Li Hao was convening a meeting and assigning tasks. Li Er, who was in the palace, held the meeting the same.

In fact, since Li Hao left in a hurry in the morning, Li Er had ordered people to summon Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others to enter the palace. After they arrived, they immediately told everyone about the matter.

"What? Send troops to Baekje? Your Majesty, this matter must not be done." Wei Zheng was shocked when he heard this and said anxiously: "I have not seen the letter of Silla, nor have I seen Baekje ask for help. It is not a good thing for the wise master to send troops to a rashly.

Changsun Wuji also said: "Your Majesty, Baekje and Silla are small, but at least there are more than 100,000 soldiers. It is probably difficult for the navy of thousands to play any role."

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other. Although they did not speak, they obviously did not look down on Li Hao's approach.

The Tang Dynasty finally stopped fighting, and everyone thought about how many days they could live, so they all felt disgusted with the incident of sending troops to Silla.

What's more, the fight this time was Silla and Baekje, which had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, and it was meaningless to send troops for nothing.

Li Er narrowed his eyes, listened to the crowd's discussions a little impatiently, and tapped the table gently: "Everyone, I came to you not to ask you to discuss whether to send troops, but to discuss how to deal with such a thing in the future."

When Wei Zheng heard this, he said, "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate to send troops this time, how can I come from now on?"

Li Er said calmly: "What's wrong? I am the sect leader of the Tang Dynasty. Baekje launched a war against Silla without permission. Shouldn't we attack? If all other vassal states compete to follow suit in the future, you will beat me today and I will beat you tomorrow. What's the use of the sect leader of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty, you need to know that even if the country is very wary, it will be destroyed. Emperor Yang of Sui has not been far away. Does Your Majesty want to follow his example?"

As soon as Wei Zheng said this, everyone's faces changed. Li Er was even more furious and slapped the table hard: "Bold Wei Zheng, come and take down this evil man!"

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was comparable to Zhou of Shang in the early Tang Dynasty, and Wei Zheng compared Li Er to him, which made Li Shimin, the leader of the imperialist who regarded him with high regard, not angry.

Seeing the tiger and wolf man outside strode towards Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui knew that he would not be able to stop talking at this time, so he quickly stood up and advised: "Your Majesty temporarily stops the anger of thunder, Wei Prime Minister is dedicated to the country, and this statement is actually a mistake of being unintentional."

Fang Xuanling also stood up and stopped the golden armored guards who came in, and advised him: "Yes, your Majesty, I'll forgive him for the sake of Xuancheng Gongzhong's loyalty."

Wei Zheng still looked happy and unafraid. You can kill me if you have a big desire. Li Er couldn't help but start angry and turned evil to the side of the courage. He ignored Du. Fang and the other two waved their hands: "Tele Wei Zheng out of the palace, and they will not be allowed to enter the palace without any order in the future!"

As soon as he said that, there was no room for recovery. Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling could only watch Wei Zheng being dragged out of the imperial study by two guards. From a distance, Old Wei's voice came: "Du Keming, Fang Xuanling, Your Majesty was bewitched by the treacherous slander. Wei Zheng proved the truth with his own body, without regrets. If you two still have some conscience, you should advise Your Majesty to turn back and forth..."

The sound gradually faded away and slowly disappeared.

Li Er's face was already so angry that his face turned pale and his eyes were staring outside. It was estimated that as long as someone instigated him at this time, Wei Zheng would immediately fall to the ground.

Now that things have come, they will not be able to continue. They will leave Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling both bid farewell and leave.

After leaving the imperial study room, the two stood outside the Lizheng Hall and looked at each other. It was obviously something that had nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, but after doing it, they deposed one of their prime ministers. What's this called?

After a while, Fang Xuanling said: "The person who tied the bell must be untied. Keming, why don't you and I go to Li Weigong to talk to you and Mr. Li. As long as he can convince his boy to give up the idea of ​​leaving Baekje, Xuancheng's affairs will be solved halfway."

Du Ruhui shook his head at the news: "I'm afraid it won't work. Li Jing is a man with a weak ear, and he is afraid he has no choice but to treat his kid. In my opinion, it's better to go directly to Li Dejian. This guy is pretty good at knowing the general situation on weekdays. I hope he won't let people down this time."

"Since that's the case, go together?"

"Go together!"

...

...

Li Hao had already assigned the task at this time and moved the 50,000 taels of silver left by Kim Junying into the camp.

Looking at the people gathered together, he said, "These are part of the settlement fee. You will go back and summon your men later. Each of you who are willing to go will give you fifty taels of silver. If you don't want to go, don't force them too much. Just keep them at peace with your family."

Li Zhen looked at the piles of money boxes and shook his head and sighed: "Fifty taels of silver to settle down... Dejian, you are a big deal. With this money, I guess those guys can steal the head. How could anyone want to stay?"

"Everyone has their own ambitions, don't rush to help others draw conclusions." Li Hao waved his hand and continued: "Of course, this is only half of the An family's expenses. Those who are willing to go with them will still have fifty taels of silver when they come back alive, and those who die will have one hundred and fifty taels."

Now even Lei Yao's breathing became heavy.

If you go out to fight a war, you will have 100 taels of silver when you come back alive, and if you die, it will be 200 taels.

That's two hundred taels of silver. According to the current exchange rate of silver and copper, it can be exchanged for more than 220 guan of copper coins, and piled up together.

For the poor navy, the money is simply astronomical.

He swallowed with difficulty, and Lei Yao raised his hand to interrupt Li Hao's next words: "That..., the capital, the governor, the position, the position, the position has a word, I don't know whether it should be said or not."

"Talk!" Time is life. Li Hao turned his eyes to Lei Yao without any hesitation.

"Governor, I think it's better... not to tell those bastards that there is another part of the settlement fee, especially if they die, there are still 150 taels of silver."

Li Hao frowned and stared at Lei Yao coldly and said, "Why? If there is no reasonable explanation, be careful that I will remove you from your position."

Regardless of the past or present, what he hated the most was the officials who were consuming military blood and deducting military pay. Lei Yao's words made him very unhappy.

Lei Yao probably guessed Li Hao’s thoughts and smiled bitterly: “Don’t misunderstand the governor, you have no idea of ​​deducting military pay and pensions.”

Li Hao asked, "Why is that?"

Sighing, Lei Yao said, "Governor, your identity is extraordinary, so you will naturally not take a hundred ten cents of money seriously, but... But the bastards under the command have never seen so much money. The pension of 200 taels of silver is for fear that they will use a knife to wipe their necks when they find out!"

Li Hao: "..."

He committed suicide for 200 taels of silver? What a joke?

His eyes swept across the others and found that everyone was nodding thoughtfully.

When Cheng Chumo saw Li Hao looking at him, he said carelessly: "There is nothing difficult to understand. Normally, the Ministry of War pension is only five taels of silver. If you give it, you will give it two hundred directly. My old Cheng can guarantee that if you let this go, when the war is over, you will probably be full of people when you come back."

I'm joking, these gangsters have never seen money.

Li Hao didn't know what to say, so he licked his lips and said helplessly: "Then you can do it, I'll give you a briefing. For our Ocean Navy, 200 taels of silver is really nothing. We may have 2,000 taels or 20,000 taels in the future. If we die now, it will be a big loss."

Two, two thousand taels..., everyone blinked, and most of them had a little redness.

If you really have this money, let alone fighting a war, it’s okay to fight a lifetime.

They said they would go apart. Seeing that Li Hao had no other instructions, everyone took the money and left the central army account directly, and went back to send the money..., uh no, it was a mobilization.

As the soldiers were gathered together, the battalions were quickly blown up. The fifty taels of silver deposit and the family payment was a lot of money for Lingfu, not to mention that this money was an extra money for them, and it was income other than normal military pay.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling went to the Ocean Navy headquarters under such circumstances. Because they had something to do, they did not notice the abnormalities in the camp. After the notice, they were taken into the camp by Li Hao.

Looking at the two old men who were as deep as water, Li Hao was confused and asked inexplicably: "Uncle Du, Uncle Fang, are you here to inspect the work?"

Du Ruhui didn't have the intention of joking, so he glared at Li Hao: "Boy, stop talking nonsense, what do you mean to send troops to Baekje?"

Li Hao was stunned for a moment: "Send troops to Baekje? When will it happen?"

"It's today." Fang Xuanling said: "Boy, you won't say that this matter has nothing to do with you, right? His Majesty has already said just now that he will send the Ocean Navy to fight."

Facing the two aggressive old men, Li Hao no longer knows what to say.

Li Er opened his big mouth, it was not yet two hours before, so why did everyone know?

Scratching his head, Li Hao said with some depression: "Two uncles, have you misunderstood something? The Ocean Navy is just using money to do business and is hired."

"Boy, don't look for useless excuses. Do you dare say that you weren't going to Baekje to fight this time?"

Li Hao said: "The Sillas just hired us to go around Baekje. How can this be called a war..."

Du Ruhui interrupted Li Hao and said, "Wait a moment..., do you say you should hire Silla people to pay?"

Li Hao nodded: "Yes, 500,000 yuan, including food and accommodation, and they have already paid a deposit of 10%."

Two old men: "..."

Wei Zheng seemed a little unfair. If His Majesty the Emperor had said that the Silla people would pay money, they would have stopped him.

The reason why Old Wei compared Li Er to Yang Guang was not because he was worried that he would spend the national treasury on sending troops to Baekje.

Fang Xuanling was really unbearable: "My nephew, you... why didn't you say it earlier!"

Li Hao was innocent: "I said it earlier? Didn't I say this? Why should I get it early?"

Du Ruhui sighed, knowing that he couldn't explain clearly at this time, so he stood up and said, "You... forget it, hurry up, come into me and go back to the city, something big happened."
