Even though Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi sighed heavily, the rest of the strategists also had solemn faces.

"It's not a secret, what I've seen and heard along the way is really depressing. For many years, the old decay has followed the prince, and all they ask for is to see such a miserable scene again. ”

"Exactly. I don't know what the saint thinks. Doesn't his old man know such a miserable scene in the world? ”

Speaking of this, several strategists were filled with righteous indignation, and reprimanded one after another with dissatisfaction: "It is really too chilling for the saint to do this. As an emperor, what he thinks about all day long is not how to benefit the people, but how to concentrate his strength, regardless of the life or death of the people below. ”

"Yes, such an act, such a petty family, is really looked down upon."

They have been following Xiao Xiao for a long time, led by Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, and they can come into contact with many secret things that others have never touched, such as the matter of treasures, and those present are the ones who know, and they trust them so much, allowing them to come into contact with the most secret things, and everyone naturally feels that their status is higher than that of other uninvited strategists.

It was at this time that when these things were talked about to their faces, everyone had no scruples and said whatever came to mind.

Xiao Xiao let everyone vent all their thoughts in their hearts, and then said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to think more about what the Holy Lord has done. At present, the disaster is raging, and you must have seen it clearly along the way. ”

When Xiao Xiao spoke, everyone fell silent and looked at Xiao Xiao inquiringly.

"Natural disasters are raging, and the food donated by the Holy Lord is only given to the king eight carts. Walking from the capital to this place is exhausted. The journey to the south was long, and it was impossible for the imperial court to deliver relief for a while. The weather is getting cold day by day, and the people are hungry and cold, and how can they survive it. ”

When Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi and the others heard this, they vaguely guessed the intention of talking to them today, and they didn't open their mouths for a while, but carefully weighed the pros and cons in their hearts.

The strategists were all sharp and calculating, and they didn't need to be thorough in their words, so everyone understood that they were planning to use the treasure in order to help the victims.

"Lord Wang. You have a kind heart, a heart for the people, and you are deeply admired. But you also have to think about how hard it was to get that treasure in the first place. And this treasure is a killer feature for you! ”

"Yes, Lord Wang."

When one person opened his mouth, someone followed.

"The prince is a righteous man, and he doesn't care about gold and silver for the sake of the people. But the Son of Heaven has always been jealous of you, and he wants to kill you several times, and you are not for anything else at the moment, but only for the princess, and you also want to preserve your strength. ”

"Exactly. Lord Wang, those who have achieved great things can't be benevolent to women, and they simply pushed the opportunity to others, sacrificed themselves, and made wedding dresses for others. ”

"It's not easy for you to go all the way to the present, for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, for the loyalty of the saint, how much have you paid? But what did the Holy One do to you? This relief for the victims should have been done by the Holy One, but he refused to give food, but asked you to come to the disaster relief, in order to let you contribute plainly. ”

"Such a faint gentleman is really not worthy of your assistance. The Tatars have already reached Huichuan, and the faint king only thinks about being jealous of the heroes, and refuses to give you a chance to go to Huichuan at all. ”

……

A few people, you and I said a word, and all the grievances that had been accumulated in my heart for a long time were said in one go.

Xiao Xiao naturally knew that these people who were willing to follow him so far were all loyal. And what they say is true.

This time, if he took out the treasure because he couldn't look past it and didn't want the people to suffer, it was likely that the result would be that the strategists were worried, and he gave out the silver, but all the credit was taken by Li Qitian.

And even if everyone doesn't say it, they know it in their hearts. The silver for disaster relief is a bottomless pit at all, there are so many people affected by the disaster in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the people who are going all the way to the old capital of the Yan Dynasty have to pass by how many places and places do they have to pass? No matter how much treasure there is, how long can he hold on?

Xie Yue sighed and said, "Lord Wang, the matter of the people in the world eating food really shouldn't be on your shoulders. ”

"The prince has paid too much for the people and for the Great Zhou." As soon as they heard Xie Yue say this, the rest of the strategists immediately had the backbone.

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi are the two most trusted by Xiao Xiao's side, and it can be said that when all strategists make decisions or act incorrectly on weekdays, they must first look at the tone of these two. What they guess is basically what they think.

Therefore, as soon as Xie Yue opened his mouth, the rest of the strategists all spoke against Li Qitian, saying that he was selfish and unminded, but he didn't care about the life and death of the people, and even slapped the table and stood up and scolded the faint king.

"Lord, you must not be a woman's kindness! You think about the people, but maybe in the end those people eat the food you thought you bought, and in the end they don't thank you! ”

As soon as Xiao Xiao raised his hand when he heard this, everyone's voices gradually stopped, and they looked at Xiao Xiao expectantly.

Xiao Xiao looked at Xu Weizhi and smiled: "Mr. Xu, what do you think?" ”

Xu Weizhi raised his eyes to look at Xiao Xiao's handsome face, and saw that he had a gentle smile, and he couldn't read his emotions at all, so he blinked and thought about it for a while, and immediately understood.

"Lord Wang, the old man thinks that there is a saying that is very good." Xu Weizhi stood up and bowed.

Xiao Xiao wanted to smile and raise his eyebrows: "Oh? That's what Mr. Xu said. ”

"'Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat', there is another saying, the world of those who win the hearts of the people." Xu Weizhi smiled and calculated, and without going into details, he sat back down.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Xu Weizhi suspiciously.

However, everyone understands people, but they understand what Xu Weizhi means in the blink of an eye.

I can't help but feel a little lost.

Those with a more stable temper can still hold back and not say a word.

And the more impatient ones were already anxious: "Lord Wang, you have to think clearly." That treasure is not good, and that is likely to be the root of your use of troops in the future. This will be used, saving those irrelevant people, and maybe even putting gold on the face of the faint king. What the hell are you trying to do! ”

"Those who become big things are not informal, Lord Wang, you must not be a woman's kindness!"

Xie Yue shook his head: "You have probably forgotten what our original intention of following the prince was. ”

Several people's eyes moved to Xie Yue.

Xie Yue said: "What you brothers say is reasonable. We are all like this for the great affairs of the prince, and the reason why the prince is worthy of us to follow like this, would rather shed his blood for the prince, is it not because of the prince's character?

"If the prince doesn't think about the lives of the people at this time, and only thinks about preserving the treasure, what is the difference between what he does and the faint king?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. I couldn't find the words to refute it for a while.

Xie Yue said: "The old man agrees with Brother Xu's statement, now is the time for the prince to win the hearts of the people." The daughter is scattered and comes back, the prince has a bright future, so why should he stick to these yellow and white things now? ”

There was silence in the room, and everyone was analyzing the words of Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi.

It can be seen that the prince has already decided.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiao Xiao stood up and said slowly: "This king followed the Son of Heaven to unveil the rod, because the Northern Hebei Emperor was mediocre and unreasonable, and the people were fishy and fleshy, and there was no time for peace in the world. This king wanted to return the world to a clear state, so he inherited his father's will and followed the Son of Heaven.

"Over the years, this gang has not sought merit, but no fault, even if he sacrificed his family and suffered some grievances, this king can endure it. Because the king knows what he wants. What this king wants is never personal glory, but the world, which will change into what this king expects.

"The world is so big, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, if there are no people, how can the fields be cultivated? How do offspring reproduce? How can a great Zhou without people resist the invasion of foreign tribes? When the time comes, the Tatar threshing grass will not be driven straight into the capital directly? ”

When everyone listened to Xiao Xiao's sonorous and powerful words, they couldn't help but be enthusiastic.

Oh, yes. Over the years, they have followed the Xiaoxiao, made suggestions, and gone through ups and downs, although they want to follow the dragon's work, but when they followed the Xiaoxiao, who was not full of enthusiasm and made a proposal for the world?

After so many years, they are getting closer and closer to success, but they have forgotten the original idea.

"What we are for, everyone knows in their hearts." Xiao Xiao said in a deep voice: "This king's decision is to use the treasure of Dayan to relieve the disaster, and truly take it from the people and the people, what are your objections?" ”

After a long talk, who can not understand Xiao Xiao's thoughts?

There are people who oppose it in their hearts. I don't think the money is worth it here. However, the most important thing is that he has always maintained his original purpose, to let the people live a good life, which really makes them admire.

A few people who have been calculating the future of Dragon Gong now really understand what it means to be passionate and proud. Even their inherent thoughts are diluted.

Seeing that no one objected, he said, "In this case, this king intends to order someone to send the treasure back quietly." This year's season is not good, most of the people have no harvest at home, and some wealthy businessmen have already stockpiled a large amount of grain as early as the beginning of the disaster, and there is not a lot of grain in the world, but it is not in the hands of the saints.

"Now that the king intends to retrieve the treasure, he has begun to ask people to look around for suitable candidates for grain and grass. Even if the price of rice is expensive, how can that large treasure support it for a while. After surviving this winter, the spring flowers will bloom in the coming year, and the victims will return to their hometowns to resume farming, and life will be better. “

"What the prince said is reasonable, there are really many profiteers who make it difficult to make money. I'm afraid that the prince will go to buy grain, and then he will end up full of fish. Xu Weizhi advised.

"This king knows. Naturally, the king has a way to deal with these people. ”

When the strategists saw that they had already made up their minds, and no matter how much they spoke, they couldn't change his mind, so they all quieted down, no longer pointing fingers, and only thinking about how to help him do things well.

"Lord Wang, this matter is not difficult to do. It's just a matter of buying food normally, but when we set up a porridge shed in the future, we will use more food, and I don't believe that those traitors will not take this opportunity to make a fortune. ”
