Now, although she has married into the Da Qitian family, she has become one of the two noble concubines. Logically speaking, we should not have the slightest involvement with Dali Country. But after all, everyone feels homesick, and who can really forget their hometown? My love for Duan Jin is second only to Situ Huanshuang, who is the queen, and He Yao. Therefore, as the deputy prime minister, Lu Duan's worry is not unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter. Huang Qiong showed no concern here, but Fu Yuanshan, who had no interest in Concubine Duan's background, had been thinking about something in his heart. After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke: "According to Mr. Lu, if we can really get food from the enemy and just teach Shan Chanhou a lesson, this battle can be fought."
"But this battle must not take more than half a year, and it must be fought quickly. If the emperor's intention is to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the Dali Kingdom, I will try my best to dissuade him even if I lose my official position. The Dali Kingdom Whether it exists or not, whether Concubine Duan is happy or not, has nothing to do with me. What I am worried about is that the current war to destroy the country is far beyond the financial resources of the imperial court. "
Regarding Fu Yuanshan's words, Huang Qiong was very satisfied and said: "Prime Minister Fu has been in charge of the country for a long time, how can I break my own arms because of a little disagreement on government affairs? People often say that this dynasty has had no known prime minister for hundreds of years. The princes in the dynasty, Gong Gun, , they are all a bunch of old men shaking their heads. This is a bit exaggerated, but it is not unreasonable. I am not the kind of person who follows the rules and follows the rules. Therefore, I never hope that there will be harmony everywhere in the court. "
"Because I know that no one in this world will not make mistakes. Even I, the emperor, am the same, and as the emperor, once I make a mistake, it will be more harmful to the people of the world. So I always hope that you can argue with me and dare to Point out my mistakes. As the saying goes, if a Taoist father has disloyal sons, his family will not be defeated; if a country has dissatisfied ministers, its country will not be destroyed. I hope that all of you can become dissatisfied ministers around me."
"I can become the Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling of this dynasty, who are famous in the world. Instead of the old masters who shook their heads before. Help me to govern this beautiful country. I don't want to be an unparalleled king, I just want this world. The people can be prosperous and healthy, and no longer have to work every day without having enough food and clothing. They can have tens of thousands of mansions, and the poor people in the world can be happy. This is what I want for you in this life."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Fu Yuanshan and Lu Duan looked at each other. Although both of them knew clearly that this young emperor had extraordinary ambitions. But they didn't expect that this young emperor, who was extremely skillful in their eyes, would have such a broad mind. What he wants is not just the fame of the so-called wise kings, but just a prosperous life for the people of the world.
It can be seen that since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been drastic yet clever, not to mention prudent, and has continuously implemented changes. We are working hard on this aspect step by step. Even though they were veterans of the officialdom, the two of them couldn't help but feel waves of confusion. Fu Yuanshan and Lu Duan stood up almost in unison, bowed and said: "Since Your Majesty is so ambitious, I will definitely dedicate myself to it."
Regarding the two people's statements, Huang Qiong nodded calmly. He stood up and walked outside the Wende Hall, looking at the eunuch outside the hall who was carefully cleaning the fallen leaves without making any noise. After pondering for a long time, he spoke decisively: "It is said that the three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. No matter how I look at governing the world with a few of my beloved friends, I think I am better than the cobblers."
"As long as the two beloved ministers live up to me, I will definitely not betray you. As for the matters discussed earlier, since we all agree to teach the Shanchan Marquis a lesson, let's fight this battle. Fu Aiqing drafted a decree and ordered Guo Chen to The troops immediately marched towards the Dali Kingdom and Shanchanhou Mansion's territory. How to fight this battle or how to prepare to fight it is all up to him to make his own decision. I will never interfere in this matter."
"What I want is the result, and this result means that I don't want to see the Shanchanhou Mansion and still exist in this world half a year later. But I must also warn him that this battle is limited to the territories belonging to the Shanchanhou Mansion. King of Dali As long as the royal family does not send troops, they should not enter the royal family's territory or the territory of other forces in Dali. But if the Dali royal family sends troops, then they will fight back cleanly."
"As for what to do after entering Shanchanhou's Mansion, let him decide for himself. All I want is the result. In addition, as for the various forces in Shanchanhou's Mansion, as long as they don't join forces with Shanchanhou to resist stubbornly, I think It is advisable to give priority to appeasement. These two imperial edicts are sent to Guo Chen and Zhao Wusha at the same time. In this battle, Guo Chen's troops will take the lead, and Zhao Wusha's troops, who have now reached the border, will be supplemented."
Fu Yuanshan thought quickly and immediately drafted two imperial edicts according to Huang Qiong's wishes. After carefully drying the ink on it, it was handed over to Huang Qiong for review. However, Huang Qiong waved his hand and did not take it. Instead, he said directly: "I still trust Fu Qing. I won't read it. You just use the seal. Don't go to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War. Just send it out directly."
Fu Yuanshan was a little stunned when he heard that Huang Qiong did not leave to go to the province. Not going to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War means that this imperial edict can be said to be a secret edict. Although this dynasty is a province, it has almost become a decoration. Basically, there is no right to review or refute the emperor's imperial edict. But this kind of imperial edict, which is equivalent to declaring war on other countries, still needs to be dealt with and followed through.
But when it was this master's turn, he was too lazy to even do this pretense. For such an important matter, it was decided directly. If he and Lu Duan weren't here, maybe even Zhongshu Sheng would have to avoid it. This kind of thing does not matter if we suppress rebellion in our own country, because it is basically equivalent to government affairs. But the Shanchanhou Mansion is the Shanchanhou of Dali, and the use of troops against this Shanchanhou is an external war.
If we avoid these two yamen, I am afraid it will cause great criticism in the court. This leader is extremely strong-tempered and, except for a few of himself, he has kept all the ministers in the court in obedience. Except for a few veterans of the former court who were ignored by him, none of those people had the courage to offend the Lord's face. But both himself and Lu Duan were going to be scolded to death by those Qingliu.
Seeing Fu Yuanshan's hesitation, Huang Qiong clicked on the content of the imperial edict and said: "The reason why I don't go to the province and the Ministry of War is that the soldiers are very fast. I walked around them for five, seven or eight days. I can't get down at all. In one, there aren't many people doing business there, but they are a lot of talkers. If the Holy Spirit goes around those two yamen, there's a good chance that the secret will be leaked."
"The Shanchan Marquis and the Puppet Emperor are staunch allies. The Puppet Emperor has spent money in the court over the years, bribed and trained many officials, and used them as spies to spy on the news. If this imperial edict follows the clear edict, maybe it will The so-called Shan Chanhou got the news earlier than Guo Chen and Zhao Wusha in front. By then, I am afraid that the soldiers at the front will have to sacrifice their lives to get back this loss."
"Since it is still wartime, we must strictly keep wartime secrets. Ever since I became the crown prince and secretly arranged and deployed, which one of the handwritings and imperial edicts involving the pseudo-emperor followed the clear edict? I am just worried about leaks. . I will not use the heads of thousands of soldiers to wipe the butt of those paid evil officials. You all know the truth that if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your country."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Fu Yuanshan and Lu Duan looked at each other and nodded in unison. Huang Qiong's words were undoubtedly a revelation to them. Indeed, at the beginning, the puppet emperor relied on his power and wealth to spend a lot of money at the yamen in the capital every time he came to the capital. Even when Fu Yuanshan was the prefect of Yanshan, he received three thousand taels of silver from the Guilin County Prince's Palace.
When he was transferred to Jingzhao Mansion, he had just received the transfer order and had not had time to set off. Ten thousand taels of silver and the land deed of 3,000 acres of his hometown were sent to his own residence in Yanshan Mansion, saying it was money to congratulate him on his transfer. Although I declined the request twice at first, I was surprised at how well-informed he was. When I was transferred to Jing Zhaoyin, I did not go through Zhongshu Sheng and Menxia Sheng.
Because his predecessor was involved in the assassination of the master in front of him. Jing Zhaoyin could not be vacant for a long time, so he had to deal with special matters. This imperial edict was only received by the Ministry of Personnel after the imperial edict was issued. The imperial court sent another 800-mile expedited order, but when he received the imperial edict, the pseudo-emperor knew about it and sent him a heavy gift. This well-informed information is enough to show that he has an eye in the court.
You know, this dynasty has always used money as its main currency. Silver is also used as a currency in circulation, and because of its value preservation, silver has always been expensive and money is cheap. Although it is only used as an auxiliary, the price is there, and the price of silver is far higher than that of copper coins. Although the court has always set the price, one tael of silver can be exchanged for up to 1,500 yuan. But in fact it is far more than this price.
On ordinary days, one thousand two hundred guan of money can only be exchanged for one tael of silver. If in a famine year, two thousand guan of money can be exchanged for one tael of silver, it will be a lucky thing. It can only be higher than this, never lower than this. Ten thousand taels of silver were exchanged to make money. Even if Jing Zhaoyin was transferred to the third rank, this was Fu Yuanshan's salary for five years. Even more, not less.
Fu Yuanshan was a little frightened when he thought about the past. Lu Duan also had a similar experience. When he was demoted to Sichuan West Road, he was directly demoted from the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs to the county magistrate. He was originally ordered to leave Beijing for three days and arrive in office within one month. But when he left Beijing, he met people from the Guilin County Prince's Palace. Up came Cheng Yi with three thousand silver notes, plus two pretty maids to take care of his daily life. ,
He even said directly that as long as he was willing to go south to Guangnan West Road to become an official, everything would be run by them. If he doesn't want to be an official, the palace is willing to hire him as a staff member of the palace with a salary of 2,000 yuan a year. At first, I was afraid of the power of Guilin County Prince's Palace, so I didn't dare to refuse directly. In the end, he used a trick to make the old wife appear with a jealous face and throw the person and money out together.
Of course, his old wife insisted on accompanying him when he took office, regardless of the hardships in the place he was transferred to. When I saw those two pretty maids, I was really jealous, but they played a huge role in this matter. So that he could leave no trace, he refused the invitation from the Guilin County Prince's Palace. But what my old wife said afterwards was that the prince would definitely rebel in the future, otherwise he wouldn't work so hard to win over you.
Although you are in despair now, I know that you can be prime minister in the future. If he didn't want to rebel, why did he try so hard to win over you, a person who is considered by the government to have the talents of a prime minister? If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, I won't stop you, but you can't gamble with your whole family's lives. Although my old wife is not very jealous, she has a very unique vision.
It was these words that completely awakened me, who was demoted from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs to a poor county located in the mountains and became a county magistrate, and felt a little aggrieved. Of course, although I claim to be an old wife, she is actually less than forty. When he was demoted to that small mountain county, he still relied on his wife's encouragement to persist until now.
