Chapter 351: A Closer Analysis
This adult surnamed Lin has too many eyes.
He just told his father that there were only 100,000 taels in the house, why did he suddenly have an extra 10,000 taels?
This bribe father doesn't need to be like this, right?
The surnamed Lin has already paid the truth to his father, and the silver in his house has gone to the sea, but it is more than 100,000 taels.
Gu Wang Ye also understood, but the words had already been said here, and it was impossible to let the family take the money again.
Besides, let Lord Lin take more money to the court, and Prince Gu will not be able to benefit from it.
Just 110,000 taels.
Gu Wang Ye stroked his beard and said, "Okay, that's it." I will give 100,000 taels of silver to the emperor and let the emperor use it as military expenses, so that the emperor will be happy, and maybe he will forgive you from your sins. ”
This kind of thing Gu Wang Ye also has the bottom in his heart, the emperor will not kill Lord Lin.
At this time, there is not much power in the emperor's hands, and the emperor's stabilization of the situation is the most important thing.
To put it bluntly, no one is afraid of things, but the emperor is afraid of things.
If there is something big about sesame, the emperor will work hard to press it down, and the big things will be turned into small things, and the small things will be turned into small things.
For the stability of the imperial court.
So Gu Wangye is actually not afraid, he is just pretending on the surface, so that the person surnamed Lin is afraid, and it would be good to be more restrained when he does things in the future.
Otherwise, who would put Gu Wang Ye in his eyes?
Gu Wangye can also be regarded as taking advantage of this incident to give the rich people around Jinling a lesson from the past, so that they can also see the fate of the chaos.
In fact, Gu Wangye didn't want to take some benefits from it, to be honest, the Gu family was not short of money.
It's just that at this point, Lord Lin must bribe Gu Wang Ye and give him 10,000 taels for his life.
People are desperate to give money, if Gu Wangye doesn't accept it, he won't come to trouble.
Besides, why not give money?
Gu Wang Ye promised Lord Lin and sent him away.
When the guests left, Gu Zizhong and his brother avoided it, and when the guests were gone, the two of them came back.
Gu Wang Ye was about to go back to the house, but he ran into his son and daughter.
"Why are you two here?"
Gu Wang Ye still wondered!
Gu Zizhong said with a smile: "Father, it's all too late, why is Lord Lin still here?"
Gu Wang Ye paused, was silent for a moment, and asked solemnly, "Did you all hear what Lord Lin and I said?"
Gu Zizhong and his brother both nodded.
Gu Wang Ye asked the two of them to enter the study and closed the door.
Now there were three of them in the house, father and son.
Gu Wang Ye opened the skylight and said brightly: "Lord Lin, he made a mistake, and the emperor knew about the sale of private salt. Even if the emperor doesn't deal with him, I'm afraid that he will use this as an excuse to seize our handle in the future. Lord Lin is my person after all!"
Gu Shizi said: "The child knows his father's suffering. The emperor is now on an unstable throne, and he is afraid that the vassal kings of various places will rebel, so he guards against everyone. Naturally, we are also in the emperor's suspicions. ”
Gu Wangye said: "Who does the emperor want to kill, isn't that a matter of words? As long as there is an excuse, the emperor can justifiably kill the courtiers." Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, our Gu family has enjoyed a lot of blessings with the imperial court, but it has also become very dangerous at this time. In case the emperor doesn't worry about us......"
I don't dare to think much about this "what if".
I closed my eyes and thought, is that worth it?
It's all comfortable.
Ling Chi's words are a catastrophe.
Zhulian Nine Clans?
Now only the six tribes living in the world are afraid that no one will be left.
Gu Wangye saw it through, but he couldn't guess it.
After all, whether the emperor wants to attack the Gu family or not is a matter of the future, who can say for sure?
Gu Zizhong had been a queen for so many years in her previous life, could she not understand this kind of thing?
She said bluntly: "The emperor wants to win over his courtiers now, so naturally he will not punish others casually." The emperor not only guarded against the vassal king, but also wanted to use the vassal king to win over the vassal king. And I thought that although our Gu family did not have military power, they were also co-opted. So in my opinion, instead of handing over the 100,000 taels, it is better for my father to only hand over half of them, and the remaining half to take care of the people in the court, so that Lord Lin will definitely not die, and the Gu family will not be lonely because of this. ”
Gu Wangye stared at his daughter, his expression was like a mixed taste.
He didn't expect that such a young daughter could understand this truth.
Gu Wangye nodded again and again: "You are right." Father had this in mind. ”
Gu Zi said heavily: "Also, we don't want to accept the 10,000 taels given by Lord Lin, we will give it to the people in the court, and no one really wants it, so we will give it to the Jinyi guard, the imperial guard or something, and they can also chant in the emperor's ear and help us with good words." ”
Eat other people's short mouths, take other people's soft hands!
Gu Wang Ye agreed, after all, the Gu family did not lack that money.
"Alas......" Gu Wang Ye sighed, looking very helpless.
Gu Zizhong smiled: "Father is not in a hurry because of this, right? Zizhong guessed in vain, my father must have thought that the emperor would not take this matter to heart at all." ”
Gu Wang Ye did think so in his heart, but he was curious: "How do you know?"
Gu Zizhong chuckled lightly and said, "Father is really in a hurry, it won't be like this." So Zizhong guessed that the emperor would definitely not take this matter to heart. Because the Japanese were so ferocious, the Tatars were also eyeing beyond the Shanhai Pass. The emperor is still too busy with the government, where does he have time to deal with this matter?"
Gu Wang Ye nodded, he really didn't have anything to say to praise his daughter.
Gu Zizhong continued: "The emperor is only afraid of turning a blind eye to this kind of thing, for fear that others will talk about this matter, so we don't have to worry, the emperor himself will suppress this matter." ”
Gu Wangye also hardened up at this time: "So on the one hand, the emperor is guarding against us, and on the other hand, he is also thinking about how to use us! My Gu family also has a place that the court can use, and the emperor has to give me face and suppress this matter." ”
Fifty thousand taels is enough for a little military spending.
After all, if there is really a big event, no matter how much money the treasury has, it is impossible to use this money to get grain and grass.
Gu Shizi looked at his sister on the side, and admired it very much: "I really didn't expect Zizhong that you know much more things than me." When you are a brother, you must admire you. ”
Gu Zizhong has encountered a lot of this kind of thing in her previous life, she doesn't understand it anymore, isn't that a fool?
She smiled: "Brother, don't make fun of me. I'm just worried about Zhu Shizi, if it weren't for the fact that there were people from Lord Lin's family in Zhu Shizi's team, I wouldn't care about this!"
Gu Wangye praised again and again, stared at his daughter, and said, "Don't worry, Zhu Shizi will definitely be able to come back safely in less than three days." I have already discussed with Zhu Wangye, and as soon as Zhu Shizi comes back, you will get married immediately. ”
