10. The battle for the court rises again

The officials from the five wings in the Political Affairs Hall were surrounded by Dou Shen and asked in surprise that the court had always used military service, and the expenses were provided by the Duzhi Department. Now there was a money from the Ministry of Revenue. Now, the Queen Qi directly took money from the treasury and the inner treasury from the emperor, and then he took the three yamen to coordinate the expenses. In short, the military commander bypassed you, the Minister of the Secretariat. What is the significance of the prime minister's management of the treasury in the future?

To be honest, Dou Shen was also very angry.

It would be fine if Gao Yue asked for my money, but he also directly used the emperor to reach out to the treasury for money. This will happen in the future. Wouldn't the prime minister in charge of the national economy become a decoration?

Dou Shen instructed Hanlin scholar Wu Tongxuan and Wu Tongwei to make suggestions around the emperor, saying that Gao Yue's move was inconsistent with politics and should not let go of this.

As a result, the emperor was very unhappy and warned the Wu brothers on the spot that you two could concentrate on drafting edicts. This kind of national policy was decided by me and the ministers, and there was no need to wait for a long time.

This is equivalent to the emperor making a fuss, "If you make Gao Yue angry, I will let you clean up the mess."

Dou Shen had no choice but to come to the door.

This person is "Little Pei Xueshi", the official Shaoqing Pei Yanling.

It turned out that Pei Yanling was Lu Qi's dog-headed military advisor, and he also gave advice from the murder of Yang Yan. After Lu's death, he was so scared that he was dormant for several years. Later, he wanted to cling to Gao Yue, but Gao Yue stayed away from the center and stayed in Xingyuan, Fengxiang, and Dou Shen are now the Minister of the Secretariat. When he is close to the water tower, he is fighting with Dou Shen.

After hearing this, Pei Yanling smiled and said to Dou Shen: "These 3.5 million ounces must be given to Gao Yue. If you don't give them to him, if the Holy Lord asks who can preside over the overall situation of destroying the Party Xiang, how dare you ask Dou Zhonglang if there is a suitable candidate?"

Dou Shenran was silent. Whether he had high expectations for Liu Xuanzuo or Li Jingluo, he had lost the chain at critical moments.

So Pei Yanling said that the money was used by the Holy Lord to give Gao Yue the rule of the city. If you are not satisfied with the Zhonglang, you have to take over the burden, but you can't take over it. Isn't this offending the Holy Lord for no reason?

"What can you do with your high opinions from Mr. Pei?"

"It is not difficult for Gao Yue to destroy the Dangxiang. This is the 3.5 million guan for him. But if we do this when we finish the merit, it will be very difficult for him. Maybe he will be angry and embarrassed. Then he will reveal his flaws..." Pei Yanling posted beside Dou Shen at this time and made a gesture.

The next day, Dou Shen entered the Zichen Hall and, in front of the emperor, happily agreed to allocate special funds for the imperial camp to pacify Qiang.

However, Dou Shen said that the money was taken out of the Duzhi Department.

This person's abacus was very good - the three departments who are in charge of finance now, originally the Dou Shen and the Du Branch Department and the Ministry of Revenue Department, and the Ban Hong's Salt and Iron Department.

The Duzhi Department mainly consists of the main tax of the world, that is, the two taxes, and the salt profits of Hedong and Sanchuan (the profits of several salt ponds in Shuofang are enjoyed by several systems of Shuofang Army);

The Ministry of Revenue Department of the Ministry of Revenue Department was established by Li Mi. The source of wealth was a surcharge of land acres (green rice money), the land of the county officials, the income from the land of the county, and the money of the state governors nationwide (the additional allowance received by the governors in the name of military management, each governor was about 70 trump cards per month, and later forced to be removed by Li Mi, and the money was included in the Ministry of Revenue Department), the salary of officials, the money of officials outside the official, and the money of the ex-official officials;

In the end, the most important source of the Salt and Iron Society did not change at this time, and it was the salt and liquor in the southeast of the Jianghuai River.

The earliest Dou Shenguandu Branch and the Ministry of Revenue were Ban Hong, the deputy minister of Han Huan, who was the salt and iron department of the Salt and Iron Department.

However, since Gao Yue led the Imperial Camp friendly army to slaughter Qiang, he was not in harmony with Dou Shen, so the two prime ministers were transferred: Ban Hong went to the branch office, while Dou Shen was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and the Salt and Iron Office.

What's more, Dou Shen once promised Ban Hong that I would return all the power to sentence the three departments to you a year later (there is only a ghost).

Now Dou Shen promised to give Gao Yue 3.5 million yuan, and pretended to be faced, but asked the Ban Hongdu Branch to bear the money, but his own Ministry of Revenue and the Salt and Iron Company "did not get a penny."

Not only that, in order to eliminate Ban Hong's team in the Salt and Iron Department, Dou Shen also instructed the Censorate to impeach Xu Can, the magistrate of the Yangtze River Inspectorate, seized the evidence of Xu's corruption, and demanded that Xu Can be replaced and sent to the Censorate to question. As for whom he accepted the Yangtze River Inspectorate later, Dou Shen tried his best to recommend Pei Yanling to the emperor, and also asked him to serve as the Jianghuai Transportation Envoy.

At this time, Dou Shen thought he had a plan:

The Duzhi Department was exhausted and weakened Ban Hong's voice; in addition, he punished Xu Can's crime and implicated, not only could he take the opportunity to move Ban Hong, but he could also thoroughly grasp the key departments of the Salt and Iron Department and the Jianghuai Transportation Envoy, so that he would not be far from his own control of the three departments!

But in private, Gao Yue's entry into Beijing this time certainly hit it off with Ban Hong, who has a common enemy.

The political faction targeting Dou Shen is also setting up a stage to perform.

Not only Ban Hong participated, but also Du Ya, the governor of Huainan, also participated.

Gu Xiu, who was in Taofen, had come to the capital before and met with Gao Yue and Ban Hong as the master of the Jinzhaoyuan. Gu Xiu asked: "Staff General Dou took over the flags of Huainan with his clan father Dou Wei. May I ask Banmenlang, where will Gao Qi Hou come out?"

Gao Yue then said: "Banmenlang requested that Du Yake was transferred from the Huainan Jiedushi to the Henan Yin, which was not a loss, but Dou Yu must not let him receive the Jingjie. The servant recommended one person to destroy Dou Shen's unjust thoughts."

Sure enough, the emperor asked again in Yanying Palace about how to deal with the topic of "Xu Can of the Yangtze River Inspectorate" that Gao Yue had been granted the position of "Tongpingzhangshi" and entered the cabinet with the ruling ministers.

Without saying that, Dou Shen was straightforward and violently impeached Xu Can, and then accused Du Ya, the governor of Huainan, of Du Ya, "Huainan is one of the best towns in the world. Chen Shaoyou's tax collection was troublesome, extravagant and usurped, and was plundered by rebel general Wang Shao. People in Huainan originally hoped that Du Ya could eliminate the old ills and restore Corning. However, Du Ya was in Yangzhou, and many political affairs commissioned to attract guests and talk about it. "Du Ya'an was charged with "broadness" and "unpolitical" and requested the emperor to deprive Du Ya of Huainan and give him a idle position to deal with it.

To be honest, when Emperor Li Shi first ascended the throne, Du Ya was very famous and wanted Du Ya to be the censor and the clerk (see the previous article). Later, he realized that Du Ya was not doing things well and it was actually difficult to bear the reputation. He was very disappointed. Giving Huainan to him in the past was the product of political compromise, and it was time to take it back.

"In the opinion of Dou Zhonglang, who is suitable to go to Yangzhou, Huainan?"

Dou Shen did not say anything politely, just saying that Dou Yu made great contributions to quelling Li Huaiguang's rebellion and could be the new Huainan Jiedushi, while Pei Yanling, the deputy governor of the Ministry of Agriculture, was quick to do things, which shows that the Yangtze River patrol was inspected.

When Gao Yue heard this, he became angry. What magic snails did you blow? He also "made great achievements"? Isn't it that your waste clan father Dou Yu once pulled up seven or eight hundred land groups when he was the governor of Fangzhou and ordered Dai Xiuyan, the governor of Weibei, to lower the defense. This is a great achievement. Then, will my merits during the relocation of Fengtian be able to go to heaven?
