Time flies, three days later.

Dayan Kyoto, Xuanzheng Palace.

Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair, his face gloomy and terrifying.

Because he had just received a battle report from Jinyiwei from Jiangnan.

Tang Tingbai grabbed the battle report with his right hand, and his breathing became a lot heavier.

In recent days, he has been busy cleaning up the affairs of more than 600 officials on the roster, but he never expected that at this time, the subject countries of the Ryukyus would also do things.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ryukyu Kingdom suddenly attacked Jiangnan Mansion, and now two counties of Jiangnan Mansion have completely fallen, what do you think should happen?"

This......

Hearing this, the civil and military officials talked a lot, and their faces were also not good-looking.

They didn't expect that the always obedient Ryukyu vassal would attack Gangnam without warning today!

Prime Minister Su Zhen took a step forward, his face solemn!

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks things are not so simple."

"Think about it, the Turkic envoys asked us to send troops before."

"Then this kind of thing happened, and Lao Chen felt that it might be the shadow of the Turks or the Xiongnu behind it."

"Think about it, even the always obedient Ryukyu vassal countries have rebelled against Dayan, so what benefits will the country behind this give to Ryukyu?"

"At the same time, we also have to guard against the attack of the four northern islands, after all, since the people behind this can say that the Ryukyus rebellion is moving, it is very likely that they will also say that the four northern islands will attack my Dayan's Goryeo Mansion and Shandong Mansion!"

Su Zhen said a lot in one breath.

is worthy of being the prime minister of Dayan, and he is indeed very thoughtful.

Tang Tingbai touched his chin and didn't speak.

"But if this is the case, my Dayan's army may not be enough, after all, we still need to garrison Longyou Mansion to prevent the Huns from attacking from Loulan."

Everyone nodded in unison, with a wry smile on their faces, there are indeed not enough soldiers and horses.

After a moment of silence, Tang Tingbai raised his head, and his voice was unmistakable.

"Spread my will, order the Vermilion Bird Army and the Gluttonous Army to garrison Longyou Mansion."

"Order the Xuanwu Army to go to Goryeo Province, and order the Qilin Army to go to Shandong Province to guard against a sneak attack on the four northern islands."

"At the same time, order Lu Bu's first army to move south immediately, and there is no time to delay!"

"This time, I will personally destroy the Ryukyus and add another place to my Dayan!"

"At the same time, tell Jiangnan prefect Hua Sheng and Jiangnan general soldier Kong Rong that if they lose another county, I will have to kill their heads!"

After listening to Tang Tingbai's words, everyone nodded in unison: "The emperor is sage!" ”

And the central general Zhuge Invincible was full of sadness.

Because Hua Sheng, the prefect of Jiangnan, and Kong Rong, the general soldier of Jiangnan, are both from their West Lake, in case they really lose another county, even he, the central general, can't save them!

After retreating, Tang Tingbai was still sitting on the dragon chair, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Jinyiwei commanded Li Yuanfang to stand beside Tang Tingbai: "Your Majesty, only Jinyiwei's battle report from Jiangnan was delivered, but the battle report from the Jiangnan official mansion was not delivered, and his subordinates specially sent people to investigate, and found that they were robbed by a group of bandits when they were about to leave Jiangnan Mansion!" ”

What?

Tang Tingbai's face changed again.

He never expected that any bandit would dare to rob the battle report of the Dayan Mansion.

"What are these bandits trying to do? They risked offending the imperial court to grab a war report, can't they justify it? Tang Tingbai frowned.

Li Yuanfang smiled bitterly and nodded: "Your Majesty, in fact, there were bandits who attacked the team of Jinyi Wei to deliver the battle report, but fortunately, Jinyi Wei sent a hundred people to escort it, and it was only after killing the heavy encirclement of that group of bandits." ”

Gangnam!

Gangnam!!

Gangnam !!

Tang Tingbai keenly felt that the water in Jiangnan Mansion should not be shallow.

In the past, when Dayan was worried about internal and external troubles, Jiangnan Prefecture even paid more than eighty percent of Dayan's grain output.

Tang Tingbai raised his head and looked at Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, do you Jinyiwei know anything about Kong Sheng, the prefect of Jiangnan, and Kong Rong, the chief soldier of Jiangnan?" ”

Li Yuanfang nodded.

"Jiangnan Governor Kong Sheng is a good official, every meal is a bowl of white porridge, a rough noodle steamed bun, a plate of small pickles, you can only eat a meal of meat during the New Year's Festival, you can't be reluctant on weekdays, and the people are doing well in Jiangnan Mansion, and the reputation is very good."

Oh?

Listening to Li Yuanfang's words, Tang Tingbai's brows furrowed deeply.

"Hua Sheng is a third-grade official, and he earns hundreds of taels of silver every month, so he can definitely afford to eat meat at once, right?"

Li Yuanfang smiled bitterly and nodded again, but there was a little more admiration on his face.

"Yes, the officials of the imperial court are paid five hundred taels a month, but Lord Hua donated most of the money to the people of Jiangnan, and opened a porridge shed at the gate of the yamen of Jiangnan Mansion every day to help those people who can't afford to eat."

I see.

Tang Tingbai touched his chin: "In this way, this Hua Sheng is indeed a good official, what about Kong Rong, the chief soldier of Jiangnan?" Since Hua Sheng is so incorruptible, that Kong Rong should be good, right? ”

This......

Li Yuanfang smiled helplessly.

"Your Majesty, this Kong Rong is just the opposite of Hua Sheng."

"Jiangnan General Soldier Kong Rong was originally Zhuge Invincible's personal soldier, and he was also Zhuge Invincible's righteous son, who made outstanding achievements on the battlefield and was promoted to Jiangnan Commander-in-Chief."

"But since he became the commander-in-chief of Jiangnan, his life has been very luxurious, every meal has to cost hundreds of taels, and he also drinks the blood of soldiers, the original army establishment of Jiangnan Mansion was 20,000 people, but Kong Rong only recruited 5,000 people, but when it was reported to the military department, it was reported according to 20,000 people, which means that he took at least 15,000 soldiers' empty salaries."

"And the Ministry of War has known about this matter for a long time, but because Kong Rong is from West Lake, and Tang Shanhe, the head of the Ministry of War, is also from West Lake, it has never been exposed."

Tang Tingbai nodded, a little curious: "Eat hundreds of taels of silver for one meal?" What are you eating? Even if it's less than a tael of silver for a meal! ”

Li Yuanfang smiled bitterly, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

"This Kong Rong eats partridge rice every ton of white rice, and the so-called partridge rice is planted on the tail of the partridge, and the output is very small, and a bowl of rice is worth a hundred taels of silver!"

"And Kong Rong likes to eat chicken tongues, and he has to kill hundreds of chickens every time he eats, as long as the chicken tongue, think about how much it costs!"

Tang Tingbai didn't speak, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

He didn't even have a tael of silver for an emperor's daily food, but a small Jiangnan general soldier from the third grade was so luxurious, it was really damn good!

Taking a deep breath, Tang Tingbai said to Li Yuanfang: "Call the prime minister and the central general." ”

Ten minutes later, Su Zhen and Zhuge Invincible came to the Xuanzheng Hall again.

In fact, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the two stood at the gate of the palace and did not leave at all.

Because they knew in their hearts that the emperor would definitely call them.

"Chen Su Zhen!"

"Chen Zhuge is invincible!"

"Meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live it~!"

Tang Tingbai waved his hand: "Let's all be even, two adults, I am ready to leave for Jiangnan Mansion in a while, and the court will entrust it to the two of you in the next month!" ”

What?

Leave in a while?

Su Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed: "Please rest assured, the old minister has done his best to make Dayan stable." ”

Zhuge Invincible also bowed: "The old minister is willing to cooperate with the prime minister, please rest assured." ”

Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction: "After I left, the officials immediately selected officials and sent them to various prefectures, and there must be no chaos within Dayan, if someone is disobedient and killed, I don't have much else in Dayan, that is, there are many scholars, so I don't have to worry about the selection of officials!" ”

Su Zhen and Zhuge Wudi glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Because this is the confidence of Tang Tingbai to dare to kill more than 600 Dayan officials.

Dayan has nothing else, but there are many readers.

Although most of them can't read any names.

"Wait for you to understand!" Su Zhen and Zhuge Invincible bowed again.

After the two left, Tang Tingbai stretched: "Yuan Fang, don't go to Jiangnan this time, you sit in Kyoto for me, if there is any disturbance in Kyoto, report to me as soon as possible." ”

"My subordinates understand." Li Yuanfang smiled, he naturally understood what Tang Tingbai meant.

Although Dayan Kyoto seems to be safe now, since Tang Tingbai killed more than 600 Dayan criminals, Dayan's courtiers and families are calm and obedient on the surface.

But behind the scenes, he has long been dissatisfied with the tyrant Tang Tingbai.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tang Tingbai took Xiang Yu, Jia Luo, and a thousand Templar Army masters out of the palace.

In Kyoto, the streets leading to Tokukatsumon are full of people on both sides of the road.

Since the planning of Kyoto, the roads have become wider and smoother.

"The emperor looks like he's going to Jiangnan Mansion? The newspaper said that the Ryukyu vassal state had rebelled and dared to attack our Great Yan Jiangnan Mansion, and that the Ryukyu royal family would never give up if the emperor's character was not slaughtered. ”

"Hehe, the emperor fought Goryeo, my Dayan has one more Goryeo Mansion, the emperor fights Western Xia, I fight Dayan and I have another Xixia Mansion, it is estimated that this time the Ryukyu vassal country will not escape the fate of becoming part of my Dayan."

"The emperor is also the one we people watched grow up, although he is still tyrannical and cruel, but he seems to be more powerful than before, I don't know how many times!"

“……”

The people were talking, their eyes full of appreciation and excitement.

It can be seen from this that Tang Tingbai's prestige among the people.

In fact, what the people want is very simple, they are well fed and clothed, and their wives and children are hot on the kang.

It's as simple as that, and these things are easy to say, but difficult to say.

Throughout the ages, how many people have done it?

Those so-called prosperous times are just bright on the surface, and they have already starved to death behind the scenes.

Tang Tingbai and his entourage left Dayan Kyoto and rushed towards Jiangnan Mansion.
