Bestow glory to the king

Chapter 534 This Tea Is So Good (3)
When Shen Xi came back earlier, his body was full of the smell of ambergris. Xie Yan also went to Tianhe Emperor's Yuanyang Hall for a while, and knew that Tianhe Emperor liked the smell of ambergris, and he liked to mix sandalwood to make the smell It is more intense, if Shen Xi stays in it all day, one can imagine how uncomfortable he will be in his stomach now.

After drinking Xie Yu's homemade tea for a while, Shen Xi obviously felt much better. He sat on his lap with Xie Yu in his arms, and let Xie Yu hook his neck, and the two leaned close together.

Shen Xi seemed to want to use the scent of plum mint tea and Xie Yu's body to completely forget the strong smell in Yuanyang Hall. Xie Yu laughed at him, and the two played around for a while before Shen Xi began to speak.

"The emperor asked me about the Ministry of War today. Although the battle in Beitang was a big victory, it seemed to be hiding something. The soldiers were led by King Fu and General Li. The king kept it secret, the Holy Majesty had doubts about this, so he sent me to the Ministry of War at that time, first to experience and second to investigate."

Shen Xi almost leaned on Xie Yuan to say these words. Today, many of Tian Hedi's cronies and cabinet ministers were all in the Yuanyang Palace, and everyone talked about it all day, and even Shen Xi couldn't bear the dizziness. stand up.

"Is there anything wrong with the battle in Beitang?" Xie Mo asked softly in Shen Xi's ear while pressing Shen Xi's temple.

She knew that sometimes when Shen Xi talked to her about things, he didn't want her to put forward any meaningful opinions, but just wanted to find someone to talk to, so that he could sort out his thoughts more accurately.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, was pressed very comfortably by Xie Yan, closed his eyes, and said to her:
"The Battle of Beitang lasted for more than ten months, and the number of casualties brought up was 6000. This time, the main army had a total of 1000 people. After returning, there should be 5000 people. Excluding the other rewards from the generals, ordinary soldiers People are rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and the Household Department allocated 80 taels of silver last month. This amount of money... even if there was a problem during the distribution process, your brother was among the officials of the Household Department who were sent to distribute the money. It was your elder brother who suggested that in order to be more accurate, instead of directly distributing money to the generals this time, he went to the school grounds in person, checked the quota, and distributed them one by one. The co-officer of the household department also wanted to do something practical and agreed , and then something went wrong..."

Xie Yuan paused for a moment with the hand pressing Shen Xi's temple, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have experienced this problem in his previous life, looked at Shen Xi and said:

"There are not so many people..."

Shen Xi's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, looked at Xie Chen in surprise, squinted his eyes after a long time and said, "Yes, how did you know?"

Xie Meng blinked her eyes twice, and said, "Guess, according to what my husband said, there won't be any other problems."

Shen Xi stared at Xie Yuan for a while, then laughed, and said:
"As expected of my Tong, you thought of this matter as soon as you thought about it. After I heard it, I still thought about it for a long time before I thought of this possibility."

Xie Yuan lowered his head in shame, only to hear Shen Xi continue to say:

"You're right. It's the people who have the problem. The officials of the household department found that many soldiers on the roster were disarmed and returned to the field after the Beitang war. However, after counting this time, there were at least 100 soldiers who were disarmed and returned to the fields...The household department reported the situation to the emperor, and the emperor immediately ordered a thorough investigation. Where did the 6000 soldiers who returned to the fields go..."
