Jin Ziyan heard the master talk about the rattan armor when he was on the mountain earlier, it was in the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang conquered the wild land in the south, and was resisted by the tribal leader Meng Huo, Zhuge Liang defeated Meng Shu several times, and used a tribe's Tengjia soldiers to defeat Zhuge Liang, the armor worn by this rattan armor soldier was invulnerable, Zhuge Liang was difficult to deal with for a while, and finally used fire to destroy the rattan armor soldiers, and the rattan armor has not come out since then, how did Su Jun know the practice of the rattan armor......?

Jin Ziyan said in her heart, if Su Jun is just to help the court deal with Wang Dun, it is also a good thing, if he has other ideas, it will not be good.

She secretly checked the situation on the island again, and the three thousand orphan soldiers were still practicing, and the patrols on the island were one after another, as if a great enemy was coming.

Jin Ziyan couldn't judge Su Jun's ultimate goal for the time being, so she could only retreat, and said in her heart, if Su Jun has different intentions, I can't spare him first!

Sima Rui received news from Wang Dun on this day, saying that he had replaced all the important military positions in the six states under his control with his own people, and he was also going to get involved in Tao Kan's battalion.

On this day, the weather was gloomy, as if it was going to rain, and it was particularly stuffy, Sima Rui was drinking tea in Yixin Pavilion, and the household servant came to report: "Your Majesty, Su Jun has come to ask for silver again." ”

"How much does he want this time?"

"Twenty thousand taels."

"So much, how much money did Su Jun spend before and after?"

"Back to the emperor, 100,000 taels."

"Ah, I didn't expect Su Jun to have less than 20,000 horses, but it was comparable to the cost of 100,000 horses." Sima Rui turned his back and shook the sweat on his head.

"Your Majesty, do you want to give it to him?"

"Give, of course."

"However, the treasury has not much silver, the palace still needs to spend, the battalion also needs money, and the Northern Expeditionary Army also needs money, which ...... It's very difficult to be a minister. ”

"By the way, didn't I say that I would have to pay half a year's tax in all places, why did I still confiscate it?"

"Your Majesty, the four major families in the south control a lot of salt and iron business, monopolize silk, tea, grain, fishing, etc., and they don't pay taxes, so the government receives very little tax, not counting it, the taxes in the six states controlled by Wang Dun can't be collected at all."

"What's going on?"

"Wang Dun issued a notice in the name of the prime minister, ordering the taxes of the six states to be sent directly to Wuchang."

"Hmph, Wang Dun is going to reverse again! This dog thief, he won't give up if he doesn't take my place! ”

Sima Rui said and suddenly felt a salty throat, and a mouthful of blood spit out.

"Don't worry, the emperor, the dragon body is important! The Emperor ......"

"Come on......" He was about to call someone, but was stopped by Sima Rui and said: "Don't make a noise, Wang Dun knows that he shouldn't be even more crazy!" ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of silver, the minister will find a way, don't worry."

"Okay, let's go......" Sima Rui waved his hand.

Sima Rui shouted: "Someone! ”

"What does the emperor command?"

"Xuan Sujun is here to see me."

"Yes."

Before Su Jun arrived, Sima Shao came to find Sima Rui, but before he sat down, Sima Shao said angrily: "Father, Wang Dun intercepted the taxes of the six states, it is really lawless, it seems that he is determined to rebel!" If he raises troops again, there will only be a fierce battle, the Northern Expeditionary Army will be transferred back, and Tao Kan will also come back to defend the Beijing Division, as long as he can't lose Jiankang, it will be difficult for Wang Dun to succeed. ”

"Shao'er, these days I feel that I can't do it, I'm afraid I'm going to die soon, there is something ......"

"Father, father, what are you talking about...... Don't say these discouraged words, my father is blessed with all the heavens and has a long life, how can there be anything......"

"What I said is true, I have balanced the relationship between the various families and clans for many years, worked hard, and many times the decree does not leave the royal family, resulting in depression in the heart, I have already seen the imperial doctor, but I don't let people say it, the reason why I hold on is to see the day when Wang Dun is defeated, Shao'er, I don't know if I can still see ......"

"Father......" Sima Shao shed tears.

"Shao'er, I know my illness in my heart, no matter how much I cure it, it won't help, I only hope that you will be able to govern Dajin well in the future."

"Father, the emperor......" Sima Shao couldn't cry anymore.

Sima Rui stroked Sima Shao and said: "Don't cry, there is one thing, I haven't told you yet, I once summoned Su Jun alone, I saw that this person was brave and knowledgeable, so I thought that he was very important to the big thing, but he did not disappoint me, he said that he could practice the art of expelling yin soldiers, and he could use it to deal with Wang Dun in the future can be worth 100,000 elite soldiers!" ”

"Father, there is such a thing, Su Jun is not a Taoist, how can he practice the art of Yin soldiers?"

"I don't believe ...... either" Sima Rui told Sima Shao about Su Jun's words, and Sima Shao was also skeptical.

At this moment, Su Jun came.

After Su Jun finished paying homage, Sima Shao got straight to the point and said: "Your father has already told me, I don't know how you have prepared recently?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, Your Highness, I have not been practicing the Yin Soldier technique for a long time, and I have not yet seen results, I said at that time that it will take three or five months to practice."

Sima Rui said: "Su Jun, I summoned you here because Wang Dun is becoming more and more disobedient, maybe one day he will raise an army, I am afraid that your Yin Soldier Technique will not be practiced by then." ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the minister is determined to practice quickly, and strive for two times in advance."

"Well, you're really loyal."

"Your Majesty, it's just ......"

"Just what ......?"

"It's just that you have to add another 50,000 taels of silver to be able to train in advance."

"Ah, that's so much again."

"Your Majesty, the minister said that this method costs a lot of silver, if the emperor feels embarrassed, the minister can stop."

"No, you can't stop, you must practice, Shao'er, you personally go to the states and counties that the royal family can control, and see if you can collect some more taxes."

"Father, son, obey orders, but ......"

"How?"

Sima Shao said to Su Jun: "Su Jun, you keep saying that you practice the art of Yin soldiers, does this kind of Tao really work?" ”

"Your Highness, the minister can guarantee that with the help of the Yin soldiers, he will be able to defeat Wang Dun."

"Can you convince me just by talking about it?"

"Your Highness, I can use my net worth and life as a guarantee, even the life of the entire clan!"

"You're ......!" Sima Shao didn't believe in any Taoism, but Su Jun guaranteed the lives of the whole clan, so he couldn't believe it!

Sima Shao said: "Do you dare to make a statement!?" ”

"Of course I dare."

Sima Shao took a pen and paper and asked him to write a note, and Sima Shao went to the state and county to collect taxes in order to raise 50,000 silver for Su Jun.

Sima Rui said with satisfaction: "Su Jun, don't worry about it, the court will not treat you badly, he will break Wang Dun every day, there will be a reward!" ”

"Your Majesty."

"You go and do things."

"Yes."

The words are divided into two ends, that day Zu Ti and Yun Ru went to Huaiyin to join the Northern Expeditionary Army......
