Chapter 1135: Frozen Three Feet
Emperor Hongzhi went to the Ministry of War with great anxiety.
As soon as I got off the car, my old face turned red.
So many people came.
He wanted to deal with it in a low-key manner, but now it seems...
Fang Jifan seemed very well-behaved and got off the car first. Seeing that Xiao Jing was about to open the car door for Emperor Hongzhi, he squeezed his body and staggered Xiao Jing. Then, he opened the car door for Emperor Hongzhi himself, and a smile appeared on his face. This smile was like a little white rabbit, gentle and harmless.
Emperor Hongzhi got off the car.
When he heard that His Majesty had arrived, the ministers in this courtyard were coming to pick him up.
Emperor Hongzhi ignored it, took the lead, and quickly entered the ministry.
Fang Jifan trotted and followed him. He wanted to break the head, but he couldn't figure out why he had to instruct the emperor to come to the Ministry of War.
There is no way, you are stupid!
Except for this explanation, other explanations are not very reasonable.
When they entered the ministry, they saw that Zhu Zaimo had already stood up, and the other young men were at a loss.
Obviously they have also learned the news that His Majesty has arrived.
Ma Wensheng was quite calm. After all, he was not the one who was beaten. He was calm and calm. He bowed to Emperor Hongzhi: "I have seen Your Majesty."
The assistant minister Zhang Hai looked aggrieved and also bowed down.
He Jing, the one who was lying on the ground, was the most beaten man from the Ministry of War. When He Jing saw that the emperor was here, he did not dare to lie on the ground. Oh, he came, and turned over and said with a wheel, "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi held his hands tightly, and he stood, staring at Zhu Zaimo.
Zhu Zaimo wanted to salute Emperor Hongzhi, but Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "Don't be too polite, what are you doing?"
Zhu Zaimo said: "Yes, Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hongzhi ignored Zhu Zaimo's words and said lightly: "Come on, get me a chair."
Xiao Jing hurriedly took a chair, but Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were still on Zhu Zaimo's body.
He smiled and said, "I am here, watching from the wall."
This means, if you make a fuss, I will watch you make a fuss.
Fang Jifan was beside him, and he raised his thumbs up: "Your Majesty is really wise, and he is very clear..."
Emperor Hongzhi ignored Fang Jifan's words.
Fang Jifan was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but glar at Zhu Zaimo.
Seeing this, Zhu Zaimo was still calm and said, "Okay."
The answer was very straightforward, and it was indeed the emperor's grandson, whoever he loved.
He actually sat down and ignored Emperor Hongzhi: "Have you calculated it?"
"It's calculated!" A young man stood up: "In these books, the last time the money and grain distributed to the 12th Regiment Battalion was 1,967 taels of silver, grain... 13,754 dan, the amount was clear, it was clear, but this was the money and grain distributed three months ago."
Zhu Zaimo nodded: "It's great. There are more than 13,000 people in the group camp. Although this number is small, it can only be squeezed out. So, if you check it again, why are there so many money and food? "
The young man said, "It is said that the money and food are exhausted, not only the 12th Regiment Camp, but others such as the Caval Caval Camp, the Three Thousand Camp, and the Five Military Camp, which is mostly the case."
Zhu Zaimo smiled: "Is that true? In this way, our Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War is a clever woman who cooks without rice."
The boy nodded: "On the books, it is indeed exhausted."
Zhu Zaimo took the book and looked down.
The Minister of War Ma Wensheng thought about what he said... But the Minister of War He Jing said: "There is only so much money and grain, how can we not be owed credit? Now it is not just the Ministry of War, but the court is also in trouble, so we have to let the soldiers share the worries of the court on their behalf. Why is Your Highness so inhumane... actually treating the officials..."
Speaking of this, he wanted to cry again.
Is this just a beat for no reason?
Zhu Zaimo smiled and said, "Yes, share the worries of the court..."
He suddenly looked fierce and suddenly threw the account book to the ground: "But... I'll ask you, the monthly loss here in the arsenal is so huge? Look, the cost of silver is 97,000 taels per month, and it raises 19,000 people. The food it eats every month is as much as 230,000 dan."
He Jingqi said: "This...this...this...this is customization. The arsenal needs maintenance. There are so many swords, guns, swords and halberds inside. If no one carries it, it will be decayed..."
Zhu Zaimo smiled: "Is that so? Zhengqing!"
After hearing this, Fang Zhengqing seemed to be ready and winked at the boys, but saw someone carrying a few weapons. With a bang, the rusty weapon fell to the ground. There was a strange knife, perhaps because of the rusty rust, and it broke in response...
He Jing turned around and looked at the weapons and his face turned dark.
Zhu Zaimo said angrily: "Look, these are the weapons I ordered to take from the arsenal. There are weapons maintained by 19,000 military officials. Now you see if they are decayed."
"This..." He Jing hurriedly said: "This is obviously the military officer in the arsenal... he neglects his duties and must investigate thoroughly... he thoroughly..."
Emperor Hongzhi was sitting in awe, but now his face became meaningful.
He stood up, squatted down, picked up the broken Mo Dao. On the broken section, rust had almost eroded the inside of the Mo Dao.
Fang Jifan probably understood something, and suddenly, it seemed like he had a reassurance. Although he still doesn't know what Zhu Zaimo was doing, at least... it doesn't seem like he was making a fool of himself.
After all... he was a disciple taught by our Fang Jifan.
Zhu Zaimo laughed again: "So much money and food, and so many people, and the maintenance of weapons has become like this. Is this just an ordinary military officer dereliction of duty? But... Once the soldiers have to pay money and food, the money and food will be gone. The 12th Regiment Battalion is still the elite in the Beijing camp, and the responsibility is heavy, but even they... have owed the salary for three months. Haha... If they don't pay money and food for three months, they have to make them understand the difficulties of the court and share the worries of the court. I'll ask you, can the court have any credit for your salary?"
"This..." He Jing said: "Your Majesty is polite to the ministers and does not owe credit?"
"Then I will ask you again, what about the Ice and Carbon, those who gave you Ice and Carbon, have they ever been in arrears?"
As soon as he heard Bing Jing and Tang Jing, He Jing's face suddenly collapsed. The so-called Bing Jing and Tang Jing are actually more elegant words. They are a bit ugly, and they are bribery.
However, this kind of bribery has formed a fixed rule. There are unwritten rules for what kind of official should be given, and when to give it.
He Jing hurriedly denied: "The official... the official... I don't know what Your Highness said!"
Emperor Hongzhi sat aside, his eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes became more meaningful.
"Don't you know what I'm talking about?" Zhu Zaimo said seriously: "Do you want me to tie those who gave you Bing Jing and Carbon Jing here and confront you?"
"This..." He Jingqi Ai Ai.
Zhu Zaimo said: "For example, Weihaiwei commander, I will give you it every year..."
He Jing's face was terrible, and his heart skipped a beat. Why did this little ancestor know everything?
He hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Highness, this is just a little intention... human relationship."
"Yes." Zhu Zaimo said: "They gave you a lot of favors, and they couldn't delay them for a moment. But in the 12th Regiment Camp, this is still the Jingying. The salary of the Jingying can be owed for three months in credit. If the court does not pay you three months' salary, what would you do if Bingjing and Carbon Jing delay you for three months?"
"this……"
"This is the money and food they can support their family. If they don't have food for three months, how can they make a living? Do you know that many soldiers really can't afford to eat and have no choice but to borrow money from others. Do you know that the interest rate on borrowing is so high that it is so high. Once you borrow, you will be owed people money and food in your life... you will be owed more and more money and food, like snowballs, and your descendants can't pay it all. In this way, are you still counting on them, garrison the capital, and protecting people like you?"
He Jing was already sweating profusely.
These are originally unwritten rules.
Who knew that today... the emperor's grandson actually tore open this layer of fig leaf so ruthlessly.
In fact, these things have happened for a long time, but they are superior to the palace and may not understand the truth. Even if you hear them a little, they think they are just small things.
And these rules are very popular, from top to bottom, who doesn’t know?
However, a trace of shock flashed through Emperor Hongzhi's eyes.
He knew some of these things, but he didn't expect that they had reached such a point.
He Jing had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, the ice is three feet long, not a day's cold..."
This is no trick.
He Jing can be considered as having a good reputation when he said this.
This is He Jing defending himself. It has nothing to do with him. Not only do I do this, but everyone does this, and both ex-boyfriend and ex-exe are like this.
Zhu Zaimo said: "What a freezing three feet, not a day of cold. This is the real disappointment. Do you know that in the third year of Zhengtong, when the imperial court inspected military households, it was found that there were 1.6333,664 fleeing officials. Isn't you sure how many people have escaped decades ago? Why do they rather flee than soldiers? Isn't this what you call freezing three feet, not a day of cold? Year after year, day after day, reading the books of sages, talking about the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, and doing so in vain, is it like this, serving the court? Over the years, no one has been concerned about this matter, from top to bottom, everyone is silent. This is your freezing three feet, not a day of cold."
He opened his eyes.
He said angrily: "But... no one cares about this matter, I will take care of it. Come and call the people from the 12th Regiment Battalion!"
The 12th Regiment Battalion... called...
He Jing's pupils contracted.
This... this... without the imperial court's proclamation, officers and soldiers are not allowed to leave their posts without permission. How can they just say it?
The emperor... Why don't you play according to the rules at all?
