Chapter 257 A small victory

Moving the seat is not a trivial matter. If Emperor Yongchang really moved, all the previous small actions would be wasted, and his prestige would be even more hit.

What's more, He Yuansheng's approach is tantamount to challenging the majesty of Emperor Yongchang. If it cannot be handled properly, it will really become a tablet in the future.

After all, the position of the Supreme Emperor is awkward. Even if he is in the name of regent, it is hard to say whether he can hold real power.

However, Emperor Yongchang had a very good mind. Faced with this situation, he didn't know how to deal with it. He could only stand in front of the chair and tremble all over.

"Marquis Changning, the position of the Supreme Emperor is moved backward, which is the emperor's personal intention to show his filial piety!"

Just when Emperor Yongchang was trembling in anger and was in a dilemma, Xiao Jing stood up to rescue him.

He paused and added: "The Marquis must not stop the emperor from fulfilling his filial piety!"

These words made Emperor Yongchang breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "Yes, all this is the filial piety of the emperor. My son is not a certain person. He has no monarch or father, and is shameless!"

As soon as this said, He Yuansheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Jing seriously.

The word "filial piety" is indeed the past, after all, this is ancient.

However, it also depends on whether the little emperor is worthy of cooperation, so he asked, "Dare you ask the emperor, is Eunuch Xiao's words true?"

This practice is equivalent to ignoring Emperor Yongchang and not treating him as a king.

He Yuansheng ignored the irony in Emperor Yongchang's words, and there would be no loss anyway.

"I, I..."

The little emperor was a little scared? I don’t know how to answer.

Compared to Emperor Chongxing? His younger brother is as cowardly as he is? Even more than that.

And the current Daqian Dynasty? Government affairs were controlled by Zhejiang Party officials such as Chu Zhongping. In the deep palace, Emperor Yongchang covered the sky with his own hands, so the little emperor was the real tablet.

In addition, he is not old? When facing powerful ministers and biological fathers, they are naturally afraid of their heads and tails and do not know how to deal with them.

"Please also say it clearly!"

He Yuansheng continued to speak, although his tone was calm, but his etiquette was not lost in the monarch and ministers' etiquette.

"If the emperor is threatened, I hope you will speak out clearly. I will never allow the rebels to do whatever they want!"

Zhao Wenyu also stood up to agree. He had a great grudge against Emperor Yongchang and would not leave any way out.

The members of the ministers also looked at the little emperor and waited for his answer.

After all, many things must be reasonable and well-founded. If the little emperor stands on the side of Emperor Yongchang? He Yuansheng would have no reason to attack.

"Son of the emperor, tell me what you mean?       Tell me about the ministers!"

A cold tone? And a dark look? The little emperor's heart became even more scared.

"It's what I mean!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Wenyu sighed and felt a little disappointed.

He Yuansheng also shook his head, feeling that this little emperor was worse than the previous Emperor Chongxing.

Because he had selfish intentions in this attack, he went to Emperor Yongchang. Even if the little emperor had a little wisdom, he would make his own voice.

"Since it is the emperor's intention, I won't say anything. It's just a lot of things. The emperor should respect himself!"

Since he couldn't find a suitable reason, He Yuansheng naturally couldn't attack, so he let go of this topic.

"snort!"

Emperor Yongchang snorted coldly and said, "The royal affairs will not be bothered by Changning Hou!"

"I don't want to worry about it, but some people ignore etiquette and law, so I have to stand up and speak!"

He responded lightly, and then spoke coldly: "When the emperor arrived, which slave shouted!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became more tense. Several people with flexible minds soon thought of something, and strange expressions appeared on their faces.

Even Xiao Jing's face changed a little because he thought of He Yuansheng's purpose.

Emperor Yongchang did not react and stood up angrily: "Marquis Changning, this is the court, not a place where you are free to come!"

"In the court, I will naturally not do anything randomly. It's just that some people regard etiquette and law, and the rules are as if nothing is in place, so I have to ignore them!"

Anyway, there is no possibility of any compromise between him and Emperor Yongchang, so He Yuansheng naturally has to confront him.

"Marty, the few little eunuchs, don't they all stand there and take them out for interrogation, and you'll know!"

Zhao Wenyu stood up again and blatantly helped He Yuansheng speak.

"It was my servant who shouted!"

Under such circumstances, the little eunuch who had called out before could no longer hold on and knelt down on the spot.

"The emperor is supreme, no one can be before him. Just when you inform me, you put the Supreme Emperor in front of you. This is the crime of great rebellion!"

After saying a few high-sounding words, he asked, "I asked you, who asked you to do this!"

In fact, these things can be big or small. If He Yuansheng had not mastered the strong army, he would not dare to attack with these reasons.

"Sister, I'm..."

The little eunuch was panicked and raised his head, looked at Emperor Yongchang and Xiao Jing, with a look of help in his eyes.

This made Xiao Jing hate him and immediately glared at him with a cold look.

This is clear. The eunuch needs to bear the responsibility himself. After all, all officials are there, and everyone is watching everyone. Someone must bear these handles to get rid of them.

Otherwise, if He Yuansheng seized the opportunity to attack, he would not really do anything to Emperor Yongchang, but if he forced him to apologize to the ancestral temple, he could still do it.

After all, the reason is open and upright, and it can cover up the long and wide mouths. All court officials and Zhejiang Party officials will stand on He Yuansheng's side.

These small tricks were captured by He Yuansheng as a handle, which also made Emperor Yongchang very angry and even wanted to kill He Yuansheng as a palace.

But he was stupid and violent, and he didn't dare to do this. After all, hundreds of soldiers were not easy to deal with. There were not many guards in the palace, and they were not all from Emperor Yongchang, so how dare he take action?

There was no choice but Emperor Yongchang could only look at the little eunuch with a cold look and forced him to take on the matter.

The eyes of the two made the little eunuch feel bitter, but telling the truth will definitely lead to a loss of life. If you take the blame, you won’t be able to end up.

"You have to tell the truth!"

Just as the little eunuch was hesitating, He Yuansheng's voice rang out, and then said: "As long as you tell the truth, I will protect your life!"

These words made the little eunuch happy, but when he looked at Emperor Yongchang's cold expression, the joy disappeared immediately.

After all, the palace is the world of Emperor Yongchang, and He Yuansheng's guarantee may not work.

In the end, it was the threat from Emperor Yongchang and Xiao Jing. The little eunuch said in a crying voice: "It was a temporary mistake for me and I thought the Supreme Emperor was the emperor's biological father, so I made a mistake."

As soon as this said, He Yuansheng sighed in his heart, thought to himself that it was in vain again.

After discovering these two small handles, He Yuansheng really wanted to hold on and force Emperor Yongchang to kneel down to the ancestral temple.

But whether it is the little emperor or the little eunuch, he was not angry, so he had no chance to attack.

Even the court officials knew that all this was instructed by Emperor Yongchang, but without evidence, He Yuansheng could not take action, otherwise there would be rumors that he was Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and others.

But now He Yuansheng is really not sure that he can control the situation like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao.

"I dare to ask the Emperor how to deal with such a traitorous matter!"

Since he could not attack, He Yuansheng had to give in and dug a small hole for Emperor Yongchang at the same time.

"Pull it out and kill it with a stick!"

Emperor Yongchang was very impatient and made a decision on the spot.

This made Xiao Jing feel sad, because the little eunuch took the blame but was treated like this, it would make people feel cold.

But he was one step late. As soon as Emperor Yongchang said that he could not change at all, he could only watch the little eunuch being pulled out.

"God of the Supreme Emperor, please spare me..."

The shouting sounded loudly, reminding the court officials in the hall again of Emperor Yongchang's ruthlessness and meanness, and their expressions changed a little.

This made He Yuansheng very satisfied, because little things combined together, the prestige of the Qian Dynasty royal family would sooner or later be lost.

As the eunuch was taken away and killed by a stick, the atmosphere in the hall became even colder. He Yuansheng, who failed to achieve his goal, but won a small victory in the game, also retreated back to his original position and was not talking much.

After calming for a while, Emperor Yongchang spoke: "Marty Changning, rectifying salt affairs is a major national event. Why did you make a decision without authorization and not report this matter?"

"Why should I report the matter of salt affairs in the scope of my authority to rectify the matter? "

"But after the rectification, the property of a group of criminals and illegal salt merchants should have been handed over to the treasury, but you took it privately. Do you want to make a mistake?"

As soon as Emperor Yongchang finished speaking, He Yuansheng smiled slightly and said calmly: "When I was in charge of the salt affairs, I had a first statement. Except for the treasury of one million taels of salt and silver for each year, the rest were all used as military pay.

The income from the house search was all criminals, businessmen, and the national salt tax embezzled, so it was naturally used as military pay."

"The salt merchants have more than tens of millions of dollars in capital. Even if the Marquis of Changning is in charge of more than tens of thousands of troops, they will not be able to use so much money!"

Chu Zhongping spoke. After all, his goal was to get the money, so he would naturally help Emperor Chongxing speak.

"Since the first year of Chongxing, the court has owed three thousand soldiers and millions of taels of silver.

When they went north to fight for the king, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The pensions and the consumption of the army exceeded 10 million taels. The silver obtained from the house was naturally given priority to make up for this deficit!"

He Yuansheng's words made Chu Zhongping frown. He knew that a great war would consume a lot of money, but he would never use so much money.

"The salt merchants' business, more than that, the rest should be handed over to the treasury!"

Emperor Yongchang spoke again, but He Yuansheng immediately retorted: "There are 160,000 soldiers under this marquis, including 10,000 cavalrymen, which cost a huge amount of money.

Just the monthly salary, there are more than 300,000 taels, and the food supply still needs 500,000 to 600,000 yuan.

However, the government affairs of the court have many problems and the owed wages happens from time to time. If the income from the house is confiscated, all the income will be handed over to the treasury.

Once there is a problem, what will the soldiers under their command eat and drink? If there is a mutiny, who will be responsible?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall became a little colder. After all, the threatening meaning was very obvious.

Because everyone knows that if the army has no money and supplies, there will be chaos. He Yuansheng's combat power is not low. Once someone makes a guarantee, he can find a loophole and do not have to bear any responsibility if the troops are in trouble.
