Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Therefore, there is basically no danger in Chang'an City.

But there is always a chance of something happening.

Qin Wenyuan still has to make some preparations just in case.

He picked up the chopsticks and ate the almost cold food. While eating, he thought about the staffing arrangements this time.

When you leave, who do you need to take with you?

Xue Rengui didn't need to say anything more, he had to take him away.

However, Xue Rengui did not have much experience and needed some people with professional training to teach him.

That’s just right, the dog will do.

Xu Gou is a serious shadow guard. When I talked to him before, I had promised him that I would give him more room to display his martial arts skills in the future.

It just so happens that this time, Xu Gou can accompany Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui was the commander-in-chief, and Xu Gou served as his assistant.

The two of them should be about the same. Of course, I will keep an eye on them.

He would not speak out easily, but if Xu Gou and Xue Rengui made a problematic decision, he would remind them.

For the top personnel, Xu Gou and Xue Rengui are enough.

No matter how much, it will be bad if you don’t listen.

Then the Snake must also be brought along.

Snakes have a good ability to disguise themselves, which may come in handy at critical moments.

Moreover, Sishe controls the Intelligence Department of the Dali Temple. When going to Nanzhao, he will also be responsible for intelligence, so Sishe is necessary.

He planned to take away half of his 100 capable secret guards and leave the other half in Chang'an as a backup.

These people all have special abilities and can play unexpected roles at critical moments, so I can rest assured if they stay.

Apart from them, Qin Wenyuan did not plan to bring any other acquaintances with him.

If everything goes well during this trip to Nanzhao, we will be able to return in three months at most, or two months at least.

It would not be too difficult for an army of 900,000 to attack Nanzhao.

The difficulty lies in how to unify the morale of an army of 900,000 and how to obey orders.

The difficulty is that the Beidou Society may fully support Nanzhao, but Qin Wenyuan is not sure how many capable people there are in the Beidou Society.

Therefore, this expedition was both easy and difficult.

The final result will depend on who has better skills, who can see further, and who has planned more deeply.

the next day.

Li Shimin held the first formal parliament of the League of All Nations as promised.

This was the first alliance parliament convened by Tang Dynasty as the leader after the establishment of the Alliance of All Nations and the confirmation of Tang Dynasty as the leader.

At the parliament, Li Shimin denounced the evil deeds of Nanzhao and other countries.

He did not pay too much attention to the situation in the Tang Dynasty, but instead spoke up for the envoys.

On the one hand, he said that the envoys were deceived and used as pawns by Nanzhao and other countries.

At the same time, it was said that these envoys almost died at the hands of Nanzhao and other countries.

Nanzhao and the others really went too far and were so hateful.

If a country like this is not destroyed, why keep it around?

Should I just keep it to myself and endure it if I don't take revenge?

Li Shimin is very good at mobilizing emotions.

For a moment, the entire parliament hall was filled with curses against Nanzhao and other countries.

These envoys had experienced all of this personally and had almost died, so they felt deeply the pain of Li Shimin's words.

It's really a skin-deep feeling.

Therefore, for a moment, they really wanted to pick up their swords and go straight to Nanzhao to kill.

Li Shimin did not stop them either.

Let the venue be in chaos.

I listened to their cursing and watched them banging the table with a calm expression.

Wait until he feels the atmosphere is right.

The emotions were almost there, everyone's hatred was ignited, and he finally stated his purpose.

Use the power of the alliance to destroy Nanzhao!
Can take revenge.

It can also demonstrate the strength of the alliance.

Let other countries that have not joined the alliance see how powerful our alliance is.

Let them regret it till their intestines turn green!

If Li Shimin had stated his purpose at the beginning, these envoys might have hesitated.

I will think about it and reflect on the situation in my own country.

But now, each of them is like a powder keg that has been ignited and is about to explode.

At this time, after hearing what Li Shimin said, how could he still hesitate?

Therefore, all of a sudden, voices of approval were heard one after another.

Li Shimin also pretended to say: "Our alliance has always been centered on the interests of the member countries, so everything we do must be systematic."

"So, let's start voting. As long as 70% of the votes pass, the alliance will take action and point the sword at Nanzhao!"

"Now, let the voting begin."

Soon, these envoys wrote down their choices and threw them into the ballot box.

Then, Li Shimin asked people to count the votes.

It wasn't long before the vote count came out.

Li Shimin took a look at the result and immediately smiled.

He was very satisfied with the result.

Looking at the envoys, he said: "The results are out, I will announce the results now."

Everyone looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said: "There are ninety-one votes in favor of attacking Nanzhao!"

"The number of votes against attacking Nanzhao is zero, and the number of votes to remain neutral, neither in favor nor against, and to follow everyone's opinion is two!"

"So, the number of votes in favor far exceeds 70%. So I declare!"

Li Shimin smiled and said: "The plan to attack Nanzhao has been established. From now on, all countries will begin preparations!"

"At the same time, in order to prevent Nanzhao from getting wind of the news and making preparations in advance, which would damage our military strength, I have decided that within ten days, the troops of all countries must arrive at the Nanzhao border!"

"what?"

"Is ten days too short?"

"Yes! Ten days is too short."

All the envoys were a little surprised. Ten days was really too short.

But Li Shimin smiled and said, "Just listen to me. When I'm done, you can see if it's short or not."

Then, he told the envoys what Qin Wenyuan had said to him.

This includes the fact that the Tang Dynasty is willing to lend its territory to them, that those who arrive first will be given priority in allocating benefits, and that those who arrive later will have to fight in the front...

Give a stick and a sweet date.

Use it very freely.

When the envoys heard these words, they all narrowed their eyes, and then voices of approval continued to be heard.

Those who are close to me all agree with it.

For long distances, we can pass through the Tang Dynasty instead of taking a long detour. Although time is tight, it is not insufficient.

More importantly, this is directly related to the distribution of benefits.

And even if the majority agree, it is useless if the minority opposes.

So soon, this proposal was passed.

Li Shimin looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Then everyone should hurry up and get ready. I wish that the first action of our alliance will be a complete success!" The alliance envoys left one after another.

They all walked in a hurry, and it was obvious that they all wanted to inform their empire of the situation here as quickly as possible.

But if I write at a normal speed, there will definitely not be enough time.

But no envoy mentioned this matter.

This shows that they all have secrets and their own ways of conveying the situation here to their respective countries in a short period of time.

Sure enough, everything was just as Qin Wenyuan expected. None of these envoys were really simple.

Li Shimin took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

Walk out of the hall and outside.

The sun was shining brightly and the weather was just right.

"Qin Wenyuan, I have done everything I can for you."

"From now on, it's up to you."

"Nanzhao is not like the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, I can do everything I can to protect you, but in a foreign country, you can only rely on yourself."

"Be careful, I am waiting for you to return safely and marry Changle."

Li Shimin took another deep breath, then retracted his gaze, turned around and ran towards the hall.

What happened next was no longer under his control.

Everything depends on Qin Wenyuan himself.

…………

Qin Mansion.

Qin Wenyuan sat behind the table, looking through the files reviewed by Chu Suiliang.

These are all specific matters concerning the army.

He was very quick and closed the file almost immediately after glancing at it.

Chu Suiliang stood aside, waiting for Qin Wenyuan's lecture.

Although Qin Wenyuan read very quickly, several times faster than himself, Chu Suiliang knew that Qin Wenyuan had definitely judged whether the result of his approval was correct or wrong.

After all, when it comes to solving cases and these transfers, Qin Wenyuan is like a god.

Not long after, Qin Wenyuan finished reading all the files that Chu Suiliang had reviewed that day.

Qin Wenyuan put the file aside, looked at Chu Suiliang with a smile, and said: "Mr. Chu, you did a good job. I have already checked it. There is not a single mistake in this troop movement."

"Also, I have paid attention to some of the cases you have handled since taking office."

"Conviction is what should be convicted."

"Those who should be sent back for retrial should be sent back."

"There are sufficient reasons for various cases, and there are no problems. I believe there will be no problems if they are sent to the Ministry of Justice for review."

When Chu Suiliang heard Qin Wenyuan's words, although he was very confident in himself, he still breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said, "As long as I don't disappoint Lord Qin."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "You won't be disappointed. You did a really good job."

"And since I have chosen you by name, there must be a reason for that."

Chu Suiliang smiled and nodded.

Qin Wenyuan pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down."

Chu Suiliang sat down.

Qin Wenyuan picked up the teacup, blew away the hot air on it, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Master Chu, in the next two or three months, the Dali Temple Minister will be retiring and returning home, and the new Dali Temple Minister Bai Yanguan is still outside Chang'an City, so the Dali Temple will be handed over to you."

"The Dali Temple is an extremely important judicial organ and must not fail."

"Countless victims are still waiting for you to convict them of crimes, and some wrongly accused people are waiting for us to help them redress their grievances."

"The Dali Temple has a heavy mission and responsibility, because your thoughts may determine a person's life or death."

"Therefore, the Dali Temple did not dare to easily select the Shaoqing before, because of this."

"Luckily you're here. You're the only person that this official and Bai Yanguan can trust to do a good job. So from now on, Bai Yanguan is very confident that the burden of the Dali Temple will be temporarily handed over to you."

........................

Chu Suiliang had not expected that Qin Wenyuan and Dali Temple Minister Bai Yanguan would value and trust him so much. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Master Qin, please rest assured. I will do my best and will never let you down."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and nodded: "Then I won't be polite to you, Lord Chu, the Dali Temple depends on you."

He got up and walked to the window.

Looking at the fallen leaves outside the window, he whispered, "It's late autumn now. It may be New Year's Day before I return."

Chu Suiliang said: "Master Qin is a little emotional. Could it be that... Master Qin is also worried about this trip?"

Chu Suiliang was a little worried.

Qin Wenyuan smiled and shook his head: "There is nothing to worry about. It's just that young people don't know the taste of sorrow, so they force themselves to be sad in order to write new poems."

He laughed and walked straight out.

He raised his right hand high and said, "Mr. Chu, the Japanese officials will not come here for the next few days. The Dali Temple is in your hands. Remember, don't let down the innocent people who believe in us!"

Time goes by day by day.

In the past few days, Qin Wenyuan has not been to the Dali Temple again.

Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

This has always been Qin Wenyuan’s philosophy.

Since he and Bai Yanguan had chosen to trust Chu Suiliang, and since they had chosen to hand over the Dali Temple to Chu Suiliang, he would completely trust Chu Suiliang.

Therefore, he never asked about the affairs of the Dali Temple again.

Instead, he kept shuttling between the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Revenue and other government offices.

I'll check on their progress at the Ministry of Works later.

I will go to the Ministry of Revenue to inquire about the mobilization of grain and fodder later.

This time, the alliance army was dispatched, and each department was responsible for providing food and fodder.

In other words, each country had to contribute a portion of food and grass, which would then be uniformly allocated by the commander-in-chief Xue Rengui.

If Nanzhao is not conquered within the planned time, then all subsequent food and grass will be provided by the alliance leader Tang.

Doing so can reassure other countries, so that they don't have to worry that this expedition is a bottomless pit and that their national strength will be unable to support it.

On the other hand, it also demonstrates the Tang Dynasty's leadership spirit.

Make the image of the Tang Dynasty more glorious and make all member states more convinced.

There is nothing wrong with the Tang Dynasty in every aspect. Even if you want to find fault, you can't find any.

of course……

Qin Wenyuan doesn't want the Tang Dynasty to pay too much.

The reason why he worked hard to establish the alliance was to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty and let the Tang Dynasty gain benefits.

It's not just a matter of asking the Tang Dynasty to pay.

Therefore, he will also try his best to ensure that the alliance army can destroy Nanzhao within the planned time.

With the advantage of the alliance army and his own assistance, he believed that this would definitely not be a difficult task.

And once they conquer Nanzhao, everything of Nanzhao will become theirs.

By then, looting things from Nanzhao can completely make up for the efforts made by the Tang Dynasty this time.

In short, this time, the Tang Dynasty definitely made a profit.

And it’s a huge profit!
In this way, time passes day by day.

Finally, it was the eve of departure.

On this day, as soon as the sun set, the Minister of Works Cen Wenben hurried to Qin Wenyuan's small courtyard.

He knocked on Qin Wenyuan's door.

Qin Wenyuan opened the door and saw Cen Wenben. He smiled and said, "Lord Cen is here. My wife just cooked a bowl of noodles. Let's eat together."
