"Disaster relief is a large sum." Xie Hui said the first sentence, and the rest of the people were quiet.
"The imperial court alone cannot allocate funds to save the lives of 700,000 people." Xie Hui said slowly again: "This minister thinks that the government's views are reasonable and well-founded. But your majesty must not forget that when you open a warehouse for disaster relief, the money will be returned. To land on the body of the Jiangnan nobility."
After Xie Hui finished saying this, he stopped talking, Li Yan took a step forward and said, "The two ministers, the imperial censor, and the Hanlin Academy have drawn up a new law for His Majesty. If it is blocked, why not set a two-year limit, wait until the current crisis is overcome, and then prepare another official document, how about it?"
Li Yan took a compromise method, but no one agreed. After all, he knew in his heart that the fields that the gentry were all taken out could not be recovered in a few years. How can you take back what is given to a person
Tang Yu just insisted: "If your majesty does not need to open positions in various places for disaster relief, the minister will naturally have nothing to say, but just like this, it will inevitably add to the chaos. If the new law is implemented, the chaos of the refugees will not be stopped, and the follow-up situation will be worrying. ."
"Why can't it stop?" You Miao asked back, "Li Zhifeng has already enlisted his entire army in Jiangzhou, and as soon as His Majesty's decree arrives, he will be able to recover the whole of Jiangzhou."
Lin Zhengtao sneered and said, "General Li's soldiers can fight the Hu people, but they can stay in the territory. I'm afraid that they will not be soft-hearted towards the common people."
You Miao said indifferently: "Everyone, let's see how Li Zhifeng handles it. Since ancient times, there has been a conclusion that General Li has not sacrificed his life for the country. It is a bit premature to judge him now."
Lin Zhengtao said with a smile: "Master You used a face to block the courtship with Mr. Hao, but now he is not ashamed."
"Your Majesty." Lin Zhengtao took a step forward and refused to give in at all: "Li Zhifeng has an impeachment in his body, but he went to the army to pacify the chaos. I don't know what the rules are? Did His Majesty confer a pardon, or do you think that the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yangzhou Prefecture are the ten The two memorials are both rumors and troubles? If you are pardoning General Huwei, you must issue an edict. If you think that the memorials are rumors, you must send someone to investigate, arrest the rumor makers, and punish them for the crime. These cases have not yet been closed, and General Huwei also Going to go out on an expedition would be too disrespectful to the imperial court."
Pingxi opened his mouth and said, "Lord Lin, the turmoil in various places cannot be delayed. At this time, you still have to put Li Zhifeng in the prison for a trial first? Are you planning to go to the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? General Nie is still guarding the front line, who can the DPRK send to the army? Could it be that Master Lin wants to go in person?"
Lin Zhengtao said angrily: "This is a matter of the Ministry of War, what does it have to do with the Censor Office? The Ministry of War has no generals to send, and I don't want to regret it..."
"Enough!" Zhao Chao said angrily.
You Miao Xindao, it seems that one or two of you are determined to consume me, then everyone will talk nonsense at the court, and it will be dark. If you don't give in a step, don't let anyone go.
"The matter of reform." You Miao said, "I wonder if you all have any opinions?"
Tang Yu snorted coldly: "What I wanted to say, I said it clearly three months ago, and if I say it again now, it's just a waste of time."
Lin Zhengtao said: "If the political affairs hall is determined to reform the law, it must also be concerned about the public opinion in various places. Otherwise, the reform will not be pushed forward, and disaster will occur first."
"Public opinion?" You Miao asked, "700,000 homeless refugees, 500,000 people from the north who fled south, and 200,000 local tenants in Yangzhou. This is not public opinion. Who is it?"
Tang Yu sneered: "Of course, Sun Canzhi and You Miao understand the public opinion the most." Said Bi Wei handing over, actually disdain for arguing with You Miao.
The Minister of Works said: "Your Majesty, this matter takes a long time, and it takes a long time to move the whole body. If we want to implement the new law, it will take three years, the water can't be dissolved in the distance, and the situation is easy to change. At this moment, people's livelihood and the front line, It is closely related to the record in the Central Plains, and it changes in a day, and I hope Your Majesty think twice, don’t get involved in chaos.”
Lin Zhengtao said: "Your Majesty, at this moment, we should focus on striving for stability. The new law involves too much, and it is really not appropriate to implement it at this time."
Xie Hui pondered for a while, and then said again: "It's better to wait until the spring of next year, and then look at the situation, what do you think? After the spring, the land needs to be cultivated, and the grain and seeds need to be allocated. It only takes time, this matter will be solved. self resolved."
You Miao frowned deeply, wanting to refute. Zhao Chao gestured to You Miao with his eyes, and that's all he needs to say.
After three hours of debate in the early morning, it was already past noon, and the courtiers couldn't stand it, but You Miao shook his head slowly, thinking that it was not enough. Now Zhao Chaoruo said "I have made up my mind, I don't need to say more." Although it can suppress everyone and insist on reforming, this is not what Tang, Lin, Xie and others want.
They are the representatives of the major aristocratic clans in the court. If these people don't nod their heads, the Jiangnan gentry will definitely not agree. Forcing the new law will make the locals hold resentment and try to obstruct them. The new law is only possible if the officials in the DPRK are forced to nod.
"This matter has been postponed for later discussion." Zhao Chao said: "When General Li returns from the expedition, we will see how the subsequent battles are and retreat."
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief and stood for three full hours, all of them were exhausted and almost collapsed. As soon as Zhao Chao left, the ministers dispersed.
Li Yan came from behind, You Miao was furious and said, "Damn, I'm so pissed off."
Li Yan also had nothing to do, and said, "I can't help you."
"I know." You Miao nodded, but he didn't blame himself for fighting alone. After all, this was something even Sun Yu couldn't solve. The six ministers were all in the imperial court today, but no one had a position to speak for him. Lin Luoyang was in charge of the personnel department, and Ping Xi was in charge of the military department. Although Qin Shaonan was in the Ministry of Housing, Xie Hui's official position was greater than his, and he couldn't speak more than his boss.
Li Yan was married to the Tang family, and the Hanlin Academy only drafted the articles of association, and had no right to intervene in matters of resolution.
In this way, only You Miao is left. At first, it was thought that the Beiren lineage took up most of the six divisions, but now it has been implemented. Seeing that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households are all controlled by the gentry, and the censorship platform is in the hands of the Lin family, Fang Zhi has a headache.
Lin Luoyang comforted: "Don't be too competitive, go back and rest first."
You Miao nodded, but he didn't eat breakfast. He was already weak, so he had to rush back to the political affairs hall to have breakfast. However, everyone was still discussing, and Xie Jiajia Ding came to invite him outside the Meridian Gate.
"Lord You." The Ding said, "My Master Shangshu wants to come over and talk to you."
You Miao's heart moved, and everyone's expressions were tacit, You Miao knew that Xie Hui was coming to see him because he was close to Zhao Chao and did his best. But in terms of official position, You Miao is only a 6th rank servant, far below Xie Hui, the 2nd rank official book, so don't mess with the etiquette, and hurriedly said: "I'll go right now."
After You Miao had discussed with Li Yan and others, they went outside the palace alone, got into Xie Hui's carriage, and said, "Thank you, Lord."
Xie Hui was in the car. This man was old and gentle, and when he saw You Miao, there was a smile in his eyes and he nodded.
You Miao's identity is very sensitive in the court. Although his official position is very low, no one dares to belittle him. After all, the pattern of the new dynasty has been roughly determined. In terms of military affairs, Nie Dan refused to go outside, Li Zhifeng stayed inside, and You Miao was the representative of the two major military factions in the court.
And two of the six ministers were friends with You Miao, and they were even more red and purple in front of the emperor. The Zhengshitang is Sun Yu's territory, and now no one can tell whether this young man will become a first-rank official in the future, so he does not want to offend him.
