The love letter for money with white goat beard said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, please send troops to suppress the bandits, or there will be chaos sooner or later. If you can't stabilize the rear, the situation in Qingzhou is in danger."

Members of the Royal Party agreed one after another.

Members of each party were half silent and half echoing.

The bandits who robbed the scholar-official class undoubtedly hurt the nerves of the princes.

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Amidst the loud shouts, Liu Hong, the imperial censor of the left capital of Yushitai, came out and bowed:

"The war in Qingzhou is in full swing. The imperial court should do everything in its power to help Yang Gong keep the rebels away from Qingzhou. How could the national power be expended to suppress the refugees and bandits when the imperial court is short of money and food.

"It's just a group of mobs, it's hard to become a big trend."

The original members of the Wei party immediately echoed and supported the advice of the current party leader Liu Hong.

Members of the Royal Party immediately jumped out to retort:

"The mob? Now that the refugees are in trouble, looting and looting food, they are already a force that should not be underestimated. If left alone, the rebels in Yunzhou have not yet reached the capital, and those refugees and bandits will come to the city first."

The two sides started arguing, and the discussion in the imperial study room was also known as the "Xiaochaohui". Compared with the early court, it was more loose and casual, and the debate gradually turned into a scolding war.

Emperor Yongxing watched with cold eyes. To this day, Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu died and the other fell ill.

He glanced at the ministers, his eyes fell on Dali Siqing, and said lightly:

"What's your opinion, Lord Siqing?"

The eyes of the princes inevitably turned to Dali Siqing.

Dali Temple Qing is over fifty years old, there is no white silk between his beard and hair, and he is well maintained.

"Your Majesty, I believe that we can adopt a strategy of recruiting security for the refugees and bandits, and give the leader of the bandits an official position, and let him lead his troops to Qingzhou to resist the rebels."

Dali Temple Minister said.

Emperor Yongxing was silent for a while, and after a long time, said slowly:

"This matter is on hold for now."

After a pause, he said in a deep voice:

"The first line of defense in Qingzhou has been captured by the rebels. Yang Gong failed to deal a heavy blow to the rebels in Yunzhou. Can anyone tell me, can Qingzhou be held? How long?"

No one answered.

Emperor Yongxing looked sullenly, looking at the ministers of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of household:

"You two lovers, I asked you to send troops and food to support Qingzhou. Is there any progress?"

Hubu Shangshu came out and bowed:

"It will take some time, Your Majesty, please allow another ten days."

Emperor Yongxing originally wanted to blame him, but he took a look at the haggard appearance of the Minister of the Household Department, sighed in his heart, and did not make trouble.

Turning to look at the Minister of the Ministry of War, he said lightly:

"Zhao Junru, recommended by Xu Shangshu, gave me an account yesterday, saying that he suggested that the army supporting Qingzhou be led by him to attack Yunzhou by detour and destroy the rebel base camp.

"He is truly a rare general."

Minister of the Ministry of War trembled in his heart. Seeing that Emperor Yongxing was smiling, but his eyes were abnormally cold, cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly, and he said urgently:

"I have no eyes, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yongxing ignored him and asked him to maintain a bowed posture, and glanced at the princes with an ugly expression:

"Is there any food and grass, and no one who can fight. The imperial court has been raising soldiers for 600 years, and they have raised your group of things? Fortunately, the countries in the Western Regions did not send troops into the country, but only harassed at the border of Leizhou.

"Otherwise, the army from the Western Regions has come to the capital at this time."

When it came to the end, Emperor Yongxing roared out loudly.

The princes were silent, knowing that he was complaining about the untimely preparation of money and food, and unable to send troops to Qingzhou immediately.

If the treasury had money, the reinforcements were already on their way to Qingzhou.

During this period of time, the Ministry of Households has been collecting taxes and collecting people's fat and anointing. This is what the imperial court will inevitably do under the war, and it has been like this in all dynasties.

And such behavior is accumulating public grievances and depleting national power.

If the war can be settled, everything is easy to talk about. Once the court is defeated and the people resent, the country's luck will be exhausted in an instant.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. The soldiers in the front are resisting with their lives. If you have not prepared your money, food and troops for a long time, do you know how many opportunities will be delayed?"

Emperor Yongxing cursed loudly.

The princes are still silent.

At this time, the clear light rose, and a figure appeared between the princes and the emperor, it was Zhao Shou.

He was wearing a starched and grayed but meticulous Confucian shirt, his gray hair was hanging down casually, and his overall image was like a down-and-out scholar, or an old scholar.

Emperor Yongxing and the princes in the court were taken aback, they didn't expect Zhao Shou to "break" into the palace.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Shou smiled and bowed.

Emperor Yongxing settled down and squeezed out a polite smile:

"The dean will go to the Three Treasures Hall if there is nothing to do."

Zhao Shou laughed and said:

"The matter is at His Majesty's table."

Emperor Yongxing lowered his head in a daze, and saw that there was an extra document on the big case, he picked it up in some surprise, and when he looked up, Zhao Shou had disappeared.

The princes looked at Emperor Yongxing, waiting for his statement.

Emperor Yongxing unfolded the notebook, and as he read it, his expression changed extremely vividly. First, his face was full of astonishment, then his brows were tightly frowned. When he saw the back, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something surprising.

Then surprise turned to ecstasy.
