Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 312
When the autumn is strong, the weather will turn cold, which is the time to sleep.

Coupled with the fact that Yun Qinghong made such a big fuss when he came back, most people were discussing how to respond to the emperor's reward for Yun Qinghong in the morning.

Therefore, no one noticed that the North Gate was closed earlier than usual.

And the movement in the northern suburbs of the capital did not spread to the capital.

On the morning of the second day, the emperor directly announced Yun Qinghong to the palace, and praised Yun Qinghong and others.

Then it was announced that Yun Qinghong would be promoted to an official by two more ranks, and he would be directly promoted to be a doctor of the Water Department Division of the Fourth Grade Ministry of Industry.

This is the most powerful person who can directly control the national water conservancy system.

Not only Yun Qinghong, but also Yun Chenshui was promoted to be a doctor of the fourth-rank official department, and Niu Fang was also promoted to be the fifth-rank head of the Ministry of Industry. position of real power.

This kind of personnel dispatch can be seen as the work of Yun Shilang, but with the great achievements in water control in the south and the voices of the students in the capital behind, Cai Xiang was so angry that he couldn't speak.

It was only when the emperor asked about the military rations that he vented some of his depression.

Since the previous emperor praised the flood, he kept complaining, and the emperor was speechless.

Moreover, Duke Zhen did not go to court today, and Duke Rong wanted to speak out but was stopped by others.

Cai Xiang and the officials of the household department eloquently and passionately vomited all kinds of bitterness, and then said, I want to ask the frontier army to work hard. This year the household department can only provide 120 million dans of grain, and it will not come until all the autumn grain is harvested. shipped.

That is after October.

After saying this, Duke Rong couldn't bear it any longer, he got rid of the person who held him, and stepped forward and said: "The emperor's lesson! After October, the Northland has been frozen for thousands of miles. How will the food be transported there? Bian Junchun The food has been exhausted, and the autumn food will not be available anymore... The national affairs are bigger than the frontier defense. If the frontier army loses, the whole country loses. Our generals will throw their heads and blood, but we can't resist the lack of food , no soldiers are available!"

"You generals, the imperial court supports you to protect the country, how can you shirk your responsibility like this?" an official jumped out and said.

"You also said it's support, there's no military rations, what do you take to support?" Yun Qinghong said lightly.

At the same time, he glanced at Cai Xiang.

Now, it is absolutely impossible for him and Cai Xiang to coexist peacefully. Then, standing with the military general is also a combination of forces.

Cai Xiang's face darkened, and he winked at his subordinates.

But before the subordinate could speak, the emperor said with a sullen face: "Cai Bing, Duke Rong said that grain cannot be transported after October. Is there such a thing?"

Although he couldn't quite understand what Cai Xiang said, the emperor still understood the last number and time.

Yesterday Zhao Hao also said that for the frontier army to spend the winter, in order to ensure that the soldiers and horses would not suffer too much from starvation and disease, they would need at least 200 million dans of food. Moreover, Liu Qi went into the palace specially at night and had a detailed chat with him for two hour.

Liu Qi understood him, and said what he could understand.

Just saying that, take a look, it's snowing in the capital, the lake is frozen, and the roads are also frozen. We have to be careful when we travel. If it's a border town thousands of miles away, how will the food team get there?
But the border town is bitterly cold, there is no food at all, and the army rations have not arrived, so there is no need for the soldiers to attack, and their soldiers will starve to death, but it is okay to starve to death, what if there is a mutiny?
After the mutiny, opened the city gate?

No good woman can cook without rice, and no matter how powerful Zhen Guogong and Zhao Hao are, they can't suppress the soldiers who are dying of starvation.

Even if it is suppressed, aren't those soldiers who starved to death the subjects of your emperor?
Floods in the south did not kill 40 people.

When these words came out, the emperor was so frightened that he had a nightmare all night.

Listening to what Cai Xiang said now, it really sounded like what Zhao Hao and Liu Qi said.

The disgust in my heart suddenly came up.

He, an emperor who doesn't understand general affairs, understands the seriousness behind it. You, a prime minister who is in charge of important affairs of the court, don't understand?
"This." Cai Xiang choked for a moment, stepped forward and saluted, "We will try our best."

"What do you mean by trying your best? How much food can you send there?" The emperor frowned and said to the Minister of the Household Department.

"Well, I really don't know, the floods are so severe this year, food is needed everywhere, and the weather..."

Before the Minister of the Ministry of Households finished speaking, the emperor's face completely sank, and he said: "According to what you said, there is no food for the frontier army this year, so I just ask you, if the frontier army has no food, what can you do?" Soldiers starved to death, or all the consequences caused by it, can you bear it?"

When the emperor said this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned for a moment.

all consequences...

There were big drops of sweat on the head of Hubu Shangshu, and he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the military defense of the border city should be in charge of the town and others."

"If there is enough food and grass, Duke Zhen will be responsible." Duke Rong interjected coolly.

The emperor clapped his hands on the dragon chair, and said sharply: "Mr. Rong is right. The border defense is in charge of the border defense, but your household department is in charge of food and grass. You have already neglected the flood this year." Duty, if you cause trouble again, you don't have to be the secretary of the household department."

As he said, he scanned the courtiers below as fiercely as possible, and said: "Since you are living on the state's salary, you must do your job well. You said 120 million dan, then if the 120 million can't reach the border town, If this causes riots in the border town, you should think about the consequences for yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he snorted coldly at Cai Bing, stood up and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

Walking all the way to the apse, the body softened unconsciously.

Eunuch Ding on the side quickly supported him, and walked outside with half support.

The emperor let out a long breath, his hands were trembling a little, and he said in his heart, according to what Liu Qi said, if this anger continues, I hope it will have some effect.

Zhao Hao, I can only help here.

After the founding of the Song Dynasty, civil servants have been given preferential treatment. In matters of government affairs, they also pay great attention to the law and rationality. Unless it involves a major treason case, they generally follow the advice of the courtiers and will not embarrass the courtiers too much.

The current emperor has always been a good man, and rarely has his own opinions on state affairs.

Today, he suddenly said something like a rogue without asking why, which made the people in the court stunned.

Until the emperor walked away with a flick of his sleeves, his back was gone, and he hadn't recovered yet.

Yun Qinghong was the only one among them who was not frightened.

Looking at the back of the emperor going away, Yun Qinghong lowered his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

In his previous life, the emperor only showed such a royal air when it was related to Su Yue.

In this life, a little has changed.

It's a pity, the emperor's toughness, I'm afraid it will dissipate in the apse...

Isn't it up to Cai Xiang to do the specific things?

Even if something really happened, as long as Cai Xiang gave enough reasons, the emperor would not be able to really attack the courtiers.

He doesn't have the courage...

Zhao Hao, there is only so much that can help you.
