My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 62

"Miss...Miss...it's not good. I just heard from Xiao Guizi that many people wanted to impeach Brother Yu during the morning court today."

"What...someone is impeaching Brother Yu?"

Jia Yuanchun, who was doing needlework, couldn't help shaking his hands when he heard this, and then let out a soft hum.

"Miss, you were pricked by a needle."

"It's okay. Baoqin, please continue talking. What's going on?"

Yuan Chun casually put the slender finger pricked by the needle into his mouth and sucked it, then looked at Jia Yu nervously.

"That's right, said the slave, Eunuch Xiao Anzi of Fengzao Palace.

A few days ago, there was a leak from the imperial censor, requesting Your Majesty to transfer the stolen silver seized by Brother Yu at Erlong Mountain and Changping Mansion to the national treasury on the grounds that the national treasury was short of silver.

After being rejected by His Majesty, another censor said that Brother Yu disrespected the clan leader and committed murder in Rongguo Mansion, and asked Your Majesty to punish him severely.

Not only that, Uncle Zhen and Uncle She also published a book about Brother Yu respectively, demanding that he be punished sternly and severely. "

"How could this be so?" Yuanchun couldn't help but blushed, and said anxiously: "Didn't I ask someone to deliver a letter to my ancestors a few days ago? Why do they still want Brother Shen Yu?

Doesn’t she care about the ancestors? "

Baoqin's eyes also turned red, "Miss, you don't know what kind of temper Uncle Zhen and Uncle She are. Brother She has offended them, how can they let it go?
Besides, ancestors... ancestors..."

Having said this, Baoqin gritted his teeth and said, "Miss, please forgive me for being brave. These old ancestors only have eyes for Mr. Bao.

The servant heard that after Brother Yu killed those disciples in Rongguo Mansion last time, Master Bao was frightened and was sick for several days.

Uncle Zhen and Uncle She are still bedridden. It would be a lie to say that our ancestors do not hold any grudge against Brother Yu.

This may be the reason why our ancestors kept silent this time and allowed Uncle She and Uncle Zhen to take advantage of Brother Shenyu. "

Yuanchun didn't understand this truth, but she just couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

You can imagine the pain in her heart when she left her parents and relatives and entered the palace at the age of 13. She was left alone and helpless to struggle in this palace that ate people without spitting out their bones.

What does it want?
Don't you just want to be a foreign aid for Ning Rong's second house?

Now the Jia family has finally produced an outstanding son. Although he comes from the twelfth house of Jinling, his surname is Jia after all.

But instead of trying to win over the people in Ningrong's second house, they went to great lengths to impeach members of their own family. This behavior not only chilled the clan members, but also made people laugh.

Presumably all the dignitaries in Shenjing are laughing secretly now, right?

Thinking that he had tried his best to protect the Jia family, but ended up with such a pig teammate, Yuanchun's eyes turned red for a moment, and tears burst out of his eyes.

"Miss... Miss... don't cry... I'm crying now... I don't know what to do..."

Baoqin hugged his young lady and comforted her repeatedly, but after a few words of comfort, even she started to cry.

"Your Majesty, I kindly ask you to open your inner treasury and allocate 100 million taels of silver to the Ministry of Revenue."

The chief minister of the cabinet, Tan Qingyun, and the elder Yang Jilin knelt on the ground one after another, begging Emperor Changping sincerely.

Emperor Changping's face twitched, he looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and sneered: "I remember that I discussed with you at the beginning to ask the Ministry of Revenue to make up for the arrears of food and salary for the Xuanfeng Camp and the Fifth Army Camp. You guys just don't live and die. Agreed, that would be fine if this was the case for the Jingying camp. But except for the Xuanfeng camp and the Fifth Army camp, the other six battalions in the Jingying camp have made up for the arrears of wages.

This time I used the internal treasury to make up for the unpaid wages for the Selected Front Camp and the Fifth Army Camp. I have other uses for the remaining money, so you don't have to worry about it. "

"Your Majesty, even if you have made up for the outstanding debts for the Selected Front Camp and the Fifth Army Camp, there should be millions of taels of silver left.

Nowadays, the Mongolian Chahar tribe of Xuanda Border Gate is increasingly ambitious under the leadership of its great Khan Totuo Buhua, and the Jurchen power in Jianzhou, Liaodong is also rising rapidly.

The generals of Jiubian are clamoring for pay, food, and equipment every day. The Ministry of Revenue is really out of money, so I have to ask you. "

After Tan Qingyun finished speaking, Yang Jilin also followed suit: "Your Majesty, the governor of Shaanxi Province Yang Yiqing sent an urgent report the day before yesterday. There has been no rain in Shaanxi this year, and large tracts of fertile farmland have failed to harvest.

People were starving to death in the wilds. Yang Yiqing asked the court to distribute relief grain and silver. However, because the household department had no money, the court could do nothing about it. The old minister could only ask his majesty to allocate internal funds. "

Looking at this familiar scene, Emperor Changping couldn't help pinching the bridge of his nose.

Over the years, this scene has been played out almost every once in a while.

Whenever Emperor Changping saved a little money, Tan Qingyun would use various excuses to get the money out of his hands.

These ministers are telling him in this way that the country of Daxia belongs to your old Li family. Now there is no money. If you don’t allocate the money, who will?
Several times Emperor Changping wanted to call the guards and drag these ministers out, but he was restrained with great perseverance.

But today, he decided not to spoil these people anymore.

Emperor Changping said coldly: "I have entrusted the responsibility of the cabinet to my two beloved ministers, but you always shirk and deal with it when encountering problems.

Either they are making a fuss about opening up internal funds, but they can't come up with a good plan other than that. What's the use of cabinet ministers like you?
Tan Qingyun, you are a veteran of three dynasties who have assisted Gaozu, Shenwu and me, but look at you now, besides asking for money from me, what else will you do? "

Such an accusation is very serious for a minister, especially the chief minister of the cabinet.

It can even be said that the emperor no longer trusts his ability.

Tan Qingyun stretched out his hands tremblingly and took off the black gauze hat on his head, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed of my kindness to Your Majesty.

Now that the old minister is very old, he really has no energy to continue to serve His Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to allow the old minister to beg for his remains. "

In the feudal era, the rule of imperial power was not static.

Before the Xia Dynasty, the imperial power had to struggle with the power of the prime minister. Since Emperor Taizu of the Xia Dynasty abolished the prime minister system, the object of the struggle for power with the emperor has become the cabinet.

The struggle between imperial power and prime ministerial power is also a history of constant compromise between the two sides.

Sometimes, facing the obvious threat and persecution from the imperial power, giving up one's sons is the most common method used by ministers.

I won’t accompany you anymore, you can play by yourself.

Of course, anyone who dares to show off in front of the emperor.At least you must be at the level of an important minister or above. Otherwise, if you, a petty official as big as a sesame seed and a mung bean, want to threaten the emperor with your choice, then you think your life is too long.

Faced with Tan Qingyun's threat, Emperor Changping only showed a sneer on his lips, "Tan Aiqing, I understand that you want to beg for your bones and go back to your hometown to take care of yourself.

But after all, you are the first assistant appointed by the emperor, and I have no right to approve it. Otherwise, you should go to Longshou Palace to ask the emperor for permission? "
