At this time, what can Prince Zhong do? After Master Ma carefully went through the events of the past few days in his mind, he didn't find anything wrong, which would make Prince Zhong so anxious to ask him back to discuss.

Everything has gone to the path he planned, the mutiny of the army, the escalation of the arrears incident, and Liu Minghui's anxiety, all of which were expected by his master. He really couldn't think of anything else that King Chung was more worried about.

"Prepare the car!"

Master Ma raised his right hand, gave an order to the housekeeper, went back to the house to change his clothes, walked out of the door, got on a sedan chair, and walked quickly towards the Zhongwang Mansion.

When Master Ma arrived, the room was already full of people. It seems that the others also rushed over as soon as they received the news from the prince. However, looking at the solemn looks on everyone's faces, it seems that this time the trouble is not small.

"Lord Wang?"

Seeing Liu Minghui, who was sitting on the low couch and taking a nap, Master Ma stepped forward and called softly. Liu Minghui was taken aback, sat up straight and said, "Oh, Master Ma is here." That, your plan is bankrupt, it's completely bankrupt! ”

Master Ma was shocked: "Ji Lu is going bankrupt? What's planned? ”

Liu Minghui shook his head and did not speak. A person next to him said: "It's the plan you planned to use the arrears of the forbidden army to make a fuss and force the emperor to mess up, and it's bankrupt!" ”

Master Ma was taken aback and asked, "What?" Did they raise three million taels of silver so quickly? ”

The gap in the forbidden army's salary is three million taels of silver! In recent years, natural disasters have been man-made. The imperial court's finances are eating grain, and there is a serious shortage of funds! For a short period of time. Unless it was a rampant expropriation, or some excuse to raid the homes of a few big businessmen. in order to quickly accumulate the gap of millions of taels. However, in that case, the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the new dynasty will be swept away, and the merchants will always worry that they will be confiscated by the imperial court, and even the officials will be moved by such "tyranny".

In this way, the image of the new emperor Liu Mingli will become a tyrant! At the beginning of his reign, he was called a tyrant. This was certainly not the situation that any emperor would like to see. For Liu Mingli, who has not yet secured the throne, this is what he needs to pay special attention to.

Since this is not the case, how did he close the gap of three million taels of silver? This is something that Master Ma is puzzled about.

Liu Minghui said weakly: "That guy, I don't know who helped him come up with a shameless idea, asking him to carry out the salary increase selection of the forbidden army." ”

"Forbidden Army Salary Increase? Still want to be selected? What the hell is going on? ”

Master Ma was really confused, and he couldn't understand what these people were talking about.

A military officer next to him, who knew the inside story, explained to him: "That's right. Master Ma. The Ministry of War said that this time, the salaries of the hard-working soldiers of the forbidden army will be raised, and everyone will have to be raised. As for how much to add. Then it's up to you to perform. ”

As soon as Master Ma heard this, his face became gloomy: "Is this a good performance, it is not all based on the words of the boss?" ”

The official from the military department clapped his hands and said, "What Master Ma said is extremely true! It's not. As soon as the news came out, many people were busy giving gifts to their bosses! ”

Master Ma glanced at him. Said angrily: "What about you? Did you also give a big gift to your boss? ”

The official of the military department blushed slightly, lowered his head and said, "This Lord Ma." It is really related to the happiness of the lower officials' families, and the lower officials also want to raise their salaries, which is also forced by the situation! ”

"I didn't blame you! In the midst of such a whirlpool, no one is exempt from vulgarity. ”

Then, Master Ma turned to Liu Minghui and said, "Lord Wang! You have also seen that everyone has already given gifts to the boss, so first of all, the situation of the boss's capital turnover has been alleviated. As for the ordinary soldiers below, the emperor drew a cake for them, a large bread that was enough to satisfy hunger! They're stalling for time, lord! ”

Liu Minghui is not stupid, of course he knows what this matter means. As long as Liu Mingli can slow down for a while, he will always have a way to raise three million taels of silver. After all, he is the emperor, and he still has this ability and connections. This time, Lord Ma's idea, the victory is to win in a sudden attack, after knowing all the beliefs of the military department and the household department, suddenly broke out, in a short time, the emperor could not immediately raise three million taels of silver, this is the most critical point to the success of this plan. However, now that they have a way to delay, the key point of this plan has been destroyed, which is equivalent to saying that this plan is completely bankrupt!

Master Ma took a deep breath and said, "It seems that this plan of ours is really going bankrupt!" However, this emperor is really courageous, he doesn't want to think about it, after this incident, the treatment of the soldiers of the forbidden army will really rise, and in the future, the expenditure on military spending will inevitably be much greater than now. In this case, how should he solve it when the time comes? ”

The official of the military department nodded and said, "That's what Master Ma said! However, the question now is, our plan has gone bankrupt, what should we do next? ”

Liu Minghui finally sat up straight, and had some of the tiger's might. looked at the room full of people who lowered their heads and didn't speak, Liu Minghui secretly scolded them all. A bunch of idiots who eat dry rice! With so many people, isn't there a talent that can be compared to Ma Daren? Every time, it is necessary to rely on Lord Ma to make some gains for this king, these people, what is this king raising you for!

Liu Minghui really blamed them for this.

With such a person, there will always be a few capable people, right? However, there are already veterans like Master Ma sitting here, and they don't want to come out of that head, and they don't dare to come out of that. is like Liu Bei of Xishu during the Three Kingdoms period, is there really only one capable person under his subordinates, Mr. Wolong? That's certainly impossible! Not to mention others, the phoenix pangtong who died in Luofengpo, the general Wei Yan who surrendered, the victorious general Changshan Zhao Zilong, Jiang Wei, who joined Xishu because his mother was coerced, took a few more military leave to become the next Zhuge Ma Jian in time, and Wang Ping, the general who had desperately obstructed Ma Jian when he lost the street pavilion

The reason why these people can't show their ability is that they already have a kilowatt stick on their heads, and they don't dare to shine these 100-watt to 900-watt light bulbs? Besides, Zhuge Liang is not unmatched, he failed to go out of Qishan six times, and he died before he got out of the school!

Helplessly, seeing this group of "wastes" crying with sad faces, Liu Minghui had no choice but to look at Master Ma as if asking for help: "Lord Ma, what should we do next?" ”

Master Ma didn't answer, he looked around first, and saw that everyone was bowing their heads and not speaking, and his face showed a somewhat exaggerated kingly spirit.

Hmph, you guys, don't you want to see me at the critical moment? Zhong Wangye, there is also a Master Ma under his hand, who can share his worries! You people should only look at me, I am the greatest hero under the loyal prince!

Actually, this guy thinks so in his heart, and it is understandable. It's just that if he really thinks so, he is very wrong.

It's a pity that Master Ma really thinks so in his heart, which also lays the foundation for Liu Minghui's failure in the future. How many people here are willing to live under others for a long time? If it weren't for that ulterior motive, who would want to betray the emperor at the risk of being killed, and throw himself into the arms of the loyal prince? At the beginning, when they saw Master Ma's domineering, they could still bear it, but in the long run, they would inevitably accumulate deep grievances and reach an irreconcilable point.

And at that time, it will be the moment when the party of the loyal king will be completely wiped out. What's more, there is also a dose of fierce material that Zhou Xiaocao added to them.

Master Ma was very satisfied with the pleasure that everyone was pinning their hopes on him now, and there was some pride in his voice that could not be concealed: "Lord Wang! I think it's not time for us to be downcast! This is just a delaying tactic and will not solve any substantive problems. So next, as long as we keep an eye on the actions of the household and watch every detail of the household, are we still afraid that he will get money? (To be continued......)
