After a while, the slight footsteps of people walking around came from outside the hall, followed by the sound of boots stepping on the gold brick floor.

The emperor looked up and watched the eunuch in a light yellow shirt approaching.

"Official family." After the eunuch who came into the hall performed his respects, he said, "The Grand Marshal Li Enmao led the Langwei and the imperial guards of more than ten troops, and had already left the city to Jizhou."

The situation ahead was quite tense. The Taiwei Li Jian was the general manager of the right-wing troops. His troops were about 30 imperial guards, including more than 10,000 cavalry. The defense line was responsible for the north of the capital to the north of Pingzhou, and many Great Wall defense lines such as Gubeikou and Da'ankou. The main defense was the Northern Lu in the north.

The war was a war between the Great Wei and the Donghu. The main forces of the imperial guards were all outside Yu Pass. In addition, the imperial court gathered 50,000 or 60,000 troops to deploy defenses along the Yunzhou to Zijing Pass. With the current attack ability of the northern enemy, it would take at least 100,000 or 200,000 people to break in.

There are still about 30,000 imperial guards in the capital, and there are five or six thousand Langweis. Now that the war has reached its most critical moment, the emperor issued an edict a few days ago, and ordered the Taiwei Li Enmao to lead more than 30,000 imperial guards, plus more than a thousand Langweis to go out of the capital to meet the Taiwei Li Jian's troops on the right. In this way, the power of the right road is greatly strengthened, which can prevent the Northern Barbarians from entering the border wall from Jizhen to western Liaoning.

Of course, this is just an open reason... After more than two hundred years of war and siege, the Northern Barbarians are unable to attack the Great Wei, so there is no need to be more careful.

Liu Zhiyuan's crazy plan had the plan to completely kill the Beilu. In fact, this is not too crazy. After all, the Beilu's combat power is recognized to be low to a certain level.

As long as we can resist the Donghu in western Liaoning, or win a major battle, drive away the Northern Territory and restore many old borders of the Han and Tang dynasties, it is not impossible.

Of course, the emperor would not be so crazy now. He sent Li Enmao to Beijing, one was to strengthen the right side to prevent the Northern Territory, and the other was to give certain supervision and prevention to the other generals in front. The right side was the last one, and the right side was in the capital, Pingzhou, Jizhou, and directly to Yunzhou. The Wei still had a general defense circle, which would have a certain defensive effect on the main generals in the front, especially Li Guorui.

This is no wonder the emperor. The two palaces also have certain precautions when promoting troops.

Liu Yu was an important official of Jin. During the Northern Expedition, he hurriedly led his troops back to Jiankang and usurped the throne.

Li Guorui had 300,000 imperial guards. If he had the intention of being a disobedient person, the disaster would certainly be great. Although the system of the Great Wei Dynasty was completely different from that of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the possibility of powerful officials being able to succeed in usurping the throne was extremely small.

Of course there is another function. Judging from the relief expression of Emperor Chongde, after Li Enmao left the capital, the burden on the emperor was also greatly reduced.

"Give the Grand Marshal Deng Ming to lead the doctor's order." The emperor said, "I know that Deng Ming has been suffering from illness recently, so I gave him the Emperor's Sword, and took him to the palace to guard the palace to investigate the traitor. Let him let him do it for the trouble!"

...

"My decree is the edict."

Deng Ming, who was both bearded and bearded, bowed to receive the imperial edict, and when he stood up, his figure swayed. Fortunately, the guards around him helped him, otherwise the old man would have fallen and could not get up as soon as he received the position of doctoral order, which would have become the biggest scandal since the founding of this dynasty.

He received an imperial edict outside the Xiaodong Gate, and was the chief of the Taiwei Palace Commander. He was originally the leader of the military minister. In the Han Dynasty, the Langzhong Ling was one of the nine ministers, in charge of the Zhonglang, the escort, the Qimen, the Yulin, and the consultant. The imperial guards were the heads of the emperor's close ministers and one of the most important officials. In this dynasty, the Langzhong Ling was actually the Langwei, and the position was the Suwei Palace. Of course, the power and status were different from the Han Dynasty. Guangluqing was quite different, but in the military position, the generals were still proud of being the doctor.

Judging from Deng Ming's experience as the commander of the military commander, commander of the wing commander, recruiting general manager, and governor, and the Taiwei, serving as the doctor's order again is obviously just a temporary solution... The original doctor's order Chen Changde was moved to the Qimen Order, which was obviously an excessive problem. After the old Taiwei's order was resigned from the doctor's order for a while

After the order, Chen Chang got the most trusted military general of the emperor and would definitely regain the command of Langwei.

"Be careful, old lieutenant." Chen Changde was waiting to step down and hand over his seal. Seeing this, he quickly took a step forward.

"I am really old and decayed." Deng Ming barely stood up straight, and could even press the horizontal knife hanging around his waist with his hands. Although his eyes were dizzy, there was a clear sharp light deep in his eyes.

"However, the emperor trusted him and could only do his best..." When Deng Ming spoke, the people around him were also a little sad.

During the reign of Emperor Wuzong, Deng Ming was already the commander of the military commander. After experiencing Wenzong, Chengzong, and the four emperors of the current official family, he has been in a military career for forty years. Now he is too old, but he cannot resign from his official position and go home to enjoy his old age. Those present don’t know what it feels like.

"I won't have to return home." Deng Ming said to Chen Changde, Shi Yuji and others: "It's an extraordinary time now, so you need to be more cautious. I will take care of the palace guards, and I will take care of it with all my strength. From today on, I will be outside the gate of Daqing Palace. In the capital, in addition to the imperial guards, I have to rely on Lord Shi's Jinwu Guard to be careful and alert."

The doctor ordered the palace to be in charge of the palace, the Qimen ordered the emperor to be in charge of the imperial guards, and the Jinwu guards were in charge of the palace to be in charge of the entire capital.

"We are more careful and always have to overcome this crisis with peace of mind." Deng's reputation and character were both strong, not only against Shi Yuji and Chen Changde, but also against many military generals present.

When everyone clasped their fists and made a promise, Chen Changde smiled bitterly, walked to Deng Ming's side, and whispered: "The official has issued a red flag. We will not accept the order of the Qimen in the end, but will hold the red flag outside Yu Pass to urge the battle to supervise the battle!"

Deng Ming first made a battle, and then he smiled bitterly.

"Did the official family lose the patience to wait until the spring is still a little bit more?"

"The Grand Marshal Li left the capital and seemed to strengthen the right wing... in fact, he was preparing to replace Yue Zhi." Chen Chang got the doctor's order to be the real emperor's confidant. Deng Ming, the old Grand Marshal, was able to serve as the doctor's order, but most of the troops in the capital had left. The emperor was a little worried. Last spring, Xu Zi, the Marquis of Nan'an, stirred up the capital's storm. Thousands of people were fighting at the middle of the night, and Dashen Liu Zhiyuan was killed. After such a series of incidents, it is not surprising that the emperor was too cautious and careful.

Deng Ming was silent for a while... Li Enmao was of course also a long-time general, and he also had many military achievements and had enough qualifications. The most important thing was that before he entered the capital, he served as the commander of the Xiangdu in Hebei, and also served as the defense envoy of Hebei Road and the Hebei Imperial Guard. Many of them were Li Enmao's old subordinates.

Later, Li Enmao went to the capital and served as the left prime minister Han Zhong. After the capital's chaos, the emperor appointed Li Jian and Deng Mingdu as the Taiwei, whom he relied on and on, and Yue Zhi was appointed as the Taiwei for his military merits. Li Enmao was the emperor who barely praised the title after weighing the left and right, which was a result of the balance between the left and right.

Now that Li Enmao led his troops out of Beijing, Chen Changde and others held the red flag to urge the war, the emperor's intention was quite obvious.

If Li Guorui, Yue Zhi and others in the middle, and the right-wing army still dare not fight hard to defeat the enemy, the emperor will first transfer back to Yue Zhi to question the crime, and replace him with Li Enmao. Then it may be Zhang Guangen, or one of the Dagan and Shu envoys may be sent to Pingzhou or Yuguan to supervise the war.

The emperor now doesn’t ask about excuses or reasons, but what he wants is the result!

The imperial guards have been confronting the enemy for half a year, from the capital to Pingzhou, and then to Yuguan, Ningyuan and Guangli camps were built. In addition to the left army, the central and right army had more than 240,000 soldiers and more than 100 troops, all the imperial guards of more than 20 armies, all the imperial guards of more than 150,000 soldiers to help guard the camps, and more than 400,000 civilians were transporting military supplies. On the sea, there were Wang Zhi and the imperial navy, civil boats, and more than 1,000 large ships mobilized, and they kept transporting food and grass and various military equipment.

Just building cities, digging trenches and setting up villages, the funds were more than 20 million jin, mobilizing 300,000 imperial guards, 400,000 fang troops and 600,000 civilians, consuming nearly 10 million stones of food, and more than 100 million bundles of grass. This is the wealth that the country has barely accumulated under the premise of being suppressed and attacked by the Donghu in the past decade, including military morale and morale.

...The emperor really can't wait any longer.

"The Jiangnan cabbage ships will not be sent to the new cabbage until April, and the old cabbage has been cut off." Chen Changde whispered: "Last year, the money was distributed, except for the war on Fujian Road, and the rest of the tax was not distributed, and more than 10 million stagnant of the rest of the cabbage were used. The imperial court transferred the large warehouse and the inner sealed pile warehouse, which was less than 5 million. If it continues to be so rigid, the money will be enough until the beginning of spring. At that time, the new warehouse had not arrived and the summer tax was not collected. Not to mention military expenses, it was the salary of all officials, the daily salary of the imperial army, and the expenses in the palace were saved again and again, but the total money was also required. At that time, the national treasury would be washed and the salary would be stopped. I am afraid that the world would be in chaos within a month."

Shi Yuji also smiled bitterly from the side: "The emperor's stake fee is less than one million guan."

The financial design of the Wei Dynasty is quite reasonable. The Transshipment Commander is the highest economic coordination official, and the Transshipment Commander is also responsible for all economic planning and management. The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the management of the warehouse, reconciliation, and the position is under the Transshipment Commander.

Under an excellent financial system, there are several methods of financial system. Some are based on the basis of living within their means, that is, the financial department formulates financial plans for the next year based on overall planning, planning, forecasting, and based on the income of the next fiscal year, and determines expenses.

Another type is to make a tax plan in advance, which means how much tax is planned for the next year, that is, how much money is planned for the new year's fiscal year.

Another type is to measure and earn in quantity. Debts are issued according to tax plans, which requires a more modern and more sophisticated financial management system. No country can do it yet.

The Great Wei has always lived within one's means how much tax revenue it has. Whether it is raising soldiers, building weapons, raising officials, supporting the royal family, the expenses of government officials in various places, necessary public welfare expenditures, etc., they are all based on the income of a fiscal year.

The Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty has always had a very high income. Not only the funds allocated to the Emperor from the treasury, but also some emperors have privately entered. For example, the tax control income of wine and tea has always been directly entered into the Emperor's inner treasury, including the trade income between the border tea and horse ports and barbarians, but also directly entered the Emperor's private treasury.

For more than two hundred years, the Emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty had certainly accumulated a lot of wealth, but it was not as much as I imagined.

There will always be natural disasters and man-made disasters. When the national treasury is not enough to spend money, the emperor regards the country as his home, which is when the emperor pays for the money.

When he succeeded to the throne, the Fengzun Cutou had more than 2 million guan and not much money. It was because Emperor Chengzong was too squandered, so Emperor Chengzong also had no high evaluation... Although the Fengzun Cutou Cutou is the private warehouse of the emperor, it should be considered as the purpose of the world. Since the emperor is raised by the world, then a virtuous emperor should take into account the interests of the people of the world, squander and be uncontrollable. Such an emperor naturally has a very low evaluation.

Although there are many problems in the current government, it is not wrong to devote one to state affairs. The expenses in the palace are extremely frugal, almost similar to those of Renzong in historical books. If you can wear old clothes, you are not allowed to make new ones. You can also use them when you can. There are even many bronze ware that are not rewarded to ministers at will, but are sold to merchants for money.

When the emperor reached this point, the pile sealing warehouse was soon full of money. By last year, the pile sealing money was storing over tens of millions of guan per year, which was the most record in decades... Even so, just half a year later, just like the more than 10,000 guan of guan in the outer court, it was completely spent.

Deng Ming was also a little shocked. The white-haired veteran lowered his head and pondered for a moment, as if looking for a similar situation in his memory. However, the war Deng Ming remembered was mostly the war against the Donghu over the past thirty or forty years. Every time the imperial guards fought against the enemy in the territory of the Great Wei, and most of them were defending the city. After the war, the place was ruined, and the imperial guards had to make up for the losses. The cities, towns, villages, the people who died, the destroyed houses, villages, roads, bridges, and various reconstructions took a long time. After a few years, the Wei army and the people of the Great Wei had to fight against the Donghu Iron Cavalry again.
