The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen

Chapter 175

Cheng Engong frowned: "General Qi is alarmist. You also said [what if], which shows that this is also the [only] possibility. Your Majesty's opposition to conspiring with China to conquer Vietnam is out of long-term considerations. Could it be because of a moment of trouble that the Southern Dynasty will be trapped in tomorrow's disaster?"

Immediately, courtiers followed suit.

Emperor Nanxing's face was sullen, and Zhang Dequan couldn't help bowing his back. His Majesty was very dissatisfied with the ignorance of the Taiwei Mansion.

The eldest princess collapsed on the ground, not daring to say a word.

tsk~
Qi Linfeng kowtowed suddenly again, and Jiang Fuguang who was on the side heard the sound of 'dong', and his forehead couldn't help feeling numb, and he felt pain for him. Let the uncle act, and he really acted a bit of real emotion.

"Your Majesty, each of the [-] soldiers guarding Lingnan is a good son of our Southern Dynasty. If a big war comes, and the Qi family's army will deal with it alone, there will definitely be heavy casualties in the army."

Qi Linfeng raised his head, majestic, the experienced commander of the first army couldn't help but get red eyes when he mentioned the soldiers under his hands.

All the people present sighed.

The situation in Lingnan should be serious. Even Qi Linfeng, a mighty general, finds it difficult. He is as proud as the Taiwei Mansion. back up.

Taiwei's Mansion is really dead!

Speaking of this, Emperor Nanxing seemed moved: "Is the situation in Lingnan really so severe?"

Cheng Engong frowned, thinking something bad in his heart.

Qi Linfeng's voice became hoarse, and tears filled his eyes: "Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, in the southwest area, Piroyer frequently went out to attack the surrounding barbarians, large and small, and there were frequent frictions with the southwestern border of the Southern Dynasty, so I had to divide our troops to take precautions."

"In this way, the number of troops to deal with the reduction of South Vietnam, coupled with the menacing South Vietnam, every time there is a war, it is inevitable that there will be huge casualties. Weak, the strength is not as good as before."

What he said made the listener sad and the hearer shed tears.

Jiang Fuguang turned his head to look at the tearful uncle. This was no longer acting, but the real situation of the Qi family army.

My heart couldn't stop feeling sour.

Emperor Nanxing couldn't help but change his face, his gaze was as sharp as an arrow, and he shot at Ye Shangshu, the Ministry of War.

Ye Shangshu's forehead was sweating faintly, and he was trembling a little while holding Chaohu's hand.

According to Qi Linfeng's words, the Qi family's army has been weak every year, and the lack of strength is half of the responsibility of the Ministry of War.

If at other times, one can still get confused, but right now it is related to the matter of conspiring to conquer Vietnam, and it is a major diplomatic matter. If something goes wrong, the Ministry of War will bear the brunt.

Qi Linfeng, a dignified eight-foot man, couldn't help but burst into tears: "My minister, I have gone to the court several times to ask the Ministry of War to increase the number of troops, increase the military salary, make sufficient preparations in terms of materials, and accumulate strength. Feng, the Ministry of Household Expenditures is insufficient, so I refused the minister's petition, and the minister also knew that the Southern Dynasty was huge and the state's use was huge, so he could only endure it."

There was no sound in the hall.

No one doubted that Qi Linfeng's words were false, a handsome man of eight feet was crying in the hall, could it be false?

These tears are the blood tears of the Qi family army.

Emperor Nanxing looked coldly at Ye Shangshu: "Ye Qing, is what General Qi said true?"

"Here," Ye Shangshu hurriedly stepped forward, with a thick layer of sweat on his forehead, "Qi, General Qi has indeed asked the Ministry of War several times to increase the number of troops, increase the military salary, and increase the collection of grain and grass. The minister also negotiated with the Ministry of Households. , The Ministry of Households did say that the treasury is not rich, and the Ministry of Finance's income and expenditure are tight. The minister did not expect that the situation in Lingnan was so serious. "

Ye Shangshu immediately knelt down.

The inner court will keep records of the notes and documents played by officials, and you can know the year, month and day by checking it.

All the memorial documents are in duplicate, one copy is kept in the palace, and one copy is kept in the yamen of each ministry. Your majesty will find out after checking that Ye Shangshu can't hide anything about this matter.

He didn't lie either, the household department is notoriously stingy, but whenever they ask them for money, they always say that the treasury is not rich and the household department's expenditure is tight.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, just throw the pot away.

Shi Shangshu of the Household Department felt that he was wronged, and hurried to the hall: "Your Majesty, the Household Department is in charge of all the revenue and expenditure of the court. If everyone asks for money from the Household Department, the Household Department will give it as soon as they let go. No matter how much money the court has, it will not be enough." If the Ministry of War wants money, it has to produce relevant documents to prove it, but the Ministry of War has never submitted any document with reasonable evidence to the Ministry of Households, and this is not the fault of the Ministry of Households.”

Ye Shangshu was not convinced, and argued with Shi Shangshu on the spot: "Then, Shi Shangshu has admitted that the Ministry of War has submitted to the Ministry of Households the document concerning the increase of payment in the Lingnan area!"

Shi Shang is not angry: "But the content of the document submitted by the Ministry of War is not exhaustive. The Ministry of Finance has also reminded the Ministry of War to submit more detailed documents before the Ministry of Finance can agree to approve the funds. Afterwards, it will be submitted to His Majesty. Your Majesty decides whether to pay Lingnan more money, but the Ministry of War is perfunctory."

"Every time you are asked to allocate funds, it's like killing your old people, digging and searching. Now it's because the Ministry of War documents are not clear. I think the Ministry of Households is deliberately making things difficult!"

"Fuck your ass, the Ministry of Households is in charge of the country's revenue and expenditure, how can you not be clear about the important affairs of your family and country, and make things difficult for your military department, why am I confused about this?"

"Heh, the words are nice. When did you ask for money, you didn't try to shirk in every possible way, calling for hardship and poverty. When did we not ask grandpa and grandma for money?"

"Money is the foundation of the Southern Dynasties. If we don't be stricter, how can we ensure the national balance of payments?"

"..."

The two adults quarreled anxiously in the hall, their faces turned red and their necks were thick.

No one in the hall dared to intervene, since it was related to the Lingnan War and important diplomatic affairs, no one dared to say anything about it.

Listening to these two people coming and going, not giving in to each other, Emperor Nanxing couldn't tell that they were passing the buck to each other.

The Ministry of War has indeed never submitted a detailed silver release document.

The Ministry of Households can not spend money, so they are naturally happy to see it. The two of them worked together and ignored the increasingly severe situation in Lingnan. In addition, Cheng Engong controlled the Ministry of War, and his party members spread all over the court. The emperor was also fooled.

If Fuguang hadn't come up with this move, he would still be in the dark.

Damn, hateful!
"Okay," Prime Minister Gu said, "What kind of noise are you making in the hall?"

Shi Shangshu immediately shut up.

Ye Shangshu shut up unwillingly.

Prime Minister Gu is here: "If there is a problem, it will be solved. Fortunately, the situation in Lingnan has not reached the point of no return."

This is to let them make up for their mistakes.
