Ye Xianggao nodded and said, "The Tiger Flag is no longer simply a business in Datong or Xuanfu. After they conquered the Tumote tribe, they also had a foundation on the grassland. Once the court used troops to the Tiger Flag, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not retreat into the grassland. At that time, the imperial army would need to go north to the grassland and completely eradicate the thieves with the Tiger Flag. If they cannot be completely eradicated, they may make a comeback. Just like Altan Khan back then, they offended my Ming border."

Hearing this, Apocalypse nodded in agreement.

"The chief assistant is too high for those traitors who look at the tiger flag. How can they compare to Altan Khan back then? Besides, even Altan Khan back then, he was still blocked from the side wall by my Ming Dynasty." Han said disapprovingly.

He felt that Ye Xianggao raised the tiger flag too high.

Ye Xianggao faced Tianqi and said, "Sage, since the tiger-shaped flag can conquer the Tumote tribe, its strength is definitely not low. Otherwise, the imperial court would not have returned in disgrace after several clearings of it. It can be seen that the strength of the tiger-shaped flag cannot be underestimated. Therefore, I think that if you want to deal with the tiger-shaped flag, you cannot rely solely on the border army of Datong, but also need the court to dispatch a large army to let Xuanfu and Datong border army assist."

"What I am saying is reasonable. If you use troops to the tiger flag, you must completely eradicate it and never give it a chance to rekindle." Tianqi said with confidence.

It is obvious that he supports going north to the grassland to eliminate the tiger flag, rather than just clearing out the tiger flag forces in the border areas of Daming.

Ye Xianggao turned his head and glanced at Han Qiao who was beside him, and winked.

It seems that I will tell him again that the platform has been set up.

Han Shu bowed to Tianqi and said, "Please issue an order to eradicate the tiger flag and kill Liu Heng."

"Okay, I... wait!" Tianqi said halfway, and turned to Ye Xianggao and Han Du in front of him, saying, "The Ministry of Revenue has no money or food, how can it still dispatch a large army?"

The troops and horses move first before they move their food and grass.

Although he had never led the troops, he knew that it was necessary to prepare food and grass in advance to dispatch large troops to fight, and the war was just silver, otherwise the court would not have sent so much money and food to Liaodong every year.

"The Ministry of Revenue really can't afford to pay for the army to prepare food and grass." Ye Xianggao explained to Tianqi.

Han Du next to him said, "I also asked the emperor to take out the silver from the inner treasury to purchase the food and grass of the army, and then wipe out the tiger flag and seize the property of the tiger flag. After replenishing the silver from the inner treasury, the excess silver can be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue."

"Han Aiqing means that I will come out with the army's food and grass?" Tianqi's face became ugly again.

Han Du said: "Eliminating the tiger flag is to solve a disaster for the court, ensure the stability of our border areas in Daming, and at the same time, it can also bring the wealth seized from the tiger flag to the national treasury, which is a good thing that has the best of both worlds."

"How could Han Aiqing know that he could seize anything from the tiger flag? What if there is nothing? Don't forget that the tiger flag has raised a lot of soldiers and horses, and these all require a lot of money." Tianqi frowned and said.

Han Du said: "Even if there is no seizure, only the tiger flag is eradicated, it is also a good thing for the court. After all, the existence of the tiger flag has threatened the Ming Dynasty. If it exists for one day, it will be a threat to the court."

"Let's talk about the tiger flag later! When the Ministry of Revenue collects the cash register, it's not too late to dispatch the imperial army." Tianqi was unwilling to continue to pay out the silver from his inner treasury.

Although he also wanted to eliminate the tiger flag, the imperial court had no money and the tiger flag did not openly rebel, so it would not be too late to take action later.

Having said this, Han Yu was reluctant to give up and continued: "Sage, the matter of the tiger-shaped flag should not be delayed. Every more day, the power of the tiger-shaped flag will increase by one point. In the long run, it will sooner or later become a disaster for the court."

"I have said that I will talk about the tiger flag later. If the cabinet cannot wait, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to prepare the money and food required by the army. I will never stop it." Tianqi said impatiently.

In order to help the victims, he had already taken out 100,000 taels from the inner treasury, and he wanted to ask him to get the silver from the inner treasury again, so he didn't even think about it.

Han Du said in full voice: "Master, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the tiger-shaped flag must not be kept."

"I have said that the tiger flag will be eradicated sooner or later, but there is no empty treasury now. After collecting all the money and food, it will not be too late to dispatch a large army to clear the tiger flag." Tianqi began to be dissatisfied with Han Du's desperate battle.

If the disaster victims are not helped, civil rebellion is likely. The tiger-shaped flag conquered the Tumote tribe for so long, and there has never been a clear intention to rebel against the court, so he believes it is not too late to wait or take action.

When the national treasury is sufficient, a large army can be dispatched to the grasslands to eradicate the tiger flag at any time.

"Isn't the emperor afraid that Liu Heng, who is the tiger-shaped flag, will become the next old slave in Liaodong?" Han Du said to Tianqi.

Tianqi's face sank and said, "I have said that it's not that I don't want to eradicate the tiger flag, but that the national treasury is empty and unable to dispatch a large army. Even the money and food for disaster relief have to be pieced together. Do you think the court still has enough money and food to dispatch a large army to the grassland north?"

He was very angry.

He felt that Han Du was too ignorant and stared at his inner treasury. Moreover, the money and food required to use troops to the tiger flag were not supported by his inner treasury.

"Gei Han should not force the emperor to go again. The emperor knows that when it is time to send troops to the tiger flag, a large army will naturally be dispatched." Ye Xianggao found that Tianqi was already angry and hurriedly stopped Han Du, who was still in a different position.

He knew that Han Yu was also for the benefit of the court, but the court did not have any money to dispatch the army, otherwise Datong and Xuanfu would not have allowed themselves to raise food and money.

"I'm tired, so I'll send two cabinet masters away." Tianqi ordered the little eunuch beside him.

He no longer had the patience to wait for Ye Xianggao and the others to leave by themselves, and directly asked the eunuch to drive the person out of the Qianqing Palace.

"Two masters, I will send you out." The little eunuch walked to Ye Xianggao and Han Du and said respectfully.

"I'm leaving."

Ye bowed to Gao Chaotianqi.

Then he saw that Han Yu did not move, so he pulled Han Yu with his hands.

"I have also surrendered." Han Yu had no choice but to bow.

The little eunuch walked in front to guide the two people and sent them out to the gate of Qianqing Palace before returning.

Ye Xianggao and Han Du left the Qianqing Palace and walked side by side towards Wenyuan Pavilion.

Compared to Ye Xianggao's calm expression, Han Yu's face looked very ugly.

A little farther from the Qianqing Palace, Han Yu couldn't help saying, "Brother Jinqing, why didn't you help me just now in front of the saint? You know that the tiger flag is a disaster for the court and will sooner or later threaten the Ming Dynasty."

"So what if you know, the court has no extra money to mobilize the army." Ye Xianggao said as he walked.

Han Du said: "There is not in the court, but the emperor has it. The inner treasury of the Shenzong back then left a lot of things. As long as the emperor agrees, I don't believe that I can't raise money and food for a large army."

"You also said that it is the inner treasury, the thing belonging to the emperor himself." Ye Xianggao said.
