When Xie Guiming heard Zhao Liang say this, he first looked at the Japanese monk Yuan'er beside him, and then asked curiously: "Mr. Zhao, you said that my master's apprentice, I don't know if you mean old age?" Or do you mean my junior brother? ”

Only then did Zhao Liang understand that the monk who had crossed the ocean from Japan had also bowed to Master Wuzhun, so he smiled slightly awkwardly: "Oh, I'm talking about you, Old Master Xie." ”

Xie Guiming nodded quietly, and then asked, "I see." Then I have to ask my husband, what misfortune do I need you to resolve? ”

"Arrogance, rebellious dragon scales." Zhao Liang replied lightly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room couldn't help but be stunned. You must know that in this era of the supremacy of imperial power, "reverse dragon scales" is by no means an ordinary trivial matter, and it will end up in the end of stealing the family and destroying the clan at every turn.

Therefore, Zhao Liang's words had the feeling of "not being shocked and dying", which suddenly made Xie Guiming and others look at each other.

If someone else came to say this, even if Boss Xie didn't reprimand him in public and ordered his servants to beat the other party, at least he would blast the person who said this out of the house on the spot. However, Zhao Liang claimed to be an old friend of Master Wuzhun, so Xie Guiming didn't dare to make a mistake easily, so he could only patiently ask again: "I don't know why Mr. Zhao said this?" ”

Zhao Liang smiled calmly: "Does Old Man Xie know what is the most important thing for Your Majesty?" ”

Xie Guiming didn't know the details of the other party, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's Sacred Heart, how can we and other small people speculate on our own?" If you have something to say, don't go around in circles. ”

"As the old saying goes, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Zhao Liang said in a good time: "For all emperors, what they care about most is the land and people in their hands, and this is what Your Majesty cares about the most." ”

Xie Guiming heard what Zhao Liang said at this time, and couldn't help asking: "What Mr. said is an eternal truth, but what does this have to do with me?" Besides, I am a businessman, with a humble status, and I have never been qualified to meet the emperor, so how can I have the trouble of disobeying the dragon scales? ”

Zhao Liang replied: "Your doubts, I'm afraid you have to start with the word land." At present, the Mongols are ready to move in the north, and there is a threat of iron hooves going south and invading the Great Song Dynasty at any time, so the imperial court has been thinking about how to expand its armament to defend against foreign tribes. However, His Majesty went around the country, but suddenly found that the current imperial court was actually in an embarrassing situation of having no soldiers and no food, and some generals without pay. If the national treasury wants to reserve military supplies, it has to rely on issuing a large amount of paper money and purchasing it from various places, which will lead to a crisis of currency depreciation. You say, will Your Majesty be in a hurry? ”

He didn't wait for Xie Guiming to answer, and continued: "The peace system has been implemented for many years, not only can it not solve the problems of the imperial court at all, but it has not seen the benefits and harms first, so the emperor has already had the heart to reform the system. This point, I think Cheng Xiang has also mentioned it to you. ”

Xie Guiming pondered for a moment, nodded silently, and did not speak again for a while.

Zhao Liang had already found out the other party's thoughts, and continued: "Jiangzhou Zhizhou Jia Rudao, let's leave it alone with his person, just his identity has a very special place - Uncle Guo!" When it comes to kinship, he is naturally closer to His Majesty than any other minister in the court. And this person became a feudal official at the age of thirty, and he was bent on implementing the acquisition of land by the government-run money village in his own jurisdiction

Years of experience in the rivers and lakes, can't you still see the clues? ”

Hearing this, Xie Guiming couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then said in surprise: "You mean to say that this idea ...... This idea was actually from His Majesty? ”

Zhao Liang saw him obediently take the bait, and said unhurriedly: "When Jia Rudao was in Lin'an, how was the wind review? A gentleman who doesn't like the Tao, right? How can a guy like this, who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, have the determination and perseverance, risk offending the landlords of the world, and desperately promote the reform of public land? Therefore, there is only one reason behind it, and that is - this law is decreed by His Majesty! He asked his uncle Jia Yidao to be an official on Jiangnan West Road, precisely in order to try out the new law, on the one hand, to constantly adjust and improve, and observe the effect of governance; On the other hand, it is necessary to see who will dare to jump out and oppose it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xie Guiming immediately couldn't sit still, he wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, and said to himself: "Eh, Mr. Jing, when you say this, it seems that it is really ......."

"Why is it still like that? That's clearly what it is. Zhao Liang added another fire: "Outside the old man, think about it carefully." They held a business conference in Jiangzhou, but they had to invite you all the way away, what did they want? On the surface, this is out of the consideration of business in the world, but in fact, it is to probe people's hearts! Big landlords abound all over the country, but why do you want to jump the highest, preaching everywhere, and planning to resist Jia Yidao's new law on Gongtian, isn't this going up the knife mountain with your bare ass and rushing to death? ”

"Huh? yes, why should I jump out and jump high? Xie Guiming suddenly realized that he might really be in a big trouble.

Originally, he was only unhappy with Jia Yidao himself, who not only looked down on this famous prodigal second generation official, but also despised those whimsical business ideas, so because the other party violated his interests in annexing land, he came out to make a public call with great fanfare.

Speaking of strength and background, coupled with the fact that Prime Minister Cheng Yuanfeng supported him behind him, Xie Guiming did not take Jia Yidao's Jiangnan West Road pacification envoy, Jiangzhou Zhizhou, Uncle Guo and so on in his eyes at all, and there was a kind of pride of "if you are not convinced, you will come to fight".

But at this time, when he heard Zhao Liang say this, he suddenly found that the object he planned to fight was probably not the Jia Nidao who was not four or six, but the ninety-five lord hidden in the Lin'an Palace!

An opponent of this magnitude, let alone him Xie Guiming, even Cheng Yuanfeng, the head of the hundred officials, can't bear it.

Zhao Liang watched coldly from the sidelines, and already saw the horror in Xie Guiming's heart, and said quietly: "Old Master Xie, let me tell you the truth, if it weren't for the face of Master Wuzhun, I wouldn't bother to care about these idle things at all." Fang Cai Jia asked me to go to his house to drink tea, and he hung you on his lips when he opened and closed his mouth, obviously to write your name into the memorabilia, and sent it directly to the capital. But fortunately, I stopped it, and he didn't dare to show off my feelings, so he agreed to ask me to come out to mediate and strive to turn big things into small things. ”

Xie Guiming was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "In this way, the old man has to thank Mr. for his rescue." I never expected that I would get into such a big trouble, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect ......"

Xiao Ya had been watching coldly from the side, and at this time, she also admired Zhao Liang's invincible flickering skills, she couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Old man Xie doesn't have to worry too much, since my father-in-law has taken action, this matter should be fine." ”

Xie Guiming nodded again and again when he heard this, and was about to ask Zhao Liang how good he was, and sat down

The monk Yuaner on the other side suddenly spoke: "Amitabha, the little monk has something I want to ask this Mr. Zhao for advice. ”

Zhao Liangwu was stunned: "Oh? The master has something to say. ”

I only listened to Yuan'er Dao: "Although the little monk has not been in Middle-earth for a long time, he has heard a little about the customs of the Great Song Dynasty. I heard that Lord Zhizhou has always been above the top, I don't know why he respects Mr. so much? Come to think of it, you must also be a big man in Middle-earth, right? ”

This critical question also reminded Xie Guiming, and he suddenly came back to his senses, put aside the fear and worry just now, and looked at Zhao Liang suspiciously. Although he didn't speak, the meaning was very obvious: right? Who are you? How can there be such a big face, even Jia Rudao has to buy it?

Zhao Liang secretly scolded this Japanese bald donkey in his heart for being troublesome, but he still pretended to be calm on his face: "Hahaha, that's a good question!" Who am I, ma'am? ”

Xiaoya was almost not angry with Zhao Liang, and she was asked by others without words, so she kicked the ball to her, what a bad friend!

But there can be no hesitation in the current situation, otherwise all their previous efforts will be in vain, so she hurriedly answered: "Xianggong, it seems that it is impossible to hide it anymore." Your status as a royal family should be honest. ”

As soon as Zhao Liang heard this, he immediately understood what Xiaoya meant, so he had no choice but to pick up the old stalk from before, and continued to fool: "Xie Laoyuanwai and Master Yuan'er, you might as well say to the two of you, I am a descendant of the royal family and the Marquis of Lin'an." ”

"Lin'anhou?" Xie Weiming couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Huh? Lao Yu remembered that his cousin Cheng Yuanfeng once mentioned that when our dynasty was in charge of the Central Plains, the first emperor Zhenzong did canonize a Marquis of Lin'an, and it seemed that he was still the heir of the Eight Sages King. But because more than two hundred years have passed, the name of the old marquis, Cheng Yuanfeng Cheng himself can't remember it clearly. However, after Zhenzong, there was no news of the descendants of the Marquis of Lin'an in the imperial court, and of course this title was not awarded to others. ”

Zhao Liang smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "No news, it doesn't mean that there are no descendants." Our family has always lived in seclusion, inherited the advanced magic of the Daomen, and did not like to get involved in all kinds of disputes in the court. It's just that, because this world is the world of my Zhao family after all, sometimes, the children of the Lin'an Hou family will occasionally come to the people to share some worries and solve some difficulties for His Majesty. For the secret matter of the Lin'an Hou Mansion, the people in the royal family naturally know it, as a relative of the emperor, how could Jia Rudao not know my weight? ”

Xie Guiming heard him say this, and nodded again and again: "Well, what you said is reliable." Yuanfeng's cousin also mentioned to Lao Yu that the first generation of Lin'an Hou Ye was born in the authentic sect of Taoism, and his cultivation was extremely high, so he would hide in the world for a long time. This matter has always been known only to a few high-ranking people in the imperial court, and ordinary people have never heard of it at all. Sir, being able to say this is enough to prove that you are extraordinary. ”

He intervened again and said to Zhao Liang respectfully: "Since you are a royal noble, it makes sense that you can become my master's old friend." Mr. Zhao, who was old and faint for a while, had two bad money, he didn't know how high the sky was and how thick it was, and he accidentally caused a catastrophe. Please do well, for my master's sake, and get through this calamity. ”

Zhao Liang secretly wiped a cold sweat in his heart, but said in a relaxed tone: "It's not difficult to resolve it, as long as you do what I say." ”
