I am not Song Qinzong

After hearing Wei Yong's report, Zhao Huan's face was very ugly.

The army suppressed the thieves, originally to stabilize the place, but the thieves hadn't been seen yet, and the place was already corrupted.

"Your Highness, is this matter to be followed by officials to restrain Gao Qiu?" Wei Yong asked.

"It's useless." Luo Congyan sighed.

"That's right, Gao Qiu's family is in full swing, and the third elder brother is serving as the supervisor of the army, how can he issue an order to punish him?" Zhao Huan said.

Wei Yong was silent.

He is engaged in intelligence, so he naturally knows the truth inside.

First of all, Gao Qiu is a favored minister, and King Yun is his beloved son. Zhao Ji is absolutely unwilling to punish him.

The most important thing is that everyone does not have high requirements for the character of generals.

For the general, as long as he can win, it doesn't matter whether his military discipline is corrupt or strict.

Even the military generals that the imperial court wished to fight were all greedy for money.

For example, Xiao He and Guo Ziyi are people with outstanding abilities and contributions to the world. For their own safety, they all smear themselves by amassing money.

This leaves an impression on everyone, but all generals who love money are reliable.

That's why there is a saying that "civilian officials don't love money, and military commanders don't fear death, then the world will be peaceful."

"If you don't move, you will be killed, and if you move, you will be thunderous!" Luo Congyan said: "When Gao Qiu suffers repeated setbacks, and then report this matter together, the officials will definitely punish him when they are furious."

Zhao Huan nodded his head, which was regarded as his approval of this suggestion.

Originally, he planned this way too. As for the people who died, they can only be wronged for a while.

"Report~Jeju battle report." There was a message from a pigeon messenger outside the house.

Donggong also raised some pigeons to deliver news.

Due to many restrictions and short time, only Jeju, Fangzhou, Taiyuan, and Hangzhou have set up pigeon lofts.

The pigeon envoy came in and handed over a small piece of paper.

The content on the piece of paper: "The forward of the army was attacked, and Jing Zhong and Chen Zhu were killed."

After giving the paper to someone else, Zhao Huan said with a smile, "Liang Shan still has abilities. If Gao Qiu doesn't have a good plan, he might not be able to get away with his body."

"It's just right, when the killed guy throws away his helmet and armor, and Donggong takes over the military power, my sister and I can also go into battle." Zhu Fengying said happily.

"I can go, but you probably can't." Liang Hongyu said leisurely.

"Why, I am the deputy commander of the women's battalion, and the women's battalion must go, how can I not go?" Zhu Fengying protested.

"Just because you are still young, you are not proficient in martial arts, and you don't know anything about military strategy!" Liang Hongyu attacked mercilessly.

Zhu Fengying didn't care, just hugged Zhao Huan's arm, and shook, "Brother-in-law, you must let me fight, right?"

"It must not be!" Zhao Huan mercilessly rejected his sister-in-law's cuteness.

Liang Hongyu is proficient in martial arts and well-managed the army. It is natural to lead the army in battle. How talented is Zhu Fengying?

Only ten years old!

Donggong is not empty, how can she be allowed to fight.

Knowing that she had no chance to fight, Zhu Fengying rolled her eyes, shook off Zhao Huan's arm, and said: "If you don't go, you don't go, who cares!

Just last month, my father sent me a letter asking me to go back, so I went back for a walk, and came back after I had practiced my real skills. "

Years ago, Uncle Zhu came to the East Palace to pay New Year's greetings, and wanted to take Zhu Fengying back with him, but he didn't think she would disagree at all.

After January of the new year, she sent a letter urging Zhu Fengying to go back, but she just pretended not to see it.

At this time, he suddenly said that he wanted to go back, and he must have his own little abacus.

Zhao Huan would not let her succeed, he said: "It's really dangerous to go back and run away from home, so stay in the East Palace. If I lead the army to go out, you will just protect Lian'er."

"Ah?" Zhu Fengying was immediately dumbfounded.

Seeing his embarrassment, everyone couldn't stop laughing.

"Hmph, you will bully me!" Zhu Fengying left angrily.

Just as my sister-in-law left, Hu Yue came in.

Seeing his serious face, Zhao Huan asked: "But what's the problem in the palace?"

"Your Highness." Hu Yue bowed, "East Palace, I'm almost out of money."

"Are you running out of money?" Zhao Huan was shocked.

"A year ago, His Highness brought back a million guan from Suzhou, as well as buying and selling soap, Longquan wine, etc. How come there is no money?" Luo Congyan asked.

Hu Yue showed a wry smile, and said: "Your Highness brought back a lot of money, but there are more places to spend it."

Buying horses to build cannons and guns directly used up the money the prince brought back from the southeast.

There are many officers, soldiers, generals and handyman craftsmen in the East Palace, and their monthly salary is almost [-] guan, which is quite a lot.

In addition, because of Ma Ping's suggestion, two new whaling ships were opened on Salmon Island, which cost another 20 yuan.

Food and clothing for soldiers is also a huge expense.

In addition, during the Chinese New Year, the crown prince rewarded the troops generously, and the cost was also not small.

"Currently, the East Palace only has 15 coins. If you cry, there is no new income, and I'm afraid it will be used in less than two months." Hu Yue said.

Zhao Huan tapped his fingers on the armrest and thought about it.

"Your Highness, the East Palace is struggling financially, so I have to be willing to cut my salary to help the great cause!" Luo Congyan bowed.

"That's right, I live and eat in the East Palace, and I usually have no expenses, so it's not a big problem to reduce my salary." Zhou Yunqing said.

"I hope Your Highness will allow it." Zhang Bofen said: "Your Highness is not happy to be a saint. The most important thing is to accumulate strength. My personal treatment is actually insignificant."

"Your Highness, please don't think about us, just reduce your salary to prepare for the future." Everyone bowed down in unison.

Zhao Huan was moved to see them all thinking about Donggong.

"What did Mr. Yuzhang say?" Zhao Huan helped him up and said, "Everyone get up and talk, let me think about it, there must be a good solution."
