Dahan first prince

Chapter 130 Gute Meow is full of firepower!

Listening to Xiao He's confession so vividly and without fault at all, Liu Ying was also full of confidence from the very beginning, then a little bit astonished later, and finally, Xiao He said the sentence, "I want to make Yangcheng prosper." "Stay away from me", Liu Ying already had a little admiration in her heart.

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Liu Ying would really like to learn from later generations, God of Gamblers Fa Ge's famous emoji, give Xiao He a big round of applause!
See what Xiao He said?
——The minister didn't do anything, Yangcheng Yan insisted on sticking to the minister's body, because of public affairs and private interests, how can this be done?

——In order to ensure that Yang Chengyan will not continue to abolish private interests due to public affairs, the minister can only do this bad policy, so that Yang Chengyan will remember to hate the minister and will no longer follow the minister's lead!

——Of course, the minister is definitely not ignoring the life and death of the servants of the Shaofu for this matter. The treasury is indeed out of food...
In just a few words, Prime Minister Xiao He, who is at the core of the political power center and holds great power in the court, did not get even a little bit of dust!

Because of meritorious deeds, he became Yang Chengyan's pot;

Refusal to allocate grain and rice has become the emperor Liu Bang's battle, and the army consumes too much food and grass.

On the other hand, what about Xiao He?
Emperor Liu Bang ordered the construction of Changle and Weiyang palaces, Xiao He did not say anything, and they were completed in less than a year!

The emperor Liu Bang suspected that Xiao He had too much power, so Xiao He took the initiative to smear himself, so as to avoid the suspicion of the monarch and his ministers, and turmoil in the government and the opposition!

Even the issue of "no distinction between public and private" between Xiao He and Yang Chengyan made Xiao He speak out.

What's wrong with this, but it's not good for me to tell Yangcheng Yanming that I will hurt the peace of my colleagues for no reason'~
What's the meaning of "deliberately doing something wrong so that Yangcheng Yanming can justifiably hate himself"~
If it wasn't for Liu Ying being the prince, Xiao He would be more or less afraid of Liu Ying's status as the prince. Liu Ying even doubted: say a few more words, I am afraid that even Liu Ying would have to bear some inexplicable blame!
For example, as a prince, he didn't want to share the worries of his father, but tried to find a way to share the food rations of the officials and slaves of the Shaofu. Instead, he came here to make things difficult for an old prime minister who had made great achievements and devoted himself...

"Ah······"

"It's really..."

"An eye-opener?"

With a slander inwardly, Liu Ying couldn't help but sneer meaningfully.

Liu Ying has already been mentally prepared for "courtiers and ministers are not good".

——When people like Zhifang Hou Yongchi know how to use their only value to please the emperor, the other "normal people" in the court are by no means simple roles.

But even so, for Xiao He, who has always been praised as "gentle and moist as jade" and "quite the style of the elderly", he actually staged an extremely wonderful political show titled "The Highest Realm of Reversing Black and White" in front of him. Liu Ying was still astonished by the big drama.

I can’t blame Liu Ying for being so rare, it’s really Xiao He’s attitude of ‘everyone can be wrong, but I can’t’, it’s so familiar...

"Okay."

"Co-authored in the first year of the Western Yuan Dynasty, my officials in China have already cultivated such high-level bureaucratic exclusive skills..."

"Hey!"

There was another sneer in the dark, and when Liu Ying raised her head again, a trace of fighting spirit was quietly ignited in her eyes looking at Xiao He!
——It is not noble to distinguish between right and wrong, and to reverse black and white.

But Liu Ying knew very well: If you want to play politics, you have to be black-hearted and thick-skinned.

Therefore, the so-called: thick black art...
"Since Xiao said a few words, the officials and slaves of the young mansion have no food to eat, and they have become the father, right?"

Seeing Liu Ying say this sentence that made Xiao He a little bit shocked, there was an extremely indifferent smile on his face.

"But in the next few years, shouldn't father and government be in the hands of Prime Minister Xiao?"

"Or in the sixth year of the Han Dynasty, the father did not order Xiao Xiang to build the Changle and Weiyang palaces, or did not send Yang Shaofu to help?"

"Same as Xiao, the young mansion has a very close personal relationship, so that there is no distinction between public and private, but the young mansion shouldn't be grateful for the kindness. Instead, it should repay the kindness, get the kindness of Xiao Xiang's knowledge and encounter, and repeatedly oppose Xiao Xiang's advice with the court?"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

After smacking her lips for a while, she saw Liu Ying raised her head with a strange smile on her face.

"in this case······"

"The officials and slaves of the Shaofu have no grain and rice to eat, so it's just a lunch box."

"I use the official slaves of the Shaofu alone, and with the entrustment of the whole father to build the canal, I should use the private food of the mother's relatives to support the official slaves thirty thousand on behalf of Xiao Xiang."

"In this way, can it be regarded as sharing the worries of Junfu, so as to reduce the burden of Prime Minister Xiao?"

"Hey······"

"There is such an unbelievable thing..."

Seeing what Liu Ying said, with an undisguised sarcasm all the time on his face, Xiao He only smiled slightly, and quietly cupped his hands.

"It's important at home."

"It's not that far, it's not that..."

He said that this is not the case, but Xiao He's expression did not show any negative color at all, as if he completely acquiesced to what Liu Ying just said?

Just when Xiao He was about to speak again to tell the 'truth' of this matter, Liu Ying suddenly slapped her thigh, and immediately let out a long breath.

"Whoo~"

"Since that's the case, there are thirty thousand servants of the young mansion..."

"Gu, you really don't dare to use it anymore?"

With a hesitant murmur, Liu Ying shook her head to herself, and immediately began to 'talk to herself'.

"The rent and tax paid by Marquis Li last year have all been used to repair the canals in the past few months."

"The feudal states of the Marquis Jiancheng and the Marquis of Ming are located in the east of the Guanwai, and the other is at the junction of Jingchu and Huainan, so the transportation of taxes and taxes is inconvenient."

"Kuang Gu thought he was a prince, and now he has the responsibility of supervising the country entrusted by his father. It is really inappropriate to use the private money of his mother's family to perform official duties alone..."

Talking thoughtfully, Liu Ying shook her head helplessly, then immediately looked up at Xiao He.

"In this way, there are [-] officials and slaves in the Shaofu, who are alone and unable to use them."

"Without these [-] officials and slaves, we should stop building the canal."

After saying that, Liu Ying stepped forward a little bit, unfolded a roll of blank bamboo slips on the table in front of Xiao He, and then mixed the ink for Xiao He herself.

The rabbit hair in her hand was stirring gently on the wooden inkstone, but Liu Ying didn't even lift her head, and said, "It's time for you to write."

"It is said that the treasury is very short of grain and rice, and it is unable to allocate the rations of the officials and slaves of the Shaofu. Therefore, the prince has no choice but to give up on the construction of the canal."

"There are few government officials and slaves who have no food to fill their stomachs, no winter clothes to cover the cold, and many die of hunger and cold; the dead..."

"A full thirty thousand?"

Asked as if talking to herself, Liu Ying nodded to herself again, and handed the rabbit hair full of black ink to Xiao He.

"Xiao Xiang, please."

Seeing Liu Ying's solemn posture, even though he is used to strong winds and waves, Xiao He's face froze for a moment.

"At home, here..."

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that Liu Ying shook her head in grief, she straightened up immediately and let out a long sigh.

"Ugh······"

"Xiao knows quite well that his father dislikes him when he becomes a reserve in isolation."

"Last autumn, the Supreme Emperor passed away, and the father even had the idea of ​​easy storage and abolition of the queen."

"If it hadn't been for the mother's full support and Xiao Xiang's honest advice from all the officials, the father would have temporarily given up the idea of ​​easy storage. He would like to use Zheng Guoqu's renovation work and the opportunity to prove his talents alone."

Speaking of this, Liu Ying couldn't help shaking her head and sighing again.

"Ugh······"

"Unfortunately, today, I have no food to support even the officials and slaves who built the canal."

"It's no wonder that the father doesn't like being alone, and instead regards King Zhao as the queen of the country~"

Seeing Liu Ying's decadent appearance like a mourning concubine in a short while, Xiao He couldn't help but subconsciously frowned.

"Such a slight setback has already made the family retreat in fear?"

"It is important to know that it is the reserve position of the Bao family, the queen..."

"The empress can be said to be omnipotent, and she does her best to preserve the reserve position in the family."

"The current family speaks lightly of defeat, why should I face the queen?"

"In the future, how will the king rule the world and rule the people of the world?!"

As he said that, Xiao He's tone of voice carried a hint of hatred for his indisputability.

But when Liu Ying heard the words, she was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Xiao He inexplicably.

"Why did Prime Minister Xiao say such a thing?"

"How did Gu ever say that he wanted to resign from the crown prince?"

Asking this question full of doubts, Liu Ying even exaggeratedly jumped back slightly, and looked at Xiao He in disbelief.

"Does Xiao Xiang think that Zheng Guoqu's renovation is unfavorable, and he wants to take responsibility for it?"

"—The matter of repairing the canal alone, but the treasury has no food transfer and the servants of the Shaofu government, it is only a matter!"

"Why?"

"Xiao Xiangli is the leader of hundreds of bureaucrats, he is the head of all officials, and he is praised by his father as the 'first marquis of the founding of the country'. Could it be that even such a responsibility has been worn down by the years?"

Shouting out these questions in surprise, Liu Ying hurried forward, as if afraid of Xiao He's escape, she tightly grasped Xiao He's wrist, and dragged her towards the desk.

"Xiao Xiang can never laugh."

"If there is no 'statement of guilt' written by Xiao Xiang himself, I would not dare to stop the renovation of Zhengguo Canal!"

"Return to Xiao Xiangsu Shu!"

"After getting this book, Gu also returned to Weiyang with peace of mind, and ordered to stop repairing the canal!"

Frightened by Liu Ying's posture, Xiao He couldn't stabilize his figure for a while, but Liu Ying dragged him back to sit in front of the wooden desk.

Looking down at the blank bamboo slips in front of her, and raising her head, it was Liu Ying who handed over the rabbit hair again with a little urgency on her face.

Think back to what Liu Ying said just now...
"This!"

"The father and son seem to be carved out of the same mold!"

With a scolding anxiously in his heart, Xiao He quickly raised his head, and was about to speak, but saw Liu Ying's serious and slightly urgent face, slowly showing a meaningful smile.

"Gu, I don't intend to make things difficult for Xiang Xiang too much."

Seeing Liu Ying smiled again, she immediately knelt down and looked at Xiao He with deep meaning.

"That is to say, at this age, half of the salaries of Guanzhong officials are paid, so there is absolutely no reason for 'officials have half of their salaries, and officials and slaves have all to eat'."

"Today, there are 15 officials and slaves in the Shaofu and the construction of the canal. When they work until the spring and March, they need nearly [-] shi of rice."

As she said that, Liu Ying pouted her mouth slightly towards the space above the case.

"If you don't want to write a 'pleasure of guilt', Prime Minister Xiao can write to the state treasury and transfer [-] shi of rice and grain to feed the officials and slaves of the Shaofu."

"The remaining [-] stones will be raised separately."

"So, can I?"
