Princess Xu giggled.

The emperor was puzzled and asked why he was laughing.

"I discussed with the scholars and bachelors in Zichen Hall again. How could Wei Gao, Gao Yue and others see it thoroughly on the front line? They are both responsible for the management and promotion. You might as well send the three bachelors' thoughts to Victoria quickly. Wei Gao and Gao Yue are responsible for their own accounting. Why bother me?"

This made the emperor suddenly understand. Yes, have I thought too much and given the disposal to Wei Gao and Gao Yue. What they did was not doing well.

At this time, the emperor was eager to summon the Hanlin Bachelor, but he felt that it was too late, so he directly asked Song Ruohua to take charge and wrote the arguments of Wei Zhiyi, Duke Wei and Li Jifu in three sheets of paper, and then asked for an emergency of 800 miles and must be sent to Victoria within five days. Gao and Wei's reply was to be obtained in ten days.

Then Princess Lingxu told her father that what he wanted to do in Zichen Hall now was to ask for military pay from all towns in Guandong and to pay the military salary to the west, and other things were not suitable for me to ask about.

The emperor accepted it too.

Because leaders from ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad should not interfere in the professional field. Whether they are excellent depends mainly on whether they can guarantee the operation of funds from large countries to small enterprises. In short, whether they can provide good welfare. Take the prime minister as an example. He does not need to know how much money there is in the world, nor does he need to know whether the people's livelihood in a certain prefecture and county are good. What he needs to do is to make the government center run smoothly, handle the relationship with the emperor, and arrange the staff of each department to the subordinates.

However, the emperor's confession this time was a bit special.

He asked Huaixi Town for advice.

You should know that in the past, although Wei Bo, Ziqing and other Fangzhen were rebellious, they would still offer hundreds of thousands of yuan to the emperor every year during the relative peacetime period. However, when the Huaixi attacked Wu Shaocheng, the leader of the attack on the river and local thieves, not only did they rely on instructions to rob the Jiang bandits and local thieves, kill and plunder the past business travelers, but also the taxes collected by Shen Guangcai were not paid at all, and the emperor did not dare to come to his house to claim it before.

But now that Wei Gao and Gao Yue's Lu Bu were sent to Zichen Hall, the emperor asked the group of officials to come to Caizhou, claiming that Wei Gao won a great victory at the border and killed tens of thousands of Fanzi prisoners. Anyone with a little common sense knows that if my Tang cavalry continues to advance, he can easily travel across the entire Longyou Prefecture and County to restore him. However, the military expenditure is a bit tight, and the Huaining Army asked 120,000 guan to reward the army.

In the military hall, Wu Shaocheng was furious and said that we, Shen Guangcai, were poor and had to raise tens of thousands of troops. I couldn't bear to eat and wear, just to make the soldiers under my command able to eat and wear well. His Majesty had promised me that Shen Guangcai's treatment for "no registration or no tax", how can we get 120,000 yuan for you now? Could it be that you, if you were the eunuchs who were fed to fill your personal pockets, come to blackmail under the will of Your Majesty?

These senior officials who came to Xuansuo were also selected as "green young men" and immediately gave His Majesty the imperial edict to Wu Shaocheng.

The scene was once awkward, and Wu Shaocheng continued to scold him for fear that someone would have faked the order, and then asked these officials to go to Caizhou City Inn to wait for his news.

Then Wu Shaocheng found Li Yuanping, a counselor, and asked him what to do.

After Li Yuanping heard that Tang had won a great victory against Xifan, he was heartbroken. "When the Sanfancheng Alliance was held, Wei Bo and Ziqing did not listen to my advice. Now, it would be better that the Tang army could defeat Xifan without any worries. After this miserable defeat, Xifan would be in a slump. If Helong is re-introduced into the emperor's territory, Guanzhong will be able to gain a high-level situation in Guandong, and everyone is in danger!"

"Mr. Nayi's opinion?"

Li Yuanping's mung bean eyes turned a few times, saying that the emperor's family is in full swing now, so he must not compete with him. For one moment and another, he would simply give 120,000 guan to get temporary peace.

Then Li Yuanping said: "The emperor's family is also a big talk. I think the Tang army may not be able to capture all Helong. Maybe they will get some land in vain and will not get any profit. Now Li Baozhen of the Zhao Yi army in Zelu is sick. If he dies, there will be a risk of division within the Zhao Yi army. I can take the opportunity to instigate Wei Bo to enter the west to annex the Zhao Yi army's Xing, Ci and Ming, and provoke a civil war between Tang Ting and Heshuo again, and then we fishermen will benefit!"

"How can the fisherman gain the benefit of the law?"

This time, Li Yuanping no longer said that he would go to Shangluo Wu Pass to attack Chang'an. He knew that Gao Yue's Dingwu Army was in a strait, and the children of Huaixi were probably destroyed. Instead, we would be the leader of the alliance and then confront the court. If he could occupy Bian Song, he would occupy Bian Song. If he could occupy Tang Deng, he would occupy Tang Deng, or if he could occupy Huainan, he would occupy Huainan, and if he could occupy E Yue, he would occupy E Yue.

In short, stay tuned and then steal to see if you can turn around.

After all, Shen Guangcai, a "three piece of land" sandwiched between the various towns of the imperial court, was too difficult to raise soldiers or move them, and the situation had to be opened.

In principle, Wu Shaocheng agreed, but he still felt particularly distressed about 120,000 guan.

Seeing his thoughts, Li Yuanping said that he might as well use Huaixi earthen silk to pay for each piece of three stakes of money, and give the court officials 40,000 pieces.

But the officials in the court were not confused. When the Huaixi Military Palace took out 40,000 pieces of earthen silk, put them in bamboo robes, and lined up in vehicles to ask them to take them back to Chang'an, the officials opened them and pulled them out, and then pointed at the nose of the military officials and scolded:

"This was asked by the emperor of the Zichen Hall to come and ask us to come and ask us. The order was written in detail. Other places were given green salt and musk in the northwest, gold and silver utensils from Xingyuan, Sichuan brocades from Shu, Xuanxi gave bronze and silk blankets, which one was not priceless? You Huaixi are really interesting, and you also give this kind of earthen silk! The dignified Fang Yue Jiedushi is nothing like a dog-headed toad, and we are all ashamed of you." After saying that, the officials still couldn't relieve their hatred and tore up several of them on the spot. "When this earthen silk was paid for two taxes this year, it was used as a light goods and made everyone angry. We can't get rid of this matter, and you can't get rid of it. Let's wait and see!"

Listening to the group of eunuchs making trouble outside, Wu Shaoyang in the military mansion was furious and drew his sword to kill them, but was persuaded by Wu Shaocheng and Li Yuanping. In the end, Huaixi Town still took out 120,000 guan of silk and copper coins, and secretly gave the "private money" of 20,000 guan, which was considered to have calmed down the situation.

After the officials left, Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang were angry and secretly vowed to be resentful sooner or later.

At the same time, the messenger sent by the emperor rode a fast horse, crossed Chencang Road, entered the capital of Jianmen, and then passed through the snowy ridge of the west mountain. The horse's hooves slowly and carefully stepped across the swaying bamboo rope bridge, and then arrived at the Wuyou City, Victoria within the specified time.

Lunmangre was leading five thousand troops and ready to join the battlefield of Pingrong, but after learning from the scout that his main army was "defeated", he hurriedly retreated to Wuyou City.
