Hundreds of thousands of people in the army spend a huge amount of military supplies every year, and the Queen Mother thought of a perfect strategy.
The flood disaster in Jiangnan seven years ago was not too serious.
However, the queen mother instructed the chief of Jiangnan to lie and exaggerate the disaster. She made a big fuss about the people in Jiangnan, such as being displaced and poor, and could not bear the burden of Pang Dadong’s military supplies. She decided that the East Army should be kept by the state treasury for the time being.
The ministers also felt that they were sympathetic to the people and in line with the people’s feelings. They adopted the opinions of officials and agreed to this decree.
Since then, the Eastern Army has been special to other three armies to eat imperial grain.
I have to admire this cunning queen mother, Jiangnan County, which claims to be a land of fish and rice, and the granary on the east side of Daqin County collects taxes several times as much as other counties every year. Because there is no need to raise troops, these huge tax tribes enter the hands of the queen mother party.
The old hag asked Bai Xihuang to raise an army for her, and she also took the opportunity to earn rich resources for rebellion. It can be said that she killed two birds with one stone. No wonder Bai Xihuang is so angry now. Can it not make people angry to raise soldiers for her enemies?
In the face of Xie Tingyun’s righteous words, Bai Xihuang responded unhurriedly: "The right phase was set by the designated county to raise the fourth army, which was formulated by the first king. Seven years ago, the mother was temporarily transferred to the state treasury to raise the East Army. But the flood was seven years ago. As far as I know, Jiangnan has recovered five years ago."
"Over the years, the imperial court has been sympathetic to the people and has not collected a penny of money from Jiangnan County. The losses caused by floods have already been made up for. In the past three years, the Jiangnan area has had a good harvest every year. According to my report, the granary of Jiangnan County has surplus food to rot."
"Jiangnan mice are twice as big as Beijing mice. Now you tell me that you can’t get the money to raise the East Army? Jiangnan County deducts huge taxes every year. Do you want to rebel? "
The last sentence was spit out through Bai Xihuang’s teeth with a bit of cold.
Speaking of the sensitive word rebellion, Xie Tingyun and Mrs. Mu are very knowledgeable.
After all, saying the wrong thing is the name of the crime. No matter how hostile they are, they dare not directly confront Bai Xihuang now.
The queen mother was angry and said, "We can’t talk nonsense if there is no real evidence for the emperor’s rebellion. Today, since the emperor insists on restoring the Jiangnan County’s pay, the mourning family also accepts this condition."
The old witch’s anger was aroused by Bai Xihuang, and they didn’t want to pretend to talk about the scene again, tear off the mask and tell the truth.
"The queen mother can accept it. Of course, I don’t want an injunction."
The Queen Mother said, "Yu Er led 150,000 northern troops to the Xiongnu decisive battle, and now Ai Jia sent 50,000 eastern troops to the front, but the war in northern Xinjiang went to Daqin. You are the emperor of Daqin, and Ai Jia asked you to send 50,000 western troops to participate in the war. This is not too much to ask."
The old witch is right. The war in northern Xinjiang is not a family affair of the Queen Mother. Bai Xihuang also has a country to be in power. He should have sent Julian Waghann to defend the dignity of Daqin.
But Bai Xihuang’s cheekiness once again surprised me
"In recent years, the toast of the western regions is recruiting troops. The Western Army is stationed in the western Xinjiang to prevent the invasion of the toast army. Now, part of it will give the toast king an opportunity to invade our Daqin territory. At the same time, the attack on both sides of the northwest will definitely cause my Daqin to be weakened and rescue the northern army. Of course, the idle East Army will bear the burden of the Western Army. It is absolutely impossible to adjust the tone of the dark light flow in his eyes."
The old hag planned to ask the emperor to pay or do something, so this invasion won’t make the Queen Mother Party suffer too much losses.
However, Bai Xihuang seems to want neither to pay nor to contribute, but to take the opportunity to weaken the influence of the Queen Mother.
No matter how good the Queen Mother is, she can’t restrain the anger in her chest. "The emperor’s practice of being the emperor of Daqin is not too chilling. Is it worthwhile for her brother from ruin to be worthy of the ancestors of the Baijia family?"
"The queen mother, it’s really scary that you put a big hat on your ancestors." Bai Xihuang sniffed.
"I’m sorry for the way my ancestors lived, but the queen mother didn’t know what the ancestors thought on weekdays. The Xiongnu was really a great disaster for us, but the situation of disturbing the border people over the years was not too serious. I don’t think it is necessary to expel them at this time. After all, the lose-lose situation is good for me."
Bai Xihuang continued to sneer. "Did you regret it when you insisted that your second brother lead the northern army to attack the Xiongnu?"
"So eager to let the second brother establish the meritorious military service is not to have a more justified excuse to let the second brother sit on the throne in the future. It’s a pity that you underestimate the strength of Xiongnu and despise the military ability of Bai Ye Yu. It’s not too ridiculous that you made this rotten stall yourself and wanted me to help you clean it up."
It seems that Bai Xihuang is also patient to the extreme. This fight has finally caught Gao Yun’s eyes, and I am so excited and jumpy.
Alas, alas, there is a price to pay for watching the drama. This time, my mortality rate is estimated to have increased again.
"Bang!" The Queen Mother was so angry that she threw the teacup to the ground, and my horse shrank its legs to avoid splashing tea.
"Bai Xihuang’s expedition this time was due to the improper consideration of the mourning family, but you should not be complacent too early. Even if there are 50,000 Dongjun left behind, the mourning family around Gyeonggi will have enough power to control the situation in Beijing."
"Ai Jia has been playing chess for more than ten years. It’s not that you’re wet behind the ears. A small step can change the game. Sooner or later, you’ll be white. What do you mean, throwing eggs at stones and groaning? Ai Jia advises you to enjoy being emperor for a few more days. Don’t make any minor moves."
Bai Xihuang saw that the queen mother was furious and immediately smiled and scored Uber’s expression, which made people itch and owe a smoke.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for waking up, but I also want to wake up. Empress Dowager, don’t be too arrogant and conceited in everything. You have limited talents to control state affairs for ten years, and the higher you go, the worse you will fall."
His soft voice is full of irony. "I advise my mother to have sex with you when she is still in prison, but she won’t have such a chance."
"Bai Xihuang, will you regret offending me today?" The Queen Mother threw a meaningful sentence.
I sent the Empress Dowager, who was so angry that she exploded, to the front of Fengzao Palace. The Empress Dowager sat with four people carrying the green lotus edge and leaving Mrs. Mu to accompany her.
Xie Tingjun stopped and turned around and smiled at me. "You also saw the dangerous and complicated struggle in the palace. The queen mother and the emperor vowed not to fight each other, which will wave a lot of koo people. I can see that you don’t want to get involved in these things. Please keep silent and don’t go to the emperor’s side, okay? Once involved, the day after tomorrow will be full of bloodshed. You don’t want to live like this, do you? "
"Well, I don’t know what you mean. I will protect myself from harm."
I tilted my head and asked curiously, "Thank you, I don’t know why you have been helping me. It seems that our friendship is not enough for you to do this."
Xie Tingjun smiled. "Do you suspect that I have ulterior motives?"
"I doubt you for your sincere smile, but everything has a reason. So what is the reason why you are good to me?"
Xie Tingyun suddenly touched my head and smiled. "A dirty mud pit has grown such a clean little white flower that I have lost color. I don’t want it to be contaminated. I hope your eyes will always be as clear and dazzling as today."
Back in the temple, my heart is still warm. Xie Tingyun’s sincere words make me believe that there are still some warm sunshine in this dark court.
I sat at a mahogany round table and a shadow enveloped me.
I was shocked. "You haven’t left yet?"
Bai Xihuang suddenly reached out and patted my face in a dark and strange way. "Is the trumpet so warm because of him?" I hate it when all the good things are taken up by him, which is very unpleasant. Sooner or later, he will die in my hands. I advise you to die as soon as possible. "
"What are you going to do to him?"
I was shocked to see that he looked gloomy and stared at my face like a joke. I didn’t accidentally hurt Xie Tingyun, did I?
