Cheng Huailiang has been nesting in Chengjiazhuang, waiting for Cui Jinghao to give gifts.

But after waiting for three days in a row, the Cui family didn't move.

The only thing that made Cheng Huailiang feel comfortable was the dead fat man Li Tai, who really sent melon seeds.

Facing the Cui family, Cheng Huailiang was a little breathless, and Cui Junsu, the secretary of Honglu Temple, sent someone to Qing Cheng Huailiang twice, asking Cheng Huailiang to go around Honglu Temple, and Lu Dongyan, the envoy of Tubo, could not keep drying.

In any case, Lu Dongyan is also the younger brother of Lu Dongzan, the great minister of Tubo, and he must give the face he deserves.

"Hang it first."

This is the most pertinent answer given by Cheng Huailiang. The officials of Honglu Temple were also very helpless, and even Cui Junsu wanted to come directly to Cheng Huailiang, but finally gave up.

The Tibetan envoy Lu Dongyan and a group of his subordinates were extremely arrogant. Honglu Temple not only has Tibetan envoys, but also envoys from other countries, and basically sees the Tibetan people walking around, not for anything else, and can't afford to provoke.

Before dawn, Cheng Huailiang woke up, couldn't sleep, the pressure was really great, Lao Li's heart was too dirty. A vampire alive.

Cheng Huailiang looked at Cheng Feng with hatred, "Let you burn your luck, you can put some ghost fire and it's over?" At the very least, I have to get a few ghosts, the young master is now in debt, and he owes 30,000 stone of military rations. ”

Cheng Feng was also very helpless, he knew that the Cui family would come to give gifts, so he would have accepted it directly.

Cheng Huailiang gritted his teeth, he couldn't wait to find a piece of tofu to kill him, thinking about it, it was not a way to hide at home like this.

"Cheng Feng, help the master prepare the court clothes, the master is going to participate in the morning court today."

Cheng Feng immediately understood, and directly found the court clothes of the captain of the horse, Cheng Huailiang nodded with satisfaction, changed into the court clothes, and re-explained.

"You go to the Weiguo Mansion, let Changsi go too, and then look at my eyes." Cheng Huailiang paused, "By the way, let's go to the Yiguo Mansion and let Qin Huaiyu also participate in the court meeting." When he went to the Song Guogong Mansion to find Brother Xiao Kai in Yu Langzhong, he said that Huailiang had something to ask for and asked Brother Xiao Kai to also participate in the court meeting. ”

"Little grandpa, we are not familiar with Qin Huaiyu."

"I saved his father, won't he return my favor?" Cheng Huailiang felt sorry for a while, blaming Lao Li, he was almost out of breath under the pressure of an IOU, and originally thought that Qin Huaiyu would be of great use in the future, and this favor should be used on the blade......

"Forget it, don't go to Qin Huaiyu, after you find Brother Xiao Kai, go to Uncle Niu, and say let Uncle Niu help his nephew carry a little ninety percent in the court."

"Okay."

Tidying up the placket, Cheng Huailiang's face was hideous, making the young man uncomfortable, and the young master let you block the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

The court meeting went on as scheduled, Lao Li looked at Cheng Huailiang who was standing at the back of the general, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: Hide, why don't you hide? If you owe me, you still want to escape? Dream on.

That IOU Lao Li has always carried with him, 10,000 stone of grain, Cheng Huailiang can't get it even if he smashes the pot and sells iron. has a handle in hand, it is natural to repay debts, all the money earned by Cheng Huailiang's trading has not ended up in our Lao Li's pocket?

Old Li smiled beautifully.

The first to speak was Fang Xuanling, the treasury was empty, and there was a shortage of food and money.

Hou Junji took 30,000 troops to the border of Songzhou, and he couldn't get the military rations to support this war.

According to Fang Xuanling's estimate, grain and grass can last for half a year at most.

Although some people expect a battle with Tibet for half a year at most, as a high-level person, they have to make the worst predictions and plans.

Datang is short of money and food, otherwise according to Lao Li's urine, he would have been scared of the air.

As soon as he heard that the treasury was empty, Lao Li's face became ugly. To be honest, it's not that the emperor and the minister are incompetent, but Cheng Huailiang scolded him right, a country is even a problem with taxes, you still build a state, and the country has a fart?

The treasury has grain, but the people do not. It's all in the hands of the Gate Valve Clan, and this group of scum would rather have the grain in the granary moldy and grow maggots than donate a grain to the country.

The imperial historians sighed, their spearheads were actually pointed directly at the people.

Ouyang Lian stood up, and a royal historian beside him couldn't pull it even if he wanted to, "Your Majesty, the minister suggested that the people should be asked for grain." The war is imminent, and the soldiers will defend the land and the country, and the people should deserve it. ”

Someone took the lead, and the imperial historians jumped up again, admonishing one after another, and even listing a lot of ancient things about the ancients, so as to prove that what Ouyang Lian said was right.

Among the imperial historians, the only ones who don't speak are a few bachelors in the Li Tai Literature Museum.

Before going to the court, Li Tai specially explained that if Cheng Huailiang participated in the court meeting, then the court meeting should not provoke Cheng Huailiang for the time being, now is the cooperation period, the relationship must be good, and Cheng Huailiang can be pulled in if appropriate.

Lao Li is very upset, the people have no surplus food, what will you give as military food?

You scumbags, are you trying to make me a proper tyrant? Lao Li's face turned black, his fists were clenched tightly, and his forehead was even more bruised.

The corners of Wei Hui's mouth twitched a few times, and his face was extremely ugly. These bastards have really forgotten who is the big brother in the lead. Levy food from the people? It's up to you to come up with it.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling were also angry, it was the group of gate clans that should really levy grain, not the people. Seventy percent of the world's granaries are in their hands.

Govern! It must be well governed!

cough cough cough ......

Wei Hui, as the leading brother, really couldn't stand it, and pretended to cough a few times, who knew that the imperial historians had no birds at all.

"You don't need to ask Ouyang for face." Eldest Sun Wuji almost squeezed a few words out of his teeth.

Even Fang Xuanling, a good old man in the Tang Dynasty, was extremely angry, "Brother Fuji, I agree." ”

Wei Hui also nodded, indicating that the Ouyang family was in the court, and Ouyang Xun would be the only one left in the future.

The generals are extremely annoyed, whose hands are the food, everyone knows it, you are all garbage, and you actually forced Tian Khan to be a tyrant of the Tang Dynasty, your hearts are really dirty.

But there is no way, most of the imperial historians are recommended by the gate lord clans, whose dog will spoil the master's food?

Cheng Huailiang stood up and shook his court clothes, "Your Majesty, Cheng Huailiang, the captain of the horses, has something to say." ”

Lao Li raised his eyebrows, bastard, and wore this court dress again, are you farting when you are me? But on second thought, forget it. At this time, I have to rely on Cheng Huailiang to solve problems.

If you have an account, you are not afraid of liquidation, and there will always be a truth and beat him. Soothe the evil in your heart.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ouyang said that the soldiers are defending the country abroad, and the people should offer food. The minister wants to ask, what country and what kind of home are the soldiers protecting? ”

Cheng Huailiang glared at Ouyang Lian with his eyes, "Lord Ouyang, you are also standing on the land of Datang, and your home is also on the land of Datang." Isn't it your home that the soldiers protect? It's okay for the people to donate food, so how much does Lord Ouyang, who holds the imperial court, plan to donate? ”
