Chapter 446: Consent and Affinity
The thunder sounded all night, and Wen Qihang was tossed by the little nun all night, and Zhao Lao Er in the vertical arch hall stared at the drowsy Wen Qihang and snorted coldly: "Wen Qing's family, didn't you sleep peacefully last night?" ”
"Yesterday, I heard that His Majesty summoned Weichen, Weichen was very excited, so he didn't sleep all night, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Before entering the palace, the reason had already been thought of, and Wen Qihang replied casually.
“........”
Knowing that the bastard in front of him was talking nonsense, but this kind of thing couldn't be investigated in detail, Zhao Lao Er said helplessly: "Wen Qing's family, do you know why I summoned you here today?" ”
“........ Please forgive me for being stupid. Wen Qihang surrendered his hand and excused himself. I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, besides, this casual speculation of the holy will, whether it is right or wrong, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat.
Seeing that Qihang did not cooperate, Zhao Lao Er said angrily: "Then you should always know that I have deposed the three phases, right?" ”
"Ahh Smelling Qihang, he grinned.
“........”
What does this 'ah' mean? Yes, you know! I still don't know! Zhao Lao Er said angrily: "Wen Qing's family, what do you think?" ”
Wen Qihang shook his head stunned and said, "No." ”
“........”
I can't talk about it anymore! This damn smell of sailing, you know to pretend to be stupid! No wonder, emperors throughout the ages have liked ministers! This loyal minister knows that he will block the emperor, but this treacherous courtier is also a headache.
"Lord Wen, don't you want to know why His Majesty would depose the three prime ministers?" Wang Jien, who was waiting on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and when he saw that the two of them were cold, he hurriedly reminded him, hoping that Wen Qihang would wake up quickly.
“........”
Does this need to be asked? Of course, it's the death of the cunning rabbit, and the cooking of the lackey! It's written in the history books!
"Uh, that, that........ It must have been the three Xiangguo who committed a heinous crime. Wen Qihang really wanted to answer a no, but seeing that Zhao Laoer's emotions were obviously on the verge of an outbreak, in order to reduce the trouble, he had to rack his brains.
"The envoy of the Liao State proposed to make peace with my court, and the Wen Qing family should have heard about it, right?" Zhao Lao Er went straight to the road with a single knife. Instead of talking nonsense here with a guy who pretends to be stupid, it is better to say it directly, and if the answer is not satisfactory, it will be annoying to drag it out and remove him from his post and cut off his head.
"I've heard a little." Wen Qihang sighed in his heart. Looking at this posture, if you answer again, I don't know, it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat.
"What about Wen Qing's opinion?" Zhao Lao Er snorted lightly.
"Since Liao has this good intention, Weichen naturally supports it." Smell the sail arch hand.
"It seems that Wen Qing really doesn't know why the three prime ministers quit!" Zhao Lao Er gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Liao proposed peace, such a humiliating thing, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but no one objected, and all agreed. Even if he relied on the power of the emperor and dismissed the three ministers with the highest positions, after all, he was popular and might not be able to convince the public.
Thinking about it, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, only Wen Qihang has always taken an unusual path, and today he summoned Wen Qihang to come, not necessarily to seek his opinion, but as long as there is one person who opposes this matter, it is better than being alone!
But this damn smell of sailing has always been against everyone, but today, it is in line with the trend.
"Does Your Majesty not agree to this?" Smelling Qihang was stunned.
"What do you say?" Zhao Lao Er said angrily. This kind of thing, if it is placed on someone else, it is naturally refreshing, but when it is your turn, it will be resentful.
This is really 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi! Just now forced Li Tang to implement the policy of harmony, I really didn't expect this kind of thing to be my turn so soon.
This is coming too quickly!
If you agree to this, how can you save the face of the emperor! Don't you have to be shameless, doesn't this prove that you are just a guy who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard!
"Harmony is conducive to friendly exchanges between the two countries, and Wechen thinks that His Majesty should not oppose it." Wen Qihang persuaded him.
"Yes!" Zhao Lao Er said with a sneer.
"Lord Wen, you have to think clearly, be cautious!" Seeing that the emperor's anger had begun to burn, Wang Jien hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and reminded him.
"I think very clearly, isn't it just like Li Tang, marrying a beauty from Liao! What's the big deal. If there is no suitable candidate, Wechen can do it again. "It's almost the same thing that is flirting, if you don't hurry up to show your attitude, it is estimated that you are not far from death, and you will set sail directly with a big package. Anyway, if there are more lice, don't bite, one and the pro is the pro, and the two are also the pro, what's the big deal, the jar is broken!
“........”
“........”
Hearing Qihang's answer, it was really a little surprising, Zhao Lao Er and Wang Jien couldn't help but look at each other.
"Wen Qing's idea ........" Zhao Lao Er coughed lightly and said, "It's really ........ Surprising! ”
"Harmony, isn't the theme friendship. As for who marries whom, this is not the key. Wen Qihang said hesitantly: "Weichen heard that the first beauty of the Liao Kingdom came to our court with their envoy group this time, this is just an opportunity!"
It is said that that beauty was born in the Xiao family, a big clan of the Liao Kingdom, and in order to show the respect of our dynasty, we can give her the right to choose her husband freely.
What does Your Majesty think? ”
"Has Wen Qing thought about this consequence?" Zhao Lao Er calmed down and said. Although it was very relieving to hear the idea of setting sail, it would inevitably exacerbate the contradictions between the Liao and Song dynasties.
"It's nothing more than seeing the truth on the battlefield." Wen Qihang said in a deep voice: "Actually, Your Majesty also knows in your heart that there will inevitably be a war between the Liao and Song Dynasties, and the difference is only sooner or later."
In that case, why should we back down? ”
"A later engagement is always beneficial to our dynasty." Zhao Lao Er sighed.
"The two countries are at war, and momentum is also important. A small concession may cost us a lot. "Smell the sail is the right color.
“........”
There are not so many things in the world that have the best of both worlds, especially between countries, as long as one party benefits, one party will inevitably suffer. Zhao Lao Er sat in the hall and pondered for a long time, and when he heard the sail, he stood in the hall and closed his eyes to recuperate.
I don't know how long it took, Wen Qihang felt that his legs were a little weak, and then he heard Zhao Lao Er speak again: "Listen to Zhao'er, Qian Zhuang needs some money now?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing Zhao Laoer's question, he came back to his senses and said: "I am now newly established, just when a hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, but the people are withering due to a hundred years of war, whether it is commerce and trade, or agriculture, they need a lot of financial support. However, the interest rate of the people's seal money is high, and once the time is not good, it will make the people fall into it and it will be difficult to get out.
In the long run, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the world. If there is the support of the imperial court, the people will not only appreciate the kindness of the imperial court, but also increase various taxes.
It's a win-win. ”
"Hmm." Zhao Lao Er nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Has Wen Qing ever estimated how much money is needed?" ”
"Two million." Wen Qihang smiled slightly.
“........”
The amount of money that Wen Qihang said just proves the consistency of the front and back. But two million yuan, is it the name of someone's dog and cat? This damn smell of sailing, it's easy to say, doesn't he know, but two million, but one-fifth of the whole world's annual taxes!
I thought that I would give him a little support based on his good answer today, but this lion's big mouth was a bit excessive.
"Don't hide it, I'm afraid the treasury won't be able to come up with so much money now." There are only two taxes in summer and autumn a year, and now there is still a period of time before the summer tax is paid, and the treasury is said to be two million yuan, that is, two hundred thousand yuan, and it is a big head to hold.
Wen Qihang pondered his words and said: "Weichen heard that His Majesty wants to allocate funds from the inner government to build various palaces in the palace, why don't Your Majesty slow down for a while and use this for people's livelihood?" ”
"........" Zhao Lao Er laughed angrily: "Wen Qing's family, it's really calculating!" ”
"On behalf of the people of the world, I thank Your Majesty for your grace." Smelling Qihang, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said.
“........ But even so, it is not enough for two million. "Zhao Lao Er didn't have a good airway.
"It's better to have than nothing." Wen Qihang licked his face and smiled.
"Very good, very good........ the corners of Zhao Laoer's mouth twitched slightly: "Wen Qing is really a model for courtiers!" ”
"Your Majesty has overdone it." Smelling Qihang, he smacked his lips.
"Money can be given to you, but if something goes wrong. See you there! Zhao Lao Er threatened viciously.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Humph!"
Zhao Lao Er snorted lightly, got up and flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned around and left. As long as you stay with this bastard Wen Qihang for a long time, you will get angry.
