Great Xia, Shangjing, Taihe Palace.

A group of ministers of the Military Cabinet are urgently convening a court meeting, and the core issue is the invasion of Longxi by the Heavenly Wolf Empire.

Qin Zheng sat on the dragon chair and performed the responsibility of supervising the country, while Emperor Xia had not been in court for several months.

"Your Highness, the Sky Wolf's raid on Longxi was really sudden, and the defenders were not fully prepared, so they were defeated. The minister thought that as long as we were prepared enough, it would be no problem to hold Longxi, and when the war in the north was over, Marshal Ji would be transferred back, and Longxi would be stable. ”

Qiu Rende, the secretary of the military department, said cautiously.

Qin Zheng's face was pale, Qiu Rende in front of him was his hardcore confidant, he used to be the person responsible for manufacturing firecrackers and cannons, and later Qin Zheng became the prince, so he quickly abolished Wu Pengju, the former secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and helped him become the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

This is not over, last month, in order to consolidate the military power, Qin Zheng almost insisted on helping him to an important position in the military department.

But this guy is really not angry, and as soon as he took office, he arranged his nephew to Longxi.

He thought that Longxi had become a safe place after Ji Qing's ploughing and guarding, so he didn't have to go to the northern battlefield.

But who knows, his nephew is a big straw bale.

Greedy for merit, let go of the good city and not defend it, but have to climb out and fight with the wolf cavalry.

Then he was captured and surrendered at the speed of light, becoming the first Sanpin general in Great Xia to be captured by the Heavenly Wolf, and after that, the deputy general of Longxi did his best to save him.

The people were rescued, but Longxi City was lost.

The west gate equivalent to Great Xia was completely opened, and now in the entire northwest, there is only one big city in Longyou.

But when this happened, he himself also had a lot of responsibility, and Qiu Rende was his person, so he had to protect it.

Qin Zheng could only divert the contradiction: "Lord Qiu, what you said is extremely true!" However, the palace believes that the king of southern Yunnan failed to garrison Longyou in time, and formed a front and rear fortress with Longxi, so he quickly urged the king of southern Yunnan to send troops to take over Longyou. ”

Shen Wansan snorted lightly: "Prison country, let's not say that the king of southern Yunnan is far away in southern Yunnan, it will take at least ten days and a half months to open an army from southern Yunnan, and the king of southern Yunnan does not have many troops. ”

"On the contrary, it was that Yue Lun, as a general of the third grade, with an army of 50,000 and two divine machine battalions to assist, actually lost the important town of Longxi overnight, and opened the door to the northwest of my Great Xia."

"Dare to fight the minister, please investigate Yue Lun's dereliction of duty!"

Qiu Rende immediately scolded: "Lord Shen, you are a civil official, what do you know about war?" That day, the wolf was menacing, known as an army of 300,000, although Yue Lun had a good weapon to assist, but the sky wolf also had firearms. ”

"I don't know which traitor leaked it?"

Shen Wansan snorted coldly: "Qiu Rende, you are a small waiter of the Ministry of Labor, in less than half a year, you have been promoted to four levels in a row, can you sit in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War?" ”

"Since you took office, you have suppressed dissidents and supported cronies, and many famous veterans in the army have returned to their hometowns because of this. What kind of general is supporting your straw bale nephew to be? I said a long time ago, he doesn't have that ability to know, does he? ”

"This official seriously suspects that you, Qiu Rende, are a meticulous work sent by the enemy, and you deliberately sabotage my Great Xia military system, please investigate Qiu Rende and his nephew for negligence and dereliction of duty!"

Qiu Rende snorted coldly: "Fart, Shen Wansan, you don't want to smear people's innocence out of thin air!" As the saying goes, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the old man is also very sad when such a thing happens, but this is not a reason for you to rape the old man. ”

"Piff, this Great Xia will be defeated in your hands sooner or later!" Shen Wansan snorted coldly.

Qin Zheng's eyes on the side were cold, but then he changed into an amiable appearance.

"Two adults, don't quarrel! You are all the ministers of the humerus of Great Xia, and this palace really doesn't want us to be disunited at this time. ”

"Lord Qiu, Yue Lun did suffer a defeat, it is enough to see that he is not that capable, this palace has decided to revoke his position as a general in the northwest, but he is allowed to retain the body of the third rank and wear meritorious service."

"Let him withdraw to Longyou and continue to build a defensive line."

"Lord Shen, now that spring has begun, the war horses are getting thinner and thinner, but the soldiers still can't eat enough and can't wear them, and the money in the household department has actually been allocated."

"As far as this palace knows, there is another big reason for the defeat of Longxi, that is, the household department has been dragging the military salaries and grain and grass of the Longxi army on the grounds of financial constraints."

"Lord Shen, if you really want to talk about it, you can't get rid of this big defeat!"

Qin Zheng's tone was indifferent, but between the lines there was no sense of oppression, and Shen Wansan was angry.

He is not the God of Wealth, this front line wants money, the west wants money, and the east and south are also asking for money. The most important thing is that the group of moths in the military department scrapes oil layer by layer.

He deliberately dragged the bad and didn't give it, giving priority to satisfying Ji Qing's side, but he didn't expect it to become a handle.

Shen Wansan choked and said: "Jianguo is right, but why don't others Pingkou and exterminate the Japanese without additional silver from the imperial court, but once Qiu Rende's nephew goes, it won't work?" ”

Qin Zheng's eyes were cold, he knew that Shen Wansan was not talking about Qin Yun?

He patted the wooden case and suddenly got up: "Enough, Shen Wansan, don't force this palace to dismiss your official!" ”

Shen Wansan stiffened his neck: "I can't ask for it!" With you insects, sooner or later I will bear the infamy of the country! ”

Qiu Rende: "Presumptuous, reversed, reversed!" Dare to insult the prison country, come to someone, and take down his Shen Wansan's big rebellion! ”

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Prime Minister Yang An stood up and said, "Prison country, Lord Qiu, Shen Shangshu also has Shen Shangshu's difficulties. ”

"At present, all parts of the country are busy with spring planting, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, otherwise this year's harvest will be delayed, and there are many things that the household department is busy with. There is also the Seedling Act set by His Majesty before, and the matter of apportioning the land into the mu, which also needs to be implemented by the household department one by one. ”

"Lord Shen is not easy!"

Qiu Rende immediately seized the opportunity: "What kind of green seedling method, spread into the mu, it is all Qin Yun's bad idea to oppose the king, the lord of the prison country, the minister thinks that he should stop immediately and return the money to the court." ”

"In addition, now that there are wars in the northwest, war taxes should be apportioned to all localities, isn't there this money?"

Shen Wansan puffed his eyes: "Qiu Rende, it's spring planting, are you embarrassed to say this?" ”

"Why are you embarrassed, the country is gone, what land do those people still plant?"

"Not only that, but an additional 300,000 troops should be conscripted to defend against the Sky Wolf Empire."

Xu Jiang couldn't stand it and stood up: "There was a famine in various places last year, and conscription and tax increases at this time are tantamount to making the people desperate!" ”

"Never add!"

The minister thought that he could suffer the people first, and the minister was willing to donate a year's income to tide over the difficulties with the court. Lord Shen, your Shen family has a lot of money, and you keep saying that you are for the people, why don't you see your Shen family contributing? ”

"That's it, Lord Shen, you can't say one thing and do another!"

Shen Wansan's gaze swept over everyone present, with a look of disappointment on his face, you are an old man who has entered the pavilion, and you have not been in the pavilion for a year, is it possible that you will starve to death?

And the people mistakenly planted the spring, they really starved to death, and the most infuriating thing is that they actually said that he Shen Wansan said one thing and did another?

Shen Wansan was too lazy to hide it anymore: "Do you really think that I, Shen, am the God of Wealth?" One million here, three million there, do you really think that this silver was conjured up by someone Shen Shen out of thin air? ”

"My Shen family's money is His Majesty's money, and it is also the money of the imperial court, my Shen Wansan has never filled his pockets, if you think this household is good, okay, I will resign!"

As soon as Shen Wansan took off his hat, he was about to turn around and leave.

Qin Zheng suddenly got up: "Stop!" Shen Wansan, where are you going? Do you still have me in your eyes? ”

Shen Wansan looked at Qin Zheng coldly: "What if you have it, what if you don't?" ”

"Bold!"

"Presumptuous!"

Officials from Qin Zheng's family stood up and accused.

Qin Zheng was furious, and today Shen Wansan didn't give him any face.

He walked to the side and picked up Shang Fang's sword: "Shen Wansan, this palace asks you again, where are you going?" ”

Shen Wansan looked at the sword coldly, it had been twenty years, he had worked hard for Great Xia for twenty years, but at this moment, this so-called prison country actually aimed the sword at him.

Shen Wansan didn't speak, didn't shout grievances, just closed his eyes, he really tried his best, he knew that he wouldn't come back!

At this moment, Qin Zheng had already been set up there, and he knew that if he didn't symbolically show his majesty today, from now on, in this military machine pavilion, his words might not be so useful.

Qin Zheng slowly approached Shen Wansan with his sword, he was waiting for Shen Wansan to give in.

But just as he raised his sword, the door of the temple was slowly pushed open, and a ray of sunlight entered, and a dissolute and chic middle-aged man walked in.

"Yo, what about a court meeting? Coincidentally, I don't need to inform them one by one. ”
