travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 84

Standing in the upper study room, Zhao Fei frowned and looked at the memorial in front of him. It was a document urgently delivered from Babaili, Jiangxi County.

"Let's talk about it!" Zhao Fei held the memorial in his hands and sat on the chair in thought.

In the hall from the Qin Hui down, Liu Yong and the six ministers were all present, and all of them were frowning.

Seeing Zhao Fei's question, Qin Hui took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, this White Lotus Sect's disturbance is by no means a trivial matter. The imperial court should immediately send capable ministers to Jiangxi County to suppress it."

Since ancient times, there have been many demons and evil spirits, and some people with malicious intentions always like to come out and make some strange remarks when people encounter disasters, such as the end of the world, and they must be included in my religion in order to obtain eternal life and salvation.

These things are naturally fake. If your religion is so awesome, what are you still doing in the mortal world?Why don't you go to become a fairy?

You said you want to save sentient beings?

Well, you have such a high awareness, but you are more enlightened than any well-known god in the world, but why didn't you become a famous god with such a high awareness?
Eight hundred miles in Jiangxi County hastened, saying that a group of remnants of the White Lotus Sect are currently active in Jiangxi County, deceiving people's hearts.

The White Lotus Sect has a history of thousands of years, and many cults in the novels like to use the name White Lotus Sect.

Ever since, for thousands of years, anyone who wanted to gather crowds to make trouble liked to use the name White Lotus Sect. Who was the founder of the White Lotus Sect has long been buried in the dust of history.

As a person from later generations, I naturally understand that this religion cannot be banned, because there will always be people who believe in it. As a national level, since it cannot be banned, then it must be controlled in the hands, so that this religion that might have been Thing that threatens oneself becomes a sword in one's hand.

However, this is not a simple matter and needs to be considered in the long run, and this kind of thinking is also inconsistent with today's mainstream thinking.

Thinking about the ministers in the palace today, almost all of them were born as scholars, and what they talked about was a sense of grandeur, so they absolutely did not believe in the so-called ghosts and ghosts.

So when Qin Hui opened his mouth, he sent people to arrest and behead all the people.

Qin Hui's point of view was agreed by most of the ministers, and Zhao Fei saw that everyone had the same opinion, so he said, "Is there anything I don't want to say?"

Liu Yong's eyes flashed, and he stood up.

"Liu Aiqing, do you have any disagreement?" Zhao Fei asked.

"I don't have any different opinions. I agree with Master Qin's point of view. For these bewitching people, we should use thunder to frighten them." Liu Yong shook his head, and said: "It's just that I suddenly remembered another thing. "

"What's the matter?" Zhao Fei looked at Liu Yong suspiciously, and other ministers also showed curiosity.

Liu Yong pondered for a while, and said: "I think of the past dynasties, when the White Lotus Sect makes troubles, they usually don't just make troubles in one place. They usually have three ways, one is to bloom everywhere, one is to sneak through Chencang, and the third is to make troubles. It’s a combination of the two.”

"Tell me specifically." Zhao Fei frowned.

"The first type is blooming everywhere, that is, the white lotus believers make an appointment, and then they will cause troubles in all parts of the world at the same time within a period of time, while the second type is secretly making troubles in a certain place in the world to attract the court. Attention, in private, is to do other things, and the third is to attract and disperse the attention and power of the imperial court by means of blooming everywhere, and then concentrate the elite power in private to achieve the real goal." Liu Yong said loudly. : "These three ways have happened many times in the past hundreds of years, and each time caused great losses to the court, so we have to guard against it."

"Well, I understand what you mean, that is to say, the White Lotus Sect will definitely not only cause trouble in Jiangxi County." Zhao Fei nodded, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

Qin Hui and others also showed signs of thought, and finally Wang Qinian of the Ministry of War stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, these young people only dare to make trouble behind their backs, but there is nothing to worry about. If they dare to make trouble, the son of the Ministry of War Let them regret coming to this world."

"Your Majesty Wang's words are true." Lin Wanrong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although the court is not afraid of such petty crimes, it has to be guarded against. I suggest that all states and counties in the world pay attention to precautions. Once there are any signs, Then they directly arrested people at the nearest guard."

Upon seeing this, Qin Hui nodded and said, "I second the words of the two lords."

"Since the three of you have said so, let's do what you want." Zhao Fei said, "I heard that Amit has already gone to Hangu Pass."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Qin Hui nodded and said, "The imperial court has already made an agreement with him, and now he will go to Hangu Pass first to draw up the route map to the Eagle Tribe and the front-line generals."

"That's it." Zhao Fei nodded and said, "Then keep an eye on him, and don't let him make any trouble."

"I will obey the order." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then is there anything else?" Zhao Fei asked again.

All the ministers looked at each other, and finally Zhao Zilong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Amit has already delivered the agreed part of the silver to the Ministry of Households. May I ask your Majesty how to use the money."

"It's so fast," Zhao Fei muttered to himself, and then said, "How much money?"

"80 pieces of fur of various colors, 80 taels of silver." Zhao Zilong said: "This fur is nothing more than that, please show your Majesty how to deal with the [-] taels of silver."

"Well," Zhao Fei frowned and said, "Have all the salaries owed to the officials by the imperial court been paid?"

"The income from raiding the casino is enough to pay the officials' salaries." Zhao Zilong replied.

"The imperial court is not short of hungry soldiers. Now the imperial court is employing people. I don't want what happened last time." Zhao Fei looked at the crowd lightly, raised his eyebrows and said: "Is there any urgent need for money in the imperial court?" place?"

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs' Reporting Department needs to renovate the Jardine Garden, the Hangu Pass Reporting Department needs to repair the city wall, Jinyiwei applies for office funds for the next quarter, and the north needs an additional 30 disaster relief funds. Rewards, the Ministry of Criminal Justice applies for funds to bring death row prisoners from all over the country to Beijing for final trial..." Zhao Zilong rapped one after another where the money was needed.

Zhao Fei only listened to it for a while, and then he knew that there was nothing to ask about this question. Although the household department received a new sum of money, it was still a drop in the bucket compared to the huge financial gap.

Looking at Zhao Zilong who looked a bit embarrassed, Zhao Fei immediately understood what this fellow was thinking. Although he was the God of Wealth of the imperial court, he was also embarrassed by the hands stretched out to him from all over the world!
There's only so much money, whoever you say you don't want to offend the people who didn't get the money!
"I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that need to be dealt with, so I will take a step first. As for how to spend the money, I would like to make two points. First, the repair of the Jardine Garden can be postponed. I will tell the Queen Mother that the second Jinyiwei The office expenses will be cut from the household department, and will not be allocated from the court in the future." Zhao Fei said quickly: "As for how to spend the money, you ministers should discuss it. The court can't have everything to be decided by me, you guys As my right-hand man, but I need to share my worries, dear friends, please bear with me."

Qin Hui and the others smiled wryly. If they could really discuss it, they would ask Zhao Fei to do something. Fortunately, Zhao Fei also said that the matter of Yihe Garden and Jinyiwei was not included in the budget, which saved them a lot of trouble.

Zhao Fei, who has gradually become accustomed to being a hands-off shopkeeper, no longer has the slightest psychological burden to hand over these headaches to his ministers.

Walking in the palace, Zhao Fei said with a light smile: "Although these guys don't say anything on the face, they must have complaints against me in their hearts."

"My lords are all loyal and patriotic, and will never complain to Your Majesty." Anping followed Zhao Fei and said with a smile.

"Hehe, you slave, don't say good things for them. It's fine to complain. It's human nature. I don't blame them." Zhao Fei laughed and said, "I saw you were winking at me just now, but what's the matter?" matter?"

"Look at this note, the slave just forgot a major event and almost delayed His Majesty's affairs." Anping slammed his head hard, and said with some annoyance: "Your Majesty, Princess Gong is asking to see you."

"Prince Gong?" Zhao Fei was stunned and said in confusion: "She should go to see the queen, not me!"

There is a set of etiquette in the imperial palace. The empress is the head of the harem, not only responsible for managing the daily operation of the palace, but also responsible for receiving the female relatives of the royal family.

As the wife of Prince Gong, according to regulations, Princess Gong only needs to meet the queen when she enters the palace. Unless there are special circumstances, it is not in accordance with etiquette to meet the emperor.

Could it be because of Prince Gong's affairs?
Zhao Fei frowned. Although he had arrested the two princes, it only involved them and the casino under their name, and did not touch their families.

It's not that he doesn't want to move, but that he hasn't figured out how to deal with them yet.

"The princess is for Prince Gong's business?" Zhao Fei cast his eyes on Anping.

Anping nodded and said: "The servant heard that the concubine went to the empress's place early in the morning, and then came to your majesty's place. After hearing the reports from the eunuchs, it seems that it is indeed because of Prince Gong's affairs."

"It's not easy to deal with!" Zhao Fei frowned deeply into a well.

According to the law of the court, the crime of Prince Gong is only enough to disturb the court, because of his status as a relative of the emperor, it is impossible to expel him from the royal post, at most it is enough to be banned, if the emperor is easy to talk, at most he will be reprimanded , and then put them home for the elderly.

According to Zhao Fei's intention, it is to lock people up like this first, and collect evidence in private, in short, the princes of all ministries have nothing to say in the end.

And because of this, although Prince Gong was arrested by Zhao Fei, Prince Gong was still Prince Gong and Zhao Fei's cousin, and Princess Gong was naturally Zhao Fei's cousin.

When the cousin asks to see her, she has to see her, as it is not in accordance with etiquette if she does not see her.

But if I see her, I have to give her an explanation, otherwise I have no reason to keep her husband locked up.

Difficult!

Zhao Fei sighed, let Anping lead the way, and went to meet this long-famous cousin.
