"Holy Lord, I don't know what is the important matter of calling Weichen to come?"

A middle-aged man in a lilac official robe knelt on one knee and looked at Zhao Ji standing next to the bookcase.

"Li Aiqing, you're here!" As soon as Zhao Ji turned around, after seeing the appearance of the person who came, he was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and sat in his place.

"The saint, the minister Li Gang is the liver and brain, and after death, it is difficult to repay the kindness of the saint!" Li Gang saw that Zhao Ji valued himself so much, and he was moved to tears for a while.

Zhao Ji walked to the wooden chair opposite, sat down and said with a smile: "The prime minister is the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty, don't say this seat, even this Great Song Dynasty world is also shared by me and the prime minister!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji's eyes sank, and he changed his words and said, "Does the prime minister know about the recent invasion of Liaokou?"

Li Gang sighed and said, "This kind of Liao Kou renegades are really the most despicable of the barbarians!" Dare to ask Your Majesty if you have thought this matter through? ”

"Prime Minister, it's not that I don't need soldiers." Zhao Ji shook his head slightly, and said in a serious tone: "Over the years, I have been plagued by barbarians in the Song Dynasty, and there are high-ranking Tongguan disciples who hold power and bully me, and I can't say if I have suffering."

"That'...... What does the Holy Providence mean? ”

Li Gang frowned slightly, now that Gao Yu Tong Guan and his ilk have already lost their prestige, even Qiu Yue, a henchman under Gao Yu, has come to defect to him, what reason can this emperor have for not sending troops?

Could it be that I called myself here today to listen to his grievances?

"Prime Minister." Zhao Ji sighed heavily, looked out the door, and said with a hint of worry in his eyes: "You also know that the military expenses of officials from all over the country, as well as the military expenses of the forbidden army in the capital and the northwest border army, are not small!"

"Now the large and small miscellaneous expenses of the DPRK and China are even more numerous, where can I still get the salary to send troops to the front line?"

When Li Gang heard this, if he didn't understand it anymore, he didn't have to mix it up, and he could throw away the prime minister for decades and go home to raise pigs!

What kind of miscellaneous expenses, it is clear that the flowers and stones in various places have been made for so many years, and officials from all over the country have used the government treasury for various reasons, and even a strange stone is transported from Hangzhou to Tokyo, which costs tens of thousands of taels of silver!

At first, it was a trick from the people, and you and the people not only got in the way and had to demolish the house, but also had to drink and meat to reward these officials!

Later, a certain extremely smart official came up with a way to ask the court for money!

Yes, when the saint heard that he had found a huge number of strange stone antiques, he was immediately overjoyed, and with a wave of his big hand, he brushed millions of taels of silver and went down to the grassroots level with the holy decree.

Those officials and masters had funds, and they had already gone to heaven, and they directly grabbed strong men to do coolies, and went to Jiangnan to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and lived for more than half a year.

With financial allocation, isn't it just lying down to get credit?

So more and more people want to be officials, and if they can't be officials, they simply go to kill people and set fire to be edicted.

In the past two years, not only have there been more and more redundant officials and redundant troops across the country, but the situation in Jiangnan has also become more and more unstable.

What's more, the deficit in the treasury is even more serious, and even the officials of the DPRK and China are about to lose their money!

Li Gang scolded in his heart: "This is what you can't support, if it weren't for your son being more wasteful, Lao Tzu would be too lazy to bother to work hard and tired!"

However, he definitely couldn't show it, so Li Gang had to force a smile and said, "So, dare to ask the Holy Lord, how to deal with the chaos on the border of the Northern Lands?"

A smile crossed the corner of Zhao Ji's mouth, took a letter from the table, and handed it to Li Gang.

Li Gang frowned, but still opened the envelope and took out the paper to look at it.

As soon as his gaze was halfway over, Li Gang couldn't sit still.

Patient, he still forced himself to watch it.

Zhao Ji stared at Li Gang, this person's face became more and more solemn, and later, Li Gang put the letter paper on the bookcase on the side, took a deep breath, and then spoke: "Shengshang, the minister thinks that the matter of Zhao'an Song Jiang is very inappropriate!"

"Why?"

Zhao Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was a little impatient.

Li Gang said in a deep voice: "Holy thoughts, let's not say that these people are a group of rabble, making them the vanguard and insulting the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty, now the bandits in the Great Song Dynasty are rampant, the reason is that the first emperor appointed a large number of local bandits as court officials, so that today's bandits have followed suit, how can they repeat the same mistakes now?"

Zhao Ji listened to Li Gang's words, and was silent for a while before asking, "So, what is the prime minister's good plan?"

"In Yichen's opinion, the current situation is critical, and it is necessary to divide the troops into three ways with the power of thunder to quickly sweep away the Liaokou."

Li Gang's face was solemn, and he blurted out: "For today's plan, Taishi Cai has two tiger generals, one is a big sword Guan Sheng, it is after the martial saint Guan Gong, a double whip Hu Yanzhuo, and the founding general of the Great Song Dynasty Hu Yanzan, so that the two of them lead the northwest border army of 150,000 as the vanguard, and they will definitely be able to break the Liaokou!"

"In addition, there is a person surnamed Lu in Hebei Daming's Mansion, and his two names are Junyi, who is a disciple of Zhou Tong with an iron arm, known as the first in the world in martial arts, this person has both wisdom and bravery, and can raise 50,000 forbidden troops for grain and grass escort and follow-up troops."

After Li Gang finished speaking, he sat up straight and watched Zhao Ji's response.

Zhao Ji didn't rush to express his position, but just smiled and said: "The prime minister's words are clever, it's just that you have heard that the former Gaotang Prefecture was broken by the Liangshan army?"

"The minister has heard of it." Li Gang nodded slightly.

"Do you know that Zhu Wuren, who is under Gao Lian, is called the world's first formation master, and the world says that his formation is not under Wuhou!" Zhao Ji stood up and said with an excited expression, "Although the Liangshan Army is a puddle of grass, it can break through this formation!" ”

"What?" Li Gang also stood up, and said with a gloomy face: "Where did this message come from?"

It stands to reason that things within Gao Yu's sphere of influence will never appear on his side, and even if things make a big fuss, it will be difficult for his own people to find out.

"This matter was reported by General Qiu." Zhao Ji walked around the room and sat down again.

"Your Majesty, this person should not be too trusting, no matter what, it is necessary to guard against others!" Li Gang said solemnly.

After all, although this Qiu Yue said that he was almost killed by Gao Yu and defected today, after all, this person was once Gao Yu's henchman.

If it weren't for the bruises on this person's beaten body, and his words, he wouldn't have believed him.

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, and said, "So, how about immediately issuing an edict to Zhao'an Shuibo Liangshan?"

"From the minister's point of view, Song Jiang can be ordered to prepare his own grain and grass." Li Gang thought about it for a moment, and then added: "Wait until Song Jiang and the others have made military merits, and then they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds!"

Zhao Ji didn't speak, just smiled, he naturally understood that Song Jiang was just a chess piece.

Who will take him seriously when faced with a dispensable person?

"By the way, I heard that there is a leader named Dong Shuang in the Liangshan army, whose skills are far above the rest of the bandits." Zhao Ji walked to the side of the map and looked around on the wall, "Zhu Wu's circulating gossip array was broken by him last time, and this time it will be used by the imperial court!" ”

Li Gang's eyes were shocked, and he suddenly spoke: "The day before yesterday, this Kaifeng Mansion searched for a person named Dong Shuang in the whole city, could it be that these two people are the same person?"

"Such miracles?" Zhao Ji turned around, and there was a brilliance in his eyes, "Spread my will, all the officials of the prefectures and counties near the capital will come to Tokyo within three days, dig three feet into the ground, and find out this person!" ”

Inside the inn, on the second floor.

Dong Ping sat on the wooden bed in the room, holding his head with his right hand, and the whole person looked a little decadent.

Today's events are really beyond my expectations.

Raising his head, there was still a trace of bloodshot in his eyes, and Dong Ping stood up numbly.

I searched outside for most of the night today, but I didn't find Cheng Wan'er.

After the pent-up that had been accumulated for many days was exhausted, a deep sense of remorse followed.

Anyway, I was really too impulsive today, no matter what Cheng Wanli did, it was not Cheng Wan'er's fault.

After thinking about it, Dong Ping was still ready to use the system to see if he could query a person's specific positioning.

Sometimes I am busy and chaotic, and only now do I remember the existence of the system.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a heavy knock on the door outside.
