Now, the only thing Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu still feel uneasy about is that they are afraid of giving birth to chaos.

There are too many people rushing to Jiankang from all directions this time, and there are too many underworld warriors among them, who rushes to ensure that there will be no ill-intentioned assassins among them, if the assassination incident is found on the day the imperial court enters Jiankang, then Jin Guo's face will be lost.

In order to ensure that the ceremony of this day can be carried out smoothly, the demon underworld warriors and the lieutenant's mansion have all used their best to solve the problem, and in the past few days, there are no less than two hundred underworld warriors secretly arrested by them alone.

Chu Lianyu followed behind Lin Haotian's carriage and asked Shao Lin and Wang Yu in a low voice: "Has this section of the road been checked? Who is arming it?"

"Lord Chu, this is the last general's defense. Wang Yu arched his hand and said, "The pavilions on both sides of the road have been controlled by the brothers of my capital guard, and they are absolutely foolproof. ”

Saying this, Chu Lianyu was still not at ease, and urged: "Hurry up and send someone to check again! Jiankang is a red land, and I don't know how many red people want the lives of adults, so we must not take it lightly." ”

Wang Yu also knew that the stakes were very high, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest sloppiness, he waved his hand and called the deputy chief manager beside him, and said urgently: "Hurry up and send someone to check this section of the road again, anyone who is suspicious, whether it is a martial artist or not, can be temporarily arrested without interrogation." ”

"The last general obeys the order!" The deputy commander of the Duwei Battalion intervened to receive the order, and took the elite of the Duwei Battalion to cross Lin Haotian's carriage and go to the front section to do an inspection.

Jiankang is close to the river, the climate is relatively humid, and the main body of the building is wooden. It is easy to be damaged, so most of the buildings in Jiankang are mainly made of stone, supplemented by wood. The stone is exquisite, among which the bluestone produced in Zeping and Haowan counties is the most precious, and it is also the most solid and beautiful.

The new palace built under the supervision of Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu was mainly made of bluestone, supplemented by jade.

At this time. Lin Haotian was looking at the surrounding scenery and was talking and laughing with the accompanying guards in the carriage, when suddenly, an iron tong flew over, this iron tong came too suddenly, and the speed was too fast, so fast that Lin Haotian didn't react at all, but fortunately, he was lying in the carriage, and the iron tongs almost stuck to the top of his head. It was just a fraction of a millimeter away from stabbing him in the head.

Lin Haotian was dumbfounded, and several guards in the same car were also stunned, their eyes widened, looking at the iron tongs lying in the car, and they didn't react for a long time. The screams continued.

"Your Excellency—" With a hurried shout, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the outside. Shao Lin and many other guards gathered outside the carriage.

Everyone looked inside the car, and they were all frightened, only to see Lin Haotian lying in the carriage, and there was an iron tong on his body shockingly, so close that it almost touched his scalp.

"Your Excellency...... It's okay......" Shao Lin sweated like rain. Asked dumbfounded.

Lin Haotian's face was expressionless, there was no smile, no anger, and he couldn't tell what his mood was now. He avoided the pincers across his head and slowly sat up. The cat then walked out of the carriage with his waist bent.

"My lord, it's dangerous outside!" Shao Lin and Tong Lei also wanted to stop Lin Haotian, but the latter waved his hand to push the two of them away, and asked in a deep voice, "Is it safe in the car?" As he spoke, the cold and shining halberd was easily pulled out by him.

He looked around, there were panicked crowds everywhere, there were soldiers tracking down the assassin everywhere, looking to the side of the car wall, there were still half of the iron tongs exposed, what made Lin Haotian feel most annoyed was that there was a banner hanging on the tail of the iron tongs, on which were written sixteen big characters in blood red: The gold thief is shameless, invades my big red, it is unreasonable and intolerable, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.

Lin Haotian looked at it, strode to the wall of the car, waved his knife to cut down the amplitude, grabbed it in his palm, and held it tightly.

At this time, Chu Lianyu, Wang Yu and others also hurried over, and when they saw the iron tongs inserted in the adult's carriage, they were also frightened, and asked in unison, "Are you injured?"

Lazy to answer, Lin Haotian waved his hand and threw the banner to Chu Lianyu, and said coldly: "See for yourself!" As he spoke, he put away his halberd, raised his hand to pull out the iron tongs, and threw it on the ground, then without saying anything, he turned around and returned to the car.

Chu Lianyu and the others unfolded the banner, looked down, and the cold sweat of several people flowed out in unison.

I'm really afraid of something, I'm afraid that there will be chaos on the day when the court enters Jiankang, and it turns out that the adult was assassinated, and the assassin also had the audacity to hang banners and write rebellious remarks, no wonder the adults would be angry.

"Check! Hurry up and find out the assassin!" Chu Lianyu gathered the banner into a ball and said in a deep voice to Shao Lin and Wang Yu.

But now that they were going to track down the Assassins, where was there any time? The assassins had already run away, and the soldiers who tracked them down found only a crossbow bed.

This crossbow is similar to the Broken Crossbow, but with appropriate modifications to make it smaller.

It was cleverly hidden, on the roof beam of a roadside house, covered by tiles so that it could not be seen from the outside, and when the Assassins wanted to fire it, they simply climbed onto the roof of the house and removed a piece of roof tile so that the edge of the crossbow could be exposed.

Obviously, this operation of the assassins was carefully arranged, if it weren't for the luck of Lin Haotian and a few guards, I am afraid that this arrow suddenly came over, and maybe a few people would be injured.

The imperial court's entry into the new capital was originally a happy day, but it was so troubled by the sudden assassin, which made everyone's hearts clouded.

Lin Haotian's face was also extremely ugly, sitting cross-legged in the carriage, his face sinking like water.

Soon, Chu Lianyu got into the carriage and said to Lin Haotian: "My lord, the people of the Demon Martial Arts, the Lieutenant's Mansion, and the Duwei Camp have all gone to track down the assassin, and it will probably not take long to catch the assassin." ”

Lin Haotian didn't care much about whether he could catch the assassin now, but was angry about the ensuing assassinations, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that in the eyes of the Red People, if you kill me, the Red Kingdom will be restored? That will only make the war break out again in the Red Land, and the Red People, who have suffered many casualties, are really a bunch of fools!"

Chu Lianyu nodded again and again. Answered: "What the adults say is very true, so there is no need to be sad for these stupid puppets and spoil the interest and mood of the adults." ”

He said so, but he knew in his heart that the reason why the red people kept taking risks to assassinate Lin Haotian. Wanting to restore the country is only one of the reasons, and most of them want to take revenge In the eyes of most Red people, Lin Haotian is the enemy of the Red Kingdom.

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, looked at Chu Lianyu, and asked, "Is it that in the future, I want to build a carriage specially used for going out, and the four walls of this carriage are wrapped with iron sheets?"

He was originally a sarcastic and self-deprecating angry remark, but Chu Lianyu took it seriously and thought about it seriously, and muttered: "What the adults say is not a solution!"

When Lin Haotian heard this, he was so angry that he almost kicked Chu Lianyu out of the carriage.

Next. The Demon Warriors, the Lieutenant's Mansion, and the Duwei Battalion searched the houses and shops on both sides of the street carefully, and they almost didn't dig three feet into the ground, but fortunately, there were no more assassins behind them, and Lin Haotian's honor guard finally arrived at the palace without danger.

The palace has been built for a while, but Lin Haotian is still the first time to see it, when he left Jiankang, it was still a private house, and now the private house has disappeared. In its place is a majestic and majestic palace.

The outer wall of the palace is three zhang high, and there are many soldiers on it. Guns and halberds were like a forest, and the patrolling guards walked through in a neat queue from time to time, entering the main entrance of the palace, and looking ahead, there was another palace wall, the same as the palace wall outside. It is also three feet high.

The two palace walls inside and outside can be said to wrap the palace tightly together, not to mention that it is difficult for assassins to enter, even if there is a regular army to enter Jiankang, it is not easy to break through these two high, thick and solid palace walls.

Walk through the inner palace walls. Walk in again, what catches your eye is a huge square, the space is large, not inferior to a regular football field, it is not a problem to accommodate twenty or thirty thousand people here, the following is all the same color of marble paving, especially the marble on the main road in the middle, all of them have been carefully carved, the patterns on it are different, that is, there is the totem of the golden country, there are also the gods that represent auspiciousness, one by one lifelike, ingenious workmanship.

Walk through the huge square, and then go forward, is the main hall of the palace, there is a plaque hanging above the main hall, on the four big characters: Taixiong Treasure Palace.

Entering the main hall, the space is also spacious, there are eighteen large pillars inside, the bottom of the column is inlaid with gold, the pillar is carved with a coiled dragon, the jade on the ground is polished to shine brightly, as if the realm is in general, look down, you can almost see your own reflection.

At the innermost end of the main hall is the throne, made of pure gold, and inlaid with countless precious stones, which sparkle and dazzle.

Previously, Lin Haotian only knew that Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu had spent a lot of money to build the palace of the Golden Kingdom, but now that he was on the scene, he really felt that the real money spent was not in vain.

Seeing Lin Haotian enter the palace, his eyes glowed with brilliance from time to time along the way, and Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu, who were accompanying him, secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, although they made an unpleasant incident as an assassin, but the adults seemed to be very satisfied with the completed palace.

"What do you think of the palace?" Chu Lianyu asked in a low voice beside him.

"Yes, I can see that you and Peng Qian have put a lot of thought into it!" Lin Haotian said as he walked up the steps and sat on the throne Because there were several layers of thick carpet on it, it was very soft to sit on, making people feel as if they were caught in it.

After a pause, Lin Haotian asked with a smile: "Peng Qian, Chu Lianyu, are the official residences of the generals and ministers properly prepared?"

"Yes, my lord," Peng Qian replied, "the official residences of the ministers of the Red Kingdom have been received, and the furnishings in them are all ready-made, and in addition, Weichen has also built some other official residences, and officials of the second rank and above in the DPRK and China can move in at any time." ”

"What about the mansions of officials below the second grade?"

"This ...... It will have to wait a few more months, during which time the officials who have not been assigned to the mansion can temporarily live in the hotel. ”

"It's inconvenient to live in the hotel, everyone has come all the way from Wancheng to Jiankang, but you can't even have a place to live!"

"It's Wechen who is also urging the mansions under construction everywhere to be completed as soon as possible, but because there are too many mansions to be built, the project is huge, and it will naturally take more time. Peng Qian arched his hand and said.

In terms of who to build the mansion for first, and then for whom to build the mansion, Peng Qian did not bother to do a lot of work, trying to achieve a balance.

If the Jin officials are placed first, then it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Muren, Chiren, and You officials, and if the latter is placed first, the former will be dissatisfied. complaining that he favors outsiders, in short, he is not easy to do this job, there are too many miscellaneous and trivial things, and he has to weigh the relationship and pros and cons of all parties, that is, he must not offend any party. It is not easy to do everything again, not to mention that even if you do all of the above, you may not be able to please adults in the end.

"I have to do it as soon as possible, I promised everyone that it is better to move the capital to Jiankang than to be in Wancheng, I don't want people to complain about me behind my back, saying that I coaxed everyone to Jiankang" Lin Haotian frowned and said to Peng Qian.

"It's Wechen who will always urge this matter!"

"En!" Lin Haotian nodded, and at this time, Shao Lin and Wang Yu walked in from outside, and Lin Haotian raised his head. "Did you capture the Assassin?"

Wang Yu didn't dare to speak, and turned his head to look at Shao Lin, after all, Shao Lin had the closest relationship with adults, and if there was bad news, he could only report it.

Shao Lin is not very old, but he also has the bearing of a 'senior minister', he stepped forward and intervened: "Return to your lordship." The ministers only tracked down two Assassins, but they were ...... Just to be able to catch alive. The two Assassins have now committed suicide, and no clues have been found on their bodies, nor has it been possible to confirm their identities. ”

Lin Haotian leaned forward, spread his hands and said, "In this way, this is a headless unsolved case?"

Shao Lin hurriedly said: "Weichen thinks." In addition to the two assassins, there must be other comrades, and Wechen has sent someone to investigate. ”

"Since I couldn't catch anyone on the spot, if I check it now, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything" Lin Haotian thought for a while and said, "This time." Don't make any more extraneous branches, if you can check it, check it if you can't check it, forget it, don't make a fuss like last time. ”

"Weichen understands!" Shao Lin bowed his head.

Lin Haotian raised his head, looked around at everyone, waved his hand and said: "If there is nothing important, you should also go and take a look at your respective mansions first, and if you have anything you need, you can report it to Lord Xiao" As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Xuan again and said: "Lord Xiao, the things that the generals and adults need will be temporarily taken out of the treasury, and you can also be accommodating here." ”

Xiao Xuan frowned and said: "My lord, in order to build the palace and the official residences of many ministers, the treasury has already spent a huge amount of money, if you help the generals and adults to purchase the things they need, then the gold and silver of the treasury will be exhausted. ”

Lin Haotian didn't have much concept of gold and silver, and as soon as he touched his mouth, he wanted to help the ministers buy all their belongings, but Xiao Xuan, who was in charge of the treasury, couldn't help but count the silver in the treasury with his fingers.

Lin Haotian stared at Xiao Xuan and was silent for a long time.

He often can't help but wonder if Xiao Xuan was born to fight against himself, if he says one, he says two, and if he says two, he just says one.

After pondering for a long time, he opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Xiao is going to tell me again that there is no money in the treasury?"

"How is that possible?!" Don't wait for Xiao Xuan to speak, Zhang Xin stood up and continued: "In the battle against the Red Army, my country's treasury did not make any expenditure at all, not only did this war not cost money, but it still earned enough gold and silver, even if it cost some silver to build the palace and the minister's mansion, but it was not enough to spend all the silver in the treasury, the official wanted to ask Lord Xiao, where did all the silver in the treasury come from? Is it really spent or into some people's own pockets?"

Xiao Xuan sneered and said, "The silver in the treasury is naturally still in the treasury. ”

"Then why ......"

"My Dajin army is more than one million, hundreds of thousands of military horses, and so many military horses, how can I not need money? I need money for grain and grass, money for military funds and armaments, and money for military salaries.

Zhang Xin was speechless by Xiao Xuan's words, and retreated with an ugly face.

Xiao Xuan looked up at Lin Haotian and said: "If the adult wants to fight abroad and raise money to the treasury, even if the minister digs three feet into the ground, he will take out enough gold and silver and hand it over to the adult. ”

Lin Haotian was almost angry, and asked rhetorically: "Are you an adult, or am I an adult?" At the beginning, I had promised you that when the capital was moved to Jiankang, I would help you buy a home, did Lord Xiao want me to break my promise in public?"

"The promise of the adult, that is the adult's own problem, not because of the promise of the adult, the treasury will be exhausted, leaving endless troubles. ”

On the issue of principle, Xiao Xuan exerted the spirit of an iron rooster, and did not give in.

Xiao Xuan's toughness made Lin Haotian's face redden, he was the commander of a country, and his words had already been spoken, even if it was wrong, he could only make a mistake to the end.

Seeing that Lin Haotian was difficult to ride a tiger, Peng Qian hurriedly stood up and said: "My lord, what Lord Xiao said is not unreasonable, the silver of the treasury should not be spent on these insignificant things, but even if the adult has made a promise at the beginning, he can't fail to keep it, so it's better to compromise like this." ”

"What's the compromise?"

"Lord Xiao is afraid that your lords and generals will be unrestrained when purchasing household goods, if everyone is like this, then the total expenses will really become astronomical, and no matter how sufficient the money in the treasury is, it will not be enough. The adults can set a limit and stipulate the limits on the expenses of officials of all grades, so that the adults will fulfill their promises, and it will not make it too difficult for Lord Xiao to do, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone. Peng Qian said leisurely.

Hearing his words, Lin Haotian nodded his head, stroked his palms and smiled, and nodded secretly, at the critical moment, he had to rely on Peng Qian, who was sleek and flexible, and was very good at being a man!

He looked at Xiao Xuan with a smile and asked, "Lord Xiao, do you think Peng Qian's words are feasible?"

Xiao Xuan and Peng Qian are of the same age and have the same grade, but from the bottom of his heart, he still respects Peng Qian very much, he pondered for a moment, and arched his hand and said: "But the quota of the officials should be determined by Wei Chen!"

Lin Haotian just didn't want to break his promise in public, as for the specific details, he didn't care, he nodded and responded: "Yes!

"My lord is wise!" Xiao Xuan arched his hand and gave a deep salute to Lin Haotian, but the word 'wise' came out of his mouth, which made Lin Haotian feel harsh when he heard it.

The matter of helping the ministers settle their belongings came to an end under Peng Qian's adjustment, and just when Lin Haotian was just about to let everyone retreat, Chu Lianyu suddenly remembered something and asked, "I heard that the lower officials want to set up a new army?" (to be continued......)
