But the Void Princess giggled.

The emperor was puzzled and asked why he was laughing.

"The master discussed with the group of scholars and scholars in the Zichen Palace, how could Wei Gao, Gao Yue and others see it thoroughly on the front line? Both of them are responsible for the strategic promotion of the economy, so you might as well send the thoughts and thoughts of the three bachelors directly to Victoria, Wei Gao and Gao Yue are more appropriate, why should Lao Ye worry? ”

This made the emperor suddenly, yes, did I think too much, and gave up the disposal to Wei Gao and Gao Yue, they didn't do it very well.

At this time, the emperor was anxious to summon the Hanlin scholars, but he felt that it was too late, so he directly asked Song Ruohua to take charge, wrote the arguments of Wei Zhiyi, Wei Cigong and Li Jifu on three pieces of paper, and then asked for 800 li to be expedited, and it must be sent to Victoria within five days, and Gao and Wei's reply should be obtained after ten days.

Then Princess Lingxu said to her father that what the lord has to do now in the Zichen Palace is to ask for the military salary in the west from all the towns in the eastern part of the country, and other things are not suitable for the lord.

The emperor also accepted.

Because leaders of all sizes in ancient and modern China and foreign countries should not mix things in the professional field, whether they are excellent or not mainly depends on whether they can ensure the operation of funds from large countries to small enterprises, in short, whether they can do a good job in welfare. Take the prime minister as an example, he doesn't necessarily know how much money there is in the world, and he doesn't necessarily have to know whether the people's livelihood in a certain state or county is good, what he has to do is to let the government center run smoothly, handle the relationship with the emperor well, and arrange the manpower of various departments at the bottom.

However, this time the emperor's claim was somewhat special.

He made a claim to Huaixi Town.

You must know that in the past, although Wei Bo, Ziqing and other Fang towns were unruly, in relatively peaceful seasons, they would still give the Son of Heaven hundreds of thousands of yuan every year, but Huaixi beat Wu Shaocheng to preside, not only by instructing the robbers and thieves, killing and plundering the past merchants, but also the taxes collected by Shen Guangcai were also penniless, and the emperor did not dare to come to his house to claim it before.

But now that Wei Gao and Gao Yue's Lubu were sent to Zichen Palace, the emperor let the officials and horses in the group come to Caizhou, claiming that Wei Gao won a big victory at the border and killed tens of thousands of prisoners.

In the military palace, Wu Shaocheng was furious, saying that we Shenguang Cai are poor and poor, and we have to raise tens of thousands of troops, and I myself am reluctant to eat and wear, just so that the soldiers under my command can be fed and clothed. Isn't it that you and other eunuchs are trying to enrich their own pockets and come to blackmail under the pretense of His Majesty's will?

These lieutenants who came to proclaim were also selected "stunned young men", so they immediately showed Wu Shaocheng His Majesty's decree.

The scene was embarrassing for a while, and Wu Shaocheng continued to scold for fear that there would still be false intentions, and then asked these lieutenants to wait for news from him in the Caizhou City Post House.

Then Wu Shaocheng found the strategist Li Yuanping and asked him what to do.

After Li Yuanping heard that Tang had won a big victory over Xifan, he was heartbroken again and again, "When the Sanyangcheng Alliance, Wei Bo and Ziqing didn't listen to my advice, now it's good, so that the Tang army can defeat Xifan without any worries. ”

"Mr. Nayi's opinion?"

Li Yuanping's mung bean eyes turned twice, and he said that now the Son of Heaven's family is in full swing, and he can't compete with it, so he will simply give 120,000 yuan in exchange for peace for a while.

Then Li Yuanping said: "The Son of Heaven's family is also a big talk, I think the Tang army may not be able to take Helong, maybe it will get some land for nothing, but not profit." Now Li Baozhen of the Zhaoyi Army of Zelu is sick, if he dies, there will be a danger of splitting within the Zhaoyi Army, and I can take the opportunity to instigate Wei Bo to go west to annex the three states of Xing, Ci, and Wei of the Zhaoyi Army, and once again provoke the civil war between Tang Ting and Heshuo, and then we will benefit! ”

"How do you make a profit?"

This time, Li Yuanping no longer said that he was going to go to Shangluowuguan to attack Chang'an, he knew that Gao Yue's Dingwu army was there, and the Huaixi disciples were afraid that they would all be wiped out, but said that we would serve an alliance leader when we arrived, and follow him to confront the imperial court, and if we can occupy Biansong, we will occupy Biansong, and if we can occupy Tang Deng, we will occupy Tang Deng, or if we can occupy Huainan, we will occupy Huainan, and if we can occupy Eyue, we will occupy Eyue.

In short, hold on, and then steal the chicken and the dog, and see if you can turn over.

After all, Shen Guangcai, the "three pieces of land" sandwiched between the various towns of the imperial court, it is too difficult to raise troops or move them, and the situation must be opened.

Wu Shaocheng agreed in principle, but he was still very distressed about the 120,000 yuan.

Li Yuanping saw his thoughts, so he said that he would simply use Huaixi's earthen silk to offset it with three yuan per paragraph, and give 40,000 pieces to the officials in the imperial court.

But the lieutenant officials of the imperial court were not confused, when the Huaixi Military Government took out 40,000 pieces of earthen silk, put them in bamboo pipes, and lined them up in the vehicle to take them back to Chang'an, the lieutenant opened it and pulled it out, and then pointed to the nose of the military government official and scolded:

"This is what the Son of Heaven who sat in the Zichen Hall asked us to come and proclaim, and the edict is also true. Other places Xuansuo, the northwest gave green salt and musk, Xingyuan gave gold and silverware, Liangchuan gave Shu brocade, Xuanshe gave bronze and silk carpet, which is not a priceless thing? You Huaixi are really interesting, and give this kind of silk! The dignified Fang Yue Festival envoy is no different from a dog-headed toad, and we are all ashamed of you. After speaking, the lieutenants still didn't understand their hatred, and tore up a few of the paragraphs on the spot, "When this earthen silk pays two taxes this year, it will be filled with light goods, which will make everyone thunder and angry, and we will see that you Huaining Army can't get rid of this matter, wait and see!" ”

Listening to this group of eunuchs splashing outside, Wu Shaoyang in the military palace was furious, so he drew his knife to kill them, but was persuaded by Wu Shaocheng and Li Yuanping, and finally Huaixi Town reluctantly took out the real 120,000 silk silk and copper coins, and privately stuffed 20,000 yuan of "body money" to the lieutenants, which can be regarded as calming down the situation.

After the lieutenants left, Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang were resentful in their hearts, and secretly vowed to revenge sooner or later.

At the same time, the messenger sent by the emperor rode a fast horse, crossed the Chencang Road, and entered the Shudu of Jianmen, and then crossed the snowy ridge of the West Mountain, and the horse's hooves slowly and carefully stepped across the swaying bamboo rope long bridge, step by step, before arriving at the foot of Victorian Sanssouci within the specified time.

At the beginning, he led 5,000 soldiers and horses and prepared to throw them into the battlefield of Pingrong, but after learning from the scouts that his main army was "defeated", he hurriedly retreated to Sanssouci City.

The victorious Gao Yue and Wei Gao, collecting all the prisoners, equipment, cattle, sheep, grain and grass, on the one hand, sent detachments to sweep the Lingmo River, weak water, Baiya, Bailing and other places, and on the other hand, led the main forces of each army to return, and besieged the Sanssouci City again from Xiaofeng and Dinglian.
