The rise of the prince

Chapter 349 The Battle of Words
In the inner hall of Kunning Palace, there was a lot of noise, and there were no more than a dozen people who could stand here.

The Crown Prince of the East Palace is the head, and then the two chief officials of the Zhengshitang, Tongzhong Shumen, Pingzhang Shi Wangyue, and Shenzhi Zhengshi Yu Chengan.

The chief officials of the three divisions, Tang Zhouwei, the envoy of the Ministry of Household Affairs;

Zhong Daoyu, the privy envoy of the Privy Council, and Wen Daoli, the deputy privy envoy.

The official of the Sanya, Zhao Guanghua, the commander of the horse army of the guard army, and Tong Guan, the commander of the infantry army of the guard army.Yang Hongzhao, the commander in front of the palace, is still stabilizing the overall situation in the south
Li Xingzhou was also there. There were not so many rules in this side hall, so he stepped back, not wanting to interrupt. Although he became more and more suspicious that the rise of the Jurchen would repeat itself, after all, the current life is different from the previous life, so he dare not conclude .

If the rise of Jurchen repeats itself, how can Jingguo benefit from it?He couldn't help thinking
On the other side, the voices of the people also gradually decreased.

This is not the main hall outside. People who can stand here have a lot of weight in their words, so everyone has a tacit understanding and will not talk nonsense.

Gradually, during the discussion, everyone reached a consensus, that is, let the Ministry of Rites come forward to meet the Jurchen envoys. As for whether they can see the emperor, we will wait until we ask you.

Moreover, there was no battle report from the northern region, and no one was sure whether the Jurchen's words were true or not, so they let the Jurchen envoys temporarily stay in Yingtian Mansion.

Zhao Guanghua and other generals doubted Jurchen's words.

Because it is too scary to win Tokyo Road with only the Jurchen tribe. Although the Jurchen made peace with Goryeo, Goryeo is separated by a high mountain and cannot intervene. It has been a dependent country since ancient times and has no ability to fight outside.

Goryeo's secret color Although the world's treasure is true, Goryeo can't help the Jurchens across the mountains.

Li Xingzhou is purely on guard, so he can't get in the way. He holds the new army in his hand and belongs to the Privy Council. He is completely independent of the Privy Council, the Sanya, and the Zhengshitang.

The crowd didn't try to be independent of him. In his position, Li Xingzhou began to clearly feel alienated.

He frowned, and finally slowly chewed out some flavor, could this be what the emperor wanted?
He looked up, and the emperor settled the matter expressionlessly, and ordered everyone to disperse.

Just as he was about to leave, Eunuch Fu An came over again and whispered: "My lord, please wait a moment, Your Majesty wants to see you."

Li Xingzhou was surprised, and followed him to the rear without further ado.

He has memories of the palace, but he is not very familiar with it. He followed Fu'an through the long corridor, and after walking for a long time, he arrived at a palace with gorgeous bricks and tiles. This is much smaller than the main hall of Changchun. This is Kunning Palace. The emperor's private palace.

The Jing Dynasty was not like the highly centralized Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial palace was not that big, and Li Xingzhou was taken to the main hall of Kunning Palace by Fu'an in a short while.

In the main hall, there were already several people waiting, the crown prince, Degong, Yu Chengan, He Zhao, and Zhou Huachong, the censor Zhongcheng who met yesterday, and another one he didn't know, there were not many people, there were six of them in total, with different expressions .

The crown prince seemed to be gloating, Degong frowned slightly, Yu Chengan just smiled at him, while He Zhao's face was dark.

What's going on here?
Li Xingzhou couldn't figure it out, and his heart tensed up. As soon as he entered the hall, the emperor above waved his hand, a little eunuch brought a stack of documents to him, and Degong introduced the unknown person to him: "This It's Xun Li, the imperial historian."

Li Xingzhou made a bow, and the other party returned the salute.

"I asked you guys to come here today to discuss how to deal with the rebels in the south.

Everyone in the Ding family has been sentenced to death, but several big merchants in Suzhou are uncertain. They said that they were coerced by the thief, and finally they captured the thief and opened the door to surrender. "The emperor said lightly.

"Naturally, we should deal with it seriously, to deter rebellion. If we don't take it seriously, everyone will not be afraid of my court and disrespect the king's law." The crown prince was the first to express his position. As the crown prince of the East Palace, he should be the first to express his position.

The crown prince took the lead to speak, and everyone began to express their opinions. Yu Chengan cupped his hands for the second time: "Indeed, the old minister also thinks that it should be taken seriously. In this way, apart from what the crown prince said to deter Xiaoxiao, it can also be rich for the people." Yu Chengan Arching his hands, he stepped forward and continued: "The people in Su and Lu have been suffering from wars and turmoil, and the people are struggling to survive. The disposal of several major businesses at this time is not only to deter rebellious hearts, but also to find a way for many people to survive."

When he said that, everyone didn't speak, and even He Zhao only had a slightly bad face.

Indeed, although the words are blatant and unfair, they are very realistic. To sacrifice a few big businesses and use the wealth of a few people to resettle the people of the two places, the imperial court no longer has so much money.

Years later, the national treasury was almost exhausted due to the successive large-scale dispatch of troops.

"Furthermore, this can also clean up the trend of domination and military expansion in various places!
Wen rule can bring peace to the country, but the prosperity of martial arts will lead to chaos, and the warriors will bring disaster to the country. The previous emperors before our dynasty were too lax in controlling the warriors, so there are chaos everywhere today, and the young people dare to rely on force to raise chaotic flags and severely punish the culprits. It also has the effect of stopping the wind. "Yu Chengan said eloquently, and everyone nodded slightly.

Li Xingzhou began to admire him a little bit. This matter can also be related to civil and military positions. Want to take this opportunity to suppress warriors?

This Yu Chengan is really old and cunning, just fabricate one of the trumped-up charges, it's like criticizing anything, as long as you say "xx has no soul", even though this painting is good, it has no soul; even though this word is good, it has no soul; This dubbing is good, but it has no soul
Yu Chengan's logical cover is like this, as long as there is a reason for it, then it will be added. This is indeed the favorite method used by some civil servants in the past dynasties.

A warrior is a disaster for the country, isn't he Li Xingzhou a warrior, and he is the only warrior here.
It can be seen that Wen Yue and Wu Xi of the Jing Dynasty were almost the same as those of the Northern Song Dynasty, but on the surface they still maintained the appearance of combining civil and military skills.

So Li Xingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency Yu has an excellent opinion, but I also have one thing that I don't understand."

"Oh my lord, why don't you understand, if it's not a big deal, you can discuss it in private, what I'm talking about here is a big deal of family and country." Yu Chengan looked at him seriously.

Li Xingzhou smiled, the so-called can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, Yu Chengan said half of what he said, it was a cryptic warning to him not to talk nonsense.

He already understood what kind of person the other party was, "Ding Yi, the head of the bandit, is a Confucian scholar. The Ding family has four generations. Both of them have achieved great fame. The ancestor of the Su family, the prefect of Suzhou, was also the first in the imperial examination. He was a student of the Son of Heaven. Master Zhao Yu In other words, can it also be said that literature is a disaster for the state, and the source of disorderly goods are all scholars?"

After Li Xingzhou finished speaking, he fixedly looked at Yu Chengan, his chubby body paused, he hesitated for a while and said: "This prince is far-fetched and confusing!"

"So Master Yu is not far-fetched to confuse the public?" He asked back.

Yu Chengan was speechless and unable to answer, and his expression became ugly.

"That's enough! Nephew, how can you talk to your elders like this? Mr. Yu is the elder of the two dynasties, and he is also the deputy prime minister of this dynasty. You should respect him." After reviewing all the dossiers, I found that you have repeatedly favored several big merchants in Suzhou in the battle report, and now you are contradicting the Deputy Prime Minister because of this, there must be something unspeakable."

As soon as the prince said this, everyone looked at him. It has to be said that his move to change the subject was so beautiful that even the emperor above looked over.

"Don't you want to give an explanation, nephew?" Seeing this situation, the corner of the prince's mouth turned up, and he asked.

Seeing that the situation was not right, De Gong squeezed his arm from behind in a panic, which meant to keep him steady and not to be irritated by the prince.
