Chapter 580 Han Shou
The court was covered with Xiao Party officials, which was a full blow to the Han tribe. In this court, there were the main officials of the six ministries and nine ministers, as well as censors from the Censorate, and there were 140 or 50 people in total. They were all important ministers of the Yan State who were qualified to attend court. Among them, the Xiao tribe had to account for 20%. More than 20 court officials led by Xiao Huaijin knelt in the court in black, and that was to ask the emperor to abolish the Donghai Pacification Army.
The emperor looked calm and finally asked Han Xuandao: "Han Aiqing, what Mr. Xiao said, what do you think?"
Han Xuandao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Xiao said is reasonable!"
Everyone was stunned, and the emperor was also a little unexpected, frowned slightly, and a strange light flashed through the eyes of Master Xiao, who was sitting on the big chair, but his expression was still quite calm.
"Oh?" the emperor stroked his beard and said, "Does Han Aiqing agree with Mr. Xiao's intention to disarmament?"
Han Xuandao said respectfully: "Return to the emperor, Mr. Xiao's intention to disarmament is to reduce the expenditure of the treasury, for the overall political considerations of the Great Yan, and to make a successful plan for the country, but I also deeply agree with it!"
Many people were suddenly surprised, and some even thought to themselves: "Han Xuandao, isn't this guy going crazy? The sacking of the sanctuary army was cut off from their Han family's arm. How could he agree?"
This unexpected scene appeared in the court, and everyone was silent for a moment. The Taiping Hall was suddenly covered with a depressed aura.
Mr. Xiao's old voice finally broke the deadlock, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Mr. Han is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Since he agrees with the abolition of the sanctions of the sanctions, he has taken into account the expenses of the Ministry of Revenue, which is a move of loyalty to the country... In this case, the old minister asked the emperor to entrust the Ministry of War to immediately draft a sanction...!"
The emperor seemed a little disbelief. How could the disarmament be so smooth, he stroked his beard for a moment and did not speak.
Just when the ministers were surprised, Han Xuandao suddenly said, "Sir, I agree with the disarmament, but... I don't know how many soldiers should be laid off when Mr. Xiao advised on the disarmament?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the court officials immediately understood that Han Xuandao was not crazy after all. The other person's countermeasures had just been brought to the table.
Xiao Tongguang immediately said: "From the current East China Sea defense, 20% of the sanctuary army is retained and 3,000 soldiers are enough to guard the front line of the East China Sea!"
"Twenty percent?" Han Xuandao's face showed a contemptuous smile: "Mr. Xiao said such words, I'm afraid he didn't understand the East China Sea defense. The East China Sea coastline is hundreds of miles long, and three thousand soldiers wanted to defend the East China Sea coastline. This is a joke!"
Xiao Tongguang also heard the contempt in Han Xuan's words, and couldn't help but feel very angry and said in a deep voice: "How many soldiers do Xiao Shangshu want to leave?"
"It's not that I want to keep many soldiers." Han Xuandao said seriously: "It's just that we have to consider the East China Sea defense. The East China Sea coastline stretches for hundreds of miles. If we want to be foolproof, the sanctuary army can only lay off one-third at most. If too many layoffs are laid off, the defense force on the front line of the East China Sea will inevitably not be enough!"
"One-third?" Xiao Huaijin also said: "What do you mean is that the tutoring army still has to retain the organization of ten thousand people?"
"This is the minimum limit." Han Xuandao said without hesitation: "In order to save the expenses of the national treasury, it is imperative to abolish a group of sanctuary troops, but to protect the safety of the coastal areas of Wujun and Donghaijun, there must be a 10,000 sanctuary troops..."
Xiao Tongguang shouted loudly: "Shangshu Han, there is no danger in the East China Sea, why do you need so many troops to guard it? You need so many people to deal with whom?"
Han Xuandao sneered: "There is no danger in the East China Sea? Mr. Xiao, but I don't know why you made this statement in the court?"
"This is a well-known thing." Xiao Tongguang said loudly: "The East China Sea pirates have been recruited, and the Qing State Navy is even more vulnerable. Where can the sanctuary troops have any enemies? This is not the East China Sea, what is that?"
Han Xuandao stood up straight, calming like Mount Tai, and said lightly: "As we all know, what Mr. Xiao means, is that all the officials in the court know that the East China Sea is in danger?"
Xiao Tongguang was about to agree to Han Xuandao's question, but he couldn't figure out what Han Xuandao was thinking. After all, this court was not all the members of the Xiao family, so he could only say: "Whether they knew it or not, I knew it clearly. I was ordered to go to the East China Sea with Changde Hou a few years ago, and was even coerced by pirates. Later, the young master reached an agreement with the pirates, and the pirates released me. Afterwards, I wanted to suppress the army and send troops to suppress bandits, but both the Lang and Governor Han said that most of the pirates in the East China Sea had been recruited, which was their own words. Is it false? If they were not recruited, the Lang and the pirates could get so close to each other, and even let the pirates release me... This is a bit intriguing."
Xiao Tongguang was in danger in the East China Sea, which was something that many people knew. After Xiao Tongguang returned to Beijing, he talked about his escape from danger and described himself as calm in the face of danger. Every time he talked about it, the minister was not ashamed, but looked proud.
When he said this in the court, many people could hear that his words alluded to the Han family and the pirates.
Han Xuandao took a step forward, ignored Xiao Tongguang, and bowed to the emperor: "Sage Master Xiao said that there is indeed something wrong with him. He claimed that there is no danger to the East China Sea, but in fact... the troubles of the East China Sea are more severe than before!"
The court officials immediately looked at each other. In fact, everyone knew that the East China Sea Pacifier Army was indeed enjoying peace and did not have much rivals. At this time, after hearing what Han Xuandao said, he didn't know where the "disasters of the East China Sea" that Han Xuandao said came from.
Master Xiao frowned slightly.
With Tai Shi Xiao's shrewdness, he actually knew the temperaments of several opponents in the court. At this time, Han Xuandao was not afraid and said jokingly, calm and calm, and acted very normally. However, in Tai Shi Xiao's eyes, this kind of normality would be very abnormal.
Master Xiao thought that the sword he saw was extremely sharp and the Han family could not handle it, but at this moment he felt that Han Xuandao's reaction today was like a warrior wearing armor, with excellent protection and excellent preparation.
This reaction was keenly aware of the sudden attack on the Korean tribe on the issue of abolishing the tutoring army in the court today. I am afraid that in the eyes of the Korean tribe - at least in Han Xuandao's view, it was not suddenly.
Han Xuandao seemed to have made sufficient preparations for the response.
Deep in the heart of Master Xiao, I immediately felt that the news of the abolition of the tutoring army had been leaked?
In fact, before today, the matter of abolishing the sanction of the sanctioned army was planned secretly. Even the important officials of the Xiao clan knew very little. In addition to Taishi Xiao himself, the Xiao clan was only Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Tongguang. Although these two close relatives had mediocre abilities, Taishi Xiao also knew that no matter how stupid these two people were, no matter how stupid they were, they would not be able to reveal any news.
Apart from that, only the current emperor knows about this.
The day when Master Xiao went to the palace to discuss this matter with the emperor, he simply wanted to see the emperor's reaction to the matter. After all, if this matter had not been supported by the royal family, it would be difficult to do so based on the power of the Xiao family.
Even if the royal family does not support it, as long as the royal family does not object, then this matter will be successful.
Because of this, Taishi Xiao tested the reaction of the royal family in advance, and the attitude shown by the emperor was indeed as Taishi Xiao expected. Although the royal family did not want to interfere directly, the attitude shown by the emperor was obviously happy to see the Han family's policing army being laid off.
As long as people with a little political awareness, they can see that the Han people today are a powerful tool for the royal family to balance the rectification of the Yan State.
However, this weapon seems to be too prickly. In the eyes of the royal family, it can hurt the enemy, but it may also hurt oneself, so the royal family has always used it carefully.
The royal family promoted the Korean clan and gave the Korean clan some power that could fight against the Xiao and Su factions, but they were cautious because the Korean clan itself also had considerable power and was too powerful, which would go against the original intention of the royal clan and pose a threat to the royal clan.
And the Xiao family's own strength is naturally in the East China Sea.
The Koreans have lived in Donghai County for hundreds of years and have deep roots. Moreover, the Koreans have always been kind in the East China Sea, and have a strong mobilization ability in the East China Sea. In addition, there is also a powerful navy named the country and is truly private. These are the foundation of the Koreans.
If there is a chance to weaken the power of the Korean clan, the royal clan will naturally be very happy to see it.
What the royal family most hopes to see is that the strength of the Korean tribe itself has been greatly reduced, and then they can only rely on the royal family, and use the power and power given by the royal family to bite other aristocratic families like mad dogs.
The power given to the Korean clan by the royal family can be taken back at any time, but the power of the Korean clan itself cannot be controlled by the royal family.
Naturally, Master Xiao had seen through the thoughts of the royal family for a long time, and knew that the royal family was to use it and defend it. Moreover, the royal family was willing to see that the strength of the Han family was weakened, so they discussed this discussion with the emperor in advance.
I thought everything was done without realizing it, but Han Xuandao's reaction today was much as Master Xiao expected.
This made Tai Shi Xiao suddenly feel suspicious, and he looked at the emperor on the dragon throne as if nothing had happened, but he was quite suspicious. Could it be that the royal family revealed the news to the Korean people in advance?
However, this is not in the interests of the royal family at all.
What is the abacus of this man on the dragon throne?
...
"Mr. Han is exaggerating?" Xiao Tongguang sneered: "You claim that today's sea disaster is more severe than before, but you don't know where the sea disaster you are referring to comes from?"
"The sea disaster naturally comes from the sea!" Han Xuandao said without hesitation.
"Is it a pirate, or... a native of Qing?" Xiao Huaijin also asked with a sneer.
Han Xuandao looked calm and said slowly: "It is neither the East China Sea pirate nor the Qing Kingdom navy, but... the East China Japanese pirate!"
