The powerful minister's palm is reborn

Chapter 211 What is the Princess of Xiliang busy with?

"Your Majesty, the Xiliang Army is brave and good at fighting." The Minister of the Ministry of War raised his eyes and asked timidly: "Should there be no need to send soldiers to help?"

"You bastard." Emperor Jianing looked at the cowardly and weak appearance of the Minister of War, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at him.

"Your Majesty, calm down." All the officials fell to the ground.

The warm tea spilled on the chest of the Minister of the Ministry of War. He didn't dare to hide, but just endured it, and then fell to the ground without saying a word.

Emperor Jianing got up and looked at the civil servants and generals of the court, and he was so anxious that he was so anxious that he said: "For so many years, the king of Xiliang has been stationed at the border, and he has spent less time with his only daughter. Now he is taking Xiliang City to resist Xu Guo. But you told me here that there should be no need to send soldiers to assist in the battle."

"Do you know how many generals Dongyuan will lose if Xiliang City is destroyed?" Emperor Jianing scolded, wishing he could strangle the idiot kneeling on the ground to death.

"Chen" Minister of the Ministry of War wanted to defend himself, but he was afraid that His Majesty would be angered if he spoke again, so he shut his mouth.

"Near Xiliang City is He Yang City. The wolf smoke sent a letter to ask He Yang City to help out first. Then I will mobilize troops and horses to support quickly." Emperor Jianing quickly made a decision.

Xue Wan stepped into the main hall, knelt down and begged, "See Your Majesty."

"Why are you here?" Emperor Jianing saw Xue Wan and sat back on the dragon chair.

Xue Wan raised his eyes and replied: "Your Majesty, do you know that He Yangcheng has fewer and fewer soldiers due to the issue of food and pay these years, leaving behind old and weak soldiers. If you expect He Yangcheng to support Xiliang City, why don't you let ten It’s useful for a year-old child to go to support.”

"Get up and answer, how did you know?" Emperor Jianing asked immediately.

Xue Wan cupped his hands and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, when the princess left the capital, he asked the ministers to go to the Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to check the situation of the troops stationed in various places, so that when a crisis breaks out in Xiliang City, he can quickly dispatch elite troops to help. "

"Your Majesty, the situation is not optimistic." Xue Wan was straight-tempered and did not shy away from talking about the disadvantages of Dongyuan's troops stationed in various places except the Xiliang Army.

The payment of food and salaries was not timely, the families of soldiers who died in battle were not able to receive pensions in time, and the armaments were not fully equipped, and so on.

"It's unreasonable." Emperor Jianing stood up against the case, and looked at Taifu Lou who was kneeling in the hall with fierce eyes: "Teacher Lou, half of those generals were recommended by you, and you told me that there was no problem with them. Now you Come and tell me, what happened?"

Taifu Lou was over sixty years old and had a gray beard. He couldn't stand the scare at such an age, so he knelt on the ground with a plop, and immediately got rid of his responsibility: "Your Majesty, you have not yet thoroughly investigated at this time, you can't listen to General Xue's words. Convict other generals?"

As he said that, Taifu Lou looked at Xue Wan who was standing beside him, and asked anxiously: "General Xue belongs to the Xiliang Army, and you have been talking about the disadvantages of other armies. Don't you think your Xiliang Army has any disadvantages?" ?”

"Throughout the ages, no one has been able to maintain a fair and balanced account book without any deviation?" Mrs. Lou asked coldly, withdrawing her gaze.

Xue Wan stepped forward, came to Grand Tutor Lou, and said softly: "Teacher Lou, don't judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!"

"When the princess asked me to investigate the case, I specifically told the general to sort out all the evidence one by one."

Xue Wan presented the case file he was carrying with him, and Eunuch Yi quickly took the evidence from Xue Wan's hand and presented it to Emperor Jianing.

Emperor Jianing took the file and read it one by one.

Mrs. Lou looked at Xue Wan unconvinced, and said: "Don't avoid the important and ignore the minor, and come to the court with a little bit of twig to provoke right and wrong."

"Your Xiliang Army has 50 troops, and the King of Xiliang and the Duke Huguo also have soldiers and horses under their command. Do you want your Majesty to incorporate all the troops and horses into the Xiliang Army by slandering the affairs of other generals?"

"Your intentions are really sinister, and your intentions can be punished." Mrs. Lou scolded sharply, with an appearance of worrying about the country's society.

"Presumptuous. Who are you scolding?" Emperor Jianing was furious.

"The king of Xiliang and I are comrades-in-arms at the close of life and death, and I personally promised the military power in the hands of the princess." Emperor Jianing looked at Taifu Lou with serious eyes, and cursed: "You are here where I know people. Unknown, nepotism?"

"I dare not." Taifu Lou wished he could slap himself twice.

He only wanted to shirk his responsibility, but he didn't forget that the real master of Xiliang Army was Bai Qingyin, the little princess.

Stealing chicken will not lose rice!

"I don't dare, Your Majesty calm down, when can you change the words." Emperor Jianing lost his temper after being tortured by Grand Tutor Lou's words.

Emperor Jianing had finished looking through the evidence in his hands, and sighed secretly: "These loopholes are extremely difficult to find out, did Yinyin give you a hint?"

"Exactly." Wu Tongzhou stepped forward, reported back, and then said: "Your Majesty, I don't worry about the princess's carefulness, so I didn't realize which account book was faked."

"Then how did you notice it this time?" Emperor Jianing asked.

Wu Tongzhou said: "The princess said that if it is a real account book, there may be no traces to be found. But if it is a fake account book, there will be traces to follow."

"Everyone has their own numbers. If some numbers appear frequently, it is a fake." Wu Tongzhou cupped his hands and saluted: "I checked the account book carefully, but some numbers appeared frequently, so I found Xue General, let her people help to investigate around, and only then did I know that people have been secretly withholding food and grass all these years."

"Your Majesty, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Could it be that her Xiliang army is clean?" Grand Tutor Lou spoke again.

There are problems with the garrisons everywhere, and His Majesty will definitely punish him. He can only push the problem to Bai Qingyin, making His Majesty care about his most beloved niece and let him go.

"The distributing of all military supplies and the calculation of food and salary under the Xiliang Army's account are done by the princess himself. At the end of every month, the princess will ask General Sheng and the prince to ask the people under the account how much food and salary they have received, and whether the supplies are in place. Letter to the princess, and the princess will verify it again."

"The princess has enjoyed Tang Muyi since he was born. Apart from helping the family members who died in battle, he will also pay for his own family members in the middle of winter." Xue Wan said in front of the civil and military officials of the court that the princess has been busy all these years. something.

These things were originally hidden, but now it is because the princess has arrived in Xiliang and met the commander of the Xiliang army, so there is no need to hide these things.

After finishing speaking, Xue Wan looked back at everyone: "The account books of the Xiliang Army will be handed over to the old prince after accounting, and the soldiers will sign their names when the supplies, food and salaries are distributed, and then the account books will be handed back to the prince. After the prince returns to the capital, he will hand it over to the princess for verification."

"May I ask my lords, who can handle accounts so carefully?" Xue Wan was silent, waiting for everyone's answer.

"." Everyone was silent.
