In the imperial study, Li Qianxun slammed the fold in his hand on the bookcase, angry, and said, "This old fox! He really dares to do such a thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs! ”

Zheng Ziqi stepped forward and picked up the fold and said calmly: "Your Majesty is useless even if you are angry again at this time. This old fox was able to empty the treasury to support his private army, which means that the old fox is now fearless. You have to think of a way. ”

Lin Zhenghao, who was standing on the side, also agreed: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to think of ways to solve these problems, and it is useless to pursue Shen Taoyu and the group of officials under him now." ”

Li Qianxun is not a person who is easy to get angry, she has just returned to the palace, and these people under her hurriedly rushed over, one told her that the treasury was hollowed out by Shen Taoyu to raise the army, and the other told her that most of the officials were already dividing up the assets of Li State, and there were a lot of things in front of her, and it was strange that she could be in a good mood.

Li Qianxun held her forehead, endured the headache that hit her, took a deep breath, and said, "How is the movement over there?" What she wants to ask is what Ying Maitian did during the period when Ying Maitian took over? How can you make such a big deal and not clean it up?

Lin Zhenghao said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, although Shen Taoyu has emptied the treasury, fortunately, Shen Taoyu does not seem to have rebelled for the time being, and he is very quiet." But......" Lin Zhenghao paused for a moment, stopped a little and continued, "I'm afraid that the quieter it is, the less calm the situation will be." ”

Li Qianxun didn't expect this, but it is a good thing that Shen Taoyu does not have any moves at present, once she has a move, even if she has the ability, she will not be able to avoid starting a war, which is the result she is most unwilling to see. "This issue is put aside for the time being, since there is no action, it means that there is no threat for the time being, and there is only one thing I care about now."

Zheng Ziqi and the others understood what she was talking about, but now that the treasury has been emptied by Shen Taoyu, it is estimated that the current treasury of the Li State is barely able to maintain the daily needs of the palace, and if it is necessary to raise the 100,000 soldiers in the mountain range plus the Saraqianghu tribe, the Li State does not have that strength at all now.

Zheng Ziqi was puzzled: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can only ...... this time The two tribes of Sara and Qianghu can only be abandoned, and now the palace is barely spending on weekdays, and if you want to help these two tribes and supply 100,000 troops with food, it is simply impossible. ”

Li Qianxun also understood that what Zheng Ziqi said was the truth, but before she could speak, Lin Zhenghao said anxiously: "Your Majesty! Cannot! Never! Lin Zhenghao even took a few steps forward anxiously, and said, "Sara is rich in horses and livestock, and Qianghu is rich in jewelry, fish, melons and fruits, if you make good use of it, it will definitely be a huge help to the Li State in the future. ”

"But, Ah Hao, don't forget what the situation is in the country of Li now? Li Guo does not have the ability to feed so many people now, and the 100,000 army cannot give up, so it can only give up Sala Qianghu. Zheng Ziqi insisted on his point of view.

Lin Zhenghao was choked by his words and couldn't say anything to refute it, but blushed and said stiffly: "In short, I firmly disagree with giving up Sara and Qianghu." ”

"Then you've come up with a great idea!" Zheng Ziqi retorted.

Li Qianxun listened to their quarrel, although he still had a headache, but he had already made a decision in his heart, so he interrupted their quarrel and said, "Sara Qianghu, I didn't decide to give up. ”

Lin Zhenghao was overjoyed when he heard this, but on the contrary, Zheng Ziqi looked puzzled, but he couldn't tell what the reaction was, but he just asked: "Then Your Majesty already has a countermeasure?" ”

Zheng Ziqi was a little displeased, but he didn't expect Li Qianxun to really leave Sara and Qianghu in the current situation of Li Guo. When Ying Zichu returned to the palace, he discussed this issue with Ying Zichu early. Ying Zichu now has more soldiers than Li Qianxun's 100,000 troops, and Qianghu and Sara's horses and fruits are one of the sources of their income. If Li Qianxun really controlled these two tribes at the time of the fall, they would not have lost a single star.

Therefore, he must prevent Li Qianxun from taking over the two tribes of Saraqianghu that have developed into a small state.

Li Qianxun glanced at Zheng Ziqi indifferently, and wondered why Zheng Ziqi insisted so much today on not letting her recover Saraqianghu. Although there were some doubts in his heart, but out of the principle of employing people without suspicion and suspicion, Li Qianxun planned Zheng Ziqi's behavior to be a kind of loyalty, and did not pay much attention to it, and said: "I already have some eyebrows." ”

Zheng Ziqi naturally didn't miss the doubts that flashed in Li Qianxun's eyes, retracted the breath of persistence before, and returned to his usual appearance.

As soon as Lin Zhenghao heard Li Qianxun say this, he immediately thought of something, looked at Li Qianxun happily, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to ......?"

Li Qianxun showed a smile at this time, she really didn't choose the wrong person, in these aspects, Lin Zhenghao was really sharper than anyone else, and said: "As you think." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, both understanding what the other party's countermeasures were, but they were bitter for Zheng Ziqi and Ouyang Jinzhong on the side. Zheng Ziqi somewhat guessed what they meant, but since Ouyang Jinzhong entered the imperial study, he had no room to speak at all except after telling him about today's situation, and now what Li Qianxun and Lin Zhenghao said made him even more confused.

"I wonder what Your Majesty said about the countermeasure?" Ouyang Jinzhong wiped the cold on his forehead and asked the words.

Li Qianxun thought for a moment and said, "Those officials will never squander the treasury so quickly after emptying the treasury, and I want them to spit it out how they eat it." ”

Lin Zhenghao nodded approvingly. Ouyang Jinzhong also understood what Lin Zhenghao and Li Qianxun meant when she said this, so he asked: "I've eaten all of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to spit it out again." ”

Li Qianxun hooked her lips and smiled, looked at Zheng Ziqi, who became a little silent on the side, and said quite confidently: "Mrs. Zheng's ability is beyond doubt. ”

When Ouyang Jinzhong heard this, he also looked at Zheng Ziqi, indeed, this Zheng Ziqi's ability is not covered, and he doesn't know how popular he is in the court with his three-inch tongue.
