"Zhao Xi'an, I heard that you are a partial member of the Zhao family, you have never made any achievements before, and you are hidden in the Zhao family, I didn't expect you to be so wise, the Zhao family is full of talents."

"Xi'an is terrified, and it is an honor for the minister to share his worries and relieve his sorrows."

Yuan Che waved his hand and asked Zhao Xi'an to retreat among the ministers. He turned his head to look at Dongfang Ji, wondering what his plan was now.

"Mr. Dongfang, what Zhao Xi'an said just now, what do you think after listening to it, do you have a clever plan to retreat from the enemy?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is still thinking about what Zhao Gongzi said just now. The strategizing of this plan is truly amazing, and I need to think about it. ”

"The rest of the ministers, if they have other ideas or other important matters, they can play." Yuan Toru looked at the ministers below.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something important to do."

"Lord Ho, please speak."

Recently, Weichen received an urgent report from the Huai River, a few days ago, there was a sudden rainstorm along the Huai River, which led to the flooding of the Huai River, and the perennial disrepair of the embankment burst The situation is urgent, and many refugees have fled from their original places of residence and come along the way in the direction of Chang'an. In several towns, there were incidents of robbery and robbery, as well as incidents of fighting between officials and people. The situation is urgent! ”

Yuan Che was very angry after hearing this, stood up and asked angrily: "There has always been a special fund for maintenance along the Huai River, how can it be in disrepair all year round, every year in the finances, a lot of Huai River maintenance funds will be reported, He Caigui will explain to me well, these Huai River maintenance fees, what's going on!" ”

Hearing Yuan Che's angry roar, a middle-aged man, who stepped forward quickly, only heard the sound of "dong", knelt down in the middle of the main hall, trembling, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of negligence, and the minister deserves death." ”

"He Caigui, can you save tens of thousands of people with a damn sentence? Tell me where the money went! If you can't explain, your whole clan will go to the Huai River to build a dam for me. ”

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen is back. Since the previous year Emperor Taishang built the Jiuhua Palace, the financial has been in deficit, these years the local tax collection has been difficult to collect, a large number of military pay materials and city repair, these are the need for a large amount of silver, so five years ago, the maintenance of the Huai River has stopped disbursement, the Huai River embankment can not be maintained normally, which leads to the danger of bursting the embankment. The guilty minister asks His Majesty to confess. ”

Yuan Che listened to He Caigui's words, and then he knew why the treasury had been so empty in recent years, and he couldn't help but worry and frown.

"The ministers have listened, do you have a good plan?"

The ministers of the palace began to whisper to each other again, and after a long time no one came out to reply.

Yuan Che was helpless and continued to ask, "Is there anything urgent that needs to be played now?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen Wei Qi has something to do."

"In many ferry towns today, most of the big merchants suddenly appeared, and there were secret transfers of money, population, and many real estate and family wealth. Some of these towns also experienced shortages of rice and salt for a short period of time. This led to the inflated peddling of these towns, which caused quite a few riots. The reason why these businessmen are suddenly like this is unknown. ”

"The reason is unknown, then what are you doing to eat, give it to me to investigate, if you can't find out within seven days, you can go to the Criminal Health Division to receive the punishment yourself."

"Anything else? If not, Zhao Xi'an, Mr. Dongfang, several generals stayed. I'll go back and think about the rest, how to solve the two things mentioned today: the danger of the Huai River bursting and the sudden abnormality of Shangjia. Tomorrow morning, if no one proposes a good plan tomorrow, you will all kneel outside the hall until there is a good plan, and then you will all get down. ”

"No." The ministers bowed and exited the hall.

There are only five people left in the huge consul hall now.

Yuan Che, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was restless, wave after wave, there were troubles inside and strong enemies outside, if Yu Wenyue could still be by his side at this moment, at least his heart could be a little calmer. Looking up at the other four people in the hall, he said worriedly: "Now that the national crisis is at hand, there are strong enemies outside, and there are worries inside. ”

"Your Majesty, external worries and internal troubles are in order. The minister had already learned about the disrepair of the Huai River embankment and the flight of the merchants, and had made arrangements in secret, so please relax, Your Majesty. Although this external threat seems to be ferocious, but it is strong and dry, since Yanbei is waiting for work, then why don't we come up with a plan, want to capture the old and indulge, and hit their arrogance again. Dongfang Ji's deep eyes flashed slightly, and he said with relief.

"Mr. has already seen through Yanbei's treacherous scheme, why didn't he say it clearly in the main hall just now, so that I don't have to worry." After listening to Dongfang Ji's words, Yuan Chegang was still frowning, and he relaxed a lot.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the minister didn't say it was because it was inevitable that there would be no one in the hall who could report the news. The purpose of the minister is to let the enemy know how critical the situation in our country is, so that our enemy can take the bait and solve the current dilemma in one fell swoop. As long as the Yanbei side gets our current situation, it will definitely greatly increase its military strength, and change from the original night attack feint to take the initiative. As long as they turn from darkness to light, then their plan this time will be self-defeating. ”

"Your Majesty, Mr. Dongfang is really clever, Xi'an thinks in the main hall that Mr. has not seen through the enemy's treacherous schemes, and he still has an axe in front of Mr., which really makes Mr. laugh, and Xi'an is very ashamed." Zhao Xi'an looked embarrassed and ashamed, and the respectful Dongfang Ji said.

"Yuan Che is fortunate to have Mr. Dongfang assisted, otherwise the situation in this Great Wei would be even more dangerous." Yuan Che was deeply pleased.

"The minister is also doing his own internal affairs to assist His Majesty in stabilizing the great cause." Dongfang said with the clothes in hand.

"Then next, Xue Lu, you and your son are ready, and immediately go to Meilin Pass to prepare for battle."

"No, I'll go and prepare." After speaking, Xue Lu and Xue Zhileng turned around and left.

"Zhao Xi'an, I have appointed you as the inspector of the Huai River, and handed over the case of the Huai River embankment collapse and the absconding of the merchant to you, so you must appease the people as soon as possible, stabilize the national situation, and recover taxes. The decree will be issued, so go back and prepare first, and set off as soon as possible. ”

"No, Zhao Xi'an will go back and prepare." After speaking, he withdrew from the Consulate.

Looking at the three people who retreated, Yuan Che in the main hall stepped down from the dragon chair, came to Dongfang Ji, and asked Dongfang Ji in a deep voice: "Sir, do you know this Yanbei's strategist?" ”

Dongfang Ji flicked his sleeves, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes, but it was more of excitement. "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I can guess a little bit about this person now, but I can't be completely sure, Yanbei's Wudao Cliff heard that he was exiled, but it doesn't mean that this plan will not come out of his hands, and the big peers will fall apart with Yan Xun, whether it is overhead or disintegrated. The facts are still up for debate, but this is one of them. Second, if it is not Wudao Cliff, and can have such a resourceful person, among the people I know, there is indeed one, this person's strategy and intelligence are by no means inferior to me, but my fellow disciple is called Yu Chen, if he is out of the mountain, he is indeed a very hot person, then the situation in the Great Wei Kingdom may become turbulent. ”

"Yu Chen, why have you never heard the world mention it?" Yuan Che also felt bad, and finally heard that Wudaoya, the first think tank in Yanbei, had fallen out of favor with Yan Xun, and the hope of winning Yanbei had increased, but now suddenly there was another Yu Chen, and his wisdom was not under Dongfang Jealousy, which made him have to reconsider the strategy and strategy of attacking Yanbei again.

"This man is unparalleled in intelligence, but he has never been interested in money and status, and he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and likes to travel around the world and be an idler. Many contemporary gate lords and nobles invited him to be a guest and a strategist, but they were all rejected by him, and he has not weak martial arts, and ordinary people can't do anything with him, so if it's him, I am indeed a little surprised, what is there in Yanbei that can impress him? This puzzles me a little. ”

"Listening to Mr. explain, I am a little curious about this person, he is playing with Mr., who can win in the end." The look of interest in Yuan Che's deep eyes was clear at a glance.

"Your Majesty, if it's him, the minister will also go back and prepare well, and the minister will retire first." After Dongfang Ji finished speaking, he bowed and retreated.

"Mr. Dongfang, please." Yuan Che looked at Dongfang Ji with a somewhat solemn expression, and slowly turned around and left. The expression on his face became deeper, and he summoned the secret guard to command something softly, and after speaking, he called people to prepare for the horse and head towards Qingshan Courtyard.
