Qianqing Palace.

"How's it going? Zhao Shangshu can go back? ”

Chen Ju announced his will, turned back to the Qianqing Palace, and before he could speak, the Son of Heaven opened his mouth and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, back, Your Majesty is kind-hearted, aware of the situation, and allocated six million taels to the household department, Zhao Shangshu is happy! Thank you for Your Majesty's mighty grace! ”

Gonggong Chen is a kind person, arched his hand, and replied.

It was Zhu Changluo who laughed and scolded.

"That iron rooster will boast about Longne? Of the sixteen million taels of silver, I only gave him six million taels, I'm afraid he has scolded me a hundred times in his heart! ”

Chen Ju was speechless, and laughed again and again.

Indeed, although Zhao Shangshu was sent away, his face was still unhappy when he left, obviously very dissatisfied with the emperor's act of sending him away after only giving six million taels.

But fortunately, Zhao Shangshu is also a measured person, knowing that this is the emperor's bottom line, if he continues to make trouble, maybe he will not even have the six million taels in his hand.

Anyway, he still got a lot of silver, and Zhao Shangshu, who broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, could only comfort himself like this, who told him that he didn't ask clearly in advance, and agreed to the emperor in a daze.

Chen Ju watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, to be honest, he also felt that His Majesty had gone too far, the sixteen million taels of silver should have been returned to the treasury, even if it was used as military expenses, it wouldn't cost tens of millions of taels, and after hesitating for a moment, Chen Ju couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, our family knows that there is a lot of money in the treasury these days, but the treasury of the imperial court is not abundant, even if the silver is returned to the inner treasury, in the end, where do you need to use silver, you still have to rely on the inner treasury to help, the first emperor did these things, but in the end the silver is not good......

This is true, during the Wanli period, the treasury was empty, no matter where the disaster occurred, where the soldiers were needed, it was all silver from the inner treasury, and in the end, the household department developed a bad habit, but whenever something big happened, the first time was to run to the palace, crying poor!

But that's it, Emperor Shenzong was still scolded for treating the people harshly, and they themselves didn't want to think about it, if there was no mining tax, where would the silver come from in the inner treasury and allocate silver to them every day......

Although the mining tax has been abolished now, Chen Ju can imagine that although Zhao Shiqing has been settled today, if the matter spreads to the foreign court, the Son of Heaven's hat of loving money will not be lost!

But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Changluo waved his hand, but he looked at him with some surprise.

"What do you mean, Eunuch? Do you think that I want to put this silver into the inner treasury? To tell the truth, these 10 million taels of silver may not all be fought in this battle, if it weren't for the fear that Zhao Shangshu would make trouble, maybe I would not have been enough to throw all these 16 million taels of silver into it! ”

Chen Ju was stunned for a moment, feeling that the whole world was not real, could it be that the battles he had seen before were all fake? Is it possible to fight the war now that it has cost so much money?

However, Zhu Changluo replied, but he ignored him, turned his head and asked.

"Wang An, have Ma Gui and Li Rusong arrived?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the two generals are already waiting in the side hall!"

"Okay, you go and pass the decree, ask Liang Yong to take the two of them to that place to wait, and I will go over after I change my clothes!"

Zhu Changluo nodded, but a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly.

…………

Side hall.

But it was said that Li Rusong and Ma Gui came to the palace urgently after being ordered by the edict, but it was Liang Yongliang, the governor of Dongchang, who received them, but what made the two feel strange was that after Liang Gonggong saw them, he was not in a hurry to lead them to see the emperor, and after reading the military report to them, he began to talk and not talk much.

However, after reading the military newspaper, the two of them were anxious, especially Ma Gui, who had been guarding the northwest for many years, and he knew the situation everywhere in Datong, and almost at the same time as he saw the military newspaper, he realized the seriousness of the matter!

The Turmo Department has been strong and strong over the years, 30,000 male soldiers, by no means an existence that can be underestimated, with the strength of Datong to defend them, it is impossible to stop their all-out attack, and if Datong is lost, the next step is Xuanfu, how can he not be in a hurry......

"Father-in-law Liang, the military situation is like fire, and now the border is in danger, I don't know when we will be able to see Your Majesty?"

After drinking nearly two cups of tea, Ma Gui finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

At this moment, Wang An pushed the door in, walked to Liang Yong's side, and whispered a few words to him, Liang's father-in-law's originally smiling face suddenly became serious, paused, stood up, and took out a hammer from his sleeve.

Li Rusong's eyes were sharp, and he immediately recognized it, this seal is not an ordinary seal, but a seal used when he was in the East Palace, and now that he has ascended the throne, this thing is naturally useless, but after all, it used to represent the identity of the prince of Jinshang, and it is naturally extremely valuable.

It's just that what he can't figure out is that Liang Yong is doing anything with it at this time.

But then he understood, because after Liang Gonggong took out this hammer, he smiled and waved his hand, and a team of guards with sharp weapons poured in outside.

"Father-in-law Liang, this is ......"

Li Rusong's face suddenly changed greatly, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind, but he still suppressed his mind and asked.

"The two generals don't worry, our family has no other meaning, just on the orders of His Majesty, take the two generals to a place and ask the two generals to cooperate! This seal is a gift from His Majesty, which can prove that our family has not falsely passed on the holy decree! ”

Liang Yong arched his hand, but his tone was very modest.

Looking at the Ji in Liang Yong's hand, Li Rusong and Ma Gui glanced at each other, and finally relaxed their vigilance slightly, and then several guards stepped forward, took out two black cloths, and blindfolded their eyes tightly.

Li Rusong was dragged by a guard, only feeling that he was on a sedan chair, and then the sedan chair was lifted, and he walked around in the south, south, west, and north, and finally stopped after about half an hour.

"The two generals can open their eyes!"

Liang Yong's voice came from beside him, Li Rusong's eyes lit up, he felt the black cloth on his head being torn off, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was already in a courtyard.

However, what shocked him was that this courtyard was obviously not an ordinary courtyard, although it was not particularly large, but it was really five steps and one sentry, three steps and one post, and almost everywhere was guarded.

Li Rusong could see at a glance that among the people on duty here, more than ninety percent were in the prime of life between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five, and they all had thick calluses on their mouths, and they were obviously all practitioners.

There are many of them, with an iron-blooded momentum, obviously coming down from the battlefield, the more Li Rusong looks, the more frightened he becomes, as soon as he enters this door, there is a burst of sweat hair standing on end, this courtyard makes him feel extremely dangerous!

This is the intuition condensed on the battlefield for many years, as if someone is secretly aiming at him with a bow and arrow......
