"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from!" Li Afu, the chief eunuch next to him, said to His Royal Highness's hundred officials.

"Something to do!"

Saying that, a minister came out of the hundred officials, this person is the current Prime Minister Zhang Hong, Zhang Hong is now close to the age of six, the elder of the Three Dynasties, and the most powerful confidant of Queen Mu in the court.

Zhang Hong had long known about Ang Lee's ambitions, and because Ang Lee's network in the imperial court was complicated and there were many henchmen, he could only be hostile to Ang Lee on the surface, so that he could be slightly restrained, and he could not be annihilated in one fell swoop.

"The minister has something to do!" and there was still no response from the court, so Zhang Hong gently raised his head to check his eyes, only to see the little emperor lying on the dragon chair dozing.

And Zhang Hong's scene, I don't feel a burst of sadness, when the first emperor was alive, how powerful and majestic, diligent and loving the people, but now the emperor is still young, unable to sort out the government, resulting in a lot of traitors and the regime is in danger.

Seeing that the emperor was like this, Queen Mu hurriedly said to Zhang Hong: "Prime Minister Zhang, what do you have to do?"

"Queen Mother, the 300,000 taels of salaries that our army escorted to the front line were robbed halfway through! The robbery of military salaries is a matter of national health, and I hope that Niangniang will make a clear decision!" Zhang Hong knelt in front of the palace and said to Queen Mu.

Li An, who heard these words, was not shocked, but still pretended to be unconcerned.

"What? The military salary has been robbed?! Who is so bold that he actually despises the authority of our Heavenly Dynasty and openly opposes our Heavenly Dynasty!" When Empress Mu heard about the military salary, her face showed anger for a while, and then she spoke loudly to the ministers of Her Royal Highness.

Seeing Tianwei's anger, the ministers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground one by one, not daring to speak, while Li An also bowed his head on the side and thought about how to respond.

When the little emperor heard the voice of the queen mother, he was also frightened, and hurriedly sat on the dragon chair.

"Where is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department?" I saw Queen Mu shouting to the bottom of the main hall.

One of the ministers walked out to the middle of the main hall and knelt down.

"Sima Lingyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and Punishment, visited the emperor and the queen!"

"This palace orders you to find out the case of military pay within a month, and if it is not clear within the time limit, it will be severely punished!" said Sima Lingyun under Empress Mu.

"Obey the order!" said Sima Lingyun to the side, and at this time, Li An secretly peeked. Then he lowered his head and continued to think about his own countermeasures.

Because I didn't expect that this matter would make such a big fuss, and Sima Lingyun and Zhang Hong have always been very dissatisfied with Li An, and this time they will definitely investigate this matter strictly and thoroughly.

Although Li An is now in the hands of soldiers and horses, he is enough to confront the imperial court, but he is suffering from being unknown, afraid of being attacked by the world, and even more afraid of being infamous through the ages.

"Retreat!" Seeing that no one was playing, Li Afu's father-in-law shouted.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, mother, mother, thousand years, thousands of years!"

After the ministers saluted, they walked out together, and then Queen Mu said to Li Afu beside her: "Go, call Prime Minister Zhang to my bedroom, I have something important to discuss with him." ”

After saying that, Queen Mu walked towards the palace.

After a while, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng came to Queen Mu's bedroom.

"See Niangniang. As soon as Zhang Hong entered the door, he knelt down and spoke.

"You guys go down first!" Queen Mu saw Prime Minister Zhang Cheng coming, so she retreated.

After walking left and right to the door, Queen Mu hurriedly stood up from her seat, and then walked to Zhonghong's side.

"Zhang Aiqing, please hurry up, Zhang Aiqing has done a good job in today's palace. Queen Mu picked up Zhang Hong, and then praised Zhang Hong.

"It's Niangniang's wisdom, Niangniang's trick really worked, when Weichen was robbed of his military salary today, he deliberately observed Li An beside him, only to see that his face was full of surprise, and he kept silent, bowing his head and meditating. So I dare to conclude that this must have something to do with him. Zhang Hong said to Queen Mu.

"I'm here today, since the death of the first emperor, Ang Lee has been coveting the throne, privately recruiting troops and building weapons. This time it must be too much to spend. That's why I remembered to rob the army's salary. Ann is going to do it. Queen Mu took a broken step and said to Zhang Hong.

"There are 50,000 forbidden troops stationed outside the imperial city, and this old man didn't dare to make a mistake for a while. Niangniang, why don't we take it down above the court to prevent future troubles?" Zhang Hong asked puzzled when he saw Niangniang's words.

"The commander of the Praetorian Guard outside the main hall is a close confidant of Li An, and if he acts rashly, he is afraid that it will backfire. In addition, the reason why Ang Lee has not rebelled is that he is unknown. If he is arrested rashly, I am afraid that Li An will say that the court has no way and framed Zhongliang, but it has created conditions for him to start an incident. Queen Mu said to Zhang Hong.

"What Niangniang said is very true, it turns out that today Niangniang asked Weichen to deliberately say about the military salary, and sent Sima Lingyun to investigate, in order to force Li An to rebel, the minister is stupid, just now Niang's move is high. Zhang Hong heard the words of the queen mother, and suddenly opened his mouth, and he didn't feel sincere admiration for the mother.

"Aiqing has an overreputation, because only by forcing Ang Lee to rebel can we have a chance of winning. Because Li An was forced to mutiny, then the general would be unknown and would be attacked by the world. That's when we can achieve the final victory. Queen Mu said.

What Niangniang said was extremely true, Weichen went down to assist Sima Lingyun in investigating the case thoroughly. Zhang Hong said goodbye to the queen and walked towards the door.

At this time, the wooden queen stayed alone in the house, and then fell into deep thought alone. Because every move he makes will affect the fate of this country.

At this time, Li An, who returned to the palace, walked around anxiously.

Seeing Li An's flustered expression, the housekeeper stepped forward and asked, "Master, what makes you so uneasy?"

"You came just in time, let me tell you, the matter of military salaries today Zhang Hong's old puppet played the queen, the queen sent Sima Lingyun to investigate, this Sima Lingyun has been at odds with me, and they have to move in advance. Li An said eagerly to the housekeeper beside him.

When the housekeeper heard the words of the old man Li An, he panicked for a while, and then immediately calmed down.

"Don't panic, sir, they are forcing us to rebel, but the time is not yet right, if we act rashly, we will only fall for their tricks. Just imagine the prince, we are acting in rebellion now, and we will be crusaded against by the world. The housekeeper said earnestly to Li An.

"What should I do?" Li An nodded when he saw the butler say this, and then continued to ask.

I saw the butler walking towards Li Ang as he spoke.

"Don't worry, master, I have a way, and listen to me slowly. ”
