The tenth collect eight hundred and seventieth chapters
Chapter 870
Hearing Tang Yin's question, the ministers present looked at each other in confusion, and no one said anything. After waiting for a long time, Qi Heng walked out from among the generals, raised his hands and asked, "I wonder which legion the king wants to send to besiege the Shenchi?"
Tang Yin glanced at Qi Heng and asked half-jokingly: "How about I just send you the Ninth Army?"
Qi Heng shrank his neck and did not dare to answer. He was asked to go to the battlefield and face off against the enemy. Even if he faced thousands of troops, he was not afraid at all. But if he was asked to besiege Shenchi, he really had no idea.
There are also one hundred and twenty people who are unwilling.
When Tang Yin saw this, he laughed out loud and said: "It's not your Ninth Army's turn to besiege the Divine Pond. I plan to send the Pingyuan Army and the Sky Eagle Army there!"
Xiao Muqing and Ziying, who were standing in the court hall, both came out and said loudly: "The final general will definitely live up to the mission of the king!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction. This is what a commander of an army should say!
Seeing the king's dissatisfaction with him, Qi Heng quickly explained: "The general is not afraid of Shenchi, but... Shenchi is mountainous and not suitable for the formation of the Ninth Army..."
Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupted what he was saying, raised his eyes to look at the other people, and said: "If you have something to do, leave the court if there is nothing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiu hurriedly stepped out of the queue, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is rare for Elder Huangfu and Elder Jin to come to our country of Feng. I wonder if I can invite these two elders to visit Lingwu Academy!"
Zhang Xiu is the dean of Lingwu Academy in the capital city of Feng Kingdom. If these two Lingwu masters can be invited to Lingwu Academy, even if they only give some advice, the gentlemen and students of Lingwu Academy will benefit a lot.
.
Of course Tang Yin would not object to this matter, but he could not help Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan make a decision. He turned to look at them and asked with a smile: "Two elders, what do you think?"
Huangfu Xiutai secretly said trouble, and was about to refuse, but Jin Xuan replied first: "Okay! After the court is over, Elder Huangfu and I will go to Lingwu Academy to learn more."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiu's face was full of surprise, he bowed deeply to Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan, and said hurriedly: "Thank you two elders for that."
Huangfu Xiutai shook his head helplessly, and at the same time glanced at Jin Xuan dissatisfied.
Zhang Xiu returned to his original position with satisfaction, and Zhang Zhe, the imperial censor, stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has built more than a hundred Lingwu academies, military academies and academies in Fengdi, which has cost money and manpower.
, I wonder if your Majesty will continue the construction?"
"Build it!" Tang Yin said immediately without even thinking about it: "Of course we must continue to build it! I have already said that Lingwu Academy, Military Academy, and Academy must be popularized in Fengdi first, no matter how much money is spent,
Manpower and resources must be given to me to continue building it!" After a pause, he frowned and asked: "There was a lot of silver shipped back from Andi earlier, so I can't even build a few colleges and academies.
Bar?"
Zhang Zhe said seriously: "Recently, disasters have occurred in various parts of our country. Countless amounts of money have been allocated for disaster relief alone. In addition, there are dozens of counties and cities. The counties have sent letters to the imperial court, requesting city expansion, and the imperial court needs to allocate funds.
Silver, so..."
"So, you want to tell me that the treasury of this kingdom is empty again?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows. Feng State annexed Anguo, and all the money accumulated by Anguo fell into its own hands. Such a huge amount of silver was sent back to Zhenjiang.
It’s all gone?
"It is true, Your Majesty, although the treasury is not empty, it is no longer rich." Zhang Zhe said truthfully.
In fact, it is easy to understand. No matter how much money Anguo has accumulated, it is still relative to the area of Anguo. Putting Anguo's money in the current huge Fengguo, it is nothing at all. Each county will ask for some.
There isn't much left.
"It's so good, why do all the counties and counties have to expand? Are all the places in Feng Country really prosperous to that extent?"
When it comes to internal affairs, Tang Yin feels a headache when he thinks about the complicated, unclear and unclear relationships between officials and officials.
Zhang Zhe was speechless, and Shangguan Yuanji, who was in charge of internal affairs, was speechless. All the civil servants lowered their heads, and no one spoke.
Tang Yin took a deep breath, rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice: "The expansion of cities in various places can be postponed, but the construction of colleges and academies must not be stopped. Whether or not the city is expanded will have little impact, but the source of talents will be lost.
The country will be destroyed."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I understand." Zhang Zhe responded with his hands raised, then took a deep look at Shangguan Yuanji and stepped back.
Local officials could not find Zhang Zhe responsible for the expansion of cities in various places. They could only write to the imperial court first, and only after the imperial court approved it, Zhang Zhe would allocate silver taels from the treasury to the localities.
The only person who can approve this matter is the Right Prime Minister Shangguan Yuanji. He approved the expansion of so many cities at once, and the amount of silver involved was so huge that it can only be described as astronomical figures. Is there any power-for-money transaction involved?
, Zhang Zhe was also very suspicious. Now that the king has spoken, he no longer has to worry about this matter.
Cai Gui, who was standing behind, took a peek at Shangguan Yuanji, who looked gloomy, and then looked at Zhang Zhe. He couldn't help but secretly shake his head. Zhang Zhe's ability to offend people is truly unprecedented!
He didn't know whether Shangguan Yuanji accepted bribes from local officials, but he understood Shangguan Yuanji's intentions. The reason why he approved the expansion of so many cities at once was mainly to increase the political performance of local officials. At present, the county chiefs in various parts of Feng Kingdom
, The county chiefs are all handled by the king alone. If they cannot achieve dazzling political achievements, the only thing that will be damaged is the king's face and prestige. Shangguan Yuanji is obviously protecting the king by doing this, and everyone understands it tacitly.
But Zhang Zhe didn't seem to notice that if he had to bring this matter to the table, I'm afraid it wouldn't be just the right prime minister who would be offended!
Seeing that Zhang Zhe had retreated, Tang Yin asked again: "Is there anything else you can do? If nothing else, just retreat from the court!"
"I have nothing to say, so I will leave!" All the ministers present bowed their hands and saluted, and then exited the court one after another.
When Shangguan Yuanji was about to leave, Tang Yin raised his hand to stop him: "Yuanji!"
"Your Majesty!" Shangguan Yuanji hurriedly stepped back and turned back to look at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin shook his head at him, and then walked out from the side door of the hall. Shangguan Yuanji quickly followed, walking behind Tang Yin, out of the hall, and came to the small garden behind the hall. Tang Yin slowed down,
He asked Shangguan Yuanji to walk side by side with him and asked: "What's going on? Why do you need to expand so many cities at once? Is it necessary?"
"It's very necessary." Shangguan Yuanji answered simply.
"Tell me, why is it necessary?" Tang Yin asked with a frown.
"Nowadays, the officials in every county in our country are new officials who have just taken office, and they are selected by the king. Whether they can make political achievements is crucial to the king's reputation, and to make a place full of devastation
It cannot be accomplished in one or two years or three or four years in Kong's place. The most immediate way is to build cities. As long as the cities in various places become prosperous, political achievements will be achieved.
Your Majesty's reputation will be higher, and people everywhere will support your Majesty even more. Your Majesty, this huge territory of our country was pieced together through conquests in the south and north, and what is missing most is cohesion. We can only establish the prestige of your Majesty first.
, people everywhere will be convinced and will not rise up to resist." Shangguan Yuanji said quietly.
Oh! That's it! After hearing this, Tang Yin suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Shangguan Yuanji, who had always been prudent in his work, suddenly approved the expansion of so many cities this time.
He shook his head and smiled, and said: "It seems that Zhang Zhe has misunderstood you. Judging from his appearance in the court, he seems to suspect that you have secretly accepted a lot of bribes from local officials."
Shangguan Yuanji smiled calmly and said: "It is human nature. After all, the power in my hands is too great and it is easy to arouse suspicion. What's more, as a censor, Mr. Zhang must be wary and suspicious of all officials in the court. I feel that Mr. Zhang
You were right to do it, and you were right to doubt it.”
Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuanji and had mixed feelings in his heart. He was not easy to be a king, and Shangguan Yuanji was equally hard to be a right minister. As the head of the civil service, he was actually the target of public criticism. He didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him day and night.
.
He patted Shangguan Yuanji on the shoulder, changed the topic, and said: "You will come with me to the palace later. This emperor's edict is not easy to write. You also help to give advice, advice!"
Shangguan Yuanji smiled, nodded and sighed: "It is indeed difficult to write." Even if it is an imperial edict, it is not easy to make the people of the world believe Guang Xuanling's crimes.
"By the way, there's one more thing." Tang Yin pulled Shangguan Yuanji into the pavilion. As soon as he sat down, he seemed to remember something and said, "It's too cold here. Let's go sit in the study."
He has profound cultivation and is not afraid of the cold. What he is afraid of is that Shangguan Yuanji will not be able to accept him.
Shangguan Yuanji was deeply moved when he could sense the king's consideration for him. He raised his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, I am fine here..."
"Let's go!" Tang Yin pulled Shangguan Yuanji and walked towards the study without any explanation.
After entering the study, the two of them sat down. Tang Yin took out a dozen papers from his sleeves, which were densely packed with words. He patted them with his hands, then handed them to Shangguan Yuanji and said, "This is the national policy I plan to implement. It has not been written yet."
Okay, Yuanji, you take a look first."
"Oh?" Shangguan Yuanji immediately became interested. He had been assisting Tang Yin for a long time and knew that his great king rarely formulated national policies, and once he formulated them, they would definitely be weird things. For example, he insisted on promoting colleges and academies.
this matter.
After Shangguan Yuanji took it, he looked at it attentively, immediately put it down again, and said with a dry smile: "Weichen... I don't quite understand."
"You don't understand what I mean, right? In fact, you can understand it. After all..."
"Uh, no, Your Majesty, I can't understand your handwriting. It's really... it's too sloppy."
Tang Yin's careful writing was all crooked. After he wrote hard and fast, it was simply cursive and a heavenly book. Even Asan and Asi, who served Tang Yin day and night, could not understand it. Shangguan Yuanji even less understood what he wrote. If a person
To recognize each word, he would be blinded by fatigue.
