"Your Majesty, before Wei Chen said it, please forgive me for the crime of pretending." Wei Xu suddenly knelt on the ground and said.

Liu Yong felt that Wei Xu's next words must have been after a long period of thought.

"I regard the general as a brother, but the general still regards me as the heir?" Liu Yong pulled him up and said with displeasure on his face, "In this way, I want your queen mother to stop calling Xiyue a sister." ”

Wei Xu was even more grateful.

"Weichen must be just a general, and many times he still has some concerns, worried that His Majesty will not believe it." Wei Xu explained.

"Does the general want to tell me about the forbidden army?" Liu Yong deliberately bypassed Chen Yi's name and asked.

"Exactly." Wei Xu nodded.

"The general just has to say it."

"Wechen obeys." Wei Xu completely let go of his worries and said, "During the time when Your Majesty was away from Jiangdong, the soldiers of the forbidden army around me were replaced several times. At first, Wechen thought that this was because Lord Chen Yi was worried that the brothers would be too familiar and cause friction, or that he was worried that he would pose some threats to the palace after being familiar with the terrain of the palace, so this would be the case, but recently, Weichen found that this matter was by no means so simple. ”

"What's the matter, does the general suspect that Lord Chen Yi's frequent mobilization of the forbidden army is selfish?" Liu Yong asked.

"Wei Chen can't believe it, Lord Chen Yi must be one of His Majesty's most trusted ministers." Wei Xu continued, "Later, after careful observation and secret questioning by Wei Chen, I learned the real purpose of Lord Chen Yi's mobilization of the forbidden army in this way. ”

"The general speaks quickly." Liu Yong urged.

"According to one of Wechen's cronies, they were transferred overnight by Lord Chen Yi to a far away place, and there, there was a Hongdae underground tomb complex. The number of various funeral goods in it is enough to support the military and civilian people in Shuzhong for several years. Wei Xu said.

Liu Yong was shocked.

"I have heard that in the past, Emperor Taizu of Cao Wei once formed a team dedicated to stealing underground property for military expenses, called Captain Jin, Lord Chen Yi dared to follow the example of Emperor Taizu?"

"Your Majesty is very wrong if you think so." Wei Xu said, "According to Weichen's secret inquiry, Lord Chen Yi has secretly stolen one-tenth of the tomb, and the property has been transported to a place called Qucheng, which is said to be very remote, and the officials there are also acquainted with Lord Chen Yi, and the collected property has been transferred to the ground. ”

"What does Lord Chen Yi want?" Liu Yong was surprised this time.

Qucheng is also a subordinate county in the counties under the jurisdiction of Hanzhong, where the county commander Liu Yong has never seen, it is said that the road to Qucheng is extremely difficult, and there are many tigers and leopards along the way.

What was the purpose of Chen You's sending the proceeds there?

"The minister is also speculating about the real purpose of Lord Chen's move." Wei Xu said.

"The general doesn't need to hide it, just talk about it."

"Yes." Wei Xu said, "At first, Weichen also thought that Lord Chen Yi stole a lot of property with the intention of enriching my Shu Han armament, and it must be that my Shu has not yet reached the situation where I was overflowing with money and food in the past, and I have no worries about the future. It's just that His Majesty returned, but he didn't see Lord Chen Yi mention this matter, according to this, Weichen thought that Lord Chen Yi's move must have his own selfishness. I also hope that Your Majesty will investigate this matter as soon as possible, so as not to leave trouble. ”

Liu Yong didn't speak for a long time.

Wei Xu's words are very reasonable.

Today, everyone in the court also discussed this matter, and they all knew that although the current situation of Shu Han was slightly better than that of previous years, it was far from enough to support a long-term war, and most of everyone's concerns about the Northern Expedition were here. However, Chen Yi repeatedly mentioned that the opportunity was rare, and advocated that he personally recruited, and never mentioned this underground wealth, is he really selfish? Do you want to leave as soon as possible, so that you can let go of your hands?

What is he going to do with such a huge fortune?

"According to the general, if this wealth is used as military expenses, it should be able to support me in Shu for a few years?" Liu Yong asked.

Wei Xu pondered for a moment.

"According to Weichen's cronies, if it is only used for various expenses in the army, it can be covered for ten years."

Liu Yong stood up.

"The general quickly left the palace and brought the soldier to me secretly, and I will ask him personally."

"Yes." Wei Xu turned to leave.

After the time of a stick of incense:

Wei Xu walked in with a forbidden sergeant.

Where have the soldiers seen the emperor, as soon as they came in, they looked extremely nervous, kneeling on the ground and not even daring to raise their heads.

Liu Yong walked over and helped him up with his own hands.

"The general doesn't need to be nervous, I'm not a cannibal, I want you to come here to ask about something, the general just rest assured, I will never show the slightest rumor."

Liu Yong's gentle drizzle made the soldier's hanging heart fall in an instant.

"General Wei Xu has already mentioned it to the villain, if Your Majesty has any questions, just ask."

Liu Yong nodded.

"According to your opinion, how much material is left in the tomb stolen by Lord Chen Yi? After it was transported to Qucheng, who received it and where is it now? ”

"The villain does not dare to hide from His Majesty." The soldier replied, "The villain and the other five hundred people were transferred to the outside of the city by Lord Chen Yi a few days ago, and they thought it was just a routine exercise, but they didn't want to go to a very remote place overnight, where there was a huge group of tombs, and before the villain waited, there were already five hundred brothers of the forbidden army here. According to the villain's observation, this tomb is not less than dozens of miles in radius, of which there are as many as hundreds of tombs, most of which are hidden underground. Lord Chen Yi asked the villain to wait for the latecomers to look for the burial goods in the back, and the early brothers were responsible for digging in the front. That night alone amounted to dozens of truckloads. And this is less than one-tenth of the tomb group. The belongings were then sent to Qucheng, where they were received and counted by the county magistrate, Lord Jahe, and then taken to a secret underground location in the backyard of the county government. ”

"Is there anyone else in the county government?"

"There are more than a dozen general-looking people." The soldier replied, "Probably the man in charge of guarding the property, who looks very fierce." ”

Liu Yong fell into deep thought.

"By the way, Lord Chen Yi wants the villain to keep it a secret, and if the news is revealed, he will want the villain to wait for the life of the whole family. I don't know where Lord Chen Yi heard about it, but he knows the situation of many of my brothers very clearly. Therefore, no one dared to speak. The soldier added.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty treats all the brothers of the forbidden army like brothers, and will never reveal half a word." Wei Xu on the side interjected.

"The villain knows." The soldiers nodded again and again, "The brothers in the forbidden army all said that His Majesty is a corporal, and today I know that this is true." ”

Liu Yong continued to man for a moment.

"Come, take him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive the reward." After a while, Liu Yong instructed the eunuch on duty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The soldiers were flattered.

"Don't mention today's events to anyone, and I may still be of use to you in the future." Liu Yong admonished.

The soldier reluctantly agreed, and went out with the eunuch.

Liu Yong looked at Wei Xu.

"General Wei Xu must also keep his mouth shut about this matter, and report to me as soon as possible when Lord Chen Yi mobilizes the forbidden army next time."

"Your Majesty is not going to ......"

Liu Yong smiled silently, just nodded slightly.

"Wechen understood." Wei Xu agreed.
