"Master, Prince Yu has arrived." Just when Wu Yue lowered his head and thought about Fu Shan, the solemn appearance that was rare just now, Li Dong, who was standing behind him, said to Wu Yue in a low voice.

Wu Yue raised his head and looked over.

I saw Fuquan, who was served by the prince, led by the deacon and eunuch beside him, walking towards this side.

Wu Yue smiled softly and strode out of the upper study. Seeing Wu Yue coming out from afar, Fuquan hurriedly trotted in front of Wu Yue, bowed down and fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, you are a slave." Fuquan kowtowed to Wu Yue.

Wu Yue hurriedly leaned over, helped Fu Quan up, grabbed his sleeve, and strode towards the upper study.

"You and I are brothers, don't say such things in the future." Wu Yue turned his face, looked at Fuquan, and said with a smile.

"Minions don't dare!" Fuquan's face changed slightly, and he responded with a complimented smile.

"This is my decree to you, and you must follow it!" Wu Yue frowned and said.

"The minion obeys!" Seeing that Wu Yue was displeased, Fuquan hurriedly responded.

"Haha, that's right!" Wu Yue laughed, and the two of them strode directly into the upper study.

Wu Yue didn't sit back on the dragon chair, and then after entering the door, he pulled Fuquan to sit down on the chairs placed under the dragon case and placed in two rows.

Fu Quan sat down at his subordinate position under Wu Yue's instructions.

After sitting down, Wu Yue looked at Fuquan with a sideways face and asked, "Prince Yu, do you have something?" ”

Fuquan nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the minister's envoy in the Yellow River Yellow River Flood Area has come to report that the silver you allocated to Qinghe County to improve people's livelihood has been stripped of seventy percent by Daotai. Now, the silver in the hands of that small county commander is less than 30,000 taels. ”

Wu Yue's face instantly became extremely ugly, and his eyes stared straight at Fuquan.

"Do you know why?" Wu Yue tried hard to control his emotions, calmed his heart, and asked in a low voice.

Fuquan responded, "Listening to the envoy's recital, Daotai has a good heart, and on the grounds that the imperial court allocated silver, could not fatten a county, and needed to take the lead in planning the entire state capital, he withheld 70,000 taels of silver. Nearly half of the food brought with them was deducted. Used for disaster relief in other state capitals. ”

Wu Yue was silent for a moment, and then said, "Has your secret envoy ever inquired whether this silver and grain was arranged by him and sent to other states and counties?" ”

Fuquan nodded, "Decentralization is decentralization." But the numbers are not right. Those states and counties under the rule of Xinyu. This time, there were three county orders sent by the imperial court. ”

"Roughly calculated, just the silver, he deducted more than 200,000 taels, grain, more than 400,000 quintals. However, those that were sent to other states and counties were worth more than 100,000 taels of silver and 300,000 taels of grain. The rest, I don't know where to go. ”

Wu Yue was furious when he heard this. Raised his hand violently and slammed his fist on the armrest of the seat.

Fuquan hurriedly stood up, bowed to Wu Yue and said, "Your Majesty, such blatant greed for ink is appalling. This wind cannot last. It must be pressed. Otherwise, the money you've worked so hard to get won't be enough for these black-hearted fellows. ”

Wu Yue's face turned pale, and his eyes stared straight at Fu Quan for a few minutes, and then he slowly turned around and sat down on the dragon chair.

"What do you say?" Wu Yue asked.

Fuquan frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, the slave believes that it must be severely punished in accordance with the laws of the country. Set an example! ”

Wu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Fuquan who was bowing, and his heart trembled violently.

"Xinyu, this person should be Suo's younger brother, right?" Wu Yue asked in a deep voice.

Fuquan nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Xinyu is Sony's fourth son."

"Then have you ever thought that once the imperial court attacks Xinyu, what will Suo Etu do?" Wu Yue asked.

Fu Quan was stunned, then bowed down and said, "The slave doesn't know this, and he hasn't thought about it. The slave believes that the current imperial court is at an unprecedentedly difficult time. One or two pieces of silver must be broken in half and spent. Food, that's even more scarce. Therefore, for this kind of greed for ink, the court must severely punish it! Otherwise, it will not only make the imperial court fall into trouble again, but also make those Han people who have slightly changed their views of the imperial court feel cold again. ”

Wu Yue nodded seriously.

"Send a decree to ask for a map, let him enter the palace to face the saint!" Wu Yue said to the deacon eunuch guarding the palace gate.

"Huh!" The deacon and eunuch bowed deeply towards Wu Yue, then turned around and trotted away.

Wu Yue retracted his gaze and looked at Fuquan, "I will deal with this matter." ”

"Hmm!" Fuquan smiled and nodded, and under Wu Yue's instructions, he turned around and sat back on the seat.

At this time, Rong Xiang'er held a tray in both hands, and on the tray, two cups of fragrant tea were placed, and walked over slowly.

Rong Xiang'er stepped in front of Wu Yue, lightly placed the teacup on the dragon case with both hands, and then walked down slowly, putting another cup of fragrant tea on the tea table next to Fuquan. Then he slowly retreated.

Fuquan frowned and looked at Rong Xiang'er, showing hesitation, but after a moment, he withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, Wu Yue didn't notice Fuquan's eyes, but lowered his head, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Fu Quan looked at Wu Yue sideways, and after seeing his contemplative expression, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hang a shallow smile. But this mysterious smile only stayed for a few seconds, and then it was all retracted.

This subtle change was seen by Rong Xiang'er, who had just retreated to the inner hall and was looking up at him.

Rong Xiang'er's face instantly became serious. But he still lifted the curtain and retreated into the inner sanctum.

"Your Majesty, how are the preparations going in the Fire Machinery Academy? It's been some time since the minions left the Yellow Flood area, and I'm worried that there will be some tricky things to deal with on the errand over there. So you see, can you push it. ”

"If the party leader has any difficulties, he can first deliver the giant water cannon and explosives that have been prepared. As for the rest, the court can send someone to send it to the minions. You can't stop the waterway management over there. As Fu Quan spoke, he arched his hand towards Wu Yue.

Wu Yue slowly raised his head and responded, "Well, what you said makes sense. Wait a minute, I will discuss with Dang Chongya to see how he has prepared his explosives, if it has been prepared, tonight, I will order the Fire Machine Institute to pack up and get into the car, and you, set off tomorrow! ”

"Huh!" Fuquan stood up and bowed deeply towards Wu Yue.

"Yes." Wu Yue nodded slightly.

"Then the emperor, the slave will go back to the palace, prepare, arrange, and leave tomorrow." Fuquan continued.

Wu Yue nodded, "Okay." Then kneel down. Wu Yue said softly.

"The minions are gone!" Fuquan bowed to Wu Yue again, and then slowly exited the upper study.

And just a few minutes after Fuquan withdrew from the upper study, Su Malagu pulled Rong Xiang'er and walked out of the inner hall slowly, striding towards the dragon case where Wu Yue was.
