After Yan Huisheng listened to the emperor's words, he also understood what the emperor meant.
His good father, the eldest and second brothers who had supported him over the years, had almost emptied all the money in the household department. In the past, he didn't know about Su Rong's existence, and he was not prepared to fight with the Wei Dynasty at all, so he spent so much money. Money is like running water, and the money bag of the treasury keeps flowing out, either to the Nanping Hou Mansion or to the Pingxi General Mansion.
Now that he has learned about the existence of Su Rong, and because Ye Guixue has brought the king's order from the king of Nan Chu, Daliang must be ready to raise troops. In this way, the army's salary will require a large expenditure from the national treasury. He was caught off guard.
Hu Bu couldn't get the money, so his good father Huang found him.
Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor, "What does your father mean by calling your son to come?"
The emperor also looked at him, "Feng Chang is here. I have already asked him. The bank deposits in the household department are not enough to support the war. But from the king of Nanchu, it can be seen from the attitude of Ye Guixue when he brought the king's life. Nanchu The king is resolute and wants to truly recognize Su Rong Tangtang. Therefore, I would like to ask your opinion, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Yan Huisheng turned to the Minister of Household Affairs and asked, "Master Feng, how much money does the treasury have?"
Feng Chang stretched out a trembling finger, "When I return to Your Highness, I still have less than ten million taels."
The huge Daliang treasury has less than 10 million taels of silver. This is a huge joke. An ordinary wealthy businessman might be able to spend a million taels.
Yan Huisheng stared at Feng Chang. Feng Chang wanted to lower his head into the cracks in the ground. Yan Huisheng turned around silently and looked at the emperor silently.
The emperor finally regained some of his composure. Under Yan Hui's silent explanation, he was a little bit embarrassed. However, as an emperor, he still had to maintain the dignity and majesty that an emperor should have in front of his son, so he could only tighten his face.
Yan Huisheng didn't say anything. He glanced at the emperor silently, then looked away and said, "Master Feng, could you please check and find out where the money from the treasury has gone in recent years, except for disaster relief."
Feng Chang knew best in his heart where the flow was going, and His Majesty also knew it. He believed that His Highness the Crown Prince also knew it. But since he knew clearly, His Highness must have a motive for saying this. He said cautiously: "Wherever it goes, you can't come back." Yeah."
Yan echoed: "When you use a large amount of money from the national treasury, you must make corresponding contributions or political achievements for the national treasury. Furthermore, there is sufficient food and salary for soldiers and horses. If the country needs it, you should take the lead."
Feng Chang shouted in his heart, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means to tell His Majesty that the eldest prince and the second prince's in-laws have taken money, so don't do practical things." In addition, if something happens to him and he is the only son, he should also find the two people who are supported by him and find a solution together.
He secretly raised his eyes and looked at the emperor.
The emperor was naturally not a fool, and understood what Yan Huisheng meant. He nodded with a sullen face, "The prince is right, Feng Aiqing, go and investigate. Once you find out, report to me."
Feng Chang should be.
The emperor replied to Yan again: "Even so, I'm afraid it can only solve a temporary emergency, not a long-term solution."
Yan Huisheng naturally knew it and said again, "Father, please clear the court!"
The emperor frowned, "What kind of purge method?"
Yan Huisheng suggested, "After the several major cases in the hands of King Ruian are revealed, I hope that my father will not be merciful. For someone with such financial resources and ability to raise dead soldiers in the capital to cause chaos, a raid on his home would probably be worth half of the money." It’s a treasury.”
The emperor immediately sat up straight.
Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor, "Father, in his later years, the late emperor was ruined by his soft-heartedness, corrupt officials were rampant, and the corruption corrupted the imperial court. You are still in your prime, and the situation in the Liang Dynasty can still be saved. I hope that father Your Majesty, please don’t make the big mistake of the previous Emperor, as it is too late to regret it.”
The emperor heard him say that he was in his prime, and these four words hit his heart all of a sudden. What he feared most was that he was getting old, and his son was growing stronger day by day, waiting to succeed him. The location was not a pleasant thing to think about, and it was also what made him hate Yan Huisheng the most in the past few years. But now, he is standing in front of him, saying that he is in his prime, does it also mean that his underlying meaning is Father, your time?
It's still long. Is there really no need to be so defensive and fearful of his son like an enemy?
The emperor looked at Yan Huiwei.
Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor calmly.
There was a silent air flowing between father and son.
After a long time, the emperor relaxed his tense expression and echoed to Yan: "You are right."
Before the late emperor died, he issued an edict to sin against himself, called him to his bedside, and told him not to follow in his footsteps. But after so many years, he had forgotten the last words of the late emperor and the precarious situation in which the country was in danger.
The emperor's breathing became heavier. He stood up slowly and patted Yan Huihui's shoulder. "I will urge King Ruian to handle the case as soon as possible. From now on, you can assist in managing the household department! We must fill the household department as soon as possible."
Yan Hui nodded, "My son, I obey."
Over the years, the emperor had controlled the Ministry of Husbandry to death. He would reject all petitions to the East Palace and the Protector's Palace, and he was lenient to others. Now that the treasury was empty, he finally let go of the Ministry of Husbandry.
After retiring from Mingde Hall, Yan Huisheng did not feel too relaxed, but felt a little heavy.
Feng Chang caught up with Yan Huisheng and said cautiously, "Your Highness, the household department is rich, but is there any other way?"
Yan Huisui glanced at him, "Isn't this what Master Feng should be thinking about?"
Feng Chang choked.
Yan Hui walked forward slowly.
Feng Chang followed suit. He felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was now his life-saving straw. His Majesty would not allow him to resign, and he would be very worried about money for a long time in the future.
After walking out of the palace gate and quickly getting on the carriage, Yan Huisheng finally turned around and said to Feng Chang, "Master Feng should visit my eldest brother and second brother more these days. It is useless for you to follow Gu."
After saying this, Yan Huisheng got into the carriage.
Feng Chang's heart collapsed. Seeing Yan Huisheng's carriage leave, he thought with a headache that His Highness and His Highness were very ambitious. Even though it was easy to ask for money from the treasury, if they were asked to take money from their pockets, they would probably refuse to do so. . How can he get it out?
But when he thought again, he couldn't take it out, and His Majesty was there, and he suddenly felt a little relieved.
Naturally, the emperor's movements today could not be hidden from anyone. In the morning, he met with Ye Guixue and the old protector of the country. Later, he summoned Feng Chang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and then called Yan Huisheng into the palace.
The eldest prince Yan Li and the second prince Yan Lin couldn't sit still, so they sent people to find out what the emperor had said to these people. After asking for a long time, they found out that except for Eunuch Yu, who was in charge of the Mingde Hall, all the others were there. I was sent away and couldn't find out at all.
As for Yu An, no one can pry anything out of his mouth.
Yan Lin found Yan Li and said, "Brother, we can't just be kept in the dark."
Yan Li glanced at Yan Lin, "Then how do you know? Go and pry Yu An's mouth open?"
If Yan Lin could pry Yu An's mouth open, why would he be scratching his head here? He looked at Yan Li, "Brother, why did you stop Ye Guixue today?"
Yan Li's face turned green when he mentioned Ye Guixue, "He's a ungrateful person. I asked him to join forces with us to deal with Zhou Gu and Dong Gong, but he didn't agree."
Yan Lin suddenly realized, "He doesn't want to offend Su Rong, so of course he won't agree. Brother, what you did is too obvious. You should find him secretly. Maybe he will agree."
Yan Li paused, recalling Ye Guixue's expression, and shook his head, "I may not agree, and Nanchu is not the only one who can cooperate. Aren't the Nangong family even more good helpers? I don't believe it, the Nangong family is happy to watch Ye Guixue picked up Su Rong and returned to Nanchu smoothly."
Yan Lin immediately said: "Brother is right, then you should contact the Nangong family as soon as possible."
Yan Li snorted and looked at him, "What about you? Let me take the lead in everything. Second brother, you have a good plan."
Yan Lin immediately stopped, "What did the eldest brother say? The second brother naturally works with you in everything."
Yan Li stared at him, "This is what you said. If you don't bring down the prince, you and I will always be in the same boat. Just understand."
Yan Lin nodded, "You don't need to tell me, brother, I understand too, Tai
The Son is the person we collectively want to get rid of. Brother, don’t worry! "
There is no emotional line in the recent plot of the court. You can just keep writing. See you tomorrow~
