Chapter 286: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"Good, good!"
slapped the letter on the table with a snap, Tang Yu said three good words in a row, but judging from the anger on his face that was almost about to turn into substance, this good obviously did not mean good.
"It's the other way around...... It's all the other way around! Tang Yu seemed to be stimulated by the content of the letter, and a pair of eyes full of anger looked at Tang Jin sharply, "Jin'er, you tell me, if Dali Temple is still there, if Dali Temple still has the power of the past, is this possible?" β
Tang Jin looked at the other party and said without the slightest fear: "As long as you order to pay attention to this aspect of the matter, absolutely not!" β
"Very good...... Very good......" Hearing Tang Jin's answer, Tang Yu's whole person fell into a low ebb inexplicably. He read the content of the letter, in addition to the two that Tang Jin read, there were many more, and one was more shocking than the other, and Tang Yu even felt that the first two were not a problem when he saw the end. But this is not Xu Que's fault, just like he said he didn't know, so if he knew, he would definitely report it. Xu Que was a military general who had been there since the time of the first emperor, and Tang Yu still knew something about him.
And he didn't say it because ...... He really didn't know. The battle report on the front line was stopped halfway and replaced with a fake war report, which is the version of "a piece of peace and health" that Xu Que just said.
In exchange for the war report, it was a group of officials large and small along the road, who forced the front-line soldiers to buy the grain and grass in their hands, so as to raise the price and develop the war money! This behavior is simply outrageous! But what's even more outrageous is that this has been going on for years!
And the reason for all this, although it seems that these corrupt officials who have made a fortune in the country, but the reason is that Tang Yu abandoned Dali Temple. Just said to Tang Jin, if Dali Temple is still there, they will definitely not dare!
"It's me...... I'm sorry for the soldiers on the front line......" Tang Yu blamed himself. If before this, Tang Yu still felt that he was a monarch who loved the people like a son and governed the country well, now he really feels that he is a faint monarch, an emperor who doesn't even know what kind of life the bloody soldiers are living in, what else can he be if he is not a faint monarch?
At the same time, the heavy general who was still in a state of confusion was also distributed by Tang Jin according to his duties, and the content was actually similar, after all, there are no more than a few tricks to harm the army and make the country rich, but this does not mean
The seriousness of the matter is not high.
"This group ...... These bastards! Xu Que almost squeezed these words out from between his teeth. He always thought that although the front-line soldiers were in a bad environment, they could at least be fed and clothed, and they could get a lot of pensions for sacrificing their lives for the country. But now...... The moment he saw the contents of the letter, he felt that he was really worthy of his name, and he was especially out of stock!
"Your Majesty! Weichen was not strict in governing the army and neglected his duties, which caused our front-line soldiers to suffer from this. The minister knows that he deserves death, but he implores the emperor to give the minister a little time, and wait for the minister to behead all those bastards who take advantage of the power of the country. Xu Que knelt in front of Tang Yu without hesitation, his face turned red, and he immediately raised his knife and got on the horse and slashed those bastards.
With this one taking the lead, where are the remaining generals still sitting? They also came out of the army, and now their positions are all an enemy, an enemy is killed, they know that it is not easy for the low-level soldiers, and they also know how the low-level soldiers feel in this situation, they resent, they hate! If you don't behead those bastards who make a fortune, they will not be human.
"General Xu, seeing that you are not young, why are you still so naΓ―ve? Do you think that killing these people will ensure that the front-line soldiers will have no worries? You killed a Zhang San who made a fortune today, and tomorrow there will be a Li Si on top. I remember when I was in the country, I said, 'When the profit reaches 30%, the merchant dares to trample on all the laws of the world.'" Although these officials are not merchants, they are no different from merchants, as long as the money is there, where the profits are, the saints can also degenerate into demons, and it is only a matter of time before they are in between. Tang Jin said.
"Then at least killing a wave can ensure a few years of worry-free, it's a big deal to pay attention at any time, once you find it, kill it again." Xu Que said with a stiff neck. Tang Jin was speechless, he really suspected that this guy had rubbed some kind of aphrodisiac gadget on his neck, otherwise why was it so hard?
"General Xu, they are people, not objects. They will be flexible, if you kill a wave today, they will change to a more subtle way to do it tomorrow, and then they will not find any traces at all, but it will be really troublesome! Tang Jin reminded.
"This ......" Although Xu Que has a hard neck, he is not stupid. If he really did it for the sake of a momentary pleasure, Tang Jin said
This situation is almost an inevitable result, and the life of the front-line soldiers may be even more miserable at that time.
"Since His Royal Highness said so, he must already have an idea, right? Don't sell it. On the side, a general who was much more sensitive than Xu Que and didn't wipe the gadgets on his neck looked at Tang Jin and said.
Tang Jin suddenly let out a sigh of relief, he can be regarded as a person who understands!
"Of course I have it, but ...... It takes the generals to make small sacrifices. β
"Sacrifice? For the front-line soldiers, I will not blink an eye! Your Highness, what do you need to sacrifice? Xu Que, who reacted, immediately expressed his position.
"Actually, it's nothing. The conversation between the emperor and I has also been explained. Dali Temple! As long as Dali Temple can be revitalized, at that time officials at all levels have Dali Temple lurking spies, their every move is within the supervision of Dali Temple, who dares to make this kind of behavior to make the country difficult to make money, the first time will be reported to the imperial court, and then it will definitely be able to put an end to the behavior of making the country difficult to make money. Tang Jin said excitedly.
"Good! In that case, I, Xu, have no opinion. I'm not afraid of shadows, I'm not sorry, not to mention that there is an agent around me, even a hundred, and I have nothing to be afraid of! Xu Que replied without hesitation. In fact, whether Dali Temple is lonely or brilliant has no practical meaning for him. Anyway, he Xu has never done anything wrong, the only thing that may be too much is to capture a female prisoner from the battlefield and go home as a concubine, but now people not only give birth to him, but also follow him, the impact of this matter is almost negligible, so ...... Love to explore.
Xu Que said so, what else can the rest of the generals say? Isn't it an indirect indication that I have done something wrong? Now that the emperor is angry, and when he hears that they have done something wrong, their little life that they have managed to save is estimated to be completely gone.
Immediately, the generals either frankly or reluctantly agreed. Although it was a verbal promise, the emperor was the best guarantee here, if they dared to admit it, Tang Jin dared to sue them for the crime of bullying the king.
As a result, the expected difficult military generals were completely solved in one go, and the position of Dali Temple in Tang Yu's heart was also consolidated. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
