"Ahem! Everyone, the Inner Palace is the Imperial Inner Palace. How the money of the Inner Palace should be used is not your responsibility, right? Don't you think that you are doing useless work when discussing these things here?" came Liu Zhong's gloomy voice. , everyone in the hall heard it.

Everyone glanced at Liu Zhong, He Tuizhi and Sima Lang smiled, and then He Tuizhi said: "This matter is just a proposal now. We must discuss it carefully before we can make the final decision. Father-in-law, don’t worry, come on, let’s discuss the next thing. This year’s food production in our fairy world seems to be nearly one level lower than every year. This is not good news..."

Sima Lang knew what He Tuizhi meant. If they did not discuss this matter now, they would wait until the discussion came out with a result and then report it to the Immortal Emperor. In fact, at that time, the result would be reached. If at that time, the Immortal Emperor If they don't agree, they can put pressure on the Immortal Emperor. In this case, even the Immortal Emperor may not have any good ideas.

Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode both had gloomy faces and stood there without saying a word. After the dynasty was over, He Tuizhi and Sima Lang left the hall, while Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode went directly to the Immortal Emperor's study.

The Immortal Emperor was waiting for the two of them. As soon as he saw the two of them coming in, he immediately said to them: "Two companions, what good news do you have?" The person who proposed to form a new army in the court today was Liu The people arranged by Zhong Zhong, but they changed their explanation and did not say that the new army formed was the Immortal Emperor's personal guards. Therefore, He Tuizhi and Sima Lang felt that this was an opportunity, so they did not object on the spot, and they Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that they will agree to this matter.

Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode bowed to the Immortal Emperor. The Immortal Emperor waved his hand, then looked at the two of them, waiting for them to speak. Liu Zhong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this matter has reached the sixth level. Judging from the looks of He Tuizhi and Sima Lang, they may agree to this proposal. This is great news for us."

The Immortal Emperor laughed loudly and said: "Okay, great, I have been waiting for this day, hahahaha." He was really very happy, because once this matter was completed, he would have enough in his hands The large number of troops can be put under his direct command, so that he can suppress the people in the court.

But then the Immortal Emperor looked at the two of them and said: "If they find out that what we want to form is a personal guard, I wonder if they will object?" This is what the Immortal Emperor is most worried about, those guys in the court, they are They thought that they would use the money from the Immortal Emperor's inner palace to form a new army, but the new army was in their hands. It was precisely because of this that they did not object.

But if they find out that the Immortal Emperor has formed personal guards, which are under the direct command of the Immortal Emperor, then they may not agree. After all, the personal guards are different from the general army. The personal guards will only listen to the Immortal Emperor. If the emperor is alone, that is really not a good thing for them.

Wei Xiaode thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think they will agree. In their opinion, the money in the inner government is not enough to form a new army. As long as your majesty forms a new army, the inner government will be empty. At that time, His Majesty has no money to support the army, and the army will naturally disperse. When they take over, they will choose a ready-made one, so they should agree."

Liu Zhong also nodded and said: "Yes, they should agree. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

The Immortal Emperor nodded, and then said: "Okay, as long as they can agree. You two companions, please go and make arrangements. This matter must be done." The two of them responded, and then rushed He bowed to the Immortal Emperor, then turned and left.

At this time, He Tuizhi, Sima Lang and several big shots in the court were also discussing this matter. He Tuizhi looked at a few people and said, "This time, everyone also agreed with Diao Guangwu's proposal. I know, but I wonder what everyone thinks of this proposal?"

The faces of several people all showed joy, and then a big boss said: "This proposal is very good. Let His Majesty use the money from the inner government to build the army. In this way, the Emperor will not have much money in his hands in the future. There is no Without money, His Majesty will not be able to do many things, which is more beneficial to restrain His Majesty's power."

Several people all nodded, but a big boss said: "But I'm afraid this matter won't be that easy, and it's impossible for your Majesty to agree, because in this way, your Majesty will spend money, but it won't be the same." Without getting any benefits, not to mention Your Majesty, even Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode will not agree."

Everyone nodded. Sima Lang thought for a while, then his eyes lit up, and then he said in a deep voice: "If your Majesty feels that there is no benefit, we can give him some benefits. Your Majesty has always wanted to Do you want some military power? We will give it to His Majesty."

When everyone heard what he said, they were all stunned, and then looked at them with some confusion. Sima Lang looked at everyone and said: "Your Majesty has always wanted military power, so we will give it to him. For example, we can Let the newly formed army become His Majesty's personal army. In this way, His Majesty will probably come up with the money, right?"

"No, we have finally restrained His Majesty's power. Once His Majesty obtains military power, His Majesty's power will become greater and greater. Then won't all our previous efforts be in vain? This must not be done. "A big boss immediately objected. They knew very well how much effort they put into restraining the Immortal Emperor's power. If the Immortal Emperor takes back the military power, all their previous efforts will be lost. , it’s all in vain.

Sima Lang looked at everyone, smiled slightly and said: "I know what everyone is worried about, but I think you don't have to worry. We have also formed an army. You should be very clear about how much it costs to form an army. How much energy, how much manpower and how much money is needed, and although His Majesty's inner palace has received a lot of money in recent years, it should not be too much, and most of it has been used to support the hussars. Although we have not lost military pay for the Hussars, most of their equipment is made by His Majesty himself. This requires a lot of money. Therefore, although His Majesty's internal government's income has increased a lot in recent years, But actually it shouldn’t be much.”

Everyone listened to Sima Lang's words quietly. When they heard what Sima Lang said, they all thought that what Sima Lang said made sense. The Immortal Emperor's inner palace really shouldn't have much money, and he shouldn't have the money to build an army. .

Sima Lang looked at the crowd and continued: "This is just money, as well as manpower. Where will your Majesty go to find people to form an army? Forming an army does not mean gathering people together. Even if it is to form an army, if you want to make the Qing Army To form combat effectiveness, you must have suitable commanders and rigorous training. If your Majesty wants to form a new army, you must have talents in this field, but does your Majesty have them? No, it will not be necessary by then Transferring people from other armies. As long as Your Majesty transfers people from other armies, it’s hard to say who these people listen to. So I think you don’t need to be so nervous. Even if we agree with His Majesty’s formation Pro-army, are you afraid that this pro-army won’t be able to be established? We didn’t say that we must use the money from the inner government to build the army. As long as we consume the money from the inner government, that’s fine. What do you think? "

Everyone nodded, and He Tuizhi said in a deep voice: "What the right minister said makes sense, this method is good, so let's write it like this, just go ahead and say that the army is tired now and needs to return to the defense area for repairs. But the treasury is empty and there is no extra money to form an army to guard the border. Please use the money from the inner government to form the emperor's personal army, go to the border, and replace the various armies to guard the border. Your Majesty will probably agree to this."

Everyone nodded, He Tuizhi glanced at everyone, and then said: "Everyone, although we want to restrict His Majesty's power, we are not asking His Majesty to abdicate, so we can't go too far. Everyone. Did you remember it?"

Everyone responded, and He Tuizhi then said: "Okay, everyone, please go back. When the next court meeting is held, we will send this book to you, and then see your Majesty's reaction. I think your Majesty will definitely agree. However, if His Majesty wants to transfer someone from you to form a new army, you should know what to do." Everyone agreed at once.

In the following days, there was an undercurrent in the Immortal Court. The officials from the DPRK and the Central Government were working together to facilitate this matter. How could Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode not know about it? Their reactions were also what those officials expected. During the process, they began to sabotage secretly, but the more they did so, the more those ministers wanted to facilitate this matter.

When the second Great Court Meeting was held, He Tuizhi, on behalf of the three provinces and six ministries, sent a memorial directly as soon as the Great Court Meeting began. Because the Immortal Emperor was still not at the Great Court Meeting, they did not know yet that the Immortal Emperor Meeting What kind of reaction, but the memorial was sent up, and then everyone discussed other things and then left directly.

After the dynasty dispersed, Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode took those memorials to the Immortal Emperor's study and gave them to the Immortal Emperor. The Immortal Emperor picked up a memorial and looked at it, then put it aside, and finally took After picking up the memorial on He Tui and taking a look at the inner space of the memorial, the Immortal Emperor was stunned. Then he said to Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode with some confusion: "This is really the memorial on He Tui and the others. ? Are they so cooperative?" After saying that, he gave the memorial to Liu Zhong and Wei Xiaode, because they had never seen it.

Liu Zhong took the memorial and glanced at it with a look of surprise. Then he also gave the memorial to Wei Xiaode. After reading it, Wei Xiaode put the memorial on the Immortal Emperor's desk. Then he said: "Your Majesty, Mr. I almost understand why they did what they did, they just want to consume the money of the inner government."

The Immortal Emperor was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Wei Xiaode and said, "Wei Banban said it in more detail."

Wei Xiaode said: "Your Majesty, it is not easy to form an army. You need money and people. In their opinion, the money in your Majesty's hands is not enough to form a new army. If your Majesty wants to start from When other armies transfer people to form a new army, they may not cooperate. Even if they cooperate, it is not certain who will listen to those who are transferred there. Therefore, in their view, it is impossible for His Majesty to form a new army. Yes, it will only consume the inner government's money, and this is exactly the result they want."
