Chapter 65: Blackmailing the Yuan family
Liu Xie's slap blinded Yuan Shu, he never expected that the young Liu Xie would dare to give him a big slap in the face in this court, and in an instant, there was only a blank left in his mind, and he was stunned in place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Poof! Yuan Shao listened to Liu Xie's angry words, was frightened into a cold sweat, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted in his mouth: "The ministers have no such intentions, please Your Majesty to investigate!" ā
What's going on? This kid actually slapped Yuan Shu on top of this hall, and forced Yuan Shao to kneel on the ground. Looking at the mighty Emperor Yonghan, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but wonder again whether it was right or wrong to put him on the throne?
His Majesty hit Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu knelt on the ground in fright, what is the situation? Because Liu Xie deliberately lowered his voice, the ministers didn't know what the three of them said, but when they looked at the young figure standing on the steps at this time, there was an indescribable pressure in their hearts full of awe.
"Your Majesty." Taifu Yuan Kui called out to His Majesty, stepped forward in panic, kicked Yuan Shu's leg in the crook of his leg, and motioned Yuan Shu, who was stunned in place, to quickly kneel down and plead guilty. "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is it that makes Your Majesty angry?"
Liu Xie looked at Yuan Kui who hurriedly stepped forward with a sneer, his voice was not high, but he asked sternly: "Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu privately led the army into the palace, wantonly killed the people in the palace, and even had the audacity to set fire to the South Palace. I want to ask Master Taifu, is this matter planned by your Yuan family behind the scenes? ā
"Your Majesty, the Chenzhi family has assisted the Han family for generations, is loyal, and has won the favor of the emperor, and has the reputation of the fourth and third dukes. Yuan Kui lowered his head and replied with a little trepidation.
Looking at Yuan Kui with his head down, Liu Xie knew that he was speculating about his intentions, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: The burning of Nangong made the majesty of the royal family plummet, although there were not a few people who killed into the palace at that time, but which one could compare with your Yuan family? In order to be able to conquer the world in the future, he had to do everything, thinking of this, Liu Xie still said in a cold tone: "Your Yuan family is the fourth and third dukes to assist the Han family, and I have never doubted his loyalty. But after all, it was before, as the so-called, at this time and that time, now that my Han family is weakened and has experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it is inevitable that people will have different hearts, and if there are people in your Yuan family who have different hearts, it is naturally reasonable. ā
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the glory of my Yuan family comes from the weight of the royal family, and no matter when and where, the royal family will look at it. From this moment on, my Yuan family swears to be loyal to Your Majesty and will obey orders. Yuan Kui said firmly.
Hearing Yuan Kui's expression of loyalty to himself, Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I can still trust the loyalty of Yuan Qing's family, but the mistakes made by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu cannot go unpunished. ā
"What Your Majesty said is that if you make a mistake, you will naturally be punished." Yuan Kui heard Liu Xie say 'fault' instead of 'sin', so he put his heart down.
Liu Xie seemed to be tired, sat on the steps, looked at Yuan Shao and the two who were kneeling on the ground below, and asked again: "Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, do you two want to go to Jizhou and Nanyang?" ā
"Your Majesty, the ministers are bound to solve problems for Your Majesty." Yuan Shao hurriedly fought for it.
"It's not impossible to do this, it's just that this Nangong has been turned into cold smoke and only a piece of scorched earth is left, and I have the heart to rebuild it, but this treasury is not rich, so ......" Liu Xie pulled a long voice and looked at the three people in front of him.
I see, this is true: dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the son of a mouse can make holes! This little emperor has completely inherited the legacy of the previous emperor! Yuan Kui couldn't help but despise it in his heart, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, although my Yuan family is not rich, but since Your Majesty needs it, my Yuan family is willing to donate ......."
Liu Xie saw that Yuan Kui understood what he meant, and expressed his willingness to pay for it, he was very happy in his heart, and immediately interrupted him, and preemptively opened the price code to ask for the price: "Okay, the Yuan family is really full of loyalty, so let's do it, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu each admit a fine of 100 million yuan, and the previous things will pass, and the two of them will take office and patrol the hunting party on my behalf." ā
Each pleaded guilty to a fine of 100 million dollars? Did the money come from the wind? Yuan Kui couldn't cry and laugh and bowed down again: "Your Majesty, my Yuan family is full of loyal martyrs, and they are all ministers with clean sleeves, how can they get so much money?" How about the two of them fined a total of 20 million dollars? ā
Million? Hehe, although it was cut a little harder, as long as you are willing to bargain, it is easy to say, I didn't expect this Yuan Kui to be quite good. Liu Xie pointed in the direction of the Guide Palace and shook his head slightly: "Yuan Qing's family, can you buy a few beams for 20 million dollars?" There are not a few palaces to be rebuilt in Nangong. ā
How many beams can you buy for 20 million? Is this a desire to cast house beams out of gold? Yuan Kui said helplessly: "Fifty million, no matter how much, the minister really can't take it out." ā
"Alas! Yuan Qing's family, this Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are the pillars of your Yuan family, and they are worth these dollars? Liu Xie looked at Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, completely threatening Yuan Kui with no regard for his face, and also provoked the three uncles and nephews by the way. 150 million, no less! ā
"Seventy million!" Yuan Kui's face darkened and he looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: Shameless!
Alas, sooner or later, your Yuan family will be raided by Dong Zhuo, so it's better to give it to me than to cheapen the old thief! Liu Xie smiled slightly, and talked about Yuan Kui's position step by step: "Master Taifu, counting me, you are the Taifu of the two dynasties, and there are not many people who can take on this important task since ancient times. My teacher and my father-in-law's Cai Yong have also been thinking about the position of Taifu in their hearts, 120 million! It really can't be less! ā
Yuan Kui turned his head and gouged Cai Yong's eyes extremely angrily, and said fiercely: "He Cai Yong has a daughter, and I, Yuan Kui, also have a granddaughter, if Your Majesty wants it, the minister will immediately send it to the palace." Eighty million! There must be no more. ā
Almost, in this way, it has not only enriched itself, but also invisibly hindered the development of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu, which can be described as killing birds with one stone. Liu Xie patted his ass and stood up with satisfaction, and said without leaving a chance for Yuan Kui to refute: "Rounding up, just a compromise, 100 million dollars." Three days later, I ordered people to go to Yuan's mansion to withdraw money, and after clearing the accounts, I immediately let Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu take office. I'm also out of sight and out of mind. ā
Liu Xie sat back on the dragon chair and asked with a smile on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, who still has something to start?" ā
"Your Majesty, the minister, the minister has something to do." Dong Zhuo, who had just been promoted to lieutenant, walked out of the train with an unhappy face.
What kind of expression is this? Constipated? Liu Xie looked at Dong Zhuo's appearance, and asked with a forced smile: "Oh, what does Dong Qing's family have to start?" ā
"Your Majesty, three days later will be an auspicious day for the zodiac." Dong Zhuo said reluctantly.
What happened to the auspicious day of the zodiac? Liu Xie asked puzzledly, "What do you want to say about Dong Qing's family?" ā
"Your Majesty, Wu Guiren." Fan Tong on the side reminded softly.
"Oh, Dong Qing's family wants to talk about the entry of Wu Guiren into the palace?" Liu Xie suddenly came to his senses and asked.
"Exactly." Dong Zhuo responded as if he had lost his heart.
"I'm right. However, Dong Qing's family, I have just ascended the throne, and there is not much money and valuables in this inner treasury, so I hope that the Qing family will take care of more in terms of bride price. Liu Xie's face was not red, and his heart was crying poorly, and he was naturally unwilling to support Dong Zhuo in his heart.
100 million dollars! I just extorted 100 million yuan from my Yuan family, and I can still cry in the court without blushing, how thick my skin is! The three uncles and nephews of the Yuan family looked at the roof, and their hearts were full of sourness.
