After reading it and listening to the words of Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi, Governor Du Antong was a little reluctant to believe it.
"How is this possible? How could a mere cunning man wipe out Xia Shaoyuan's entire army?" Chief Governor Du Antong said.
After listening to the words of the Grand Governor Du Antong, Su Yun stood up and said: "The truth seems impossible, but the fact is here, you have to believe it if you don't believe it."
Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs on the side, did not understand military matters. He looked at his son Cen Anze and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Seeing the look his father was looking at, Cen Anze, Minister of the Ministry of War, shook his head, looked at the Governor Du Antong on the side, and said: "Captain Du, you have stayed in this court longer than the younger generation. Can you think of a way?"
At this time, the three people's eyes were all looking at the Governor Du Antong.
Among these people, indeed, he was the only one who understood this military matter. Seeing the looks from the three of them, most of the governors asked Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, about the military pay.
"Cen Shangshu, if one of the main armies of these three provinces is used to suppress this group of unruly people, will the military pay be sufficient?" Du Antong, the governor-general, asked.
Hearing the question from Grand Governor Du Antong, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, thought for a while and didn't know what he thought of. Cen Wenxing looked at the left prime minister Su Yunqi who was sitting in front of him without saying a word.
Seeing the look in the eyes of Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Revenue, and seeing no words from him, Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, said anxiously: "What are you doing looking at me? What do you want to say? Just say it."
After a while, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, confessed: "This military pay is not enough. A few days ago, the queen gave birth to a princess. It is the season when Huanglong fruit is about to mature. The emperor ordered the purchaser to go to Guangnan to pick fresh Huanglong fruit and transport it to the capital. The Queen In the past few months when I was pregnant, my expenses were not that big. But when I was not pregnant, I had to make purchases every month."
Just when Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, wanted to continue talking, Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, became impatient. On the surface, he didn't look angry, but he was already very disgusted in his heart. He said: "Okay. Okay, let’s talk so much and do more.”
After speaking, seeing that Cen Wenxing stopped saying anything, Left Prime Minister Su Yunqi continued: "Just tell me, how much money is left in the treasury?"
"There are still five thousand eight hundred taels." Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, told the truth.
After hearing this, Su Yunqi was shocked: "What? Only 5,800 taels of silver are left so soon? When I asked some time ago, wasn't there still more than 20 million taels of silver? Has anyone taken this kickback?"
Seeing Prime Minister Zuo's disbelief, Cen Wenxing said honestly: "Prime Minister Zuo, we stopped the matter of the mausoleum the year before last. Now that the Holy Father is asking about the mausoleum, we officials dare not not do it. Also, , this time Queen."
When the queen was mentioned, Su Yunqi looked at Cen Wenxing and said, "Okay, let's think of something else."
Seeing the Prime Minister Zuo's face becoming more and more sad, the three ministers standing in front of them didn't dare to ask anything. They were like children who made mistakes, lowering their heads and saying nothing.
Su Yunqi sighed, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, looked at the three silent people in front of him, and said, "Is there any other way?"
When he asked, no one answered, so Su Yunqi had no choice but to ask Du Antong, the governor: "Do you have any other ideas?"
The Grand Governor said nothing and shook his head.
Think about the troublesome people in Guangnan, and then think about it

His eldest daughter was in this palace. Seeing that none of the three people in front of him could do anything, Su Yunqi was really angry. He looked at Du Antong and said: "No matter what, you have to give me this method." I'll give you three days to figure it out. If you can't figure it out, go back to your hometown early."
Upon hearing this, Governor Du Antong became nervous. This kind of nervousness he thought could outweigh the tension of the war. He carefully raised his head and looked at the left prime minister Su Yunqi in front of him. He saw Su Yunqi's two After the angry look, Du Antong was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and responded: "Yes, yes."
If Gui Yuanwei was still serving as Minister of War, maybe he would not be like this now. Now that he is gone, the court has almost become Su Yunqi's people. As a villain, Du Andong has many thoughts in his heart. Nervous.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Looking at the three people in front of him, Su Yunqi couldn't stand it anymore: "Okay, let's go back and do our own things."
"I am resigning."
"I am resigning."
"I am resigning."
The three of them walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion after talking to each other and bowing.
At this time, Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, was sitting on this chair. For some reason, the more he sat, the more uncomfortable he became. I don't know if there was something wrong with the chair or with his own body.
After walking out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the three people finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Cen Wenxing and Su Yunqi were in-laws, in the many years since they became in-laws, the only people who had brought benefits to Su Yunqi were Cen Wenxing's people.
If you think about it carefully, not long after the death of the late emperor, Su Yunqi's daughter was the queen. At that time, Su Yunqi was still the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the emperor was still in charge. Why did Su Yunqi want to marry the Cen family? It's not just to gain more popularity, so as to pave the way for promotion and wealth.
After so many years, Su Yunqi's wish has now been fulfilled. Although he is still his in-laws, what if one day Su Yunqi can't bear it anymore and has his official position removed?
The emperor is not in charge of the government, and the current government is entirely in the hands of these two people. Can Cen Wenxing not panic in his heart?
"Captain Du," Cen Wenxing said.
After hearing this, Governor Du Antong turned his head and looked at Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs.
"Have you thought about this method?" Cen Wenxing asked.
Du Antong sighed and said what he had been thinking about since he walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion: "There is a way, but now that the national treasury is short of money, it is naturally not feasible to mobilize the main forces of the three provinces. But if we use these provinces Will the governor's troops be mobilized to suppress this group of unruly people, will this be effective?"
Listening to Du Antong's words, Cen Wenxing smiled slightly: "This military thing is not feasible for Cen." After saying that, Cen Wenxing looked at his son Cen Anze who was standing aside: "Anze, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War. This military matter Naturally, you should know something about it, please give Du Du a review and see if it can work?"
Seeing his father's gaze, and then looking at Du Dudu's gaze, after thinking for a moment, Cen Anze, the Minister of War, asked: "Dudu Du, how many governors are there in each province?"
After listening to the question from the Minister of War, Du Antong, who wanted to keep his official position, thought for a moment and said: "There are more than 3,000 people in Nanyue, more than 3,000 people in Mozhang, more than 4,000 people in Huguang, and 5,000 people in Jianglai. There are more than 2,000 people in Nanyu, so the total number is close to 20,000."
"In this way, this silver can
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Is it enough? "Cen Anze was worried.
Du Andong thought for a while, thinking about the silver mentioned by Cen Shangshu just now, and said: "It should be just enough, just enough. The army here only needs to be given some silver and a few pancakes, as long as they don't starve to death. If The strength of the main force of the three provinces is not enough. We have practiced this stuff in the military camp a lot. Who can bear it if we have to fight a battle and still have to fight on our stomachs."
Listening to Du Antong's words, which seemed to make sense, Cen Anze said: "Perhaps this is the best way at the moment."
Dudu nodded: "Indeed."
Seeing that the two of them had reached an agreement, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, said with a smile on his face: "Now that we have figured out this method, why don't we go tell the left minister?"
After listening to Cen Shangshu's words and looking at his smiling face, Du Antong smiled slightly: "No rush, no rush. He didn't ask me to come up with a solution within three days. It took less than half an hour. No rush. , wait until the last minute.”
Looking at Du Antong's smile, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, understood what Du Antong meant and smiled.
Thinking that his eldest daughter was living a good life in this harem without any worries, Su Yunqi felt a little envious in his heart.
Thinking about how his eldest daughter Su Wanyue was lavishly spending money in the harem, Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, walked towards the harem at the time of Shen Shi, heading towards Kunning Palace where his eldest daughter Su Wanyue was.
It seems that since the eldest daughter Su Wanyue entered the palace, she has only seen her two or three times a year, and in the worst period, she has not seen her once.
After learning that the abbot had arrived, the queen's maid, Xiang Yue, hurried to report the arrival.
At this time, Queen Su Wanyue was sitting by the couch, holding the little princess who had just given birth a few days ago in her hands and coaxing her.
"Empress, the father-in-law is here." The maid Xiangjie said.
After learning about it, the queen was a little surprised and asked: "Why is he here?"
Xiangjie shook his head and stood there without saying a word.
The queen didn't give any orders, she walked out with the child in her arms and headed to the other side where her own flowers and plants were planted.
The Kunning Palace is divided into several parts. One part is where the Queen rests, one part is used to listen to opera, and another part is where the Queen plants flowers and plants, and the rest is used for miscellaneous purposes.
Most of these flowers and plants were carefully taken care of by the queen when she was bored.
With these flowers and plants, when you stay in Kunning Palace, you can smell the fragrance of these flowers and plants even without wearing a sachet.
As soon as she sat down, holding the sleeping princess in her arms, the queen looked up and saw her father Su Yunqi walking into the palace with an expressionless face.
Seeing such an appearance, the queen still felt a little resentful in her heart.
"Your life is really good." Su Yunqi smirked.
Seeing her father's smiling face, Queen Su Wanyue said expressionlessly: "Father, just tell me what you want to say. I'm not used to seeing this face of yours."
Before he could say anything, Su Yunqi found a chair and sat down. He looked at the maid Xiangjie and said, "Go down first. If the emperor comes, let me know."
After hearing this, the maid Xiang Yue looked at the Queen on the side. After seeing that the Queen didn't say anything, she responded: "Yes."
