The right prime minister's mansion in Phoenix.

For nearly half a year, he didn't receive any more information from the west, which made Hao Linling's heart difficult to calm down. In particular, the daily affairs of the military department have been too smooth recently, and it is clear that the west has been mobilizing troops on a large scale on the border, but the country is still doing some daily trivial things in a step-by-step manner, as if nothing has been noticed.

After the morning of the third day of the junior high school, Hao Linling, the right prime minister, sat alone in the secret room of the prime minister's mansion for a long time, and finally couldn't help but call the bookkeeper Mr. Hao Jian to the living room.

"Xiangye."

After Hao Jian knelt down and kowtowed, he lowered his hand and bowed his head to wait for Hao Linling's command.

"This year's autumn harvest is coming to an end, have you counted the income?"

"Back to Xiangye, although all places have reported the number of dues, but they have not yet been fully put into storage, so the villain wants to slow down and report to Xiangye."

"Let's hear it first."

"Yes. The total income reported by the eighteen farms was 1,450,000 taels of silver. As of today, the actual storage is 1.03 million, and there is still a shortage of 420,000. The income from copper mines has increased slightly compared with last year, and so far, a total of 14.9 million taels have been put into storage. The income of the five ranches was reported at 5.8 million taels, and the actual amount was 3.67 million taels. The income of other pawnshops and grocery stores was 3,640,000 taels. The total amount of the above warehousing is 23.29 million taels. ”

"Well, what is the total amount of silver taels in the house now?"

"Back to Xiangye, excluding the unpaid daily expenses of 560,000 taels, the total is more than 78.43 million taels."

"As of today, all accounts payable are on hold."

"Yes, Xiangye. It's just that....... ”

"What, say."

"The middle of the month is the day to pay your taxes."

"Taxes? How much? ”

"If the amount reported by various localities is correct, the tax payable this time is 2.4 million taels."

"Hold on."

When Hao Jian heard these two words, he obviously paused for a moment before agreeing:

"Obey the orders of the Prime Minister."

"Let's go down."

"Yes."

sent away Hao Jian, the account room, and the right prime minister sent someone to invite the diners of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Xiangye, the student is polite."

"Mr. Tong doesn't have to be polite, please sit down and talk."

"Xie Xiangye."

As a child, he was a middle-aged man in his early forties, with a medium build, a fair and quiet face, light eyebrows and thin eyes, five long strands of hair under his chin, and a gray gown, giving people a sense of fairy wind and bones.

"Xiangye has rare leisure, and I don't know if I have something to tell if I want to call students to come."

Although he knew the purpose of Hao Linling's call, he still pretended to be confused and asked. Hao Linling didn't bother to say anything else, and went straight to the point.

"Didn't you notice anything unusual, sir?"

"Xiangye refers to the fact that he hasn't received the news for a long time?"

Seeing that Hao Linling didn't go around the bend, his childhood went straight to the bend.

"It's been nearly eight months since the fourteenth day of the first lunar month of spring, and not a single word has been transmitted, isn't it strange?"

"There is nothing strange about it, there was a secret letter in early March, and another in mid-May, but they have all fallen into the hands of Sang Cheng."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Hao Linling suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Xiangye Hugh should be frightened, everything is under control."

Hao Linling was suspicious that he would sit there calmly and calmly before slowly sitting back in his seat.

"Now that the matter has been revealed, why is there no movement?"

"It's not that there is no movement, it's just that Xiangye has been kept in the dark."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Does Xiangye know what the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household have been doing in the past few months? What did Prime Minister Lin Tong do again? ”

"Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Households? It seems to be just a little busier than usual, and I didn't see anything unusual. As for Lin Tong, hasn't he been busy with things over there in Fenglin County? ”

"Hehe, Xiangye. In the past six months, the household department has secretly raised more than one million men and horses for half a year's grain and grass, and successively transported it to the Crouching Tiger Army camp in Xianglin County. The left prime minister, Lin Tong, only stayed on the ground in Fenglin County for less than half a month, and spent the rest of his time traveling back and forth to Xianglin County and inspecting the camp of the Crouching Tiger Army. ”

"It is true that a lot of weapons have been added to the armory, because the west has been mobilizing troops, and this is normal. As for the household department raising grain and grass, the prime minister also knows a thing or two. It's just that I don't know when it was transported to the Crouching Tiger Army camp, why didn't Xiong Huang mention it in the letter? Lin Tong was so bitter that he was hiding his true appearance. ”

"Xiong Huang is Sangcheng's Xiong Huang, not Xiangye's Xiong Huang."

"How did Mr. know about these things?"

After all, he almost didn't leave the prime minister's house every day when he was a child, so it was inevitable that Hao Linling would be puzzled.

"The channel for transmitting information to Xiangye has been broken, but there has always been contact with the students."

Since he was reluctant to say it explicitly in childhood, Hao Linling did not ask how they were connected.

"Why has Sang Cheng intercepted two secret letters, but he hasn't done it for a long time?"

"Border wars can happen at any time, even if Sang Cheng believes that Xiangye has different intentions, he doesn't dare to act rashly. The Hao family has been operating for countless generations for countless years, how can it be moved lightly? This point, Xiangye should know better than the student. Sang Cheng is not a stupid person, in the face of external worries, if he is not fully prepared, he will not rashly move the Hao family, in case it is not handled properly and then cause internal troubles, it is definitely not Sang Cheng's willing situation. ”

After listening to his childhood's words, Hao Linling pondered for a while and asked tentatively:

"Does this mean, sir, that is the right time to act?"

"Definitely. As the saying goes, you can't do it twice. If we want to prevent external troubles, we cannot take care of internal troubles, and if we want to relieve internal troubles, it is difficult to take care of external worries. Of course, the premise is that both external and internal troubles are enough to kill people. ”

After speaking, the childhood obviously handed Hao Linling a look of "Xiangye can be confident".

Hao Linling, who understood the meaning in his childhood eyes, said with a smile:

"At present, the Royal Forest Army is completely in the hands of the Prime Minister, and the Flying Bear Army of Heilin County is also under control, including some of the senior members of the six major departments, who are also on the side of the Prime Minister. Enough, right? ”

"What do you think? Although the Imperial Forest Army could besiege the palace in a short period of time, it was difficult to make Sang Cheng submit in a short period of time. Xiangye should know about the Praetorian Guard, right? ”

"Of course, nominally under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Forest Army, in fact, it is the Royal Army directly under Sang Cheng."

"In addition, does Xiangye know how many troops the Praetorian Guard Regiment has in total and what is the combat effectiveness?"

For this question, Hao Linling could only shake his head. Not only will he shake his head, but the whole country, except for the emperor Sang Cheng, it is estimated that whoever asks will have the same answer. Including Yan Biao, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, he didn't know how many squads the Praetorian Guard Regiment had, how many people were in each squad, and he didn't even know where each squad was secretly stationed.

"Sir knows?"

Childhood shook his head in the same way.

"Xiangye, figuring out the strength of the Praetorian Guard is the top priority. Also, the Flying Bears of Blackforest County are far from Phoenix City as close to the Flying Eagles to the west. If things are rushed, can Xiang Ye guarantee that the Flying Bear Army can rush to Phoenix City before the Flying Eagle Army? ”

Seeing that Hao Linling was speechless, he continued to ask:

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, can Xiangye ensure that those who are close to Xiangye on weekdays in the six major ministries will not defect at a critical time?"

"At least 50% sure."

"It's a matter between the two, and it's not enough to rely on."

"What do you mean?"

Obviously, he had a plan in his heart as a child, and after a little groaning, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Hao Linling, the right prime minister.

"Xiangye, please take a look, the prince's handwriting."

Hao Linling took it and opened it, and Yiran said in surprise:
