After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

After hearing Qin Muzhao's words, the Four Princes were not happy.

They accused one after another: "What do you mean by Marquis Dingyuan? Do you mean that the urgent military report at eight hundred miles will be false? Or do you think that the eastern border will deceive the emperor?"

Qin Muzhao said coldly: "This Marquis didn't say that, but now that the military newspaper arrives, there are so many people coming to ask for money, food and military equipment, so I can't let this Marquis not doubt it, and this Marquis is also the family of military generals for generations. , even though he abandoned martial arts and followed literature, he still knows some tricks in the army."

Zhuang Guogong Wei Ceqing said with a serious face: "Qin Houye, a lieutenant soldier, fought on the battlefield, licked blood on the tip of the knife, and survived under the hooves of the horse. But because of Qin Houye, a little tricky in the army, he used this to deny all Dongxia The hard work and loyalty of the soldiers?"

As soon as these words came out, many generals looked at Qin Muzhao with unkind expressions.

His words are too lethal.

Although the generals guarding the eastern border at the moment belong to the Four Princes' Party, there are still many families of generals in the court, and many of them are neutral and do not participate in party struggles.

Kong Xi jumped up suddenly, and suddenly slapped Qin Muzhao's face with his big mouth.

This move caused an uproar in the court.

Although Qin Muzhao's words aroused public outrage, it was in the court hall, not in the vegetable market. There was an emperor sitting in charge, and courtiers gathered in Xia Dynasty.General Kong Da's slap was shocking and weeping ghosts and gods.

Qin Muzhao was furious, he really endured not to fight back, he turned around and knelt down to the emperor, crying, "Your Majesty, please make decisions for your ministers, General Kong is disrespectful, he beat up the court officials, and he didn't take the Emperor seriously at all! Please punish me severely."

Kong Xi didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. He glared at Qin Muzhao viciously: "Hey, don't talk about other things. What does this general have to do with the emperor? If it weren't for the court, how could this general forgive you so easily?"

He took a step forward and kicked Qin Muzhao, who was kneeling, into somersaults.

"This general is beating you for three reasons. First, although you have abandoned martial arts and followed literature, your ancestors were all military generals. You have rejected all the merits and hard work of your ancestors with one sentence. You have forgotten your ancestors. You should fight! Second, you As an important minister in the DPRK, he openly provoked the antagonism between the Chinese and military camps in the DPRK and harbored evil intentions. He deserved to fight! Third, the soldiers fought bloody battles in the frontier, with their heads pinned to their waistbands at all times, and shrouded in horse leather at any moment. The border of Chen Bing in the Southern Qi Dynasty is related to the safety of the family and the country. But you stand here and talk for your own self-interest. I will stand here talking like a river, but I have never thought about what will happen to the people on the border, what will happen to the soldiers on the border! Are you wrong when you say that you will be hit for the capital?"

His beard and eyebrows are all raised, his beard is glaring, and his whole figure is like a Vajra in front of a Buddha, majestic and inviolable.

Qin Muzhao cried to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have no such intentions. In the matter of the court, everyone expresses their own opinions. Is it possible that they have to do something because they disagree with their own opinions? How can this court be so majestic and fortified?" A martial artist committing a crime here? If dissenting opinions are not allowed, why bother to discuss it?"

The emperor glanced at Kong Xi, and said: "General, have you lived comfortably these days, and you have money in your hands, so your hands are itchy again?"

Kong Xi's glaring gaze at King Kong froze for a moment, then he shrank his neck, smiled all over his face, and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, I'm a rough man. I fought with swords and guns on the battlefield. I can't hear people slandering those soldiers who risked their lives to defend their homes and the country. So I couldn't control it for a while, I knew I was wrong, and I didn't dare to do it again!"

He said with a smile, the roughness on his face made his smile distorted.

When the emperor got angry, he had to deduct his salary again. He didn't know how many months he had been in court in vain.If it weren't for the honor of his daughter, he wouldn't even be able to eat meat now.You can't let the emperor hold it back.

The emperor gasped.

Knowing that he has such a temper, he was angry and funny for a while.He laughed and scolded: "Anyway, it was your fault to do it in court, why don't you pay a gift to Marquis Ding Yuan?"

Kong Xi bowed his hands in a good manner, and said, "Qin Houzi, this general was impulsive. This general shouldn't have slapped you in the face. It hurt my hand. This general regrets it very much. I want to apologize to you!"

Everyone: "..."

Is this an apology?
But although the emperor was laughing and cursing, there was no anger on his face, nor did he intend to punish.They wisely kept silent, since they were not the ones being beaten anyway.

Qin Muzhao's face turned black with anger, he is Dingyuanhou, not some Qin monkey.That vulgar martial artist deliberately made trouble with him.He endured this tone first, and when the First Prince ascends the throne, he must settle the matter with him!
After such a commotion, the tense atmosphere just now relaxed a little.The emperor said indifferently: "Qin Hou is right, this is a court discussion, you might as well speak freely!"

Because of the different voices, the hall suddenly became lively.

Now it is the voice of the Quartet.

One side is the side of the Fourth Prince, who naturally agrees that money, food, equipment, weapons and so on should be given priority to the Eastern Territory, and some people even suggested that the formulation should be doubled compared to the past.Regardless of whether the battle is fought or not, there is always nothing wrong with holding good things tightly in your arms.

One side is from the First Prince's side, and they all object to what the Fourth Prince's side says, and they oppose it for the sake of opposition, and they even don't hesitate to use strong words for it.It's just because Qin Muzhao was slapped by Kong Xi, and there was still a clear mark on his face, which seemed a little funny.

On the one hand are some civil servants in the neutral faction, who feel that the imperial court is regulated.It is not impossible to handle special affairs, but it cannot exceed too much. After all, the imperial court raises soldiers for a thousand days and uses them for a while.Isn't years of military training just to protect the territory?It was time for them to show their talents at the border of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and the imperial court would protect them from any worries.But it is inappropriate to give priority to everything and put everything above others.

On the other side are the military generals in the neutral faction. They don't believe those civil servants who drag their mothers-in-law around, only intrigue and not do practical things.

For a while, the hall was very lively.

The emperor glanced across the entire hall, pausing for a while on the sons.Then slowly said: "King of Chu!"

Chu Jingxian, who didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, was a little out of his mind, and didn't know where his thoughts were flying, raised his head in surprise, his eyes were still a bit confused, looked at the high-ranking king, and came out and said: " My son is here!"

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Chu Jingxian paused for a while before saying, "What everyone said makes sense!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, how could Lao Qi say such an ambiguous sentence that no one could offend?This is surprising.

He said: "No reconciliation is allowed, I want to listen to your truth!"

Chu Jingxian said: "I feel that the batch of grain and grass in the Eastern Territory should be prepared first, and it is best to send it in advance. As for the free records of the arms and armament household department, those that exceed the number of years must be replaced by themselves, and it happens to be sent together with the grain and grass. Don’t worry about the age limit or something like that!”

The four princes and one party were not surprised by Chu Jingxian's words. They were already on the right side, and no matter how obstructed the eldest prince was, the final result would not change much.Unless the emperor doesn't want the city in the east.

Besides, their original purpose was not for this matter, it was just a beginning.

Chu Jingxian's words made the officials of the Ministry of Households feel ashamed, and Min Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, according to the system, there are still two months to raise food and grass in the Eastern Territory, and it will start in another month." Preparations, every step of the household department has a plan, although it is urgent, but this time two months in advance, it is too urgent. Not only is the household department short of manpower, but it is also difficult to raise money for the time being! "

Chu Jingxian said in a strange way: "Fashion Books cried poor in front of the father, are you saying that the officials of the Ministry of Households are eating vegetarian food? The king was away at the beginning, and the food and grass of the Ministry of Households were repeatedly delayed. Now that you are asked to prepare in advance, you still refuse in various ways." !"

Hu Fengxin, the servant of the household department, came out and said with a cold face: "His Royal Highness, the grain and grass transported to the south was delayed due to weather and accidents on the road. ?”

Chu Jingxian's eyes were sharp and his voice was cold and stern: "The soldiers on the frontier are using flesh and blood as knives to protect our land in Eastern Xia, but the household department is holding back with food and grass. Does an accident and pushing it to the weather become a normal reason for delay? ? You are in the capital, with high beds and soft pillows. You know that there is no food in the army, no grass for the horses, and even if the generals come into the world, it is difficult to meet the enemy with an empty stomach? Isn’t this a vegetarian meal on the corpse? Isn’t this negligence of duty?”

Hu Fengxin said with a stern face: "Today the court is discussing the matter of the Southern Qi army suppressing the border. Why does the King of Chu insist on holding on to the old matter?"

Chu Jingxian's eyes were cold, he snorted, and said: "I don't want to see you mothers-in-law and mothers pushing back and forth, as if the money in the household department is in your own pocket. The household department is the household department of the father, and Dongxia is the father." Yes, in the whole world, is it the land of the emperor, the shore of the land, or the servants of the emperor, you are just managing the household department, recognize your identities!"

The faces of the officials of the Household Department were livid with anger. They knew that Chu Jingxian had clearly said that the Household Department was aimed at Hu Fengxin alone. At the beginning, Hu Fengxin was in charge of the food and grass of the King of Chu’s army, but due to the delay, the entire army of the King of Chu’s army was almost wiped out. After the king returned to the court, he broke with this nominal uncle, and it is said that he also broke with the concubine De in the palace because of this.

Who didn't know that the moral concubine and the queen mother of Chu were kind and filial?The King of Chu would go to the palace to pay his respects to Concubine De every now and then, and he would also search for rare gadgets and delicacies outside the palace, just to put a happy smile on Concubine De's face.

But since he returned to Beijing after his expedition, he almost never went to pay his respects to Concubine De's Palace.

Hu Fengxin said angrily: "His Royal Highness, don't be bloody. All the colleagues in the household department are dedicated to their duties, and everything is done according to the emperor's wishes. In your eyes, you are actually a villain who is full of selfish pockets?"

The emperor looked at Hu Fengxin and Chu Jingxian who looked cross-eyed, with a secret smile deep in his eyes, and he said: "Okay, King Chu, I have found out what happened back then. Prediction? Don't mention this matter again. I already know what you mean, and I understand that the Ministry of Finance has concerns. The army of the Southern Qi Dynasty is suppressing the border. This matter cannot be taken lightly. According to the fashion book, there is really no need to be so anxious. News about the eastern border must be submitted to the imperial court without delay, and other unfinished matters must continue to be discussed by the court!"

Wei Ceqing was very satisfied with this result. Half of the food and grass for the frontier army was raised locally, and half was allocated by the household department.It is customary for the Ministry of Households to allocate once a month.

But this year's situation is different. The eastern border encountered a natural disaster and could not provide half of the food and grass needed by the frontier army. Wei Qiangheng of the eastern border had reported this situation to the imperial court earlier, and the imperial court asked them to collect from a city a little farther away. , do it cheaply.

But it has only been two months since the Southern Qi army came under pressure.

Whether there is food and grass in the east, whether there is enough food and grass, and how long it can last, they don't know.

That's why the four princes' party rushed to ask the court to allocate food and grass immediately.

However, the last batch of food and grass from the Ministry of Households has only been delivered for a month. Although this is only half of the military supplies in four months, it is definitely not so anxious.

The emperor asked the Ministry of Households to prepare for the preparations. Once the war broke out, the grain and grass would be shipped out immediately, so there was no fear of a grain crisis in the eastern border.

Wei Qiangheng didn't have to worry about the future, and he didn't have to worry about the war with Nanqi.

This matter ended with the fourth prince achieving his goal.

The first prince's faction was naturally annoyed. During this time, the fourth prince's faction was advancing step by step, but they had already retreated step by step.

Now that even Ming Chongjun is speaking for the Four Princes, how can they be in a good mood?

The emperor rubbed the center of his brows, he was a little tired, and was about to leave the court, but a censor came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have a report!"

The emperor reluctantly said: "Quite!"

What do you want again?They have already gained the upper hand, why don't they accept it when they see it?

This imperial censor, named Yu Zhiyan, said in a loud and clear voice: "In the early days of Chu, a minister said: 'Chu must be in chaos. If a rabbit walks on the street, ten thousand people will chase after it; if one man wins it, ten thousand people will never leave. If it is not decided, then a rabbit will run away, disturbing thousands of people; if the division has been decided, even if the husband is greedy, he will stop. Today, there are many favored sons in Chu, and there is no master in the throne, so chaos will naturally arise. The husband and prince are the foundation of the country, and the people The hope is also: the country has no foundation, and it disappoints the people. It is absolutely fundamental. The fundamental is to disturb the chaos, like a rabbit running away.' Now the same is true in Eastern Xia. Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of the country. Please establish a crown prince as soon as possible. To set the foundation of the country!"

The emperor squinted at Xu Zhiyan, and came again, uttering some words from his ancestors.Damn it, his Chao'er still needs to grow up now, the crown prince will be his sooner or later, but he can't let him stand out now, otherwise, those wolf cubs will go crazy!

He didn't know whether this Xi Zhiyan belonged to the eldest prince or the fourth prince, but he said slowly: "Xu Qing thinks, among my princes, which one can be the crown prince?"

Without even thinking about it, Xi Zhiyan said: "The position in the East Palace should be controlled by the son-in-law!"

It turned out to be the fourth child!

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you think?"
