"No need to do anything about Pingzhang", this sentence hit Zhang Yanshang hard like a heavy hammer, even though he was prepared for this situation.

Immediately, Zhang Yanshang lowered his body in Zichen Hall and started crying.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and knew that this person was particularly in love with him, so he continued to ask him: "I asked Mr. Zhang, if the Western Fan, Dangxiang joins the invasion, the capital will be in danger; the Huaixi and Ziqing Fangzhen are eyeing each other and threatening the grain transportation; the roads in Huainan, east and west Zhejiang and other roads are rampant, rebels are rising, the country is not in good use, and the soldiers are in poor clothing and food. What are the good plans for Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Yanshang was speechless and as stale as a wooden chicken. Although he was the master of the Secretariat, he was equivalent to the priest of this country, he rarely involved these issues. When he was in Huainan, Jingnan, and Xichuan, his main political achievements were to work hard to manage and provide tribute to the court in a timely manner. At this level of ability, he was qualified. But it is said that he had to purify the Aofang Town, quell the rebellious forces, manage the border areas of the court, and coordinate the national financial and utilization plans. This level of ability obviously exceeded his limits.

According to the original idea, after overthrowing Li Mi, Gao Yue, Wei Gao and others, his business strategy was to assign specific work to his followers.

But since the Holy Lord asked, he could not refuse to answer, so he said a few words: "There is the wealth of Zhejiang East and West..."

But the emperor interrupted him mercilessly and said: "There are 500,000 households in Xuanshechi, and more than one million households in the east and west Zhejiang, and their wealth accounts for more than half of the world. However, the military palace, patrol, transportation institute, Changgang, etc. used tens of thousands of officials. After the fall of Duke Han and Jin, people were disintegrated and disintegrated. How should these tens of thousands of people be used and how should they be collected?"

Zhang Yanshang's tongue suddenly tied a knot.

The emperor asked him again: "Du You, the governor of Lingnan, flew in a memorial, saying that in the past, foreign ships would go to Guangzhou to trade in a fixed month, and make a lot of profits from it. However, in the past two years, seven or eight out of ten foreign ships have been parked in Annan, and the transactions have made profits. Most of them were robbed by Nanzhao Shangjia. How should Mr. Zhang solve the problem?"

On weekdays, Zhang Yanshang could still come up with a suitable answer, but at this time he was in a state of pain and sweating profusely, and he could not deal with it at all.

The emperor asked him again: "The Xiji Alliance is robbing the country, and the large-scale invasion of Xifan is imminent, and the cost of the funds is not sufficient. The transportation in Jiannan, Jingxi, Shuofang and other places is inconvenient, and it is very difficult for the troops to reinforce each other. What good strategies do Mr. Zhang have?"

At this time, Zhang Yanshang squeezed out: "Please reduce one-third of the number of officials in the world, and reduce the saved official salary to join the Duzhi Department to observe the border army."

The emperor sneered, "One-third? Mr. Zhang was so angry. If you cut it like this, I am afraid that officials from all over the country will go to be thieves."

"I am guilty!" Zhang Yanshang completely collapsed and had to rest again and wait for treatment.

Because he felt that the emperor looked at him, he said everything, that is, "can't be able to do anything,"

The incense burner in the hall was slowly smoked. After a long time, the emperor nodded, his tone became gentle, and he was also admonishing Zhang Yanshang: "In recent times, Mr. Zhang should know that Wu Yuanheng, the former Jinshi of the Eastern Capital, beat the wooden drum in the south of the city, gathered more than a thousand sons to cry and worship in front of the tomb of Zhu Taiwei. He verbally criticized Mr. Zhang as a treacherous minister who lost power and humiliated the country. He was also preparing to beat the drum and requested the court to stop the prime minister. He also said that if he could not do it, he would go to the Yuanling tomb. If the crying to the Yuanling could not be solved, he would go to the Yuanling tomb.

Crying Zhaoling. Alas, if I continue to use Mr. Zhang as prime minister, I may not be able to conquer the world! I will resettle Mr. Zhang. The eastern capital Luoyang is still lacking to stay. His position is leisurely. In addition to his official salary, he also has a "home title" of 10,000 yuan a year. Mr. Zhang and his family enjoy the excellent mountains and rivers. Isn't it beautiful? As for this country, I really don't feel at ease to take responsibility with Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang's son Hongjing has also passed the Ministry of Personnel to be a beautiful position as a judge in Dali Temple. In a few years, he will be a minister. Mr. Zhang is not worried. "

What the emperor said is that you don’t have to worry about your children and grandchildren’s wealth in the future. I will also treat your tribe with preferential treatment, so be more aware of your personality and hand over the position of the magistrate! Don’t tear the face between the monarch and the minister, that will be more worthy of the loss.

At this time, Zhang Yanshang's lips were trembling, his heart was ashamed, and he could only cry, pull out the elephant scepter, put it under his hands, bowed respectfully to the emperor, then held his sleeves and slowly retreated to the palace gate.

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the emperor calling "President Zhang."

Zhang Yanshang was surprised. At this moment, he felt that he still had a chance, so he hurriedly turned around.

Unexpectedly, the emperor said: "Mr. Zhang is old, I am in my prime, and the prince is still young--you don't have to be afraid of woe, so be at ease."

Zhang Yanshang's mouth almost spurted out old blood.

Li Shi's words are very vicious and suppressive: If you alienate me from my father-son relationship, don't say that I can kill you at any time. If the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, you will definitely not have a good ending. So since you are old, please die soon. Don't think about anything more, so as not to live long, and you will eventually be ruined and implicate your family.

After leaving Zichen Hall, Zhang Yanshang was dizzy and slowly walked back to the Political Affairs Hall of the Secretariat under the autumn sun.

At dusk, the bell sounded at the Hanlin Bachelor's College of Youyintaimen, and then Zheng Zhi looked miserable because he had a memorial that the emperor asked him to approve.

This is the memorial of his father-in-law Zhang Yanshang to "beg for bones".

"The Holy Lord is ready." In front of the door, the Zhongguan who delivered the memorial, quietly reminded Zheng Zhi.

"I, I will give you my best wishes and will not let you down the favor of the Holy Lord." The moment he received the memorial, Zheng Zhi's throat rolled and he said in great pain...

Within three days, Li Mi and Jia Dan were both given the Baima Xuan and quickly entered Beijing to perform their duties.

The emperor couldn't wait to open a wall in Xiaoyanying Palace, summoning several prime ministers such as Li Mi, Jia Dan, Lu Zhi, and Liu Congyi.

"The traitors besieged Huating in large numbers." The emperor was straight to the point. "I learned that Huating City was small, and the defenders were the Fengxiang Army general Fang Xianhe and the surrounding camps and more than a thousand people. But Huating should not be lost. If Longzhou is lost, the passage between Fengxiang and Jingyuan will be cut off. What are the good plans for the ministers? Come quickly."

"Where is Gao Yue now?" Li Mi asked first.

"I have left the capital a few days ago. I want him not to go back to Xingyuan Mansion. He rushed to Fengxiang Mansion at the same time, and issued a certificate and stamped it, asking Xingyuan Army Supervisor Ximen Can, and the commander of the capital military Gao Gu, to pull out the Dingwu Army, and head north to Fengxiang, and then Gao Yue unified the order to rescue Huating."

"It's so good, but if the Dingwu Army builds a city in Fengzhou, and leaves Chencang Road to Fengxiang, and travels day and night, it will take seven or eight days. I am afraid that Huating will not be guarded by then, so I ask Your Majesty to send a nobleman from the First Middle School to quickly go to Fengxiang Prefecture to serve as the military supervisor of the Yining Army, assist Gao Yue in unifying the order and first aid Huating." Li Mi suggested.

"How about Huo Zhongtang?"

Li Mi rejected: "Although Huo Zhongtang is in charge of His Majesty's inner treasury, from outsiders, he is just a slave. He must have the skills in the Daming Palace and be honest and capable of doing it."

"Send Ju Wenzhen to go." The emperor quickly made a decision.
