The eldest son of the red mansion

If the emperor really had secret deals with these business gangs, it would be a big trouble for Jia Ke to rule the world in the future.

The power of these business gangs is not only money, but the most important thing is that they communicate with each other. The north-south communication enables the wealth of the world to flow. Even if Jia Ke is in charge of the world, he can't do anything to them all at once.You can only slowly support one faction and suppress the other to achieve your goals.

The other one is that Liu Yu's solution is the best solution now. If it can be realized, Jia Ke won't have to pay out of his own pocket to supplement the rations and salaries of his direct troops.

Just after Jia Ke finished speaking, before the emperor could react, Liu Wan, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, jumped out. He had already cast his fear of Jia Ke out of the blue, and said directly to Jia Ke, filled with righteous indignation: : "Jia Ke, what are you going to do? Are you trying to seize the people's property for nothing? If every minister is like you, why do you need the laws of the dynasty? The emperor has no money, just go and grab it. That day the world will be real. It's a big mess." Especially the last sentence, his tone was very heavy.

At that time, Liu Wan was really afraid that the emperor would agree to Jia Ke. Liu Wan knew in her heart how powerful the three major merchant gangs were in the imperial court. Almost every member of the imperial court received a large amount of gifts from them every year. If we set this precedent, I am afraid that we will become enemies of civil servants in the world.

The emperor originally thought that if there was really no other way, his plan would not succeed. Jia Ke desperately refused to reduce the military pay of his direct troops. At that time, the emperor himself really had no choice but to compromise.

At that time, it will be difficult to collect the water. Since it is too short, the 300 taels of silver can't be slapped, even if it is pretending to get the 300 million silver, the only way to get rid of the Jianghuai salt merchants is to ask the other two merchants to help out. Money, after all, this further increases the burden on the common people, without discounting the salaries of officials all over the world, it is indeed a way to get the best of both worlds.

But now that Liu Wan's sudden words disturbed her, she immediately understood what Liu Wan meant. Liu Wan was reminding herself of the power of the three major business gangs. Officials spread throughout the court.As long as I make this will, I am afraid that the officials who are admonishing me will be able to lift the roof of the Qianqing Palace.With such a large force attacking him together, he might have to compromise in the end.In the end, it was nothing but disheartened.

Thinking of this, the emperor gave Jia Ke a hard look. This Jia Ke was digging holes for himself anytime and anywhere. If he listened to his two methods, his prestige would plummet in the future. May sacrifice oneself in exchange for peace in the world.

After the emperor wanted to understand these things, he said to Jia Ke with a gloomy face: "I have made up my mind, so you don't need to say any more. Since there is nothing wrong, you can go back."

After the emperor finished speaking, he went directly into the back room of Dongnuange, and left Jia Ke and several ministers on the main hall.

Everyone glanced at each other and could only exit the hall and walk towards the military plane.

After the emperor entered the inner palace, Xia Shouzhong followed him to the side of the emperor, "Long Live Lord, what shall we do with the money?"

Sitting on the throne, the emperor took the fragrant tea from the maid next to him, took a sip, and then said, "What's the matter? Since it's in our internal storage, you can use it at ease."

Xia Shouzhong felt a little scared when he heard the emperor's words.This amount of money is not easy to get. On the surface, the emperor is behind it, but once the incident is revealed, I can't keep my head.

"Long live, my slave has a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"You old man, what should we say here?"

"Since the Lord Long Live said so, then the servant will dare to say that the Lord Long Live should find a way to return the money to the Ministry of Households."

After hearing this, the emperor's face was a little gloomy, and he put the tea cup in his hand on the wooden table next to him.

With a bang, Xia Shouzhong's soul was scattered, and he quickly fell to his knees and kept kowtowing.

The emperor just sat like this until Xia Shouzhong knocked his head until it bled, and then said to him: "From now on, you must not interfere with the affairs of the previous court, and next time I will peel your skin."

After the emperor finished saying this, he ignored Xia Shouzhong who was kneeling on the ground, turned around and went back to the inner palace.And Gao Yun, the little eunuch who was following the emperor, squinted at Xia Shouzhong before going out with the emperor, thinking how to slander Xia Shouzhong in front of the emperor and take away half of Xia Shouzhong's power.

Xia Shouzhong didn't dare to stand up until the emperor had left for a long time.Then he went back to his room silently, that time he was also a little bit chilled, he could be said to have dedicated himself to the emperor, he never thought that the emperor would be so ruthless.

While several military ministers were on their way out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zuodu Censor Shi Tianye quickly came to Jia Ke, and said loudly: "Master Jia, I misread you before. I didn't expect that among so many military ministers, Only you and I are truly serving the country and the people."

Tian Ye agreed with Jia Ke's two suggestions to the emperor just now at the Golden Palace, but the emperor was afraid that the forces behind these people would compromise, which made Tian Ye feel very angry.Now he felt that if there were more treacherous ministers like Xiang Jia Ke in the world, the world would be more peaceful.

As the censor of Zuodu, Tian Ye knew very well about the government of officials in today's world, and now it has reached the point where it must be rectified, otherwise the government will force the people to rebel in the long run.

The current emperor is also a man of courage, but now his energy is all focused on fighting Jia Ke.I no longer care about other things.

After Tian Ye and Jia Ke exchanged a word, they stopped talking and walked towards the military plane silently.

And the others didn't speak, especially the emperor's confidantes in the Military Aircraft Department, they now understood what happened in Dongnuange just now.At this time, the emperor had already colluded with the Minister of the Household Department, but he didn't discuss such a big matter with his confidantes.This caused a slight sense of loss in their hearts.

Their loss is not the most important thing. The main problem now is that although it seems that this year's tax hole has been filled, the hidden dangers are too great.Whether it is the defense of the north or the problem of the river course.As long as there is any problem in these two places, it may cause turmoil in the court.

Liu Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, now really disagrees with the emperor's method. This idea is simply to kill three hundred enemies and hurt one thousand.All he could hope now was that the Tartars would not invade, and that this year the rains would not be as heavy as in previous years.Otherwise, relying on these embankments built when the country was founded, I am afraid it will not be enough to prevent the invasion of heavy rain.

And the old Hanlin Meng Ming was also furious now, when they walked to the gate of the Military Aircraft Department.The old Hanlin suddenly cupped his hands and said to them: "Everyone, today's matter is of great importance. I'm afraid I have to report it to the Supreme Emperor. I won't go to the military aircraft department today. If there is nothing important to deal with, I will take care of it first." Farewell."

Seeing that old Meng Ming didn't hide anything, everyone directly said that they would file a complaint with the Supreme Emperor.Everyone feels a little cute about his character.

After bidding farewell to everyone, old Meng Ming went directly to the outside of the Qianqing Palace, as if asking the eunuch there to inform him of his entry into the Ningshou Palace.Soon a eunuch came out and led him into the harem.

And Liu Wan, Minister of the Household Department, doesn't want to stay here anymore. Now the five military ministers have opinions on him, and his future life can be imagined.His only thought now is to hug the emperor's thigh, hoping that when he is in trouble in the future, the emperor can help him.

Chapter 363

After everyone returned to the military plane, they didn't have the heart to work any more. They sat in their seats, thinking about their own affairs.

It didn't take long for the curtain to be opened, and old Meng Ming walked in from the outside, but after he came in, he sat down on his desk without saying a word.

Jia Ke knew that old Meng Ming's temper was full of opinions, so he asked, "Mr. Meng, you went to the Supreme Emperor. What does the Supreme Emperor mean?"

Jia Ke was still holding on to the idea of ​​what to do, if the Supreme Emperor stopped the emperor, maybe there was still room for relaxation in the water conservancy issue.

Old Mengming lowered his head and said with a sigh: "Although I saw the old man, the Supreme Emperor, he was not in good health. He only said a few words and let me back out."

When Jia Ke heard this, her heart ached, and she immediately put the matter of the river aside, thinking about the body of the Supreme Emperor.Although the Supreme Emperor gave up on Jia Ke in the end, after all, the Supreme Emperor still has kindness to Jia Ke. If it hadn't been for the promotion of the Supreme Emperor, Jia Ke would not have become the top rank at a young age, with power over the world.

Today, Meng Ming went to have an audience because of this incident, and he came back so soon. It seems that the Supreme Emperor couldn't hold on before getting to the point.This result was unexpected by Jia Ke. You must know that in the Dream of Red Mansions, the Supreme Emperor has persisted for many years.

Jia Ke's heart was turning like lightning. He thought about it. In the Dream of Red Mansions, the Supreme Emperor had always held a certain amount of power, but now due to his pressure, the Supreme Emperor had to hand over all the power to the emperor so that the emperor would be able to fight against Jia Ke, a power minister.

Then there are two possibilities. After the Supreme Emperor gave up his power, his heart changed and he lost his vitality, so he aged very fast and his condition worsened.Just like the current retirement syndrome, all these people were full of energy before retirement, and soon after retirement they were plagued by various diseases, and some even passed away not long after.

Another possibility is that the emperor already felt that the Supreme Emperor was a bit of an eyesore, and wanted the Supreme Emperor to return to heaven as soon as possible.

However, in Jia Ke's analysis, the first possibility is more likely. After Jia Ke's observation during this period, he believes that the Supreme Emperor is suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.This kind of disease is considered difficult and miscellaneous in modern society, and I am afraid it was considered terminal in ancient times.Relying on the excellent medical skills of the Supreme Hospital, it is not easy to maintain the Supreme Emperor for such a long time.

When the others heard what Old Meng Ming said, they all had expressions of astonishment on their faces.When the Supreme Emperor is normal, everyone thinks he is an eyesore. When he is really going to fail, these civil servants feel the importance of the Supreme Emperor.When the Supreme Emperor is around, they always feel that there is a backbone behind them.Once they heard that the Supreme Emperor was so seriously ill, and considering the death of the Supreme Emperor, everyone felt empty in their hearts.

Now that Jia Ke thought about it, it was no wonder that the emperor was a little anxious. It seemed that the Supreme Emperor was really in poor health.Although the emperor always felt that the Supreme Emperor was an eyesore, but now he felt that the Supreme Emperor was his backbone, so he wanted to solve the hidden danger of Jia Ke before the Supreme Emperor passed away.

Jia Ke didn't want to continue entanglement on this matter, and said to these military ministers: "The emperor has made a decision just now, so let's approve the official document. Especially the Xuanfu in the north of the capital, Liaodong and Miyun, Be sure to inform them as soon as possible so that they are prepared, otherwise these gangsters may cause trouble by then."

After listening to Jia Ke's words, Lei Ying, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately agreed: "What Master Jia said is exactly what this matter has to be arranged in advance. The generals at the border also have some ways to get money. Let them make preparations in advance, and they can Go ahead and fool this year. Otherwise, if the sound stops suddenly, these big soldiers will definitely make trouble."

Liu Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, thought of the emperor's plan, but I am afraid that the emperor's idea will come to nothing, but at this time, he can't take care of so much, the emperor has gone too far this time.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Jia Ke said to Old Meng Ming, "Boss, you are the pen of our military aircraft department, and you are the one who drafted the official document this time."

Old Mengming sighed and said, "Okay, what can I do? I'll write an official document right now, and you'll sign it. Please send it out after the emperor uses the seal, so that the subordinates can also make preparations."

Old Meng Ming is worthy of being an imperial scholar for many years. It only took a moment to draft an official document. Then Jia Ke took it over and took a closer look. He saw that it was full of flowers and flowers. It was really a good article.This is not a palace essay, it is for the examination of the number one scholar.

After reading it, Jia Ke showed it to several other ministers of military affairs. After reading it, everyone praised him. Jia Ke was born as a general. Although he had studied for several years, it was all before Jia Ke traveled. Jia Ke has long been confused, so he just thinks this article is good, but he can't see what is good about it.

But the others were all from serious imperial examination backgrounds and had also been in the Imperial Academy.At this time, I couldn't put it down after reading Meng Ming's article. They all praised old Meng Ming and said: "The old man's writing style is getting more and more sophisticated. If this article is the number one in the imperial examination, he will not be able to pass."

Hearing their praise, Old Mengming couldn't help but smile on his face, and the unhappiness just now dissipated a little bit. After all, writing this article is what he is most proud of. Now that so many people praise him, there is no reason for his displeasure.

Seeing that they had seen enough, Jia Ke said to everyone, "Everyone has no objections, so just sign your name. Then you can hand it over to the emperor for your seal."

So everyone picked up their pens and signed their names on the back of this official document, and finally Jia Ke also signed his name.Put it in a paper bag, then seal it with the ink pad next to it, and finally stamp the big seal of the military plane on the ink pad.
