Chapter 299 Advance and retreat

"To the Empress, Weichen has a strategy that may be able to solve this knot."

I don't know how long the unbearable silence lasted. Queen Wu and Li Xian were still in a stalemate. Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, but Liu Yizhi came out of the back of the civil officer queue, quickly walked to the hall, and said loudly.

"Oh? What's the good policy for Liu Aiqing? Let's talk about it with me.

Li Xian's tough attitude was obviously beyond the expectation of the martial arts queen. Originally, in his calculation, if Li Xian was interested in the position of prince, he would not dare to resist himself in court. He could use the construction of the mausoleum to suppress Li Xian fiercely, but he never expected that Li Xian dared to be strong in court. Under the miscalculation, he This stalemate has become. Even if Wu is more intelligent, he can't find a way to compromise with each other under such circumstances. When he is anxious, he suddenly sees Liu Yizhi coming out. Queen Wu will not let go of this opportunity to solve the problem, so she immediately cut off and asks.

"To enlighten the Empress, I think that it may be difficult to find a perfect solution, but the mausoleum of 'filial piety to the emperor' must also be repaired. If you can repay the strength of the people who are requited with profit, it seems that you can avoid the suspicion of disturbing the people. Please make it clear."

The main purpose of Liu Yizhi's intercommunication at this time is to solve the dilemma of the martial arts queen. As for the solution, in fact, I really didn't think about it very carefully. What he said is no ordinary means, and there is nothing surprising.

Children's opinion! Li Xian has a memory of three generations, and how rich the experience in government affairs is. As soon as he hears it, he knows that Liu Yizhi's words are just full of firewood. It can't be used to solve practical problems at all. There is nothing else. It is feasible to use profit to compensate for the loss of the people. The problem is how much this benefit to satisfy the conscripted people. Obviously, If hundreds of thousands of people want to make up for it in a year, the number of words is really amazing, not to mention that it costs the boss to build a mausoleum. As far as the actual situation of the current treasury is concerned, how can it stand Liu Yizhi's to toss like this, but, it's clear that Li Xian doesn't intend to make a statement, and he doesn't intend to After the stalemate with the Empress Wu, he took the opportunity to step aside, which was the end of the fierce conflict with the Empress Wu.

"Well, Liu Aiqing's proposal is quite good. I don't know what you Aiqing think?"

Empress Wu naturally also saw the problem of Liu Yizhi's words. However, in order to end the conflict, Empress Wu also did not break the matter, but looked around at the ministers in the hall and asked gently.

"My wife, Weichen has something unclear. I want to ask Liu about the benefit of compensation, and where should it come from?"

Officials who can get to the courtier level are not fools. Most people see the loopholes in Liu Yi's words, but everyone has just recovered from the strong resistance between Queen Wu and Li Xian. No one wants to stand up for trouble at this time. Even the five prime ministers pretend to be mute at the same time, but the new one Pei Yan, the left servant of the Ministry of Household, obviously does not have this blessing - it's not that Pei Yan doesn't want to keep silent, but that he can't. Because the minister of the Ministry of Household is Yan Liben, who has been kicked out of the palace, but in fact, the person in charge of the Ministry of the Household is Pei Yan. The matter of the entry and exit of the treasury should be handled by the Ministry of Household. If it is really done according to Liu Yizhi's method, The bottom of the Ministry of Household was not enough to use. As a last resort, Pei Yan had to stand up and sing a reverse tune.

"This..."

Although Liu Yizhi has been an official of five grades, in fact, he has no local experience. It is completely due to the super promotion of the Empress Dowager of Wu. The literary talent is outstanding, but in practice, he is not good enough. When asked by Pei Yan, he was dumbfounded and couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Pei Aiqing, what is the balance of the treasury now? If it is calculated according to the recruitment of 100,000 people, how much compensation does each household need to be compensated after two years of tax exemption? Can the treasury be used?"

After one of He Lanmin's cases, there are not many people that Queen Wu can rely on today. Previously, Ming Chongyan was just hit by all the ministers and workers. At this time, as soon as he saw Liu Yizhi, he would also face the same fate. Queen Wu could not be stable and had to say a word, which was a barely relieved of Liu Yizhi's suffering.

"The Empress, there was a great drought in Guanzhong the year before last, and more than 40 states were harvested. The immigration fee was quite huge, so that the surplus accumulated over the years was lost. In the past year, he was in trouble in Hebei again. Thirty-two disaster victims rose one after another. Fortunately, the southern states still had a good year, which was barely equalized. For example, today's balance is less than 350,000,212. After deducting the salaries of each magistrate, only more than 135,000 can be used before the summer grain is put into storage. If it is calculated by requisitioning 100,000 people, even if it is exempted from two years of tax, each person needs to make up seven to ensure that each family will not starve in the coming year. In this way, the total number of vacancies is as high as 56,000, if it is calculated again. The total amount of vacancy for the construction of the mausoleum will be more than one million. I really can't raise it. Please forgive me. Pei Yan was meticulous in nature. Even in the face of the always strong Empress Wu, he had no fear at all. He pointed his fingers and reported the bill in a hurry.

"Boom..."

I really don't know. I was shocked when I heard it. I didn't expect that today's treasury had been exhausted to such a field. For a while, the buzzing sound of discussion began to make a big deal.

"It's difficult for Pei Aiqing. The palace also knows that this matter is quite difficult, but your majesty's intention has been decided, and no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done. Well, from now on, the owner of the inner palace will be halved from the palace, and the remaining amount will be used as compensation. In addition, another 300,000 yuan will be allocated to the construction of the mausoleum. There are two, so There may be some difference in the balance, and I will try to do it again. Queen Wu didn't know much about the situation of the treasury. Hearing Pei Yan's statement, her head immediately hurt a little. She didn't want to be so extravagan to build a mausoleum. However, she had previously suppressed Li Xian with the matter of Jianling. At this moment, she couldn't show the meaning of not building. She could only grit her teeth and think of a way to go from the inner treasury. Raised money.

"I have no objection to the emperor."

But the money was not from the treasury, so Pei Yan was relieved that he would not argue more with Queen Wu. He hurriedly answered and retreated.

Do you want to do it again? It's just a joke. In this way, the gap is still more than 600,000 yuan. This is not a small amount. How can it be so easy to make up? There are only more than 300,000 yuan left in the old man's internal treasury, and they are all out. Can't all the people in the inner palace drink the northwest wind? Li Xian doesn't believe that Queen Wu can raise so much money at all. It is very likely to play the trick of playing white strips. He doesn't want to pick up such a job that is obviously hot potato. Although after the previous disturbance, Queen Wu may not dare to put such a garbage work into her arms. She is not afraid of ten thousand. Just in case, Li Xian He didn't want to fall into the dilemma of being passively beaten again, so he quietly gave a secret code to He Long, the chief of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"The Empress is deeply righteous, benevolent and benevolent. In fact, it is a rare great kindness in ancient times. Weichen is very impressed. Now the matter has been decided. When a stable person is in charge of the matter, Liu can have such a wonderful idea in the matter, and he must have a constitution in mind. Weichen proposed that Liu give the whole matter to preside over the overall situation. You can make sure that there is no mistake in this matter, and ask the Empress to make a decision. He Long was an old man in the British royal palace. He always looked at Li Xian's horse. When he saw that Li Xian gave a secret code, he immediately stood up knowingly. First, he patted Wu Hou, and then the words turned around and rudely put the construction of the mausoleum on Liu Yi's head.

"Your Majesty is holy and clear. Why did you say that? With Liu's talent in the matter, you will definitely live up to the trust of your majesty and your mother."

"Mother, I think it's a big deal. I can't do it if it's only Liu. I hope the Empress can make it clear."

"My wife, I all think that Liu is a stable person and talented in the matter, and he really bears such a heavy responsibility."

......

As soon as He Long opened his mouth, Lin Mingdu and others did not dare to neglect. They stood up one after another and echoed loudly. Immediately, the original prince's first series of officials also coaxed, and for a moment, the court discussion was already on one side.

"Liu Aiqing, all the public say that you are virtuous and capable. Do you dare to do this?"

Empress Wu didn't expect Li Xian's counterattack to come so fast and so fierce. For a moment, she looked a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't have an attack. She was in a bad mood. After allowing the ministers and workers to make enough noise, she raised her hands and pressed, signaling everyone to silence, and looked a little distracted. Liu Yizhi asked in a flat tone.

"Weichen..., Weichen should do his best."

Liu Yizhi is not stupid. How could he not know that the governor of the mausoleum was a hot potato? He didn't want to take over from his heart. As soon as he wanted to say something, he saw that the sharp eyes of Queen Wu had swept over. He was shocked and hurriedly changed his mouth and reluctantly accepted it.

"It's so good that I believe that Liu Aiqing will never fail your majesty's trust." As soon as Liu Yizhi's words fell, Queen Wu immediately said something to finalize the matter. Immediately, he looked sideways at Li Jingxuan, the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and muttered for a moment, "Li Aiqing, the memorial service will be presided over by the officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies. Do you have any questions?"

"The old minister obeys the order!"

The memorial service is originally the business of the Ministry of Ceremonies. Li Jingxuan has no reason to shirk, and can only respectfully respond to promises.

"It's so good. Let's talk about it here today. Li Aiqing, please do it yourself."

Empress Wu obviously lost her enthusiasm for the discussion. After leaving a sentence, she led a group of eunuchs into the apse.

Although the Empress Wu left, the ministers can't leave. There is no such thing. The memorial and even guarding the spirit must start as soon as possible. There is no time to let the courtiers go home and rest. Of course, first of all, you have to take out a constitution. Fortunately, Li Jingxuan is an old man in this way, and he is not at all right. However, this matter is easy to say. Yi, it's tedious to do. After Li Jingxuan and Li Xian asked for instructions, they immediately hurriedly dispatched it. In such a large hall, there was a panic...
