Nodding silently, the matter has come to this, a big mistake has been made, there is no point in looking forward, we can only take one step and see one step at a time.

"You are under greater pressure than me," Zhang Shan said. "Next, you will not only have to find ways to raise money and food for the court, but you will also have to fight against Japanese pirates and protect the dragon veins and earthly branches. You really have no skills at all."

"Don't worry, brother, I can hold on." He nodded seriously.

Zhang Shanyan couldn't tell that he was trying to keep himself up, "You have to hold on even if you can't hold on. I'll leave the affairs here to you. I have to rush back as soon as possible to clean up the mess in Hanzhong."

"Brother, you must take more care of us," he said. "You and the new army under your command are the last hope of the Tang Dynasty. If you have any shortcomings, the Tang Dynasty will be really doomed."

Zhang Shan nodded, "Okay, don't send it away, go back. I will take the matter of Yuqingzong to heart. Once there are clues, I will try to inform you."

"Okay, how did you get here?" asked.

"White Crane is in the west of the city." Zhang Shan said casually.

Hearing Zhang Shan's words, he nodded happily. The white cranes in Longhu Mountain were originally a pair. The female crane encountered an accident in Tangzi Mountain. In order to prevent the male crane from dying in love, Zhang Mo entrusted him to bury the female crane properly so that the male crane could not find the scent.

Finding the body of the female crane seems to be effective so far. Although the male crane cannot see the female crane, he cannot be sure of her life or death and will not commit suicide in a short period of time.

While the two were talking, they came to the west gate of the palace. The guard knew the two and saw them arriving and hurriedly opened the palace gate.

"Go back," Zhang Shan waved his hand again, "The war in Hanzhong is difficult to end in a short time. If you have time, go to Hanzhong and exchange news with me."

He nodded in agreement and watched Zhang Shan leave the palace. Zhang Shan, his uncle, really had nothing to say to him. Before leaving, he did not forget to leave him a reason and excuse to visit Zhang Mo.

After Zhang Shan left the palace, he immediately rushed back to the inner city of the palace, found the guard general on duty, and led him to the inner prison.

The false emperor was imprisoned here, by

Datou and Yu Yi interrogated him in person. When they arrived, Datou and Yu Yi were sitting in the prison room outside the prison cell having dinner.

He dismissed the other people in the class room, sat down, picked up a snack from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, "Is the trial over?"

"The trial is over." Datou took out a confession from his arms and handed it to him.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then took the confession and read it quickly. The fake emperor was not a Japanese pirate, but a Chang'an scholar who had failed many times. Because he looked exactly like the emperor, he was spotted by Zhu Quanzhong and kept him in his mansion.

Later, he hired a doctor who was proficient in the art of disguise to perform plastic surgery to change his appearance and voice, so that he could look real.

Although this person pretends to be the emperor, he does not know too many secrets, because this person is just a tool and has no access to core secrets. Everything he does is also under Zhu Quanzhong's instructions. As for the relationship between Zhu Quanzhong and Sun Ru, Zhu Quanzhong

It is not known to what extent he colluded with the Japanese pirates.

The entire confession mainly records what this person did after he became emperor. In fact, he does not need to explain these things. They are recorded in the official documents of the three provinces and six ministries. In addition, which concubines he slept with are recorded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It was also mentioned in the book. It must have been Datou who was tortured. This person explained all the details. When he went there, when he left, and how he did it, he explained everything clearly.

After reading the confession, he frowned and didn't speak for a long time.

"This guy can't run around pretending to be an emperor. He can only harm the concubines when he has nothing to do." Datou said casually.

"If this confession is handed over, where will you put the emperor's face?" He glanced at the big head.

Datou smiled bitterly and scratched his head, "That's right, this guy was a prostitute to the emperor, and he almost caused trouble to the concubines in the harem."

Without answering, he took the confession and lit it close to the oil lamp, "You guys

Don’t stay here anymore, follow me to the apse.”

"Your Majesty, what should I do with this guy?" Datou looked towards the cell.

"What do you think we should do?" He glanced at the big head again.

"Forget it, just treat him as if he committed suicide out of fear of crime." Datou said.

"What's wrong with committing suicide out of fear of crime? Wouldn't it be easier for him to commit suicide out of fear of crime?" He frowned and shook his head, "I just said that this person refused to confess, so you two tortured him severely, using all the torture instruments. In the end, he was covered with bruises and was beaten to death."

"Yes, yes, that's how the emperor feels relieved." Datou nodded repeatedly.

He picked up another snack from the plate and said, "Yu Yi and I will wait for you outside."

He and Yu Yi left first. After a while, Da Tou came out and nodded.

Without answering, he led the two of them out of the inner prison.

When he reached a deserted place, he looked at Yu Yi and said, "Datou and I are waiting for you here. Go and come back as soon as possible."

Yu Yi didn't say much and left immediately.

As soon as Yu left, Datou asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, when shall we leave?"

"Where are you going?" he asked casually.

The big head points to the northeast.

"How can we leave with such a bear?" He felt like crying. The money and food for the Ministry of Revenue was saved by his hard work when he was in office. They ransacked homes and extorted money. The bad guys were completely fooled. The Ni family left

A lot of businesses have also been invested in it, and now everyone can enjoy it all at once.

Datou was very worried, "We finally lured the Japanese pirates back and regained the opportunity. If we were delayed in Chang'an for too long, wouldn't our previous work have been in vain?"

No answer.

"Whoever gets into trouble will have his own fault, we don't care about this shit." Da Tou said angrily.

"How do you want him to wipe it?" He raised his hand to his forehead.

"Then how can we wipe it?"

The boss had been in charge of the Ni family's property before, and he knew what he was thinking, "We have thought of all the tricks we can think of, and we have dug and saved so much to get so much of the family's assets. It's good. As soon as the front foot left, the back foot was ruined by them."

.”

"Don't we still have some property in Chang'an? We've sold everything we can," he said casually.

"How much money is that?" Big Head said worriedly.

He also knew that the little money was just a drop in the bucket, but he had thought of all the ways he could think of and done everything he could, but now he really couldn't think of where else to raise more money.

Datou also knew that he was anxious, and he was eager to share his worries. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Your Majesty, if it really doesn't work, we can only shamelessly borrow more from Mr. Ni."

"I can't open my mouth." Shaking his head, Ni Zuo's family moved to the Western Regions and left their hometown. Money was their only reliance and the foundation for their livelihood.

"How about we follow Cao Cao's example?" Datou asked again.

"Dig graves and fill them with military pay?" he asked rhetorically.

Datou didn't answer the call and just took it as his default.

"No, no, this will seriously harm your moral integrity and is really a bad idea." He shook his head and rejected it.

"How about we capture Jianghuai as soon as possible. Jianghuai has always been a prosperous place. Sun Ru will definitely not be short of money and food." Datou offered advice again.

"Have you never been to Jianghuai? The city is high and the generals are vast. How easy is it to conquer Jianghuai?" He shook his head again.

"Then go and beat Zhu Quanzhong," Datou said again, "Since we have already broken our skin, we are not afraid that he will rebel again."

"Do you know how many soldiers Zhu Quanzhong has?" He raised two fingers and said, "It's a full two hundred thousand. Now that he has received a large amount of silver from the Ministry of Revenue, he is the most difficult person to deal with right now."

Datou smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "Then what do you think we should do? Where can we get money? All the corrupt officials who can copy have copied, and there is no more money to be squeezed out of the officials."
