Chapter 491: How to Donate Money
When he heard that Gao Changgong was secretly connected with the Du family, who was rich and rivaled by Emperor Gao Wei behind his back, and had some extensive connections, Han Changluan was also instantly shocked and speechless!
Because he has served this emperor for many years, he knows that Gao Wei's character and temper are cautious, suspicious and do not allow others to betray him, if someone's power or reputation has threatened his throne, then Gao Wei will mercilessly execute him, whether he is his own relatives or important ministers of the court, the previous Langya King Gao Yan and the pillar of the country Shi Hu Luguang were killed by Gao Wei without hesitation!
Although Gao Changgong planned the assassination of Xiao Yao on Qinglong Street, and the assassination of the envoy of peace talks from other countries is indeed a capital crime, but this crime can still be used to intercede with Gao Wei on the grounds that Gao Changgong is removing a strong enemy in the future for the Qi State, after all, Gao Changgong's starting point is for the Qi State and the imperial court!
But now Gao Changgong is secretly colluding with the Du family, that is, he has touched Gao Wei's reverse scales! No matter what his purpose is, whether it is for the Qi State or for himself, and whether he has betrayed the Qi State and betrayed the emperor, then he will only end up with a dead end, and no one can intercede for him, and no one can save him!
"Your Majesty, is King Lanling really colluding with the Du family? Did he really betray His Majesty? Han Changluan asked with a look of disbelief, he no longer had the tough momentum of shouting grievances for Gao Changgong just now!
"After Shiro came to Yecheng, a deputy general who had been following Gao Changgong suddenly fled from Yecheng, such an abnormal thing, so that the thoughtful Shiro found out that Gao Changgong's deputy general had pretended to be the Du family's son-in-law and lurked in Jinling City to ambush him, we found out that the Du family used thunder to make the Du family's son-in-law commit suicide immediately, in order to calm the dispute between them and the general firm, it turned out that the fundamental purpose of the Du family was to cover up the truth of the collusion between them and Gao Changgong!" Gao Wei said fiercely.
"At the beginning, I rejected Gao Changgong's proposal to raise the power of Qi and imitate the gunpowder firearms invented by Shiro, but the Du family was under the banner of supporting our Great Qi army, and very generously provided Gao Changgong with money and material support, in order to cover up, his Du family also donated a lot of money, grain and grass to the forbidden army on this side of Yecheng, at first I thought that this was a manifestation of the Du family's loyalty to me, and now I think about it carefully, the performance of the Du family and Gao Changgong is too suspicious, Why didn't you find out in advance that they were already colluding in the first place? Will you not find out until they are ready to rebel, and then what use do I want from you? Gao Wei pointed at Han Changluan and scolded.
"The last general failed to find out in advance that King Lanling and the Du family were secretly colluding, they really deserve death, please let Your Majesty be angry! The last general just now was too reckless and impulsive! Without knowing that King Lanling had done these rebellious things, he was so anxious to shout for him, and the last general was really ashamed! And now Your Majesty can forgive the Du family and not involve others in this matter, so that our court of Daqi can survive this matter stably, Your Majesty is indeed a benevolent and open-minded Saint Monarch! Han Changluan immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Gao Wei to plead guilty.
Because he now knows that what Gao Changgong committed is indeed a capital crime that cannot be cried out for him, so Han Changluan, who is very good at observing words and feelings, in order to continue to be reused in front of Gao Wei, of course, he must immediately show his loyalty and remorse to Gao Wei, and pray for Gao Wei's forgiveness.
"You will think so, for the sake of your loyalty to me in the past, I will forgive you for this great sin of disrespect! Now those ill-intentioned guys in Yecheng should be so frightened by Gao Changgong's death that they don't dare to do some big rebellious deeds behind my back! Gao Wei forgave Han Changluan and said.
"Haha, Shiro is really my lucky star, not only took the initiative to come to Yecheng to sign a truce and peace with our Daqi, bringing peace to our Daqi, but also trained me to be a superb stunner like Xiao Lian, so that I have to be with her all the time! Even if he has left Yecheng now, it also provides us with clues, so that we can discover Gao Changgong, a rebellious minister and thief with bad intentions, and now after he is executed, it will also make the ministers in the court more in awe of me, and make my rule more stable! God bless us Daqi and let me know Shiro, a good brother! Gao Wei said excitedly.
"Since there is nothing important in the court now, and Xiao Lian often says that it is not fun to stay here in Yecheng, I want to accompany her to Jinyang to hunt, so I want to build a luxurious palace in Jinyang! Now that you have sent Shiro back to Xuzhou safely, you can be regarded as a great contribution to me, then I will hand over this project to you to be fully responsible, and you must complete this palace as soon as possible! Gao Wei commanded.
"The last general's order! However, the last general is not very familiar with these things about building the palace, so the last general wants to recommend Duan Xiaoyan to His Majesty to supervise the construction of Jinyang Palace, and the last general is responsible for coordinating all affairs here! Han Changluan saw this opportunity to make a fortune, of course he wanted to find his own person to reap benefits for himself!
"Since you're in charge, it's up to you to decide who you want to supervise! All I have to ask is that it must be completed as soon as possible and that it must be luxurious and good-looking, so that Xiao Lian likes it! Gao Wei said without doubt.
"To build such a luxurious palace, it is necessary to spend a lot of money and requisition a large number of civilian laborers, but Your Majesty has ordered the imitation of the city gates and streets in the palace before, which has also cost a lot of silver, so now the silver in the treasury is not enough!" Han Changluan said with an embarrassed face.
"If you don't have any money, then go find money? There are so many rich people in Yecheng, why don't they donate a little? And the Du family, I have already magnanimously let them go, aren't they going to send me some gifts? Gao Wei said proudly.
"Your Majesty is wise! I'm going to do it right away! Han Changluan immediately said.
"But Shiro also once told me a good way to get hundreds of officials to donate money, haha, okay, tomorrow I will try to see if Shiro's method is feasible!" Gao Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a lewd smile.
The next day, Gao Wei came to the Cool Breeze Hall on time, and he still had Feng Xiaolian who was inseparable from him by his side, and then looked at these people who were frightened by Gao Changgong's death and trembled like a chick who saw an eagle, and didn't dare to say more, Gao Wei was very satisfied, and then said proudly: "Someone once played before, saying that I shouldn't take Concubine Shu to discuss politics with him, I can forgive your ignorance, because you don't know what kind of stunner Concubine Shu is!" ”
"So today you are blessed with three lives! I want you to see and understand, just like Shiro said, what is called this song should only be in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world! Come, little mercy, let all the ministers open their eyes! Gao Wei said proudly.
Before the group of ministers in the Cool Breeze Hall could react to what Emperor Gao Wei was talking about, they had already seen Feng Xiaolian, the concubine who had been shrinking into his arms, slowly climb onto the table in front of Gao Wei like a kitten, and then slowly shed the clothes on his body!
