Su Jiudong didn't expect Emperor Tianduo to ask this question, so he only replied seriously after thinking about it carefully.

"Putting aside the alien people who stayed in the various states and roads of the world for the time being, according to the courtiers, the number of some alien nobles who settled in the capital was as high as hundreds."

Originally, after Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong learned about the situation of the aliens, Su Jiudong took the initiative to learn about the situation from Wen Yiheng and Su Fenglan, two natives of the capital.

After that, he also read a lot of books and documents related to the stay of aliens, so now Su Jiudong can have a clear grasp of the situation of aliens in the capital.

Emperor Tianduo explained: "The situation of these foreign nobles who stayed in the capital is different from the situation of the foreign nobles I have to deal with, these foreign nobles surrendered to our dynasty after the defeat of their own country earlier. ”

"I have always had a system of not killing prisoners, and there are these foreign nobles staying in the capital, which shows the spirit of a great country that accepts all rivers and rivers in my dynasty."

Su Jiudong obviously disagreed with Emperor Tianduo's statement in his heart, but he still quietly expounded the facts on the surface.

"However, the foreign nobles were penniless when they first came to our dynasty to surrender, and finally stayed in the capital, with no hometown to return, and all the expenses they spent in the capital were paid by Honglu Siqing, in other words, our dynasty was responsible for the expenses."

Su Jiudong emphasized in a heavy voice: "Some of these alien nobles in the capital have been in the capital for more than 20 years, they do not produce, but they have no worries about food and clothing, relying on the silver taels spent in the treasury of Honglu Temple and our dynasty, they have lived a leisurely life of marrying wives and having children. ”

"Not only do they buy and sell land and houses, but they even have spare money to open shops and banks...... Relying on the accumulation of these years, those foreign nobles have accumulated a lot of wealth, and they are already rich, but they continue to reach out to Honglu Temple every month to ask for silver..."

Speaking of this, Su Jiudong's emotions couldn't help but become more and more excited, both disgusted with these alien "vampires", and hated the numbness of the officials of the Great Yin Dynasty who were invisible to such a situation.

Su Jiudong calmed down and continued.

"According to the opinion of the courtiers, these foreign nobles only know how to suck and squander the financial resources of our dynasty, but they cannot bring the contribution that matches the wealth.

As Su Jiudong pointed out the current "bloodsucking" situation of foreign nobles staying in the capital, Emperor Tianduo couldn't help but be shocked, and even slightly reflected on whether it was his fault in fighting for many years after ascending the throne that led to the accumulation of the current situation.

The situation that Su Jiudong said was a conclusion drawn from the actual situation, and it was also different from the situation reported by the officials to Emperor Tianduo every year.

In order to write beautifully, the officials of the Ministry of Rites always only said that the foreign nobles stayed in the capital, which was to show the great power of the Great Yin Dynasty, and never mentioned the expenditure of the foreign nobles, so Emperor Tianduo had no understanding of the current situation.

Emperor Tianduo immediately slapped the table angrily: "The situation of these alien nobles in the capital is so serious, how did you know about it, but why don't I know it?!" ”

Su Jiudong was not frightened by Emperor Tianduo's anger, he was still calm and calm, and replied unhurriedly: "These situations are naturally the result of the courtier's on-the-spot understanding of the situation, and what the courtier's daughter said is just the truth. ”

"As the Son of Heaven, the Holy Lord can't go out of the palace to understand the people's situation at every turn, so naturally he doesn't know anything about the situation in the capital where he is located...... It can be seen that the eyes of the saint have been blinded by some people with ulterior motives. ”

When Su Jiudong said this, he had to make Yun Muyou, who was present, tremble, and even more sincerely admired Su Jiudong.

These words and these circumstances should have been told to the Son of Heaven by officials, not by Su Jiudong, the woman who lived in the boudoir. But the current situation is that the officials who do things choose to be flattered and bullied, and the women in the boudoir have the courage to stand up and expose the actual situation.

"These aliens suck up the financial resources of our dynasty, and the officials in charge dare to deceive and manipulate power under my nose, and the officials and businessmen collude ......" After being angry, Emperor Tianduo took a deep breath and shouted outside the palace: "Someone! Call the Book of Rites! ”

Liu Defeng immediately hurried into the palace to understand the situation, and Su Jiudong also stood up to stop Emperor Tianduo.

"The Holy One shall not ...... The source of this matter is still those foreign nobles, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are just a crime of coordination, if the Holy Lord really wants to deal with this matter, he can first solve the problem of the aliens, and then deal with the problem of the Ministry of Rites. ”

This is one of the reasons, and the second is naturally that Su Jiudong is unwilling to startle the snake, and scare away the traitors who stayed in Rongxin Buzhuang and were sent to communicate with Yun Mulin.

Su Jiudong glanced at Liu Defeng, and Liu Defeng slowly withdrew from the hall, but he didn't hear any movement.

After Emperor Tianduo roared just now, most of his anger was also vented, and his emotions at this time gradually calmed down.

Decisions made by people when they are impulsive are often unwise, and after Emperor Tianduo calmed down, he also realized that he really couldn't directly call the officials of the Ministry of Rites in to listen to the training, and instead continued to ask Su Jiudong for advice. UU Library

Emperor Tianduo sat back on the dragon chair and asked, "This is not possible, that is not possible, in your opinion, what actions are feasible?" ”

Emperor Tianduo's tone in the face of Su Jiudong was gentle and gentle, so Su Jiudong did not retreat because of the anger just now.

"The courtiers think that only by letting the Honglu Temple stop the expenses of the alien nobles, and then send the alien nobles in the capital to the West Surrender City in batches, and show the holy attitude to the aliens in the world, so that the subjects of the world can understand."

Emperor Tianduo felt very useful when he heard Su Jiudong's words, but after a while, he began to frown again: "What if they don't want to leave? ”

Yun Muyou stood up at this time and made a suggestion: "Erchen thinks that if there are foreign nobles who are unwilling to go, they can go to Honglu Temple to report and explain the reason for their reluctance, and then Honglu Temple is responsible for recruiting them into the army and recruiting them as courtiers." ”

Yun Muyou had witnessed Su Jiudong's performance and demeanor just now, and now he refused to miss the opportunity to perform in front of Emperor Tianduo, so he naturally hated to seize any opportunity to speak.

"In this way, we can not only justifiably stop their expenses, save the expenses of our dynasty, but also make the military establishment of our dynasty grow, no longer need to support their group of wasters, and it will not damage the great power bearing of our Great Yin Dynasty."

Yun Muyou's suggestion was to convert the nobles of different races who spent the imperial court silver taels for no reason into soldiers or officials who served the imperial court. In this way, the practice of Honglu Temple distributing silver to foreigners free of charge every year was solved, and new manpower was added to the army.

However, Su Jiudong couldn't help but laugh out loud after listening to Emperor Tianduo's question and Yun Muyou's answer.

Emperor Tianduo looked sideways at Su Jiudong's "abnormal" behavior: "Why did Jiudong'er laugh out loud? What's so funny about that? ”

Su Jiudong's smile gradually stopped, and there was still a faint smile left on the eyebrows between his eyes, and he replied slowly: "The smile of the courtiers is the wrong direction of thinking of the Laughing Saint and the Third Prince. ”

There may not be many people in the world like Su Jiudong, who dare to directly admit their "ridicule" of the Son of Heaven in front of the Son of Heaven. However, Su Jiudong's laughter and ridicule did not have many ingredients, so Emperor Tianduo could also tolerate her sudden laughter.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Tianduo and Yun Muyou still didn't realize that their thinking was wrong.

Su Jiudong put away his smile and said with a straight face: "The Holy One is the Son of Heaven, and those foreign nobles are at best guests in helpless situations, naturally the Holy One wants to send them there, so they have to go, why care if they want to go or not?" ”

"They have taken off the aura of their former aristocratic status, and they are just ordinary people, ordinary guests. Now the host wants to send off guests, and there is no reason why guests who stay outside can refuse. ”

Just now, when Emperor Tianduo asked "they don't want to", Su Jiudong knew that Emperor Tianduo had fallen into a strange circle, and he still couldn't see the current situation clearly.

Therefore, Su Jiudong thought that he was bound to stand up and explain the situation at this time, and wake up the blinded Tianduo Emperor and Yun Muyou, who couldn't see the situation clearly.

Yun Muyou was annoyed by Su Jiudong's saying that his suggestion was out of place at this time, and now after listening to Su Jiudong's explanation, he gradually reacted.

Su Jiudong glanced at Yun Muyou and said with a smile: "And those alien nobles have been pampered for so many years, they don't need to practice riding and archery every day like the princes and grandsons of my dynasty, but they are arrogant and lascivious, and indulge in pleasures. ”

"Such physical fitness, not to mention joining the army in the future to serve my Dayin Dynasty, even if they catch a thief, it will be difficult for them to go to the sky."

Su Jiudong made the final conclusion: "Therefore, the suggestion made by the third prince is not safe, only by sending all the aliens to the border city and preventing them from interacting with the officials of our dynasty and even the crown prince, will they not repeat the mistakes of the Yongjia Rebellion of the year." ”

Su Jiudong had already seen through Emperor Tianduo's attitude at this time, and knew that Emperor Tianduo would not severely punish the crown prince Yun Mulin and some of the court officials involved in this matter on the surface.

Since the part between the prince and the courtiers cannot be severed, Su Jiudong must start from the direction of the aliens and completely cut off the way for them to contact the people in the capital in the future.

Although Emperor Tianduo walked out of the strange circle, he was more concerned about his image as the Son of Heaven at this time: "If all those aliens are driven away in a short period of time, will it leave the impression that the people are ruthless and violent?" ”

Su Jiudong rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in a slightly helpless tone: "The people have also suffered from it for a long time, if the Holy Lord can do such things that benefit the people's livelihood, not only can he remove obstacles for the people, but also show his love for the people......

Su Jiudong clarified the facts for Emperor Tianduo, solved Emperor Tianduo's worries, and then began to show himself.

"However, the Holy Lord's summoning of the courtiers today is for consultation, and the courtiers are only making their own judgments and suggestions on the actual situation and the Holy Lord's questions today, as for how to deal with this matter in the future, it is all up to the divine will."
