In the court, Xie Qian was determined to help Chen Xi fight for food and food, so he didn't care about openly sing a contradictory tune with Liu Jian and Li Dongyang.

Xie Qian suddenly stepped out: "Eunuch Xiao, don't you know that you can fight and raise war on the battlefield? Since the food of the people and the government should not be easily moved, you naturally have to obtain it from the rebels. What does Liu Shaofu mean?"

When Xie Qian said this, everyone knew that he was angry.

In the past few years, especially in the Northwest War, Xie Qian was responsible for all matters in the court, as if he was an uncrowned prime minister. Unexpectedly, the war began and the situation suddenly changed. Liu Jian and Li Dongyang squeezed their old friends out of the core decision-making level, and Xie Qian's previous efforts were in vain.

After Xie Qian said that, as Liu Jian's identity, he naturally would not argue with Xie Qian. However, Li Dongyang said seriously: "Isn't Xie Shangshu's words exactly what Chen Xi should do in the southwest now?"

Xie Qian was speaking slander, with a questioning tone, and his tone was very disapproving, but Li Dongyang took over the conversation and directly affirmed it, as if Xie Qian was standing by his side.

Xie Qian was furious and widened his eyes, saying that he wanted to fight Li Dongyang to the end. Xiao Jing quickly stood up and smoothed out, saying:

"Why do you want to have this meaningless dispute? Your Majesty also wants to bring you to discuss the issue of food to suppress the rebels? If there is no food, this battle will really not be maintained. What do you think?"

Ma Wensheng, Minister of Personnel, smiled and said, "Eunuch Xiao is saying very well!"

Zhu Houzhao was not very satisfied with it, as if he was completely ignored. His voice was a little louder: "I know that there is no food, and the court cannot find a way to do it. It is really heartbreaking to just speak in vernacular terms. Chen Qing's family has already worked hard for the country in the southwest. Do you have to solve the most basic food and grass on your own? Then the court simply ignores everything and divides the land to the ministers below!"

What Zhu Houzhao said before was pretty pertinent and came to the point, but when it came to the bottom of the story, he was a little bold and reckless.

Xiao Jing quickly reminded: "Your Highness, you...you should be careful with your words!"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "What are you saying? What I am saying is not the truth? You don't care about this or that. It seems that the southwest is not the land of the Ming Dynasty. Have you ever thought about whether the rebels destroy cities and villages and the country is lost, is it the responsibility of the Chen Qing family or the responsibility of everyone present?"

Liu Jian looked at the prince coldly: "As a minister, serving the country is the duty. If there is any mistake, the generals who command the troops in front will naturally be responsible!"

Liu Jian expressed his position that money and food will not be allocated to Chen Xi, but if there is any problem in the war in the southwest, it is Chen Xi's responsibility!

We don’t care about anything, and Shen Xi will take on the front line. No matter how he completes the important task entrusted by the court, he can win the war in the end.

Zhu Houzhao had the intention to bite people. Just as he was about to argue with Liu Jian, Zhu Youzhang suddenly shouted: "Stop talking!"

In one sentence, the bedroom was quieted instantly.

No matter how fierce the ministers and the prince quarreled, they could not make any decisions. The final decision was on the emperor. The emperor would assign the transfer, and if he said he would not assign, he would not assign. The emperor was always sick and now summoned the ministers, but the ministers argued with the prince, which was very disrespectful to the emperor.

Xiao Jing originally wanted to express a few words of comfort, but when he heard the emperor's words, he quickly saluted: "Your Majesty, what are your instructions? Don't be too anxious..."

Zhu Youzhang coughed for a long time, then looked up at the ministers present and said, "The war in the southwest has lasted for several months. The land is vast and sparse, and the barbarians and rebels are mixed and scattered. It is not a matter of one night to let anyone go to pacify. Now Chen Qing's family is in front of me to suppress the rebellion. If I ignore it, it is unrighteous to my ministers!"

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't say that..."

Zhu Youzhang raised his hand to interrupt Liu Jian: "You may not think so, but I am not. It is true that the treasury in the central government is now in short supply, and the northwest costs 70% of the cost. However, the southwest turmoil should be quelled as soon as possible, and it will change in the long run."

"You are all important officials of my Ming Dynasty. How can you hurt peace for national affairs? Your responsibility is to maintain the stability of the court. I am not in good health now, and I have to rely on many court affairs..."

The emperor said that he was sick. According to the truth, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others should be tactful and should not argue with him and the prince in the court, otherwise it would be unfaithful and unrighteous.

Zhu Youzhang expressed his attitude that the cities and Great Wall in the Sanbian and Xuanda area should be repaired, and the war in the southwest cannot be ignored. The emperor did not want to put himself in an unjust position and did not care about anything after sending his ministers out. This is a contempt for national affairs and an irresponsible manifestation.

When Xie Qian heard that the emperor was interested in allocating money, grain and supplies, he quickly reported: "Your Majesty, I don't know what to do with the difficulties in the southwest?"

Zhu Youzhang suddenly sighed: "I want to allocate money and grain to Chen Qing's family so that he can successfully quell the rebellion in front of him, but now the Ministry of Revenue has shortage of grain, so it is really difficult to allocate it. If he can collect it on his own local level, it may be the best choice..."

After all, Zhu Youzhang also disagreed with allocating money and grain from the court to Chen Xi and asked Chen Xi to collect it on his own, but he still wanted to return the problem to Chen Xi.

Xie Qian was disappointed when he heard this. He thought that the emperor would naturally take action if he compassionate the suffering of his ministers. But who would have thought that the emperor would just say a few nice words, and immediately turned to support Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, proposing a resolution not to give money and food, and let Chen Xi prepare on his own.

Xie Qian said to Zhu Youzhe with bitter face: "Your Majesty, there are old grains in some warehouses in the southwest areas now. Why can't we allocate them to Shen Zhongcheng so that he can have sufficient military rations to quell the rebellion?"

Li Dongyang took out his attitude of serving the country and the people and sighed: "Shangshu Xie may not know that in the war in the northwest of the first year, the southwest provinces all collected money and grain in advance. In the next few years, the southwest local dispatch will only rely on this batch of grain. If it is used today, the local government will not be able to withstand any disaster in the future, but what is the difference? Wouldn't the court not even have any room for space?"

Xie Qian wanted to curse.

I was afraid that there would be any changes in the local area, so I had to keep the money and grain for emergencies. What is this bullshit logic? Oh, then there may be changes in the future, and I have to keep the money and grain. Now that the rebels are in power, they cannot adjust the grain in the warehouse? Now that rebellion is spreading, all provinces and provinces are surrounded, this is not a change, what does it mean?

Ma Wensheng left the list: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that since there is a treasury of grain in the southwest, the imperial court will not recruit any rebellion when encountering a rebellion. If the frontline generals know about it, I am afraid there will be grudges?"

Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but frown and saw who helped him come forward to take the call.

Now it is the Minister of Personnel who speaks. With Ma Wensheng's reputation in the court, he stands out to help, and the other party must find someone with a similar identity and status to refute it. Even Li Dongyang is not easy to say anything.

Sure enough, the chief assistant Liu Jian fought: "The grain in the southwest warehouse is already a handful of food, which is not enough to bear the wartime consumption. If all warehouses in the southwest have allocated grain, the food will be transported to Lingui, and it will be robbed by the rebels..."

Liu Daxia said: "Young Master Liu's words are reasonable, but if Shen Hanlin is in the local area, he will walk and open another place, and requisition food and grass on the spot, wouldn't it be appropriate?"

"Um!?"

Liu Jian didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Before, Xie Qian felt that he was fighting alone and no one was talking to him, which meant that he was alone in the court, and even the emperor was not on his side.

But after Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia suddenly spoke, the situation improved a lot. The key is that the two knew a lot about military affairs. Their words were even more convincing, and even left Liu Jian, who was not good at military affairs, had nothing to say.

Li Dongyang's mind was quick: "It is really inappropriate to requisition food and grass on the spot... In this way, the troops and horses will chase the grain, and the local area will have food but the food is flat, and there is no food but it will surround it. How can the officials and the people bear it? The reputation of the court will definitely not exist. Liu Shangshu would think more and say it again..."

When Ma Wensheng spoke, Li Dongyang came out to refute it inappropriately, but Liu Daxia spoke and Li Dongyang could face tit-for-tat, which is identity equivalence.

Li Dongyang's words also made some sense, which made Liu Daxia unable to argue. Indeed, if Chen Xi opened a warehouse to collect grain on the local level, it would inevitably lead to a result, that is, the suppression of rebels only carries out places with grain, and the unavailable places, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

There are two major factions in the court, and they are stalemate between each other and more prestigious people must come out and make a final decision.

This person can only be Zhu Youting.

Zhu Youzhi said: "Your family does not need to argue. In my opinion, it is too late to talk about transferring grain when the war in the southwest has reached its current level. It is better to pass on a letter to Chen Qing family and give the right to collect money and grain on the spot... Although it cannot be obtained from the treasury and the people, it may be able to provide food for gentry, or to support the war when fighting the rebellion, and the court does not interfere. What do you think?"

After speaking, the ministers present clearly heard that Zhu Youzhang still tended to what Liu Jian and Li Dongyang said.
