Chapter 765: The Emperor's Promise, Zhao Shen's Guidance

Chapter 765: Emperor’s promise, Zhao Shen’s guidance

"In addition, the Jinghu generation was affected by the disaster and they are also asking the court for funding.

The Zhongshu Provincial Committee is discussing this matter..."

Ma Shao also made it very clear, money is just that much money, you are the emperor, you just spend it as you see fit!

"This..." Zhao Shen frowned. What Ma Shao said is that it doesn't matter if you don't have money! Even if you are an official, no one will do it for you without a salary.

However, this once-a-year birthday cannot just pass by like this, right...

Looking at the two people who were worried, Shen Tang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, after the defeat of Tubo in the battle of Chengdu, I seized some grain and grass and more than one million in silver! Originally, I planned to report this money to Your Majesty. Whether to stay in Chengdu Prefecture.

If not, transport this part of the money back to Lin'an first and add it to the national treasury!"

"oh?"

Zhao Shen's face showed a bit of joy, "Okay, then you can send an order immediately to transport this part of the money back first."

The Tibetans swept across the entire Chengdu Prefecture, and there was naturally a lot of looting.

Shen Tang's original plan was indeed to keep the money locally. However, since Zhao Shen encountered a problem now, he would sell it to Zhao Shen first! Now is the time when he needs Zhao Shen's support. Although the money will be lucky Returning to Lin'an is also wasting it to celebrate that person's birthday, but in the end, it is better than staying there and letting those local officials get corrupted.

"Ma Shao, in that case, you should prepare the money first.

Just wait until the money from Chengdu comes back and then replenish it into the national treasury."

Zhao Shen said.

"My lord, I obey!"

Ma Shao naturally had no objection.

"Well, there are only a few days before my father's birthday, so we need to get all the necessary purchases as soon as possible! Ma Shao, please leave first!"

Ma Shao took the order and left!

After Ma Shao left, Zhao Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Shen Aiqing, this time you helped me solve another problem!"

"This matter should have been reported to Your Majesty as early as possible, but I was negligent!"

Shen Tang said respectfully.

"Shen Tang, I am going to ask you to go to Chengdu Mansion after your wedding to serve as the governor's comfort envoy! What do you think?"

Suddenly, Zhao Shen spoke.

Zhao Shen's words made Shen Tang stunned! This was naturally his expectation, but he didn't expect Zhao Shen to say it to him so straightforwardly.

The economic and strategic appeasement envoy is in charge of military and political power along the way. He is a real official in the border area. In terms of qualifications and seniority, Shen Tang is actually not qualified for this position!

Although he is far from the previous Jiedushi in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, he is still a real overlord! Especially in a border area like Chengdu Prefecture, he controls a huge army, and his power is definitely unmatched by other official positions.

However, such a position has always been extremely controversial! Under normal circumstances, with Shen Tang's qualifications, it would be almost impossible to become a road manager and comfort envoy, even with Zhao Shen's full support.

But this time, Chengdu Fulu has undergone a major overhaul. Although the Fourth Division is still there, Zhao Shen can take the opportunity to punish the criminals. In addition, Chengdu Fulu was originally pacified by Shen Tang, which gave Shen Tang the chance to take over. There is a certain possibility.

After thinking for a while, Shen Tang said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your trust. However, I am still relatively young. Although I have made a small contribution, if I want to take charge of the military and political affairs, I am afraid there will be great opposition from the court."

"That's right! So just having my support for you is not enough! If you want to decide on the position of a strategic pacifier, in addition to my support, you also need the support of the Ministry of Education and the Privy Council!"

Zhao Shen said slowly, "Zhang Jun has always been very fond of you, so with Zhang Jun here, you don't need to worry about the Privy Council.

However, Zhongshu Province, you need to think of a way! First, you need to convince Shi Hao first!"

"Although you have a good relationship with Shi Hao, establishing this position involves a lot. Even if Shi Hao won't stop you, the people behind him won't let you take the position so easily.

If you can convince Shi Hao, things will go much smoother."

"There is another difficulty. If you want to become the economic pacifier, you cannot avoid the Ministry of Civil Affairs! And if you want to persuade Chen Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it will not be easy."

"So, although I support you, whether you can succeed or not, you still need to think of some ways on your own!"

"In seven days, it will be my father's birthday! Although my father is not in the court now, he still has a lot of influence in the court! Therefore, on the occasion of my father's birthday, if the gift you give can make my father Satisfied, it will also help this matter!"

"After my father's birthday is over, some of the troops and generals who participated in the battle of Chengdu will arrive in Lin'an.

At that time, it will naturally be announced that the rewards will be given to everyone, and at the same time, your rewards and appointments will also be decided! If everything goes well before then, that is naturally the best.

But if it doesn’t work out, I’ll just assign you another job!”

"My lord, thank you very much for your kindness! Your Majesty has worked so hard, and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart! Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, I will always remember your majesty's kindness!"

Shen Tang didn't think Zhao Shen was shirking, because this was a realistic situation.

Compared to Wanyan Yong of the Jin Kingdom, Emperor Zhao Shen was indeed a bit aggrieved! In the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Yong kept his word, and the civil and military officials above the court did not dare to have any say to Wanyan Yong. No constraints! Even the Prime Minister, the Six Ministers, or overlords like Wan Yan Hao and He Shi Lie Zhining would obey Wan Yan Yong's words.

But what about Zhao Shen?

There is a Supreme Emperor suppressing him above, and hundreds of officials in the court are restraining him. If he cannot get the support of the court, even Zhao Shen's will will not be able to leave the imperial city.

Of course, this is not due to Zhao Shen's incompetence, but a problem left over from history.

Therefore, during Zhao Shen's reign, he has been reforming the civil service, military, etc., just to change this situation! However, the resistance was too great, and in the end, although it was somewhat effective, it could not be eradicated.

The promotion of Shen Tang this time is also an attempt made by Zhao Shen! Shen Tang has no foundation and can be regarded as a direct descendant of Zhao Shen. The more powerful Shen Tang is, the greater the support he will receive from Zhao Shen! It's not that he never thought about promoting some new people, but even if he did it occasionally, it was extremely difficult. Coupled with the pressure from others, he had no choice but to give up.

As for Shen Tang, although he first entered the court, he has made great achievements several times. He has the support of Zhang Jun and is on good terms with Shi Hao. He is an excellent chess piece. If used well, he may not be able to pry this stagnant water. General situation.

Zhao Shen shook his head slightly, "You are loyal to me, so I will not treat you badly! I just hope that you will not live up to my expectations of you!"

After hearing this, Shen Tang saluted respectfully, "My lord, I obey your order!"
