He couldn't be clearer about the mission of his Su family, Xiao Mocheng is not bad or even very good, but it is still a fire behind this calm and experienced Seventh Prince. Su Weixin immediately glanced at the Nine Emperor Princes who looked confused and fuguine, and felt a little helpless in his heart, this nephew has always been spoiled, he is not only a royal treasure, but the entire Su family does not treat him as a bodhisattva.

However, Xiao Mocheng's attention was also drawn back by him after Xiao Moheng spoke up, and he wanted to listen to what good ideas this seventh brother had.

Emperor Xiao immediately raised his head when he heard this, he saw that it was Xiao Moheng, and he felt a lot more comfortable, this son has solved a lot of trouble for himself recently, and he easily does not speak, once he speaks, there must be a good way, so he immediately took a moment to wait, and said with a smile: "Although the emperor said..."

Xiao Moheng nodded and took the order, he saw that everyone was looking at him with earnest eyes, so he didn't sell Guan Zi, and said loudly: "Father, Pei Xiang and Su Xiang are reasonable, such public cases have to be investigated, but ......." He rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice: "... can't be thoroughly investigated," everyone nodded when they heard this, and they couldn't let it go completely, otherwise in a few years, their own ministers would have nothing to do, and everyone saw that he was safe and reasonable as soon as he opened his mouth, so they all listened intently to what he said.

"In this case, the imperial court must not only issue strict laws to curb the wind of annexation, but also convince these powerful officials to be willing to obey the dispatch of the imperial court," Xiao Moheng said slowly.

"Exactly. So what did the emperor come up with to get the best of both worlds? Emperor Xiao asked softly, with great hope in his heart.

Xiao Moheng replied with a smile: "Erchen thinks that the imperial court can issue a decree to set the number of land occupants and shaders according to the official rank, which can be more than the original legal office fields, but smaller than the number they actually occupy, so that they are more willing to occupy a little less land than they secretly occupy more land, so that they don't have to worry about the court all day long." Wait for the imperial court to set the calendar. He sent people to investigate all over the country, and all the excess land was cleared and divided into the fields of the imperial court, and the retainers thought that they would definitely cooperate. And those who do not cooperate are only a few heroes. As for such a strong place, Haoqiang. The imperial court sent troops to raid and raid the people. In this way, the upper can fill the treasury to be prepared, and the lower can appease the people so that the four people can work happily. Xiao Moheng analyzed in an orderly manner. In the end, I didn't forget to think calmly, Emperor Xiao bowed shallowly, and his demeanor was indifferent and elegant.

Everyone looked at Xiao Moheng fixedly, only to see his long and handsome figure standing outstanding, the perseverance and atmosphere revealed in the tone made people feel that he had a convincing sincerity and self-confidence, his method of killing two birds with one stone was really wonderful, and all the ministers secretly appreciated it, it seems that this Seven Princes can not only lead the three armies to gallop across the field, but also plan good strategies to cross the court, such a bearing is really a king's demeanor!

Many ministers have this kind of sigh in their hearts and are secretly frightened, now the Nine Emperors have a tendency to sit on the throne, if the Seven Princes take advantage of the situation to chase after them, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no secret war between the two tigers in the future, and the situation is uncertain is not what the courtiers want to see.

"Good!" After listening carefully, Emperor Xiao felt that this method really solved the big crisis in front of him, and it was not very difficult to operate, and it would not cause major turmoil, it was really a wonderful plan to get the best of both worlds, "The emperor's policy is the best policy," Emperor Xiao couldn't help but approve, and then he looked at the courtiers and said, "Do you still have objections from the Qing family?" ”

Xie Hui immediately bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Seventh has taken into account this law, which can not only correct the local atmosphere, but also eliminate bad habits and remnants, and the minister is willing to assist Pei Xiang in formulating this law and promulgating it throughout the country." ”

Even if Xie Hui knew that Huiji might also suffer from the disaster of the pond fish, but since Xiao Moheng opened this mouth, then he must have his reason, Huiji is not only the territory of the Xie family, but also the place where he Xiao Moheng eats, I believe that he will not lift a stone to hit his own feet, and Xie Yuanxiu is now pregnant, once the child is born, he will be Xiao Moheng's eldest son, of course, the premise is that he gives birth to a son.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Xie Hui wants to firmly support Xiao Moheng, because from these few times, Xiao Moheng has the momentum to win the heir, and Xiao Mocheng obviously has no place for the Xie family to stand, so for the glory and wealth of the Xie family, he must choose Xiao Moheng.

After hearing this, all the ministers looked at Pei Yun slightly, the ministry is obviously the core department of the plan, Pei Yun has been thinking about this method just now, and feels that it is quite feasible, he saw that Xie Hui spoke, and he did not want to fall behind, so he immediately answered: "What Xie Xiang said is that the minister is willing to preside over this work, share worries for His Majesty, and seek benefits for the people!" ”

Two of the three prime ministers in the court spoke, and the ministers immediately took advantage of the situation and expressed their approval of the strategy of the Seventh Highness and supported the measures of Pei Xiang and Xie Xiang.

Emperor Xiao was quite satisfied when he saw this, and he turned his gaze to Su Weixin, and now he was just waiting for him to speak.

Su Wei was confident that he knew the general trend, and he had to obey, but Xiao Moheng's method was indeed a compromise, and presumably the interests of the Su family would not be greatly damaged, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Emperor Xiao stroked his palms and smiled, "Okay! It is rare that the Zhongqing family is so virtuous and dedicated to politics, and I am really comforted, so this matter will be handed over to Pei Aiqing and Xie Aiqing, and the Seven Princes can consult among them, formulate a plan before the year, and start implementing it after the year! ”

"Wait for the order!" The ministers replied in unison.

At this time, Xiao Moheng saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he continued: "Father, since this move was proposed by the son, the son-in-law will set an example, and as soon as the plan comes out, it will be implemented in Huiji County first!" ”

At this time, Shang Shu's servant shot Wang Xuzhi and said: "Your Majesty, you can start the investigation from the minister's house!" ”

In the imperial history, Cheng Qi Xiuling spoke up again: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that the Jingguan and Huiji County start the inventory at the same time, so that the effect will be more obvious!" ”

"Minister's approval!"

"Agreed!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

The ministers under the hall all echoed openly, after all, they would indeed be able to occupy Tianke in a dignified manner in the future. Even if there are fewer Tian Ke, it is better than accidentally losing the official hat one day.

Emperor Xiao looked at the ministers who bowed down and seconded the proposal, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as the ministers in the capital can work together, implement it wholeheartedly, and the three Wu can lead the implementation, then this strategy will be half successful. And at the moment, Xie Hui and Pei Yun are not a problem, but Su Weixin is quite dissatisfied in his heart, and he will appease and appease him afterwards.

Now that the event has been decided, and the hour is already noon. After arguing for a long time, the ministers finally realized that they were hungry. So Emperor Xiao smiled and said: "Today, all the ministers are eating in the palace!" Then he glanced at Xu Huaiyuan, and Xu Huaiyuan immediately went out to order the imperial dining room to prepare food.

After the ministers retreated, Emperor Xiao instructed Hua Jin to let the three princes and Su Weixin stay. Emperor Xiao specially had lunch with Xiao Mocheng and Su Weixin first.

After the meal, Emperor Xiao rinsed his mouth with tea. Then he looked at Su Weixin, whose face was a little indifferent, and said, "Su Qing." I know you've been wronged! ”

When Su Weixin heard this, he immediately bowed down and said, "The minister doesn't dare..." But the tone was still a little indifferent.

Emperor Xiao smiled helplessly and comforted: "After the inventory is completed next year, I will reward you with some good Zhuangzi!" "When an emperor wants to appease his ministers to this extent. It's really hard to say, although the Su family retreats humbly, but in fact, it is in charge of several lifelines of Dahuan, Sanwu is the richest place in Dahuan, but Wu County is the head of Sanwu, it is not a lie to say that the Su family is rich in the world, and Su Weixin is also the post of General Wei, in charge of the palace guard battalion, this position is related to the stability of the entire palace and even the capital, although Emperor Xiao trusts the Su family, it is also a helpless move, who would be willing to hand over his net worth and life to others, but at the moment, the family is a special soldier, the emperor hangs the arch, Emperor Xiao had to do this for a while.

Su Weixin saw that Emperor Xiao seemed to have some requests, and his heart was also quite uneasy, remembering the situation in the court just now, he finally put down his face, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister is not worried about a few acres of fertile land, the reason why the minister is angry is because the ministers of the court and the central government jointly attacked the Su family, and his heart is quite sentimental, the minister knows that His Majesty takes care of the Su family, and the minister does not dare to embarrass His Majesty!" ”

Emperor Xiao didn't see this, and he also felt in his heart that Pei Xie was squeezing out the Su family, so he immediately held his somewhat trembling shoulders and said with relief: "Okay, okay, I know in my heart that I have my own judgment, don't be sad!" Emperor Xiao glanced at Xiao Mocheng,

Xiao Mocheng immediately got up and came over to support him, and comforted: "Uncle, don't worry about it, I think this matter will have to be investigated sooner or later, anyway, the Xie family is not much better, Pei Xiang also wants to get a piece of the pie, these are all reasonable, uncle, don't think about it, let it pass!" ”

Su Weixin also stopped his tears under the persuasion of the two, no matter what he said, it was unreasonable to let an emperor and a prince comfort a minister like this, so Su Weixin immediately apologized and said: "The minister is rude, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Xiao smiled when he heard this, "Look at you, you have been by my side for so many years, and you are polite to me, but you really have to cheer up, let go of today's affairs, and take care of the birthday banquet of the Taibao!" ”

Su Weixin was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that in such a busy season as the New Year, Emperor Xiao was still worried about his father's birthday, and his heart was still quite moved, so he immediately smiled and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, this year's Sanwu turmoil, Wu County has also suffered a lot, and the minister is ready to simply celebrate!" ”

“… How can this be done, life is rare for seventy years, Su Taibao has been an important minister of the three dynasties, and the birthday banquet is still grander, I have already ordered it to go down, let the ancestral hall prepare a congratulatory gift, don't let people underestimate your Su family? Emperor Xiao approached him and said with a smile.

Su Weixin saw that Emperor Xiao was so heartfelt, and he was also quite grateful, so he also smiled and said: "The minister is according to His Majesty's wishes!" ”

"Okay, you're tired today, Cheng'er, send your uncle home by the way!" Emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Mocheng and said.

"Erchen understands!"

Su Weixin immediately got up and excused himself: "Don't dare to bother Your Highness!" "Although Xiao Mocheng is his nephew, in the end, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and the etiquette has to be passable.

Xiao Mocheng didn't care about his humility, and thought about Emperor Xiao with him, and then pulled him out of the palace to prepare to leave the palace.

Emperor Xiao looked at the backs of the two of them in a daze, because of the support of the Su family, he also felt quite relieved to let Xiao Mocheng inherit the throne, now thinking about it, these nobles are still planning for private households after all, if Xiao Mocheng is allowed to succeed to the throne, I am afraid that the Su family will one day be powerful.

Whenever I think of these dictatorial clans, Emperor Xiao will think of Xiao Moheng, the seventh prince, this son can lead the army and fight on the outside, and can plan and govern the government inside, and it seems that he does not need to rely on those clans at all, although the Xie family has always supported him, but Emperor Xiao has always felt that Xiao Moheng is controlling the Xie family, not the Xie family controlling Xiao Moheng, which is much stronger than Xiao Mocheng.

So Emperor Xiao whispered to Xu Huaiyuan: "Quickly announce the seventh prince and the eighth prince." ”

"Yes..."Xu Huaiyuan immediately went out of the apse and led the two of them in after receiving the order.

Xiao Moheng and Xiao Moxuan came together, and they both bowed their hands and said, "My son asks my father for peace!" ”

Emperor Xiao looked at the two people who had always been courteous, and felt a little bored, these two sons have always been more distant from themselves, in fact, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister is more than the love of father and son, when Emperor Xiao thought so, he completely forgot that he favored Xiao Mocheng and ignored the fact that the other sons, when the prince was in power, Emperor Xiao would at least care about the prince's cultivation, but after the prince left Beijing, there seemed to be only one Xiao Mocheng in Emperor Xiao's eyes.

Emperor Xiao waved his hand helplessly and motioned for the two to sit down.

Emperor Xiao wanted to test whether the two of them also had the intention of competing for the prince, but he looked at Xiao Moxuan's meaningless expression, knowing that he only wanted his body to get better, and he didn't seem to care about the rest, so Emperor Xiao asked out loud: "Xu'er, it's the middle of winter, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Moxuan saw that Emperor Xiao cared about his body, and he was also very moved in his heart, and immediately bowed down and replied: "Father Xie is worried, and his son has been conditioned by Jiang Yinu, and now his body is much better, and he has slowly improved!" Xiao Moxuan responded with a happy face.

Although Xiao Moxuan was indeed very grateful for his father's inquiry, his cautious behavior was very unpleasant in the eyes of Emperor Xiao, wasn't it normal for him to care about his son, why did he seem to have received a lot of favor.

Obviously, the emperor is the emperor, and he will never find the reason in himself, and Xiao Moxuan is too afraid of himself, and he shortens the family relationship between father and son.

And Xiao Moheng, who was sitting on the side, obviously took Emperor Xiao's reproachful look in his eyes, Xiao Moheng, whose heart was like a mirror, was a little sour, royal fatherly love is a luxury, he never forced or wanted to ask, in his eyes, the person in front of him was just his king, he didn't want to respect him as a father, because he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father,

In Xiao Moheng's eyes, he is a cowardly man, because he is only good at playing some tricks of checks and balances, but he didn't think that one day he would be able to control the world by himself, and because he failed to protect Xiao Moheng's mother back then, he was forced to beat her into the cold palace under the pressure of the court, and then let her die alone in the cold palace.

Fourteen years have passed, and the hatred in my heart has long faded, leaving only a faint sadness. (To be continued......)
