His Majesty is particularly unusual today and has become very talkative. The group of sycophants is even more unusual today and actually agreed to divide the troops and horses of the five cities into two cities.
The two forces surprisingly reached an agreement for the first time!
Ning Wen's face was always ugly. What trick did Sun Zhen do to give up all the military power?
Military power is a wonderful thing. Once it is given away, it can never be taken back.
The next second, Sun Zhen changed the topic, with a strange look in her eyes, "I agree with what Your Majesty said, but I also have a condition."
"Since I have given Lord Sun such great power, I think it is necessary for Lord Sun to issue a military order!"
Hearing this, Ning Wen's face turned from dark to happy, and couldn't help but secretly thought, "How wonderful!"
Sun Tingzong's power is still there, "Stand up immediately, lest anyone gossip behind your back, just like a bunch of old ladies!"
"You..." Sun Zhen burst into anger and gritted her teeth.
"That's enough!" Li Yi slapped the table, his eyes cold and ruthless, "Master Sun, since some people can't trust you, how about you issue a military order?"
"Okay, I obey your order!"
"I promise to quell the thieves in Dongshan within three months. If I break my promise, I will voluntarily retire and return to my hometown, and will never set foot in the court again."
Sun Tingzong snorted angrily and said, "But there is one thing. If some officials at all levels dare to be presumptuous in front of the old minister, the old minister's sword is not unsharp!"
Hearing this, Sun Zhen, Ning Wen and others sneered. This old madman is really stupid. He dared to issue a military order. How just right!
"There are no jokes in the court. I am waiting quietly in the capital for Lord Sun to return to the court after his victory." Sun Zhen looked as if her plot had succeeded, with a proud face.
The ministers looked at Li Yi proudly, but they didn't know that there was an imperceptible sneer on Li Yi's lips.
It is still unclear who will have the last laugh?
As a military king, I can't handle you old bastards with ease!
"So good!"
"but!"
The word "but" immediately made all the officials who were so proud, their expressions instantly solidified, and they all looked at each other.
Li Yi stood up, stepped off the dragon chair, and said with his hands behind his back: "But I don't have any money. You won't let my soldiers go hungry to suppress the rebellion, right?"
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
He smiled horribly, "Donate money!"
At this time, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were completely at a loss.
This is already the second time I have donated money, but it is obvious that if I don’t shed some blood today, I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave.
"I am willing to donate ten thousand taels!"
"I also donated ten thousand taels..."
"..."
Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty said they were selling houses and land, one by one, to serve the country and the people. If you didn't know better, you would think that they were all a group of loyal ministers.
Li Yi had a bad smile on his face. The little money they had was enough for what they could do, not to mention wages. It wasn't even enough for a reward.
What he lacks most now is money. Why do you say that?
Ever since Cao Qingyan opened the Caihua Hall under his instruction, money has flowed into his pocket as if it had grown legs.
This novel way of playing was once popular throughout the capital, and countless children from wealthy families flocked to it. Especially the several grand prizes of 500,000 silver, which made countless people crazy.
In just one month, the turnover reached a terrifying one million taels of silver.
This is the hen that truly lays golden eggs.
There are only two reasons why these bastards donate money. The first is to disgust them, and the second is to show weakness to the enemy. At least let Ning Wen, Sun Zhen and others know that they are still short of money.
These two are enough.
Besides, Li Yi still has memories of his past life, so if he randomly creates a few gadgets, he still has to worry about not getting enough money?
Li Yi suppressed his laughter and said calmly, "I will keep the loyalty of all my ministers in mind. Please retreat. Sun Aiqing, you should go on an expedition as soon as possible. I am exhausted."
After the morning court, Li Yi returned to the imperial study with a smile on his face, followed closely by Sun Tingzong.
"Your Majesty, the military power has been obtained. In addition, I have arranged for people to take over many positions in the court. This time it can be said that it has been full of gains. However, one thing is that the salary for the expedition is still far behind. What should I do?" Sun Tingzong's face The concerns are self-evident.
How can you fight a war without money? The war is fought with silver. When the cannon is fired, there are thousands of taels of gold. This is no joke.
Li Yi smiled calmly, "You don't have to worry about the payment. I have my own way. Sun Aiqing just needs to fight this battle for me."
After saying that, his eyes flashed, "By the way, I will take Guo Polu with me on this expedition. We will take advantage of this opportunity to recruit troops in Dongshan. In addition, clean up the officials at all levels in Dongshan. Kill them when they need to be killed. Don't be merciful." .”
"Promise, I obey the order." But Sun Tingzong's face was still worried about the salary.
"By the way, Your Majesty, don't you know Qian Zun's house was confiscated?"
Li Yi nodded, "It has been sealed. I gave part of it to Cao Qingyan. It will also take a lot of money to rebuild the internal machine monitor. I think he can leave some for me."
Sun Tingzong frowned and worried: "Qian Zun is indeed a corrupt official. He should have a lot of money after confiscating his house, but it may still be a drop in the bucket. Even if the rebellion is suppressed and Dongshan is rebuilt, it is the time to really spend money. The people are displaced and the land is deserted. If you want to Restoring people’s livelihood requires money.”
"Forget it, since I have taken over this matter, let me find a way. I still have some savings. Even if I risk my face and borrow it, I must make up for this hole so as not to embarrass Your Majesty."
Li Yi was greatly moved in his heart. This is a true loyal minister, but he also found it a bit funny, "Sun Aiqing, how much salary do you have? I'm afraid it's not enough for the whole army to drink a bowl of gruel, right?"
Sun Tingzong smiled awkwardly, his face turning red.
Yes, without corruption, just relying on that little salary is enough to do anything!
Li Yi was full of confidence and determined, "Sun Aiqing, just accept the troops from the two cities and concentrate on putting down the rebellion. As for the money, leave it to me."
Sun Tingzong was very worried, so he set out with a large army and needed millions of silver as a base. In addition to countless grain and grass, weapons and armor, the amount of money needed was huge.
But when he saw Li Yifeng's calm and calm expression, he secretly decided, "No, I will prepare for the expedition right now."
Li Yi looked at Sun Tingzong and said, "Sun Aiqing, leave the wages, money, and food to me. I asked you to take care of this matter, so naturally I will handle it. When the army sets off, I will personally go to cheer you up!"
Sun Tingzong was deeply moved and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, I will never give up even if I die!"
Looking at Sun Tingzong leaving, Li Yi felt for the first time that there were too few capable people in his team. It was really difficult for Sun Tingzong, who was nearly sixty years old and had to personally lead the troops to go on an expedition.
"Imperial College!" Li Yi murmured to himself, but that beautiful figure appeared in his mind again.
Immediately, he stood up slowly and said, "Here comes someone!"
Lu Hancheng stepped in.
"Come with me out of the palace."
"promise!"
It’s time to go visit my Caihua Hall. I’ve never been there since it was established. It’s just a good time to relax.
at the same time.
However, the Minister of War's residence was filled with laughter.
"The emperor's son is still too young. I tried a little trick and he fell into the trap. Now he is probably worried about where to make money!"
"That's right, the young master has unrivaled scheming and easily transferred Sun Tingzong away. Without Sun Tingzong, what's the difference between the emperor's son and a fool?"
"Well said, tell those thieves that they must kill Sun Tingzong and never let this old guy return to the capital alive. During this period, half of the court was filled with his disciples and former officials."
"Don't worry, everyone, Sun Tingzong will not come back alive, hahaha!"
"Fight with us and you will die!"
"Hahaha!"
"..."
