A few days later, the capital.

In the mansion of the king of Anguo County, Su Lu sat on a recliner in the shade of the courtyard and closed his eyes to rest.

In the past few days, with the knife in his hand, there have been no less than 100 civil officials who have been cut off by Su Lu, from the Shangshu of the third grade to the small officials of the ninth grade, all over the major yamen in the capital.

The most direct effect is that there is no one in the court who dares to refute Su Lu's voice, and it has basically become Su Lu's word, and Su Lu has no obstacle to implement his own strategy.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps at the door, and Su Yun led a few guards in, and the young guard who was supported by two guards in the middle was covered in wind and sand, and his face was covered with ash.

Seeing Su Lu, the young guard immediately trembled his hands and said in a hoarse voice.

"Lord Wang, the mutual market has been opened, and there are more than 1,000 dollars and thousands of cattle and sheep on the first day."

Su Lu patted the chair beside him and ordered, "Bring water, let this brother take a breath, this matter is not in a hurry." ”

Soon a maid brought water and food and put it on the table, and the young guard gulped down the water and devoured it.

Su Lu instructed Su Yun and said: "The mutual market has been opened, I will go south in a few days, the situation in the south is becoming more and more critical, if I don't leave, I really wait for the Tang State to march and lose Jiangzhou and Anton, then it will be too late to regret it." ”

Su Yun nodded: "Brother, in addition to supplying the military, our liquor is now being spread out in all major liquor stores, and the supply exceeds demand, will we spread it in the rest of the country in the future?" ”

Su Lu waved his hand: "To satisfy the military first, for the people, it is just a desire for the stomach, but for the army, it is a life-saving thing." ”

Changning suddenly came in from outside, his face solemn: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty has arrived." ”

As he spoke, Chang Ning's vigilant gaze swept across the courtyard, looking at these guards and maids.

Su Yun said with a smile: "These are all old people in the army, Xiao Ning and a few of them also retired from General Xie's hands, Changning, you can rest assured." ”

Changning nodded, and after a while, Li Qing, who was dressed in a purple robe, entered the courtyard and frowned when he saw the dusty guards.

"But the news of the mutual market is coming?"

The guards, who were eating meat and drinking water, suddenly stood up, knelt on the ground, and greeted Li Qing:

"The Hunhe battalion and the C army are all under the account to accompany the deputy lieutenant Sun Goudan to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty Jin'an."

Li Qing stretched out his hand to signal, and the two guards stepped forward to help Sun Goudan:.

"Dog, how do you know me? How is the mutual market, and is the amount of loss of the border trade division not too large? ”

The dog was set up by the two guards, and his face was full of red light: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the little one was in the Northern Zheng Army before, and he fought with the prince, and he has met His Majesty a few times." ”

"The trade in the mutual market is easy to do, the Thule people begged us to do business, and the border trade department prepared 3,000 iron pots on the first day, which were originally intended to be bought for three months, but who knew that they were robbed on the first day.

The Tulle people almost fought for the iron pot, if it weren't for General Zhao's bullet pressure, I'm afraid that the Tulle people would be able to fight if the Tulle people robbed the Tulle people. ”

Su Lu handed the military affairs booklet to Li Qing: "This is the summary of the first half of the first day, the surplus is considerable, and the most important thing is that the horses have gained a lot. ”

Li Qing unfolded the booklet and glanced at it, was overjoyed, and muttered:

"Today, Yang Biao also said that the amount of money allocated by the household department to the border trade department is limited, and the border trade department will lose half a month.

Su Lu waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, we have a liquor deal, you can lose as much as you want, and I can make up for you." ”

Li Qing glanced at Su Yun in surprise: "Such a bad thing, some people also buy it to drink?" ”

Su Yun nodded.

The guard next to him said excitedly: "The liquor is good, Your Majesty."

Usually you can drink some to relieve fatigue, the brothers reunite, drink it can enliven the atmosphere, if you are injured, you can use it to wash the wound, although it is a little painful, but it is specified that it will not suppurate, and the brothers can point to this thing to save their lives. ”

Li Qing nodded, he didn't expect this little liquor to be so useful.

But yes, what Su Lu made was never bad.

After talking about the mutual market, Li Qing thought of the stormy south, if it was not suppressed again, it would soon be divided into the south of a country.

"This time you go to the south, not only to stabilize Anton, suppress Jiangzhou, and maintain the defense line with Tang Guo, but more importantly, to take care of yourself, your injuries have not yet healed, and things are not harmonious, even if you give up Xiting."

Li Qing's eyes were full of affection, looking at Su Lu.

Su Lu waved his hand and sat up with Li Qing's support: "The envoys of Tang and Qin have not left yet, Ding Xiangwei news, they stopped in Jiangzhou and Xiting, and gathered a lot of good hands, this is to take me quickly." ”

"I'm going this time, just to meet them, to see how powerful the masters of Western Qin and Tang are really there."

Li Qing's cheeks were a little worried: "I sent you all the masters of Dingxiangwei, Li Ling has done a lot of things these days, and he has collected many masters of the rivers and lakes, all of which can be used, I will send them all to you." ”

Thinking of this, Li Qing suddenly smiled: "Even if it is sent to you as a wheelchair, it is good." ”

Su Lu was a little strange: "What, there are still martial arts suitable for pushing wheelchairs?" ”

Li Qing shook his head: "No, it's definitely not appropriate to push, but if it's a wheelchair, it should be quite suitable." By the way, this is a secret decree, and I have written down three secret decrees according to your request. ”

"The edict appointing you as the patrol envoy of Andong Jiangzhou has been issued, and you go to the two places in the name of building a martyr's shrine and inspecting the military and political affairs of the two places."

Su Lu nodded: "It doesn't matter what the name is, as long as you don't reveal your true purpose, it's a good name." He Congzhi has already sent news that he has taken control of the Wei Mansion of the five counties and one government of Andong, and it is also within ten days of complete control of the armies. ”

Li Qing frowned slightly: "I always feel that something is not reliable, no matter how powerful He Congzhi is, it is impossible to control the military affairs of Andong in half a month, could it be false information sent?" ”

Su Lu smiled: "If I pin my hopes on He Congzhi alone, then it is not the way to win in the army, there is news from the Xiting Governor's Mansion that the Wei Mansion in Andong is against the Yang of the Governor's Mansion, and there is a tendency to lose the tail, this is a secret military order I issued to He Congzhi's lieutenant, as soon as He Congzhi controls the guards, this military order will be secretly transmitted to the five counties and one government." ”

At the same time, Andong, the capital of Ding'an.

Assassin Shi Mansion, He Congyun looked at this edict and frowned.

A moment later, the servant led He Congzhi in.

He Congyun left his seat, beckoned He Congzhi to sit down, and said with doubts on his face.

"Sixth brother, the new edict from the imperial court ordered Su Lu to be the patrol envoy of Andong Jiangzhou, supervise the construction of the martyrs' shrine, and inspect the military and political affairs of the two places at the same time, what do you think is the way here?"

He Congzhi saw the edict, and his heart was happy, the prince was finally going to dispatch, according to the prince's intentions, Jiangzhou and Anton would merge into Jiangzhou Jiedu Mansion, and he was at least the governor of the army.

According to the practice of the north, it is impossible for the prince to leave the center for a long time, and the position of this Jiangzhou Jiedu Mansion may be his own, and when the time comes, he may not be able to be as famous as Xie Wan in the south.

Thinking of this, He Congzhi raised his head, looked at He Congyun, and suddenly said:

"Big brother, it depends on what you think?"
