Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 252

Hearing that Li Chengqian packed up his precious son as soon as he came, Wei Ting didn't want to show his anger, but because of the emperor's plan and his own plan, he still held back his anger and welcomed Li Chengqian back.

Of course, Li Chengqian was not idle when he and Dou Kuan released food. He asked Zhang Sizheng to go outside the city and transfer Qin Huaiyu's three thousand elite cavalry into the city.After all, Xingyuan is different from the city, there are all Wei Ting's people and the situation is murky, if it is just like this, it will not be a rabbit.

"Wei Qing, don't be nervous. Wei Qingsi and others have been blamed by the heavens, which is very different from you. Although there are some changes in this disaster relief, His Majesty doesn't mean to go into it. So relax, let's talk, anyway. There is no rush for Wuzhou to take office."

Li Chengqian's words are very grand, this is a standard match between a monarch and his subjects, and no one can find fault with it.But today's target, Wei Ting, is the one who killed two bedrooms by him, if he believed it, he would have seen a ghost.

"Hey, Your Majesty's benevolence doesn't care about Wei Ting's crime. I should have committed suicide to pay for it. However, my talents are limited, and I really have no power to deal with the current situation in Shandong Province."

Hehe, this Wei Ting is still playing this game with Lao Tzu, needless to say, the game should be revealed next.Thinking of this, Li Chengqian smiled and made a gesture of invitation to him, asking him to drink some tea and speak slowly.

"Your Highness, you also know that the materials allocated by the imperial court this time are not very large, whether it is food, medicinal materials, tents and other materials, the gap is very large. After the minister takes office, he will be busy dredging the river and strengthening the dam. At the same time, they had to help those victims, so this little thing didn't last long.

But the imperial court couldn't provide so much supplies for a while. After thinking about it, the minister borrowed some from the family in the name of the imperial court.The method is a bit of imitation. The aristocratic families, merchants, and temples in Shandong Province really helped the court. It is not too much to describe it with the four words of public loyalty and body.

Your Highness, the rations released today are also borrowed from them.It's not that Quanzi is stingy, but that there are too few things, and he is afraid that he will not be able to continue after they are all divided up. "

After listening to Wei Ting's words, Li Chengqian just took a sip of tea, he knew that there is no free lunch in the world, how could those aristocratic families who usually beat the people to their bones and marrows be so kind as to lend food to the court.

According to their past practices, now is the time for those suffering people to sell their sons and daughters. It would be so strange if they didn't take the opportunity to annex the land in the hands of the people and buy more people as slaves.

"Let's talk, how much is the interest?" This is the most relevant question for Li Chengqian. After all, he doesn't know how much supplies are needed for disaster relief. If Wei Ting is less defeated, the common people can eat more food. At this time, one more food It's all life-saving.

"Not much, not much." After hearing Li Chengqian's question, Wei Ting took out a chapter from his sleeve and presented it, and then said: "His Royal Highness knows that in this year of catastrophe, who can lend money for nothing? Things from the imperial court, so I always want to give others a little bit of sweetness. But the imperial court doesn’t know what can be repaid, so I mortgaged some of the government’s private land to them in the name of imperial envoys and inspectors.”

Hearing Wei Ting's words and the contents of this memorial, Li Chengqian was so angry that he wanted to tear him apart.But Wei Ting was the imperial envoy sent by the emperor, if Li Chengqian overthrew him and signed the document as soon as he arrived, the court's reputation would be ruined.What's more, there are such monasteries. If they are offended, it will be very unfavorable to the situation in Shandong Province.

The time for these loans was also after Li Chengqian moved Wei Shi, needless to say, this Wei Ting deliberately retaliated against him, and he couldn't say anything, and those rioters in Qingzhou must have been forced to rebel by him.

Letting go of the notebook in his hand, Li Chengqian asked in a deep voice: "Wei Qing, [-]% interest, what's the difference between this and a usury loan? Is this what you call public loyalty to the country? And the right to do things cheaply, isn't what you are doing? That's great, you mortgaged so much land, you really don't care about Tiantian."

Li Chengqian's words became less emotional the more he said them, but Wei Ting was not afraid, since the emperor would not kill him if he opened his mouth, then naturally he would not, even if Li Chengqian was the crown prince, what could he do to him.

Besides, if Li Chengqian risked the world to kill him, then the Li and Tang royal family would lose their trust with all the aristocratic families. This was not a wise choice for the emperor and his son.

Then he said: "Your Highness, in the year of catastrophe, thousands of miles away, the aristocratic families have no surplus food. Without high returns, how can they let people hand over the things at the bottom of the box to the government? I can't send servants to forcibly confiscate them." .Besides, didn’t His Highness get a batch of supplies from Dugu’s family? If you use them to pay the debt, it’s over. You can’t let the court lose its trust.”

Crack, clap, clap, Li Chengqian, who was sitting in the main seat, slapped Wei Ting, this Wei Ting was really interesting.It seems that he has made sure of this account, and the court must admit it, and because of the agreement between the emperor and the family, he is so confident.

"Okay, the Ledger Palace recognizes it, but you have to pay some responsibility for causing such a big loss to the court, right?"

"Didn't I be demoted to be the governor of Wuzhou? After explaining this, I rushed to Guizhou immediately, so I won't cause trouble for His Highness anymore."

Hehe, if he was allowed to leave so cheaply, then Li Chengqian would not be able to mess around in the future. Killing him would be cheap for him.Since you are confident, I will find you a good place.

"Hey, how can you display your talents in Wuzhou? The father and son are all talented in governing the country and the country. Going to Guizhou is really a waste of talent.

In this way, I would like you to go to Li Daliang to be a county magistrate, and take good care of those barbarians who are not transformed for the imperial court, so that they can also bathe in the glory of Confucius's way.Mr. Ling went to Lingnan Yuegong to be the master. What do you think? "

After hearing Li Chengqian's words, Wei Ting's face changed drastically. He never thought that Li Chengqian was so despicable that he sent his father and son to that bitter cold borderland, and the boss there had something to do with the East Palace. Isn't this going to torture his father and son to death? ?
"His Royal Highness, His Majesty has ordered me to be the governor of Wuzhou. You have no right to do so. Besides, I belong to King Wei. Don't you think about what King Wei thinks?"

Oops, I'm not so angry yet, you're so excited, right? So I slammed the table and said angrily: "Just like you exercise the right of cheapness bestowed by His Majesty, I also have the same right.

Don't say that assigning you a little governor to be demoted to border guards means killing your whole family is within the advantage.Dog, bargain with me, do you have the capital?

You still want to alienate the brothers of the Tian family, just because of this, I can kill you.Come here, take Wei Ting out of the dog, and set off the next day, there must be no mistake. "
