My country is dead again [Rebirth]

Chapter 33 The Wrong Believers

In March of Yangchun, Xie Ruzhuo didn't have the mood to appreciate the spring scenery. The reconstruction of the three camps was under his control, but the issue of lack of money was still unresolved.

After much discussion among the ministers in the court, they proposed to borrow money from the four chief soldiers of Northern Xinjiang first, because they must have money.

Sun Bingde knew in his heart that this method was too naive, but he didn't stand up to refute it, and he didn't know what kind of idea he was playing.Xie Ruzhuo responded to all changes without change, and did not interfere, letting the civil servants push out Tang Hechun, the oldest person, to borrow money.

Half a month later, Pei Yuankai went to the court, saying that it was okay to borrow money, but the front line in Cangzhou had to be retreated fifty miles, the reason being that without a sum of money, the defense of the fifty miles could not be maintained.

Wu Xianrong went to the court and said that it is okay to borrow money, but the court said last year that it was short of money, and the military expenditure for Xishan was reduced by half, which was posted by themselves.

Song Qingge directly copied a copy of Wanyang's account books, and let the court see for himself whether he is rich or not.Of course, I didn't say which account book it was.

The remaining one, Qi Junmao, still closed the door and ignored the court.

Seeing the embarrassment of this result, the civil servants thought about how to make up for some face, so the Youdu Yushi wrote that the four generals in northern Xinjiang had colluded with the Suifang Guard for many years and enriched their own pockets. The accounts of the guards in Suifang forced them to give money.

Before Song Qingge wrote a letter asking to check the guards, the main purpose was to check the number of soldiers and officials under the guards. They didn't take the step of accounting, and they didn't brazenly pull several general soldiers into the water. It was no different from ransacking the house, Xie Ruzhuo could only praise them for their bravery.

This matter is an act of loyalty and a matter of reputation. The cabinet was afraid of losing people's tongue, so it also submitted a letter to support it.

In the end, it was hard for Xie Ruzhuo to ride a tiger. If he agreed, everyone would be stupid together. If he didn't agree, he would appear weak and cowardly. It was a headache.

The four commanders obviously knew that they would eventually have a battle with these civil servants, and that they were destined not to have peace with the court for long, so they began to put pressure on the court one after another.

Pei Yuankai went home from the front line in Cangzhou, euphemistically saying that the court had doubts and thought about it behind closed doors, and the people from Beidi violated the border again after the beginning of spring. At this time, the battle in Cangzhou was raging.

Wu Xianrong followed suit, went home to thank guests behind closed doors, and ignored the battlefield in Xishan.

A few days later, Song Qingge couldn't sit still any longer. He took the initiative to send troops twice when he went south. He also sent a group of troops when the three major battalions were rebuilt. Now that the court wanted to tear him apart, he silently withdrew the soldiers and horses of the three major battalions. And if he wants to go south again this year, he basically won't lend a helping hand.

Dayu was already besieged on all sides, lingering on his last breath, and now his falling out with the four generals would make things worse. In desperation, Xie Ruzhuo first appeased Pei Yuankai and Wu Xianrong, at least persuaded them to go back to the front line to fight, and then privately sent a letter to Song Qingge , begged him to send the soldiers and horses back to rescue the three major battalions, and finally told the civil officials calmly that this matter needs to be solved slowly, and the relationship with the four general soldiers must be properly handled.

The civil servants are the ones who don’t cry when they see the coffin. Now of course they are afraid when they see the coffin, and each of them began to think about how to write a letter to offer advice, how to deal with the relationship with the four general soldiers, and strive for the greatest benefit for the court.

The three major battalions were in the midst of this turmoil, and they almost fell short shortly after they were rebuilt. Fortunately, Xie Ruzhuo stabilized the situation in time, and the newly appointed generals had some courage, and all matters were still proceeding smoothly.

Although the Minister of the Ministry of War does not admiral the three major battalions, many affairs of the three major battalions are still inseparable from the Ministry of War. The weapons needed must be approved and dispatched by the Ministry of War. Recently, Yue Tingchuan has been frequently going to the Ministry of War. Cut off a little from that batch of heavy armor.

Today he brought Shen Ci with him. The original intention was that several people would help to suppress the situation. However, Shen Ci was the most annoying to talk to these civil servants. Shen Ci disappeared in an instant.

Shen Ci sneaked out of the side hall to get some air, and caught a glimpse of two people talking in front of the main room. He was leaning against the wall, not deliberately hiding his figure, and those two people stood there openly, and they didn't look like they were talking about big secrets. thing.

He knew the person facing him. He was a student of Sun Bingde, named Deng Lv. Zhong Shang played to impeach him.

And the person with his back to him was holding a memorial book in his hand, even though he could only see his back.He also immediately recognized who this person was.

Calculating the time, he has already guessed what is written in the playbook, and soon Sun Bingde will send the playbook to Yuqian through the supervisor of ceremonies, and will definitely try his best to let Xie Ruzhuo see it.

Hua Yang...

He said the name silently in his heart, and there was a gloomy look in his brows.

That Hua Yangyu handed the playbook to Deng Lv, with a smile on his face, Deng Lv said something in a low voice, both of them looked happy.

Shen Ci already knew what they were talking about, so he didn't bother to listen carefully, and silently watched Hua Yangjiao go back to the Department of Cleaning Officials in the Arsenal. Deng Lv turned and left the Ministry of War. Are you in a daze here faster than anyone else?"

"It's nothing." Seeing that he got the letter from the Ministry of War, Shen Ci understood that it was a good thing to do, and walked out behind him, "I will ask for a leave tomorrow morning. I have something to do. I will see the situation in the afternoon. I should be able to come back."

Yue Tingchuan frowned: "What's the matter with you? It's not a legitimate reason."

Shen Ci deliberately smiled a little bit secretly, "Is it serious to ask His Majesty when you enter the palace with a humble job?"

Yue Tingchuan: "..."

Early the next morning, Shen Ci left for Dongchang. It was not the day to enter the palace to teach riding and archery. He could not enter the palace at will, so he could only ask He Xiaoman for help.

Fortunately, He Xiaoman was usually in Dongchang before noon, and when he heard that Shen Ci was looking for him, he hurriedly invited him in.

"Supervisor, did Sun Bingde submit a memorial from the Ministry of War yesterday?" Shen Ci hurriedly asked as soon as he saw someone, "It was written by Hua Yangjiao, the head of the Ministry of Officials in the Arsenal."

He Xiaoman was at a loss, but seeing that Shen Ci was in a hurry to come to the door, he thought that this matter was unusual, so he called the clerk of the Rites to ask, and learned that there was such a copy, but it was not in their hands.

"The supervisor of ceremonies now has three pens, and not all of them can go through my hands. One of them belongs to the empress dowager." He Xiaoman explained, "Sun Bingde has some contacts with the empress dowager secretly. If he wants to ensure this The playbook will definitely be sent to the imperial court, and I will definitely ask the Queen Mother's people for help."

Shen Ci asked the servant: "Where is that memorial book now?"

The errand replied: "Lin Bingbi just entered the palace, and should have been sent to the imperial court."

Shen Ci didn't expect that it was a step too late, and said solemnly: "Master Governor, this matter is of great importance, please bring a humble official into the palace to see His Majesty."

It is not difficult to enter the palace, He Xiaoman immediately sent someone to arrange it, wondering: "What's the problem with that memorial? Why is Shen Experience so anxious to meet the saint?"

"I won't be able to tell for a while." Shen Ci walked out of the door a few steps, "In short, it's best not to let His Majesty see the memorandum, and if you see it, you must keep it and not publish it. Hua Yangjiao must not be used."

In Yongning Palace, Lin Fen, Supervisor of Rituals, held a stack of playbooks and presented them to the imperial case. Xie Ruzhuo took the top one, opened it and saw the name of the performer, and raised his eyelids to look at Lin Fen faintly.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorabilia that Yuan Weng specifically asked His Majesty to read in person." Lin Fen understood, bowed and said, "Yuan Weng knew what His Majesty was worried about, and I met with Hua Yangjiao, the head of the Ministry of War's Department of Cleaning Officials, After chatting, I deeply feel that Mr. Hua's strategy is a good one, so I asked Mr. Hua to write a memorial and present it to His Majesty, hoping to relieve His Majesty's worries."

Xie Ruzhuo smiled inexplicably, knowing that Lin Fen belonged to the Empress Dowager, Sun Bingde and the Empress Dowager could not be said to be close, but the world is all for profit, sometimes it is not impossible to put aside prejudices and be an ally.

Lin Fen couldn't see what Xie Ruzhuo was thinking, but felt that the smile was half-true and half-fake, and felt unreasonably uneasy in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what do you think of Master Hua's plan?"

Xie Ruzhuo glanced quickly, it was exactly the same as the one he had seen in his previous life, and he naturally understood why Sun Bingde ignored the civil servants when they wanted to borrow money from the four generals. Anxiety is something that no one can calm down, and if you present a clever plan in a difficult situation, it will make people's eyes shine. Suddenly, you must appreciate the person who offered the suggestion in every way.

"How?" Xie Ruzhuo said with a smile, "Of course it's a good idea, even Yuan Weng thinks it's a good idea, so why not?"

Lin Fen breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "It seems that Mr. Hua has real talents and learning. It's a pity that he was not promoted in the last election."

Xie Ruzhuo smiled and said nothing, pretending not to understand what the words meant.

The memorandum in front of me describes in detail how the imperial court should negotiate with the four general soldiers at this time, how to divide the forces, and also proposes better strategies for rebuilding the three major battalions. Strengths and current predicaments have penetrating insights.

In the previous life, Xie Ruzhuo didn't know Hua Yangjiao, so he chose him to be the doctor after the election, but he still didn't remember this person until he saw this playbook at about the same time. Shangshu.

Although Xie Ruzhuo knew that Hua Yangjiao was a member of Sun Bingde, he didn't care about this relationship in his previous life. He thought he knew people and made good use of them. Dayu has not had a civil servant who is so proficient in military affairs for a long time, and he is destined to be a capable minister in governing the world.

He sincerely reused Hua Yangjiao, and let him be promoted from the Minister of the Ministry of War to the Minister of the Ministry of War, from the Minister of the Ministry of War to the Minister of the Ministry of War, the admiral of the three major battalions, and entered the cabinet. He became the youngest cabinet minister at that time, second only to the court. Yu Sun Bingde.

In his previous life, before his death, the prince was forced into the palace. He didn't feel any regrets. He had devoted all his efforts to the prince, and he had really suspected him in his obsession. This was the fruit of his own suffering.

But there are two things that he regrets for the rest of his life, and he will try his best to avoid recurrence in this life no matter what.

One is to part with Shen Ci, causing Shen Ci to die in the frontier.

The second is that he trusted Hua Yangjiao.

During his 30 years of imperial career, he was good at detecting people's hearts, and consciously figured out everyone's thoughts, but he only believed in Hua Yangjiao by mistake.

Knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, playing with people's hearts is always the most dangerous thing in this world. If you make a mistake, you will be played by people's hearts. Even if he is an emperor, he can't really see through everyone's hearts.

He once gave Hua Yangjiao power and trusted this good minister wholeheartedly, but in the end Huayangjiao almost ruined their road to the restoration of the country, and even hurt the Wanyang Song family. Song Qingge and Song Qinglai died because of him one after another.

Since God gave him a chance to do it all over again, in this life, he will never let Hua Yangjiao hold important power again, causing another tragic tragedy.

The author has something to say: Song Qingge and Song Qinglai will not die in this life, don't worry, the deputy cp is also he.

After all, I am my own mother. In fact, this book can be regarded as a rebirth novel to some extent (the main drama contestant speaks without blushing and heartbeat)
