Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 460

[Chapter 460]

“Miss Jieyu, the emperor still went to Yanxi Palace tonight.”

A palace servant walked up to Wang Jieyu quietly and reported in a low voice.

Wang Jieyu was not surprised, she nodded slightly: “Got it.”

This palace servant was Wang Jieyu’s personal maid, and she was considered loyal.

After hesitating for a moment, he whispered softly: “Ms. Niang, this slave has the courage to say a few words from the heart.”

“Niang Niang has given birth to a little princess, and she can be counted on in the palace. Empress and Concubine Meng fight, why should Niang be involved? With the emperor’s care for the empress, why worry about the saints.”

If it wasn’t for Empress Qiao, Emperor Yongjia would be here tonight.

Wang Jieyu frowned slightly and glanced at the palace servant: “Shut up! The Empress has a great favor to me. Without the Empress, I would not be where I am today. You are not allowed to talk about this in the future.”

Wang Jieyu has a gentle temperament , it is rare to be so fierce as this time.

The palace servant was startled, and immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Wang Jieyu said with a sullen face: “You go to kneel outside the door for an hour and have a good self-examination. No matter how much you talk, don’t blame me for not being able to tolerate you.” The

palace servant went out and knelt with shame.

Wang Jieyu slowly exhaled.

This palace man is too short-sighted.

Not to mention Queen Qiao’s support and kindness to her, as far as the matter is concerned, the embarrassment between the emperor and the queen is temporary.

Queen Qiao is virtuous and generous, the crown prince has won the support of the courtiers, the crown prince is fierce, and the foundation of the lineage of the Eastern Palace is like a rock, unshakable.

Concubine Meng is a grasshopper in the autumn, and can’t jump very high.

Not at all the opponent of Queen Joe’s mother and son.

For herself and for the little princess, she had to stand firm on Queen Qiao’s side.

Be an obedient pawn.

…

The waves in the palace are surging, and the courtroom does not stop.

The Great Wei established the country with martial arts, and the most important military merit was.

After a big victory, it is the righteousness to reward the generals.

However, in this battle against Yan and Chu, there were too many generals who made outstanding military achievements.

There were no less than twenty generals who died in battle and returned with their bodies wrapped in horse leather.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers who were killed and wounded should be comforted, and those who returned safely should be rewarded generously…

All of them should be rewarded generously, and

money should be spent everywhere.

That adds up to a huge and scary number.

After a brief estimate, the noble book of the household department knelt down on the spot: “The minister is incompetent, the household department simply cannot afford such a huge amount of pensions and rewards. Please take off the minister’s black gauze cap! Select another talented person to take on this important task. ”

After more than two years of fighting, the treasury has been emptied.

When the army returned to the dynasty, they brought with them a lot of gold and silver captured from the two countries of Yan and Chu.

However, compared to the terrible military merit book, those gold and silver are nothing.

Even if he were to kill him now, he wouldn’t be able to make so much money.

Emperor Yongjia was not angry either, so he gently comforted him: “Don’t kneel on the high book. Fighting consumes money and food. For more than two years, the households have made great efforts to raise money and food for the army and supply the army to fight. Everyone in the household is hard, and I know that. Now that there is not enough money in the treasury, I know it. I can’t blame you.” Hearing this,

Gao Shangshu’s heart was sour, his eyes were red, and he burst into tears on the spot.

The Ministry of Accounts is really not a job done by humans.

In charge of Dawei’s taxation and financial power, doesn’t it sound particularly majestic?

Is it possible to have a million family fortune if you let go?

Maybe that was the case in the past.

But in the Great Wei Dynasty, as the Minister of Accounts, there was only the word hard work.

Over the years, Emperor Yongjia has never stopped fighting in the east and west.

The money in the Ministry of Accounts was flowing like a stream to the Ministry of War, and it was never enough.

Back then, he was also a handsome man with black hair like clouds.

Now her face is wrinkled and her hair is falling out.

They are all worried about silver!

Gao Shangshu stood up tremblingly and thanked him: “I would like to thank the emperor for being sympathetic.”

Emperor Yongjia changed the subject and said again: “However, no matter how difficult it is, he has to think of something. Military merit must be rewarded, and soldiers who died in battle must not be ignored.”

Noble Shuxin was even more bitter than Huang Lian, so he had to respond: “I must do my best.”

Old Qiao Ge frowned and said slowly: “The old minister is bold and says something the emperor doesn’t like to hear. The treasury is empty, and noble books can’t make money out of thin air.”

“The minister thought that military merit must be rewarded, but it can be divided into two parts. Prioritize. For soldiers who died in battle, the first is to send pension money to Anjia.”

Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of War took over the words: “What Qiao Ge said is very true. Pension money must not be saved. As for soldiers who have made military exploits, they can be rewarded with official positions and silver. Hold it off and wait until next year. Or directly reward the military meritorious land.”

This is a solution.

Emperor Yongjia nodded approvingly: “This matter is feasible.”

So, for the next few days, the ministers in the cabinet were busy again, and after a few days of deliberation, they finally settled on the details of the reward.

Ordinary generals can be promoted and given fields.

But when they arrived at Xingyang Wang Guangping Hou Puyang Hou and Liang Da General, they had made too much credit, and their official positions had reached their peak, and there was no more reward.

If the field is rewarded according to military merit, I am afraid that several counties will be rewarded.

There is no doubt that it is absolutely impossible to divide the territory.

How should you be rewarded?

Emperor Yongjia also began to have a headache.

At this time, King Lu of Xingyang presented a memorial to solve the dilemma of the court.

King Xingyang made a generous speech in the memorial, showing his loyalty to the emperor, and voluntarily giving up the military reward.

Emperor Yongjia read the memorial, and even said three good words, and praised King Xingyang as the pillar of the humerus of the Great Wei Dynasty at the great court meeting.

The civil servants also repeatedly praised the righteousness of King Xingyang, and repeatedly praised the Crown Princess Lu Mingyu, who acted wisely and decisively, and made great contributions to the state.

Such a prince concubine should raise thousands of personal soldiers, too!

King Xingyang’s statement was followed by the Hou of Guangping and the Hou of Puyang, who also rejected the court’s reward.

The Yongjia Emperor was very relieved, and he decreed to praise the king of Xingyang and the other three.

General Liang was more direct, and went to meet the emperor in private: “How much money is still missing from the emperor? The last general will take out all the money in the family and send it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.”

Emperor Yongjia laughed: “You defended the capital and defeated the Yan soldiers. I haven’t rewarded you yet, so how can I ask for your money. Besides, the amount of pension money is huge, what use is your family wealth enough? Let’s keep the children and grandchildren!”

General Liang was about to say more, and Emperor Yongjia had already waved his hand: “I’m still busy reading the memorial, don’t disturb me here, and retire quickly!

” Individuals have pushed rewards, greatly reducing the pressure on the court.

Emperor Yongjia ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take out all the silver from the internal inventory, but it was still not enough.

Queen Qiao took the initiative to donate her private treasury, followed by Crown Princess Lu Mingyu, who also used all the deposits in the East Palace, and took out her own private house money and sent it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Queen Qiao has been a queen for many years and has a rich private bank.

The wealth of Lu Mingyu’s dowry is even more unparalleled.

Their move immediately relieved the embarrassment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs having no silver available.

Emperor Yongjia couldn’t help but accept this favor, and finally stepped into the Jiaofang Hall.
