Chapter 140
"Your Majesty!"
Shangshu of the military department said in a loud voice: "The minister believes that in view of the matter of Longnan, it can be postponed for a year, and when the Great Sui recovers some national strength, it will not be too late to send troops to pacify!" "
The voice of Shangshu of the military department echoed in the Taiji Hall.
When the hundred civil and military officers heard the words of Shangshu of the military department, their scalps exploded.
Although, in the eyes of other courtiers, there is nothing wrong with Shangshu of the military department giving such advice.
But also distinguish the occasion!
The emperor just made a decision in front of the courtiers, and the next moment, you stood up to veto the emperor, isn't this looking for death?
Suddenly, the courtiers near Shangshu of the military department subconsciously distanced themselves from the Shangshu of the military department, deeply afraid of being angered by the emperor.
Yang Guang sat on the throne of the dragon chair, looked at Shangshu of the military department, and slowly spoke: "Ai Qing, do you know, what were you talking about just now?" "
"Listen to you, you are speaking for those Guanlong Xungui rebels!"
"Counsel for rebellion is the same sin as rebellion!"
Yang Guang's words were like an iron hammer, smashing fiercely into the heart of Shangshu of the military department.
Bingbu Shangshu's face was pale, without a trace of blood.
"Your Majesty, the minister still believes that troops should not be sent at this time."
"The courtier's loyalty to the Great Sui can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the minister is definitely not speaking for rebellion, otherwise, the minister is willing to swear to the heavens, if he has the slightest dissenting intention, he will not die well!"
The words of Shangshu of the military department made the ministers of the hall break out in a cold sweat.
They never imagined that Shangshu of the military department was still so stubborn under His Majesty's questioning!
At this moment, if His Majesty decreed that Shangshu of the military department was beheaded, I am afraid that no one would think it was wrong.
"Stupid!"
Yang Guang's gaze fell on Shangshu of the military department and snorted coldly.
"Shangshu of the military department!"
Yang Guang looked at Shangshu of the military department who was kneeling on the ground and did not dare to get up, and said: "You are also an old minister of the dynasty, today I will leave you with your life, let you see whether Xuan's decision is right or wrong!" "
"Retreat!"
Yang Guang got up directly and left the Daxing Hall.
Only a group of courtiers kneeling on the ground with terrified faces remained.
After a long time, the officials eased up.
This morning, they were shocked to learn that Guan Longxungui had hoarded 200,000 soldiers and intended to rebel, and His Majesty directly sent Bai Qi to Guanlong to pacify Dingding.
Unconsciously, a war quietly unfolded in the territory of the Great Sui.
The courtiers had different thoughts, and left the Daxing Hall one after another.
Only Shangshu of the military department was still kneeling, not daring to get up.
Hube Shangshu couldn't look past it, walked to the soldier Shangshu, and sighed: "Why say those words above the court?" "
Shangshu Hubu and Shangshu of Bingbu have known each other for many years, and naturally have a good relationship.
"Since I said those words, I am ready to die."
Bingbu Shangshu smiled miserably: "Your Majesty insists on starting a war, since ancient times, the war together, the silver money needed is a bottomless pit!" "
"Dasui, where is there so much money?"
"At that time, an official will force the people to rebel and the soldiers will mutiny..."
"It's not me, the soldier Shangshu, who should kill the head?"
Shangshu of the military department said word by word.
Hube Shangshu looked at Bingbu Shangshu.
Hube Shangshu knew that the reason why Bingbu Shangshu said these words was because the other party did not know His Majesty's confidence at all.
Hube Shangshu shook his head helplessly and decided to reveal something to Bingbu Shangshu.
Hube Shangshu lowered his voice and spoke: "You and I have been intersecting for many years, and I can assure you that my Great Sui Treasury is not short of silver money!" "
As soon as Hube Shangshu's words came out, Bingbu Shangshu was slightly surprised.
"What do you mean?"
Bingbu Shangshu's face was full of puzzlement!
Hube Shangshu said seriously: "You should know that the commercial tax reform recently carried out in my Dasui Province!" "
"I've heard about it!"
Shangshu nodded.
The Son of Heaven ordered the abolition of the checkpoint tax, and he, as a minister of the central government, certainly knew it.
"Then do you know how many silver taels my Dasui has every year for commercial tax alone?"
When Hube Shangshu said this, he paused for a moment and lowered his voice again: "At least fifty million taels!" "
"Commercial tax alone, there are fifty million taels!"
"Think about it, is my Dasui short of money?"
"Starting a war is not as unbearable for me Dasui as you think!"
Hube Shangshu's words made Bingbu Shangshu empowered, and the whole person fell into a deep shock!
Inside the Daxing Hall, Shangshu of the military department fell into a deep shock because of Hube Shangshu's words.
Shangshu of the military department never imagined that a commercial tax would bring such a degree of tax to the Great Sui!
As one of the six ministries, Shangshu of the military department, a member of the third rank of the DPRK, naturally knows what those words spoken by Shangshu of Hubu mean!
For today's Dasui, it is simply earth-shaking!
Even in the heyday, the annual tax revenue of the Great Sui is far from reaching 50 million taels!
What's more, according to Hube Shangshu, this is just a commercial tax
Shangshu was incredulous.
"Seriously?!"
Shangshu of the military department stumbled to his feet and looked at Shangshu of Hubu in shock.
Hubu Shangshu nodded and said calmly: "My Hubu is in charge of national taxation, don't you still believe me?" "
"I believe!"
"Of course I believe it!"
Shangshu of the military department burst into tears with excitement.
Although, he did not know how His Majesty managed to this extent.
However, as a loyal minister of the Great Sui, as long as the Great Sui can become more and more prosperous, the military department Shangshu will be blind even if he dies.
"Then I just now"
Shangshu of the military department suddenly thought of the advice he had told His Majesty in the court.
At this moment, Shangshu of the military department knew how wrong he was!!
Hube Shangshu pondered for a moment, and said: "Regarding the commercial tax, this is what His Majesty ordered me to do, and it is currently in progress, and I hope that the Lord will keep it secret."
"It's nature!"
Shangshu of the military department looked stunned and said solemnly.
"In that case, leave."
Hube Shangshu arched his hand and said.
Shangshu hurriedly saluted back: "Please, my lord, thank you for solving my confusion!" "
Shangshu of the military department thanked Shangshu Hubu from the bottom of his heart.
Without Hube Shangshu's words, I'm afraid he would have misunderstood His Majesty...
In the eyes of Shangshu of the military department, his life and death are trivial, but if he delays His Majesty because of his stupidity, it is a big thing.
After Hube Shangshu left, Bingbe Shangshu was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision.
Shangshu of the military department is ready to meet His Majesty in person and admit his ignorance to His Majesty
Yang Guang returned to the side hall of the palace.
