Daxia Wensheng

Insein 13 years.

July 25.

Following the promulgation of the imperial decree, the Great Xia Dynasty immediately attracted huge cheers.

The natural disaster is fixed.

This is the news promulgated by the court.

The imperial decree is very simple, and it basically revolves around Gu Jinnian's achievements, so that Gu Jinnian's prestige in the hearts of the people is even higher.

But the fact that the disaster has settled down does not mean that everything is gone.

For the Great Xia Dynasty, there will be more things to come.

The stabilization of the disaster and the aftermath of the disaster, these tasks are deeply troublesome.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the blessings of heaven and earth, the five oases appeared, and the country's fortunes were prosperous, and Gu Jinnian spread his merits to the people of Daxia, so that the people would have a positive attitude in their hearts, otherwise, there would be more troubles.

After all, now that we see hope, everyone is in a good mood.

But in the court hall, disputes have already begun.

In the hall.

Emperor Yongsheng sat on the dragon chair, and the forces of all parties were also fiercely disputed.

"The earthquake in Longxi County has controlled the situation at present, but the material and manpower needed should be the first. The fire in Donglin County has been extinguished, and the golden rain of merit has also stabilized the disaster situation in Donglin County. As for Nanyue County, the flood has already been destroyed No more, we should do our best to deal with the matter of Longxi County."

Hu Yong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, spoke, and he spoke directly in the court, regardless of other people's thoughts.

This aftermath and disaster relief is not a trivial matter.

Not only to stabilize the hearts of the people, but more importantly, political achievements. Now Longxi County is the crown prince's political achievements, Donglin County is the Qin King's political achievements, and Nanyue County is the Wei King's political achievements.

Jiangzhong County is better. After all, Jiangzhong County is in charge of Gu Jinnian. Even if there is no disaster in Jiangzhong County, it will not affect anything.

The Great Xia Dynasty is about to prosper, so the battle for the throne will become more intense, especially the Yongsheng Emperor has also been blessed this time.

Life is long, although there are no emperors who have lived for hundreds of years, considering the current situation, it is not a big problem to sit for another three to fifty years.

To put it bluntly, if Emperor Yongsheng passed away in the past two years, then they are really not afraid. The prince just needs to sit at home honestly, do nothing, eat and drink every day.

Seniority and inferiority are there.

Unless there is a big summer disaster, King Qin can solve it without any effort, but is it possible?
But now Emperor Yongsheng is obviously going to reign for decades.

How many things will happen in these few decades?This is simply a great thing for King Qin.

But for the prince, it is not a good thing.

Therefore, the prince's forces have already begun to prepare, not to target anyone, but to compete around the prince's interests.

The four major disaster areas all need to deal with the aftermath, and Jiangzhong County may be better.

But manpower and material resources including money, money and silver are all there is, and one thing can only be done first. Naturally, Hu Yong will work for the prince.

He himself is the henchman of the prince, and they naturally have to fight with each other in the face of this matter.

After all, if the disaster situation in Longxi County is resolved safely, then people in the world will not be able to say what is wrong with the prince, but instead, King Qin and King Wei are inefficient.

For court officials, everyone knows why.

But the common people don't know, looking at the situation in Longxi County, it has been properly resolved.

Look at your Donglin County, you are still slowly rebuilding your homeland, the people naturally have public grievances, but this public grievance is not against the court, but against the people who do things.

At that time, it will inevitably be formed, the prince is worthy of being a prince, and indeed he has strong means to solve these troubles at once.

Then the king of Qin was really useless, he just knew how to fight, and he didn't do anything to govern the country.

As long as such public opinion and topics are created, it is enough for them.

Under the ebb and flow, the crown prince's position is becoming more and more stable, and King Qin will never even think about taking the position.

Moreover, these matters were discussed privately by the prince's followers, and the prince was not informed, not to say that the prince should be ignored, but some things must be done by them, and it is not good to inform the prince, no matter what the prince means.

Agreeing, it seems that the prince is not benevolent, and his own brother also did it.

If you don't agree, is the crown prince willing to take the throne of King Qin?
This is how terrible and powerful the party members are. Some things are not decided by you, but whether everyone is willing, and one more point, does the prince really want to?
But as soon as Hu Yong finished speaking, someone stood up immediately.

"The minister does not agree."

"Your Majesty, among the four major disaster areas, only Jiangzhong County is not bad. The other three disaster areas all need a lot of manpower and supplies. I believe that three groups of people should go to the rescue. In this way, one can calm the hearts of the people. The second is to see how the princes are doing, and the third is to know the problem in advance."

"If you go to rescue Longxi County unilaterally, let's not talk about other things, how will the people think?"

"Furthermore, it will take at least half a year for Longxi County to rebuild. If it can be resolved after half a year, the army went to Donglin County and found many problems in Donglin County. What should we do?"

"A minute or a second of delay is not good for the Great Xia Dynasty."

"Therefore, please think twice, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Gu Leng's voice sounded, he was the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, but at this moment, speaking for King Qin naturally represented some different signals.

Everyone in the world knows that King Qin has a good relationship with the Gu family, and now that the Gu family has a unicorn, it is natural that the words of the Gu family are heavier than usual.

To put it bluntly, if the previous Gu family could control the position of the crown prince, the current Gu family is no longer as simple as left and right, and it is not a big problem to directly appoint him.

As long as Gu Jinnian comes to Emperor Yongsheng and says a word, it will do.

I think the prince is not good, but His Royal Highness King Qin is not bad.

Basically, His Royal Highness King Qin will be able to take over.

It's just that everyone also clearly understands that the Gu family will not do this. After all, at this size, neither the crown prince nor the king of Qin will trouble the Gu family. Even if any of them ascends the throne, the Gu family will always be the Gu family.

Doesn't the future emperor need to rely on the Gu family?
But if you get involved, what if the crown prince is able to ascend the throne?Is this hatred big?
Don't say that the emperor is magnanimous, but no one can be magnanimous.

So it is best not to participate. Of course, a few words of support are reasonable. For example, Gu Leng is like this now. He is not in support of King Qin, but to relieve the pressure on King Qin, but he also did not offend the prince.

This approach is the best.

Facing Gu Leng's opening, Yang Kai's voice could not help but resound.

"Gu Shilang, the old man doesn't agree. If the soldiers are divided into three groups, although they can be rescued at the same time, how slow is the process?"

"Nowadays, the five oases still need people to migrate. There are many things in the dynasty. Most of the power is divided into three groups. It will take at least two to three years to completely solve the difficulties of the three counties."

"If we concentrate our efforts on solving Longxi County, and then slowly settle the matter of Donglin County and Nanyue County, it is really impossible to let them migrate. Wouldn't that be a good thing?"

Yang Kai made a sound, his words are also supporting the prince, firstly he is indeed the prince's person, and secondly he approves of Hu Yong's plan.

Not entirely because of this struggle.

"Your Majesty, I also agree with Lord Hu's words."

"Chen, I also agree."

The next moment, the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry also agreed. The Minister of the Ministry of Households agreed that it was normal to concentrate their efforts on solving the problem, which would ease the finances of the Ministry of Households a little.

The reason why Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry agreed surprised many people. After all, the relationship between the Ministry of Industry and the prince is not so good.

In this matter right now, not to mention standing in line, but it is not bad. It is not very good to do so.

However, during this time, they also discovered that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites gathered together from time to time, and they didn't know what to do.

"Minister, I don't agree."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice shook his head, but still came out to refuse.

"The courtiers also don't agree."

Some Confucian officials also stepped forward, speaking together with some generals.

The scene was awkward for a while.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Yongsheng felt a little headache when he heard the controversy.

Yes.

The great summer disaster is over, which is a good thing, and five oases have been opened up, but it is precisely because of these five oases that it is a bit difficult to deal with now.

Once a natural disaster needs to deal with the aftermath, then the aftermath needs manpower, material resources, and financial support.

Disaster relief needs silver.

Opening up an oasis also requires silver.

Everyone needs money up and down, and everyone knows that the future of the Great Xia Dynasty is promising, but the problem is that if the current things cannot be solved, it will be troublesome.

After all, it’s great to give too much, but sometimes it’s not good enough.

It's like a beggar who is about to starve to death in a ruined temple outside the city, but at this moment, there is a table of delicacies and 1 taels of gold in front of him, and he can only choose one of the two.

If you choose delicacies, you will definitely not die of starvation, but you don't even want to take the 1 taels of gold.

Choose gold, that's fine, you can't be sure you'll be able to buy food next, what if there's no one around?

What is the use of having so much gold?Instead, drag yourself down.

Now that the oasis is in front of them, migration is a major event, and it is the most important thing, but the disaster is also in front of them.

Very headache.

"My dear gentlemen."

"Why don't we call on the people to go to the disaster area spontaneously, and be led by Daxia soldiers. Although we can't directly solve the aftermath of the disaster, at least it can reduce panic, how about it?"

When Emperor Yongsheng spoke, he thought of a way, which was to let the people do it spontaneously.

Just as soon as these words were said, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty shook their heads slightly.

"His Majesty."

"It's not that the people are unwilling, but that the people have to survive. If they go to work for nothing, it's unfair to them, and if they go spontaneously, the food they need will naturally have to be settled by the court, which is still an expense. "

"Including the place of residence, including personnel management and other matters, it will make a mess instead."

He Yan spoke, full of helplessness.

The idea is good, but it is unrealistic. The common people are not stupid. Donating a little money is almost enough. It is impossible to travel thousands of miles to provide disaster relief.

"I understand."

"What I mean is to promise gold and silver, and then reissue it after the court's tax returns."

Emperor Yongsheng was not stupid, no one would want to let the people work for nothing, but the Yinzi Daxia Dynasty does not have it now, and it can be seen in the future.

As soon as this remark came out, He Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, couldn't help thinking for a while.

"Your Majesty, this method is not impossible, but even if it is done according to this idea, I dare to ask Your Majesty, when will it be reissued?"

He Yan spoke up and asked Emperor Yongsheng.

"A year."

Emperor Yongsheng said a time limit, but when he said this, He Yan shook his head helplessly.

"One year is really too long. I'm afraid that the people will not agree, and it will easily lead to panic. If it cannot be fulfilled, it is not a good thing."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

He Yan said, one year is too long, it is not easy to deal with, it is equivalent to delaying someone's salary for a year, who wants it?

Even if the court agrees, so what?Money is the kingly way to get it, and everything else is meaningless.

"Can't wait a year?"

This time Emperor Yongsheng was a little annoyed.

"Your Majesty, one year is indeed a long time. The main reason is that there are long nights and many dreams. The common people are also worried. If someone spreads rumors during this period, it will be detrimental to the court."

Hu Yong spoke up and gave an answer.

Hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng was slightly silent.

The hall was also quiet.

"His Majesty."

"Sir, I have a suggestion."

At this moment, a voice sounded, it was Li Shan's voice.

I don't know why, since Li Shan came back from Jiangzhong County, he has been relatively reticent. In the past, Li Shan should have come forward for such things, but now he basically doesn't say anything.

Moreover, Emperor Yongsheng didn't say anything to Li Shan about many things.

Following Li Shan's opening.

Emperor Yongsheng just glanced at Li Shan briefly, which made the hall even quieter.

Normally, Emperor Yongsheng should have asked Li Shan to talk about his plan, but he took a special look and didn't give an answer, which made people feel a little weird.

It's just that Li Shan was not embarrassed, nor did he appear to be helpless, but stood quietly under the hall, waiting for Emperor Yongsheng to speak.

"Go ahead."

After a while, Emperor Yongsheng spoke up and asked the other party to tell the plan.

"Go back to Your Majesty."

"I believe that most of the manpower is still mainly attacking Longxi County. Master Hu Yong's words are correct. It is of great significance to solve Longxi County. If it is done quickly, if it can be handled properly within half a year, it can also inspire the army and the people."

"As for the matter of Donglin County and Nanyue County, it is true that the people can go there, but it is a bit long to end every year, and the end of March is considered appropriate."

Li Shan opened his mouth and offered a plan.

"The end of March, but the taxation will start next month. According to the estimated plan, there will not be too many. It is not a big problem to support it once. What should we do in the future?"

He Yan frowned, he didn't quite agree with this matter.

In Longxi County, Nanyue County, Donglin County, and Jiangzhong County, taxes cannot be paid.

The same is true for Jiangning County before. It is still during the tax-free period, how many can be collected?
It sounds good to settle every three months, but it can only be settled for one month at most, and the other money can only be delayed. It is impossible to deceive people and play hooligans, right?

If it's an extraordinary time, then forget it.

Now that the Great Xia Dynasty is flourishing, if you do this, who will agree?

"You can borrow money from the merchants to tide over the difficulties temporarily. Regarding the oasis, these merchants naturally know that the future development of the Daxia Dynasty will be like this. If they can help them at this time, the court will not treat them badly."

Li Shan opened his mouth and said so.

But when he heard about borrowing money from a merchant, Emperor Yongsheng was slightly silent, because Gu Jinnian also said the same thing.

This is indeed a good way.

But when it comes to businessmen, the voice of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment can't help but sound.

"Your Majesty, for this natural disaster, I heard that many chambers of commerce in Daxia did not donate silver. Does Your Majesty know the total amount of silver donated by countless wealthy merchants in the Jiangnan area?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment opened his mouth and looked at Emperor Yongsheng.

It's okay not to mention the businessman, but when the businessman is mentioned, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice can't help but speak.

"How much is the donation?"

Emperor Yongsheng frowned slightly, and at the same time looked at the other party.

"Then I have to ask Mr. He Yanhe."

The other party looked at He Yan.

This time, Emperor Yongsheng looked at He Yan and made some psychological preparations.

Feeling the gaze of Emperor Yongsheng, He Yan could only lower his head and speak a little.

"Total, 13 taels of silver."

He Yan made a sound.

13 taels of silver, which is not a small amount.

But for all chambers of commerce in the south of the Yangtze River, this 13 taels of silver is really a slap in the face.

Give the Great Xia Dynasty a slap in the face.

No one knows how many chambers of commerce there are in the Jiangnan area, but there are seven thousand if not [-]. The population of the entire Jiangnan area is close to [-] million. After all, Jiangnan is the collective name of the six counties.

The most prosperous place is naturally Jiangnan County.

A large Jiangnan County only gave 13 taels of silver. According to the Five Thousand Chamber of Commerce, almost one family gave 26 taels of silver.

"Ah."

"I heard that the rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River have at least 72 dishes for a meal, which is no worse than me. A chamber of commerce pays 26 taels of silver. Is it comparable to the price of a meal?"

"It's amazing, it's really amazing."

Emperor Yongsheng's eyes turned a little cold.

This is really powerful.

Obviously, it's not that these businessmen are stupid, but that these businessmen are too smart. If a big summer disaster happens, the first thing they think of is how to deal with civil strife.

They believed that the Great Xia Dynasty was bound to perish, so they held the money in their hands, and they didn't give them any face.

Otherwise, normally speaking, such mistakes would not be made.

"Then make the next order."

"He Aiqing, let the Great Xia Chamber of Commerce raise donations, or the court borrow money, in short, this matter must be resolved."

"The relocation of the oasis will be handled by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment. Tens of millions of people must be relocated within the five continents, and it will be completed within next year."

Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and issued his will.

I agree with the plan they said, first focus on Longxi County, let the people go to Donglin County and Nanyue County to help, don't talk about solving the matter seriously, it's good to ease the disaster.

Let's talk about other things.

"The minister waits for the order."

All the ministers spoke one after another, and since Emperor Yongsheng was sure, they had nothing to say.

However, at this moment, Hu Yong's voice continued to sound.

"His Majesty."

"I have another matter to announce, which is related to Mr. Wen Jing."

Hu Yong opened his mouth, looked at Emperor Yongsheng and said.

"What's the matter?"

Emperor Yongsheng asked.

"Your Majesty, at the time of the great summer calamity, there were two heroes of the Great Xia who took out the scriptures of the sages in the clan to save the people of the Great Xia. People who were born and bred, studied with great Confucianism since childhood, and now the two of them have applied for a job and want to be an official in the court, but because they have no fame, they ask His Majesty for instructions."

Hu Yong opened his mouth and told the story.

Mentioning this incident, Emperor Yongsheng roughly thought of these two people.

"It's Li Ruoyu and Lu Chengyan, right?"

Emperor Yongsheng asked.

"Return to the Holy One, yes."

Hu Yong nodded.

Speaking of these two, Emperor Yongsheng was somewhat satisfied.

"The two of them are good. When the great summer disaster happened, although Jinnian was the one who saved the common people in the great summer, the two of them also had a heart of innocence. They even took out two volumes of holy books. This is very good and deserves commendation."

"What does Hu Aiqing mean?"

Emperor Yongsheng praised the two people, because there is really nothing to say. At the critical moment, the two of them made a move. Although they did not achieve very good results, but the two volumes of sage scriptures, plus the fact that they stepped forward in times of crisis, this Not bad at all.

So bestowing an official is not a big deal, but the specific position still needs to be discussed.

"His Majesty."

"I believe that both of them are great Confucianists. They have achieved such achievements at such a young age. It's really great. Besides, they also have the heart of loyalty to serve the country, and they have contributed to the Great Xia Dynasty. They should set an example. As for the official position, it happens that the Ministry of Households is lacking. Two Yuanwailang, how about letting him work in the household department?"

Hu Yong opened his mouth and asked the two to go to the household department.

He Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he fell silent again, because it is indeed a troubled time for the household department, and it is a good thing to have two great Confucian scholars here.

So I didn't refuse, but I just felt that Yuanwailang's grade was a bit high.

"Yuanwailang?"

"allow."

"Add the title of Viscount, and serve as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, setting an example for the world."

Emperor Yongsheng was willing, Yuanwailang was a fifth-rank official, and he directly added the titles of Viscount and Shaoqing of Taichang Temple to the two of them.

The Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is a serious fourth-rank official. Although the viscount is the smallest title, he has completed the class reversal no matter what. At least he is a powerful person, not a simple courtier.

The reason for doing this is to set an example for the people of the world to be number one, but the most important thing is to let the people of the world know that Emperor Yongsheng will not just give Gu Jinnian benefits, which can be regarded as alleviating the discussion.

Otherwise, after this catastrophe is over, Gu Jinnian will take all the benefits by himself. Who is not jealous?
Furthermore, these two people are already great Confucianists at a young age, have great abilities, and are willing to enter the court as officials, no matter what thoughts they have, it doesn't matter.

Possessing the seal of the Son of Heaven, Emperor Yongsheng is really not afraid that the other party has evil intentions and wants to harm the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Hu Yong bowed immediately, and the officials followed suit.

"Since there is nothing wrong, let's retreat."

"Li Shan, I have something to talk to you about."

After solving this matter, Emperor Yongsheng turned his attention to Li Shan, and at the same time let all his officials leave.

Hearing this, many people couldn't help being shocked, leaving the Prime Minister alone. He didn't know what it meant, but it definitely wouldn't be a good thing.

In this way, Baiguan left.

In the main hall, only Emperor Yongsheng and Li Shan were left.

Your Highness.

Li Shan was extremely calm.

And Your Majesty.

Emperor Yongsheng, sitting on the dragon chair.

His gaze was extremely calm, his aura was also very calm, and the entire hall was strangely quiet, but this kind of quiet made people feel depressing and frightening.

"Do you have anything to say to me?"

The voice of Emperor Yongsheng sounded.

break the silence.

Under the hall.

Li Shan was expressionless.

"Sir, no."

Li Shan spoke, and this was his answer.

Hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng inevitably stood up and looked at Li Shandao.

"Li Shan."

"Do you know why you can become the current prime minister?"

Emperor Yongsheng made a sound and looked at Li Shan.

"Because His Majesty knows people."

Li Shan opened his mouth and answered calmly.

"Ah."

"You are right. I know people. I do know people. When you appear, I will know who you are."

"But I am not angry at all. I let you stay in the court. I recognize your talent. Everything you do, as long as you have meritorious service, I will give you an official title, and I will give it to Jiande and not to it." Your reward."

"Until today, I thought I could change your prejudices and thoughts in your heart, but what I didn't expect is that you are still you. In your heart, there is no Zhen, only Jiande."

When Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth, he spoke directly from his heart.

Li Shan was the eyeliner of Emperor Jiande, he knew this, he even knew it very early on.

But so what?He is not afraid, but instead wants to let Li Shan take over, because enemies on the surface are always less threatening than enemies in the dark.

So what if he killed a Li Shan?Wang Shan will come tomorrow, and Zhou Shan will come the day after tomorrow, can you stand it?

Instead of letting the opponent cultivate a bunch of chess pieces, it is better to let one person take the position and then target them.

But as time passed bit by bit, Emperor Yongsheng found that what he cared most about was not this, but to prove that he was better than Jiande.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to slander, I have always served the court."

The latter replied lightly, but without the slightest panic.

"I know, if you hadn't served the imperial court, you would have died thousands of times already."

Seeing the other party's expression and attitude, Emperor Yongsheng spoke slowly, then looked at the other party, and spoke directly.

"I just want to ask you a question, if Jiande is allowed to rule the Great Xia, can it be as brilliant as it is today?"

Emperor Yongsheng spoke.

He knew that it was almost impossible for Li Shan to discredit Jiande, but he still wanted an answer.

"Return to Your Majesty, history does not repeat itself, and there are no assumptions."

The other party opened his mouth and replied like this.

After receiving this answer, Emperor Yongsheng fell silent.

Inside the hall, it was extremely quiet.

"Come on."

"Great Xia Prime Minister Li Shan, during the disaster relief period, corrupted the law, disregarded human life, and sold information on military aircraft to the enemy country."

"Nine Yi tribes."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke lightly, and a trace of coldness and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

I have given Li Shan so many chances, but the other party is still like this until now, how can this make him not angry?
"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Shan spoke without panicking.

He is not afraid of Zhulian Jiuzu.

This made Emperor Yongsheng completely at a loss what to say.

Soon, some soldiers entered the hall and directly dragged Li Shan down.

then.

In less than half an hour, after the imperial decree was promulgated, the entire Great Xia capital was completely boiling.

The dignified prime minister, an existence under one person and above ten thousand people, was actually arrested and imprisoned, and he was implicated in the nine clans?

Six vibrations.

When Hu Yong heard the news, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only stare wide-eyed and said nothing.

And among the officials.

The voices of Li Ruoyu and Lu Chengyan sounded at this moment.

"Congratulations, Lord Hu."

When the two spoke, Hu Yong was taken aback.

"What's the congratulations?"

Hu Yong looked at the two with some doubts.

"Master Hu, Prime Minister Li has been abolished. Isn't the position of Prime Minister yours?"

"That's right, Mr. Hu worked hard, and how much he paid for the Great Xia Dynasty, whether it is a commoner or an official, can be clearly seen in his memory. How can a Great Xia Dynasty always be vacant of the position of prime minister? This full dynasty civil and military can be promoted to the position of prime minister. , and only Master Hu."

The two spoke, and they laughed out loud.

Congratulations to Hu Yong.

Hearing this, Hu Yong was a little silent. To be honest, it is a great thing to be able to take a step forward.

But when he heard that Li Shan's house was ransacked and that he was implicated in the nine clans, he was indeed a little shocked. He needed time to digest this matter, so even if the two were flattering, Hu Yong was not too happy.

a little.

After recovering, Hu Yong continued to speak.

"Let's not mention the aspect matter, let's talk about it later."

"You two said that there is iron evidence from the King of Qin. What do you mean?"

Hu Yong said, although the aspect is something he has been looking forward to, but now he knows that he should calm down and respond to all changes with the same. If at this juncture, he is very happy, he will not get any benefits.

What I have to do is to properly handle the tasks arranged by the court, and then surround the prince to eradicate dissidents.

This is the kingly way.

Even if he took a step back and said that the position of Prime Minister of the Great Xia was not given to him, at least he had handled the prince's affairs well. After the prince ascended the throne, sooner or later, this position would not be his own?

And it's not ostentatious, it kills two birds with one stone.

As for the eradication of dissidents, it is King Qin.

The crown prince's biggest enemy now is King Qin, especially the relationship between King Qin and the Gu family is getting better and better.

This is not a good thing for the prince.

Although Li Ji followed Gu Jinnian, the grandson was the grandson after all. No one knew what the attitude of the Gu family was.

Gu Jinnian did not publicly express his position. He wanted to support the grandson. He had said such things in the Confucian Mansion in Kyoto, but at that time it was mostly angry words, and he did not fully express his position.

Naturally, they, the prince's henchmen, wanted to suppress King Qin.

"Lord Hu, in the mountain fire of Donglin County, His Royal Highness King Qin asked the soldiers to rush into the fire in order to seek political achievements. 140 soldiers died in the fire in order to save a commoner."

"This kind of thing happened more than once, and we know that the casualties in Donglin County reached about 4000 people, of which 1 soldiers died unexpectedly."

"And all of this is because the King of Qin wants to make achievements, so he caused trouble."

Li Ruoyu made a sound, and while speaking, he produced some evidence, and these so-called evidences were military intelligence and the matter of the wounded.

Including the confessions of some surviving soldiers.

Seeing these criminal evidences, Hu Yong couldn't help gasping.

"If this is true, it is enough to impeach King Qin. In any case, it is not a big problem to force King Qin to surrender."

Hu Yong accepted these crimes, his eyes were extremely excited, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was elated.

indeed.

Among the three major disaster areas, Donglin County has the most deaths. Although the wildfires are ruthless, the number of casualties is indeed much higher than that of the other two places.

To put it in a small way, there is no way to deal with wildfires, and no one knows that there will be so many casualties.

On a bigger scale, it is no small matter that you sacrifice the lives of soldiers and soldiers for the sake of meritorious service. certain.

If it was King Qin, he could force King Qin to become a feudal clan. Once he became a feudal clan, the great danger would be gone.

Therefore, Hu Yong was very happy, extremely happy.

"After a thorough investigation by the old man, if it is true, the two of you have made great contributions. When the crown prince returns, the old man will report the matter to His Royal Highness. When the crown prince ascends the throne, the two of you will be regarded as servants of the dragon."

Hu Yong made a sound and looked at the two of them.

"Master Hu is polite, we two brothers are not asking for credit, but simply dislike what King Qin has done."

"Of course, it will be an honor for the two students if they can serve the prince, but no matter what the future holds, the students will always remember your kindness."

Li Ruoyu said, he looks handsome, and he speaks softly, plus he is a great Confucian, and now he is so humble, respectful to himself, to be honest, this makes Hu Yong enjoy it very much.

He has no shortage of people who can speak well, and there is no shortage of flatterers.

But he has never enjoyed the flattery of the Great Confucianism, and the two of them have a certain prestige, so naturally, Hu Yong enjoys it even more.

"You two are welcome."

"You two have already become great Confucian scholars at such a young age. This old man also admires this. Besides, this old man will eventually grow old. In a few decades, he will abdicate. The future of the world still belongs to you young people. "

"Diligent."

Hu Yong opened his mouth and said so, drawing in the relationship between the two.

"Adults teach, students understand."

The two stood up and bowed to Hu Yong, and Hu Yong also opened his mouth, mentioning how many daughters he had in his family, the meaning was simple, seeing that they are so handsome, they are talents, and they want to marry and bind them.

Li Ruoyu and Li Ruoyu didn't refuse, they followed Hu Yong's wishes.

That's it.

A few hours later.

Jiangnan area.

Looking south.

It is the No. [-] restaurant in Jiangnan County. It covers an area of ​​thousands of mu of land and is nine stories high. Those who can enter this restaurant are all dignitaries, and the higher you go, the higher your status.

At this moment.

At the top floor of Wangjiang River, nearly a hundred people gathered in it. There were eleven tables in total, ten people at each table.

There were delicious dishes on the dining table, but none of the people present moved their chopsticks, not because they didn't dare, but because they lacked appetite.

No appetite at all.

These people are all representatives of the Jiangnan County Chamber of Commerce, and can basically represent the entire Jiangnan County Chamber of Commerce.

Bringing these people together is not something ordinary people can do.

It's the Wu family.

Jiangnan Wu family.

The largest aristocratic family started with Emperor Taizu, and then followed Emperor Yongsheng when Emperor Yongsheng rebelled.

It's a double bet.

Naturally, the status of the Wu family in Jiangnan County is extremely high.

To put it bluntly, the imperial edict is not as good as a word from the Wu family in Jiangnan County.

If you want to do business in Jiangnan County, you have to get permission from the Wu family, otherwise, it's useless for anyone to come.

Not even a high official in Kyoto.

Let’s not talk about the merits of the ancestors of the Wu family, let’s just say that at present, among the five major military camps of the Great Xia, there are two major military camps, with the power of the Wu family. Home has a great relationship.

Moreover, the Wu family has two daughters who entered the palace, and they are now noble concubines.

Furthermore, all the officials in Jiangnan County, big and small, are not related to the Wu family?

It's okay, I can't get along anymore.

If there is a relationship, they are like a fish in water here, living a fairy life, this is the place of terror for the Wu family.

There are people in the hall.

There were also people in the palace.

There are also people in the military.

Even the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty, they all have people.

The Confucian family in modern times actually learned from the Wu family.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

The Wu family has already done this, and the Dajin Dynasty and the Fuluo Dynasty will not stand idly by if something big happens.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"Why did you ask us to come here?"

"It should be a matter for the imperial court. The great summer disaster is over. The money we donated together a while ago is only a little bit. The imperial court must be angry. I think it is for this matter that the Wu family brought us together. .”

"It should be this matter."

"Yeah, what should I do about this matter? I have a big head. If I had known this, I would have donated tens of thousands of taels back then. Now I don't know what to do. I have a headache."

"Don't say it, who is not, but fortunately I donated 100 taels of silver, at least not the minimum, do you know Lao Zhang? He donated [-] taels of silver, and something will happen when the time comes."

"Ten taels? I also know that shopkeeper Li only donated five taels of silver. This is a slap in the face of the court."

They talked a lot, and you said each sentence.

And right now.

A few figures came in through the gate.

As the figure appeared, everyone fell silent for an instant.

The leader is a middle-aged man, handsome in appearance, very temperamental, luxuriously dressed, and extraordinary in temperament.

This is the youngest of the Wu family, Wu Zhangyi.

Nowadays, the big and small businesses of the Wu family are basically handled by Wu Zhangyi, and Mr. Wu really intends to hand over all such big businesses to this young man.

After all, whether it is business or other aspects, Wu Zhangyi has really done a good job.

Compared with those few useless young masters, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling are fine, causing trouble everywhere, if not for the strong family, they would have been beaten to death long ago.

So facing Wu Zhangyi, everyone couldn't help but stand up one after another.

"I met Young Master Wu."

The representatives of the Chamber of Commerce stood up and bowed to Wu Zhangyi.

But Wu Zhangyi didn't speak, but said very respectfully to the people beside him.

"gentlemen."

"These are the representatives of the major chambers of commerce in Jiangnan County. Anything that is entrusted to them can be passed on layer by layer."

When Wu Zhangyi spoke, he was extremely polite to the people around him.

Only then did everyone start to notice the people beside Wu Zhangyi.

Very handsome.

Superb temperament.

Looking at this one, people have to let out a sigh in their hearts.

And this person.

It was Chang Yuntian.

Feeling everyone's eyes, Chang Yuntian didn't feel strange at all.

But he didn't say anything, just nodded with Wu Zhangyi.

present.

The latter came to the main table, asked everyone to sit down, and then said with a serious expression.

"Everyone."

"A catastrophe may be coming."

Falling with his voice.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion.
