Chapter 20: Listen to the heavens
The national capital is Xianyang.
At midnight, the Afang Palace was still brightly lit.
The candle burns and makes a sizzling sound.
The chamberlains and palace maids all held their breath and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of alarming the man in the dark robe on the dragon chair.
"These remnants of the Six Nations are really tired of being alive, and they dare to take advantage of the disaster relief stall to embezzle food and wages? Li Si, this is what you said to the widow? Event? ”
Ying Zheng's face turned pale and he threw the song to the ground, and his eyes showed a cold glow.
Since pacifying the world, he has worked hard and never slackened, in order to open up the foundation of eternity for future generations and establish an eternal empire!
Therefore, he called himself the first emperor, thinking that the hegemony of all generations would start from here, and the country would continue for all generations.
How do you think that the descendants of the nobles of the six countries are still not satisfied, and they still rely on their noble birth and common people.
"What are they trying to do? Do you force a widow to be a tyrant? Okay, Li Si, you will pass on the widow's order now, and anyone involved in this corruption case will be punished by the Nine Clans and will not be tolerated! ”
"Your Majesty, you first dissipate your anger, the matter of disaster relief, the minister has already sent someone down to deal with it, the world is decided, at this time, stimulate those nobles of the six countries, I am afraid that I will give people a handle, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
Li Si picked up the pieces scattered on the ground one by one, looking bitter.
In just one night, 364 people have been disposed of because of the disaster relief and corruption, and if this continues, people will be panicked, and they will not know what kind of chaos will be caused by then!
Ying Zheng sighed and sat down at the front of the steps.
"Aiqing's concerns, how can the widow not know, it's just that it's easy to fight the world, but it's too difficult to rule the world. Those old people of the Six Nations are all moths of this country, they can't be killed, and they can't be released, if only someone could understand the heart of the widow. ”
Looking at the stack of pieces in Li Si's hand, Ying Zheng smiled bitterly.
In the past few days, there has been either a famine, or there have been people who have been corrupt and derelict in their duties, or who have rebelled.
Isn't there one that can make the widow feel at ease for a while?
Hearing Yingzheng say this, Li Si also had a cold sweat on his face.
In the past few days, the whole court, inside and outside the court, has been full of rumors.
Your Majesty hasn't even entered the harem for half a month.
He knows too well what kind of temper his boss is.
If there is any trouble below to annoy Long Yan, then he will be the prime minister who will rush first.
Suddenly, Li Si flipped to a piece of music from Surabaya County, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Majesty, there's really an interesting thing here."
"Oh? If you still have such a noisy thing, you will be fined for half a year! ”
Li Si trotted all the way over and respectfully handed over the piece.
Ying Zheng took the concerto, only glanced at it, let out a burst of surprise, and then looked at it carefully.
After a moment, he put down the piece and muttered:
"What is this 'Hibiscus'? How valuable is it? That kid named Chu Yang is so powerful, just by virtue of this owner, he has earned a net worth of 10,000 yuan? ”
"Yushi has already sent someone to send the 'Hibiscus Tuo' over, and the minister will send someone to get it!"
Li Sichong beckoned to a chamberlain next to him, whispered a few words, and the man walked out of the hall quickly.
Ying Zheng nodded, and his gaze fell back on the cantata.
"What do you think of the two poems on the cantata?"
Li Si thought for a moment and replied:
"Your Majesty, the minister prefers the first one, especially the sentence that is drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo laughs, which is deeply rooted in the essence of my old Qin people, and goes to the national disaster together, this poem sounds extremely pleasant! As for the second song, beauty is beautiful, that is, some children have grown up. ”
"And what if the widow says he likes the second one?" Ying Zheng has a bit of a playful taste.
"How is this possible!"
Li Si looked at Ying Zheng with a surprised expression.
Everyone knows that this boss is a rare male lord in five hundred years, such a person's heart is higher than the sky, and he looks at the world, how can he take this kind of childlike thing to heart?
Could it be that this song "When Will the Bright Moon" have any meaning that I can't taste?
"Hey, it seems that Aiqing still hasn't arrived for this poem......"
Ying Zheng was rarely a little proud, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace...... The simple four sentences seem to be talking about the moon, but in fact they are calling for Mingjun......"
"Especially this sentence, the height is unbearable, isn't this a true portrayal of the widow...... This person named Chu Yang is half a bosom friend of the widow. ”
"As for the last sentence, I hope that people will live together for a long time, don't you just hope that the widow can live for 10,000 years, so that he will have the opportunity to come and work for the widow?"
Ying Zheng smiled a little smugly on his face.
On the surface, this is a lyrical scene, but in fact it is a Mingzhi poem, this young man named Chuyang, clearly expresses his expectations for the widow! I can't imagine that the widow has such prestige among the people, and when someone comes to bring wine, the widow will get drunk today! ”
"This ......"
Hearing this, Li Si looked confused.
It turns out that the poem can still be interpreted in this way?
But everything doesn't matter anymore, Your Majesty said that it was Mingzhi poetry, then it must be Mingzhi poetry, there will be no mistake!
He silently remembered the name "Chu Yang", and His Majesty seemed to attach great importance to this young man, and he must make friends when he has the opportunity.
It didn't take long for a waiter to bring the wine, and after Ying Zheng drank three glasses in a row, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Aiqing, what do you think of the matter between him and that Yuelaixuan?"
"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to help this Chu Yang?"
Li Si observed Ying Zheng's expression and said thoughtfully:
"Just with 'Furong Tuo', you can earn a fortune, this Chu Yang does have something to do, but in this game, I'm afraid he will still lose. That Yue Lai Xuan has been famous all over the world since the previous dynasty, and the family background is quite strong, and the price war between the two sides, Baolai Pavilion has no chance of winning at all, and it is just a dying struggle now. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Ying Zheng and said cautiously:
"Your Majesty, shall we help him?"
"No chance of winning? Haha, this will Aiqing look away! ”
Ying Zheng flipped out another piece from the side and threw it casually.
"Take a closer look."
Li Si took the piece and hurriedly looked at it.
"What! All the wagons sent out by the Treasure Pavilion were empty boxes? How so! ”
Being able to serve as the prime minister of a country, Li Si is naturally not stupid, and he instantly figured out the key to it, and his face was shocked.
"Could it be that the news released by Chu Yang before was all fake? He didn't spread the goods towards Surabaya County, but tricked Yue Lai Xuan into lowering the price? ”
"Shhh...... What a ruthless method! If what he said is true, then according to the current market, Yue Lai Xuan will lose more than 100 Wen for every set of things sold, and they have been expanding the market to the surrounding areas frantically for more than ten days, and the loss has reached 340,000 Wen, which has exceeded most of Yue Lai Xuan's net worth! ”
Li Si left a cold sweat on his forehead, thinking that if he changed places, he was afraid that he would vomit blood in anger!
"You think that's the end of it? Oh, people don't plan to just make Yuelaixuan lose some money. Ying Zheng quipped.
Li Si was slightly stunned, and suddenly sounded the empty boxes sent out by the Baolai Pavilion, and his face was terrifying.
He said tremblingly:
"It's hard to ...... Could it be that those empty boxes are to buy back the goods of Yue Lai Xuan? But...... In this way, there is no point, as long as Yuelaixuan occupies the market, they will be invincible in this game, and no matter how much money they lose in the early stage, they can earn it back. ”
Ying Zheng shook his head and put down the piece with some regret.
"Look at it, if my guess is right, this Chu Yang must have a back hand, and taking it is the real killer move!"
"Pass the order, in the future, all the things in Surabaya County can be rushed to Xianyang for 800 miles, and the widow must know the news as soon as possible!"
"Whoa!"
Li Si nodded, and also had some expectations for the follow-up of Surabaya County.
Seeing that the night was getting late, Yingzheng yawned sleepily, and then the chamberlain also brought in a cloth package.
"This is the 'Fleur'?"
Thinking of the role of this thing described in the cantata, Ying Zheng showed a strange look on his face.
"You quickly send this to the harem, let them dress up, and the widow will be in the ...... after that"
