The queen took out a memorial and handed it to Li Xian.
"Your Majesty, Old Marquis should have come here for this memorial."
Li Xian flipped through the memorial in a hurry, and he quickly saw what Lin Wan'er had annotated in the small script.
It turned out that this was a memorial from the general of Liao Town.
Liao Town was the front line of the Great Xia Dynasty against the northern barbarians.
During the period of the Founding Emperor, the army of the Great Xia Dynasty assembled military soldiers in Liao Town and went out to attack the northern barbarians.
However, in the period of the Founding Emperor, the tribal integration of the northern barbarians gradually rose.
Founding Emperor began to build the Great Wall and bunkers in Liao Town and gradually turned from offense to defense.
In the period of the late emperor, the northern barbarians went south from Liao Town many times, threatening the Gyeonggi (most populous province) area in the heart of the empire.
Later, it was Yang Tianwu, Marquis of Shenwu, who personally led the Imperial Forest Army to send troops to Liao Town.
In the battle of Liao Town, the main force of the northern barbarians was defeated, and this ushered in ten years of peace for the former emperor.
However, after Li Xian succeeded to the throne, the new lord also rose among the northern barbarians.
The ambitious lord of the prairie began to gradually rise again, and Liao Town was under tremendous pressure.
Liao Town is a semi-militarized management area.
There is no chief envoy to govern the county, only Liao Town's commander-in-chief is in charge of the military and civilians.
This memorial was signed by the Liao Town Commander-in-Chief, and the content is also very simple.
In order to resist the northern barbarians in Liao Town, both the army and the people suffered great losses.
Especially many non-commissioned officers are handicapped.
Liao Town is in the north, where it is bitterly cold and the environment is harsh.
Many disabled soldiers froze to death and starved to death every winter.
This greatly affected the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Liao Town.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief of Liao Town requested the imperial court to rescue these disabled soldiers.
It turned out to be this thing.
This is also in line with Yang Tianwu's character of loving soldiers.
Sure enough, Marquis of Shenwu - Yang Tianwu stepped into the front hall.
Li Xian hastily greeted him.
Li Xian still respects this great general of the previous generation.
Even if he was a fool, Li Xian would not attack Yang Tianwu.
Except for a little bad temper, the lineage of Marquis Shenwu has served the country for generations.
It can be regarded as the most loyal military service of the empire.
Li Xian treated each other with courtesy, and Old Marquis's complexion also became better.
"Has Your Majesty read the memorial of the Liao Town Commander?"
"Old Marquis, I have already seen it."
Old Marquis sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers have worked hard, and it's not easy to guard the border. I'm afraid it will hurt the morale of the northern border if the disabled froze to death."
Li Xian followed the words and said: "Old Marquis loves soldiers like sons, I already know that. I am going to instruct the cabinet to arrange for them."
At this moment, the system suddenly jumped out.
[Discover the national policy! How to Place Disabled Soldiers?!]
[This national policy can change the fate of the country. Should an imperial meeting be held?]
Wait, did this trigger the [Policy System]?
You can continue to ruin the fate of the country again!
Li Xian stood up happily!
Last time, when the East Factory was established, it suddenly reduced 5,000 points of national luck!
Am I going to become immortal soon?
Li Xian immediately said: "Old Marquis, such a big matter needs to be discussed carefully."
Old Marquis Yang also nodded.
Li Xian continued: "I don't think it's okay to leave it in the cabinet! This matter needs to be discussed with the ministers."
Seeing Li Xian's positive appearance, Yang Tianwu asked suspiciously: "It's just to relocate some disabled soldiers. So there's no need for Your Majesty to go to such lengths?"
According to the old Marquis's idea, it is to ask the court to give these disabled soldiers a pension and help them get through their life.
This was also done during the late Emperor's time.
Unexpectedly, Li Xian would hold an imperial meeting to discuss this matter.
This made Yang Tianwu surprised.
Li Xian continued: "I'm going to make an order now! Call for an imperial meeting!"
Yang Tianwu was also fooled by Li Xian's positive attitude.
"Come here! Ask Lord Lin - Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Lord Wu - Ministry of the Household Department, and relevant officials to go to the Imperial Study Room for a meeting!"
"Old Marquis, you should also attend as the honorary representative!"
Yang Tianwu nodded and said: "The old man thanks Your Majesty on behalf of those soldiers!"
Soon, Lin Jiancheng, who was working in the cabinet, received the order from the eunuch.
Imperial meeting?
Your Majesty is not going to the morning court, so you want to hold an imperial meeting?
It seems that His Majesty has not completely given up control of the court.
Lin Jiancheng tidied up his official uniform, and under the leadership of the eunuch, he came to the imperial study.
The placement of disabled soldiers involves the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the rewards and punishments of officers are managed by the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of Rites.
Therefore, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households were called to attend this meeting.
Before entering the imperial study, the Minister of the Ministry of the Household Department was full of complaints.
"Master Chief Assistant! The household department is running a huge deficit! It really can't afford the pensions for these soldiers!"
The Minister of the Ministry of Officials also said: "The military towns everywhere are overcrowded. There is really no place to accommodate these disabled military soldiers."
Lin Jiancheng also has a headache.
One can't cook without ingredients.
That's why the memorial of the Liao Town Commander will be sent all the way to the emperor.
It is also because the treasury is out of money.
The officials all over the court are waiting for His Majesty to allocate money from the inner treasury.
Lin Jiancheng also knew the court's difficulties, but he is different from those ordinary officials.
He has been planning to reform and increase the court's power!
This imperial meeting is the opportunity that Lin Jiancheng has been waiting for.
Only when the emperor realizes the difficulties of the country's finances, the emperor will support his reform.
Finally, Li Xian came to the imperial study.
The ministers also entered the imperial study.
And as soon as they entered the imperial study room, they saw Yang Tianwu, the Marquis of Martial Arts with a dark face.
The minister's face turned pale instantly.
Why is this great god here? This time Ministry is definitely going to bleed!
