"Queen Mother, there is news from the emperor's side, saying that the arsonist has caught it." Mama Li presented breakfast to the Queen Mother, and then reported to the Queen Mother the news she had found.

"The arsonist was caught?" The Queen Mother was shocked when she stopped, "Isn't that little Zhanzi already dead?" Where are they going to arrest people? ”

"Queen Mother, don't worry." Mama Li continued to speak, "The little eunuch I caught is my own eunuch in Concubine Li's palace, I heard that this little eunuch was greedy that night, and he happened to cook and eat in the kitchen, but it turned out to be that the pyre was ignited, and then even he thought that he was the one who caused the fire in the cold palace." ”

"Interesting," the Queen Mother was also in a good mood when she heard this, "God really helps me, I was still worried that this Qin Zhao would find out something?" As a result, it was a coincidence that this short-lived eunuch came up to take the blame, and being able to apologize for the mourning family can be regarded as a blessing in his life. ”

"That's nature." Mama Li was also in a good mood when she heard the news, after all, her master would no longer be at risk of being suspected.

"By the way, what about the emperor, what did he think when he learned the news?" The Queen Mother opened her mouth and asked again, but she was very interested, Qin Zhao must have insisted that she thought that her Queen Mother did it, although it was indeed her who did it, but in the end, it was indeed traced on the head of a little eunuch, or caused by negligence, Qin Zhao's current mood must be very life is worse than death, right?

"This slave doesn't know." Mama Li shook her head, "The tone over there in the Heart Cultivation Hall has always been very tight, and I can't find out anything." ”

"It's normal that you can't find out." The Queen Mother sneered, "It doesn't matter now, anyway, this matter has been settled, no matter what, it will be useless for the emperor to do whatever he wants." ”

"Your Majesty, everything has been taken care of." Li Jie saluted and came to report.

"Good." Qin Zhao has come up with a corresponding method in the past few days, since this time he took great pains to send the book out of the palace, and the two of them were forced to suffer from this separation, since this is the case, he must take this opportunity to eradicate the Queen Mother's forces this time.

"Then you're idle, send someone to keep an eye on what they've been doing lately, and don't worry about anything else." Qin Zhao opened his mouth and said, next he is afraid that he will have to go against his conscience to pretend to pamper the so-called Mu Wanrong, is it true that Qin Zhao really doesn't want to do this if he can, but in the future, he still has to act like this.

"Give the order to go out and put that eunuch to death." Qin Zhao opened his mouth and said, "Then bury the so-called Concubine Li, don't bury it in the concubine's mausoleum, just find a place to sell it, and claim that you have found a paradise." ”

"My subordinates understand." Li Jie replied, he used to only think that Chen Li was very majestic by Qin Zhao's side, but now that he has tried it himself, he knows the hardships, everything has to be arranged, and now he no longer envies Chen Li.

After such a check, the truth about the fire in the cold palace was also revealed to the world, and everyone was lamenting that the grievances of this concubine's death were actually caused by the gluttonous eunuchs, which was sighing. A small bookstore

However, Qin Zhao has been depressed for so many days, and he can be regarded as coming out, and after the funeral, he began to go to court normally, and the people are rumored that the emperor is grieved because of this incident, and he even walks in a trance.

"Your Majesty," the newly appointed general Zhou Cheng said, "Although our country is peaceful this year, but recently Wechen found that the enemy on the border is faintly recruiting troops, I am afraid that he is planning the next attack, in order to be able to make all preparations to meet the enemy, Wechen has the courage to ask for an order, please ask the emperor to allocate funds, strengthen the army, and ensure that our army can win steadily!" ”

As for what he would like Qin Zhao to allocate money this week, it is naturally what Mu Shang meant, Mu Shang's ambition is not limited to this, so he needs to strengthen the army for his use, so he found a high-sounding reason to ask for money, mainly because Qin Zhao is "depressed" during this time, I am afraid it is just right to start.

Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows, he needed to allocate funds to state the army? What kind of bullshit joke? He, Qin Zhao, brought troops from that side of Xinjiang, what strength those teams had, didn't he Qin Zhao know what kind of strength they had? How dare you ask for money? I'm afraid it's not going to be used somewhere else.

I'm afraid that this newly appointed General Zhou Cheng has a ghost in his heart.

"Replenishment of the army? That's okay, of course. Qin Zhao replied, as soon as these words came out, Mu Shang and Zhou Chengdu were reassured, and Mu Shang couldn't help but scold Qin Zhao for being a fool in his heart, and he actually gave it when he said it.

"But the treasury has been running out recently, I wonder how much General Zhou thinks it is appropriate for me to allocate to you?" Qin Zhao opened his mouth and threw this problem into Zhou Cheng's hands.

Zhou Cheng was a little anxious, although he was indeed a good hand at fighting, but he couldn't deal with the things in the court, since Qin Zhao said that the treasury was empty, he Zhou Cheng was embarrassed to open his mouth, and he didn't know what amount to say.

Mu Shang looked at Zhou Cheng's hesitant appearance and suddenly became a little anxious, sure enough, this Zhou Cheng is also a fool, he can't answer it when he is asked like this, it is really useless, but Mu Shang is only in a hurry, he doesn't dare to open his mouth now, if he opens his mouth, won't it prove that he and Zhou Cheng are all the way? It's not good to expose this now, so I can only see how Zhou Cheng plays himself.

"Uh...... Since the treasury is empty, then ask the emperor to allocate two million taels of silver, right? Zhou Cheng said tentatively, I don't know if this amount is appropriate, originally Mu Shang was going to ask Qin Zhao for five million taels, since the treasury is empty, then only half of it, right?

"Two million?" Qin Zhao seemed to think for a while and replied, "It's okay, although there is not much money, but protecting the family and defending the country is the most important thing, I will send someone to you in a while." ”

Seeing that Qin Zhao agreed to Zhou Cheng was finally relieved, it seemed that at least his answer was not flawed, at least he got two million taels of silver, which was better than getting nothing.

Mu Shang sighed secretly, originally he expected to ask for far more money than this, because he thought that he was afraid that he would be suspicious all of a sudden, and that the real gains outweighed the losses when the time came, so he repeatedly reduced them, but he didn't expect that now he only got two million silver, what can two million silver do? When he was in power, he casually bought an official for one million taels of silver, so he really didn't like these two hundred taels.

After the next dynasty, Zhou Cheng sneakily came to Mu Shang's mansion, and his position as a general was given by Mu Shang, so he naturally included Mu Shang under his command and did things for Mu Shang, after all, Mu Shang said that he had a more terrible plan, and Zhou Cheng was also confident that he could help him realize it, so he followed him wholeheartedly.
