Chapter 372 - Sacrifice wealth to avoid disasters, kill chickens and make an example of monkeys
As soon as Xiang Yu said this, Zhou Bin, who was very proud, suddenly froze with a smile on his face when he heard this.
"This, this ......"
"Huh? How? Does Zhou Aiqing have any objections? Or what is the difficulty? Xiang Yu still asked with a smile on his face.
For a while, Zhou Bin felt a cold sweat on his head, and knew in his heart that if he didn't agree, he was afraid that Xiang Yu, who was still smiling at the next moment, would be able to crown himself with a "crime of bullying the king", and he would immediately be in a different place! Zhou Bin can't wait to slap himself twice now, why is his mouth so idle? What do you want to mention about moving the capital?!
After a period of ideological struggle, Zhou Bin's desire to survive finally defeated his desire for money. As soon as Zhou Bin closed his eyes, he said: "This is natural, the minister is willing to pay 50,000 stones of grain to build a palace for the emperor!"
"This grandson is really slamming the door! After blackmailing for so long, you took out 50,000 stones?! What about sending Hanako? That's it, that's it, it's better than nothing! Xiang Yu looked at Zhou Bin, who was in pain below, and couldn't help complaining.
"Hahaha! Aiqing is really an example for the officials of our dynasty, spread my will, and crowned Zhou Bin as Danyang Jun! ”
Xiang Yu was also very generous, and with a wave of his hand, even Zhou Bin, who gave 50,000 stone money and grain, gave him the title of Danyang Jun.
And what about Zhou Bin? There is no choice but to kneel down and thank you for a thousand thanks. After all, the title of "Danyang Jun" was obtained by himself for 50,000 stone money, so he didn't have to use it in vain, of course, it was useless!
"Since the emperor wants to build the palace, then the lower officials should help for the country's major affairs! Xia Guan is willing to give 100,000 stone money and grain to build a palace for the emperor in Jianye! At this time, Lu Junxing, who was among the civil officials, also made his debut.
At the beginning, Lu Junxing got the position of a doctor for providing Xiang Yu with 100,000 yuan of money and grain, and after it was restructured into three dukes and three dukes and six departments, Lu Junxing got the position of a household member and a foreigner, and he was also considered the number one in the court court.
"Good! Good! Good! The two Aiqing are really my right-hand men! It is a great blessing for me to have two Aiqing to help! Spread my will and seal Lu Jun's behavior as Lujiang Jun! Xiang Yu was overjoyed, and with a wave of his hand, he also gave Lu Junxing a "Lujiang Jun"!
"Emperor Xie!" Lu Junxing was overjoyed and immediately thanked him.
Zhou Bin on the side looked at Lu Junxing, who was happy, and said secretly in his heart: Isn't this guy crazy? 100,000 stone money and grain are the same as themselves, and change their names? It's really rich and nowhere to spend!
In fact, what Zhou Bin said was right, Lu Junxing just had money and no place to spend it, and the Lu family had been a businessman in Lujiang County for several generations, and the family had a big business and countless money and grain. In addition, Xiang Yu handed over the paper to the Lu family for sale, and the Lu family made a lot of money.
Lu Junxing also knew that Xiang Yu had always been afraid of the family, and Lu Xun was determined to be an official. Therefore, he paid great attention to the words and deeds of the Lu family, and from time to time he would open porridge tents on the street or fund the construction of the people and the local government, so that the Lu family would have a good reputation and Lu Xun would be able to rise to prominence in the court in the future.
Now that Xiang Yu wants to rebuild the palace, Lu Junxing naturally wants to seize this opportunity to show his face in the court to open a way for Lu Xun, and also let Xiang Yu see his own value, which is the so-called sacrifice of wealth to avoid disasters!
After all, if the money is gone, you can make it again, and if your life is gone, then it is really gone!
"Where is Xu Guangqi?!" Xiang Yu asked.
"The minister is here!" Xu Guangqi below hurriedly came out of the queue.
"Xu Guangqi, now that there is money and food provided by Lu and Er, I order you to take someone to Jianye early tomorrow morning to survey and select and build the palace! And build four more pavilions around the palace! Respectively named: Zhiyuan Pavilion, Jiuxiao Terrace, Zhongliang Temple, Zhongwu Hall! Remember that if the palace is built to inevitably encroach on the land of the people, it is necessary to negotiate with the people and give a certain amount of compensation before it can be built! Don't bend the law for personal gain, buy and sell! If anyone dares to invade the people, no matter who they are, don't blame me for not remembering the old days! ”
"If the ministers obey the order, they will not dare to violate the people!" After Xu Guangqi received the holy decree, he immediately returned to his original position.
"That's it! If you love Qing if you have nothing to do, then retreat! ”
Seeing this, Xu Guangqi below was about to step forward to speak, but found that Zhuge Liang beside him was holding his sleeve and shaking his head to himself. Seeing this, Xu Guangqi had to hold back for the time being.
With a voice from the main hall: "Retreat!" As soon as it sounded, hundreds of civil and military officials came out of the Jinluan Palace, and Xiang Yu and Yu Ji also turned around and went back to the harem together, going to check on Xiong Yun, who was still unconscious.
Out of the main hall, Xu Guangqi looked at Zhuge Liang and said angrily: "Lord Zhuge , I had something to say just now, why did you stop me?" ”
Looking at Xu Guangqi, who was a little angry, Zhuge Liang smiled, pulled Xu Guangqi aside and said, "Lord Xu, you must want to intercede for General Xu and Mr. Wei, right?" ”
"Well, now that my brother and Mr. Wei are in prison, I have to find a way to save them." Xu Guangqi nodded undeniably.
"Lord Xu, I'll give you a plan, you go to find the emperor alone now, and Lord Xu and Mr. Wei will get out of the prison immediately!"
Xu Guangqi was overjoyed when he heard it and said, "Really? Dare to ask why the adults are so determined? ”
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Lord Xu, you must know that the reason why the king put General Xu and Mr. Wei in the prison is to kill chickens and monkeys, if the lord intercedes for the two of them in the main hall just now, not only will the two of them not be pardoned, but I am afraid that the emperor will be annoyed, so I will stop you."
General Xu followed the king from the beginning and made great contributions to the king's pacification. Would the king be willing to kill him? The king did this just to hide people's eyes and ears, and at the same time temper and temper General Xu's mind, otherwise I am afraid that he would not be able to stop the mouths of the group of civil officials and writers. ”
When Xu Guangqi heard this, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly thanked Zhuge Liang: "Thank you Lord Zhuge for waking up, if no adult wakes up today, I'm afraid that not only will I not be able to save my brother and Mr. Wei, but I will also anger the emperor!" ”
"Hahaha, why is Lord Xu so polite, you and I are all hand-picked by His Majesty. Your Majesty, regardless of your background, will personally lift you and me, who are cloth clothes, to the temple, and I will help you to repay Your Majesty's kindness!"
When Xu Guangqi heard this, he nodded solemnly, and then went straight to the imperial study to ask to see Xiang Yu.
Looking at Xiong Yun who was unconscious, Xiang Yu became angry. Seeing this, Yu Ji on the side also grabbed Xiang Yu's big hand, wanting to calm Xiang Yu down.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu turned his head to look at Yu Ji and smiled slightly and said softly: "Fortunately, I still have you by my side." ”
Yu Ji lowered her head shyly and said, "Being able to follow her husband for the rest of her life is Yu Ji's greatest happiness." ”。
"Your Majesty, Lord Xu is asking to see you outside the palace."
"I know! Let him wait!" Xiang Yu said unhurriedly.
