"Tell me, which ministers are determined to abolish the bandit suppression army?"
"Of course, it was the people from the Ministry of War, led by Lord Liu Sandao. He and more than a dozen ministers jointly wrote to Your Majesty. Your Majesty just heard the news in the Southern Study and has not made any decision yet."
After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu was helpless. She had never expected that she had just won a victory and hadn't even had a celebration banquet yet, yet they tricked her like this.
This is just the beginning, and they are actually thinking of abolishing the bandit suppression army.
It seems that Liu Sandao is still concerned about the situation and is so afraid that his bandit-suppression army will have some impact on him.
After thinking about this, she felt even more that Liu Sandao was indeed a disaster for the country and the people.
I thought that if I didn't deal with him properly today, he would not know what fear was.
So she picked up a piece of paper and a pen and wrote the six big words "Sixteen Empty Boxes" on it, and then handed it to Jin Lianhua beside her.
"Lotus, please go to the Ministry of War and give this paper to Lord Liu. Let Lord Liu decide for himself what to do."
In addition to curbing Liu Sandao, another point is naturally to let the emperor know that the bandit-suppression army is still of great use.
She wanted to wait until Jin Lianhua came back before making a second decision.
Although he couldn't understand what Qian Ruoyu wrote, Liu Dehai knew that Qian Ruoyu must have a way to deal with Liu Sandao.
"Okay, Manager Liu, as long as I write this note, Master Liu will naturally not dare to do anything more. It seems that you have given me another good reminder today. Thank you so much!"
Liu Dehai said with a smile.
"What are you talking about, Madam? We are good friends now, and it is only natural for us to help each other!"
She smiled softly after hearing this.
It took Jin Lianhua less than half an incense stick of time to reach the gate of the Ministry of War. She happened to see Liu Sandao entering the Ministry of War.
Therefore, Jin Lianhua did not take the usual route, but instead directly climbed over the wall of the yamen and came to the outside of Liu Sandao's room.
As soon as Liu Sandao entered, she immediately entered the room and placed the paper directly on his desk.
"This is a letter from the Queen!"
Liu Sandao was completely shocked. He never expected that Jin Lianhua would come to his room so quickly. Even the piece of paper made him speechless.
"I am waiting for your reply. After I get your reply, I will leave."
Liu Sandao was disdainful at first, then he picked up the words on the table. After seeing those words, he was shocked on the spot.
Because the sixteen empty boxes are the empty boxes placed in the largest warehouse.
When he suddenly saw the note, Liu Sandao already knew that Qian Ruoyu knew the situation in his warehouse, so he was naturally shocked.
Jin Lianhua naturally saw his expression, and her face was full of pride.
After seeing such symptoms, Liu Sandao felt helpless and said in a distraught manner.
"You...your queen, what do you want me to do!"
Naturally, compared to the matter of the armory, nothing is more important than this matter. It is precisely because of this that he feels that he has been completely grasped, which is why he said such words now. He only hopes that he can find a way to satisfy Qian Ruoyu, so that at least his affairs will not be exposed.
Golden Lotus said calmly.
"Why would our queen ask you to do anything? It's just that you didn't behave well today, so she asked me to bring this note. If I get a satisfactory answer, I will leave."
"Today?" Liu Sandao pondered silently for a moment.
He suddenly thought of the memorial he had jointly submitted today.
But he remembered that it had only been less than an hour since this memorial was submitted, but Qian Ruoyu was able to know the content and even sent the Golden Lotus to convey the information to him.
This horrific situation had stunned him instantly. He had never imagined that the princess could do such a thing.
This shows that even around the emperor, she has spies.
Moreover, this line of evidence is very, very close, which can enable her to know the matter as quickly as possible.
This made Liu Sandao feel even more frightened, and he had no choice but to say it.
"I...I will withdraw the joint application, and even declare to His Majesty that the bandit suppression army is very necessary. Is this the satisfactory answer you want?"
After hearing this, Jin Lianhua just nodded slightly and turned away.
Hearing the sound of her closing the door made Liu Sandao feel a little helpless. He didn't expect that he, a third-rank official, could be held in such a control.
And right after that, Jin Lianhua immediately returned to the camp and told Qian Ruoyu about this matter.
After learning about this, Qian Ruoyu smiled and nodded. Liu Dehai on the side was even more shocked, wondering what could have happened that could make Liu Sandao agree so readily.
"My lady, this is strange. Liu Sandao is a man of the old school after all, and he is stubborn and doesn't know how to look at the situation. How did you make this man who compromises so easily yield?"
Qian Ruoyu said with a smile.
"To be honest, you are my person after all, so I will tell you."
"The capital's armory managed by Liu Sandao is actually just an empty shell. The envelope I just sent was just to tell him this fact. It was precisely because of hearing this fact that Liu Sandao finally gave in."
When Liu Dehai heard this, his face was instantly shocked.
"Ah! This!"
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you don't know that all the equipment in the capital's arsenal can probably equip a full 500,000-man army. Is it completely empty now?"
She nodded slightly.
Liu Dehai then continued, "I didn't expect it to be like this. No wonder you could make him so obedient with just one sentence. I don't know how much Mr. Liu has embezzled... It seems he is not a good person!"
"But what if there is no such weapon in the arsenal now? What if a powerful enemy really invades..."
When Qian Ruoyu heard this, she just smiled lightly and said very calmly.
"Isn't this simple? If any enemies invade, we will eliminate them. You may not know that a few days ago, we eliminated a large number of enemies around the capital!"
