————The following text————
From early to mid-May, after nearly a year of fighting in the north and south, Zhao Hongrun finally got what he wanted and was free at home, continuing to live a day without getting out of bed as before.
Therefore, in the morning meeting one day, His Highness Prince Su was once again impeached by the Imperial Censor.
However, none of the officials present at the morning court took it seriously. Even Su Geng, the imperial censor who came forward to impeach His Royal Highness King Su, did not take it seriously - "he aspired to be a dandy and idle king."
Isn't it natural for His Highness Prince Su to seek opportunities to be lazy?
In the end, Yongwang Hongyu, who was responsible for supervising the country, made a punishment: he was fined half a month's salary to serve as a warning to others.
The censor doctor "Su Geng" was very satisfied with his sense of presence again, and returned to his position with dignity.
For the Censor, a certain Prince Su is their best candidate for political performance - because some of the bad habits they impeached related to a certain Prince Su, and not only the officials in the court would not care about it, but also the Prince Su.
His Highness the King won't care either. Without offending anyone, why not refresh his presence every now and then?
Only Qing Wang Hongxin was very angry - the old man was openly lazy, and his relationship ended up being fined several hundred taels of silver and that was the end of it?
It's no wonder that Qing Wang Hong's confidence is unbalanced. After all, in recent times, whether it is him, Yong Wang Hongyu, or Xiang Wang Hongjing, they are all working very hard, for fear of being caught and criticized. After all, for them
For these princes who are interested in competing for the throne, even a small incident can be magnified wirelessly. But when these incidents happened to Zhao Hongrun, it seemed that the civil and military officials of the dynasty had become accustomed to it, and no one took it seriously.
Seeing that the topic in the early court had changed from "Prince Su neglected his duties" to "how to respond to the great thief Huan Hu's move to seek credit and seek titles from the court", although King Qing Hongxin was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to do anything.
On the same day, the fine and salary approval document, stamped with the seal of King Yong of the Imperial Palace Supervisor, was personally delivered to Prince Su's Mansion by a censor from the Yushijian.
The person who came was none other than "Qiu Yu" who accompanied Zhao Hongrun on his first military expedition to Sanchuan. However, at that time, this gentleman was just a supplementary official for the imperial censor, but now, he is a full-fledged censor, with a transcendent status.
The ones who came to entertain Prince Su were Wei Jiao, the chief of Zongwei, and Gao Kuo, the Zongwei who was in charge of foreign affairs. They were both familiar with Qiu Yu. After accepting the fine and salary approval indifferently, Gao Kuo became interested.
none
He unexpectedly got close to the Censor, and Qiu Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly left - he was an acquaintance of Su Wang Zhao Hongrun, and if he got too close to His Highness, he might lose his golden job as Censor.
After all, the system of the Censorship Supervisor is stricter than that of the Ministry of Rites. As a censor, you are absolutely not allowed to get close to any prince or courtier.
About three o'clock in the morning, Su Wang Zhao Hongrun lazily came out of his bedroom and didn't care after learning about this incident.
It’s not that the half-month fine is just a few hundred taels of silver. The key is that His Highness, Prince Su, has no actual salary to pay. Yes, he still owes a huge debt to the Ministry of Revenue. If it is true,
After all, he may not really receive his first salary from the court until he is more than a hundred years old. In this case, what is a fine of a few hundred taels?
If Prince Su's Mansion really relied on the salary of a certain Prince Su, I believe everyone in the Mansion would have starved to death.
However, he didn't care. He was fined several hundred taels of silver again for no reason. Zhao Hongrun was a little depressed. He asked Wei Jiao and Gao Kuo: "This time, is it the censor who is trying to improve his political performance, or is there someone who is reporting me behind my back?"
king?"
If it is the censor who is responsible for the political performance, there is nothing you can do. Whoever suffers will be unlucky, let alone Zhao Hongrun. Even Yongwang Hongyu, who is currently responsible for supervising the country, will have to admit his mistakes honestly if he is impeached by the censor.
Accept the punishment - after all, this is the meaning of the existence of the Yushijian.
But if someone is instigating it behind your back, that's another matter.
"According to Mr. Qiu Yu, someone reported it privately," Wei Jiao said in a low voice.
"There is someone..." As soon as Zhao Hongrun thought about it, he thought of several suspects.
He made many enemies in the court, but those people basically had nothing to do with him. The most they could do was make snitches to the imperial censor to disgust him, and he was already used to it.
"Zhao Wu?" Zhao Hongrun asked.
Wei Jiao shrugged.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and said to Wei Jiao: "Send someone to inform Li Jin that this year's order for the Military Casting Bureau does not need to reserve a share for the anti-rebellion army and the Northern Army. Didn't Zhao Wu make a "soldier" by himself?
"Creating a situation"? Let him play his own game."
"Yes!" Wei Jiao responded with a smile and cupped his fists.
Qing Wang Hongxin indeed set up the "Weapon Manufacturing Bureau" and planned to compete with Zhao Hongrun's "Weapon Casting Bureau", but no one in the government or the public was optimistic about it. After all, behind the Weapon Casting Bureau was the Smelting Bureau, which represented the most advanced technology in Wei State.
How can the smelting technology be compared to the baseless Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau?
If Qing Wang Hongxin really has the guts to play his own game, then the armaments built by the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau under his name to suppress the rebel army and the Northern Army are believed to be at least more than ten years old compared to the weapons and armor that the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau will build in the future.
difference.
So in the afternoon of the same day, Li Jin, the Chief of the Military Casting Bureau, announced that he would begin taking orders for domestic armaments, including Shangshui Army, Yanling Army, Beiyi Army, Shanyang Army, Dangshan Army, Junshui Army, Wei Wu Army and other armies.
They are all on the list, except for the anti-rebellion army and the three northern armies.
After learning about this, Qing Wang Hongxin was furious to death.
"You just accepted it if you said it would? Have you asked the Ministry of War? My Ministry of War doesn't allocate funds, so I'll see what you build it with!"
Not to mention, in addition to the Shangshui Army, Yanling Army, Beiyi Army, and Shanyang Army, which are armies supported by princes such as Zhao Hongrun, Zhao Hongxuan, and Zhao Hongjiang, armies such as Dangshan Army, Junshui Army, and Wei Wu Army are all
Domestic elites who are officially listed in the Ministry of War and the General's Office belong to the country's support. If the Ministry of War insists on not relenting and refuses to hand over the order to the Bingzhu Bureau, there is really nothing the Bingzhu Bureau can do.
Unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun seemed to have expected such a reaction from Qing Wang Hongxin, and the next day he asked Li Jin, the Chief of the Military Casting Bureau, to regretfully announce that because the Ministry of War had not yet allocated funds, it was temporarily unable to support the Dangshan Army and the Dredging Army.
Wei Wujun and other armies replaced equipment.
When these words reached the ears of King Qing Hongxin, His Highness the King of Qing immediately panicked. After all, the Dangshan Army, the Junshui Army and other garrison troops at the sixth battalion level, and their generals Sima An, Bailiba and others, were from the Wei Dynasty.
The emperor's Zongwei, a well-deserved military master of Wei State, is older than Su Wang Zhao Hongrun. Not to mention the Ministry of War, even he, Qing Wang Hongxin, cannot afford to offend him.
If because of his relationship, the Dangshan Army and the Junshui Army are unable to replace their equipment on time, I believe that Sima An, Baili Ba, Zhu Hai, Xu Yin and other military leaders may personally go to Daliang to visit Prince Qing's Mansion.
Contact him and connect emotionally.
Especially the most popular "Hexi Guard Sima An". If this general holds a grudge and follows the example of Chenggao Army General Zhu Hai who closed Chenggao Pass and refused domestic aristocratic caravans to go to Sanchuan, he will reject the nobles of the Qingwang Party in the future.
Going in and out of Hexi, Qing Wang Hongxin could not withstand this loss - currently, the domestic nobles were waiting for "Hexi Shou Sima'an" to go to the Hetao area so that he could go with him to fight the autumn wind.
Therefore, before Sima An, Bailiba and other Wei military officials came to visit, Qing Wang Hongxin quickly sent someone to inform his ally Xiang Wang Hongjing and asked him to come forward to clarify.
The next day, it didn't take long for Xiang Wang Hongjing to signal the Ministry of Revenue to clarify: It was not that the Ministry of Revenue did not allocate funds, but that the Ministry of Revenue had a huge deficit due to the recent battle, but it would still raise funds as soon as possible to replace equipment for the domestic elite.
As a result, the subjects in Daliang City had another topic to talk about.
Apart from these small fights with Qing Wang Hongxin, Zhao Hongrun has been busy at home recently, mainly paying attention to the preparations for the wedding.
The clan attaches great importance to his marriage. After all, Zhao Hongrun's marriage to Qin Shaojun and Mi Jiang is related to the relationship between Wei, Qin, and Chu. Although Chu is actually still a hostile country to Wei,
But if it is not necessary, the Wei State does not want to provoke this huge monster - for a country that never lacks military resources and can drag out hundreds of thousands or millions of troops in every war, even as a victorious country, the Wei State
Still very scared.
Therefore, the Zongfu specially sent Zhao Sheng, the Lord of Zongling Yao, to personally help organize Zhao Hongrun's marriage. Although Zhao Hongrun decided to arrange the wedding in October this year, that is, after he had completed one year of filial piety, in fact this
By that time, the Zongfu and the Ministry of Rites had already begun to be busy with this matter.
In Prince Su's palace, the young lady Yang Yanxing, who was responsible for managing the family business, also began to make preparations and used her savings to purchase carts of silk, cloth, and some practical items.
During this period, the female relatives of Prince Su's Mansion contributed their own efforts. Even Mi Jiang, who usually never did anything, endured the discomfort and followed Yang Yanxing to the market to buy some beautiful silk cloth.
Seeing these women planning their weddings carefully made Zhao Hongrun quite embarrassed.
In fact, to be fair, Prince Su's Mansion is not short of money. After all, many of Zhao Hongrun's women have strong financial resources from their natal families.
For example, Yang Yan Xing, her natal Yang Yan family, is now a famous and wealthy family in Shangshui City. Oona's father Amutu is also a famous rich man in Luocheng, Sanchuan. Needless to say, Qin Shaojun, even Mi Jiang
, and with the support of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo and Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu, how could he be short of money?
Even on Zhao Hongrun's side, Chengling King Zhao Shen, Anping Marquis Zhao Tan and others expressed their willingness to pay in secret.
It's just that it's hard to get the money, and you'll be in debt if you take it, so Prince Su's Mansion didn't accept it.
"I have to find a way to get some money."
Zhao Hongrun discussed with the Zongwei in private.
After much deliberation, Zhao Hongrun finally settled on the "Bolangsha River Port" because according to the original agreement between him and his father, after the Bolangsha River Port was completed, he would receive the proceeds from selling shops, paying shipping fees, etc.
An individual can get 20% - the remaining 80% goes to the court.
For this precious chicken that can only lay golden eggs, Zhao Hongrun has invested an unknown amount of money in the past few years. Now, it is finally time to slaughter it.
"It's time to let the news out..."
Listening to Zhao Hongrun's muttering, the clan guards looked at each other in confusion.
They said to themselves that the Ministry of Industry has just taken over the later housing construction of Bolangsha River Port. Those shops and so on are not even visible at present. How can they be sold?
But Zhao Hongrun said firmly that that was not a problem.
