In Dayan, Su Ye's intelligence station rose rapidly like an emerging force.
and plays an increasingly important role in national political life.
The development momentum of this force made Chen Mu, the assistant minister who had been secretly obstructing it, extremely angry.
He knew that due to Su Ye's appearance, his influence in the government was gradually weakening.
This situation made him feel even more stressed, so he began to look for opportunities in an attempt to weaken Su Ye's position.
At this time, Chen Mu's family was deserted.
None of the staff dared to speak.
Just at this time, a confidant offered Chen Mu a plan:
"Sir, due to the recent strain on the national treasury, the issue of pensions for many soldiers who died in battle has not been properly resolved."
"This is a difficult problem, but if this problem is left to Su Ye to solve."
"It can not only put him in trouble, but also take this opportunity to weaken his position in the government."
When Chen Mu heard this, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
Pensions for soldiers who died in battle were the responsibility of the auxiliary minister.
If he raised it in front of the Empress, he would undoubtedly injure the enemy by a thousand and himself at a loss of eight hundred.
However, Chen Mu too wanted to pull Su Ye down.
He is fully aware of the viciousness of this strategy, but he also understands that this is the most beneficial method for him under the current situation.
So, he decided to adopt this suggestion.
Chen Mu began to deploy secretly.
He first arranged for his confidants to spread negative news about pensions and anger the families of soldiers who died in the war.
Suddenly, in the court, impeachment memorials regarding pensions came from all directions, and the situation became serious.
Then, the most crucial move was to lure Su Ye into the trap!
In the morning of the next day, Chen Mu stood in the court hall and asked seriously:
"Your Majesty, in recent days, there has been a lot of discussion between the government and the public about the issue of pensions for soldiers killed in battle."
"Wei Chen believes that this matter is related to the stability of the country and cannot be ignored."
When Yan Lichu heard this, he frowned and said:
"Is this true? Chen Mu, as the auxiliary minister, you should handle this matter properly. Why did you let the matter ferment to this point?"
Chen Mu lowered his head and said:
"Your Majesty, the sin of a humble minister deserves to be punished by death. However, this matter involves a tight national treasury, which the humble minister cannot bear alone. Please forgive me."
Then he turned his finger and pointed it directly at Su Ye:
"Prime Minister Su's intelligence station takes up too many treasury resources, and it is really impossible to have both!"
After speaking, Chen Mu looked like he was petitioning for the people, and he knelt down resolutely:
"Your Majesty, the soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country. Now the national treasury is empty and cannot comfort the spirits of the soldiers in heaven."
"Wouldn't it make all the soldiers feel chilly! Where is the face of the Yan Kingdom!"
Every word and every sentence is mocking Su Ye!
All the ministers also saw this perfect opportunity to accuse Su Ye, and they all followed his footsteps and knelt down to petition:
"The pension issue is related to the stability of the country. Your Majesty, we ask your Majesty to hand over the pension issue of the soldiers who died in the war to Prime Minister Su!"
Yan Lichu's gaze was like a torch, sweeping over the ministers, and finally landed on Su Ye.
She knew that if this issue was not handled well, there might be another turmoil in the court.
Once handed over to Su Ye, it will undoubtedly push him to the forefront.
However, she also understood that the predicament of the national treasury at this time was indeed the root of the problem of pensions for soldiers killed in battle.
Yan Lichu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Su Ye, do you know the seriousness of the issue of pensions for soldiers killed in battle?"
When Su Ye saw this posture, how could he not understand that this was an obvious plan against him?
Leave the thorny problems that Chen Mu can't solve to himself. If he can solve them, he can also be relieved of his responsibilities.
If it cannot be solved, Su Ye and his intelligence station plan can be defeated in one fell swoop.
What a good idea!
Su Ye looked calm and accepted everyone's gaze calmly.
He knew that this was a trap carefully designed by Chen Mu, but he was not afraid.
Su Ye, still dressed in white, stood up and spoke firmly:
"Your Majesty, I understand."
"The issue of soldiers' pensions is not only related to the stability of the country, but also related to the loyalty and sacrifice of the soldiers."
"I am willing to take on this important responsibility and do my best to solve this problem."
Yan Lichu nodded, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes:
"Okay, Su Ye, I will leave this problem to you. You must solve it as soon as possible so that the families of the soldiers who died in the battle can get the comfort they deserve."
In this short period of time, Su Ye had already thought of a countermeasure:
"Your Majesty, there is a group of criminal robbers on the border of Dayan, called the Golden Bandits. They often harass people's caravans, causing trade to be blocked."
"If we can wipe out these criminal gangs, we will not only maintain national security, but also take this opportunity to raise some funds to solve the pension issue for soldiers who died in war."
When Yan Lichu heard this, he frowned slightly:
"Su Ye, the Golden Bandit Gang is extremely vicious and very familiar with the local terrain. It will not be easy to destroy them."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have already deployed a detailed plan to suppress the bandits. As long as your Majesty approves it, I promise to wipe out the Golden Bandit Gang in a short time."
Su Ye said confidently.
Chen Mu's cold eyes came from behind, and he was surprised that Su Ye agreed so quickly.
I'm afraid it's just a slap in the face to make someone fat. In that case, let's add more fuel to the fire.
Chen Mu took a step forward and interjected:
"Your Majesty, I believe in Prime Minister Su's ability. Prime Minister Su was known as the God of War in White when he was in the Chu Kingdom. He never failed. This Lao Shizi Golden Bandit Gang must not be a problem. I think that a few thousand cavalry can suppress the bandits!"
Wearing a high hat and preventing Su Ye from getting off stage, Chen Mu's insidious intentions were undoubtedly revealed.
Yan Lichu's eyes flickered, he glanced at Su Ye thoughtfully, and then turned to Chen Mu:
"Chen Qing, you admire Prime Minister Su so much, aren't you afraid of putting too much pressure on him?"
A trace of pride flashed in Chen Mu's eyes:
"Your Majesty shows your concern, and I am deeply grateful. However, this matter is related to the stability of the country. Since Su Ye has taken the initiative to ask for help, I believe he will be able to do the job."
Yan Lichu withdrew his gaze and said to Su Ye:
"Su Ye, what do you think?"
Su Ye glanced at Chen Mu with a smile, and then said:
"Your Majesty, since Mr. Chen Mu trusts me so much, I would be disrespectful. There is no need for thousands, three thousand is enough!"
As soon as Su Ye finished speaking, there was an uproar in the court.
This Su Ye's tone is quite serious.
Three thousand soldiers and horses are fighting against the increasingly rampant Golden Bandit Gang. This is undoubtedly a tough battle!
Yan Lichu looked at Su Ye with a hint of admiration in her eyes. She believed that Su Ye would be able to do the job.
"Okay, Su Ye, I will let you have three thousand soldiers and horses to destroy the Golden Bandit Gang!"
"I will live up to my mission!"
Su Ye accepted the order and nodded solemnly.
Only Chen Mu looked at Su Ye with a look of gloating.
What about Su Ye in white? She felt so happy after just holding it in her hand.
I want to see how miserable you will be if you fall!
