As an emperor, Qin Jiyan had too many things to pay attention to. The appearance of the Dark Wind Tower made him wary, but he was destined to be unable to pay too much attention to the Dark Wind Tower.
After leaving the matter of Anfeng Tower to Zi Che, Qin Jiyan did not ask any more questions.
After discussing the plan to send troops to Xihu with Pingxi County Prince Feng Yao, Qin Jiyan secretly summoned Sijin to the palace. No one knew what the monarch and his ministers discussed.
Three days later, the third young master of the Cheng family, who had been transferred from civil service to military affairs, led his troops to surround a hilltop and captured a Xihu man who was secretly training beast soldiers, killers and dead soldiers in the valley.
The witnesses and physical evidence were all there, and Xihu could not deny it. After interrogation jointly by Jinyiwei and Liumen, it was learned that all this was a conspiracy between Xihu, Prince Rong, and King Zhou.
The Crown Prince of Rong, who is far away in the imperial mausoleum, and the King of Zhou colluded with Xihu to rebel!
The emperor was furious and immediately issued an order to take the Zhou family and Prince Rong to the capital.
After the emperor issued the decree, no one in the whole court was the king of Zhou. Prince Rong and his son also loved him, and no one said anything wrong with the emperor.
It’s not that they don’t want to say it, it’s that they don’t dare!
A few days ago, the Jin Yiwei arrested a group of people, and those people were all people who had colluded with Prince Rong and Prince Zhou. If they stand up to speak for Prince Zhou and Prince Rong at this time, in case the emperor thinks they are
They are the people of King Zhou and Prince Rong. What should they do if they are washed with blood?
At this time, let alone those who are not King Zhou and Prince Rong, even if they are, they cannot take the lead. King Zhou and Prince Rong are already in the sunset. At this time, even if they do not join the Ming Dynasty, they must protect themselves wisely.
The arrest of King Zhou and Prince Rong went very smoothly. The imperial army set off that afternoon and headed towards King Zhou's fiefdom and imperial mausoleum.
Of course, the spies of King Zhou and Prince Rong in the capital also spread the news, but they didn't know that by the time they sent the news back, the day lilies were already cold.
It was just a pretense for the Imperial Army to capture the people. Qin Jiyan had already sent the Jin Yiwei to capture the people. When the news reached the ears of Crown Prince Rong and King Zhou, these two people had already been captured by the Jin Yiwei.
After dealing with the civil strife, the next step is to liquidate the outsiders. Xihu raised an army of beasts in Da Qin's territory and used these beast armies to assassinate the emperor. This was definitely a provocation of Da Qin's national power and he did not take Da Qin seriously.
Qin Jiyan only raised his head, and a group of military generals rolled up their sleeves and shouted: "Fight, we must fight, beat Xihu to the ground, so that they will never dare to challenge our great Qin's national prestige again."
Because when Da Qin wanted to go to war with Northern Qi, the literati group headed by Feng Shoufu always advocated peace. The generals were afraid that Feng Shoufu would advocate peace again this time, so they did not give Feng Shoufu a chance to speak. They shouted loudly: "Xihu
He actually wants to kill our emperor, so what’s the point of our shame if we don’t attack Xihu? Little Xihu dares to challenge our great power of Qin, even if we destroy them, we should do it. Whoever says we can’t fight, I’ll beat him to death first.”
"Those who don't dare to fight are all cowards, they are all soft-footed shrimps without eggs. If we don't scare Xihu this time, will Xihu still take us seriously in the future?"
…
Even in the main hall, when the military generals got anxious, they did not care. They even turned their ferocious eyes on Feng Shoufu without any concealment, which made Feng Shoufu extremely depressed. He kept saying to himself silently in his heart: "
If I don’t have the same knowledge as those big gangsters, they are all a bunch of ignorant people, so I just think it’s a fart and let it go.”
Feng Shoufu kept building up in his mind. When the generals saw that Feng Shoufu and the civil servants were silent, they were even more proud. They talked very vigorously, constantly belittling Feng Shoufu and other civil servants, and then promoted themselves.
Feng Shoufu thought he was well educated, but when he heard the increasingly rude and unreliable words of this group of people, he couldn't help it. He stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. Last year there was no harvest. This year not only
There is no harvest, and the court still needs to provide grain relief. If we want to start a war against Xihu, where will our grain and grass come from?"
"Grain and grass, grain and grass?" The generals were not idiots who didn't understand anything. They understood it as soon as Feng Shoufu opened his mouth.
When they wanted to attack the Northern Qi Dynasty, they had no money. Later, they captured King Rong, King Zhao and others, and then they filled up the treasury. Now they have no food and grass. This, this...
Why is it so difficult to fight a war?
The generals looked at each other in confusion, scolding their mothers in their hearts, and unconsciously lowered their voices. They said a little weakly: "The matter of food and grass is what you need to worry about. Aren't you self-proclaimed scholars and extremely smart? How come you don't care about such a trivial matter?"
Can’t do it?”
"Little things?" Feng Shoufu really didn't want to argue with a group of big bosses, but these big bosses were really annoying. Seeing that Qin Jiyan didn't stop him, Feng Shoufu was rude and shouted directly at the other party: "Eat, drink, live and travel."
These are the four major events in life, how can they become trivial? How can General Lu not eat, drink or wear clothes?"
"When the army moves, tens of thousands of dan of food will be consumed on the first day. Are these really small things?"
"Every major war consumes thousands of weapons. Is this really a small matter?"
"After every war, countless soldiers died in battle. If we don't talk about their sacrifices, but only talk about their pensions after their death, is that a small matter?"
"If you want to fight a war, you don't need money or food. Do you really think that to fight a war, you only need to rush forward with a knife?"
"You generals are so proud every time you win a battle. Have you ever thought that if we weren't behind to handle these trivial matters for you, what would you do to move forward?"
"You only know that fighting is very hard, but you have never thought that it is not easy at all for those of us who are preparing for you at the rear."
"you……"
The military attache's knife, the civilian officer's mouth. If a civilian officer wants to criticize someone, he doesn't need to say rude words to make the other person feel ashamed.
A few times before, the generals looked proud, but after being lectured by Feng Shoufu, they all blushed and had thick stomachs. They wanted to open their mouths but didn't know what to say.
"Hmph..." A group of little brats dared to shout at him, thinking that everyone was his father!
Feng Shoufu snorted coldly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. After spraying, he straightened his clothes and with a humble face, he cupped his hands towards Qin Jiyan and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"There is nothing wrong with appointing the first assistant to serve the country and the people." Moreover, the first assistant is also very wise. Once he opens his mouth, it will be easy to talk about food and grass later.
Everyone knows about the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the reduction in grain production, and cannot hide it, otherwise the grain merchants would not wait and see.
The words of the Chief Minister Feng gave everyone a hint, that is, although Da Qin was short of food due to the Jiangnan incident, it was not so short that it was disturbing. At least the Chief Minister dared to speak openly in the court.
Say it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not committing sin." Feng Shoufu looked grateful. Qin Jiyan changed the subject, "Since Feng Shoufu has seen the problem, is there any good solution?"
