Chapter 285 Emperor Yonghe: I am such a useless emperor!
"Dai Quan, I vaguely remember that you mentioned to me before that how many people sneaked into Jingyuan, but none of them came out?" Emperor Yonghe asked suddenly.
When Dai Quan heard this, he didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, according to the statistics of Jin Yiwei, so far, a total of 370 people have entered the Jingyuan, and no one has ever been seen coming out."
He seemed to feel that Emperor Yonghe wanted to ask something, so he added another sentence.
"By the way, if you add the people on the Umbrella boat who sneaked into the port, it will be 830 or four people."
Why did the emperor ask this?
Didn't he report it already?
Is there any necessary connection between this and Umbrella's declaration of war?
As soon as Dai Quan finished speaking, he suddenly found a eunuch gesturing to him outside, which meant to report something.
"Your Majesty, there may be news from outside, old slave"
"Okay, hurry up and get it." Emperor Yonghe waved his hand and said, then fell into deep thought again.
"Here."
Not long after, Dai Quan came back.
His complexion was very ugly, and he was too timid to speak, which provoked Emperor Yonghe to kick him when he went up.
"What are you pretending to be, you dog slave? Come on, what news is coming from outside?"
Dai Quan said with a face full of fear: "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the report from the spies, the person who was sent to inform Jingyuan before was killed long ago, and the murderer, who was the one who sent the message, also hanged himself after returning .”
"Our people found the greeting card. Although it has been burned, it can be vaguely seen that it is the one prepared by the empress."
"That is to say, Umbrella's people are not lying. There are indeed thieves who want to plot against me today."
"Um???"
Is this the time to hold Umbrella up for not lying?
Does an overseas country dare to take the initiative to conflict with Dagan?
How many loads should I give them to try?
Is it still necessary to check?
Don't I know this?
After talking about these useless things, why not talk about the crux of the problem?
Emperor Yonghe said coldly: "That is to say, after the person is dead, you have no clues?"
Dai Quanqi said aiai: "This, slave, slave let them continue to investigate, but there are too few clues, it may take some time."
He didn't want to do that either.
If someone clearly wants to harm you, what other clues can you find?
Judging from the death of all the important witnesses involved in this matter, it seems that people have already made precautionary preparations. How could they be given the opportunity to find out anything.
It's just that you can't just answer Emperor Yonghe like this.
Otherwise, the one who suffers is himself.
However, Emperor Yonghe didn't care so much.
Too few clues?
Is there really no such thing?
"waste!"
Yong and Diqi didn't fight together, berserk like a wounded wild boar, and dropped something.
However, he also knows that because the Jinyiwei under his command is just a part of the original, um, the most ineffective part.
As for this, it was rewarded to him in a moment of joy during the Taishang Emperor's birthday two years ago.
Speaking of which, Jinyiwei is divided into overt and covert personnel.
Ordinarily, after the emperor succeeded to the throne, the emperor's eagles and dogs like Jin Yiwei had to obey the new emperor's words.
One emperor and one courtier.
However, as we all know, the Supreme Emperor does not speak, and no one dares to move.
Jinyiwei recognizes badges but not people. This is the rule left when Jinyiwei was founded.
Of course, if some special circumstances happened and the emperor came forward to find someone, it would be impossible not to listen.
However, the current situation is too complicated. The emperor wants Jinyiwei people to listen to him. Even if there is no brand, he must be able to find talents.
It's a pity, what does Jin Yiwei do?
It's so easy for people to find out, and it's of great use.
Of course, Emperor Yonghe didn't think about secretly getting some spies like Jin Yiwei as his own private power.
However, the lack of money and the lack of teaching from those special masters, on the one hand, the manpower obtained is small, and on the other hand, it is not useful at all. At most, it can only control the palace, and it is only the safety of his place.
Well, that’s right, they are all eunuchs.
At least, you can't let everything in the palace be spread to the outside world.
There were such examples in the previous dynasty. How could Emperor Yonghe be so relieved?
Although the emperor had some private money in his private treasury, it was all his eunuchs who came here for personal gain, how much could there be.
And he had to squeeze it out from time to time to use it in major national affairs, such as paying food and salaries to Jiubian, otherwise his position as emperor would not be secure.
As for the money in the royal treasury, either it was given away by the Supreme Emperor long ago, or it was secretly taken away by the Supreme Emperor, leaving him with an almost empty house.
No money, no one, no military power, this emperor deserves it, what a f*cking taste.
Especially in recent years, the Taishang Huang had the intention of meddling in the government. From time to time, he called ministers and dignitaries into the palace, and rewarded some old people from the previous dynasty with playthings, making it clear that he wanted to divide his rights.
Don't think about it, the corruption in many places, including tax evasion by salt merchants, has been secretly mixed in by the emperor.
This is the Taishanghuang's forte, otherwise, it is less than a hundred years since the founding of the country, how could the treasury be so impoverished.
In which dynasty or generation was it not when the country was first founded, the founding emperors did things with heart, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fully supported them, and then all subsequent emperors enjoyed the blessings. Does it look like ZTE?
However, Taishanghuang is different.
The Taishanghuang was also a wise king when he was young, and he was thriving, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the internal treasury was full and a new one was built.
But when the Taishanghuang was in his later years, he started to enjoy himself and didn't think about making progress.
Large sums of money were poured out like water, luxury became common, and the court was in a mess.
The officials were corrupt and the people were displaced and poor, so that those princes and others all had their own ideas, and it ended up in the end.
Tell me, under such circumstances, how could Emperor Yonghe be happy after taking over a mess?
Forbearance.
It doesn't work if you don't bear it.
Before he sat on this throne, he was nothing at that time. He was just a little transparent person who shivered all day long for fear that one day he would be pulled out and imprisoned.
It was hard to wait until the princes who held great power and were most likely to inherit the throne were gone, and when the Supreme Emperor became seriously ill, he had to abdicate the throne.
It was his turn to pick up the bargain and get the position. He wanted to stand up and call the shots and do a big job.
The results of it?
It’s a mess, it’s such a mess.
He asked for money, but there was no money, and the court ministers cried to him all day long, saying that mice could run away from the treasury.
What should I do if I have no money?
Do the people want to live?
Should the ministers be paid?
Do the people under his hands drink the northwest wind?
Well, in the end, Emperor Yonghe had no choice but to rely on selling officials and nobles, and asked his subordinates to clearly mark the prices of some unimportant positions, and then he was relieved.
But what?
When discussing government affairs, he may want to do something. One person says that the ancestral system does not allow it, and the other person says that it is inappropriate, just don't take him seriously.
Why?
Is the Supreme Emperor still dead?
The ministers are all the hands of the Supreme Emperor, who would listen to him.
Don't think that the emperor's words are easy to use. The people taught by Confucianism are not as upright as the next generation, and they all want to compete with the emperor for power.
Not to mention that there is the support of the Supreme Emperor behind him, no one listens to him, the emperor, are they all killed or demoted?
Believe it or not, all the ministers will have to retire and return to their hometowns, and the world will be in chaos?
Even if he has a few confidants, but he has no place in the imperial court, and he can't stand up if he can't get up.
No, in the end he had no choice but to find Lin Ruhai and send him to Yangzhou to collect the salt tax, at least secretly get him some pocket money or something, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything.
Lin Ruhai is originally from Jiangnan, the Lin family has some connections here, and other forces have to give some face.
As for the military power, it was the basis for the emperor to protect his country. Without military power, he would not speak hard, but he didn't have it, at least he didn't have a confidant in charge of many soldiers.
This is a little bit big, you have to ask the Supreme Emperor for advice on everything you do, or you won't be able to do things.
He also said in his heart, don't worry, just bear with it, there will always be a chance to change after the Supreme Emperor.
But who would have imagined that in the past few years, the Supreme Emperor has gradually recovered from his illness, can drink and have fun, and even accepted a few concubines at a very old age. Tell me, this is so worrying!
How useless this emperor is!
What?
Emperor Yonghe could only smash his teeth and swallow his blood, and play tricks to make the Supreme Emperor happy.
The country ruled the world with filial piety, and as long as the Supreme Emperor was still around, talking to Emperor Yonghe would not be as easy as other people farting.
After finally learning about Umbrella, Emperor Yong and Emperor immediately became concerned and had some ideas.
As a result, the Supreme Emperor had to follow, otherwise the court would not be able to negotiate.
Well, of course, Emperor Yonghe was also worried about leaving the Supreme Emperor in the capital of God.
In case the Supreme Emperor got hotheaded and staged a coup d'état or something while he was leaving the Shendu Palace, that would be troublesome.
Therefore, he will agree to this matter.
But who would have imagined that just as they were about to break off relations with Umbrella, someone secretly set up black hands to sabotage it.
Now that it's still getting into a fight with Umbrella, the feeling of grievance and awkwardness in my heart is very unpleasant.
It's not that Umbrella is afraid of doing a lot of work, the main reason is that Emperor Yonghe still wants to have a good relationship with Umbrella and change the current difficult situation.
But, hey, I have a headache.
After a good breath, Emperor Yonghe calmed down.
"Why are you still standing there?"
"Go and find out the news with Xia Shouzhong, and see who is responsible for it."
Emperor Yonghe knew that Dai Quan's manpower would not be able to find out anything famous, so he could only ask him to seek advice from Xia Shouzhong, the chief eunuch next to the Supreme Emperor.
No way, who would let someone have Jin Yiwei in their hands? The source of news is much better than him, the emperor.
Anyway, this is a matter involving the dignity of the royal family, so it is not shameful to ask the old man for help.
"Here." Dai Quanhan replied without daring to wipe his ground.
Emma, the old emperor is just not easy to serve.
Well, the one who can get out of here alive today is already blessed by the ancestors.
After Dai Quan left, Emperor Yonghe began to think about King Umbrella's desire to perform martial arts again.
According to the news from Jin Yiwei, Jing Yuan, no, it should be said that Umbrella has a large number of people, except for the people on the boat at the port, there are only about [-] people.
How dare he challenge Dagan, and even clamored to perform martial arts with life and death?
Emperor Yonghe didn't care about such nonsense for the sake of Umbrella's dignity.
There is no benefit, how can an emperor use force easily?
If Umbrella loses, isn't he afraid of Daqian directly taking over Jingyuan?
Just kidding, the king of a country is in the hands of a foreign country, so why would you dare not give it to you?
Could it be that Umbrella is very confident about performing martial arts?
Do you think that those 100 men can defeat Daqian's 1 troops?
If Lin Ruhai didn't lie, no, Umbrella's king didn't brag, if Umbrella won this martial arts performance, what would Dagan do?
What tricks will Umbrella play?
Emperor Yonghe couldn't help thinking about the problem from the perspective of King Umbrella.
If he was the king of Umbrella instead, why did he have to make such a fuss when he was absolutely confident that he could win?
Well, on the one hand, he was dissatisfied with the queen's actions today, and wanted to give a warning to let Daqian know that Umbrella is not easy to mess with, which will be beneficial to the subsequent negotiations.
On the other hand, I want to warn Dagan, don't think that you have a large number of people, so you want to do something crooked, if you are not afraid of death, then do a big job.
That's right, Umbrella's people are very few in action after all, it is necessary to show force, lest the court and even the royal family get confused.
This is also a warning, and even a threat to some extent.
As for whether there are other ideas, Emperor Yonghe is not clear.
We can only find out when we meet and talk later.
Wait, almost forgot.
This time, it costs a lot for people to eat horse chews.
Needless to say, the national treasury is basically empty, and even the Supreme Emperor has given some financial and material support, and the internal treasury is already empty.
If the 1 horses lose, it means that they will lose a large sum of money as pensions or something, otherwise how to stabilize the morale of the army?
No, he can't make the decision on this matter. He has to inform the Supreme Emperor and the court ministers.
Anyway, they may already know what happened today, whether to fight or not, this should not be discussed.
You can't just take over the little money from the Bai family from Lin Ruhai, and then lose it after changing hands?
Don't even think about it!
Isn't it a joke to let a person who has been poor for a long time distribute all the prize money from the first prize?
As long as it is not a fool, who would do this?
By the way, about the queen, maybe we can use this opportunity to find a few rich families who don't like it, and copy their families and exterminate their families, right?
Emperor Yonghe rolled his eyes, and immediately prepared to meet the Supreme Emperor.
After all, without the support of the Supreme Emperor, he would not be able to do such a thing.
When it got out, outsiders thought he, the emperor, was poor and crazy, messing around.
Cough cough, even if this is the case, the face of the imperial court and the royal family must be preserved.
Who told him that when he promised to meet and communicate with Umbrella, it would bring huge benefits to Daqian, and even enrich the national treasury?
Therefore, when necessary, there is no benefit to compromise.
