Chapter Eighty-Three: Plotting
Xu Siye heard the emperor say this, and couldn't help but secretly think in his heart that he was really a companion like a tiger, and he had to speak well a moment ago, and he spoke politely to himself and Lu Xing, and suddenly turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and wanted to execute himself and Lu Xing.
Xu Siye looked at Lu Xing and didn't say himself, he was also very moved, if Lu Xing said his plan first, he would almost not be able to hide everything in front of the emperor, if it was found out, then his family would be in crisis.
"Minister, minister, minister."
Xu Siye couldn't help but get nervous when he looked at Lu Zhouqi Ai, if this was the case, even if the emperor didn't investigate, Lu Xing wouldn't be able to escape the situation of losing his honor in front of the palace, it was better to tell all this himself, and solve Lu Xing's dilemma.
"It's a plan from the grass people to Lord Lu Xing."
"The grass people know that His Majesty the Emperor has always loved the people like sons, and seeing that the people in Yangzhou City will not starve to death in vain, so Lord Lu has already opened a warehouse to release grain, which is completely in accordance with His Majesty's idea of loving the people like a son, and Lu Xing is in his position, but he only said this strategy."
The emperor looked at Xu Siye's acting skills, Xu Siye did a very good job for himself, not only harvested a lot of salt, but also called on all the wealthy merchants in Yangzhou to donate, although a natural disaster came.
But the people in Yangzhou City did not suffer too many casualties, but if they were too demanding of the two, I am afraid that all the courtiers would be separated from themselves, and who would they use at that time.
"I don't blame you, it's just that I can set such a clever strategy, which is worthy of being Kong Ming in the world, and if this person has not heard of it, it is my own dereliction of duty, and I am afraid that I will really not be able to sit still."
"Thank you, Lord Longen, Your Majesty will not pursue the crimes of the grass people."
When Lu Xing heard this, the atmosphere in his heart was already relaxed, and he hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
The emperor couldn't help but think in his heart that what he said was not to pursue Lu Xing and the others, Lu Xingye had already thanked him and had already said it orally, if it was changed, it would be a change of order overnight, and it would not be good for his reputation, so it was better to be a favor.
"You two are loyal to me, I see how to punish you two, but this matter is too ostentatious, it will definitely attract the dissatisfaction of the courtiers, if there is such a thing, how should I solve it, and if there is such a thing in the future, I will come to me in private."
Xu Siye knew in his heart that he would not be able to survive if he did not stand in line in the court or had no obvious direction, and because of Xu Youcheng, he could stand on the emperor's side.
"Long live my lord, although Yangzhou City is not in major trouble for the time being, Xiaomin has also found some unusual problems."
Xu Siye thought in his heart that if he took this opportunity to tell the emperor about the carp wearing ring, and then eliminated those Fanbang people lurking in the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.
"Even if you say it, I won't blame you if you say it wrong."
"The grass people thanked His Majesty for his kindness, and the grass people found that in recent days, there have been a lot of Fanbang people in Yangzhou City, and these Fanbang people have bullied the people of the Great Song Dynasty or robbed money or burned and killed, which is what the grass people have always been worried about."
As soon as the emperor heard this, he already understood a lot in his heart, he had heard the courtiers say this, but he had never thought that he was so nervous, and he had not heard those Fanbang people oppress the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty.
"This matter is related to the customs clearance of Fanbang, customs clearance has always been the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, if you want to use this matter to sell the official mantle to invite merit, then you really have the wrong idea."
"The grass people don't dare to make trouble, just look at the people of Fanbang who bullied my Great Song Dynasty and only feel a little unhappy in their hearts, and on the way back to Lin Mansion, the grass people saw a bandit bandit, he is a good person who was forced to become a bandit."
Xu Siye watched the emperor's face get worse and worse, but he couldn't stop and admonish, so he could only harden his scalp and continue, the emperor waved his hand and motioned to the waiter who was waiting next to him to go down, leaving only Xu Siye and Lu Xing in the room.
As soon as the emperor saw that everyone was gone, he nodded and motioned for Xu Siye to continue.
"What do you think about this?"
"In front of His Majesty, the grass people don't dare to show off their cleverness, they just say some of their shallow statements, and I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can listen to some, which is the supreme honor of the grass people."
When the emperor heard this, Xu Siye was also polite and courteous, and he did not have the pampering and arrogance that he had mastered some or because he helped him find out the salt affairs.
"Since you have your own thoughts, let me hear it, and if there is really something, I will leave the matter to you."
"The grass people don't dare, but the grass people think, if the Fanbang people are infinitely put into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the following drawbacks will inevitably occur, and the Fanbang people are afraid that they have no restraint with His Majesty's sincere invitation, and over time, my Great Song people are oppressed by the Fanbang people, and their hearts are naturally unhappy. That would also damage His Majesty's reputation. ”
"The second is that if there is a war with the Fanbang people, millions of people in the territory of the Great Song Kingdom have become a timed ** general, but they can explode at any time, if there is a war, the basic situation of the Great Song Dynasty can be brought to the Fanbang by these Fanbang people by various means, which is greatly unfavorable to the situation of the Great Song Dynasty."
"The third is that the existence of these gentiles is not to inquire more about the situation of the Great Song Dynasty in order to open and close the city."
"But how do you know that I am willing to listen to you, not that you slander and cling to those Fanbang people, Fanbang people and the Great Song Dynasty are neighbors, if you support the war between the two countries like this, you can afford to be offended."
"The grass people didn't, I saw a lot of carp wearing rings many times back then, I was thinking what kind of thing it would be there, why did I see it again and again? Later, the bandit who was caught on the way back to Lin Mansion, according to him, the jade pendant ring there was the supreme belief of the Fanbang people. ”
When the emperor heard this, there was no hint of adulteration, then he had already fallen into a conspiracy, but he didn't know it, and the courtiers in the court also discussed some unknown issues every day as if they didn't know, and ignored this conspiracy, or there were already people in the court who cooperated with Fanbang in a vain attempt to subvert the Great Song Dynasty.
The emperor couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of this, since he climbed the country, he didn't have a trace of free time to do, but in the eyes of the outside world, he was addicted to wine, but he knew how sad he was, Xu Siye looked at the emperor in front of him, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
