Empress work daily

Chapter 108

The public readings of Qin and Song were at a loss. What did Yin Qilei mean when he mentioned King Ji at the end?
What does the rebellion of King Yong have to do with King Ji?
The two of them looked at Ji Qiang, then at Jiang Youpan, recalling just now, they seemed to have vaguely guessed something inside, that old fox Jiang Youpan probably knew the inside story.

At this time, Tang Chongjian bumped into Jiang Yousi's shoulder frequently, asking him to tell him something, but Jiang Yousi didn't have the time to pay attention.

Qin Guogong cleared his throat and raised his voice to tell everyone about the current situation in Yongzhou.

From the morning to the present, the ministers were in a state of turmoil, and the oppressive feeling of wolves in front and tigers in back almost made them breathless.

"Your Majesty, I recommend the King of Wuling County as the general in front of the battle, and lead his troops to the north to kill King Yong and put down the rebellion."

Qin Guogong's frustrating tone seemed to give everyone a lot of courage, yes, with the King of Wuling and [-] elite soldiers, what are they afraid of?
The king of the county is the son of the Marquis of Zhennan. He entered the military camp with his father since he was a child. The power of the battle array is infinite, and all the Chinese troops are called to train hard every day, and they have achieved little success.

Thinking of this, the confidence of the officials increased again.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Ji Qiang still didn't respond, until a voice that was more urgent than the urgent report just now came from afar, and she regained her senses and got up slowly.

"Report! Jizhou is [-] miles away! The northern army is going south, and the northern border is fighting!"

"Report!! Jizhou [-] li urgently!! Bei Rong goes south, the battle begins in northern Xinjiang!!"

"..."

The sound came from far to near, and it fell on the ears of the officials, like a magic sound from hell, directly hitting their fragile viscera.

How many disasters will God send to their increasingly weak beams?
Ji Qiang and Jiang Yousi couldn't help but look at each other, and both the monarch and his subjects felt the deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

It's not that the king of Ji didn't reinforce Yongzhou, but he was held back by the Beirong people and couldn't get away.

Not only can they not get away, but if the imperial court does not provide reinforcements, the King of Ji's [-] troops will not be able to fight against the Beirong's [-] cavalry.

The [-] cavalry of the Beirong mentioned in the Ji Wang Memorial really made Ji Qiang and the officials tremble with fear. It turned out that the Beirong was already so powerful at this time!

"As for the plague in Jingzhou, just as I said just now, I ordered the Imperial Hospital to go south immediately to Jingzhou for treatment. The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War will submit the specific rescue plan to me before sunset."

As soon as Ji Qiang's words fell to the ground, Qin Guogong immediately opened his eyes and said: "Your Majesty! Do you still insist on building the canal at this time?"

"Yes. Don't say that Bei Rong invaded in disorder, King Yong rebelled, even if the sky falls, this canal must continue to be repaired!"

"Fix the big river canal, and when the old days really collapse, there will still be a little rescue for the big beam."

"If you don't repair it, when God really collapses, Daliang will be waiting for the country to perish."

She said the words that had been echoing in her heart for several months in a calm tone, which shocked all the officials.

What did not happen, the monarch is so sure, is this the so-called "secret"?

According to Duke Qin's wishes, the fortification of the Dajiang Canal was suspended, and the 200 million taels of silver sent to Jingzhou a few days ago can be withdrawn first and used as military funds to relieve the urgent need.

Why Ji Qiang didn't understand Qin Guogong's plan, but she threw the monarch's face on the ground and raised the 200 million taels almost "shamelessly" from civil and military officials and businessmen for the purpose of repairing the canal. How is it possible now? Want to get back the money that was sent out?
What's more, there was a plague in Jingzhou again, and it was time for Qin Sangluo to use silver.

Money is needed to build canals, money is needed to deal with plagues, money is needed to suppress rebellion, and money is needed to fight against the enemy... money, money, money!

But Daliang has no money!
Seeing that the ministers were speechless, Ji Qiang said again: "I think Duke Qin's proposal is feasible, so I ordered the king of Wuling County to be the general in front of the battle, to rectify the troops, and lead the troops to the north in three days, join the king of Ji, and attack Beirong directly!"

"Hubu, I have a two-day limit to raise 50 stones of food and grass, and go north one day before the army departs."

"Retreat!"

Qin Guogong: "..."

Tang Chongjian: "..."

Civil and military officials: "..."

Your Majesty has escaped!

After their majesty kicked the "ball" to them impassionedly, he fled from the corner gate in full view...

After Qin Guogong came back to his senses, he went to "block" immediately, calling "Your Majesty" in his mouth, but Ji Qiang walked in a straight line, and he had to go around half a circle. When he arrived at the corner gate, Huang Shang and Shang Liujia were together Block the door.

Shang Liujia persuaded with a half-smile: "Grandpa, please stop, Your Majesty is going to have breakfast."

Qin Guogong's beard was almost raised, and he could only watch helplessly as Ji Qiang boarded the imperial gate and left in a hurry.

"Hmph, she also knows that she needs to eat, so why doesn't she need to eat during a war? Things are so important, why doesn't she know what to do?" Qin Guogong sighed angrily, not caring that someone might take the opportunity to inform Ji Qiang for impeachment.

In fact, apart from Qin Shima and Zhao Gan, no one was on Ji Qiang's side.

The officials couldn't understand Ji Qiang's persistence in repairing the canal. Although her last few words frightened them at the time, but after thinking about it afterwards, they still thought that what Qin Guogong said was right. They didn't know whether the sky was falling or not, but Now that the Northern Rong invaded and the King Yong's rebellion was true, true and false, false and true, between the two, they must choose the truth!

"Master Tang, Your Majesty asks you for 60 shi..." Qin Guogong complained for a moment, then turned his attention to Tang Chongjian.

Before he finished speaking, Tang Chongjian spread his hands and said, "Master Guo, how much silver and how much grain is in the treasury are public. If you don't believe me, you can follow the officials to check the accounts in the yamen right now. Who else is there?" ... and go with the officials together!"

"A few days ago when the market was closed in the Western Region, Your Majesty asked me to ask for 50 taels to support the reclamation of barren fields. You all know that? The refugees came to Beijing, from disaster relief food to house construction and daily necessities. Ten thousand taels. Before the refugees entered Beijing, the Ministry of Household Affairs distributed relief food to Yongzhou twice, totaling 20 shi. Afterwards, the general led the troops into Yongzhou and brought another 20 shi. One by one, the piles flowed out It’s all white money, real grain!”

When Tang Chongjian spoke, Qin Guogong was speechless, and others had nothing to say. There was no way, the iron rooster really had no money. In his previous words, his iron rooster was really bald now.

However, Tang Chongjian hadn't finished speaking, "If the Duke of the country and all his colleagues have to force the Ministry of Households to fight with silver, it's okay...the salary for next month will not be paid out, not to mention the salary, it's just this guarantee." I can't afford the lamp oil for the Hedian."

Tang Chongjian confessed his truth to everyone, all the officials were silent, they only did their work and didn't get any money. Could it be that everyone from one family to another went to eat and drink?

"Let's go and find His Majesty! No matter what, we must get back the 200 million taels for the construction of the canal!" Qin Guogong was heartbroken and prepared to lead everyone to the Hall of Yangyuan.

Qin Shima opened his arms to block his way, and before he could utter the word "Father", he slapped Qin Guogong hard, causing his head to burn and hurt.

"Bastard! How dare you block your father's way!"

"Father... Anyway, today is His Majesty's birthday, so you can let His Majesty have a meal at ease."

When Qin Shima "begged", Zhao Gan quietly slipped behind the team, ready to escape.

Look at this battle, Shang Liujia and the others are determined to be unable to hold back, and need his support from the Habayashi Guard.

As soon as Zhao Gan stepped out of the threshold with one foot, Duke Qin jumped into a rage and said, "Zhao Gan! Why are you running? Believe it or not, I'll talk to Marquis Wu'an right now!"

When Qin Guogong yelled, Zhao Gan ran faster, and felt the wind whistling in his ears all the way, whistling past...
