The capital, on the tower of the north gate.

In the dark night, Mo Xi stood with his hands in his hands, staring at the darkness in the distance.

Liu Qi stood beside him, and the two looked at each other silently.

They had been standing here all night, and everything that had to be said had been made clear. After dawn, report the matter about Mu Fuduo to Emperor Xinwu, and then after Xuanyi's internal review, hide some truths, and then announce it to the world, completely rehabilitating Liu Mingyuan's family. In the end, there is another round of bloody officialdom.

The killing of the killing, the distribution of the distribution, the revenge of the revenge, this is the final result of this case.

At this time, it was already the fourth watch, the full moon was long gone, and the cool wind was blowing in the dark night. It was almost dawn, but it was the darkest hour before dawn.

Suddenly, a striking light suddenly erupted on the outskirts of the city and far away from the North Pole, and disappeared in a flash.

After Mo Xichao saw the light, he let out a long sigh of relief, and the nerves that had been tense all night suddenly relaxed, which made him feel like he was prostration, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "It's night, go back." ”

"Hmm. Liu Qi nodded.

The two turned around, jumped off the tower, and returned to the capital.

……

The nameless barren mountain collapsed violently, and in the dark night, an extremely dazzling light flashed.

Three miles to the east, a wave of air came, and the windy wind blew Li Lekong's big windbreaker violently.

Behind him, more than 1,100 Tigers remained motionless in the face of such a wave of aura.

Gale winds, sand and gravel, slanted trees, and silent crowds make for a strange picture at this moment.

Emperor Xinwu's clothes were also fluttering in the wind, which ruffled his hair and blew his eyes red.

He muttered, in a voice that only he could hear, "Father, are you satisfied with such a funeral object?"

And at this moment, Dongfang Zhuo felt that the strength of his whole body was drained, his legs were also a little weak, and he said in a trembling voice: "To ...... Supreme Master, Grand Governor, it's done, it's done, it's done, that kind of killing array, none of them want to come out alive......"

Emperor Xinwu clenched his fists, and after the qi wave stopped, he exhaled softly: "Yes, it's done." ”

Then he laughed, and the tears of laughter were almost left, and he lined up Li Le's shoulder and said, "Zhi'an, what a plan! They were all wiped out, and I finally raised my eyebrows to the ancestors and ancestors." ”

Speaking of this, he said in a deep voice with solemnity in his trembling voice: "Zhi'an, I thank you." How fortunate I am to have such a close friend as you in this life. You are my friend Zhu Xiaoying for life!"

But Li Le shook his head and said: "The Supreme has raised love, there are countless smart people in the past generations of Great Shang, it is impossible for them to think of such a method, but no one dares to do it." First, it is because this is a desecration of the remains of the first emperor no matter what, and even if someone proposes it, the emperors of all dynasties will not accept it. ”

"The second is to worry about the revenge of those ghosts, the 'change of gods', vividly, and the ancestors must not be careless. If it comes again, I'm afraid that the big chamber of commerce will be in danger and the society will not be protected. And the reason I dare to do this is because I have eaten the minds of those ghosts, and they just think of it as a 'game'. ”

"As long as the change of throne does not change, and there is no Divine Sect Zen to let Yingzong's emergencies happen, then, even if all these ghosts are dead, that Tianzun will not care anymore. Robbing the remains of the previous emperors is said to be their primary goal, but with the incident of Tie Zhongtang scattering the ashes of the Liezong as evidence, I feel that this matter is promising. ”

"So I thought, although they attach great importance to the loss of the previous emperors, it doesn't seem to matter if there are one or two less, after all, there has never been a 'world attack on business' since Liezong. To put it bluntly, I'm just gambling, betting on something I'm not sure about. ”

"Whether the bet was right or not, it's hard to say, it's still inconclusive. To be honest, I don't like this feeling very much, and I don't like gambling very much, and only a narrow-minded person like Yue Yongxing can do this kind of thing that depends on luck, which makes me feel very uncomfortable, because I don't know the bottom of my heart. Alas...... You dare to agree to this. Should I say you're stupid, and I should praise you for your big heart?"

Emperor Xinwu smiled and said: "What will happen in the future, that is a matter for the future, at least at this time, I am comfortable and happy! If there is another situation of 'attacking business from all over the world', I should respond, I am afraid that he will come from? Besides, if such a thing really happens, from the perspective of the Yingzong Dynasty, they will have to prepare for several years, or will the countries take turns to go into battle." ”

"With this vacancy, I am afraid that my Xuanyi has already completed the inspection of the world, and at that time, the national strength is condensed, I want money and money, I want soldiers to have soldiers, I want the people to have the hearts of the people, I want the hearts of the army to have the hearts of the army, and how about raising the strength of a country to fight with the world? I want to borrow this wind to achieve my name as the 'Emperor of Xinwu'!"

His words were sonorous and powerful, and the feeling of contempt for the world still rose.

But Li Le didn't have such a feeling, when he heard him say, 'I want money and money', I felt extremely distressed, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about the future, just say that in front of you, in order to keep all these guys, just to see this burst of light, blowing this gust of wind, nearly 10 million taels of silver are gone." This is still not to hire labor, but to use the more than 30,000 arrested prisoners for free, otherwise it will cost more money. So, Supreme, can the inner treasury or the treasury make up for the loss of Xuanyi?"

Emperor Xinwu snorted and sneered: "Didn't you say that three or four million taels could be done at the beginning? Why is it now ten million taels again?"

Li Le gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Make it clear, you said that you can't cause too much movement." If they had followed the original plan and buried tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder directly underground, none of them would have survived. But in that case, I'm afraid it will cause a medium-sized earth dragon to turn over in the left side of the capital, and you have just ascended the throne, so that the good deeds can say another word of supreme and unreasonable, pampering the traitor, conniving at Xuanyi, and doing perverse acts, so will you not be mixed up in the future?"

"It's not going to move much, and it's going to kill them all, in the past few months, the various ministries and institutes of Xuanyi have almost poured out, and the cost of purchasing materials for the Guangjie Greedy Command Department is as much as more than 7 million taels, and it has to be carried out secretly. Although the spiritual liquid can basically be mass-produced now, after this loss, the internal supply of the Xuanyi will definitely be in short supply within half a year. Let's discuss whether the treasury and the inner treasury can make up for this gap? Otherwise, Xuanyi will be stagnant for half a year, or even a year. ”

Li Le spit bitter water, but Emperor Xinwu shook his head and said in a low voice: "Don't think about it on the treasury side, they just give Xuanyi a little basic money, or according to the border army, it can be regarded as preferential." And tonight there is no way to say this explicitly, so it is impossible to allocate funds to the treasury. The inner library can make up a little ......"

"How much?"

"About four or five hundred thousand taels ......"

"Damn!"

"I also have to support my family, the expenses in the palace are really not small, my savings are only a thousand children and 80,000 taels of silver, the concubines, the filial piety of the concubines, the body of the concubines in my harem, the widowed emperors of the ancestors, and the rewards of the princes and county kings of the Zhu family, as well as the 20,000 eunuchs and eunuchs serving in the palace. ”

“…… Being an emperor is so miserable?"

"The rules set by the great grandfather when he founded the country, the inner treasury and the treasury are separated, I am considered a rich emperor, at least I still have four or five hundred thousand taels of savings, all for you. I save a little, wear a few fewer clothes, eat a few fewer dishes, and let the palace buy less. ”

Hearing such an answer, Li Le glanced at Emperor Xinwu sadly, and said in his heart, this emperor is too miserable. It's also the Ninety-Five Supreme, it's not as happy as me, and the buckle search makes people look scared. sighed and said, "Forget it, you can keep that bit of silver, it won't do much anyway." I'll find another way to ...... Xuanyi's turnover."

Speaking of this, Li Le paused, rolled his eyes and said: "This time, the cavalry is everywhere, and the seizure should not be small, the old rules, the officials who are greedy for ink will return to the treasury, the gangs in various places will return to Xuanyi, and the confiscated ones of the Xungui's family will also belong to the forbidden army, and the inner treasury cannot be touched, so the losses of the forbidden army must be made up." ”

"......" Emperor Xinwu was silent for a long time, and said: "According to you, I suddenly feel that I am a thief sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils at this time. ”

Li Le smiled and said, "The royal treasury doesn't have enough money, so let's find a way to make money." ”

Emperor Xinwu sighed and said: "The eunuchs who control the imperial merchants are not powerful, the imperial merchants are full of fat brains, and the eunuchs who supervise the imperial merchants are also fed by them, I have only been on the throne for seven months now, and I have killed three eunuchs sent abroad, and the result is no improvement, besides, those imperial merchants are strict in their accounts, and they have contacts with the royal princes, county kings and nobles, it is a big net, and they have no actual evidence of crime, I can't send Xuanyi out, so ......"

Speaking of this, Emperor Xinwu spread his hands and seemed powerless.

Li Le smiled: "I'll give you an idea, a way to make money quickly." ”

Xinwu was puzzled and asked, "What idea?"

Li Le said with a smile: "Looking for the world, the Supreme walked out of the Great Interior, out of the capital, looking for the territory of the Great Commerce, from south to north, from east to west. The slogan is: Investigate the people's feelings. Whenever he went, he did not offend the daily work of the local officials, but only went to the princes and princes, as well as the nobles, or some royal merchants, and let them be in charge of the supreme deeds and so on. ”

When Emperor Xinwu heard this, he frowned and pondered.

Li Le continued: "There are always people in this world who want to drill camps, and the Supreme is the best, don't officials from all over the world want to see the face of the sky? Want to see the Supreme and show his face in front of the Supreme? It's simple, and it costs money." The royal princes can welcome the Supreme without a number of courtesies? extravagance and waste, that is for sure, if you want to find out the mind of the Supreme, it is simple, and it costs money. ”
