Chapter 440 The Defeat Has Been Determined
However, because His Majesty was seriously ill and the establishment of a heir apparent was imminent, Jiang Jingzhang was still the legitimate prince, and he had personally promised them that when he ascended the throne in the future, he would treat his clan members well, so the clan members would naturally support Jiang Jingzhang.

But now, the eldest princess has expanded her territory and her reputation has reached its peak. She only waits for the eldest princess to return to the court. It is found out that Prince Chang has been suppressing the eldest princess's lineage and silencing His Majesty in the court recently. Prince Chang will have to escape even if he dies. layer of skin.

The defeat of King Changjun has been decided.

They have lost their minds and will continue to fight Jiang Jingzhang!

Jiang Jingzhang's heart couldn't stop sinking, and his eyes looked hopefully at the ministers of the direct faction, hoping that they would continue to support him.

This group of people were still discussing before. After today's morning meeting, they went to the Taiji Hall and knelt down to ask Your Majesty to establish the throne, abandon personal feelings, put the country as the most important, the ancestors' foundation as the most important, and the inheritance of the ancestral temple as the most important. Your Majesty, one day If they don't establish a heir, they won't leave for a day and let His Majesty be roasted on the fire. Your Majesty is the king of a country and cannot be arbitrary.

However, the ministers of the direct lineage who had been so angry before were as quiet as chickens now.

Jiang Jingzhang finally understood that the situation was over.

Everyone chatted a lot. They were both shocked and amazed by what the eldest princess had done in the southwest. Doctor Liu was the most excited among them.

Shi Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs changed the subject: "Haha, because the South Vietnam is the leader of the country's personal expedition this time, and he has led an army of 20 to Lingnan. The Ministry of War is afraid that Lingnan will have insufficient supplies, so it has submitted documents to the Ministry of Households to allocate additional funds. Due to the recent North Korea Everything is complicated, and the documents are still backlogged in the household department. Now that the overall situation in the southwest has been decided, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, so I will take the first step, and you will leave slowly."

The other people in the household also ran away quickly.

The document for the additional payment of money arrived at the Ministry of Revenue as early as a month ago. Thanks to the eldest princess, the Ministry of Revenue has made a lot of money due to the illegal salt case. She is extremely rich and the national treasury is unprecedentedly full. I have no intention of leaving the money stuck with the paperwork.

However, such a large amount of money cannot be released just as easily. The Accounts Department hurriedly went through various procedures and calculated the accounts on the documents one by one and confirmed that they were correct. Half a month has passed. This is the fastest time the Ministry of Revenue has released money in the past years.

The Ministry of Household Affairs counted the money and prepared to hand it over to the Ministry of War. It was reported in the court that the eldest princess was trapped in the southwest and her life or death was not known. This caused a series of shocks in the government and the public.

His Majesty used thunderous means to clean up the clan;

The king of Changjun was ordered to think about his fault.

At the critical moment when the fall of "Chang" was in progress, His Majesty suddenly fell seriously ill.

Prince Changjun, who was staying at home, united with his clan members. Although he was not in the court, he manipulated his clan members and manipulated His Royal Highness Prince An. He reached into the heart of the court and stirred up troubles in the court. A turmoil over the establishment of the crown prince was revealed. There was a storm in the court.

The King of Changjun had various reasons to put the documents for the additional payment of money in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of War was unwilling to quarrel with King Changjun. After trying to mediate with no results, the matter of releasing the money was left alone. The money in the Ministry of Household Affairs was never Couldn't let it out.

The salary of the soldiers is so important. It is really shameful for the prince of Changjun to ignore the country for his own selfish interests.

Li Shangshu of the Ministry of War is a neutral faction. He needs to safeguard the overall situation of the court. Soldiers' pay is an important matter. Within the scope of the Ministry of War's powers and responsibilities, Li Shangshu does not dare to neglect his duties. If he misses the war, the Ministry of War will be involved.

Shi Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance has a bad reputation in the court because of his search. Although he is not a good person, at least he is an officer. The Qi family's army is weak. This battle is extremely difficult. If the battle fails due to lack of supplies, the Ministry of Hubu will also be freed. It doesn't matter.

Therefore, the two of them combined their efforts and could only use the power of the people to secretly mobilize business gentry in various places to donate materials in the name of the eldest princess's virtue.These supplies are open and transparent, and the whole world knows that even if King Chang is in power, he cannot block private supplies. Once word spreads, a charge of treason will be enough for him to drink.

In addition, the eldest princess had foresight and asked the Shenrui Battalion under the control of Prince Chang to escort the supplies. At the same time, she also retained a hand and appointed the Minister of War and the Royal Censor Taihuang to be responsible for supervising the transportation of supplies.

Within the scope of the Ministry of War's power and responsibilities, it is natural to go all out to handle it well. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the Lingnan War, the people responsible for supervising the transportation of supplies will bear the brunt.

Yushitai has the right to supervise all officials. Even though Prince Chang has great power, he can't do anything to him. Besides, Doctor Liu is one of the three princes, and his status in the court is only lower than that of General Qi. It is absolutely impossible for Prince Chang to be a ruthless person who touches the pillars when he touches the pillars. He will be caught in the matter of escorting supplies.

Li Shangshu of the Ministry of War also said: "A few days ago, the Ministry of War received several ships of war aid materials donated by the Marquis of Donghai. The Ministry of War is working overtime to register and verify them, hoping to put them into the warehouse as soon as possible and send them to Lingnan. It is not convenient for me to stay for a long time, so I will take the first step. "

A group of people from the Ministry of War also left together.

The Ministry of Industry is a direct descendant of the eldest princess and quickly said: "The Ministry of Industry is going to inspect the battle route tomorrow to ensure that the battle route from Luojing to Lingnan is smooth and that the transportation of supplies is foolproof. There is still a lot of preparation work to be done today. Don't worry. Keep."

Some generals even behaved like birds and beasts.

The people who stayed behind looked at each other. A clan member glanced at Jiang Jingzhang, who was stunned on the spot, and whispered: "How about we leave too?"

As soon as these words came out, the clan members reacted and left quickly as if they were being chased by a dog, smearing the soles of their feet with oil.

Before Prince Rong left, he looked back at Jiang Jingzhang, who was standing blankly in the hall, ignoring the dog, and touched his nose. Even he felt embarrassed for Jiang Jingzhang.

King Rongjun clearly saw all this today. Due to the fact that the eldest princess was a woman, the courtiers all criticized her and were not very convinced. However, the eldest princess never cared about it, as long as she did her job well. , and never criticize others harshly.

Others only think that the eldest princess is accommodating and humble, but they don't know that the eldest princess has a big personality. Most people can't reach her bottom line. Those who encounter her bottom line, such as Ye Shangshu, Cheng'an Hou and others, can't defeat her.

With this silent method of moisturizing things, she captured people's hearts bit by bit and became the core of the court. Even when the eldest princess went to the southwest, the court situation was still stable. However, when the eldest princess was trapped in the southwest, news about her life and death was unknown. When he arrived, the political situation was stable, and people's hearts suddenly fluctuated.

This time the eldest princess is safe in the southwest and is about to return to court. The courtiers who are leading the group seem to have taken reassurance.

Even he didn't realize that the eldest princess's control over the court had reached this level.

His niece is really amazing!
Prince Rong's eyes deepened.

"They just left like this?" The minister of the direct lineage was dumbfounded.

No, the eldest princess is about to return to the court. These ministers who support the establishment of a legitimate heir, don't get together to discuss countermeasures, and just leave like this? !

The crowd was speechless.

It can be regarded as an admission. Among these clan ministers who are closest to the imperial power and most likely to change the direction of the situation, which one of them truly supports His Highness Prince An?
