Chapter 196: Xie Chen borrowed food
The sound of 'click' sounded in the hall, Xie Chen couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, he thought that he was unmatched in terms of cheekiness, and he didn't expect to be able to meet his opponent, and the opponent was still the examiner who invigilated him at the beginning.
He thought for a moment, and asked tremblingly, "Can I, can I ask why?" β
The main reason is that the intersection between them is really not deep, and this person seems to be not small.
Seventeen looked at him with an expression that was obviously stupid, "What else can I do, I don't have any money!" β
This made Xie Chen choke up a little, and he changed his question, "I mean, the intersection between us is not deep, right?" Why are you asking me to borrow money? How much to borrow? β
"Not deep!" Seventeen replied as a matter of course: "You are the richest man in Dayan, and you are also the head of the household, only you can save the eastern realm." β
"As for how much to borrow?" Seventeen put down the melon seeds, walked to him and sat down, put it on his shoulder, smiled ill-willedly, and raised his eyebrows, "Brother Xie, how many do you have?" β
He is the richest man in the house, and asking him how much money he has is simply insulting him, but Xie Chen didn't dare to answer, he has heard of this person in Seventeen, and the civil officials of the half dynasty are his protΓ©gΓ©s, and they are very dogs.
He pondered, "Yun Qigongzi, it's not that I'm stingy, it's just that you can see the current situation, the family members of the Manchu Dynasty are trapped in the harem, even if I have that heart, I don't have that ability, the city gate is sealed, and I can't get out at all." β
Xie Chen is a businessman, and he will deal with people and quietly test Seventeen.
Seventeen didn't go around in circles with him, ripped off the token on his waist and played with it in his hand, "I'll just ask Lord Xie a word, which one do you choose in front of your family and country?" β
This question is really difficult, no matter which one is standing on the moral high ground to contain people, although Xie Chen did not say it, but he had already made a choice in action, Xiao Ye trapped his family, and he let it be slaughtered.
"If Lord Xie doesn't answer, then I'll answer for you, I don't choose any of them, I only do the right thing at the moment."
Xie Chen didn't speak, but heard him suddenly say seriously: "At present, there is a shortage of food in the east, if the materials cannot be delivered in time, they will definitely die, and when the people are displaced, no amount of guilt and regret can make up for it." β
"I know I'm embarrassed to come to you today, but you are the only one in Kyoto who can do it, so please consider it carefully."
Xie Chen listened to his words, fell silent for a long time, "Yun Qigongzi came to me, I'm afraid I have made complete preparations, right?" β
Seventeen didn't intend to hide it from him, "After a day, your Imperial Chamber of Commerce has a problem, and you can't solve this problem without coming forward in person." β
"What did you do?"
Seventeen shook his shoulder, "I didn't do anything, but I just held on to one of them." β
"It's just a deduction of a link, can I personally come forward to solve it?"
"Each county deducted a link."
Xie Chen's breath was stagnant, and he looked at him with an expression of "sure enough", he said that he was a very dog, and it was impossible to come to him like this, but he was not angry, but he felt that an iron fist was hitting a lump of cotton, and he was very tired.
He was not polite to him, his body relaxed, opened the golden fan and fanned it violently, "In that case, what did Yun Qigongzi mean by what he just said?" β
"There are some things that you have to be willing, and if you are not careful, you give your back to the enemy." He looked at him nonchalantly, "Then Grand Master Xie, are you willing?" β
The evil nature of Seventeen Lives is just staring at Xie Chen like this, seeing him like he is sitting on pins and needles, he stood up, not very comfortable, "Why did you come to me?" β
"You're rich!"
Xie Chen couldn't hold back, and kicked him on the knee, "Say that this son is smart and capable, and he will die!" β
Seventeen took his kick, leaned on the couch, crossed Erlang's legs and continued to knock his melon seeds, "Then Mr. Xie agreed?" β
"I am a dignified Yan Erlang, it is natural to protect my family and defend the country, why should I not agree? It's not difficult to make money when it's gone. β
The sentence that making money is not a difficult thing really hurt Seventeen, and he ignored his words, "Then your father, your family, you don't care?" β
"Huh!" Xie Chen smiled indifferently, "Tube! No matter what! I will give them to defend their homes and the country, and they will be safe and happy for their children and grandchildren. β
"Besides, isn't there still a son?"
"Me?" Seventeen pointed to himself and sat up, slightly shocked.
Xie Chen learned from him and hugged his shoulder, "I Xie Chen has no other skills, I don't have a good eye for people, you and the princess are both righteous people in their hearts, and they won't let us be ruthless and unrighteous people." β
Seventeen pushed him away, "Are you relying on us?" β
Xie Chen didn't respond, probably that's what he meant.
The more Seventeen thought about it, the more wrong it became, "Do you know who I am?" β
Xie Chen slapped the fan on the palm of his hand, "I know, the famous General Qinwang, the seventeenth general of the Northern Territory, it stands to reason that you should be in the Northern Territory now." β
A gust of wind blew, echoing in the empty hall, and seventeen hands crossed their hips, "Since you know who I am, Lord Xie, who is the eldest of our two officials, you talk to me like this?" β
These civil officials are in a hurry to take the position, originally to replace the position of those corrupt officials, to stay until the world is peaceful, the hundred officials are afraid that there will be a big reform, and when the time comes, they will not be able to keep their positions, unlike Seventeen, the real official position is his own down, so they are all the same product, and there is really a difference between the high and the low.
Seventeen eyebrows raised, he was a hooligan who was a complete ruffian, Xie Chen said that he would not lose to him, and tapped his chest with the handle of the fan, and attached himself to his ear, "When will you become a concubine, your official will be bigger than me, and the general still needs to work hard." β
Seventeen's face changed slightly, and he watched him walk out with a smile on his face, and his mouth was curled, hey, he thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't expect the whole world to know about his relationship with the little lady, which really embarrassed him.
He looked at Xie Chen's appearance as if he was more than him, and consciously met his opponent, with his hands on his waist, "You just left?" β
"Or else? If I go back later, I'm afraid I'm going to take out all my money? β
Seventeen thought about it, it was true, it was better to let him go back early.
The sky was still slightly cold, Xie Chen walked towards the palace with a calm face, there was a faint dark blue under his eyes, if he looked carefully, he could still see a trace of anger hidden under his fist.
As he passed by the attic of Zhangyunjian, he glanced upward, and Seventeen looked at him with a wonton, smiling maliciously.
He stepped on the hustle and bustle of the morning, and rushed all the way to the palace, if you want to say that among this group of civil officials, who Xiao Ye treats, it may be reluctant to thank the Chen Yi people, not why, because he has money in his hands, and he will make money, and he Xiao Ye leads the troops to fight, and it costs a lot of money.
Xie Chen knelt respectfully in front of the hall, waiting for Xiao Ye's response, and after a long time, Xiao Ye said: "Do you say that your way was intercepted, or is it your own people, a traitor?" He also broke the road of the transporter? Not only that, but more than one person? β
Xie Chen wiped the dense sweat on his forehead and said cautiously: "Yes." β
At the same time, he kept slandering Seventeen in his heart, what way is it not good, he has to think of this method?
Seventeen's thinking was simple, and Xiao Ye couldn't let Xiao Ye suspect them, so they could only start their own infighting, which allowed Wushushe to intercept their way of life.
Poor Xie Chen is about to face Xiao Ye alone, Xiao Ye has a bad headache recently, and he is not in a good mood, and now that he hears the news, he is even more angry, and he casually loses the cup at hand, "What do you eat for a day, and you can't even manage the people under you?" β
Xie Chen didn't dare to talk, so he had to bow his head to the ground and beg for mercy.
"What else can be done now?"
He has so many soldiers under his command, if the official road between the household department and the Xie family is cut off, there will be no logistics support, and the treasury cannot afford to consume so many soldiers.
Su Li looked at the anxious Xiao Ye from the side, and did not step forward to dissuade him, Xie Chen took the opportunity to say: "My subordinates only deduct the middle link, not all of them have different intentions, as long as they make up the middle link." β
"Then don't go yet!" Xiao Ye smashed another cup down, just hitting Xie Chen's feet, Xie Chen hurriedly got up, "Weichen will go and deal with it." β
After that, he hurried out.
"Wait!"
Xie Chen stopped, Xiao Ye also stopped his gaze on him, Su Li stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Xie is a dignified household secretary, because of such a trivial matter, leaving Beijing, no one guards Beijing, I am afraid that the household department will be chaotic?" β
"What do you think?"
"According to Su, it's better to leave this little matter to the people below to do, no matter how troublesome it is, the people below will understand one day."
Xie Chen smiled and turned to look at him, "Mr. doesn't know, my Xie family is in business, and I am in the name of the royal family. β
"In order to save road consumption, every road of the Imperial Merchants and Official Movement is carefully designed by me, and the road." He pointed to the location of his heart, "It's all in my heart, even if others understand it, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it." β
His Xie family was originally an imperial businessman, and after Xie Chen became an official, he reopened up several pipelines, all of which the Xie family wanted to open up before and had no right to open it at that time, and it turned out that Xie Chen did have a business mind, and in a short period of time, he reaped a lot of benefits.
Xie Chen saw that Xiao Ye was a little hesitant, so he knelt down again, "If Your Majesty is worried about Wechen's corruption, you can send someone to go with me, Wechen's family is still in the palace, and Wechen will come back no matter what." β
He woke up Xiao Ye without moving, Xiao Ye's expression moved slightly, and finally he relented, "Go ahead, I will send someone to escort you, remember, your family is still in the palace." β
Xie Chen walked on the corridor of long-term production, and couldn't help laughing, Seventeen is right, the more greedy people are, the easier it is to lose themselves, the former decisive Dongjing general has now become a suspicious emperor, which makes people laugh.
He left in a hurry, and left with the family members in the house, and Seventeen followed him by pretending to be Xiao Si, "How many people will you bring with you and nothing?" What do you take to the East? β
Xie Chen glanced at him disdainfully, "My Xie family has a lot of territory, where can I not squander it?" Could it be that I was asked to bring grain and grass from Kyoto to people in a big way, but it was not an obvious telling people to ask someone to rob it. β
"It's you, hurry up and tell someone to let go, I'm going to transfer, don't delay for a while."
Seventeen pursed his lips, but he couldn't say anything, and suddenly thought of something, "How long will it take for you to send the first batch of grain and grass?" β
"Even if it is the Xie family's shop closest to the eastern border, it will take at least seven days to mobilize grain, grass, and materials after receiving the news, plus the distance to escort it over."
"No way!" Seventeen lowered his voice, "The princess mobilized the national supplies of the Wushu House, and it will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest, and they can't hold out that long." β
The two of them were also silent, and Seventeen suddenly said, "Do you have any secret orders from the Xie family?" β
Xie Chen glanced at him lightly, with the meaning that he was a negative man, and he raised his forehead, "If you believe me, give me the secret order in your hand, and I will let people directly send the news back to the east, so that they can quickly send the grain and grass over, and you will coordinate in the rear." β
"It's not that I won't give it to you, it's just that I usually go in person for such a large batch of goods, otherwise the people below won't dare to deliver it easily."
It is indeed not a small amount, after all, it is so much grain and grass, or sent to the north, Seventeen frowned, and kept calculating.
"To whom?"
Seventeen suddenly raised his head, Xie Chen threw the golden fan in his hand to him, and looked ahead without squinting, "This is handed down by my ancestors, your people take this, they shouldn't embarrass you." β
"Who are you sending?"
Seventeen smiled and summoned Jing Ming, who was wearing Xiao Si behind him, Xie Chen often went to Wushu, so he naturally knew him, and when he saw that he was still a child, he couldn't help but be a little worried, "He's still a child, can he do it?" β
Jing Ming quietly wrapped the Jing fan into the square handkerchief and put it in his arms.
The leaves are flying, everything in the palace is calm, and the emperor who thinks about the people has since fallen, half a lifetime of hard work, and a few strokes end in the history books that no one reads.
Xiao Yuanqing knelt in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside the window, the moon was full, and he was wearing a dragon robe, planning a unique plan.
Ye Feng surrounded the palace, the news could not be transmitted, Xiao Ye and Gao Qing didn't know what was going on in the palace, they listened to their father's words, and led people to control the prince's mansion in advance, creating the illusion that the prince was rebelling.
There was no signal in the palace for a long time, and I only saw someone leading troops into the palace, and they did not dare to do anything outside in ambush.
The prince's mansion was in chaos, the crown princess Gao Ling was in control of the overall situation, seeing that the side concubine was bleeding profusely, and a basin of hot water stained with red blood was sent out, giving people a nervous feeling, Xiao Yu'an held the princess's hand nervously, although he didn't understand, but he also knew that the atmosphere was solemn, standing quietly aside with a wrinkled face, and comforting his mother.
Gao Ling knew that there were people outside who coveted the Prince's Mansion, and she also knew that this was her mother's family, but it was ridiculous that as her mother's family, she was calculating him all her life, and she was trying to calculate her son.
She listened to the cry of despair inside, and two tears crossed her, "What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" β
Before the next person arrived, a long bell rang from the direction of the palace, Gao Ling staggered, looking at the direction of the palace in a daze, and everyone also looked in that direction, and they all knelt down, only Gao Ling and Xiao Yu'an were still standing.
"It's out, it's out! The side concubine is born!"
At the same time, a fire appeared in the sky, and Xiao Ye saw the signal and took the lead in leading people to surround the prince's mansion.
There was silence in the room, there was no sound of newborn babies crying, only whimpering cries, Gao Ling led Xiao Yu'an to the door, looking at the lifeless baby in the arms of the midwife, and finally did not stand firmly.
