Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 103 Wang Mang's High Theory

Ministers either like money, or fame, or power.

And the two have one thing in common, they both like money.

But Li Gan has no money himself, so how can he get money to reward them? ?

During this meal, the officials below were extremely speechless about His Majesty's endless crooked ideas.

Are you going to have a competition?
Yan Song and He Shen had different reactions to this sentence.

Master He's eyes lit up, he smiled slightly, and glanced at Yan Song beside him, as if he had thought of something.

"Your Majesty! I will do my best, remember His Majesty's teachings, and take the people's livelihood as my own. I don't want to be better than the strict minister, but I ask for more disaster victims!"

Look, how can talk!
They don't want to beat Yan Song, they just want to save more disaster victims.

But if you save more, won't you win? ?
On the other side, Yan Song frowned.

No matter what, the money and food from his household department were always used for disaster relief, even if half of it was given to Heshen, he would not be happy.

As for what Li Gan proposed, Yan Xiang was even more reluctant to ask him to compare with He Shen to see who saved more victims.

He, Yan Song, is a very honest and upright official. What would it look like if he lost to a huge greed like He Shen? ?

However, now that He Shen has agreed, it seems that he can't refuse.

Otherwise, it will appear that Yan Song is afraid of He Shen.

"Your Majesty! I have been an official for many years, and I am well aware of the sufferings of the people! In this disaster relief, I do not seek to be superior to your lord, but only wish to prevent every victim from suffering!"

Good guy, this one has a higher level, and no one of the disaster victims wants to miss it. If he doesn't win, who will win?

Li Gan nodded in satisfaction: "I am very relieved that the two Qing families can think so."

Until now, he hasn't thought of anything that can motivate He Shen and Yan Song.

"How about this, when the two Qing families succeed in disaster relief, I still have a mysterious reward to give you."

Yan Song and He Shen raised their heads in astonishment, a mysterious reward? ?

The officials also looked up at His Majesty the Emperor in surprise, and said to themselves that you are always like a toad on a frog—an ugly flower.

There are also mysterious rewards, why don't you go to heaven?

But speechless, these people began to guess what the mysterious reward of His Majesty the Emperor was.

Let's reward money, this doesn't seem to be very mysterious, is it the shoulders that travel in the palace?But I already have it with adults!

Is it a reward for some weird stuff?
But all the ministers knew that almost all the things in the Duobao Pavilion in the imperial palace were emptied by the late emperor.

The old man said that he does not advocate luxury, and then he sold all those things for money...

Besides, Mr. He and Mr. Yan's family doesn't lack those rare gadgets, right?

The ministers tried to break their heads but couldn't guess what the emperor wanted to reward, so they could only sigh again, it's really an ugly flower.

Even though he is poor and white, he can still come up with so many tricks.

Li Ganduan sat on the dragon chair with a mysterious smile on his lips.

The best way to keep everyone from guessing the riddle is that he doesn't know the answer himself.

The boat will be straight when it arrives at the bridge, and it will take a long time until the disaster relief is over. What if he thinks of a solution in the middle?

Under Li Qian's signal, the old eunuch took another step forward and said loudly, "If you have something to do, play it early!"

Li Gan is also about to get up and leave. If you are all right, I have to get off work too.

"His Majesty!"

But He Shen suddenly got up and reminded: "Since the policy has been decided, it's better sooner than later."

"Your Majesty is also requested to decide the date of the expedition, and swear an oath to the southern suburbs!"

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials in the court were startled, and even Li Gan was also startled for a moment.

Swear?

He hadn't thought about it.

According to this, doesn't he have a chance to go out of the palace to have a look? ?

Does it fit?Will there be any danger?What are the benefits?What's the downside?
Before Li Qian could speak, Zhao Kuangyi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, when the army goes out to fight, it is just right for Your Majesty to swear an oath."

"However, this time it is not a conquest against foreign enemies, but a vassal state that I have worked hard for. It is really a bit of a fuss to make a big fuss."

The meaning in the words is very clear. If there is a war abroad, it is fine to hold a meeting to boost morale.

But now it's our big fight, and you still swear, isn't it a bit embarrassing? ?
After Zhao Kuangyi finished speaking, Wang Mang, Minister of Rites on the other side, stood up and retorted: "Wu Nai rebelled against the country! Why can't I swear to my teacher when I go out to fight against the rebellion? It's not written like this in any book of rites!"

Zhao Kuang's teeth itch in anger, every time this guy is against him!

Yan Song also stood up suddenly, bowed holding the wat and said: "Your Majesty, what Wang Zongbo said is very true."

"Why do you make such a fuss over a molehill? When a large army goes out to battle, the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers is not a small matter, but a top priority. Your majesty, it is the right thing to do to boost morale."

Yan Song's words were generally recognized by the civil officials, and these people stood up one after another and asked Li Gan to go to the southern suburbs to swear an oath and go to war.

However, not all generals who have made great achievements are reckless, and they have a lot of culture.

Yang Jian stood up slowly, and replied: "Wang Zongbo is familiar with the book of rites. When he knows that my main mission is to fight against foreign enemies, and when the imperial driver personally conquers, he needs your majesty to swear an oath in the southern suburbs."

"As for the crusade against Wu in this way, all you need is for your Majesty to issue clothes, horses, bows and knives to the generals in front of Chengtian Gate."

As soon as these words came out, the military generals seemed to have a reliance, and they became energetic one after another.

"What the general said is very true. Swearing to the master is a waste of money for the army, and it is not appropriate to do it!"

"The morale of the Forbidden Army is high, the battle must be won and the attack must be conquered! There is no need to attend this swearing-in meeting..."

Li Gan watched the quarrel between the civil and military sides, and his heart moved.

Although he hasn't tried to understand the respective goals of the two parties yet, he has a clear view of the current situation.

The confrontation between civil and military is another confrontation between civil and military!
At this time, is it time to speak for yourself? ?
Below, facing Yang Jian's criticism, Wang Mang smiled slightly, and many civil servants almost laughed out loud.

Talk about etiquette with us?I'm afraid you picked the wrong person!

Today I will give you a knife to pull your ass-open your eyes.

Wang Mang didn't even think about it, so he opened his mouth and said at will: "It is said in "Qian Li": "Fighting foreign relatives to conquer in the southern suburbs, the country is rebellious, and the emperor sends clothes, horses, bows and knives." This sentence can also be interpreted as conquering foreign relatives. At that time, His Majesty will swear an oath to the master in the southern suburbs of the capital, and when there are rebels in the court, he must even send his clothes, horses, bows and knives to the general at the time of the oath."

"It is recorded in "Records of Emperor Wuzong" that in the 12 years of Emperor Wuzong's rebellion, Wuzong swore an oath as a teacher in the southern suburbs, and then the army went out to fight. It is also recorded in "Records of Emperor Xiaozong" that in the seventh year of Emperor Xiaozong, Chidi Lu surrendered and rebelled, and Emperor Xiaozong was also in the southern suburbs Sworn Master. Besides..."

Amidst the smiles of the civil servants and the dumbfoundedness of the generals, Wang Mang gave several examples in a row, and then he continued: "The war of conquering foreign enemies that General Yang said is even more impossible to talk about!"

"What is a big war? This time, the twelve guards of the imperial guards in Beijing have sent ten guards. If this is not a big war, then what can be called a big war?"

"Is it true that His Majesty will go to the southern suburbs to swear an oath until the army of foreign enemies invades the capital and surrounds the capital?"
