"In that case, let's get down to business, shall we?"

One sentence instantly made all the generals who were still immersed in the delicacy straighten up. Tang Yu on the side also regained his imperial majesty, and the expression on his face was not angry and arrogant.

"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince is talking about?" As the head of the generals, Xu Que asked unyieldingly. When he didn't enter the door before, he thought that Tang Jin had invited them to a banquet to plot a rebellion or something, but now they would never think so. Your family's rebellion was discussed in front of the emperor?

Tang Jin smiled slightly, "It's not a big deal." Mainly, the emperor wants to know about the situation of my Tang soldiers. ”

"What about the soldiers?" Xu Que and the others glanced at Tang Jin suspiciously, and then turned their heads to look at the emperor, who nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

However, now, everyone is even more confused, doesn't the soldier's situation be reported every once in a while? Is it necessary to call them specifically to ask? Or is it ...... What's the meaning of this?

Subconsciously, all the generals couldn't help but think crookedly. The emperor asked about the situation of the soldiers for no reason, obviously he was not really concerned about military affairs, but he should have wanted to hint at something. Could it be ...... The emperor wants to take back their military power?

They looked at each other, and it was clear that they had thought of this as well. After all, the generals who came today are all generals with military power, and those who are at the same level as them, but who don't have military power in their hands, have not come, what does this mean, it is simply not obvious anymore, okay?

Although everyone looked at each other secretly, they still did not escape Tang Jin's eyes, and they suddenly shook their heads helplessly. This person is smart and has the benefits of being smart, and if he is not smart, he is not smart and delicious, although he is good at communicating, he will think crookedly if he doesn't pay attention to it, and he feels that someone wants to harm himself all day long, a typical persecution paranoia.

"Generals, don't think about it, the emperor doesn't want to collect your military power, nor does he want to find an excuse to kill you. The emperor's purpose is really to know about the situation of my Tang Dynasty soldiers, and you can report it truthfully. ”

Tang Jin's straightforward words really made everyone present not react, and several generals glanced at Tang Yu with a weak heart.

"You Aiqing can rest assured, I just want to ask me about the military affairs of the Tang Dynasty, I have no other meaning, if you don't believe it, I can write a holy decree now, and announce it to the world." Tang Yu said casually with a cup of tea.

The words have been said for this, the holy decree has come out, and if you feel that there is a problem again, then even if there is really a problem.

"Well, I'll get started. General Xu, you are the head of the military generals, and you are more responsible for the defense of our Datang border. The border has always been the most bitter and tiring place with the most casualties. Whether it is the supply of the soldiers or the pension of the dead soldiers, these are the top priorities, and they must be the most concerned by the emperor. Tang Jin glanced at Tang Yu as he spoke, and the latter nodded very cooperatively.

"Yes." The emperor nodded, where does Xu Que have a reason to excuse himself? "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the month, the border pass came to report, in the autumn of this year, the barbarians in the north repeatedly violated my Tang border, and my Tang soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy and successfully resisted it outside the country. Although there are injuries among them, the bereavement pensions of the fallen soldiers have been allocated by the household department and are being distributed by the military department one by one. As for the food and clothing of the front-line soldiers, the emperor does not have to worry, although the front-line environment is harsh, he does not have to worry about food and clothing. ”

After Xu Que finished speaking, Tang Yu didn't say anything, but Tang Jin shook his head in disappointment, "Lord Xu, are you sure?" I just said it, to be honest! ”

Xu Que frowned when he heard this, "What does His Royal Highness the Prince mean?" Is it possible to suspect that Xu is not able to fill his pockets? ”

Tang Jin shook his head, "I don't know if you have filled your pockets, but if you don't tell the truth, your crime of bullying the king can be regarded as solid!" ”

"Everything Xu said is true!" Xu Que rubbed some kind of divine oil on his neck.

Tang Jin glanced at Tang Yu helplessly, his eyes were full of inquiry, Tang Yu nodded and agreed to Tang Jin's request. Tang Jin didn't say much, clapped his hands, and a little eunuch walked up from behind, holding a tray in his hand, which was full of sealed letters.

"These are the relevant information about my legions in the Tang Dynasty that the emperor authorized me to buy in Jianmu Zhai today, including what General Xu said about the border...... It's a big difference! ”

As he spoke, Tang Jin opened the top letter without hesitation and read it aloud: "On the fifth day of the first month of October, the barbarian soldiers went south and invaded my border. Broke two cities, captured them three days later, lost more than 1,200 quintals of autumn grain, lost a total of 10,000 soldiers before and after, and the bereavement of the dead soldiers was not paid, all of which were privately intercepted by officers at all levels; On October 20, the barbarians went south again, but failed to break the city, but the food and grass were insufficient, and they asked the capital for help, but to no avail! ……”

After only reading two items, Tang Jin didn't continue to read them, but just these two items made Xu Que's face pale.

"Hmph, General Xu! Xu Aiqing! You're a good general! Tang Yu slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, and looked at Xu Que beside him with a frosty face. This information was indeed agreed by him to Tang Jin to buy from Jianmu Zhai, but because he was in a hurry to buy it, he couldn't read it carefully, so he didn't know the contents. Tang Jin also mysteriously didn't let him see it, and when he said it, he compared it with what General Zhong said, which could not only understand military affairs, but also test loyalty.

Now Tang Yu understands that it is not Tang Jin's excuse to understand military affairs and test loyalty, so he just doesn't let himself watch it, probably because he is afraid that he will not give these generals a chance to eat at all after reading it, so he directly pulled them out and cut them down!

Thinking of those soldiers who fought bloodily for the Tang Dynasty, they couldn't eat enough and dress in the cold and freezing places in the north that day, and those soldiers who died in battle didn't even have a pension, Tang Yu couldn't wait to tear these guys in front of him!

"The Emperor...... Emperor! The emperor forgives the sins! The emperor forgives the sins! The minister doesn't know, the minister really doesn't know! Xu Que, who was completely frightened, immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed like garlic. The border is lost, the supply is vacant, and the pension is embezzled, any one of them can directly send him Xu Que to the guillotine, and now it is a crime of bullying the king...... The Nine Clans are all light!

"I don't know? You told me you didn't know? You don't know what you eat? You, a hussar general, are in charge of the military affairs of my Tang border, and you told me that you didn't know about such a big thing on the border? So who should know? Me or Jin'er? "It's good that Xu Que didn't explain, but when he explained, Tang Yu was even more angry. You told me you didn't know what you were responsible for? Very good, plus a dereliction of duty!

"This ...... This ......" Xu Que obviously also reacted that he had said the wrong thing, but this matter will only get darker and darker, and there is no way to explain it!

"Uncle Huang, can you allow Jin'er to interject a word?" At this moment, Tang Jin's flat voice came, and he handed the letter in his hand to Tang Yu, pointed to the end and smiled meaningfully.

Tang Yu was stunned for a moment, then took the letter in Tang Jin's hand and glanced at it, the anger on his face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, but then another more ferocious anger arose.
