Chapter XXIII: The True Purpose
The inner treasury is the place where the emperor stores his private money, so the question is, is the emperor short of money?
The answer is no, and it's very lacking.
People often say that the emperor is rich all over the world, and all the wealth in the world is his, but in fact, it means that, but it is not like that at all.
Under normal circumstances, the emperor himself had to spend money, first of all, he could choose the inner treasury, and secondly, the treasury of the household department.
Catching up with the peaceful and prosperous times, and then being a thrifty emperor, with the silver normally allocated by the household, as well as the income of the royal estate, the silver must be enough.
But Huizong is different! In addition to serious state affairs, there is nothing that this buddy doesn't like, and the money is like running water.
It is precisely because of these good habits of Emperor Huizong that so many corrupt officials have emerged under his subordinates.
What are the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, rebellions are still frequent, in fact, the culprit of the defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty is Zhao Ji of Song Huizong.
The words were not thorough, Li Yan only mentioned the word Neiku, and Zhao Yu completely understood.
However, it is clear that when it is implemented, some means must also be used to avoid causing trouble to Zhao Yu himself.
Seeing that Zhao Yu understood what he meant, Li Yan suddenly changed his words and said, "Your Highness, does you know who is behind the prince?" ”
Because he didn't like this person, Zhao Yu didn't pay much attention to Zhao Huan's affairs, and even said that if Zhao Huan hadn't targeted him several times, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of that little eye.
Hearing Li Yan's question, he tried his best to search for the situation about Zhao Huan in his memory, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "Isn't what Lord Li said about Liang Shicheng?" ”
Li Yan raised his thumb and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Your Highness, it is this person, this thief is the best at flattery, it can be said that in Your Majesty's heart, the status of this thief is much higher than mine, so Your Highness must be careful of this thief."
Speaking of this, Li Yan looked left and right exaggeratedly, then approached Zhao Yu's body, and said in a low voice: "This person has done a lot of evil, if there is an accident that day, he will definitely be happy."
Zhao Yu and Li Yan were sitting in a single room, and there were two people's guards outside the door, so there was no one eavesdropping, but Li Yan still made such a gesture, although there was an element of caution, and at the same time, it was obviously hinting at something to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu knew in his heart that he couldn't hide his relationship with Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong at all, especially Lu Zhishen had kidnapped Gao Yu, which was definitely bold, if such a person killed Liang Shicheng again, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
It can be seen that Li Yan deliberately said that Liang Shicheng was standing behind Zhao Huan, in fact, he was reminding Zhao Yu that this guy will be a stumbling block for you to ascend to the throne in the future and must be removed.
Facing Li Yan's deep and vicious gaze, Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said, "Drinking, drinking, the dishes are a little cold."
Li Yan was slightly stunned, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he also saw that Zhao Yu obviously didn't want to continue on this issue, so he laughed dryly: "Yes, yes, drink, drink"...
The night breeze was cold, blowing on the body, and in a moment it blew away the little wine.
Zhao Yu rode slowly on the horse, and Li Yan's words just now still echoed in his mind.
He had a feeling that the things he did in private were now known to Gao Yu, Cai Jing, and even Li Yan and others, in addition to the emperor's father.
And the reason why these people choose to remain silent is that some people are deliberately hiding it for themselves, and some people are afraid that they want to hold these things in their hands as their own handles, and once they touch their interests, or want to coerce themselves to do something, they will shake them out.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that one day, even if no one said it, Zhao Yu himself would find a way to let the emperor's father know, just imagine how could he drive him out of Beijing if he didn't make the emperor's father anxious?
But now it must not work, because Zhao Yu's wings have not yet been completed, and his wealth has not been accumulated enough, and he must carefully maneuver among these people.
Killing people is the best strategy, and it is the easiest to get into trouble, so Zhao Yucai will not cater to Li Yan's proposal.
After thinking about Li Yan and Liang Shicheng, Zhao Yu's thoughts turned to Cai Jing again.
This old guy has not moved since he sent someone to remind Zhao Yu to take the initiative to ask for guilt, and Zhao Yu has not taken the initiative to find him, as if there has never been contact between the two.
In fact, Zhao Yu knows very well that with Cai Jing's cunning and cunning, he must not make a move, and he will be hit if he makes a move, the old guy is willing to help himself, and his ideas are the same as Li Ying's, so should he take the initiative to visit him?
After a moment of silence, the corners of Zhao Yu's mouth suddenly showed a meaningful smile...
Yang Xu had been sitting in the living room of Zhao Yu's mansion for most of the day, if it was the past, he would have already brushed his sleeves away, but after knowing that Zhao Yu went to banquet Li Yan, he patiently stayed.
Everyone is curious, and originally helped Zhao Huan stumble Zhao Yu, but he never really wondered what kind of person Zhao Huan was.
At this moment, a person was sitting quietly in the living room of King Yi's Mansion, and everything about His Royal Highness King Yi suddenly flashed in front of him.
As the queen's favorite prince, he doesn't want to make progress, secretly befriending people in the rivers and lakes, seemingly without ambition, but the forces behind him are looming, what does he want to do? ...
People are like this, once the idea is drilled, the more you can't figure it out, the more you think about it, it's dark, the tea tastes gone, and you're not even hungry.
Zhao Yu didn't expect Yang Xu to wait for him, the time was almost over, and he wasn't afraid of his wife's worries?
After asking the maid, I found out that Yang Xu hadn't eaten dinner yet, so Zhao Yu hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and food and bring it to the living room, and talked to Li Yan's guy with a vain head, and he didn't eat anything.
"Brother Yang has been waiting for a long time"
Zhao Yu walked in and hugged his fist directly, but he didn't explain much.
Yang Xu hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "It's the villain Meng Lang, it's a matter of the day, please forgive Your Highness."
"Huh! This king is not the kind of person with a small belly and chicken intestines, just right, I accompanied Li Yan's guy to drink just now, and his stomach is still empty, let's drink two more glasses, sit down! ”
Zhao Yu said and sat on the chair next to Yang Xu by himself, but did not sit on his own main seat.
The details are true, whether it is words or behaviors, Yang Xu has a new understanding of His Royal Highness King Yi.
Yang Xu sat down for a while, and four light side dishes were served.
Without waiting for Yang Xu to ask, Zhao Yu took the initiative to laugh and said: "This king likes light, but let Brother Yang smile, if Brother Yang wants to eat anything, this king tells them to make it for you."
Yang Xu didn't even dare to say that the maid had just placed the wine and food in front of him, and asked a little impatiently: "I don't know what His Highness plans to let the villain do?" ”
Zhao Yu looked at Yang Xu fixedly for a while, and then said: "This king has to do two things recently, one is to hold the World Keju League, and the other is to open a foot shop that connects all parts of the country."
"To tell Brother Yang the truth, the ultimate goal of this king to do these two things is silver, Brother Yang think about it, what can you help me do?"
Although there is no need to suspect people, and there is no suspicion in employing people, the relationship between the two is far from the level of heart-to-heart, so Zhao Yu can't tell Yang Xu his true thoughts.
But even so, Yang Xu was equally stunned...
