Hearing Tang Yin's question, the ministers present looked at each other, and no one spoke again. After waiting for a while, Qi Heng came out of the generals and asked, "I don't know which army the king wants to send to besiege the sacred pool?"
Tang Yin glanced at Qi Heng and asked half jokingly, "how about sending you to the Ninth Army?"
Qi shrunk his neck horizontally and didn't dare to answer. Let him go to the battlefield to fight against the enemy. Even in the face of thousands of troops, he is not afraid at all. However, if he is asked to besiege Shenchi, he really has no bottom in his heart, and 120 are unwilling.
Tang Yin laughed and said, "the siege of Shenchi is not on your ninth army. I'm going to send the plain army and the eagle army!"
Standing in the court, Xiao MuQing and Ziying both stepped out and said, "the last general will not humiliate the king's mission!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction. That's what the commander of the first army should say!
Seeing the king's dissatisfaction with himself, Qi Heng quickly explained: "the end general is not afraid of Shenchi, but... Shenchi has many mountains, which is not suitable for the platoon of the Ninth Army..."
Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupted his words behind him, looked up at the other people and said, "if you have something to play, you can retreat from the court if you have nothing to do!"
As soon as his voice fell, Zhang Xiu hurried out of the line and arched his hands and said, "king, elder Huangfu and elder Jin are rare to come to our country. I wonder if you can invite the two elders to visit Lingwu college!"
Zhang Xiu is the president of Lingwu college, the capital of Fengguo. If these two Lingwu experts can be invited to Lingwu college, even if they only give some advice, it will benefit the students and students of Lingwu college.
Tang Yin would certainly 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, "what do you mean, two elders?"
Huangfu xiutai whispered trouble and was about to refuse. Jin Xuan replied first: "OK! After the dynasty is dispersed, elder Huangfu and I will go to Lingwu college and have a long experience."
Hearing the speech, Zhang Xiu was full of surprise. He saluted Huangfu xiutai and Jin Xuanshen and said in a hurry, "thank you two elders."
Huangfu xiutai shook his head helplessly and glanced at Jin Xuan discontentedly.
Zhang xiuxin returned to his original position with satisfaction. Zhang Zhe, the imperial historian, stepped out of the line and said: "I inform the king that the imperial court has built more than 100 Lingwu colleges, military colleges and academies in Fengdi, which costs a lot of money and manpower. I wonder if the king will continue to build?"
"Make!" Tang Yin didn't even think about it. He immediately said, "of course, we should continue to build it! As Wang has said, we must let Lingwu college, military college and academy popularize in the wind first. No matter how much money, manpower and resources we spend, we must continue to build it for me!" After a pause, he frowned and asked, "there was a lot of silver shipped back from andI. Can't you even afford to build a few colleges and academies?"
Zhang Zhe said positively: "recently, there have been disasters in various parts of China, and countless silver has been allocated for disaster relief alone. In addition, dozens of counties, cities and counties have sent letters to the imperial court, asking for the expansion of the city Guo, which needs to be allocated by the Imperial court, so..."
"So you want to tell me that the Treasury is empty again?" Tang Yin raised her eyebrows. Fengguo annexed Anguo, and all the deposited silver saved by Anguo fell into its own hands. Then a huge amount of silver would disappear as soon as it was sent back to Zhenjiang?
"Indeed, your majesty, although the Treasury will not be empty, it will no longer be rich." Zhang Zhe told the truth.
In fact, it is easy to understand that no matter how much money angoo has accumulated, it is also relative to the area of angoo. When angoo's money is put in such a big wind country, it is nothing at all. If all counties and counties ask for a little, there will be not much left.
"Well, why should all counties, cities and counties be expanded? Do all parts of our country really prosper to that extent?"
When it comes to internal affairs, Tang Yin feels a headache when he thinks about the complex, protective and unclear relations between officials.
Zhang Zhe had no words, and Yuan Ji, the Shangguan in charge of internal affairs, had no words. The literary ministers hung their heads one by one, and no one spoke.
Tang Yin took a deep breath, rubbed his forehead and said in a deep voice: "the expansion of city walls around the country can be suspended, but the construction of colleges and academies must not stop. If the city walls are not expanded, it will have little impact, but if the source of talents is lost, the country will perish."
"King Shengming, Weichen knows." Zhang Zhe answered with an arched hand, then took a deep look at Shangguan Yuanji and retreated.
Local officials can't find Zhang Zhe for the expansion of city walls. They can only write to the imperial court first. Only after the imperial court approves, Zhang Zhe will allocate silver from the national treasury to the local government.
The only one who can approve this matter is Yuan Ji, an official of the right prime minister. The expansion of so many city walls was approved at once, and the amount of silver involved was huge, which can only be described by astronomical figures. Zhang Zhe also doubted whether there was a power money transaction. Now that the king has spoken, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
Standing in the back, Cai GUI peeks at the gloomy Shangguan Yuanji and then looks at Zhang Zhe. He can't help shaking his head. Zhang Zhe's ability to offend people is really unprecedented!
He doesn't know whether Shangguan Yuanji has accepted bribes from local officials, but he can understand Shangguan Yuanji's intentions. The reason why he approved the expansion of so many city walls at once is mainly to increase the political achievements of local officials. At present, the county heads and county heads in all parts of the country are all run by the king. If they can't make dazzling political achievements, What will be damaged will only be the king's face and prestige. Shangguan Yuanji is obviously doing this to protect the king. Everyone knows it, but Zhang Zhe doesn't seem to see it. I'm afraid it's not just Youxiang who offends if he has to move the matter to the table!
Seeing that Zhang Zhe had returned, Tang Yin asked again, "do you have anything else? If you have nothing, just leave the court!"
"I have nothing to say. I'll leave!" All the ministers present bowed their hands and then withdrew from the court one after another.
When Shangguan Yuanji was about to retreat, Tang Yin raised his hand and called him, "Yuanji!"
"King!" Shangguan Yuanji quickly stepped back and turned back to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin shook his head at him and went out through the side door of the hall. Shangguan Yuanji hurried forward, walked behind Tang Yin, went out of the main hall and came to the small garden behind the main hall. Tang Yin slowed down, let Shangguan Yuanji walk side by side with him, and asked, "what's the matter, why do you want to expand so many cities at once? Is it necessary?"
"Very necessary." Shangguan Yuanji answered simply.
"Tell me, what's necessary." Tang Yin asked with a frown.
"At present, the officials of all counties and counties in China are new officials who have just taken office, and they are selected by the king. Whether they can make political achievements is very important to the king's reputation. To make decent political achievements in a place full of holes, it is by no means possible to do it in one year, two years or three or four years. The most immediate way is to build the city wall. As long as With the prosperity of cities and towns around the country, political achievements will be achieved, the king's reputation will be higher, and people everywhere will support the king more. Your majesty, the vast territory of our country has been pieced together through expeditions and wars. The most missing thing is cohesion. Only by establishing the authority of the king first, the people everywhere will be convinced and will not resist. " Shangguan Yuanji youyou said.
oh i see! After hearing this, Tang Yin suddenly realized that no wonder Shangguan Yuanji, who has always been steady, will suddenly approve the expansion of so many cities this time.
He shook his head and smiled and said, "it seems that Zhang Zhe misunderstood you. Looking at his appearance in the court, it seems that you have secretly accepted a lot of bribes from local officials."
Shangguan Yuanji smiled calmly and said, "it's human nature. After all, the power in the hands of the minister is too large, which is easy to arouse suspicion. Besides, as a censor doctor, Lord Zhang wants to be wary and suspicious of all officials in the court. The minister thinks that Lord Zhang is right and suspicious."
Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuanji with mixed feelings. It's not easy for him to be the king of the country, and Shangguan Yuanji is also not easy to be the right phase. As the head of the civil service, he is actually the target of public criticism. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at him day and night.
He patted Shangguan Yuanji on the shoulder and said, "later, you will go to the palace with me. This imperial edict is not easy to write. You can also help the staff!"
Shangguan Yuanji smiled, nodded and sighed, "it's really hard to write." Even if it is the imperial edict of the emperor, it is not easy for the people all over the world to believe the crime of Guangxuan spirit.
"By the way, one more thing." Tang Yin took Shangguan Yuanji into the pavilion. As soon as he sat down, he seemed to think of something and said, "it's too cold here. Let's go to the study."
He has deep cultivation and is not afraid of cold. What he is afraid of is that Shangguan Yuanji can't accept it.
Being aware of the king's consideration for himself, Shangguan Yuanji was deeply moved and bowed his hand to Tang Yin and said, "king, I'm fine here..."
"Let's go!" Tang Yin took Shangguan Yuanji and walked to the study without saying anything.
After entering the study, the two sat down. Tang Yin took out a dozen pieces of paper from his cuffs, which were full of words. He patted it with his hand, then handed it to Shangguan Yuanji and said, "this is the national policy I intend to implement. It hasn't been written yet. Yuanji, have a look first."
"Oh?" Shangguan Yuanji immediately became interested. He has assisted Tang Yin for a long time. He knows that his king seldom makes national policies, and once they are formulated, they must be strange things. For example, he insists on Promoting Colleges and academies.
After Shangguan Yuanji took it over, he looked intently, immediately put it down again, smiled and said, "Weichen... I don't understand."
"You don't understand what I mean, do you? In fact, you can understand. After all..."
"Er, no, your majesty, Wei Chen can't understand your words. It's really... It's too sloppy."
Tang Yin's serious writing is all crooked. After writing hard, it's just wild grass and heavenly script. He can't understand the three and four who serve Tang Yin day and night. Shangguan Yuanji doesn't understand what he writes. If he can recognize it word by word, he must be tired and blind.
