aiqing, go and investigate. Once you find out, report it to me."
Feng Chang should be.
The emperor replied to Yan again: "Even if this is the case, I'm afraid it can only solve a temporary urgent need, not a long-term solution."
Yan Huisheng naturally knew it, and said again, "Father, please clear the court!"
The emperor frowned, "What kind of purge method?"
Yan Huisheng suggested, "After the several major cases in the hands of King Ruian are revealed, I hope that my father will not be merciful. For someone with such financial resources and ability to raise dead soldiers in the capital to cause trouble, a single house raid would probably be worth half of the money."
A treasury."
The emperor immediately sat up straight.
Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor, "Father, in his later years, the late emperor was ruined by his soft-heartedness, corrupt officials were rampant, and the corruption corrupted the imperial court. You are still in your prime, and the situation in the Liang Dynasty can still be saved. I hope that father
Your Majesty, please don’t make the big mistake of the previous Emperor. It’s too late to regret it.”
The emperor heard him say that he was in his prime, and these four words hit his heart. What he feared most was that he was getting old, and his son was growing stronger day by day, waiting to succeed him.
Position, this is not a pleasant thing to think about, and it is also what makes him hate Yan Huisheng the most in recent years. But now, he is standing in front of him, saying that he is in his prime, does it also mean that he
The underlying meaning is that Father, you still have a long time, and you really don’t need to be so defensive and fearful towards his son, like an enemy?
The emperor looked at Yan Huiwei.
Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor calmly.
There is a silent air flowing between father and son.
After a long time, the emperor relaxed his tense expression and echoed to Yan: "You are right."
Before the death of the late emperor, he issued an edict to punish himself, called him to his bedside, and told him not to follow in his footsteps. However, over the years, he had forgotten the last words of the late emperor, and had forgotten that the country was in danger at that time.
dilemma.
The emperor's breathing became heavier. He stood up slowly and patted Yan Huisheng's shoulder, "I will urge King Ruian to handle the case as soon as possible. From now on, you can assist in managing the household department! We must fill the household department as soon as possible."
Yan Hui nodded, "My son, I obey."
Over the years, the emperor had controlled the Ministry of Household Affairs to death. He would reject all petitions to the East Palace and the Protector's Palace, and he was too lenient with others. Now that the treasury was empty, he finally let the Ministry of Household Affairs go.
After retiring from Mingde Hall, Yan Huisheng did not feel too relaxed, but felt a little heavy.
Feng Chang caught up with Yan Huisheng and said cautiously, "Your Highness, the household department is rich, but is there any other way?"
Yan Huisheng glanced at him, "Isn't this what Master Feng should be thinking about?"
Feng Chang choked.
Yan Hui walked forward slowly.
Feng Chang followed suit. He felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was now his life-saving straw. If His Majesty did not allow him to resign, he would be very worried about money for a long time in the future.
After walking out of the palace gate and quickly getting on the carriage, Yan Huisheng finally turned around and said to Feng Chang, "Master Feng should visit my eldest and second brothers more recently. It is useless for you to follow Gu."
After saying this, Yan Huisheng got into the carriage.
Feng Chang's heart collapsed. Seeing Yan Huisheng's carriage leave, he thought with a headache that His Highness and His Highness were very ambitious. Although it was easy to ask for money from the treasury, if they were asked to take money from their pockets, they would probably refuse to do so.
.Where can he get it?
But when he thought again, he couldn't take it out, and His Majesty was there, and he suddenly felt a little relieved.
Naturally, the emperor's movements today could not be hidden from anyone. In the morning, he met Ye Guixue and the old protector of the country. Later, he summoned Feng Chang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and then called Yan Huisheng into the palace.
The eldest prince Yan Li and the second prince Yan Lin couldn't sit still, so they sent people to find out what the emperor had said to these people. After asking for a long time, they found out that except for Eunuch Yu, who was in charge of the Mingde Palace, everyone else was there.
I was sent away and couldn't find out at all.
As for Yu An, no one can pry anything out of his mouth.
Yan Lin found Yan Li and said, "Brother, we can't just be kept in the dark."
Yan Li glanced at Yan Lin, "Then how do you know? Go and pry Yu An's mouth open?"
If Yan Lin could pry Yu An's mouth open, why would he be here scratching his head? He looked at Yan Li, "Brother, why did you stop Ye Guixue today?"
Yan Li's face turned green when he mentioned Ye Guixue, "He's a ungrateful person. I asked him to join us to deal with Zhou Gu and Dong Gong, but he didn't agree."
Yan Lin suddenly realized, "He doesn't want to offend Su Rong, so of course he won't agree. Brother, what you did is too obvious. You should find him secretly. Maybe he will agree."
Yan Li paused, recalling Ye Guixue's expression, and shook his head, "I may not agree. He is not the only one in Nanchu who can cooperate. Isn't the Nangong family a good helper? I don't believe it. The Nangong family is happy to watch.
Ye Guixue picked up Su Rong and returned to Nanchu smoothly."
Yan Lin immediately said: "Brother is right, then you should contact the Nangong family as soon as possible."
Yan Li snorted and looked at him, "What about you? Let me take the lead in everything. Second brother, you have a good plan."
Yan Lin immediately stopped, "What did the eldest brother say? The second brother will naturally be with you in everything."
Yan Li stared at him, "This is what you said. If you don't overthrow the prince, you and I will always be in the same boat. Just understand."
Yan Lin nodded, "I don't need to tell you, brother, I understand that the prince is the person we want to get rid of together. Don't worry, brother!"
There is no emotional line in the plot of the recent court situation. You can just keep writing. See you tomorrow~
