Chapter 739

"Mali is thousands of miles away from my big man, and most of them are waterways. He rashly sends troops. If it's all there, how can the imperial court suppress all places? I don't think we can send troops."

This is the voice of Qian Qianyi, the Minister of rites. Among the ministers, he is the oldest and the oldest. He speaks quite old-fashioned.

Cao Hua's voice immediately sounded:

"Although Mali is a foreign land, it is not useless in China's Han Dynasty. Several skilled craftsmen from the ordnance mansion are no less than Taoist Zhenyuan in their attainments in making flying birds."

"If such talents are used for convenience, they will certainly bring a lot of trouble to China."

Cao Hua said slowly, in a gentle tone, but the reasons were all hidden needles.

Dong Cheng also spoke slowly:

"Not to mention anything else, Zhou Shangshu should also have an account of how many birds and crossbows he ordered from the * * machinery house of the Han Dynasty and how much money he earned for the Han Dynasty."

When Su Lu entered the imperial study, Zhou Yuanzheng said with a smile:

"I don't have any opinion about this. If your majesty wants to send troops, it will have the advantage of sending troops. Your majesty doesn't agree. Naturally, there is a reason not to send troops. Money is a small thing."

Behind the imperial case, Li Qingwei nodded imperceptibly. Zhou Yuan was a member and able official. Since he knocked, he was more and more comfortable to use. I can't complain that the LORD was willing to use him at the beginning.

When all the ministers saw Su Lu coming in, the sitting ministers immediately stood up and saluted Su Lu respectfully.

Su Lu waved his hand and motioned all the ministers to sit down. He took a stool and sat down. He asked:

"We have lost contact with the Malian army for a month. Has the Navy been sent?"

Cao Hua promised:

"When the urgent document arrived at the Navy stronghold, general Su Ping sent two warships to Mali. His majesty also issued an imperial edict an hour ago, ordering Su Ping to send two warships to lead the fleet to Mali."

Su Lu nodded:

"It's my mistake to be quick. Does the staff office have any countermeasures?"

Su Yun immediately said:

"Two sets of temporary strategies have been drawn up. With the imperial edict, our staff office is formulating the next strategy. Once the imperial court has made the strategy, it can be implemented immediately."

Su Lu then looked at Qian Qianyi sitting at the top:

"Lord Qian, what do you think of this?"

Qian Qianyi immediately stood up and bowed to Su Lu in a respectful manner:

"My Lord, I think it's good to send troops without sending troops. The national Dynasty guards all parts of the country. There has been a lot of loss of food and forage. There has been a shortage of food and forage in several border towns. If you send troops to Mali again."

The hidden meaning of Qian Qianyi's words is very obvious. There have been flames of war in the country in the past two years. If it goes on like this, whether it can lay a sharp foundation or not, I'm afraid even the border town will not be stable.

Su Lu nodded:

"Lord Qian's consideration is also reasonable. Before I get down to business today, I'll say something first. Today, during the day, I went to changpingcang. Someone secretly reported that changpingcang was seriously corrupt, and the grain and grass were cleaned by officials and warehouse soldiers."

Zhou Yuan, the Minister of the Ministry of household, was shocked by the spirit of Zhou Yuan. Although the major grain depots nominally belong to the Ministry of military, in fact, they are basically dominated by the Ministry of household in terms of official assignment and grain depot management.

Now something has happened to changpingcang. I can't get rid of it.

It's careless. Your majesty should have paid attention to it when he made the announcement. I didn't expect that the big Treasuries everywhere had been eroded so far.

Su Lu continued:

"I saw two big boxwood bows outside Changping warehouse. The troubled warehouse soldiers almost shot me with these two bows."

Li Qing's face looked ugly. He stepped out from behind the imperial case and looked nervously at Su Lu:

"Where did it hurt?"

"These warehouse soldiers and corrupt officials dare to hurt you. Damn it."

Su Lu patted Li Qing's hand and indicated that she was all right.

"I'm not hurt, but a forbidden guard fell under the long bow and his life and death are still uncertain. The boxwood bow was originally a standard weapon. Why can anyone hide it privately? The Ministry of war went back to me to find out how many people took these standard weapons for human favor."

Dong Cheng stood up and took over the task. It was no small matter that the standard weapons were left out. When Dong Cheng went back, he must pull out the past file questionnaire and carefully examine it. At that time, there will be another bloody storm between the Ministry of war and the ordnance government.

Zhou Yuan said with a sad face:

"My Lord, I'm guilty."

"The major grain depots are under the cross management of the Ministry of war and the Ministry of household. Although the minister is very concerned about the assignment of officials, he has not been careful about the control of officials. There is such a big mistake in the large depot. Huo Guang and Geng smart, who often close their positions, are the officials sent by the Ministry of household. The minister is to blame for his death."

Su Lu waved to Zhou Yuan to sit down and yelled:

"You Zhou Yuan became a minister for a few days. You don't know how many kilograms you have in the southeast and northwest."

"It's natural for you to punish the salary. You have a good big Treasury. You have become a place for corruption and bribery. In order to hide the evidence, you even have conspirators."

"And this Geng smart, who incited cangbing to rebel with officials and arranged a lot of detailed works from other countries among cangbing. You should cooperate with Dingxiang Wei to investigate this matter."

Zhou Yuan's face is whiter. It's over. He's even involved in rebellion.

Fortunately, I am the king's man.

Geng shrewdness is an official recommended by the Ministry of household. If he really gets angry, he will not escape the crime of negligence. Although the Lord drank and scolded himself, he also erased his fault for himself.

"I understand that when I go back, I will cooperate with governor Ding Weiping and governor Ye of the rebel army to carefully screen the dregs in the major warehouses. I will never be soft on those who dare to corrupt."

Li Qing has been looking at Su Lu's blood ideas. Although Su Lu was not injured this time, the guard was shot down, and Su Lu still splashed a lot of blood ideas.

Su Lu is not in good health. If he worries about the government, it will be even harder to get better. Today, he often closes his position and meets with rebellion. He must be haggard.

"That's it today. We'll discuss it tomorrow."

Li Qingfen told a group of courtiers.

All the ministers left one after another when they heard the speech. Su Lu was there. All the ministers felt quite uncomfortable, as if they were on the back. They dared not say the original impassioned retort, nor did they dare to tear up the party struggle in front of their majesty.

Just now, a perfect opportunity to criticize Zhou Yuan, a little lighter, can make Zhou Yuan's salary think behind closed doors, a little heavier, and even make Zhou Yuan's head unprotected. With a few light words from the Lord, he completely summarized this matter.

Too overbearing.

Several ministers thought angrily, but they didn't dare to show it in their face.

The ministers retreated. Li Qing held Su Luhui's bedroom and casually said his worries about his still agile daughter. They accompanied each other and walked slowly in the Yuehua palace.
