Chapter 330: Thick Before the Rain
Su Can's face was pale, and he stared at Ye Shaolong viciously, obviously misunderstanding him deeply. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ye Shaolong was very helpless, as a courtier, he couldn't say some words at all, and after a moment of silence, Ye Shaolong muttered: "Big brother, some things are not as simple as you think. ”
Without waiting for Su Can to express his opinion, Ye Shaolong continued: "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and there are some things that cannot be said or said as a courtier. Even if you know that the emperor will not blame, you can't say it. Of course, I'm not ready to be a person who sacrifices my family for the sake of loyalty. ”
Su Can was stunned, finally calmed down, and after thinking for a while, he stopped talking. Obviously, he already understood Ye Shaolong's suffering, and as a courtier, there were indeed some things that he couldn't do no matter what.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, he is naturally no longer angry with Ye Shaolong, but Su Can feels a little embarrassed at the moment. After all, he misunderstood Ye Shaolong just now, and he wanted to apologize, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Ye Shaolong seemed to see through Su Can's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't be embarrassed, this is not the first time you have misunderstood." ”
After a pause, Ye Shaolong sighed: "Alas, I'm not afraid that my brother will know, although this emperor has returned to the palace, he will definitely come to me for help in less than three days." ”
"Looking for your help? Why? Su Can was confused by Ye Shaolong's headless words.
"When you come back to Yejiabao, you should have seen that the farmland outside the capital has all withered, and it can be said that there is no harvest. The capital has just been looted by foreigners, don't you think he will go back to find himself unhappy? Ye Shaolong shook his head, his face full of helplessness.
In the final analysis, no matter what trouble the little emperor encounters now, he will definitely come to him to solve it. Then at the end of the day, all the problems will be taken care of by yourself.
In this regard, Ye Shaolong felt so helpless, at this time, where could he go to find food for the little emperor to appease the people in the capital?
"Are you saying that the people of the capital will make trouble because of the food shortage?" Su Can seemed to understand what Ye Shaolong meant, but he was not so sure.
"It's not just that the people will rise up and make trouble, if I'm not mistaken, even those officials who used to be pampered and pampered will make more trouble."
"Moreover, it is not excluded that there will be some guys with ulterior motives, and these people are likely to take the opportunity to make trouble. If you can get rid of the little emperor, it would be the best. If they can't get off the horse, there is no loss for them, and they can still get the benefits they want from the trouble. ”
Hearing Ye Shaolong's clear explanation, Su Can suddenly fell into silence. If everything really develops as Ye Shaolong guessed, then the little emperor really shouldn't go back, at least not now.
"Now that you've had a hunch, have you figured out how to deal with it?" Su Can saw that Ye Shaolong had analyzed the Tao at the head, and thought that he should have an idea in his heart.
Ye Shaolong shook his head and said, "No, if there is, do I still need to worry like this?" ”
"Don't believe it!" Su Can directly threw a suspicious look at him, obviously not believing that Ye Shaolong would have no way.
"I really can't help it, now that there are wars everywhere outside, where can I get food. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food! ”
"There's really no way? So how are you going to deal with the emperor next? Su Can was worried about Ye Shaolong at the moment.
Ye Shaolong spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "No way, no way, the emperor can't cut off my head like this!" ”
Obviously, Ye Shaolong is ready to play a scoundrel, anyway, he has no way, the emperor can't just force him by the neck with a knife because he has no choice!
Su Can opened his mouth, thinking about saying something, but he didn't know where to start. Just shut up and stop talking, anyway, it was Ye Shaolong who should have a headache at that time, and he couldn't care so much.
Speaking of which, it seemed that there was nothing more to say, and the two fell silent. Ye Shaolong looked at the sky, it was not early, so he simply said goodbye to Su Can and returned to Ye Mansion.
Although I feel that the little emperor can shirk and refuse when he comes to ask for help, but in the final analysis, if he doesn't help at all, it can't be said after all.
After thinking about it, Ye Shaolong finally felt that it was necessary to discuss with his father to see how much grain was still in Yejiabao now, and how much should be taken out to help the little emperor at that time.
At this time, it was the middle of the night, and Ye Shoufu should have fallen asleep. Unexpectedly, Ye Shaolong had just entered the hall of Yefu, but he saw that his father and father-in-law were still drinking.
"Shaolong, come on, come on, accompany the two old men to have a few drinks." Tang San blushed, and when he saw Ye Shaolong coming, he shouted loudly with excitement.
Ye Shaolong was not hypocritical, he sat directly beside Tangshan, said hello to the two old men, and toasted first to show his respect.
Seeing that his son was sullen, Ye Shoufu asked casually: "What's the matter, didn't you say that you wanted to treat the whole army tonight, and you came back so soon?" ”
Ye Shaolong drank a glass of wine again, and then sighed and said: "Alas, there are constant troubles, I originally thought that the emperor would go back to the Forbidden City, and Ye Jiabao would be able to live in peace in the future." I didn't expect to see that this trouble would come to the door again. ”
"What trouble are you saying!" Ye Shoufu was full of alcohol and looked very impatient.
"Yes! Shaolong, if you have any troubles, just say it, and we two old guys will help you think of a way. Tang Shan also answered and comforted.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, but it's just more troublesome." Ye Shaolong didn't hide it anymore, and told the two old men about the fact that the little emperor was likely to come to ask for food.
Ye Shoufu frowned and didn't speak, and Tang San was suddenly silent. The look of the two of them suddenly made Ye Shaolong's heart skip a beat, and he hesitated to ask: "Dad, are we also short of food in Yejiabao?" ”
Ye Shoufu glanced at Ye Shaolong and said in a sullen voice: "It's not that you are nervous, but not being nervous now does not mean that you will not be nervous in the future." Now there is no food to buy outside, and there is no food in the house in chaos, so I can't be at ease. ”
"Your father is right, the caravan can't go far now, and the food is tight there. Yejiabao is now self-sufficient and stable, and it has only been developed for a year, and there is really not much food in stock, if it is asked by the emperor, then once we Yejiabao encounter something, I am afraid we will not be able to deal with it. ”
Ye Shaolong nodded, also feeling helpless, after thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, Dad, you settle the account, how much can you come up with, prepare first, and if the emperor comes, deal with it first." ”
"That's all there is to it!" Tangshan also agreed with Ye Shaolong's proposal.
"Okay, I'll discuss it with your father-in-law and give you the answer tomorrow." Ye Shoufu knocked on the table and made a conclusion.
