Hearing that there were still 500,000 taels of silver in the inner treasury, Xu Qiushan and Liu Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the inner treasury must be more than 500,000 taels, but the emperor also said that the other money could not be moved.

Okay, then let's not move, but even so, Liu Fang and Xu Qiushan still feel that today's visit to the palace is also a victory, and they finally got 500,000 taels from the emperor's mouth.

Fool them into fighting the battle first, and if they win, naturally the treasures of the vultures belong to the soldiers, but if they lose, they are sorry, they have no merit or fault, and they will not be paid any more silver, and it is good enough not to punish.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thanks Your Majesty Long En for the soldiers on the front line!" Liu Fang and Xu Qiushan fell to the ground at the same time.

"Well, after all, I'm also a soldier." Emperor Jingtai said lightly, Xuan'er looked at the two cabinet ministers, and then said: "You follow Lu Kun", and looked at Lu Kun again, "Lu Kun took two cabinet elders and transferred 500,000 taels from the inner treasury to the treasury, as for how to use it, the cabinet will go back and draw up a charter." ”

Liu Fang, Xu Qiushan, and Lu Kun bowed down at the same time: "Minister/old slave, receive the order!" ”

Finally, the hundreds of ministers outside the Qianqing Palace, at this time, saw the two cabinet assistants who came out of the Qianqing Palace, and they were all relieved, Liu Fang stood on the royal steps at this time and said to the hundred officials:

"The emperor agreed, transferred 500,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury, transported to the treasury of the household department, and when the silver taels arrived at the treasury, everyone discussed a charter, how to use the 500,000 taels in military affairs, and then handed over the charter to Your Majesty.

Of course, this charter must be taken out as soon as possible, after all, the front-line Shanhaiguan is already facing the Wuzhen people! ”

"Humble rank understands!" Suddenly, more than 100 ministers bent down and saluted.

Xu Qiushan said at this time: "Since you have successfully met Your Majesty and asked Your Majesty to transfer 500,000 taels, then you should all disperse, and there is no need to stay here!" ”

"Yes!" All the ministers bowed their hands at the same time and spoke respectfully, and then they dispersed.

Liang Hong stood in place, about to go to his old father-in-law to ask for details, and at this time, Xu Qiushan also happened to look at Liang Hong, and immediately said:

"Ziming, you also go back first, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later."

Liang Hong immediately bowed down to receive the order, he knew that his father-in-law must have other things to do, so Liang Hong did not stay any longer, and left with the flow of people.

The residence of the General Soldier of Shanhaiguan.

Cheng Shigong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, was in his room, taking a nap, when suddenly there was a noisy sound in the room outside.

Cheng Shigong rolled back and forth on the bed, and finally sat up, a little annoyed in his heart, and shouted: "Someone~!" ”

At this moment, a maid hurriedly walked over and said to Cheng Shigong: "Master." ”

"What's going on out there? Why is it so noisy? Cheng Shigong asked a little angrily, it was true that he was sleeping on his head, and he was suddenly woken up, no wonder he was angry.

The maid immediately replied: "The slave and maid don't know the specifics, but the housekeeper knows that the master is taking a nap, and a few generals say that there are important military affairs to talk to the master, and after the housekeeper knows about it, he feels that the military affairs are not very important, so he stopped them and didn't let them disturb the master." ”

Cheng Shigong heard that this was the case, and finally the evil fire slowly suppressed it, and he immediately said: "Give the master and me a change of clothes." ”

After Cheng Shigong put on his clothes, he fetched water from the maid in the inner room, briefly freshened up, and then strode out of the inner room and went to the hall.

After a while, he came to the hall, and at this time, several people in the hall were still arguing, Cheng Shigong's face couldn't help but be gloomy, and those people were talking loudly, and they didn't notice that someone walked in outside.

Cheng Shigong immediately said loudly: "Yo, it's very lively!" ”

As soon as they heard Cheng Shigong's voice, the five people in the hall immediately turned their heads to look over, and then their faces turned pale, and they immediately cringed one by one, and said at the same time: "Big ...... Handsome! ”

"Noisy, keep arguing?" Cheng Shigong glanced at the five people with a gloomy face, "Wasn't it very noisy just now?" ”

At this time, there was a general, and he couldn't help but say, "Big ...... Dashuai, our scouts found the scouts of the Wuzhen people more than ten miles away from Shanhaiguan, and everyone pondered that the Wuzhen people united with the grassland tribes, and they would soon move troops against our department, so everyone came to see the Dashuai,—— Dashuai, the military situation is like fire! ”

At this time, one of these five people was middle-aged, with a little hunched back, he was the housekeeper of the Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion, and the old man of the Cheng family, he immediately said to Cheng Shigong: "Master, the old slave should be noisy about the master's nap, the old slave only feels that the old man has been worried about the fall of Shenyang City on the front line these days.

The old slave looked worried, so the old slave listened to these generals say that the scouts found out about the vultures, but after all, they haven't seen most of the vultures, and the old man takes a nap in the end, and when the old man wakes up in the second half of the afternoon, it's not too late to deal with this matter, the old slave, the old slave is guilty! ”

Saying that, he knelt down directly, Cheng Shigong looked at it, hurriedly picked him up, and comforted him with good words: "I'm such a bad person? Besides, Uncle Zhong is not wrong. ”

Then he looked at the four subordinate generals, and immediately said with a solemn expression: "The four of you follow me up to the city tower!" ”

"The last general commands!" The four generals immediately clenched their fists in response.

On the head of the north gate of Shanhaiguan, Cheng Shigong, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, led the four subordinate generals while inspecting the city wall, and at the same time looked into the distance outside the pass, and even saw the goshawk flying in the distance.

Cheng Shigong's heart instantly became hazy, and he said to several generals behind him: "It is said that the Wuzhen people are boiling eagles, and the eagles are used as sentinels for reconnaissance. ”

The faces of the generals behind him were also gloomy, and everyone had a scale in their hearts, especially when they heard about the current situation in the imperial court, the emperor was obsessed with cultivating immortals and practicing the Tao, and the treasury had little money.

At this moment, a herald shouted, "Report ——! ”

So Cheng Shigong and the generals turned their heads to look over and saw that a herald was running towards this side.

When the herald came to the front of Cheng Shigong, he immediately knelt down, and then said loudly: "Marshal Qiqi, there is an urgent letter from the military department at the south city gate!" ”
