The sun fell on the room through the carved window and shone on the embroidered carpet on the ground. The golden silk thread glittered with a warm yellow light.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the yard, and then there was Li Qing's low inquiry at the door.
"The Lord is awake?"
Changning opened the curtain, looked into the room, saw Su Lu looking out of the window, and put down the curtain.
"Your Majesty, the Lord is awake."
Li Qing, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked in quickly. His cheeks were full of joy. When he reached the side of the bed, he caged his sleeves and sat down. Then he asked.
"How about sleeping well? Are you hungry?"
Su Lu touched his stomach: "I'm really a little hungry. By the way, how many people are there in the government and the public today? Are you trying to seize my military power?"
Li Qing glanced at Su Lu angrily and ordered Changning to say:
"Go and pass me some food. I'll eat everything with the Lord. I'm hungry to fight with these courtiers today."
Side G ā ozh ā N said with a smile: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and doesn't want to refute the face of the ministers. If the king is here, who dares to say no."
Nearby, Su Ge also said with a flat mouth: "Lord Yang is too quick to shirk his responsibility. The silver Treasury is the responsibility of the Ministry of household. Of course, losing the silver is the responsibility of the Ministry of household. On the contrary, it is the responsibility of the forbidden army. Grandpa Gao is right. He just sees that the prince is not in the Dynasty and bullies your majesty. You are kind-hearted."
Su Lu frowned and asked Li Qing:
"Why, the bank silver is lost, and the big bank silver is lost?"
Li sighed and said helplessly, "these days are not the routine inventory at the end of the year. Ding Yuwei's tentacles are getting deeper and deeper now. I think I can't find anything in previous years. Is it true that there is no favoritism in it, so I invited pingqi."
"I didn't expect Dingxiang Wei to find out something. As a rule, Jingxi Treasury should deposit 6.5 million taels of silver. I didn't expect that there are less than 3 million taels in the Treasury now, and the remaining 3.5 million taels have disappeared."
"No, it happened today. Yang Biao's opening is to shirk responsibility. Kubing and the forbidden army have no responsibility from his household department anyway. I'm really annoyed today."
The dishes cooked by the imperial chef came in and arranged in the bedroom.
Li Qing drove away the maid of honor, dressed Su Lu himself, watched Su Lu put on a bright yellow Python robe, and his cheeks were full of blushes.
"I haven't dressed you yet?"
Su Lu sat down at the table, picked up a cake and said, "eat first. Now the surroundings are stable. I don't have to go out to war in the future. I spend more days in the capital. You can dress me whenever you want."
Li Qing sat down next to Su Lu, took up the porridge bowl and took a sip, "eh, today the imperial chef has also grown, and the porridge is much sweeter."
Changning, who served Li Qing to eat next to him, smiled and said, "it's the Royal chef. It's your majesty. When you see the prince coming back, you know he doesn't have to go out of the capital again. It's just sweet in your heart."
Su Lu asked Li Qing and said, "when I came back from Beidi, I heard about the change in Liangzhou. Can Cao Hua have the latest military information back?"
Li Qing put down his bowl and watched Su Lu eat.
"Yesterday, a new military information was sent back. It was said that Emperor Qin ordered Chong Tong's army to go out of Moel city and want to attack hargay. Cao Huatong's army beat him back. The Qin army lost 6000 and Xiang Chong returned to Moel city again."
Li Qing took a sweet cake for Su Lu, stuffed it into Su Lu's hand, smiled and said:
"You female disciple, you really didn't live up to your expectations. The unified army is a good hand in the war. Xiang Chong is also a famous general of the Qin army. Relying on the natural danger of moele City, he stubbornly carried the attack of barbarians and Tibetans. On the contrary, he was hurt by the Qin army in the first World War by Cao Hua. The moele city is about to be destroyed."
Su Lu bit the sweet cake, and his tone was full of disdain: "Emperor Qin is very worried. He thinks that when the barbarians go with the Taixi people, he can recover his hometown. It's ridiculous. We can beat back the Taixi people, and it's just like playing with the remaining Qin army."
"What are you going to do about the big bank in Jingxi?"
Su Lu asked Li Qing.
Li Qing shook his head in distress. "I don't know. I've summoned pingqi just now. I think this boy should also be here. Dingxiang guard's hands are in deep ambush. I don't know if I can count on him this time."
While he was talking, the bodyguard outside came to inform him that he had arrived.
Su Lu waved his hand and motioned the bodyguard to let Ping Qi in.
Pingqi went into the bedroom, said hello to them and stood respectfully aside.
Su Lu asked, "there's a big library in the west of Beijing. Do you think the guards can find out some clues?"
Pingqi bowed his head: "don't hide it from the Lord, your majesty, I've been thinking about it these days, and all my Dingxiang guards have spread out to inquire about some clues. I didn't expect to find something."
"The grand Treasury in the west of Beijing is backed by the mountains, and there are no people in the wild. Only those officials who can enter the grand Treasury are those who follow the soldiers of the Treasury, as well as the officials of the Ministry of household inventory."
"I started with these people, used all kinds of means, and finally found some clues."
Li Qingxi looked happy. "Pingqi, what clues have you found? My love Qing, who cheated for personal gain and embezzled the Treasury?"
Pingqi glanced at Su Lu. "This man, the Lord, also dealt with last night. He is the road waiter of the Ministry of punishment."
"Is that him?"
Su Lu frowned. It was a coincidence. Last night, he thought that Lu Shilang was smart and capable and had a high standard of work. He didn't expect such a moth in the twinkling of an eye.
"Lu Shilang has a wife from a clan. Should he be forced to do these things?"
Li Qing asked. He had some doubts on his cheek. Lu Shilang was a good official. How could he steal kuyin? Besides, he didn't have a chance to contact kuyin.
Side G ā ozh ā N opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, if you remember well, Lu Shilang has risen from the post of treasurer in West Beijing."
Flush G ā ozh ā N stretched out his thumb: "Grandpa Gao is powerful. He still remembers things so clearly many years ago. Yes, Lu Shilang was the head of the West Beijing Treasury ten years ago. If he wants to fight the Treasury silver, he has some means."
"According to the information that the minister inquired, Lu Shilang made friends with a group of mysterious people. It should be the hands of these mysterious people on kuyin. Specifically, how to move kuyin. When the silver in the large warehouse is checked clearly, there should be an eyebrow."
"Your Majesty, the commander of the bodyguard of Prince Anguo's house, the general of the land war, asked for an audience."
A bodyguard came in and reported it.
Li Qing looked at Su Lu, smiled and said, "you Guard commander, came to see you again after leaving you for a few hours."
Su Lu waved his hand and motioned the bodyguard to lead the land war in.
"I'm afraid there's something important to report when the land war comes here."
Lu Zhan came in and knelt down and said, "tell your majesty, Prince and minister, in the escort team of Lu Shilang, they found the black flag soldiers of Qin and the Xuanjia army of Tang."
Su Lu eyebrows a pick, there are black flag army, and Xuanjia army?
Li Qing stood up in surprise: "how is it possible that you know the black flag army in the land war? How can you even know the people of the Xuanjia army?"
Lu Zhan lowered his head: "Your Majesty, I was also a brave general in the black flag army. I once followed Li Shuai and dealt with Zhou Shuai of the state of Tang. I have seen the elite of Xuanjia army and such people among the bodyguards of Lu Shilang."
