Chapter 643 Anti-Intelligence
Using a can of Bihaichao in exchange for a just-right timing, plus standing in front of the opponent's best choice, and suddenly showing a kind of "hidden" wisdom, Yang Shu waited for a meeting that made him very satisfied. the result of.
Bai Changqing nodded in agreement, and if the power of money and grain tightening really fell on Yang Shu's head in the future, he would fully assist Yang Shu in advancing various money and grain tasks.
The implication is that he agrees to stand in line with Yang Shu, but the degree of closeness has to be seen step by step, and he will not directly devote himself to the past.
This is already a good result. Because Yang Shu is sure that he will soon get the power to tighten the money and grain strategy. The "weakness" for so many years will not change in the slightest because of "becoming rich". Yang Shu is well aware of the cognitive habits of the royal family.
Sure enough, on the night when Yang Shu and Bai Changqing's secret talks ended, he received an order from the palace, asking him to go to Wanmin Palace to attend government affairs tomorrow morning.
As soon as the order to attend the hearing arrived, it basically confirmed Yang Shu's previous guess.
The next day was the Great Court Meeting. Yang Shu arrived at the Wanmin Palace according to the time and stood in front of the civil and military queue.
The prince seldom had the opportunity to participate in the deliberations of the court. Generally speaking, the prince is either impeached and needs to come face to face to make some concessions or excuses; or there is a special arrangement that falls on the prince.
When today's civil and military officials see Yang Shu, they actually have a bottom line in their hearts. The "money and food tightening strategy" that was recently kept by the emperor is actually very urgent and intriguing. Many people privately speculated about the emperor's plan, and now Yang Shu has figured it out as soon as he came.
However, Yang Shu's title of "the shame of the royal family" is very famous, and everyone has been used to it for so many years. They just came to see Li, and no one expressed closeness to Yang Shu. On the one hand, he felt that the prince was "unreliable, it is better to have less contact", and on the other hand, the occasion was inappropriate, and it seemed a bit flattering to contact the prince under the watchful eyes of the public, which caused a bad reputation.
Yang Shu didn't say hello to anyone, and stood in front without saying a word. He was wearing court clothes, but he still looked like a fool. He didn't stand upright until the eunuchs chanted that the emperor arrived, and the surrounding civil and military officials shook their heads secretly.
Only Bai Changqing, who drank tea with Yang Shu yesterday, thought to himself: King Ling has indeed deceived almost everyone.
After the emperor took his seat, he received a big gift from the civil officials below, and then raised his hand to make everyone flatten. Afterwards, according to the procedure of the Great Court Conference, starting from the Ministry of War, report on recent affairs and raise new issues for discussion one by one. The Ministry of War said that it was only after the recent war in the south that it changed. In the past, the Ministry of War was the last to speak, which shows how fast the changes in the temple are.
It has been a while since Yang Yansi, Minister of the Ministry of War, who was a must-see at the Great Court Meeting, has not appeared for a while. The one who replaced Yang Yansi was Wen Mingju, the left servant of the Ministry of War. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty now know that Wen Mingju is the emperor's puppet, and Yang Yansi, although still bearing the title of minister of the Ministry of War, has actually been hung in the shade to dry. It should be that the last incident made the emperor hate Yang Yansi, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, and it was not easy to tear his face and hurt the hearts of the army, so he could only deal with it so coldly.
So now it looks like there are still six, but in fact it can only be counted as five. The Ministry of War has temporarily lost its relative independence.
After the Ministry of War finished speaking, they continued one by one. After the last six parts were finished, the emperor revealed the last and biggest thing of the day.
"In view of the busy affairs of the household department and the imminent tightening of money and food, the implementation of the nationwide money and food tightening strategy has been moved to the Lingwang Mansion, and the Lingwang will be responsible for the implementation."
As soon as the emperor's words fell, before Lingwang Yang Shu had time to get out to take orders, Ye Lansheng, who was standing in the front row beside him, came out first.
He cupped his hands and bowed, and then said: "Your Majesty! I think it is inappropriate to entrust such a heavy burden to the Ling King. Please take it back!"
The emperor was a little surprised, he really didn't expect Ye Lansheng to jump out and obstruct this matter. According to his previous thinking, the foxes in the court should be able to use these few days to figure it out, let alone a very smart person like Ye Lansheng. Can't you see that this is a balanced behavior before the "big exam" of the royal family? How dare you interfere?
Seeing the emperor frowning, Ye Lansheng continued to bow without any fear, "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness Ling Wang is smart, the matter of money and food shortages is of great importance, and it requires experience in all aspects to coordinate and connect, and it is difficult to get started in a short time. In addition, the military situation in the south is dangerous and urgent, so I think His Royal Highness King Ling is not suitable to take over such an important task at this time. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
This is Ye Lansheng's opening remark, and it can be regarded as a momentum. Then, before the emperor could speak, the ministers and ministers stood up and continued to advise. From ability to timing, and from experience to situation, each one was eloquent. Although there was no long speech, but It sounds really reasonable, after all, what qualifications does a "royal family" have to take on this important task?
One by one, they came out of the class to remonstrate, and after finishing speaking, they knelt down and did not go back to wait for the emperor's reply. Soon a large group of people knelt at the front of the hall, and it seemed that at least half of the civil servants came out of the class.
The corner of the emperor's mouth rose. He hadn't encountered such an interesting situation in a long time. Surprisingly, he thought about it again when he looked at Ye Lansheng who was kneeling at the front.
On the other hand, in the army, although Banlieli also whispered to each other, no one stood up to refute these rhetoric of the civil servants. Firstly, the "money and grain tightening strategy" belongs to government affairs rather than military affairs, so they have no reason to intervene. Secondly, King Ling's reputation is indeed not good, and it seems that he is very unreliable. Most people in the army also feel that it is inappropriate to hand over the power of money and food shortages to such a person. After all, this matter It also directly involves the military base in the south.
As the person involved, Yang Shu was very calm. He didn't look at the faces of other people in the hall, but just looked up at the emperor sitting upright above him.
How can the royal "big test" allow others to make irresponsible remarks?
How could the emperor's top priority, which had been planned for decades, be changed because of the opposition of a few ministers?
But Yang Jian didn't go back immediately, but raised his finger to Bai Changqing, who had been standing in the train and didn't come out, and said, "Bai Changqing, what does your household say? Can you cooperate with King Ling to complete this important task?"
The emperor wondered why Bai Changqing, who was supposed to be the leader of the Household Department, remained motionless today, so he called Bai Changqing's name, and he was looking forward to whether the Household Minister would say anything else.
"Return to Your Majesty. I proposed a strategy, and the specific direction is determined by Your Majesty. Regardless of what His Majesty decides, I will do my best to complete it."
Yang Jian's smile became stronger, he waved his hands, and his voice slapped a bit: "I'm asking you, can you or can't!"
"Sir, yes!"
