Chapter 304 I have my own rules and don't say much
Emperor Chongping closed the memorial, and for a while, he was a little hesitant.
"Forget it, there's only one battalion. After the Beijing battalion has been rectified, we can make further calculations."
Thinking in this way, he picked up a memorial, which was about Yangzhou's salt affairs, and called Dai Quan: "Go to the cabinet and call Mr. Yang Ge, and Mr. Han Ge will go to the side hall to discuss the matter."
Dai Quan bowed and went.
Not long after, Yang Guochang, a cabinet scholar, and Han Huang entered the hall and bowed their hands in salute.
Emperor Chongping said: "You two imperial envoys, where are you now?"
Half a month ago, Jia Heng stated that Lin Ruhai was assassinated by someone secretly. At that time, Emperor Chongping was busy rectifying the Beijing camp, so he assigned Yang and Han to the cabinet, and selected capable officials as imperial envoys to investigate the matter.
Of course, it's not that he doesn't pay attention to it. He secretly sent inner guards south to investigate the black hands behind the case.
Yang Guochang cupped his hands and said: "Return to the Holy Lord, Liang Yuan should have reached the territory of Henan at this moment."
Emperor Chongping frowned and said, "Liang Yuan?"
He remembers this person, but this person has no morals, and Pang De can be regarded as an official.
Yang Guochang explained: "Liang Shilang is proficient in the audit of property and goods, and he is the main one. He can detect the shortcomings of the salt business and make suggestions for the Yangzhou Salt Institute."
Emperor Chongping turned to look at Han Huang who was on the side, and asked, "Where is Han Qing?"
Han Huang replied: "My minister is afraid that there may be corruption here. Yu De, the imperial censor of Youqin, volunteered to go south to supervise the case. He should be in Henan now."
Emperor Chongping's face was indifferent, he pondered for a moment, thinking quickly in his mind.
A Qi Party, a Zhejiang Party, a third grade, and a fourth grade are all for the salt business.
Now the imperial court, the two parties of Qi and Zhejiang are vying to perform well because of the salt affairs. Of course, as long as the business is not delayed, he has no intention of obstructing each other.
"The top priority now is to rectify the Beijing camp. Without a single soldier who dares to fight to protect the capital, I can't sleep well at night." The coldness in Emperor Chongping's eyes flashed away. His eyes fell on Yang and Han.
"Yang Qing, it's been three months since the Beijing camp has been in arrears of payment. Now that Wang Ziteng has finished checking the vacancy, he can pay the arrears to the Ministry of War in advance to help him reorganize the army."
Emperor Chongping used the factory guards as his eyes and ears, and he was actually aware of some changes in the morale of the army, and this was the strategy Emperor Chongping came up with to appease Prince Teng.
Yang Guochang heard the words, and there was a bit of a smile on his old face, and he said: "The old minister allocated money to the Ministry of War early in the morning to cut down nearly 300 soldiers. This alone saved more than [-] million taels of silver for the court a year." , not to mention reducing combat power, Wang Jiedu envoy is really a national leader."
Emperor Chongping couldn't help feeling a little excited, and said: "Once the army is completed, next year we will vigorously rectify the local capitals and guards, and sweep away the accumulated evils!"
As for Nine Sides, why didn't you mention it?
As a result, the Nine Frontiers have deep roots, and they are responsible for guarding and guarding the frontiers.
Secondly, after Li Zan, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts, has taken over the northern border, there must be another adjustment and rectification, so there is no need to say more.
The second assistant of the cabinet, Han Huang, looked at the monarchs and ministers with mixed expressions of joy on their fair and elegant faces, with an indifferent expression, and shook his head secretly.
He doesn't know how to organize the army, but he understands personnel. Wang Ziteng is so radical, it seems that there is no good way to arrange the generals. These people really don't complain and cooperate honestly?
There is also the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, although the Holy Majesty has completely obtained the acquiescence of the Supreme Emperor of the Chonghua Palace.
Today's big man, if he doesn't reorganize his army and practice martial arts, he will be in danger of ruining his country.
But those nobles in the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies are really willing to let them go without a fight?
But the Son of Heaven is clearly in the mood at this time, and no one can guarantee that there will be troubles in this kind of thing. If the prince Tengfu has a good plan and everything goes smoothly, if he reminds him, wouldn't he be pretending to be smart?
In fact, Wang Ziteng still thought of a way to resettle him, but... he had no money.
For the placement of generals, not everyone will be paid two taels of silver, and the matter will be over. Do you want to pay the arrears?There is also the resettlement fee, which is a huge sum of money, in the millions.
At first, Wang Ziteng followed Jia Heng's example and plundered the general's property to accommodate soldiers, but he soon discovered that it was easier said than done, but it was an unrealistic fantasy.
The reason is that Wang Ziteng is unable to determine how much vacancy the army general has eaten up over the years, let alone recovering the deficit?
In addition, Wang Ziteng knew that Nan'an County King and other nobles from the five-army governor's mansion were involved, so as not to cause a rebound from the five-army commander-in-chief's mansion, he tacitly stopped pursuing him.
This is like saying "restraining large capital and equalizing land rights" when the situation is getting better, but suddenly it is not mentioned.
Because they were keenly aware of making too many enemies and too much resistance to doing things, they should concentrate on doing one thing well. The Han landlords worked together to overthrow the Manchu Qing monarchy and move towards a republic, and then talk about other things.
Just when the monarch and ministers were full of ambition, an inner eunuch from the outside entered the palace and said: "Your Majesty, Jia Yunhui handed over the sign and wants to see the Holy Majesty."
As soon as this remark came out, not only Emperor Chongping was surprised, but even Yang Han and the two of them also paused for a moment and kept guessing in their hearts.
Secretly thought, this favorite minister of the emperor, now he is no longer in the army, what is he doing in the palace at this time?
Emperor Chongping was surprised, he originally thought about calling Jia Heng later to discuss the Guoyong camp, but he didn't want to take the initiative to meet him.
"Show him in." Emperor Chongping said.
Not long after, a rather tall young man in the official robe of a second-rank military officer, led by the inner eunuch, entered the study room in the palace, cupped his hands and said: "My minister sees the Holy One, long live the Holy One, long live the Holy One."
"Zi Yu is here." A smile appeared on Emperor Chongping's face.
Seeing this, Yang and Han sighed in unison.
This is the emperor's favored ministers, such as Meng Yi of Emperor Qin, Huo Qubing of Han Wu, and Zhong Si of Tang Emperor, they are all favored and trusted, different from ordinary people.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "My minister has something to do, Mr. Chen Zuosheng."
Emperor Chongping was surprised when he heard the words, and asked, "What is this?"
Jia Heng said: "Just now, the generals and schools eliminated by the Beijing camp gathered in front of the military department, there are nearly a hundred of them."
Emperor Chongping looked calm, and asked: "There is trouble in the yamen of the Ministry of War? How is the situation now?"
In fact, in the past few days, he has also received letters from the inner guards reporting several disturbances in the yamen of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but these are also within his expectations.
"The Wucheng soldiers and horses led by the minister have sent soldiers to control the situation and persuade those generals to return." Jia Heng said with a serious face.
On the way before he entered the palace, Shen Yan sent someone to report quickly that the troublemakers in front of the military department's office had been dispersed, and the matter calmed down for the time being.
Emperor Chongping's face turned cold when he heard the words, and said: "Those generals who were eliminated are mediocre and unable to share the worries of the country. Now they are disarmed and still harbor resentment. Do I still expect them to go to the northern border to fight against the Eastern captives?" fight?"
When Jia Heng heard this, his expression was indifferent.
Emperor Chongping calmed down, and said: "If you encounter this matter again in the future, you will be severely punished and will not tolerate it."
Jia Heng said: "Your Majesty, there are as many as 2 generals and soldiers, and many of them live in Beijing. I am afraid that if this continues, the number of people will increase, and the city of Shenjing will become more and more unstable."
When Emperor Chongping heard the words, he paused.
Instead, Yang Guochang took up the conversation and said: "Jia Yunhui, you were ordered by the Holy Majesty to appoint soldiers and horses in the five cities, maintain order and stability in Beijing, and suppress the streets. If you plan to resolve it, how can you ask the Holy One for advice?"
Jia Heng stared closely at Yang Guochang with his bright eyes, and said loudly: "Mr. Yang Ge, although my subordinates have appointed five city soldiers and horses to manage the security of Shenjing City, they also supervise Guoyong's army. Now eleven In the regiment camp, the generals and soldiers were eliminated by the front line, and the morale of the army was turbulent. Naturally, they were worried. As for the disarmed soldiers in Shenjing City, the lower officials did not dare to shirk their responsibilities. For ordinary people, they were originally members of the army, and once they make trouble, it is no small matter."
He used a neutral word, making trouble, not making trouble.
Yang Guochang said in a dark voice: "I don't know anything about military affairs, but I know that my ministers should fulfill their responsibilities and fulfill their duties, so that the world can be peaceful. Since Jia Yunhui is in charge of the five cities' soldiers and horses, he can just work diligently and fulfill his duties."
Jia Heng frowned, this old man, is this endless?
This is clearly accusing him of interfering in everything.
Seeing the two arguing at this moment, Han Huang's eyes moved slightly, and he smoothed things over and said, "Your Majesty, I think that this matter still needs to be properly arranged by the imperial court to eliminate soldiers in the Beijing camp, and to understand the disarmed generals." , move with emotion."
These words are of course muddled.
Emperor Chongping nodded slightly, and ignored the confrontation between Jia Heng and Yang Guochang's words, and said: "Han Qing's words are not bad, we must not give up eating because of choking, and if we follow the strategy of the Beijing camp, we will only weed out [-] to [-] old and weak in the end." The army will not affect too much, Yang Qing, your household department should also think of ways to arrange it, and try not to make it cause trouble in Shenjing City."
At this moment, Emperor Chongping just thought that Jia Heng mentioned some soldiers and horses in the five cities, and the appearance of these eliminated generals and soldiers caused the unrest in Shenjing, so he made this statement.
"The old minister respectfully abides by the holy words." Yang Guochang's face did not change, but his heart was extremely annoyed.
The household department has no money, so how much money do you have to prepare for these eliminated generals?
They are rude, ignorant of righteousness, and gave money, saying that it is hard to fill their desires. Should they be arranged in the military department again, and then placed in the local capital and guards?
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he sighed softly in his heart, looked at Emperor Chongping calmly, and said slowly: "I obey the order."
The emperor's remarks were more like giving both parties a step up, and reminded him not to give up eating because of choking.
Of course, the holy family has not actually weakened, it can also be said to be loved.
So, he reminded it to this point.
To say too much is to pour cold water on the emperor's head.
Moreover, he just had a hunch that something would happen, and there was no conclusive evidence for the time being. It was more like a leaf knowing the autumn, and he saw some signs. In the eyes of the emperor, it was probably a turbulent wind and a panic.
This is different from the case of Lin Ruhai before, now it is a faint questioning of Wang Ziteng's military strategy.
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said: "If there is nothing else, I will leave."
What should be reminded has also been reminded, and the rest he can only secretly monitor the development of the situation, wait for the thunderstorm, and then take good care of himself, so as not to blow himself up.
Emperor Chongping was about to nod, when he suddenly remembered Wang Ziteng's previous memorial, and asked curiously: "I heard that Ziyu, you are also reorganizing the army recently, how are the training of the twelve recruit battalions? Are they worthy of a battle?"
Jia Heng's face paused, and he cupped his hands and said: "They have joined the army not long ago, they have just become familiar with the formation of the formation, and they still need to practice the army formation. I estimate that it will be at least the beginning of next year's spring before we can train a strong army for the Holy One."
Troop training cannot be accomplished overnight. Of course, after half a month of training, bows and knives may not work, but the new army under his command has shown its military appearance.
Not to mention anything else, with a little practice, you can walk in a column.
Emperor Chongping smiled, took a deep look at Jia Heng, and said in an encouraging tone: "You know what you know. When you are training soldiers, you have your own rules. I won't say much."
When Jia Heng heard the words, his heart paused, and he faintly felt that the words still had other intentions, "I have my own rules, and I don't talk too much", maybe this is beating him?
During the whirling of thoughts, he grasped the key point.
Wang Ziteng has done a good job during this period of time, I am afraid that the weight in the emperor's heart is getting heavier, and his alienation and indifference to Wang Ziteng since he returned to Beijing before, all of this must have fallen into the eyes of the emperor. Thinking of competing with Wang Ziteng?
After all, the delicate relationship between Jia and Wang's family may not be hidden from the emperor's cold eyes.
Jia Heng thought about this, but did not try to defend himself, with a calm face, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
That being the case, say more and make more mistakes, and just bury your head in doing things.
Emperor Chongping nodded and said with a smile: "I still have something to discuss with the two old elders, you can go back first."
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "The humble minister will leave."
As he said that, under the guidance of the inner eunuch, he slowly left the solemn and solemn Daming Palace.
Walking on the road between the palace and garden, he glanced back at Daming Palace.
Even if you know the emperor's heart is such that you won't listen to him, but still...
"Let's see."
Jia Heng's complexion returned to calm again, it was already noon at that time, he planned to go to Wucheng Bingma Division first, and ask about the situation of the generals in the Ministry of War who were making trouble.
Army of the Five Cities
In the official hall, people were crowded.
Xie Zaiyi, the commander of the East City, Shen Yan, the commander of the West City, Dong Qian, the deputy commander of the Zhongcheng City, and Fan Yi, the chief secretary, are all present.
Jia Heng asked: "Shen Yan, what happened to the group of people surrounding the military department? Did they come spontaneously, or were they instructed by someone behind the scenes?"
Shen Yan explained: "They are from the Yaowu camp, led by a guerrilla, and accompanied by two thousand households. It is said that Li Xun, the governor of the Yaowu camp, not only eliminated soldiers by the method of selecting fronts, but also threatened to check the vacancies over the years. Threatened some corrupt guerrilla generals, thousands of households, and hundreds of households, spit out the empty salary of greedy ink, otherwise they would be kicked out of the barracks, and they would have to be executed by military law. But these people got all the money, but Li Xun still drove them out of the barracks. They went to the Ministry of War to file a complaint."
Jia Heng frowned and said, "Why does Li Xun act like this?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity to rectify the Beijing camp, although it is for the legitimate purpose of recovering the deficit, it will not stand without trust. This move is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire on the already full of resentment.
Shen Yan said: "But because of the reason, the Ministry of War doesn't care about it, and even asks for the crime, but the Beijing camp has already said that this time the generals and schools are involved, and the past is not to be blamed, so the Ministry of War has given up. These guerrilla generals have thousands or hundreds of families for many years. He also ate a lot of vacancies, and now he was cheated into discounting the seller's money, and he was kicked out of the barracks, and when he was drinking, he vowed to give Li Xun a good look!"
After listening to Fang Ji's suggestion, Wang Ziteng still came up with some suggestions to reduce resistance. For example, after the school was eliminated from the Beijing camp, let the past go. The deterrence of the army is really a bit warm, and it tastes like a big stick in hand.
But the generals of the Beijing camp are easy to get along with. The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers, and some bribe Prince Teng and his confidantes, but the bribes are not all effective, because the Beijing camp will always be rectified, and whoever leaves will not leave?
But if Li Xun confiscated the general's property by deceit, it would be hated.
Jia Heng's eyes were deep, and he asked, "Are there many similar things in the Yaowu Camp?"
"Why not much? I heard that a general gave his daughter to Li Xun as a concubine, and gave him another 5000 taels of silver to keep it safe." Shen Yan subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the three A front-selecting envoy can make a lot of money..."
Wang Ziteng appointed a total of three forward selection agents-Li Xun, Yue Qing, and Yao Guang's three-person disarmament team.
Jia Heng's complexion gradually became silent, his eyes flashed coldly.
I'm afraid that the Yaowu camp is going to have an accident.
