Since you can think of this, can you give me some good ideas? ”

"This ......"

The reason why Xie Yutang was able to think of those methods was not good was because he had been stationed in the border city for a long time before, when there was a famine in the border city, he had gone to help the people a lot, and he naturally knew more about the poor tenants than the prince who had been in the capital.

What's more, those words that criticized officials were also things that he had really seen in his eyes before. At such a time, those officials are still making private gains, and they are deducting from the victims, which is really inhumane.

It's a pity that at that time, Xie Yutang was just a fourth-rank military general, and he didn't have the right to speak for them, let alone the courage to impeach civilian officials.

So at that time, he used his money and strength to save a very small part of the people.

But it's different now, he is now a first-class general, and he won't stand by anymore. Since the emperor gave him the right to speak out, he took the risk, and if he said it, he would save the people of a town.

"Your Majesty, disaster relief starts with the rectification of officials, and I ask Your Majesty to send the imperial history around you to severely punish those corrupt officials."

The emperor said with satisfaction: "I also have this intention, I have decreed that as long as the people see corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they can be tied up, and as soon as my people arrive, they will be sent to Beijing to be punished." ”

"The emperor also needs to give a range of greedy silver, and use it as a yardstick to measure whether he is a corrupt official."

"Then it's better to position one hundred taels, with a limit of one hundred taels of silver, and if it exceeds, all will be severely punished!"

"Your Majesty, if you are in a hurry to punish severely and remove the official position, you are only afraid that there are too many corrupt officials, and the number of people who can fill them may not be enough."

"What do you want to do with it, depending on what you mean?"

"Your Majesty, it is better to give them a chance to reform their ways, if they can return the embezzled money, and submit a statement to the emperor, vowing not to commit it again, then they can naturally continue to be officials and support the people."

"This method is good, firstly, it can rectify the officials, and secondly, it will not affect the disaster relief, so I will give the order!"

Originally, he just wanted to test Xie Yutang, but he didn't expect him to bring such a big surprise. If he hadn't been more prominent in martial arts, maybe he would have become a generation of civil officials.

Soon, Xie Yutang's method was extraordinary, and sure enough, the effect of disaster relief was many times better than before. However, many of the prince's subordinates were so suppressed that they couldn't turn over, and they couldn't sleep all night because of their anger.

Since then, Xie Yutang has been more valued by the emperor, and many times later, the emperor will summon Xie Yutang to accompany him when dealing with government affairs.

Occasionally, the emperor would mention the affairs of the court with him, and Xie Yutang could sometimes give some good advice. Of course, he will also plan for himself, and begin to reveal in front of the emperor intentionally or unintentionally that the prince lacks thinking and is unable to do things.

Although they were not said directly, they always praised first and then sarcastically, step by step, gradually changed the emperor's thoughts about the crown prince, and planted the seeds of the prince's lack of ability in his heart.

Recently, the crown prince has been neglected, and he sometimes does not see his emperor Ama for almost a day except to ask for peace. For this reason, the crown prince's biological mother, the queen, went to the Heart Cultivation Palace several times to ask the emperor what the prince had done, but she never got an answer.

However, the prince is not stupid, he saw Xie Yutang's frequent visits to the Taihe Hall recently, and he knew that there must be clues in it, and it must be Xie Yutang who is playing ghosts in it. But even so, he had nothing to do, he could only grit his teeth angrily.

On this day, Xie Yutang was summoned again. Today, the emperor's face is very bad, his expression is grim, and it seems that something very bad has happened.

Xie Yutang's movements also became restrained, and he saluted respectfully and said, "See the emperor." ”

The emperor motioned for him to sit aside, and then said: "The report from the frontier is that a group of mysterious people have appeared there, harassing the lives of the people in the frontier, and even burning, killing and looting, and the force value is also very amazing. ”

The border areas border with other countries, and they are war-prone areas, so the degree of management is naturally very low, so it is no wonder that some people who are not from their own country can stir up trouble in them.

"Your Majesty, this matter is so tricky, you need to immediately send someone to lead troops to pacify it, so as to restore peace to the frontier."

The emperor nodded, he had this intention, and it was also the reason why he asked Xie Yutang to come here. Obviously, he already has a candidate in mind.

Xie Yutang also understood what the emperor meant, and was about to take the initiative to receive the order immediately, but he saw the eunuch serving the emperor come and report: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you." ”

Hearing the words of the crown prince, the emperor's face suddenly became very ugly, and he said: "Didn't I tell you that no one can disturb me when discussing political affairs, you let him go back." ”

The eunuch said helplessly: "Yes, Your Majesty, the slave also said this to His Royal Highness the Prince, but he refused to leave, and this slave had no choice." ”

"If I tell him to go back, you will let him go back!"

The eunuch had no choice but to go out and prepare to drive away the prince, but he came back and said, "This is ...... Your Majesty, the King of Chu is also here. ”

At this time, the emperor couldn't say anything, so he waved his hand and motioned for them to come in, and the slave was ordered to salute and immediately passed it on.

The first to walk in was naturally the crown prince, he glanced at Xie Yutang sitting beside the emperor, and secretly unhappy in his heart, it was originally the position he should be sitting in, but now he was robbed by a general.

But after all, this is still in front of the emperor, he didn't dare to be a demon, and he still looked respectful on his face. Now his impression in his father's heart is bad enough, and he must not continue to deteriorate.

Followed by the King of Chu, the King of Chu still looked gentle and elegant, his steps were steady, and his smile was like a warm spring breeze, which instantly reminded people of the appearance of a humble gentleman.

Seeing them coming, Xie Yutang was naturally embarrassed to continue sitting, he hurriedly stood up and saluted the two, and the two also saluted him after saluting the emperor.

The emperor motioned for them all to sit down, the crown prince was naturally reluctant to sit with his opponent, he consciously walked to the first seat opposite, and the king of Chu sat in the position where Xie Yutang was originally sitting, and Xie Yutang stood beside him.

Now the lineup is obvious, and the king of Chu said: "Father, the son has heard about the frontier, so he has come to discuss the countermeasures of this matter with his father." ”

"Well, tell me what you think."

The prince couldn't wait to speak: "The bandits in the frontier, the retainers heard that they not only harassed the people, robbed the people's food, plundered children, and even set fire to houses. ”

"Since they are already so unreasonable, my father naturally has no need to leave them a way out, it is better to send someone to exterminate them immediately, and restore the peace of the people in the frontier."

After the analysis, he immediately stepped forward to ask for his life, and said: "Erchen is willing to take on this important task and personally go to the frontier to exterminate the robbers and relieve his father's worries." ”

This time it was just against the robbers, and the prince naturally would not give up this opportunity to show himself to others. The so-called first-come, first-served, as long as he is fast enough, no one will rob him!

The emperor was very speechless, not to mention the value of the other party's force, as far as his prince's own force could not be compared with several other brothers, he was embarrassed to propose to lead troops to exterminate him, wouldn't this be a death to the door?

"Then you told me that you were going to fight against a group of them alone, right?"

"Naturally...... If you want to ask your father if you borrow soldiers, 50,000, you only need 50,000 soldiers, you must be able to beat them! ”

The emperor was furious and rebuked him, saying, "You are really a fantasy! 50,000 troops are already enough to fight against a small country, so why don't you let me lend you so many troops just to fight those bandits? Do you know that our country's current military strength is already insufficient, and you are still wasting! ”

The prince was frightened stupid by the emperor's scolding, he didn't expect his father to dare to be so fierce to himself, he had never lost such a temper with himself since he was a child, and the prince was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a while.

Seeing that the emperor was so angry, the king of Chu hurriedly said: "Father, don't blame the imperial brother, the imperial brother is also sharing his father's worries, but the plan is not very perfect." ”

He got up and said, "Erchen's thoughts are different from those of the imperial brother, and Erchen thinks that we should salute first and then soldiers, so it is better for us to send someone to negotiate with them first to see what their purpose is in doing this." Erchen believes that no one will do such a thing for no reason, and perhaps they will be dissatisfied with it in their hearts. ”

The emperor listened to what the king of Chu said, and then his anger disappeared a little, and the king of Chu continued: "We mainly use persuasion and guidance, if we succeed, this will reduce more harm caused by direct extermination." If they don't succeed, they will be killed. ”

As soon as the King of Chu finished speaking, Xie Yutang immediately supported: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the method of the King of Chu is feasible. At the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, just as the riots of the people will be because they can't eat, and they must have done something unhappy in their hearts. ”

"If we can guide and persuade them, don't continue to let their lives suffer, and then give supplies to the people, thinking like this, the damage will be minimized, and I think the people will definitely think that the emperor is a wise king."

The expression on the emperor's face returned to calm, and he thought carefully about the method of the king of Chu and felt that it was indeed feasible.

It was the crown prince, he raised his body and looked at the king of Chu with a fierce look, he had just robbed him of the scenery just now, how could he be willing in his heart!

"Doesn't this method feel too dragging its feet, since they can all do this kind of thing, how can there be humanity at all, if the negotiation fails, it will cause more serious damage, and it will be too late to make up for it, aren't you gambling with the lives of the people!"
