"At that time, the Duke of Han Jin died, and the court was not caught, but I knew that it was Huaixi who instructed the demon monk Guanghong to do it; And this time, it was Ziqing Li Shigu again. The emperor was furious, "Kill me and the two scholars, I and the rebel town are not in the same place!" ”

Du Huangshang said: "If the murderers are not punished, the discipline of the imperial court and the national law of the Celestial Empire, how can it exist?" Please ask Your Majesty to declare the judgment to enter the temple, ask Qian Gu to count, and continue to urge the six armies to crusade against the traitors. ”

"I will never stop fighting, I will never make peace, I will never, I will not appease!" The emperor waved his sleeves and shouted three "nevers" in a row.

Soon, Judu Zhi Pei Yanling trembled and ran in small steps, approaching the hall.

When he knew that Zhao Jing's head was different, he understood everything, but he couldn't understand anything, and when he saw the emperor standing opposite, he cried bitterly, so he bowed down and shouted, "Please punish the murderer of Zhao Zhonglang."

"I naturally know this, that's why I asked Qing, what is the current situation of the treasury?"

Pei Yanling poured beans from a bamboo tube and gave the emperor the bottom, and the emperor understood how significant it was to defeat Xifan and recover Helong:

The income from the mutual market with Nanzhao belonged to Wei Gao, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, but the mutual market with Xifan was carried out by the Du Branch, and this benefited 300,000 yuan a year;

The resumption of trade between the Hu merchants and the Middle Turks in the Anxi Empire was restored by the Hexi Corridor, and the Uighur trade on the Jingyuan waterway resulted in a profit of 500,000 guan a year;

After rectifying the salt in Hedong, Shuofang, Sanchuan, Helong, and Xia, the imperial court can get 880,000 yuan a year;

Coupled with the two taxes of Jiannan, Xingyuan, Fengxiang, Shannan Dongdao, and Jingnan, there are also three million guan.

Of course, this does not include the taxes of the eight provinces of Jianghuai and the taxes on salt, tea, and wine, totaling eight or nine million yuan, and they all reside in Jingkou!

After a year of painstaking operation, the emperor's inner treasury now has an income of one or two million.

Even if the small country in the northwest court of Anxi did not pay taxes to the imperial court, the turtle ci, which was rich in good iron, contributed 3,000 collars of Tang Buqi armor, 800 collars of unified horse armor, and 2,000 iron knives, not to mention the contribution of Khotan, Shule and other countries;

As for Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and Shatuo, which were placed in several states in the Hexi Corridor, they donated 6,000 fine war horses to the Tang Dynasty in a year, and the horse mills in the northwest were even more fertile for raising national horses, increasing the number of horses by no less than 10,000 every year.

"In other words, the imperial court is fully capable of completely suppressing Huaixi and Ziqing?" The emperor asked Pei Yanling.

Pei Yanling couldn't help nodding.

"Good, the Huaixi and Ziqing thieves can start a war with despicable assassinations, but they can't end it, and the power to end it can only be held in my hands." The emperor's attitude this time was extremely resolute, "Fight for one year, two years and three years, until there is a result." ”

At this moment, Lu Zhen reminded: Although there is still a surplus in the treasury, it is best not to use troops in Huaixi and Ziqing at the same time, and use Chengde Wang Wujun and Xuzhou Zhang Jianfeng to contain Li Shigu from the views of the ministers, and the main military strength is still to give priority to pacifying Wu Shaocheng.

"Yes." The emperor agreed, and then he stopped talking, slowly paced the square steps, sighed for a long time, and said to Du Huangshang and Lu Zhen: "Du Qing wants to be in charge of the national economy, and Lu Jiu is in charge of the selection and tribute, and Jia Fu can go to the Eastern Capital for Zhao Jing, who was killed, but ......."

"Your Majesty, for today's plan, there is only one way to use high-ranking guests." Du Huangshang proposed.

"Since Gao Yue is a guest of the crown prince, I want him to be in an idle position, if Yan Er once again declares Bai Ma to be the servant of the Chinese book, wouldn't he regard the pivotal balance as a child's play?" The emperor's words were full of displeasure.

"That minister Huang Shang is willing to take ...... hand"

"Alas, this is a big matter, Rong Zhen will think about it carefully, and he will retreat." Du Huangshang, who was recommended by Mao Sui, was ruthlessly interrupted by the emperor.

As a result, in the Daming Palace that night, the crown prince Li Yu came out of the Shaoyang Courtyard and asked His Majesty to see the emperor.

Then Li Yu presented a recital, earnestly asking the emperor to issue an edict to let Gao Yue rise again, serve as a servant of Zhongshu, and requisition for the imperial court.

The father and son repeatedly argued for a long time, and finally the prince moved with affection and reason, so that the emperor initially accepted the suggestion.

So the next day, the entire Daming Palace and the capital were sensational again, and everyone knew that it was the prince who was trying to recommend Gao Jigong to be the prime minister for the second time, "If Ji Gong is really in power, then the imperial court and Huaixi and Ziqing will really have to be killed." ”

In the prison of the Imperial City Patrol Prison, Yuan Jing's hands were hanged, and his legs were straightened and tied to the prison bar, several children of the City Patrol Prison shouted and cursed, and took turns swinging the hammer and smashing Yuan Jing's legs, wanting to break off his leg bones, but Yuan Jing was infinitely powerful, not only did the hammer continue to hit his legs, but also had the strength to continue to scold: "It's all a group of weak rats, and they can't even torture, so what is the city patrol supervisor?" ”

Suddenly, at the corner of the corridor, a man with a full face and a tiger and leopard flashed, he squinted his eyes and walked in from the prison door, and the children of the city patrol all saluted in horror, "You are the Yuanjing of Songshan Foguang Temple?" I am General Jinwu, the envoy of the left and right streets of the city patrol supervisor, and I am from the Fenyang Palace, and my name is Guo Foran. ”

Hearing this name, even Yuan Jing would not be indifferent.

"Recruit it, all the accomplices, you don't recognize it." Guo Forging clapped his hands, his tone was very calm, but it was also full of indescribable gloom, "It is much better to be able to go to the Dog Spine Ridge in the East City, or the Dushu Willow in the West City, and slash it vigorously, which is the fate of the strong man's husband, than to be tortured and die silently in this dungeon full of bedbugs and rats." ”

"Recruit what?"

"You were instructed by Li Shigu, the envoy of the Ziqing Festival, to assassinate Zhao Jing and seize the eastern capital. As long as you confess, Jingzhao Yin and Henan Yin are convenient to deal with, and I will give you endless wine and food in the future, and keep it so that you can go to the East Market or the West Market happily and comfortably. ”

"If there is no such thing, how can I recruit ......"

Before Yuan Jing's words were over, Guo Duan raised the hammer with both hands, smashed it down like lightning, and with a crisp sound, Yuan Jing's head was raised high, sweat splashed out, and he howled extremely miserably: his thigh bone was instantly broken by Guo Duan......

Then Guo Forging gritted his teeth, and several more hammers, all of which hit Yuanjing's abdomen and waist, and the old monk's ribs were also broken, and he vomited blood and wailed.

With a dull sound, Guo Forging foamed at the mouth and threw the hammer on the ground.

Then he turned his fingers, and Yuan Jing was pinned to the ground by several wolf-like soldiers of the city patrol guards, half of his body bones barely intact, and his hands were handcuffed to the wall with iron chains.

"Upper soil bag." Guo Forging said.

Soon, a bag full of wet soil pressed against Yuan Jing's body, and his broken leg shook rapidly, and he wailed again in pain, shouting "Hurry up, kill me!" ”

Guo Forging laughed, he knew that when ordinary prisoners shouted this sentence, it meant that they couldn't endure it anymore.

"One more dirt bag, and I'll ask him again tomorrow." Guo Forging didn't mean to be merciful, and then left the prison.
