Wars are extremely financially consuming things. For example, the Qiang rebellion that Duan Jiang wiped out. It took the imperial court ten years to pacify the rebellion. At that time, there were only 10,000 people in the Qiang rebellion. After one war, the imperial court spent more than one million yuan.

When Zhang Jiao rebelled, Huangfu Song emptied the small treasury of Emperor Liu Hong at one time. Later, Dong Hu sent more than 200 million yuan to the inner court, but the "inner court" not only included the emperor, but also a group of eunuchs of all sizes.

The money was paid during the war. Didn’t there be rewards after the war? No matter how unwilling Liu Hong was, he would have to reward some meritorious soldiers after the war. They were all kinds of, and they had almost spent more than half a year. Didn’t he just put his ideas into the treasury under the name of Si Nong?

Selling officials, robbing the money from the treasury... and snatching all the money into his own small treasury. Apart from leaving an empty house for Situ Cui Lie, he didn't leave anything for him. No wonder he had to report the horrific thing about "abandoning Liangzhou".

As soon as he walked out of the harem, he saw the little princess Liu Yan following behind Queen He with her head down. It seemed that the little princess had made some mistakes.

"The old minister has met the Empress."

Cui Lie was a grand servant before. When he heard that the emperor wanted to sell three top officials, he spent five million yuan to buy the position of "Situ" prime minister through the way of Emperor Liu Hong's wet nurse, and kicked the former Situ Yuan Wei aside.

The Taifu is an official in charge of car driving matters, and can also be regarded as the horse-raising official of "Bima Wen". If it were the heyday of the Han Dynasty, it would definitely be a first-class official. After all, it was in charge of hundreds of thousands of war horses. No matter which general you were, you had to flatter.

But now it is not possible. Even if there are horses in Shandan Horse Farm, there are few horses. Now that the Qiang people rebel, they will probably be robbed of all the robberies. There were thousands of emperors in Xiyuan who had plundered the horses from various counties and countries. They were also taken clean by Huangfu Song when he was plundering the small treasury. The Taifu became an official position without any sense of existence. No wonder Cui Lie spent five million to buy the position of Situ.

Some things are obvious. Queen He naturally knew the reason for Cui Lie to buy an official position, but she didn't expect Cui Lie to suddenly block the way.

"Is there something wrong with Cui Xiang?"

Empress He was a butcher from Wancheng. Before entering the palace, she also helped her family sell meat. She was far less gentle than a lady from a family and spoke more directly. Cui Lie was the chief executive of the emperor's carriage. He dealt with the inner court almost every day. He knew Empress He's temperament. After holding her fists and bowing, she showed some lament on her face.

"The state is difficult. First, the Yellow Turban Thiefs were in chaos last year... Fortunately, the princess led the troops to eliminate the bandits in Yuzhou. If it weren't for the princess's leadership, it would not have been so famine like Qing, Ji and Jing in Yuzhou. This year, there are all the remnants of Yellow Turban Thiefs in other places, and the only thing that no bandits in Yuzhou robbed counties is because of the princess's achievements."

Cui Lie praised the little princess Liu Yan's eyes were curved and she kept lit her little head until her mother looked at her, and she was busy lowering her little head.

"well……"

"I thought the thieves had been settled, but this year it was a waste of money. It was the time when the ministers worked together to prosper the country. Unexpectedly... First, a major epidemic killed nearly a thousand people, and then the Nangong Fire was fired."

"The fire just went out, Ji, Qing, Xu, Yi, the Yellow Turban thieves rebelled again, and the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou became even more fierce..."

The little princess' ears were straight up, and when she heard Cui Lie say this, she couldn't help it.

"Tiger kids are very good at fighting..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Queen He scolded her coldly, and the little princess was busy and lowered her little head...

"Don't blame Cui Xiang, Yan'er is a little more coquettish..."

"How dare you..."

Cui Lie hurriedly clasped his fists and blocked Queen He's words in his mouth, but his face was a little solemn.

"Last year, everyone said that it was inappropriate for His Highness to leave the capital. But the old minister secretly praised His Highness for His Highness's bravery and courage. There was no minister in the court who was as brave and fearless as the princess when she was old!"

Queen He was speechless and couldn't help but look at her daughter with her little head down. She couldn't see any bravery, courageous and fearless. Of course, her daughter knew it, but it was true that she was more bold than her son.

As soon as he entered the palace, he rolled in the inner palace for ten years and stood out among the three thousand beauties. Queen He also knew what Cui Lie wanted to express, but she still shook her head slightly.

"A few days ago, Eunuch Gao and Lintao Huwa went to send a letter..."

Cui Lie and the little princess all looked up and Queen He sighed in her heart.

"Thuwa wrote that if he had stopped in Jinyang last winter, he would have been able to fight for Liangzhou for the country this year, but today he could not. The people have not yet settled, 200,000 to 300,000 people have not yet cultivated, and there were tigers and wolves around Yanmen County, so he would have no way to leave Yanmen County for a while."

Cui Lie frowned and said, "There are also wise and virtuous ministers in the court, so it is okay to let others go to Anmin to cultivate land."

Queen He shook her head slightly and said, "Cui Xiang also knew that the remnants of the Yellow Turbans have started to cause rebellion in various places this year. Although Huwa is young and reckless, he can suppress the thieves. Just like the Qiang people in Liangzhou are in chaos, there are no thieves in Hehuang Valley. The 200,000 to 300,000 people in Yanmen County are newly surrendered. If they are not taken into custody, if 200,000 to 300,000 people in chaos, the entire Bingzhou will be in danger and not a good deed."

...

After a moment of silence, Cui Lie could only bow and hold his fists in the end...

"Old minister...the old minister respectfully sends the empress."

Queen He nodded slightly, then took Xiao Liuyan away, and sighed secretly, regretting that she could not give Dong Zhuo that day, and Dong Hu had more support. Now that she has gone to Yanmen County, there is no way to regret it.

Ignoring Cui Lie's helplessness, Queen He thought about the letter a few days ago and took the little princess all the way to the bedroom. Xiao Liubian was squatting on the ground and playing gobiao with Gao Wang, and her brows couldn't help but frown. She didn't object to her son's chess, but she didn't like her son's squatting on the ground.

Xiao Liubian was a little timid. When he saw his mother and sister coming, he stood up in a hurry, holding a small branch in his hand, looking a little uneasy.

"There is no table at home. Since my son likes to play chess, my mother will naturally not stop him. But my son is the eldest son of the emperor, how can he be as unpretentious as a slave?"

Empress He scolded her, but Liu Bian didn't dare to talk too much. Gao Wang, who was standing beside her, was very human. After lowering her body and punching her, she smiled bitterly.

"Empress, the old slave is also persuading Shi Hou. But... Huwa once told Shi Hou that although he looks good, he should not look down on the overall situation. He said that Shi Hou is the eldest son of His Majesty and the future emperor of the empire. He should look down on the world with high a high view and ability to control the overall situation, rather than pretending to scare people..."

"Old Nu...Old Nu thinks that Huwa is indeed a little nonsense, but his words still make some sense."

With Gao Wang's words, Queen He looked solemn. As a mother, the most nervous thing was her son's future, but she didn't know that Dong Hu was simply unable to change his bad habits, so she deliberately made excuses for herself to squat and play chess.

After hearing Gao Wang's words, Empress He did not blame her son for being rude and was not solemn, but instead sighed a little.

"Huwa's words sometimes make sense, but sometimes they are a little nonsense. If they don't tell others about the three strategies of the top, middle and lower, how could the court be so troubled?"

After hearing this, Gao Wang couldn't help but show some bitterness. Just as the queen said, if the upper, middle and lower levels of "destroy the country", the emperor and the internal and external courts would not be angry, and wealth within Guangzong would also flow into the palace. Why should the emperor increase the tax and steal the money from the treasury?

The money robbed by the Yellow Turban thieves was truly stocked in Wancheng and Guangzong. Each of them was comparable to a national treasury, but no hair was sent to the inner court.

There were great similarities before the country was destroyed in all dynasties. At this time, Emperor Liu Hong, when he was worried and worried internally and externally, the Nangong was burned and burned. The political center of the Han Dynasty was Beigong. Nangong was only for the imprisoned people, and it would not affect the Beigong after it was burned. Why should I increase taxes and repair palaces in the world?

Liu Hong is like this, what about Emperor Yang Guang of Sui? There are countless rebels outside, and foreign envoys gathered in Luoyang, and they had to make ten miles of silk and silk, as well as Cixi's Old Summer Palace. But when you think about it, don't they know the consequences of doing so?

It’s not that they don’t know, but that they know that after the world is in chaos, people’s hearts will also be in chaos. They just want to use this to demonstrate or prove some confidence.

Is Nangong important? It is not important to Beigong, but Nangong was the political center of the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The three government offices were right next to the Nangong. The Nangong was destroyed. Is it a sign of something to the world?

The father said that the mother had the right reason, and some things were difficult to tell the right or wrong, but one thing was certain, the empire was insufficient financial resources, and even if the emperor sold the palace, it would be difficult to maintain the expense of quelling chaos everywhere. Of course, even if it could not be maintained, the emperor could not do so randomly, but Dong Hu was easy to use!

When Dong Hu led his troops to come, he came with 150,000 stones of grain. Except for when ten thousand cavalry rushed to Luoyang, the court allocated some supplies. After that, he never asked the court for money and food, but instead sent 200,000 to 300,000 to the inner court.

If you don’t need money and food to feed, you can work hard. Where can you find such a good animal?

The queen, Gao Wang sighed in her heart. When they heard the three strategies of the country's destruction that day, they were also a little annoyed. But half a year passed, and they regretted that they had not been able to provide more support on that day. At least when Dong Hu reported that it was cold and wanted to stay in Taiyuan County for the winter, they did not persuade the emperor. Now, the little bastard angrily robbed Yanmen County and cultivated fields in Yanmen County.

The room was a little depressed for a while, and Queen He frowned for a long time in the main seat...

"Eunuch Gao, you are familiar with the tiger baby. The tiger baby once said thirty-six strategies. How do you think we should pacify the remnants of the Yellow Turbans and the Qiang Thiefs in Liangzhou at this time?"

Gao Wang opened his mouth and smiled bitterly and clasped his fists.

"Grandmaster, Huwa said thirty-six strategies that day, what kind of princess left Beijing? Other strategies cannot be used, they can only use defeated strategies..."

The little princess pulled her sleeves and said softly: "Eunuch Gao, Huwa is using an empty city strategy, and is a false statement..."

Gao Wang was speechless for a while, thinking that he would catch you to herd sheep on the plateau, but he didn't dare to say this, so he could only nod and smile bitterly.
