In the Qinzheng Palace, there are several large braziers, but in the cold winter wax moon, the palace is as warm as spring.

Pang De came in behind Su Lu and bowed to Li Dingyuan.

"Your Majesty, this is the account of the Ministry of War in the process of distributing the pension silver, and a cadre of the Ministry of War headed by Li Dang, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, in the process of distributing the pension silver, cleverly set up a name, extorted and deducted, and swallowed up a total of two million taels of silver."

Li Dingyuan stood up with a snort, and scattered the folds and various booklets on the desk in front of him.

"Two million taels!"

Li Dingyuan almost gritted his teeth and said: "The upper three provinces have allocated 800,000 taels, the household department has allocated 1.5 million taels, and I have taken out 500,000 taels from the inner treasury, so that the soldiers who died in the king's affairs can have peace of mind!" ”

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that someone would dare to reach out to these silver."

Li Dingyuan's roaring voice resounded throughout the hall.

Pound bowed his head and did not speak.

Su Lu sat next to the account documents, the appearance of the old god.

On the imperial steps, Gāo Zhān's squinting gaze swept over Su Lu and smiled quietly.

This kid is also smart, and he knows that he has made great contributions, so he takes advantage of the ministers to drink the blood of the soldiers and make a fuss to set up some enemies for himself.

Otherwise, such things have happened in previous years, and I haven't seen the general of the governor come forward to make trouble and seize the accounts of the military department to sue the emperor.

Li Dingyuan finished scolding the minister and looked at Su Lu:

"Su Lu, you lead the troops for me, go and arrest everyone, I will raid their homes and destroy their clan."

Li Qing reminded beside him: "Father, the official who handled this matter, you should meet for a while, and you can't listen to one-sided words." ”

Li Dingyuan snorted, turned around and sat down on the dragon chair.

Gāo zhān shook off the dust in his arms, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Xuan, the officials of the military department are here." ”

Sun Shan came in from outside the hall, prostrate on the ground, and shouted long live.

Li Dingyuan didn't speak, gāo zhān understood and asked:

"Sun Shan, go through the matter in detail, and the officials involved must not leave anything out."

Sun Shan told the story of the incident, and then bowed to the ground and cried:

"The minister didn't dare to take this silver, and all the eight thousand taels of silver were sealed in the main hall of the minister's mansion, and he didn't dare to touch a penny."

Li Dingyuan slapped the table heavily:

"Biography, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple, I want to see how many people in the Ministry of War have reached out to these silvers, and how he Li Huaiyuan became the Secretary of the Ministry of War."

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the Qinzheng Palace, and a little eunuch walked in quickly, and when he reached the imperial step, he whispered a few words to Gāo Zhān, and Gāo Zhān's face changed slightly.

Li Dingyuan glared at Gāo Zhān:

"Hmph, these guys have very sharp ears, and said, what kind of officials have come to me to sue Su Lu?"

Gāo zhān sent the little eunuch away, and said with a smile:

"It's not a complaint, Shangshu ordered Zuo Ping, Zhongshu ordered Guo Ping, and all Shangshu adults asked to see."

"Bang"

Li Dingyuan slapped the table angrily, his face flushed with anger:

"When I wanted to reward Su Lu, I didn't see them so neat, but now they are coming quickly, Xuan in."

Zuo Ping came in with a group of purple-robed officials, and after the mountain shouted long live, everyone stood still in turn.

The Zhongshu made Guo Ping stand up: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached the founding Marquis Su Lu, his eyes were disrespectful, the soldiers acted recklessly, made a big fuss about the military department, and beheaded according to the system." ”

Li Dingyuan suddenly stopped being angry, looking at Guo Ping, who was seriously impeaching Su Lu, Li Dingyuan felt a little sad for himself.

The dignified book order, the three grades of the imperial court, is second only to Zuo Ping, the master of the Shang Shu order.

came up to impeach Su Lu, did he want to prove his innocence, or did he think that he could take the opportunity to suppress Su Lu and suppress this case.

The old god Zuoping was there, squinting his eyes, standing in the middle of the crowd, and he didn't speak.

Li Huaiyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and impeached Su Lu loudly:

"Minister Li Huaiyuan impeached Su Lu, lawless, made a big fuss about the military department, and beheaded according to the system."

A group of officials came out one after another, impeaching Su Lu and impeaching Pound.

Li Dingyuan was tired of listening to it, and waved his hand:

"Okay, these are all impeachments of Su Lu, I know all of them, Su Lu's crimes are extremely heinous, and he should be killed according to the system."

"But there has been merit, Su Lu not only has, but also meritorious, he is the king of Qin's protection, saving me from fire and water, this is the great merit of the king of Qin's protection, according to the system of rewards, I am determined to give him the founding of the county king, hereditary replacement, and the country with the rest."

"Your Majesty, no."

Zuo Ping, who originally closed his eyes and recuperated, was the first to speak, interrupted Li Dingyuan's words, and said in a loud voice:

"Your Majesty, be cautious."

"Since the founding of this dynasty, except for the prince, no one has ever been crowned a prince, and the ministers do not agree."

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

In the high hall, the proposals vetoed by the ministers echoed.

Su Lu was a little confused, didn't he say it a long time ago, and he would no longer reward himself, and the emperor took out the 50,000 taels of silver to end the matter.

Pound squinted, didn't speak, looked at his nose, looked at his heart, looked at his toes.

Li Huaiyuan smiled, let Su Lu be arrogant again, this time you kicked the iron plate, slapping my face is the face of the military department, and hitting the face of the military department is offending me Li Huaiyuan.

This time, I must beat you to death completely, so as not to pick you out and make trouble in the future.

Li Huaiyuan thought hatefully in his heart.

Li Dingyuan patted the imperial case, reprimanded and said:

"Why, you are only allowed to use Su Lu's troubles to make me behead Su Lu, and I will give him a knight, but you will not agree."

"Otherwise, the merits and demerits will be offset, and the rewards will not be increased, and Su Lu will make a big fuss about the military department, and it will be over."

"Zuo Ping, Guo Ping, what do you think?"

Li Dingyuan said impatiently, it just so happened that Su Lu didn't want to be rewarded, and refuted this case, it can be regarded as not letting Su Lu lose in vain.

Zuo Ping bowed down and agreed: "The minister has no objection." ”

A group of purple-robed officials also agreed: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

Li Huaiyuan saw that everyone agreed, and he couldn't help but get anxious in his heart, how could this be?

You bastards, when the court fought for power in the past, one was more vigorous than the other, but now there is no benefit, so you just let it go gently.

Li Dang knelt on the ground and said hoarsely:

"Your Majesty, Su Lu made a big fuss about the military department, so that the prestige of the military department in the prefectures and counties was greatly damaged, how will the military department deal with the military affairs of the prefectures and counties in the future, the military orders are not passed, and the government orders do not send out the military department, all caused by Su Lu."

Li Dingyuan looked at Li Dang like shǎ bī for a while, and asked slowly.

"Su Lu saved my life, isn't it as prestige as those prestige?"

"It's already too sorry for Su Lu if you don't give Su Lu a reward, what's the matter, Li Dang, you have an objection to my compromise method, then you can tell me, how can I be sorry for Su Lu, so that you can be happy."

Li Dang was shocked and knelt down to worship: "Your Majesty atons for your sins, the minister is afraid, the minister doesn't mean this, the minister is afraid." ”

Li Dingyuan waved his hand impatiently: "Who has an opinion on this matter?" ”

All the officials, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all focused on Guo Ping, who sighed, bowed his head and stopped talking.

The emperor made it clear that he wanted to protect Su Lu, and if he forced it to continue, the emperor would be angry, and someone should fall to the ground.

The crowd stopped talking, and Su Lu pushed the car with his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, now that the evidence is conclusive, please give an order to deal with the case of the military department's swallowing of the pension money."

Li Dingyuan waved his hand slightly: "Yes." ”

Su Lu turned to Li Kang, who was kneeling on the ground, with a smile on his face:

"Li Shilang is the main culprit in the pension money swallowing case, have you thought about who you want to drag into the water?"

Before Su Lu's words fell, the palace of diligence fell silent.

Sulu is going to fight back.
