Chapter 85: The Emperor's Heart Is Too Dirty
Cheng Huailiang had black smoke on his forehead, gritting his teeth and wanting to kill.
In front of him is Li Er, the son of the Tang Dynasty, and if someone else has already broken his dog's leg, the master doesn't owe you.
"I'm poor."
Lao Li pretended to pat Cheng Huailiang's shoulder, "A son-in-law is half a son-in-law, and a son-in-law should solve problems for his father-in-law, I am optimistic about you!" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has not yet married the princess."
"Cheng Aiqing ......"
"Your Majesty, the ministers are only lieutenant generals and captains of horses, and they are all loose officials, and they have no money." Cheng Huailiang would rather die than give in, "Your Majesty, food and ordnance or something, you should go to Lord Fang, you have found the wrong person." The ministers were also poor. ”
"Li Junxian, go to Dali Temple to release Cheng Zhijie. He said that I would drink with him. Lao Li glared, directly magnified the move, and led him backwards.
"Your Majesty, you can't be so shameless." Cheng Huailiang looked entangled.
"Don't think I don't know about your little tricks." Lao Li's teeth creaked, "You scolded me again and again, and I just forgot it?" If you get angry, I put you on death row in Dali Temple, and I will be in a cell with Cheng Zhijie. ”
Empress Changsun has not spoken, and Li Junxian has never spoken. It seems that they all want to see the excitement.
"10,000 stones, if you have more, you won't be able to get it." Cheng Huailiang is simply loveless, "Your Majesty, you can't be too dark-hearted." 10,000 stones, or I went to the villagers in Chengjiazhuang and the surrounding counties to borrow it. ”
"I'm black?" Lao Li glanced at Cheng Huailiang, "In terms of black heart, who else in Datang has a darker heart than you Cheng Huailiang?" ”
"100,000 stones, one grain less, I will put you in Dali Temple, and Cheng Zhijie will be in a cell."
What is the concept of 100,000 stones? Once the grain in Datang is one hundred and six catties, and 100,000 stones is more than 10,000 catties, more than 5,000 tons, and Cheng Huailiang's bones and slag are sold, he can't make up 100,000 stone of grain.
"Your Majesty, do you plan to let Hou Junji fight for the past few years of military rations to the ministers alone?" Cheng Huailiang's face was pale, "Fight a Tubo, at most half a year." Cheng Huailiang paused, "Your Majesty, if you think that you can raise enough 100,000 stone of grain to sell your minister, you can do whatever you want, and you can sell your minister." The minister can't take out 100,000 stone grain, it's a big deal to go to the court tomorrow morning, and the minister will go to Fang Xuanling to reason. Why? Are all bullying me a homeless orphan? ”
"Rebel!"
Lao Li was about to make a rough move, but was stopped by Empress Changsun.
"Cheng Huailiang, 30,000 soldiers went on the expedition, and the daily military ration was 300 stones, and after half a year, it was about 54,000 stones." Empress Eldest Sun smiled slightly, "How much can you donate?" ”
"Minister......s" Cheng Huailiang felt that Empress Changsun was a generation of virtuous queens and reasonable people, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Queen Mother, the jingle of the poor ministers, there is really no food." ”
"Your Majesty, Cheng Zhijie has only been imprisoned in Dali Temple for one night, Your Majesty misses it very much, according to the concubines, let General Li invite Cheng Zhijie to have a drink with you, and then put him in Dali Temple."
I'm rough! But is it really not a family that doesn't enter the door, Lao Li Xinhei, and his mind to be a queen is so dirty? What about the virtuous queen who said yes?
"Your Majesty, is it not enough for the ministers?" Cheng Huailiang looked aggrieved, like a flower girl who was tied to the cottage by the king of the mountain and forcibly spent candles in the cave room.
"How much?" Lao Li glared, this bastard is a typical underpump.
"Ten thousand stones." Cheng Huailiang had already cursed the old Li couple in his heart, but under the pressure of imperial power, the shamelessness of Li Shimin and his wife, and the righteousness of the old hooligan, Cheng Huailiang endured it.
"Sign and draw." Lao Li was afraid that Cheng Huailiang would regret it, so he immediately asked the shopkeeper to ask for pen and ink, and a debt agreement was written.
But Cheng Huailiang felt the urge to commit suicide when he saw it, "Your Majesty, you can't be so dirty in your heart." ”
"To sign or not to sign?" Lao Li raised an eyebrow, "It doesn't matter if you don't sign it, I'll find Cheng Zhijie to drink." ”
"Minister...... Sign. ”
After an unequal treaty was signed, Cheng Huailiang finally understood the mood of the later generations of Cixi Lafayette every time he signed a treaty. This matter is that the overlord is forced to bow and tie you to death, so that you will not have any struggle.
The treaty is very clear that after Hou Junji sets out on the expedition, the grain must follow Hou Junji's army and leave Chang'an together.
If the food is not in place, one day late, the 10,000 stone of grain owed will be doubled. Two days late, the debt tripled. This is simply more usury than private usury.
It's too much of a bully! Cheng Huailiang felt that his heart was very blocked.
What is the saying? Being strong by life, either obey or rebel.
Cheng Huailiang chose to obey.
After all, he still can't afford to mess with Lao Li and his wife.
The old hooligan who sings with his wife and takes an elbow to turn out, and from time to time wants to kill his relatives in righteousness...... I can't live this day!
Lao Li shook the grain arrears agreement in his hand with satisfaction, "Guanyin, Cheng Aiqing is for the country and the people, and Ling Ran is generous in his donation." I see, if you don't take some time to find Li Aiqing, the Qintian Eunuch, and set an auspicious day, let Cheng Aiqing and Qinghe get married. ”
"Your Majesty, the royal sons-in-law are all dragons and phoenixes. I want to marry Qinghe...... "Empress Changsun glanced at Cheng Huailiang as if she did it on purpose, full of fun, "Your Majesty, according to the concubines, this grain arrears agreement can be used as a stepping stone for Cheng Huailiang." Let others also see that the children of the royal family are not cabbages, and whoever wants to marry can marry. ”
"Guanyin's words are reasonable." Lao Li looked proud, and he looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous schemes, "Cheng Huailiang, do you think Guanyin's words are ignored?" ”
Cheng Huailiang's sentence I was stuck directly in my throat, can you couple still have face? Is it really good to be such an obvious pit man?
"Reasonable!"
Cheng Huailiang almost squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, this is that the couple is the emperor and the empress, otherwise...... Grandpa Cheng definitely broke their dog's legs.
Stoop to compromise! No, it's oppression! Real oppression!
But in the face of absolute strength, Cheng Huailiang is like a flat boat in the sea, lonely and helpless.
"Then why don't you go get food for me?"
The fat girl tavern must not stay, Cheng Huailiang can't wait to get out of the sea of suffering.
Leaving the Fat Ya Tavern, Cheng Huailiang stood at the door, looking at the crowd still queuing, feeling aggrieved.
But just when Cheng Huailiang was depressed, Cheng Feng appeared at this time.
"Little grandfather, the Cui family sent a heavy gift, and the small one confiscated it without authorization." Cheng Feng laughed again and again, "They begged the little one for a long time, but the little one didn't agree." ”
"And then?".
"Then they want to unload the luxury gift and put it under the archway of Chengjiazhuang, and the small one will ......" Cheng Feng peeked at Cheng Huailiang, very cautious, "Little grandfather, you are not here." Uncle Fu is not there, and there is not even a backbone in Zhuangzi. Then the little one asked Fu Heng, and Fu Heng said that you didn't say that you wanted to receive a gift, that is, you didn't accept it. So...... So the little one drove them all away. ”
"Cheng Feng, you bastard, the master's 10,000 stone of grain......"
