Chapter 151: Grounding
Han Xiu always thought that he was the emperor, and the emperor was omnipotent, and he should do whatever he wanted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
However, this time Shi Jiao'e secretly poisoned him and made him sleep all day, this matter was like a basin of cold water, which poured a cold on his head, and made his brain, which had always been self-righteous, also sober up a lot.
"Aiqing, I've been under too much pressure lately, and I've been carried away by trivial matters......" Han Xiu stretched out his hand, personally supported Zhang Li, and said in a sincere tone, "I know that you are loyal, and I shouldn't have turned you away from the door and listened to your advice." β
He spoke earnestly, with a look of remorse. However, his words not only did not move Zhang Li, but he felt a chill all over his body - it is not terrible for a person to be confused, but the terrible thing is that he suddenly woke up, and he also knew how to forbear, and learned to bend and stretch, which is the most terrifying.
Zhang Li is a strategist, and as the head of Nanxiang's strategists, his strategy and mind are naturally not bad. Although he is not as able to grasp people's hearts perfectly as Shi Wen, he can see through Han Xiu's disguise at a glance.
No matter how kind and polite Han Xiu was, he couldn't hide the resentment and murderous intent in his eyes.
Han Xiu wants to kill him!
In Zhang Li's heart, he realized this very clearly.
"Your Majesty ......" Zhang Li arched his hand and made an ordinary salute. Originally, before entering the palace, he had already thought of countless words of advice to Han Xiu, but at this time, when the words came to his lips, he took them back.
Han Xiu wants to kill him!
Han Xiu wants to kill him!
Scold! The king he wholeheartedly assisted had murderous intent against him before the throne was secured! In that case, what else does he advise, and what does he do to help him keep the world?
At this moment, Zhang Li suddenly felt a little anxious, and had the idea of staying away from the imperial court.
"Zhang Aiqing, you came in time, and I have something important to discuss with you." Han Xiu didn't see Zhang Li's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder with a kind face, and said, "Since the flood in the southwest, I have always had trouble sleeping. A few days ago, he was stabbed by King Liang, and he was even more emotionally tense, seeing that everyone seemed to want to rebel, so he did wrong things again and again. β
Han Xiu said as he observed Zhang Li's reaction.
Seeing that Zhang Li was not moved by himself, but kept his head down, and after not saying a word, he immediately frowned.
However, after all, he was a little sober, and he didn't get angry, but said more kindly, "I know that I have done a lot of wrong things, so I want to ask Zhang Aiqing, how can I turn around in this situation?" β
Zhang Li still hung his head, unable to see the expression on his face: "The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, the reincarnation of the heavenly dragon, and he has the blessings of heaven to protect him." β
This sentence is equivalent to not saying it!
Han Xiu's brows furrowed again, and his face was already a little impatient: "I still have something to worry about, I wonder if Aiqing has a way to help me solve my problems?" β
Then, he didn't wait for Zhang Li's reaction and continued: "In the past few days since I was injured, the queen actually went to the court in person and interfered in the affairs of the court. I'm worried that the Shi family has already rebelled! But most of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were selected by Shi Wen at the beginning, and they were all lackeys of the Shi family! What should I do so that the queen can stay in the palace with peace of mind and no longer interfere in the affairs of the court? β
This matter is indeed a big problem in Han Xiu's heart.
He wanted to put Shi Jiao'e under house arrest and not allow her to step out of the Zhaoyang Palace. However, the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem are almost all from the Shi family, and their orders to him are always in disobedience.
Last time, he said that Shi Jiao'e was not allowed to leave the palace again, but no one listened to him at all.
In this way, how can he limit Shi Jiao'e's actions? If it can't be restricted, then wouldn't she still go to court every day and continue to meddle in the affairs of the court?
And the old thief of Mingde!
How can this person be eradicated?!
Zhang Lishou stood aside and was silent for a while, and then said, "Doesn't the emperor have a Yulin army?" Nowadays, the palace guards should be very easy to keep the boundary between the vestibule and the harem. As for the emperor, you can stay in the imperial study for a few days......"
Zhang Li's voice was a little dryβthis should be the last time he would give advice to Han Xiu.
It's time for him to arrange a way back for himself!
β¦β¦
A mansion in the capital.
King Yue stood in front of the red sandalwood table, looking at the silver ticket in his hand, his expression was pale and constantly changing.
He didn't want to be greedy for food and salary, but Han Xiu put him in the military department. Seeing that so much food was right in front of him, with it at his fingertips, how could he endure it? It took him countless efforts to get 100,000 stone of grain through speculation, and he finally exchanged a few silver tickets. However, Shi Jiao'e just wanted him to spit it out all these words.
Why?
How could he be reconciled?
What made King Yue even more dissatisfied was that he was in a hurry to sell the stolen goods, and the grain was sold to grain merchants at low prices. However, at that time, there was no flooding, and the new grain was about to come down, and the price of the old grain was very low.
Later, not long after he sold the grain, there was a sudden flood in the southwest, and the price of grain went all the way to the sky, and it could rise several times a day.
The crazy increase in food prices made King Yue almost destroy his intestines. If he had known that there would be a flood in the southwest, he would have kept the grain in his house and waited until the price of grain was high.
"Shi Jiao'e! It's too much of a deception! King Yue lowered his head and looked at the silver ticket in his hand with resentment.
At the beginning, in order to quickly sell the stolen goods, he converted so much grain into silver tickets at a low price and put it directly into his small treasury. But now, Shi Jiao'e threatened him to return all the embezzled grain within three days.
How can he have so much food?!
Even with these silver tickets in his hand, he can't buy 100,000 stone of grain!
Now that food has become sky-high, it would be good to be able to buy back one-third of these silver tickets in his hand!
The more King Yue thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was reluctant to exchange the silver ticket in his hand for food. Shi Jiao'e said that he must send the grain back, and 100,000 stone is not missing at all! With such strict requirements, he couldn't wait to break Shi Jiao'e's body into pieces!
"Lord, since the queen wants food, then we will give her food!" King Yue's adviser said, "Didn't you say last time that the emperor left a lot of food for the border passes, enough for the officers and soldiers to eat until the New Year?" Why don't we bring this grain back first, and when this year's new grain comes down and the price of grain falls, you can replenish the grain back for the soldiers. β
