Two hundred and thirtieth chapters early citron
"Don't argue. I need you to come up with good solutions, not to ask questions but be helpless. If you only ask questions, what's the point of using you?!"
The ministers' strategies to increase revenue and reduce expenditure are not in line with Zhu Youlang's wishes.
Because of the huge expenses, these policies cannot solve major problems.
He was frustrated by the arguing between Chen Zizhuang and Yang Qiaoran again, so he stopped the quarrel between them.
When he heard the emperor's tone was not kind, Chen Zizhuang and Yang Qiaoran obediently stopped.
"But first, you haven't spoken. Let's talk. What are the good plans?" Zhu Youlang asked Wu Bing.
"When you come back to Your Majesty, I am not very familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, and the strategies I think of are just clichés to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. However, I think that Shangshu Chen seems to have something to say, why don't Your Majesty listen to Shangshu Chen's opinions?" Wu Bing couldn't think of a good way, so he had to kick the ball to Chen Bangyan.
"What a slippery person! This is what I said just now. If Chen Bangyan has no good ideas, wouldn't he just be a mediocre official who only asked questions but had no solution?" Zhu Youlang thought to himself.
He loves Chen Bangyan very much and feels that he must have no good idea in this matter. If there is a good idea, how can he not tell it?
But since Wu Bing named him, Zhu Youlang had to look at Chen Bangyan.
"When you come back to your Majesty, I do have a good idea to solve the financial dilemma. I am afraid that your Majesty... is not allowed and dare not report it." Chen Bangyan bowed down, lowered his head, and hesitated.
"Hmm? What bad idea is this guy holding? It's not the idea of hitting me with the silver in the inner treasury? No, this is not possible. I have a lot of money to keep that batch of silver, so I can't use it for other purposes."
Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang said, "Since I know I am not sure, then don't report it."
He immediately held back what Chen Bangyan wanted to say.
Chen Bangyan was indeed the idea of Neikuyin. He had prepared a lot of rhetoric and had many reasons for being open and upright, so he couldn't let the emperor not bleed, but he ended up holding it back.
Chen Bangyan felt uncomfortable and almost suffered internal injuries.
He understood that he was not allowed to play because the emperor already knew what he wanted to play.
"Oh, the emperor is good at everything, but he loves money too much, and has the same temperament as all the ancestors." Chen Bangyan said in his heart.
However, although Zhu Youlang was unwilling to take out the treasury silver, Chen Bangyan was not very worried.
Because of his blind admiration for the emperor, he believed that the emperor would definitely come up with a solution to the problem.
...
Li Dingguo received a letter from Fei Ge and immediately summoned the generals to discuss the mission to Qing camp outside Ganzhou City.
Li Dingguo first told Jirgalang's surrender. Before he could even tell the story of surrendering Mandahai, Ma Bao spoke first: "Jirgalang is smart. If you have no way out, please surrender. Isn't this a coward? The emperor is a marquis, which is really nice to him. We fight south and north, fight east and west, and make many contributions, and we are just an earl..."
"Stop talking! You are too brave to slander me behind your back." Li Dingguo couldn't let him finish speaking and shouted angrily.
Ma Bao immediately fell silent.
"Master Ma, the emperor will definitely report to the emperor for your words today." Li Yong, the military censor, heard Ma Bao openly complaining and expressed his dissatisfaction with the emperor. He became angry and his face turned bad, and said sternly.
"Mr. Li, I am loyal to the emperor and dare not say bad things to the emperor..." Ma Bao was embarrassed by Li Yong, and he felt angry, thinking that Li Yong had made a big fuss. He wanted to make a statement, but he didn't want to make the more unreliable he said it.
Li Dingguo's face turned pale with anger. Why is this guy talking nonsense?
"Master Ma, I will ask for advice. What bad words can the emperor have to say?" Bai Wenxuan, who was not in the way of dealing with him, asked sarcastically.
"Old Bai, don't swear at others. Uh, that's not what you mean. Do you want to frame me?" Ma Bao was anxious when he heard this. If this was said, he would move if he couldn't do it well.
"Shut up! I openly discuss the emperor, you two have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. If you come, push these two goods out, you will be responsible for fifty military sticks!" Li Dingguo was furious and shouted his personal soldiers to push Ma Bao and Bai Wenxuan out of the marching law.
The personal soldiers came in, took the order arrow, and pushed Ma Bao and Bai Wenxuan out for execution.
"I'm wronged, Grandmaster, I'm wronged..." Ma Bao shouted injustice.
He is not afraid of pain, but his "crime of deceiving the king" is implemented.
"Slowly! Grandmaster, be executed slowly. I have something to say to you." Li Yong quickly stood up and said.
"Mr. Li, are you going to plead for him and the other two?"
"No. After the words are finished, if the commander thinks that the words of Huyi are inappropriate, it will not be too late to execute the sentence."
"Okay, let Ma Bao and Bai Wenxuan go, and let me hear what Lord Li said first."
Li Dingguo ordered.
Ma Bao and Bai Wenxuan are both his direct descendants. Li Dingguo knew very well what the two criticized the emperor for their crimes. Therefore, he thought that as long as he beat them and practiced military laws, the emperor would not pursue them again.
This is a typical way to avoid the important things.
Therefore, Li Yong stopped him, and Li Dingguo was not very happy.
"Master General, Your Majesty's reward for surrendered generals such as Jiergalang has a profound meaning. What is the profound meaning? Those who are ministers dare not guess. However, just think about their placement, Your Majesty's intention is not difficult to understand."
Li Yong said half of the sentence, but Ma Bao understood it: "Yes, he won't let him participate in politics and lead troops. Only twenty guards are left. Isn't this a false reputation to raise? Even if he is a tiger, can he harm people as long as he is locked in a cage? Besides, although Obai and the others have also been named earls, how can they compare with us in terms of relatives?"
Ma Bao regretted it so much that he shouldn't be talking nonsense. At the same time, his dissatisfaction with Li Yong just now became thanks.
"Your Majesty must understand that if you reward Jiergalang and others with great rewards, there will definitely be people who will be confused or even misinterpret the will of the saint. Therefore, Your Majesty must be waiting to see who will stand out." Having said this, Li Yong stopped talking about it.
However, Li Dingguo understood.
Yes, the emperor will definitely kill a warning to some people, and it is indeed inappropriate to deal with Ma Bao and others by himself.
At this point, he also understood why Li Yong said he wanted to report to the emperor as soon as possible.
"Thank you, Lord Li, for your advice." Li Dingguo bowed to Li Yong sincerely.
"The general has been defeated." Li Yong quickly thanked him.
"Ma Bao, Bai Wenxuan, you two go back to the camp to think about your mistakes behind closed doors and wait for the imperial edict." Li Dingguo waved his hand and said.
Ma Bao, Bai Wenxuan will exit the account.
"Bai Wenxuan, what's wrong with you? Are you very happy to be accused of taking advantage of the situation? You just can't stand it. Now, I'm not unlucky."
"Hmph, you're right. I'll be happy to see if you're unlucky. At most, I'll be fined, but as for you, I'm afraid I'll lose my title this time. Then we'll be on the same shoulders and heads, so that you won't be arrogant every day!"
