Emperor Hongzhi went to the Ministry of War anxiously.
As soon as he got out of the car, his old face turned red.
There are so many people here.
He originally wanted to deal with it in a low-key manner, but now it seems...
Fang Jifan looked very well-behaved, he got out of the back car first, saw that Xiao Jing was about to open the door for Emperor Hongzhi, squeezed his body, knocked Xiao Jing and staggered, and then opened the door for Emperor Hongzhi himself, with a natural expression on his face Smile, this smile is like a little white rabbit, docile and harmless.
Emperor Hongzhi got out of the car.
Hearing that His Majesty has arrived, the ministers in this courtyard came to pick him up one after another.
Emperor Hongzhi ignored it, took the lead, and walked quickly into the hall.
Fang Jifan trotted after him. He wanted to lose his head, but he couldn't figure out why he ordered the emperor's grandson to trouble the Ministry of War.
There's nothing you can do, you're stupid, it's up to you!
Except for this explanation, other explanations are not reasonable.
After entering the hall, Zhu Zaimo had already stood up, and the other teenagers were all at a loss.
Apparently they have also heard the news of His Majesty's arrival.
Ma Wensheng was quite calm. After all, he was not the one who was beaten. He calmed down and bowed to Emperor Hongzhi: "I have seen Your Majesty."
The servant Zhang Hai, with an aggrieved look on his face, also bowed down.
The one lying on the ground whimpering and humming was He Jing, the member of the military department who had been beaten the hardest. Seeing that the Holy Master had arrived, He Jing didn't dare to lie on the ground. Ouch, Ouch! He turned over and hissed: " Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands, and he stood still, staring at Zhu Zaimo.
Zhu Zaimo wanted to salute Emperor Hongzhi, but Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Don't be too polite, what are you doing?"
Zhu Zaimo said: "Yes, Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi ignored Zhu Zaimo's words, but said indifferently: "Come here, fetch me a chair."
Xiao Jing hurriedly took a chair, and Emperor Hongzhi sat down by himself, but his eyes still fell on Zhu Zaimo.
He smiled: "I am right here, watching from the sidelines."
This means, if you make trouble, I will watch you make trouble.
Fang Jifan was beside him, and raised his thumbs up: "Your Majesty is truly a wise man, he knows everything..."
Emperor Hongzhi ignored Fang Jifan's words.
Fang Jifan was a little embarrassed, he couldn't help but glared at Zhu Zaimo.
Seeing this, Zhu Zaimo still calmed down and said, "Okay."
The answer was very straightforward, as expected, he is the emperor's grandson who loves whoever he loves.
He actually sat down and ignored Emperor Hongzhi: "Have you figured it out?"
"I've figured it out!" A young man stood up and said, "Among these account books, the latest money and food distributed to the 12th Regiment was 1,967 taels of silver, and 13,700 taels of grain... Fifty-four tans, the amount is clear and clear, but this is the money and grain distributed three months ago."
Zhu Zaimo nodded: "Very well, there are more than 13,000 people in the regiment camp. Although this number is small, it is barely enough to make people hungry. Then, check again, it is just a little money and money. Money and food, why are you still in arrears later?"
The young man said: "It is said that the money and food are exhausted, not only the twelve regiment battalion, but also other camps such as the Xiaoqi battalion, the three thousand battalion, and the fifth army battalion."
Zhu Zaimo smiled: "Really? In this way, our military department of Ming Dynasty is a clever woman who can't cook without rice."
The young man nodded: "On the books, it is true that the money and food have run out."
Zhu Zaimo took the notebook, lowered his head and continued to read.
Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, thought about what to say... But He Jing said, "There is only so much money and food, how can we not owe it on credit? Now it is not only the Ministry of War that is in trouble, but the court is also in trouble. We have to let the soldiers share the worries of the court on their behalf. Why, Your Highness?" It's unreasonable... to treat a subordinate..."
At this point, he wanted to cry again.
It's just a beating for no reason. Is this justified?
Zhu Zaimo said with a smile: "Yes, to share the worries of the court..."
He suddenly sharpened his eyes, and suddenly threw the account book on the ground: "But... let me ask you, is the monthly loss of the arsenal so huge? You see, the arsenal alone costs 97,000 yuan a month. Two, they feed 19,000 people, and they eat as much as 230,000 dans of grain every month."
He Jing asked Ai Ai periodically: "This... this... this is custom-made. The arsenal needs maintenance. There are so many swords, guns, swords and halberds in it. If no one maintains them, they will decay..."
Zhu Zaimo smiled: "Really? Zhengqing!"
After Fang Zhengqing heard this, he seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he winked at the young men, but saw someone carrying some weapons, and with a bang, the rusty weapons fell to the ground, and there was a Mo Dao, perhaps It was so rusty that it broke...
He Jing looked back at those weapons, her face darkened.
Zhu Zaimo said angrily: "Look, these are the weapons I ordered people to take from the arsenal. The weapons are maintained by 19,000 military officials. Now look, are they rotten?"
"This..." He Jing hurriedly said: "This is obviously a military officer in the arsenal... who has neglected his duty, and must be thoroughly investigated... Thoroughly investigated..."
Emperor Hongzhi was originally sitting angrily, but at this moment, his expression became meaningful.
He got up, squatted down, and picked up the broken Mo Dao. On the broken section, the rust had almost eroded to Mo Dao.
The inside of the knife.
Fang Jifan probably understood something. All of a sudden, he felt reassured. Although he still doesn't know what Zhu Zaimo is up to, at least...it doesn't look like a fool.
After all... he is a disciple taught by Fang Jifan.
Zhu Zaimo laughed again: "There is so much money and food, so many people are supported, and the maintenance of weapons is like this. Is this just an ordinary military official's dereliction of duty? But... when it is time to allocate money and food to the soldiers, the money and food are the same. Nope, the Twelfth Regiment Battalion is still the elite of the capital camp, defending the capital, and has a heavy responsibility, but even they...have owed their salary for three months, haha... three months, no money and food, and they still have to pay Be considerate of the court’s difficulties, and share their worries for the court. Let me ask you, does the court have any credit for your salary?”
"This..." He Jing said: "Your Majesty is sympathetic to your subjects, and there is no credit?"
"Then let me ask you again, what about the ice and carbon gifts for you? Those who gave you the ice and carbon gifts, have they ever defaulted?"
As soon as He Jing heard Bing Jing and Tan Jing, He Jing's face immediately collapsed. The so-called Bing Jing and Tan Jing are actually more elegant terms, and the ugly ones are bribes.
It's just that this kind of bribery has already formed a rule. There are unwritten rules about what kind of official, how much to give, and when to give.
He Jing quickly denied it: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I don't know what His Highness said!"
Emperor Hongzhi sat aside, his eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes became more meaningful.
"Don't you know what I'm talking about?" Zhu Zaimo said sternly, "Do you want me to tie up those who gave you Bing Jing and Tan Jing here and confront you face to face?"
"This..." He Jing asked Ai Ai.
Zhu Zaimo said: "For example, Commander Weihaiwei sent you every year..."
He Jing's face was miserable, and his heart skipped a beat, why does this little ancestor know everything.
He hurriedly kowtowed: "His Royal Highness, this is just a small thought...a human relationship."
"That's right." Zhu Zaimo said: "The favors they send you are not short of a penny, and you can't delay even a moment. But I am in the 12th Regiment Battalion, and this is the Beijing Battalion, the salary of the Beijing Battalion, Even if you can pay on credit for three months, if the imperial court doesn’t give you three months’ salary, and the people below, if Bing Jing and Tan Jing delay you for three months, what will you do?”
"this……"
"This is the money and grain for them to support their families. If no one has food for three months, how can they make a living? Do you know that many soldiers really can't afford food, and they have to borrow money from others? You know I don’t know, the interest on loans is frighteningly high. Once you take out a loan, you will be owed people money and food for the rest of your life. More and more, like a snowball, the children and grandchildren will not be enough. Just like that, you still count on them , defending the capital, protecting people like you?"
He Jing was already dripping with sweat.
Originally, these were unwritten rules.
Who knew that today... the emperor's grandson would tear off this fig leaf so ruthlessly.
In fact, these things have happened a long time ago, but the high officials in the palace may not understand the truth, even if they have heard about it, they think it is just a trivial matter.
And these rules can be said to be very popular, from top to bottom, who doesn't know?
A trace of shock flashed across Emperor Hongzhi's eyes.
He knew some of these things, but he didn't expect it to reach such a point.
He Jing had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, it's not a day's cold..."
This is no move.
Saying this sentence can be regarded as He Jing's level.
This is He Jing's defense for herself, it has nothing to do with her, and it's not just me who does it, everyone does it, and both the ex and the ex-ex.
Zhu Zaimo said: "It's three feet frozen. It's not a day's cold. This is the real chilling place. You know, in the three years of Zhengtong, when the imperial court checked the military households, it was found that there were many officers and soldiers who fled. One, six hundred and thirty-three thousand, six hundred and sixty-four people. This was decades ago, how many escaped now, don’t you know? Why would they rather flee than be soldiers? Isn’t this what you call Isn’t freezing three feet cold in a day? Year after year, day after day, you read the books of sages and sages, and talked about the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. Is it like this, serving the court? Asking about this matter, from top to bottom, everyone is silent, this is your frozen three feet, it is not a day's cold."
He opened his eyes.
He said angrily: "But... this matter, others don't care about it, I will take care of it, come, call the people from the 12th Regiment Battalion!"
The 12th Regiment Battalion is called...
He Jing's pupils contracted.
This... this... without the announcement of the court, officers and soldiers are not allowed to leave their posts without authorization, how can they call it as they say.
The emperor's grandson... Why is this not playing cards according to the rules at all?
