In other words, the total strength of the Zhongxin County Prince's Mansion is approximately between 45,000 and 55,000, and it will not exceed any more. This number also includes the old, weak and remnants of Xijing.
For some reason, when Rong Tuying heard this, she always had a bad premonition in her heart.
The emperor seemed careless, but he kept everything in mind and pointed out the key points in one sentence.
"Ling Xian leads 30,000 elite troops to capture Dingzhou, so there will be 15,000 to 20,000 troops in Xijing." Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, the remaining forces in Xijing are no more than 15,000.
As soon as Rong Tuying heard this, he felt very bad. He frowned, guessing that Emperor Jia'an's attitude meant that he intended to start a war, or that he wanted to take advantage of Ling Xian's absence in Xijing to take over his lair.
If this happens, Ling Xian's move will invade Dingzhou and sink deep into the ground, and his initiative will become passive, and he will be truly trapped in it.
He was thinking about whether he should send someone to report to Ling Xian. If he must fight, he should replace the general with his own talents. However, in the chaos of the dispute, Wang Zhisui shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, I have this report!"
Emperor Jia'an moved his fingers and raised his head: "Yes."
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Mr. Rong, Tongping Zhangshi and Minister of War, for taking advantage of the opportunity of building a Zen temple for the Queen Mother to engage in wanton corruption and collect money from the national treasury for his own use!"
As soon as he said it, everyone was shocked!
Everyone turned to look at Wang Zhisui in surprise. Most of them thought he was crazy and biting people randomly!
As we all know, the wealth of the Rong family has been accumulated by the family for hundreds of years. To put it bluntly, even the royal family may not be able to match the wealth of the family!
Rong Tuying was a member of the Rong family, but at this time Wang Zhisui accused him of corruption. Many people couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
On the surface Rong Tuying was laughing too, but in his heart he had murderous intent.
He regretted not eradicating Wang Zhisui earlier, leaving behind such a scourge.
The Tang Dynasty had regulations for impeaching officials, but no matter what kind of regulations, Yushitai was not among them.
The Yushitai has the power to supervise hundreds of officials and impeach the prime minister. At this time, even though Wang Zhisui's impeachment of Rong Tuying seemed ridiculous to everyone, it still attracted the attention of Emperor Jia'an.
On the high dragon chair, the corners of Emperor Jia'an's mouth curled up slightly. He had waited for so many days and finally found a smart man who was good at figuring out the emperor's heart!
"oh?"
The emperor asked in a longer tone: "Is there any physical evidence?"
He tapped his fingers lightly, as if he wanted to record in his mind the points of everyone who had previously said that he wanted to make peace without fighting. Wang Zhisui smiled and said:
"Yes! Your Majesty, since Lord Rong wrote to build the Zen temple, the people have been complaining and the corvee labor has been complicated. So far, just one Zen temple has summoned more than 100,000 laborers, and people from all over the country have rushed to Luoyang. Now is the time At the time of employment, Ling Xian's rebellion is imminent, and Lord Rong's move can be said to be detrimental to both the country and the people." Wang Zhisui held the elephant wat in his hand and turned a blind eye to Su Ying and others who looked at them as if they wanted to eat people:
"It is now June, the time of busy farming. Traveling five or six thousand miles away to Luoyang, one person serves, the whole family is ruined, and the harvest of the year is reduced to nothing. In addition, the construction of Zen temples , it costs a lot of money. It has been less than a month since the temple was built, but Mr. Tongping Zhang Shirong has really spent money like water, which really makes me heartbroken!"
Wang Zhisui slapped his chest:
"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has been diligent in government affairs, loving the people like a son, and reducing corvee and taxes. Every penny of tax revenue in the national treasury is hard-earned."
He can speak fluently when he opens his mouth, making Su Ying and others speechless. Wang Zhi still has a tongue like a lotus:
"As the saying goes, making money is like picking dirt with a needle, and spending money is like waves beating sand. Lord Rong spends money from the national treasury, just like cutting off other people's flesh to enrich himself. Among the craftsmen, someone once said that Lord Rong spends money generously. Whenever he saw a craftsman, he would bring out baskets of copper coins and say: 'As long as you build a Zen temple, I will be satisfied, and you will take away these coins.'"
He lowered his voice and imitated Rong Tu Ying's usual way of speaking, which made people laugh.
In the middle of the court, Li Fulin and others lowered their heads and suppressed the corners of their mouths.
Emperor Jia'an looked at Wang Zhisui's pretentious manner and raised the corners of his mouth, but did not interrupt him.
On the other hand, Rong Tuying and his party were so angry that they were shaking all over after hearing Wang Zhisui's words. Gao Fuyang shouted sharply:
"Master Wang, don't talk nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, now it's about the Sheji River?, it's time to use money, if you don't believe it, just to entertain people, open the treasury to check, and then check the Rongfu, you will definitely find the stolen goods! "
Wang Zhisui raised his hands and shouted.
Rong Tuying laughed:
"I have neither made any mistakes, nor have my home been confiscated. Mr. Wang's words are groundless, and on what terms do you want to search my Rong Mansion?" Although there was a smile on his face, if the look in his eyes could kill someone, he might be right now. Wang Zhisui was already covered in blood holes.
Wang Zhi has a cheerful face, but despite his age, he does not care about his appearance. Compared with other stern officials in Yushi Taichung, he is simply out of place.
"This matter will naturally be decided by the emperor."
Among the courtiers, Li Fulin stood out:
"Sir Rong, although the words of Mr. Wang are not pleasing to the ears, the fact that Mr. Rong summoned men from all over the country to serve as corvees at this time is indisputable and they are all registered. Could it be that you just want to deny it?"
Rong Tuying could tell at this time that these people were clearly coming to cause trouble for him.
He gently bit the tip of his tongue with his upper and lower teeth, remembering that on the day Ling Shaoxu was stabbed to death, it seemed that Princess Qin had summoned Li Fulin and others to the Qin Palace.
I actually underestimated this Mrs. Fu, and I don¡¯t know what kind of method she used to force the old man Li Fulin to fight hard and even want to bite him.
But the matter has come to this, these people are just doing useless work. Even if Li Fulin and others want to jump out, he is not afraid. When it reaches this point, he curls up the corner of his mouth and says slowly:
"It is true that the Zen Temple can be built. It is the emperor's personal permission. I am just eating the emperor's salary and sharing the emperor's worries. At that time, the world was peaceful and there was no incident of the death of Ling Shaoxu in the palace of Zhongxin County. Naturally, there was no subsequent incident. Ling Xian's act of rebellion." When he said this, he slowly raised his head:
"What does it have to do with me?"
Li Fulin knew he would not admit his mistake, so he narrowed his eyes and said:
"Even if Ling Xian hadn't rebelled, Mr. Rong should still be considerate of the people's hard work."
Chen Jingxuan also nodded:
"It's June now, when the crops in the fields are harvested. Building a Zen temple is a hardship for the people and goes against the emperor's love for the people."
Rong Tuying gradually became impatient and frowned:
"When people have nothing to do, they are proud and carefree, and when they work hard, they are easy to do." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
