Chapter 1232 I will focus on the military

Seeing that the pot was thrown onto Zhao Buxi's head, Wu Lin was also quite depressed.

Of course he couldn't take a shot at Zhao Buxi directly. Zhao Buxi was the emperor after all, so how could the ministers blame the emperor?

But he couldn't admit it on the spot either, he wanted face.

So he could only stare at Jiang Fu with a stern look, and finally said angrily: "It seems that before sending troops, we need to find out all these corrupt officials one by one, search their homes, and see if they can get me out of them. The food you want!"

Seeing that Wu Lin was about to explode without going down the steps, Ma Yongkang quickly stood up and made a round.

Isn't fighting against officials at this time just digging a grave for oneself?

"Wu Xianggong, the matter has come to this point, it is meaningless to say such words. The Ministry of Household has done its best. As for the food and salaries, the court will find a way. You just need to tell the court how many troops and how long it will take to quell the rebellion. "

Wu Lin looked at Ma Yongkang, was silent for a while, and finally let out a long sigh, and walked down the steps.

"3 people are too few, at least 5 people, three months is too tight, it will take at least five months."

Ma Yongkang nodded, knowing that this was Wu Lin's bottom line.

"The court will make every effort to provide Wu Xianggong with [-] troops for five months' rations, and please use your troops carefully."

"really?"

Wu Lin looked at Ma Yongkang and said, "The military affairs must not be slack off. If you have the slightest falsehood, Ma Xianggong, although you are helpful to me, I cannot tolerate you."

Ma Yongkang nodded.

"Military affairs, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, I still understand this point. If there is a mistake, I can't tolerate myself. Wu Xianggong, please rest assured."

"So, please."

Wu Lin cupped his hands towards Ma Yongkang, saluted Zhao Buxi again, glared at Jiang Fu, and turned to leave.

After Wu Lin left, Zhao Buxi looked at Ma Yongkang.

"Ma Qing, can you really guarantee the cost of [-] troops for five months?"

"Your Majesty, I think this is Wu Lin's bottom line. I think he will not lie on this kind of issue, and there is no need to lie."

Ma Yongkang said with a bitter smile: "We have no other way. We can only take one step and see one step. The bandit army must be wiped out. This is the premise, let's make it difficult."

"Xianggong, this is not a reluctance to say."

Jiang Fu smiled bitterly and said: "The treasury is really unsustainable. If you don't want a large number of people to starve to death in the coming year, this battle must be controlled, and you can't fight it, otherwise the court will run out of cooking before the battle is over. I can’t live anymore, money, I’m really short of money!”

Zhao Buxi let out a long sigh, rubbed his temples, and closed his eyes in pain.

"Great Song Guoyun, does it really end here?"

"Your Majesty, I once swore that even at the last breath, I will persevere, not only to protect Your Majesty, but also to protect the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty."

Ma Yongkang resolutely said: "My minister, please stop paying the official salary of the minister to supplement the country's use. The minister can farm the land with his family to survive, and he can survive without the official salary. Although the official salary of the minister is not too much, But it can also make Wu Xianggong's army a little more comfortable."

Zhao Buxi sighed very much after hearing Ma Yongkang's statement.

"If the court officials were as loyal to the monarch and the country as Ma Xianggong, how could the court have come to this stage? How could it have reached the point where they couldn't even pay the army's rations?"

Zhao Buxi said this, and kept gesturing to Jiang Fu with his eyes.

Ma Yongkang is already in high spirits, shouldn't you, the Minister of Household, immediately follow and set an example?You can't just stand there stupidly and say nothing, can you?Express it quickly!
Jiang Fu felt uncomfortable.

I finally flattered the emperor is it easy to be an official?
Do something to offend a large group of people, not to mention, and finally end up with no salary.

Although it is said that I don't need to live on my salary at all, but you are going to take away what should belong to me without saying a word, and you are forcing me to say it myself. Isn't this murderous?

Having said that, Jiang Fu can't say a word, and if he says nothing now, I'm afraid that in a few days, his family secretary will be gone.

In desperation, Jiang Fu had to "take the initiative" to express to Zhao Buxi that he was willing to hand over his salary to the imperial court, so that the imperial court could use it to tide over the difficulties. ...

"Jiang Qing's high style is a blessing in the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Buxi said something perfunctory, not as sincere as he praised Ma Yongkang before, and then let Jiang Fu leave to deal with the logistics of the army, and then said that he would entrust the government to Ma Yongkang and let Ma Yongkang take responsibility. Come.

"The next battle is the battle of life and death of the Great Song Dynasty, which is very important, so I decided to focus on the military and not be distracted, so the next political affairs still need more attention from Ma Xianggong."

Bye bye Ma Yongkang.

"I will do my best to share the worries for Your Majesty."

Zhao Buxi nodded, and then let Jiang Fu go first, leaving Ma Yongkang behind, and instructing Ma Yongkang to play Jiang Fu as a card when necessary.

"When Wu Lin questioned him, he didn't know how to defend me at all, he only knew how to defend himself, throwing me out, embarrassing both me and Wu Lin, such a person can't stay in a high position for a long time, wait until necessary When the time comes, he can be used to his final value.”

Ma Yongkang froze in his heart, and immediately understood what Zhao Buxi meant.

"The minister obeys the order."

He didn't say much, he only knew that he had to follow Zhao Bunyi's will in this matter, otherwise this one was Jiang Fu, and who was the next one?
But then again, this Jiang Fu is really a sloppy bastard.

At first, when he saw him vigorously promote the tax increase policy, Ma Yongkang thought he was at least a person who dared to do things, but now he has thrown the blame directly on the emperor's head. Do such things expect to continue to hold power?
The way of being an official is the way of taking the pot and throwing the pot away, how to take the pot, how to throw the pot, how to protect yourself, and how to get chestnuts out of the fire, these are all things that officials need to understand.

Especially when this pot involves a superior, it is even more necessary to know how to operate the skill of taking the pot and throwing the pot.

It's just that too few people know how to operate, and too many people make mistakes, so it is always difficult for people who have been in high positions since ancient times to die well.

Jiang Fu won't be the first person to lose his status or even his life because he can't handle the blame, nor will he be the last.

There are talented people in the country, and each has been a black pot for hundreds of years.

Ma Yongkang let out a long sigh, and suddenly felt that he was just a wind and rain paper craftsman. Although he tried his best to move up and down and move left and right, can this extremely broken Song Jiangshan really survive the ups and downs?

Ma Yongkang didn't know, but Zhao Bunyi had to preserve his ancestors.

Now there is only one orthodox Song Emperor in the whole world. He feels that the burden on his shoulders is very heavy. In any case, he must shoulder this burden and cannot let his ancestors be destroyed in his own hands.

So he decided to move the Privy Council to the side of his residence, and then opened a door between the two mansions to make it easier for him to handle the necessary government affairs. After passing the door, he could enter the Privy Council and discuss military affairs with Wu Lin and others. .

Zhao Buxi did what he said and said that he should focus his energy on the military. He focused his energy on the military, and only dealt with some necessary political issues, and delegated the rest to the Chengdu court led by Ma Yongkang. The Privy Council and the Privy Councillors discuss the military aircraft.

What was discussed, the civil servants in the imperial court were not notified. After a long time, the civil servants naturally had many opinions.
