In the Qinzheng Hall, apart from Emperor Jing who was sitting at the head, there were many people in the hall.
A man who looked to be in his early forties and was wearing a scarlet official dress frowned and asked: "Sir Yan, how come this year's military expenditure is so much more than in previous years? Is your Ministry of War's calculations accurate?"
"Master Qin, what do you mean?" Opposite, a man with a square face and a majestic expression said calmly: "Every time the military expenditure is calculated, Yan will specially invite several math doctors from the Imperial College to help with the calculation. Why, Master Qin is suspicious of the Imperial College
Is the calculation wrong, or do you suspect that our Ministry of War is falsely reporting military expenses?"
Although the person facing him was Qin Shao, the then Minister of Household Affairs, their official positions were similar, and the middle-aged man did not need to give him any face.
As soon as Qin Huan asked, he was blocked by Yan Bing, the Minister of War, and he was naturally depressed.
There are some of Jing's top arithmetic talents in the Imperial College, and the amount of military expenditures is huge, which is not trivial. It is impossible for them to calculate wrong. Qin Huan himself will not doubt it, and even if he does doubt it, he will not say it here.
The Imperial Confucian's minister, Si Ye, and several bachelors from the Hongwen Hall were all standing nearby. There were even a few great scholars inside. Those great scholars didn't care whether they were ministers of the Ministry of Revenue or not, and they dared to doubt their professionalism here. They were sure
He will fight against himself.
As for the suspicion that the Ministry of War has falsely reported military expenditures, there is no evidence, and even His Majesty cannot say such things. Qin Huan is not that stupid, and explained: "Master Yan misunderstood, but the current situation of the national treasury, Master Yan must also understand that as an official
As the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is his duty to inquire about every payment clearly, and I hope that Mr. Yan will not mind it."
Yan Bing glanced at him and then said: "In the past few years, the country was stable and there was no war, so military expenditures were naturally low. Although the results of this campaign are remarkable, the cost is not small, whether it is food, grass, ordnance, including
Soldiers' salaries all require money, Master Qin, don't think too simply."
Qin Huan thought for a moment, nodded, and finally said nothing.
Although the national treasury is tight, the money will still be squeezed out no matter what...but the days to come may be even more difficult.
"The matter of military expenditure is important. We will discuss it later. The two beloved ministers will wait aside for a while." Emperor Jing came down from above and said something to the two of them. He then looked at the few people waiting aside and asked, "I don't know.
Why did these great scholars enter the palace?"
Among the people in the Imperial College and the Hongwen Hall, three were old men with white hair and beards. Although their official positions were not high, they had been preaching and teaching all their lives and had made great achievements. Even Emperor Jing would give them enough respect.
An old man stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Jing and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard that Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, is teaching arithmetic to the princes and princesses in Bowen Hall at a young age. I wonder if this is possible?"
"It is true." A strange look flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes, and he nodded.
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly." The old man stroked his beard and said: "This matter is really ridiculous. Li Yi is just a favor from His Majesty the Emperor. He was granted the title of Prince of Chang'an County. At a young age, he only has the reputation of being a scholar. It shows that
This person's knowledge is shallow. How can such a person become the teacher of the prince and princess? How can Li Yi be so virtuous? With this move, where will the Imperial Academy's Hongwen Museum be located?"
The old man's words were extremely direct, and Emperor Jing was unable to respond for a moment.
On the side, Qin Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs, looked at the people in the Hongwen Hall of the Imperial Academy, and a strange light appeared on his face. Those people finally took action against Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County.
The incident of Chang'an County Prince's beating of the King of Shu has come to an end. Because this matter involves a lot of things, once it gets bigger, the reputation of the King of Shu will be ruined. Therefore, officials of the King of Shu, including the Prime Minister of Qin, have made a rare choice.
Silence, did not embarrass Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, on this matter.
However, it is also impossible for this matter to be revealed so easily.
If they had only shown a slight interest in Chang'an County a few days ago, after that day, Li Yi officially became a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
He only did one thing, and the long-term hard work of countless people was wasted. The Chang'an County prince will not be able to get rid of the evil in his heart.
The words of this Imperial Confucian scholar may be the first step in their attack.
You must know that these two places are within the sphere of influence of Qin Xiang and his officials.
Qin Huan glanced at Yan Bing, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, who was opposite him, and saw that his face was expressionless. He thought, given his relationship with the Li family, he didn't say a word at this moment?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Majesty is discussing important matters with several adults. Your Highness cannot go in..." Suddenly there was a loud noise at the door of the palace, temporarily breaking the atmosphere in the palace, and everyone's eyes were looking in the direction of the door.
"Father..." Jin King Li Han dodged the two eunuchs and ran in with a groan. Just after he said this, he couldn't help but froze for a moment when he saw so many people in the palace.
Except for his father, he didn't know most of the people in the hall, but the two old men standing over there were the teachers who taught him Confucian classics and history. Li Han felt a little dizzy when he saw them, and whispered:
"Father, please be busy first. Han'er will wait for you outside."
Emperor Jing was busy with state affairs and had little time to educate his children. He remembered that the last time he saw Jin Wang Li Han, his face was rounder than now. Unexpectedly, not long after that, he had lost so much weight.
She couldn't help but feel a little distressed and guilty. She touched his head and said, "It's okay. Han'er will go over there and play alone for a while. I'll accompany you after my father has finished handling the matter."
Li Han nodded and walked toward the desk above alone.
Emperor Jing's expression was a little dazed. In his memory, Prince Jin had always been naughty, uninterested in his studies, and liked to play. When we meet again today, he has grown so much and has become so well-behaved and sensible. As a father, he has nothing to do with his children.
When you grow up, you don’t even know...
As an emperor, he is undoubtedly qualified, but as a father... Emperor Jing sighed in his heart, and his expression couldn't help but darken a lot.
The appearance of King Jin was just a small episode. Seeing him walking towards the back, a secretary from the Imperial College stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Li Yi abandoned the calculation method and introduced the Ah...Aber numbers. This is actually forgetting his roots.
For example, how can such a person who has forgotten his ancestors become the teacher of the prince?"
"The prince's education is a top priority. Your Majesty must not be hasty. Is it possible that our Imperial Prince, who has a doctorate in mathematics, cannot compare to a mere scholar?"
"Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, is immoral and incompetent. How can he teach the princes of my dynasty? Please think twice, don't let the princes be deceived..."
"If this matter spreads out, I'm afraid it will make all the people laugh and think that there is no one in our country's prison!"
…
…
Everyone in the Imperial College and Hongwen Hall did not feel the change in Emperor Jing's mood, so they stepped forward one after another with sharp words and only one request.
Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, has neither talent nor virtue, and is not qualified to be the teacher of the princes and princesses. In order to avoid the princes being delayed, a doctor of arithmetic from the Imperial Academy should be selected to teach them arithmetic in person. As for Li Yi, the son of Chang'an County, where did he come from?
, where should we go back...
Everyone in the Hongwen Hall of the Imperial Academy tried to persuade Emperor Jing. On the desk, Jin Wang Li Han was not interested in the conversation over there. He sat on a chair that did not match his body and looked around for a while. Feeling a little bored, he caught a glimpse of the things spread out on the table.
A memorial, I glanced at it casually, saw something familiar, and leaned over with interest...
