Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 471
Tokyo, in Sang Weihan's mansion, ever since Shi Zhonggui recovered from his illness, Sang Weihan knew that he was cheated.

Especially after the Daning Palace medical officer who passed the news to him suddenly refused to meet him privately, Sang Weihan became more certain.

Because the only one who could think of using Shi Chonggui's health to seduce him into this poisonous plan was Feng Yu, the elder brother of Empress Feng who had always wanted to bring him down.

And only Empress Feng has the ability and courage to drive the palace Chinese medicine officer to pass false news to him, saying that Shi Zhonggui is terminally ill.

Others said that Shi Chonggui was dying, and that was cursing the emperor, but to Empress Feng, it was just the young couple making fun of each other.

"My lord, there is an angel delivering the message outside, but it seems that the person who came is not friendly." The eldest son's worried voice sounded from outside the door.

San Weihan recalled all the people he knew in his mind again, and found that he couldn't find anyone to intercede for him, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and accepted the fate he deserved.

On the third day of March, before the returning army arrived in Kaifeng, Tokyo, Shi Chonggui, who had recovered from his illness, deposed Sang Weihan as prime minister and became the governor of Kaifeng.

This governor of Kaifeng was given a step down by Shi Chonggui because of his old love.

Of course, Sang Weihan also understands that there is no reason why someone who has become the prime minister of the country will become a governor of the capital.

So after receiving the order, Sang Weihan quickly wrote a letter saying that he had a foot disease, and since then he closed the door and never went out again.

On the second day, Shi Chonggui paid homage to He Ning as the assistant minister of Zhongshu, and he was in peace with him. These are two of the prime minister's three-piece suit.

But Shi Chonggui gave his wife and brother Feng Yu the extremely important post of privy envoy who had the right to be in charge of the military.

Of course He Ning understood what this meant, and from then on, whenever there was an answer, he didn't ask any questions.

And he was very fortunate in his heart, because the later Jin court was facing an extremely difficult matter.

That is to reward the army returning from victory, but there is not much money in the treasury.

However, Feng Yu, who felt that he had become the prime minister, was not panicked at all. Seeing He Ning's eyes watching his nose, nose, nose, nose, and heart, he immediately passed He Ning unceremoniously and came to Shi Chonggui.

"Your Majesty, I learned earlier from my inquiry that there is only [-] guan in silver deposits this year, and I have to pay the salaries of hundreds of officials. If I can take it out, it can be up to [-] guan. I also ask your majesty to give some internal money to reward the troops. .”

He Ning still looked the same, but his nose twitched twice, Feng Yu seemed a little out of place when he said this.

Because the difficulty of rewarding this time is that Shi Chonggui is unwilling to pay internal money, and the imperial court's inventory is not enough to reward.

Shi Chonggui also looked at Feng Yu strangely, because Feng Yu knew that he didn't want to pay for his internal money, so why should he be asked to pay for his internal money in public now?

Seeing Baiguan and Shi Chonggui looking at him in surprise, Feng Yu suddenly had a sense of superiority in IQ, he said to Shi Chonggui.

"Soldiers fighting bloody battles for the country need to be rewarded by His Majesty. If there is a reward of ten thousand crowns, the whole army will surely be happy."

It turned out that he just let himself pay [-] guan!When Shi Chonggui looked at Feng Yu, he felt pleasing to the eye again.

It's just that even he felt that the imperial court only had [-] guan, and he only gave out [-] guan. The total reward of [-] guan was a bit too little, wasn't it?
One must know that if this amount of money is divided evenly, each person will only have a little more.

And it's impossible to divide it evenly. With so many officers, each person should be rewarded at least a hundred guan, plus the compensation for the war dead and wounded. For these alone, [-] guan may not be enough.

However, he is not willing to ask Shi Chonggui to pay more, so what can he do to be happy with Feng Shi if he has no money?Where do the food and wine come from?

Recently, Shi Chonggui recruited hundreds of weavers, called the Brocade Building, to pave the floor for him and Feng's brocade weaving.

This will cost sixty to seventy thousand guan, so how can there be so much money to reward?
But Feng Yu waved his hand and said to Shi Chonggui: "Ten thousand guan is enough, I heard that the soldiers came from the north, and they got more Khitan armor, good horses, gold and silver.

Selling a horse to a merchant is worth [-] guan, and the soldiers of the left and right armies who protect the saint have at least one or two horses.

The minister felt that it would be good to only give gold and silver brocades worth [-] yuan to the commanders and supervisors of each festival.

Those who have released Fangzhen can go to the local area to raise money and food, and the Jin army will protect the saints, praise the saints, and strictly guard the troops, and let the people in Tokyo and the surrounding areas contribute. "

"Hiss!" He Ning, who had been pretending to be a clay bodhisattva, widened his eyes suddenly. What Feng Yu meant was to turn the reward into self-financing!

That is to say, the local dental soldiers will be rewarded by Jieshuai himself after he returns to Jiezhen.

It turned out that meritorious men who were not Jieshuai, such as Hucile, were directly granted the title of Xuzhou Wuning Army Jiedushi, and his Liangzhou Xiaoqi and some infantry were rewarded, and they went to Xuzhou to raise money again.

As for the Guardians and Praises of the Forbidden Army, they will be apportioned by the people of Tokyo.

This is really a 'good way'!

The soldiers fought bloody battles for the country, and the local soldiers were rewarded by Jie Shuai, so they are soldiers of the country?Or a private soldier in a feudal town?
Will the central government still receive taxes from the local governments in the future?

As for the rewards of the Forbidden Army to be shared by the people of Tokyo, this is not the treatment that the army returns from victory. This is the operation of Li Siyuan, Li Congke and others after they led the troops into Beijing and ascended the throne!

However, He Ning squirmed his lips twice, only to see that Shi Chonggui's face was already moved.

Looking at Feng Dao and Li Song again, they just sat there without saying a word, and so did the rest of the officials.

He Ning sighed in his heart, although Sang Weihan's character is terrible, he is really capable and responsible. If he were here, he would definitely scold Feng Yu bloody.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why Shi Chonggui is determined to depose Sang Weihan with just a few slanderous words.

But thinking so, He Ning certainly wasn't ready to stand out.

Whoever is stupid to oppose it, even if the emperor is changed, they still have to rely on them to keep the court running, why bother to offend Shi Chonggui and Feng Yu at this time.

"The words of the privy envoys are the words of seeking the country. Even if the soldiers have made great achievements, a township commander is enough to repay them.

As for the Forbidden Army, His Majesty Lai's benevolence, now the household registration is prosperous, and the merchants have amassed tens of millions of fortunes, so it is nothing to reward them with one or two dollars! "

As soon as this person came out to speak, all the officials in the palace frowned more or less.

This person is Yin Peng, the deputy privy envoy Feng Yuxin recruited after Li Yantao was killed, and he is the most shameless person.

However, his words are very appetizing to Shi Chonggui.

Because Shi Chonggui doesn't want anything else now, he only wants one thing, that is, to pay a little bit of rewards to the soldiers, and then settle the matter, so as not to delay him having fun with Feng Shi, that's enough.

For governing the country, this guy actually doesn't have much concept in mind.

Because originally among Shi Jingtang's descendants, he was the one who was least favored.

On weekdays, he exists as Shi Jingtang's personal guard on the battlefield, and his personal bodyguard in life. His biggest advantage is that he is good at skills, looks very honest, and can do whatever he is asked to do.

After Shi Jingtang's heirs were almost killed, Shi Chonggui began to come into Shi Jingtang's sight.

Shi Jingtang once arranged for him to guard Jinyang as a left-behind guard in Beijing, but Shi Chonggui only served for more than three months and couldn't continue.

But in fact, Shi Chonggui couldn't do anything, didn't do anything, and couldn't win the support of those warriors in Jinyang at all, so Shi Jingtang could only transfer him back to Tokyo.

It can be said that Shi Chonggui has not received the education of an emperor, let alone the education of a commander in chief.

He had no idea how the country worked or what was going on outside of Tokyo.

He also lacks sufficient knowledge of his 'Grandpa Khitan' who is very angry but very tenacious.

According to Shi Chonggui's current situation, Khitan suffered such a big defeat, so he dared not dare to commit any crimes in the south.

So he nodded happily, "What Qing and others said is reasonable, and they have made meritorious service. Let's see where there is a lack of discipline and commander, and arrange them together. Especially in Hebei provinces, it is appropriate to arrange good generals to sit in command."

After solving the problem of rewards, Shi Chonggui left happily, and he still has to supervise the construction of Zide Palace.

Last autumn, Shi Chonggui sent envoys back to Beijing to urge the autumn tax to be paid, and brought a large number of local treasures and beauties, including dozens of musicians.

This woman, Feng Shi, may be very talented in training girl groups. The beauties she trained are good at singing and dancing.

Shi Chonggui couldn't help but like it, not only gave a lot of brocade and silk, but also planned to build a new Zide Palace in the Daning Palace, dedicated to raising these beauties.

This body is in good health, Khitan has also been defeated, Shi Chonggui is full of concern, when will Zide Palace be built?
. . . .

Shi Chonggui is gone, but He Ning, Feng Dao, Li Song, Feng Yu and his henchman Yin Peng cannot leave yet.

Everyone came to the Privy Council together to discuss the prisoner offering ceremony after the army returned.

Up to this point, He Ning couldn't bear it anymore, and he looked at Feng Yu.

"Zhongshu offered advice to the Son of Heaven to reward all the soldiers with [-] guan for their great achievements. Please give me a charter on how to do it."

After finishing speaking, He Ning looked at Feng Dao and Li Song again, "But Duke Dao and Duke Chou, the governor is currently in front of the army. If the soldiers are dissatisfied and get angry, our family is in Tokyo."

Feng Dao's characters are good, Li Song's characters are ugly, and the governor He Ning is talking about is Shi Chonggui's eldest son, Shi Yanxu, who is officially named Zhengzhou governor.

What He Ning meant was obvious. If the frontline soldiers knew about this reward plan, they might not accept it so easily.

Shi Yanxu was still in front of the army, if the soldiers were dissatisfied and simply supported Shi Yanxu to return to Beijing to cause chaos, it would be bad.

It's just that Feng Yu still didn't understand. This person is ignorant and has a thick skin.

He couldn't even tell the difference between appeasement and disappointment, and he dared to take the Jinshi examination.

When I was a member of Zhongshushe, I didn't even know how to draft an order, and I relied on my dog ​​leg Yin Peng to write everything for me.

At this moment, he didn't understand what He Ning meant, and felt that He Ning had disgraced him a bit, and was about to step forward to question him, when Yin Peng held Feng Yu by his side, and whispered something in his ear.

"The head of the country is still in the army."

Feng Yu shook suddenly, and immediately understood the danger of the matter.

Shi Yanxu is not the son of his sister Feng, but the son of Shi Zhonggui's first wife, Zhang. Zhang's father, Shi Yanxu's grandfather, Zhang Cong'en, was in the army.

Feng Dao let out a long sigh, and said to He Ning: "Teacher An and Duke Qi are loyal ministers, you can call them back to Beijing first, tell the truth, and ask them to come forward to appease the soldiers."

Li Song nodded, and said: "This time when they returned from victory, the sergeants have obtained a lot of wealth from the Khitan people. The soldiers will feel at ease, and the local government will reward the lintels, so that they can return with glory, and perhaps alleviate their dissatisfaction.

In addition, the merchants in Tokyo are cunning, and a certain person went to watch them in person, so that they would not dare to cheat and lower the price, and they could sell more money to make the soldiers happy. "

Everyone said what they said to each other, completely as if Feng Yu and Yin Peng did not exist, and under such circumstances, they were going to try their best to appease the soldiers so as not to lead to a mutiny.

The literati of the Five Dynasties can only do these things.

"Taiwei Zhang must also be called back first. If he is dissatisfied, he can stay at Yedu to pay for his merits."

Feng Yu hastily added that if Zhang Cong'en would not be called back, he was really relieved, for which reason Ye Du, who had been hanging for a long time, stayed behind and was willing to take it out.

Feng Yu was lucky enough to dare to promise that Yedu would stay in such an important position in such a place. This was actually the biggest joke of Shi Chonggui's dynasty.

Because in order to make the beauties happy, Shi Chonggui once promised in front of the Queen Feng Shi that Feng Yu must agree to the removal of all official positions above the governor.

Don't think it's just a joke. Last winter, Feng Yu was sick at home for more than a month, so Shi Chonggui told all the prime ministers face to face.

With the honor of the Son of Heaven, being a licking dog can be regarded as invincible.
