My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 390 We also want equipment

The popularity of military officers riding horses and civil servants sitting in sedan chairs was not popular in the Dalong Dynasty.

Right now, all civil and military officials can ride horses, and they all have fairly good horse skills.It's just that the generals who have been on the battlefield all year round are more proficient in horse skills.

After receiving the emperor's summons, regardless of whether Xiumu's days were over, all the big names in the capital rushed to the gate of the palace one after another, and handed over the horses to the guards guarding the city. Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed towards the imperial study room.

Especially after seeing their colleagues, many officials understood the seriousness of the matter even more. The arrival of the six generals, the left and right ministers, and the two ministers further showed the urgency of the matter.

"Wu Guogong asks to see you."

"General Yun Hui, General Yun Chong of the Huben Army, begging to see you."

"General Longwuwei Huguo Hou Zhang madly begged to see him."

"General of the Tiger and Leopard Guard General Guide Wan Mingliang seeks an audience"

"General Hu Xiangwei, Lu Chengjie, Marquis of Zhongwu, begs to see him."

"General Xiaoguowei Gan Liangbo Dongfang Ming asks to see him."

"Flying Eagle Guard General Yong'an Hou Nangong Ye asks to see him."

"."

"Your Majesty has a decree to announce to all princes and ministers to meet you in the Imperial Study Room."

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

"Let's get down, all my lovers, please take your seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Before the Tang Dynasty, the courtiers sat, before the Song Dynasty, the courtiers stood, and in the Qing Dynasty, the courtiers knelt. It is not an important scene. In fact, the courtiers do not need to kneel everywhere, and the big salute is enough.

I really don't know whether it is the progress of the times or the retrogression. As far as the current Dalong Dynasty is concerned, except for the important day when the Golden Luan Hall has an audience with the Shang Dynasty, you need to kneel down and worship, and you only need to refer to the etiquette at ordinary times.

There is no harm in kneeling down to show loyalty, at least you can show loyalty.

Immediately after the ministers took their seats, some eunuchs began to serve tea and put it aside.

Li Zheng looked serious: "My dear friends, the Audit Department reported that the Emperor Jin sent an envoy to the Shibi Department of the Turkic Dolu Department, dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and thousands of carts of grain and grass. I am afraid that northern Xinjiang will fall into the flames of war again this time." , What's your opinion, dear friends?"

"Your Majesty, has the Procuratorate found out clearly, and will Du Lu Erbu agree to the Emperor Jin's order to send troops to northern Xinjiang?"

Right Prime Minister Sansi stood up first, wanting to know more information.

Li Zheng shook his head slightly: "The inspection department is always a little bit stuck in the mountains and rivers of Jin Guo. After all, Jin Guo's spies are not just for nothing, they can only investigate these things, and it is not clear whether they will send troops to northern Xinjiang. "

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the Du Lu Department has always been open to money. Since the Emperor Jin has sent so many gold, silver and jewels, the Turks will definitely be moved. They will definitely send troops to the northern border. Not only can they receive the benefits of the Jin Kingdom, but also You can rob the property of the people in northern Xinjiang."

"What Wei Aiqing said coincides with what I have said. According to past experience, the Turkic people are just a group of wolves with white eyes who are not familiar with feeding. They will definitely send troops, but they don't know when they will be sent. How about the light cavalry attack or the heavy cavalry cooperate with the infantry to attack the city."

"This, even the veteran Yu Lu can't guess."

"Song Aiqing, what's your opinion?"

Song Yu pondered for a while: "Your Majesty, the capital is thousands of miles away from northern Xinjiang. It must be too late to send spies to investigate now. Now I suggest preparing troops in northern Xinjiang immediately, so as not to be caught by surprise by the Turks."

Jiang Yuanming, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was not happy with Song Yu's words: "Master Song, what you said is simple, do you know how much money it will cost to prepare the army in northern Xinjiang? Do you know how much money is left in the treasury? Even if it is dried up, it will not be able to supply so much food and grass."

The relationship between Jiang Yuanming and Song Yu is actually quite good. As long as they don't want to give money to anyone, they are on good terms. As long as they talk about Qian, Jiang Yuanming can blush with anyone.

Song Yu glanced at Jiang Yuanming helplessly. Song Yu was very clear about his donkey temper. If he was in a hurry, he dared to scold the emperor for being incompetent and innocent.

"Master Jiang, this official is just discussing matters, isn't it still open to question whether to send troops or not?"

"Discuss, no matter how much you discuss, I have no money for a word."

After Jiang Yuanming yelled at Song Yu, he drank tea on his own.

Left Prime Minister Wei Yong thought for a while: "Your Majesty, I agree with the meaning of Song Shangshu, no matter what, prepare the army in the northern border first, so that there will be no danger."

"I agree with Prime Minister Zuo. I am not afraid that the Turks will not send troops, but I am afraid that the Turks will indeed send troops. At that time, the northern border will be unprepared. After all, they will be caught by surprise by the Turkic cavalry. If the city falls, it will not be worth the loss."

"My lords, it's easy for you to say, prepare the army, prepare the army, and you provide the food and grass for the 30 troops. Come and see for yourself, is there any money in the treasury? There is still a little emergency money that was also spent by the Huguo Hou I spent 200 million taels to create new equipment, and now I have no money if you kill the officials."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh."

Zhang Kuang suddenly groaned a few times, and gave Jiang Yuanming a few winks, but it was too late, and the other generals of the five guards looked at Zhang Kuang one after another.

The generals of the Five Guards, who are always watching the nose and the nose, have already decided to listen more, watch more and talk less. The generals themselves only need to obey the orders and fight wherever they are, and leave the quarrel to the civil servants. .

Civil and military ministers don't deal with each other, maybe they can scold each other without a few words, civil officials despise military officials for vulgarity, military officials despise civil officials for being rude, if you quarrel with you, we will just listen to the result.

But what did we hear, what did the general hear meowingly, Zhang Kuang actually took 200 million taels of silver from the national treasury to build new equipment, and they are also the Conglong Liuwei who guarded the northern border. Why does Zhang Kuang spend 200 million more than us , Is he crazy about two eggs?
The other great generals of the five guards looked at the emperor one after another, their resentful eyes were like those of an abandoned daughter-in-law.

Your Majesty, I also want new equipment. They are all heroes for protecting the country. You can't treat one more favorably than another.

Feeling the resentment in the eyes of the general of the five guards, Li Zheng was also a little embarrassed. He also wanted to replace all the six guards with new equipment, but he had more money than enough money.

Subconsciously looking at Zhang Kuang, Zhang Kuang lowered his head, fingered the dirt in his fingers, and blew on it from time to time, not looking at the emperor at all.

We Lao Zhang don't know what equipment is not equipped, and we don't know.

Jiang Yuanming, Minister of the Household Department, threw an account book that he carried with him on the table: "Sirs, look at it for yourself. In a word, if you want money, if you want money, the officials will not give it to you. It's strange that the treasury has no money. Your Majesty?"

Jiang Yuanming even burst out with vulgar words, there is no way, honest people will scold their mothers when they are cornered.

"Why, the fortune of eating the king is for you to share your worries. How to deal with the Turkic affairs? You all propose a regulation for me. The Turkic people are already preparing to fight hard and may go south at any time. I didn't call you here to make you stare blankly."

Several ministers turned their eyes to Jiang Yuanming, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs. No matter how good he is, it is useless. If there is no food and grass, the soldiers cannot drink the northwest wind.
