Chapter 672: The Last Grass

The beginning of Xihe was always late. Song Xia agreed that the three sides had already begun to abolish border troops, but the abolition was just a matter of course. According to Zhao Ji's intention, he just retreated a hundred miles and made a friendly attitude. The defense should not be relaxed.

In addition to this, the officials in charge of the trade were also appointed to discuss with Xixia. It was both a trade and a deal with Tong Guan. There were some things that the border troops did not cooperate with, and it was not easy to deal with.

Therefore, Tong Guan's desk was filled with official documents, and he transformed from a military officer to a civil servant. Fortunately, he was extremely energetic and never delayed. He would give convenience to those who could be convenient, and would also give the pen to indicate the truth if he was not convenient.

By noon, Tong Guan was already a little tired. When he was running around, his stomach felt a little painful. Today, I don’t know if he had been sitting for too long, but he started to feel uncomfortable. His family asked him if he went to use lunch. He only drank a bowl of porridge and sat on the Taishi chair to cover his stomach to nourish his spirit.

After more than ten years of vocational rank, he had irregular diet, looked burly, and left many hidden diseases. Fortunately, he was in a good mood at this time, and today, he has to admire his own vision.

It was at this time that someone hurried in and said, "Grandpa Tong, the new urgent report came from Xinghua Army. Three horses were sent to death before they were delivered in time."

Tong Guan immediately cheered up his spirits. Xinghua Army, this place involved two people, and neither of them could be easily provoked. The Taishi's hometown was in the Xinghua Army. Shen Ao once mobilized the navy troops there to quell the rebellion. Although it was an inconspicuous place, it was hidden dragons and clenched tigers.

"Take it." Although I was eager to know the content of the urgent report, Tong Guan took the urgent report and slowly uncovered the sealing mud, carefully took out the letter cover, then lit some saliva and took out the letter paper.

Duan Hai, the Xinghua Army, was confused and searched for a while. He really didn't know this person. What did he do when he wrote a letter? He continued to read, but was so scared that he was so scared that he was out of his mind.

The wrongfulness is really a huge wrongfulness. It turns out that my home has been walking in front of the Hall of Hell.

Tong Hu hides the imperial offender, deceives the emperor and disrespects the order. What kind of nephew is Tong Guan knows that it is impossible to do such things. Besides, isn’t Tong Hu in Bianjing?

Looking at the back, Tong Guan's face suddenly changed, and a lightning shot out from his eyes, and his whole body became murderous. It turned out that Cai Dan said this, or was it true that he was confident and swearing.

Tong Guan read the letter carefully three times before he stood up slowly. With his cleverness, he immediately clarified the relationship inside. Why did the imperial edict suddenly arrive at Xinghua Army and why did he take Cai Jian? It was probably because Shen Ao had already made any moves. Perhaps Tong Hu was instigated by Shen Ao, what was Shen Ao going to do? Or would the Cai family still bit him?

Tong Guan smiled and knew in his heart that King Pingxi was forcing himself to stand in a row. Tong Hu was holding his own hands in the hands of King Pingxi. If his family was on the wall, the Cai family would definitely bit Tong Hu to death. No matter what, they would have to take the charge. King Pingxi, when he recovered, he would definitely have to deal with his own family.

How easy is it to please both sides and take advantage of opportunities?

Tong Guan was silent for a moment and said, "Call Li Tao."

After saying that, Tong Guan sat on the chair with a blank expression on his face. After a while, a man covered in armor rushed over, looked at Tong Guan with a respectful look, and knelt down and said, "Godfather."

Tong Guan smiled faintly and said, "Come on, sit down and talk. Are you doing well in the camp recently?"

Li Tao said excitedly: "Godfather, the war has stopped now. Apart from practicing, what else can I do if I release the scout routinely? I just heard that I had to change my defenses and retreated to Wuxing. My brothers were all dressing up and they had no intention of practicing."

Tong Guan took a sip of tea and smiled, "This is common sense. It's better to let them take a break, but... there's one thing you want to do."

Li Tao said seriously: "Please give me instructions to you."

Tong Guan held the teacup and said word by word: "Have you paid the money and food last month?"

Li Tao was stunned for a moment: "All allocated, why?"

Tong Guan smiled and said, "How much is the salary?"

Li Tao said: "It's still the same rule, it's still 70%."

A trace of cunning flashed in Tong Guan's eyes. This is a rule for a hundred years. The Ministry of War must first deduct 30% of the money and grains to allocate, and then send the rest to the border town. In fact, the border town is quite good. If it were other places, it would be great to have a 50% chance. Everyone knows this kind of thing and has already had a tacit understanding. Anyway, they are all fooling around. As long as the palace doesn't know, it's not a big deal.

Tong Guan said lightly: "What should the soldiers eat for 70% of the salary? The Ministry of War has eaten so many benefits from our border town. It is time to ask the soldiers to make a fuss. Let the soldiers make a fuss, not make a fuss. Others just think we are sick tigers. Go back and give everyone instructions, mutiny, and make some noise. Just say that the Ministry of War repeatedly deducts military salary, and the soldiers are suffering, and they are not full at home, and their wives and children are hungry. Why should they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?"

Li Tao was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this... not custom?"

Tong Guan blew away the tea foam and raised his head: "This rule needs to be changed. Go, remember to be a little bit sensible and don't hurt people. After the trouble, I'll ask people to go and suppress them. You should stop when it's time to stop."

Li Qing had no choice but to go in confusion.

Tong Guan put down the teacup, took out a sign carefully to sow several wicks on oil lamps on the table, and gently flicked it. The light immediately lit up. Then he ordered the people outside: "Come on the pen and ink, and the miscellaneous family members should submit memorials."

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The urgent reports from the border must not be neglected. The stations along the way can be replaced with people and horses, and they will be resolutely working day and night. It took only two or three days to arrive in Bianjing.

Mutiny in the border town is also a common thing. It sounds scary to the common people, but anyone who knows the details in the court knows that this mutiny is divided into two types: one is true and the other is false. The false is nothing more than some things. The bosses in the border are not easy to say, and they say it through the mouths of the mutiny soldiers, which is quite a bit of a sense of self-respecting. However, as long as there is no big mess, the demands are not excessive, and no one will pay attention to it.

As a martial artist, isn’t it all like this? I’ll just be convinced by giving me some sweetness.

But this time it is different. The reason for the mutiny is that the Ministry of War deducts military pay. As long as there are connections, they can't help but reach out. Not only does it take forever, but the Ministry of War also needs it. It is not only the Privy Council, but also the Ministry of War. It is not clear that there are subordinates, the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Secretary of the State. Everyone has a share, and there are common rules. Who gives more gifts every month, which company gives less gifts, which company gets promoted, should add more, which company is finished, and asks for money? Get out of the way and play with mud.

Not only are there a fixed rule, but there are special people who are in charge of it, but they are the chief clerk of the Ministry of War. Although there is no need to keep accounts of this thing, everyone has an account book in their hearts, and everyone knows it. New and old parties have it. For big pots, fighting for power is fighting for power. You can't smash the pot because of this. If you really encounter someone who is not open-minded, you dare to play with clean and honesty. No one of them is a vegetarian. If you slapped a few slaps, you will be honest.

The Ministry of War will leave 30% first. Not only the Minister of War will be divided into one, but the others will be well-known to the Jingli boss and the various yamen. After sending it out, there will be a fortune. There will be roughly one. When you arrive at the border town, you will have to leave one more part. Finally, you will get to the hands of the big head soldiers. Only God knows how much you can have, anyway, you must not miss your own.

This memorial was about to be a mutiny this time, but no one dared to say anything at this time. The entire capital was surprisingly silent. Not to mention that the people who broke the pot were mostly Eunuch Tong Guantong. If they dared to break the pot, they would not be afraid that you would stand up and make noise. Moreover, at this critical moment, there was a sudden outrage, and everyone knew that the King of Pingxi was about to end, and the last straw that bent the Cai family was coming.

In Wenjing Pavilion, Zhao Ji was furious and threw the memorial to the ground, roaring: "Issue an order, go and ask, ask Cai Tao, how much money and grain he has deducted, 30% of the money and grain, his appetite is really great. If you go and ask, you can't answer it. Dali Temple will get people, bastards, bastards!"

Although many people outside the palace knew what was described in this memorial, Zhao Ji was really venting the cold air for the first time when he saw it. No matter what, he never expected that someone was so bold and greedy to the frontiers. Fortunately, Tong Guan stopped it in time, otherwise the consequences would be more than unimaginable.

Yang Jian stood aside, secretly praising Tong Guan in his heart, and gave another chess move to the Cai family; Cai Tao had no way out.

If Cai Tao confessed his guilt, with Zhao Ji's disgust of the Cai family at this time, the servants of Dali Temple would probably go to Quanzhou to get people immediately. But if Cai Tao denies it, saying that this is the customization of the Ministry of War and a rule for a hundred years. He is not the only one who takes the money, what will happen? This is equivalent to putting everyone in water. How many people eat the blood of the soldiers? Anyway, no matter how many people are, the six ministers, the six courts and nine ministers, he dares to pull everyone into the water. It would be fine when Cai Jing was in power in the past, but at the moment, no matter how much he is a new party and the old party, I am afraid that he will fight with him at this time.

What's more, the wall is falling and everyone pushes it. No matter what choice Cai Tao makes, he will be dead.

Before Zhao Ji's anger was gone, he said coldly: "Go and ask Shen Ao to enter the palace. I have something to say to him!"

Yang Jian did not dare to be negligent, nodded, and quickly called someone to call Shen Ao.

Recently, Shen Ao cultivated his body and cultivated his character. He posted a note at the door, saying Da Yinxi, which means that no one will be seen. The King of Pingxi wants to be a hermit and to thank guests in a closed door.

However, it couldn't be too late. I just entered the palace two days ago. Zhao Ji didn't say anything to him. I just asked some coldly how many disciples Cai Jing has. Shen Ao had only one answer: "Your Majesty, although the disciples of the Grand Master are all over the world, these people can also fight back for their lives for their own sake."

With this sentence, Zhao Ji felt relieved. Chen Ao also completed the task and hurried out of the palace. Today, someone came from the palace, and Chen Ao entered the palace again. Chen Ao said nothing, and did not change the court uniform, so he tied a jade fish bag and went out excitedly.

When he arrived at the palace, he suppressed the Shangfang sword on his waist with great might. He was very powerful. Chen Ao is the only one who can bring a sword into the palace in the world, so of course he should be more eye-catching.

When the guards at the door saw him, they bowed and bowed. If it were the past, even Cai Jing would have used wooden stakes. This was clearer. Everyone was indignant and wanted to work together with Shen Ao.

The border troops, imperial guards, old party, and eunuchs in the palace were entangled and formed an unprecedented political force. Although Chen Ao was tacit with them, he became the leader of this force at this time.

Chen Ao passed the door hole and passed by. He immediately saw Yang Bier waving to him. Yang Bier was already familiar with him. Chen Ao walked over casually and said with a smile: "Little Eunuch Yang, why, your godfather has something to tell me again?"

Yang Bier smiled and said, "My godfather is with Your Majesty in Wenjing Pavilion, and she can't walk away, so she just asked me to bring a word."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "You said."

Yang Bier said seriously: "The big thing has been decided!"

Chen Ao's eyes flashed, and he showed a seemingly nonsense smile: "In a few days, we will come to the mansion to sit down. We are our own people, so we should be close to each other when we have time." This time, we didn't use the money to reward people, and for people like Yang Bier, the reward seemed to be apart. Chen Ao thought to himself, this guy is actually quite promising.

Then he smiled faintly and continued to move forward. The atmosphere in the palace seemed a little nervous, but Chen Ao was calm. When he arrived at Wenjing Pavilion, he said loudly: "I am the one who is Chen Ao."
