Chapter 166: Reincarnation of Profiteers
The first thing Gao Huaiyuan did after returning to Beijing was to enter the palace to meet Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun's spirit is now becoming more and more unbearable, his eyes are deep-set, his face is yellow, and he is too indulgent at a glance, both physically and mentally, he has completely collapsed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info Gao Huaiyuan looked at Zhao Yun's performance, although he was a little sad, but he still hardened his heart, and still didn't say that he wanted to return the government to Zhao Yun, but just told Zhao Yun about his journey to Qin Fenglu this time, as well as the harvest of this trip to Sichuan.
Zhao Yun also had to admit that Gao Huaiyuan was in charge of the government much better than him, many things had to be weighed left and right when he was in charge, and many times he couldn't do what he wanted, but Gao Huaiyuan held the military power in his hands, and he didn't have to worry about so much at all, and if he didn't obey, he would pull down the big **, and then rush home to dig the soil, so the efficiency of doing things was much more efficient than that of him, the real emperor...
Moreover, Gao Huaiyuan was decisive in killing, and he did not allow any opposition to him in the court, so he didn't need to spend more energy and go all out to do what he wanted to do.
And the recovery of Qin Fenglu and the annexation of the Tubo tribes are enough for his Song Dynasty to shine in the annals of history, Zhao Yun is still a little happy about these two things, although Gao Huaiyuan does not need it, but he still pretended to praise Gao Huaiyuan a few words, let Gao Huaiyuan make persistent efforts to recover the Central Plains as soon as possible, and also said that he will set up an altar to worship his ancestors, and bring these good news to the emperor.
When Gao Huaiyuan walked out of the palace, he saw An Jie, who was in charge of controlling the palace, An Jie told Gao Huaiyuan: "Your Majesty's temper has become more anxious during this time, and the little yellow gate and the palace maid in the palace have been beaten to death by him several times during this time, and Your Majesty has been proclaiming day and night*, indulging in excessive desires, and his body is not as good as before!"
His Majesty often asks the Imperial Physician to prescribe various supplements for him, a large number of supplements, and some time ago he also felt a cold, and the Imperial Physician Yu Tianxi prescribed medicine for him, although he cured his illness, but it seems that His Majesty is somewhat addicted to this medicine! Still take this medicine every day! Now it's basically to the point where you can't leave the medicine for a day! β
"What? Yu Tianxi? What medicine did Yu Tianxi prescribe to him? Gao Huaiyuan was slightly surprised, he was still familiar with the name Yu Tianxi. This Yu Tianxi was Shi Miyuan's doorman, Gao Huaiyuan still remembers that when Baoqing launched a military admonition in the first year of Baoqing, when he attacked the Prime Minister's Mansion, this Yu Tianxi also led the Prime Minister's Mansion and the government soldiers to resist his attack, and later Yu Tianxi and others were captured by Gao Huaiyuan. . .
Later, when Gao Huaiyuan was dealing with Shi Miyuan's party, he found that this Yu Tianxi was a good doctor, and when Shi Miyuan's party was eliminated at that time, Gao Huaiyuan didn't want to expand the scope of the attack, so he pardoned this Yu Tianxi and stayed in the Taiyi Bureau as a doctor.
I didn't expect to hear his name for so many years, but suddenly I heard the news of Yu Tianxi again, so I immediately asked.
An Jie replied: "I don't know about my humble duties, I only know that Yu Tianxi often sends medicine to His Majesty, and the little one also sent Xiao Huangmen to test the medicine, but he didn't find it poisonous, so he didn't care about it!" β
After Gao Huaiyuan saw Zhao Yun, he felt a little guilty about Zhao Yun's current situation, and his heart was a little troubled, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about him, let him go!" I can understand his frustration! He can do whatever he wants! As long as you toss inside the palace, don't make trouble outside the palace! So this matter was put aside, and Gao Huaiyuan didn't pay much attention to it. When the golden envoy came to Lin'an, Gao Huaiyuan summoned Zhen Dexiu and others to the Privy Council, and after everyone sat down, Gao Huaiyuan informed everyone of the golden envoy's request.
And after Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng, Hong Zhikui and others heard Gao Huaiyuan's words, their first reaction was to stand up and oppose this deal.
Hong Zhikui's reaction was particularly fierce, and he just pointed at Gao Huaiyuan and scolded him for being a traitor, at this time it was too late for everyone to see the jokes of the Jin people, but Gao Huaiyuan actually proposed to trade with the Jin State and sell grain to the Jin State, and they wished that the Jin people would be starved to death to be happy, and Hong Zhikui immediately expressed his opposition to this matter.
And not only the civil officials such as Hong Zhikui objected, but even Fang Shuda of the Privy Council also objected, standing up and saying that he would starve Jin Bing to death, and resolutely did not support the sale of grain to Jin Guo!
Looking at the excited group of people in the lobby, Gao Huaiyuan didn't speak at first, but slowly drank fragrant tea, and they quarreled.
After a while, Ji Xiancheng found that Gao Huaiyuan's attitude was very ambiguous, and others also found that Gao Huaiyuan's attitude was not quite right, so the timid people stopped shouting, and the noise in the lobby gradually quieted down.
"So I don't know what the cardinal minister thinks about this?" Finally, Zhen Dexiu also spoke, and he asked Gao Huaiyuan directly.
Gao Huaiyuan put down the tea bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "Hehe! The official thinks that this business can be done! β
Hearing Gao Huaiyuan say this, Hong Zhikui even exploded, jumped up and pointed at Gao Huaiyuan and scolded: "The surname is Gao!" You're a traitor! You can say that, too! The people of the Jin country are now about to end, you don't want to go on the Northern Expedition to recover the old land, and you have to sell grain to the Jin people, what are your intentions? Others are afraid of you, but the official is not afraid of you! It's a big deal that you killed this official, and this official will never agree to this matter! β
Although Fang Shuda didn't speak again, his face was a little not good-looking, and he sat down and drank sullen tea silently, with an unhappy face. Gao Huaiyuan looked at Hong Shikui, who was pointing at his nose and scolding, and said with a smile: "Lord Hong, let's dissipate our anger first!" Is it okay to listen to the lower official's words? At that time, if Lord Hong still thinks that Xia Guan is betraying the country, then he can pull Xia Guan's mouth, and Xia Guan will have nothing to say!
Hugh wants to say who the lower official killed at every turn, although the lower official cut off some corrupt officials for the country, but who Lord Hong is, the lower official still knows, even if you spit on my face, the lower official will not do anything to Lord Hong! Hehe! β
Gao Huanyuan's words are true, although Gao Huaiyuan is decisive in killing, but for the honest officials in the DPRK, he has always been courteous, like Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng, these people, they were all people who spat on his face, but Gao Huaiyuan was still respectful and polite to them, so that they were still in a high position, and of course the same was true for people like Hong Shikui...
Therefore, the court and the central government, like Zhen Dexiu, and their capable ministers, really couldn't find anything wrong with Gao Huaiyuan, so Hong Zhikui had no choice but to put away his anger, turned around and sat back in his place, waiting for Gao Huaiyuan to explain the reason for this matter...
Gao Huaiyuan stood up and walked to the huge map he had hung in the lobby of the Privy Council, stretched out his hand and opened the curtain covering the map, and Erhu immediately handed him a thin wooden pole, and Gao Huaiyuan reached out to take it.
And Gao Huaiyuan's actions also attracted everyone's attention to this huge map, Gao Huaiyuan first looked at the map, and then pointed to Qin Fenglu on the map with a thin wooden pole and said with a smile: "This place has to be changed first!" This is our Qinfeng Road right now, not the Fengxiang Road and Lintao Road of the Jin Kingdom! Hehe!
There is also here, Tubo will also be marked in the future, and this is also the land of our Great Song Dynasty! In the next few years, I'm afraid this map will have to change frequently! β
The anger in everyone's hearts suddenly dissipated a lot, and they remembered that Gao Huaiyuan had just completed these two earth-shattering events, if Gao Huaiyuan was said to be a traitor now, then the ghost would not be able to believe it, Hong Zhikui's face was also red, and he stood up and said: "Please forgive me Gao Shu, I didn't choose what to say just now!" Please punish the cardinal! β
"Might as well be it! Lord Hong is also thinking about the country, as long as it is for the sake of our country's strength, even if he scolds Gao Mou's nose, Gao Mou will never be angry!
Let's listen to Gao now explain why Gao promised to give Jin Guo two years, and why he promised to give grain to Jin Guo! β¦β¦ (10,000 words are omitted here, and some people in the province scolded me for the cold wind!) You know why! οΌβ
Gao Huaiyuan pointed to the map with a wooden stick, and explained the plan in his belly to the officials present in detail, and finally he returned to his position, raised his hand and threw the small wooden stick to the two tigers standing behind him, picked up the tea bowl and said with a smile: "Yu Qi starved the Jin soldiers to death, it is better to give them food so that they can eat enough to fight with the Mongolian army!" What's more, this time we are not selling them grain cheaply, but selling them Jinguo grain at a higher price, such a cheap **, if we don't do it, wouldn't it seem that we are too stupid? Hehe!
Not to mention food, even if they ask us to sell armor, I plan to sell it to them, so many armor that have been removed from the army over the years have been wasted in the furnace and rebuilt, don't you think about it, wouldn't it be more appropriate to create more trap armor and equip our generals after returning with silver? In this regard, Gao Huaiyuan is really a little grateful to Lao Tzu in his previous life, which made him have a lot of profiteer elements in his genesγγγγγ
After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's explanation in detail, all the officials in the lobby showed a smile on their faces, although some of the civil officials had a hint of disdain on their faces, but they all had to secretly admire Gao Huaiyuan's foresight.
Hong Zhikui stood up again, walked in front of Gao Huaiyuan, bowed to Gao Huaiyuan and apologized: "Gao Shuxiang's words woke up the dreamer, it turns out that Gao Shuxiang actually has such ambitions, it is the subordinate that I offended Gao Shuxiang!"
I, Hong, apologize to Prime Minister Gao again here today! I also hope that Prime Minister Gao will forgive me, if Prime Minister Gao is not angry, he will dismiss Hong from office and exile thousands of miles away, and Hong will never complain! β
"Hahaha...... Lady Hong, where is this? Exile you thousands of miles away, where can I find Lord Hong so talented! Does Lord Hong really want the people of the world to drown me with saliva? I, Gao, are now infamous as a powerful minister! Give me another infamy of expelling loyal ministers, I can't afford it! Ha ha! Don't mention this again! I hope that Lord Hong will dispatch this matter! Gao Huaiyuan laughed and stepped forward to hug Hong Shikui, and personally sent Hong Shikui back to his place.
Many people in the lobby also smiled, they had to admire Gao Huaiyuan's big heart, this prime minister can support the boat in his belly, it seems that it is really applicable to Gao Huaiyuan!
