Chapter 559: Wenfu Dialogue (5)
King Rong and King Xiu nodded again and again, and King Rong said: "Yes, the Governor of the Metropolitan is determined to forge ahead, how can he be constrained from the beginning?" I'll persuade the Empress Dowager to go back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
Wen Tianxiang said: "This matter is not difficult. After all, the Empress Dowager is the mother of the Grand Governor, and it is not a big deal, and Yang Juma is also willing to retreat, and it can be decided in a few words. ”
King Rong said: "I have a lot of things given by the emperor there, do you want to make an inventory, ask the bachelor of arts to look at it, and see which ones should be handed back?" ”
King Rong and King Xiu, as princes of the court, have always had a lot of rewards in the court, but their biggest income is not here.
The filial piety of officials in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty and the business in their hands were their main source of wealth. What can they do without making money? In addition, the taxes collected at a number of checkpoints, the taxes on agricultural land, and the exploitation of the so-called "and buying" have accumulated over the years, and they are extremely rich, and the gold, silver and jewelry that have been saved up must be specially built in warehouses to collect.
Wen Tianxiang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I can't help it, this matter will be decided when the metropolitan governor comes back, according to the lower officials, most of them are not used, otherwise wouldn't it be a mess up and down?" ”
When King Rong heard Wen Tianxiang say this, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.
King Xiu immediately said: "Bachelor of Letters, no matter what the Metropolitan Governor does, the two of us have already discussed it, and we will take out some excess property to set an example." The Governor of the Metropolitan Expedition is victorious, and he must need money to reward the three armies, and this point of heart, I hope that the scholar will convey it to the Governor. ”
Wen Tianxiang was taken aback, and said in his heart that these two princes are really willing, so insightful!
Seeing that Wen Tianxiang did not object, King Rong immediately said: "I still have some fabrics there, which are not precious, and they can be used as rewards for the soldiers, otherwise they will be broken, and I hope that the scholars will be dedicated to the Metropolitan Governor." ”
Wen Tianxiang sighed secretly, King Xiu and King Rong are really old and good at preserving themselves. took the initiative to contribute, and usually curry favor with the Metropolitan Governor in every possible way, where would the Metropolitan Governor pursue their little thing again? Brilliant!
Seeing that Wen Tianxiang was silent, King Xiu couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "Bachelor of Arts, I still have two houses in Guangzhou......"
Wen Tianxiang came back to his senses, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "His Royal Highness King Xiu will stay, and the lower officials will present this matter to the Governor of Dadu, please rest assured." ”
King Xiu and King Rong smiled—it's finally agreed!
With Wen Tianxiang speaking for them, Cheng Yue should not be ruthless to them. Cheng Yue also knew very well in his heart that the two princes had gone through three dynasties and enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and the huge wealth in the family was naturally not a small amount, and a lot of it was money that they should not get.
They have already made up their minds to give a quarter of their family property to Cheng Yue first, in exchange for Cheng Yue not to pursue their family property, if Cheng Yue is not satisfied, he will give another quarter or even more, so as to save himself from worrying about Cheng Yue taking the sect every day.
Yang Zhen's house will be spit out entirely, as long as they can leave a small half of the family property, they are already satisfied!
However, what they didn't understand was that Cheng Yue actually didn't mean to point the finger at them from beginning to end, but Cheng Yue did want to attack some people, which was expected by them.
Wen Tianxiang silently calculated in his heart, if the civil and military generals in the court and the central government all paid money to atone for their crimes according to the standards of the two old princes, the wealth handed over by the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty would be an unimaginably huge amount!
The more Wen Tianxiang thought about it, the more frightened he became, so openly making enemies with the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and offending most of the people at the same time, except for Cheng Yue, who had such overwhelming strength, he would never think about it as a second person, even the officials of the Great Song Dynasty would not dare!
Wen Tianxiang didn't know if Cheng Yue wanted to deal with only Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong, but judging from what Cheng Yue had said before, many old things would probably have to be turned over and examined again!
The two old princes didn't stay for a long time, and after talking to Wen Tianxiang for a while, they left, and Wen Tianxiang personally sent them out of the house.
Seeing off the two princes, Wen Tianxiang simply invited a few officials who were waiting at the door to come in. The officials who were summoned were all overjoyed and proud.
Not only Wen Tianxiang, but also several other important ministers of the Cheng Party were also surrounded by water. The officials of the relevant functions must go to wherever they can, and those who can't go in to meet must do everything possible to leave a famous thorn, otherwise they will be misunderstood and unwilling to work for Cheng Yue, which will be a big deal.
Relatively speaking, there are naturally many people in front of the door of Liu Mengyan and Chen Yi, and if they want to see the two prime ministers, they should avoid it at the moment, and would rather push the matter back, who knows if Yang Ting will put a secret agent in front of the door of the two prime ministers? If you weren't seen visiting at this time, wouldn't you be asking for hardship?
Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong sat in the city of sorrow at home, with nothing to do, sighing.
According to the usual practice, when it comes to extremely difficult things to solve, the two will definitely meet in private to discuss, and the henchmen of the two will also give advice on the side, but this time it is different, although Cheng Yue didn't say anything, the meaning is very clear, their property must be announced, but do they dare? How much of the wealth that the two have accumulated over the years can be seen? Not a single in five!
Once it is made public, the impeachment of the imperial history will swarm in, and Liu Qi's mad dog must have been sharpening his knife for a long time!
Beat up the water dogs, which one wouldn't? Which one won't? There is no risk at all, and you can also use this to show loyalty to Cheng Yue, it is expected that the two of them will inevitably end up in the fate that a thousand people pointed out!
Cheng Yue choked their lifeblood with one move, and with Cheng Yue's power, the two of them didn't even have the possibility of resisting, so they didn't have to meet at all, and waited for death at home.
The so-called trees are scattered, Jia Yuqing, Wu Jun, Xu Nang and others will not come to the door to die with them, these three people, either go to see Dingniang, or go to Liu Qi and Su Liuyi's house, where can they still take care of them?
Liu Mengyan got drunk at home, and cried bitterly after drinking, so frightened that the wives and concubines in the family knelt on the ground, and also persuaded with tears. Even if they are women, it can be seen from the fact that no one has come to the door after the next dynasty, although Liu Mengyan is still the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he is already declining!
The tide is over——!
Chen Yizhong was quite calm, and immediately ordered the door to be closed after returning home, and there would be no guests anyway. Chen Yizhong locked himself in the study, turned over all the political affairs he had done over the years, and the memoranda he had written, checked them one by one, sorted them out one by one, and tried to find a way to exonerate himself from his crimes.
Chen Yizhong's family also came to help, even if it was a small matter such as donating 100 yuan to the flooded place, they had to find out all of them, list them on a piece of paper first, and then keep them to sort out slowly. (To be continued.) )
