Chapter 148 Destroying the Country
And looking at Li Xie's eyes, Li Zhanji did not refuse, after all, this is also his son's filial piety.
"You know about the tribute paid by the mission, and this time they have also invested a lot of money. There are 30,000 gold alone, and in addition, there are many kinds of medicinal materials unique to their local area. If everything is discounted at the market price, I'm afraid we will have to pay taxes for a year. ”
"So the ministers of the court have an opinion on whether to reward them or not? Or is there a debate about what to reward? Li Xie had his own guess when he heard this.
"It's true that there is an argument about a reward, but it's not about what to give, it's about whether it should be rewarded. They had already put forward the conditions, and the patriarch of the ant clan said that he had passed on the throne to his son, but he said that his son was young and not prestigious. Hopefully, we may reward him with a throne and increase the prestige of his son, so that his son's position may be consolidated. ”
Li Zhanji was very relieved to see that Li Xie immediately guessed what the ministers were arguing about. Although the reason is wrong, the result is right, no matter what, he Li Xie still has something.
"So some people think that they should be paid tribute to slave countries, and they should not be rewarded for it. Besides, if we give them what they want, it will make them feel that we are placating him, and thus increase their ambitions, or that they will only come this time to tempt.
Based on the current situation, it is precisely because it is not as good as before, the court has less food this year, and even if it has money, it will not be able to buy food. If you can't buy food, you can't move the army, so some people think that it is better to appease them and appease them. ”
When Li Zhanji said the request of the ant clan, Li Xie had already dismantled Li Zhanji's troubles. However, Li Xie felt that this should not be something that he Li Zhanji was worried about:
"It's the emperor's old man who should be annoyed by this matter, what's the matter with you? There is no absolute right or wrong, everything depends on the intention of the decision-maker. What is there to worry about your old man? ”
Li Xie said that the emperor was an old man, and Li Zhanji almost couldn't help but slap him in the face: Is Lao Tzu very old? But thinking about what Li Xie said, there is nothing wrong with it, something like this, what worries the emperor is indeed that he has nothing to do with others:
"Thanks to the emperor's love. I added it to the same level, and this matter can't be said to have nothing to do with me. The emperor ordered me to come up with a charter as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that the future will not be easy. Li Zhanji casually found a reason for himself. He is not afraid that Li Xie will find out, because his prime minister really has the same surname as him, surnamed Li. It's just that his prime minister is more than 60 years old, and he is just a veritable old man.
"Holy shit! Prime Minister, Uncle Li, you can! I can't see it, one person is below ten thousand people! Li Xie doesn't know much about current affairs, but he still knows a lot about the rules and regulations of the imperial court and the functions of official positions.
Cicada Yi was terrified when she heard these two people chatting, and her own adult's mouth was really powerful, and she didn't cover it up. Even the old man of the emperor said such words. This adult's name Uncle Li is even more powerful, and he dares to pretend to be the prime minister.
As the daughter of the former imperial physician Ling, Cicada Yi often listened to his father talk about who he was treating. For the age of the current prime minister, Cicada Yi is still very clear, it is an old man in his 60s, and the so-called Uncle Li of the adult in front of him is dead, that is, he is in his early 40s.
"Alas, it's okay, it's okay, you're also a prime minister anyway. Seeing that you can become such an official at such an age, the emperor still trusts you very much. Even if you can't handle it this time, he will forgive you, don't worry too much. ”
After Li Xie analyzed what those ministers were arguing about, he actually had a way, but to be honest, this method was too cruel, and this method had been verified by history. So after hesitating again and again, he still didn't say this strategy, but just sighed and comforted Li Zhanji.
Li Zhanji saw that Li Xie hesitated again and again, and finally only said a word of comfort to himself, how could he be satisfied? Good guy, my pants are off, and you tell me it's just a fart?
And his own son's experience was only after he told the source of the matter, and he guessed the follow-up things. To say that Li Xie does not have any opinion of his own on the issues disputed by the ministers of the two factions, he, Li Zhanji, absolutely does not believe it.
"Stinky boy, I know you have a way. In this way, today's events are out of your mouth, and no third person knows about it. Li Zhanji didn't even lean on the back of the chair, sat up straight, put his hands on the table of the Eight Immortals, crossed his fingers and clasped each other, and his expression was unusually solemn.
When Li Xie heard Li Zhanji say this, he pursed his lips helplessly and rolled his eyes. Then he glanced behind him, Li Xie's original intention was to say: The third person doesn't know yet, I haven't said it yet, the third person will know.
Only then did Li Zhanji remember that there was a person serving the two of them standing behind him: "It's okay, don't worry." If you mind, only two people can know. Li Zhanji's tone was flat, as if he was just saying casually, did you have breakfast? Such bland words.
However, the words spoken in such a plain tone are words that determine a person's life and death. Seeing Li Xie roll his eyes again, obviously unmoved. Li Zhanji then remembered that Li Xie was a typical donkey, leading and not leaving, and going backwards. If you want this donkey to help you, you can only use carrots, not force.
"Boy, your Uncle Li and I are not thin on you on weekdays! Now that you, Uncle Li, and I are in trouble, can't you help me? "This is low enough, and you almost beg for help.
"Okay, Uncle Li, since you've said everything here, if I don't tell you the way, it's too much to say. But I want to make it clear in advance that what I said today has gone out of my mouth and into your ears, and I will never admit it if anyone else knows about it. Li Xie knew that he would have to rely on this prime minister in the future. So things can't be done too much:
"Don't they want a reward? It's not over for others, but the Five Tigers are a country and a whole. There are five ethnic groups, and it is a bit unreasonable that you only reward one ant tribe from others. And the conditions offered by others are also very low! Don't you just want a throne? Neither you need to pay nor you to land, what the hell are you stingy? People have several sons, and only one son is sealed, are you embarrassed? And it is not appropriate to reward only sons and not grandchildren. The saint cloud does not suffer from widowhood but unevenness. If you want me to say that you want to seal it, seal it all. Uncle Li, sit down for a while, I'll write you the method of making ice, and you can take it back with you. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Xie got up directly, and when he left, he didn't forget to pull the cicada's clothes and take her away. Cicada Yi was really frightened at this time, although he was not sure of Li Zhanji's identity, but just by looking at the majesty revealed by him, he could know that this person's identity must not be low.
And the words spoken by ordinary high-status people are all spittled and nailed. Therefore, the conversation between Li Zhanji and Li Xie just now was really just a conversation in Li Xie's opinion, but for her cicada, this is the direction of fate in the future.
Cicada Yi's family has experienced hardships, and they have also eaten a lot, which does not belong to the hardships to be endured at this age. But her age is here after all, which also determines that she still can't look down on the word life and death. So how could she not be scared just now?
It wasn't until Li Xie pulled the cicada clothes away that the cicada clothes were really relieved. Only now did she have the strength to tremble, instead of stiffening her whole body as she had just done.
"The little girl now knows that she is scared? Everyone else is so consciously retreating, just you stand there stupidly. Li Xie said with a smile. As soon as Li Zhanji arrived, everyone didn't dare to make a sound when eating. And after eating in a hurry, the dishes and chopsticks were very consciously put away, and no one dared to sit here.
But the cicada clothes are not afraid of death, and they do not return after serving the tea, so they stay and serve without dying. Everyone knows that Li Zhanji is not an ordinary person, so can his conversation with Li Xie be an ordinary conversation?
