17. Supervise Jianghuai tax
"Now that all parties are in trouble, how can I sit in the palace with peace of mind without going inside the hall?" The emperor, who received the news of the death of the Western Fan envoy, was full of anxiety in front of several Hanlin scholars.
It's time for this country to be exhausted again.
At the same time, the Helong Shence Decisive Army, Weirong Army, and Xuanwei Army had several border towns, and the documents also flew in like snow. They took General Gao Chongwen of Shence as the core and temporarily formed a tough main battle group, asking the emperor to issue an edict: to confer Liangzhou Mudi as the new Xifan Zanpu, and then the Shence Border Army joined forces with Mudi's troops to attack from the border of Sun and Moon Mountain in Chiling, attacked to Luoshe City, and supported Mudi as Zanpu's position, and then made Xifan completely become a vassal of the Tang Dynasty.
Most of the generals are radical hawks.
Moudi's diplomatic envoy, who had been injured in Chang'an City's guest province, also began to actively operate. He contacted his friends, Yuan Tongzhi, who is currently the host and guest doctor of the Ministry of Rites, mediated with the Tang family - hoping to "borrow" 20,000 from the Tang family, and Ma Chongying, Liangzhou, and Shang Jiezan, went to the Tang family for another 20,000 to help Moudi return to the plateau. After the matter was completed, not only returned to Liangzhou, but also wanted to ced the old land of Tuyuhun back to the Tang family.
In this regard, the emperor's heart began to be irritated.
However, the prime minister's political affairs hall and the Censorate system, Du Huangshang, Lu Zhi and even Han Hui, did not advocate a solution to the civil strife in Xiban.
Lu Zhi made a series of comments to the emperor, saying that although Muni died, his common father, Chisong Dezan, was still there and had a high prestige. If we support Mudi's fight for the throne, it is not right, so it is better to stand aside and wait and wait and make a decision.
Du Huangshang, the Minister of the Secretariat, said it more directly to the emperor:
"Before the Duke of Wei left Huainan, His Majesty's words were still in his ears, saying that he would first focus on pacifying the Dongman of Lingnan. Now that Xifan Muni has passed away, it has not reached the point of using rashly force."
Han Hui also said that the decision on how to make the decision on this matter should be consulted first.
The emperor said yes.
However, Huainan Jinzuyuan immediately submitted Gao Yue's memorial.
Gao Yue’s opinion is very clear:
Now Helong and Anxi Beiting are firmly in the hands of our Tang Dynasty. The road of trade has been reopened, and the field and storage of grain in the border military camps have also been achieved. However, it has not yet arrived at the time of military service. Because the court's finances are insufficient to support the war against Xifan, the two fronts of Dongman started at the same time;
The soldiers of the Fanhan Mountain and Water Village, mainly Xiongqi Army and others, were not fully unified in their orders and were not well-trained in their practice, which was not enough to form an effective auxiliary to the Shence Army;
There is no doubt that Wei Gao is the head coach on Jiannan Road, but there is no suitable head coach on Helong Road (except me, but I am not here, I am in Huainan, please recognize this). However, if Wei Gao is in charge of the two routes, the command will inevitably be inconvenient, or if Wei Gao leaves the town to Lanzhou to command, it is not very good;
The most important thing is that our Wuyi Army has been trained. As long as the Zhenhai Army provides a large ship, we can go to Guangdong and meet Du You to fight against the cave barbarians. There is no need for Your Majesty to change the course temporarily and seek the west.
In addition, Mou Di has been under the supervision of the town. He must not let him and Ma Chongying and Shang Jiezan get together, otherwise after he returns, Xifan will still be the enemy of my Tang, and the sacrifices of my Tang for the war will be lost.
So the emperor had to hold an expanded meeting of prime ministers in Yanying Hall.
All three prime ministers agreed with Gao Yue's suggestion.
"As long as the two taxes in the Dingdongman, the five Lingnan prefectures, Hunan, and Qianzhong areas can be re-entered. It will be simple to consider the matter of Xifan later."
Pei Yanling, who was standing behind the hall, felt furious and uneasy.
He also knew that the most critical fate of life was already in front of him.
In the last few years of life, I will continue to lie in Gao Yue's breath, and end my life with a mere judgment (controlling the money bag);
He still grasped the emperor's thoughts, jumped up vigorously, and used slander to defeat Gao Yue's allies in the court. He also entered the government affairs hall under Baima Xuan.
"If you hesitate, you will lose... the loser will have nothing." Pei Yanling thought in pain.
But he thought hard that his weight was against Gao Yue, obviously hitting the stone with eggs.
As for the emperor, although the emperor favored him, he was not as willing to abandon Gao Yue for him.
"My memory!" Pei Yanling suddenly burst out of this word in his heart.
But in Yanying's palace, he was still a little short of breath and stuffed it back into his heart.
In the next three days, there will be no secret competition in all parties and circles.
Mother Dingezeng asked someone to bring a letter to Yuan Tongzhi in the guest province, saying that if the Tang family had any concerns, we were willing to change the "flag" and did not call Mu Di Zanpu, but said that he would reconsider Chisong Dezan as Zanpu, but he still needed the Tang family to send troops to help. In addition, he still hoped that Mu Di could leave Shancheng and act with the restored army.
Yuan Tongzhi wrote back and said that he would submit his full force to the court to fight for this matter.
But secretly, Yuan was still more concise, so he wrote a letter to Gao Yue, Huainan.
After all, Yuan Tongzhi is still clear about who is the big tree and who is kind to him now.
And within the school of the Secretariat, the three prime ministers reached an agreement again when they met for food:
Ask Gao Yue to quickly go out of the army. Taking this opportunity, the Secretary of the Secretariat Du Huangshang judged the finance department of the three departments again, and gathered the two taxes in the world as soon as possible. Hu Dou rice was gathered into the national treasury. Lu Zhi carried the pen to the Golden Palace, and Han Hui divided the affairs of the other five departments of the Secretariat to avoid long nights and dreams;
As for the fact that Gao Yue had complained to the court before, Li Qi, the Zhenhai Army, was unwilling to provide ships, so the Zhongshu Party flew to deliver a letter of stern warning to Li Qi, asking him to collect all the ships within one month and transport Wu Yi's army to Guangzhou.
When the Prime Minister's Zhengshi Hall flew to Yangzhou and Runzhou, which were only separated by a river, Gao Yue smiled. He called Wang Haichao, who was left in the backyard of Yangzi, and asked him: "Send someone to Jingkou as soon as possible, urging Li Qi to say that Jingkou has 660,000 guan of taxes, 750,000 liang of rice, and 500,000 guan of salt and profit, must be sent to your backyard from now on, and then you will ship together and send it to the capital with our Huainan share."
Wang Haichao was sweating coldly, and he had already smelled the extremely dangerous aura.
But he had no choice but to take the order and leave.
"Pei Yanling actually held back the news from the Daming Palace, so he would add more fire and force him to stand up." After Wang Haichao left, Gao Yue said to Gu Xiu, who was behind the scenes.
"Mr. Pei has always been slack, and has the courage to slander, but has no courage to take responsibility." Gu Xiu commented.
"It is easy to deal with Li Qiyun's role like Li Qiyun, but Bowen, I agree with what Lu Jiu said before. I feel that if I don't borrow Xiao Pei's affairs to change the court, I will encounter constraints in everything I do, and I will be a little bored." Then Gao Yue's eyes turned to the south, which was the location of Jingkou, Runzhou. "So from now on, let's see what kind of ability this Zhenhai Army governor has to deal with me?"
Chapter completed!
