Chapter 265: If you don't lift it, I'm not
Just when Mu Chonglan and Su Chengmo were thinking about something, and the other was shouting and killing in their hearts, and they were not in the same line at all, Xiao Xiantang didn't know anything.
He was quietly taken to the palace by Emperor Sheng's people and met Emperor Sheng.
"It's only been two days since I've been back, so you call me to the palace for two days."
"For the sake of Dasheng's loyalty, have you been wronged?"
"That's not true, but somebody is too old to lift up, and there is nothing to do at night, but I am not idle." Xiao Xiantang did not hesitate, and did not have any politeness to Emperor Sheng.
Emperor Sheng was choked by his words, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, which made the empty hall, which was already only two people, even quieter.
When Emperor Sheng reacted, he instantly understood that someone in Xiao Xiantang's mouth meant him, and he became angry for a while, but he couldn't ask yet, otherwise it was hard to guarantee that Xiao Xiantang wouldn't give him another sentence, "I didn't name him, why bother to sit down", wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?
"Ahem." Emperor Sheng coughed dryly, hiding a little embarrassment: "I summoned you to the palace to tell you that the matter of grain price changes has been determined, and if nothing happens, there will be a price war tomorrow." ”
Xiao Xiantang raised his eyebrows and didn't say much, just looked at Emperor Sheng coldly, waiting for him to continue.
Emperor Sheng also pondered for a moment before he continued to speak: "The method of unified control you proposed is indeed feasible, but it is not easy to implement, just the group of old horsemen in the household department, they will not be willing to let go of this piece of fat to their mouths." ”
Due to the disaster and the urgency of grain and grass at the border gates, the price of grain is bound to start a price war.
At first, Emperor Sheng didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't until recently that he found out that Xiao Xiantang's speculation was not unreasonable, so he took out Xiao Xiantang's fold again, looked through it carefully, and found that Xiao Xiantang's fold was written on the unified control of grain prices, and set up the Imperial Commercial Bank, which was indeed a good way to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, at least the treasury would be much fuller.
But......
Emperor Sheng coughed lightly again, and said: "You should understand, you are just a small official, no foundation, no power, I want to ask those old horsemen in the household department to obey you, it is absolutely impossible, so I want you to go to Yanzhou, hone well, and earn some meritorious returns." ”
Hearing such high-sounding words, Xiao Xiantang couldn't help but sneer: "So, who are you going to hand over to the unified control thing?" ”
"This ...... You don't need to ask. Emperor Sheng said.
"The crown prince is the prince, but he was overwhelmed by the sixth prince Xiao Jingrui, this errand of unified control of grain prices is indeed a good errand that wins the hearts of the people and can establish authority, right?" Xiao Xiantang said with some sarcasm.
Emperor Sheng heard his sarcasm, and his face showed some anger, in the end, it was the Son of Heaven who had been on the throne for many years, how could he allow others to be so contemptuous, but when he saw the disappointment in Xiao Xiantang's eyes, he still sighed: "I understand your unwillingness, I think you have always been different, no matter where you go, you can make a career, so it's not bad for this time." ”
After saying such high-sounding words, Emperor Sheng waved his hand to signal Xiao Xiantang to leave.
Xiao Xiantang walked out of the hall, looking at the moon and stars above his head, he only felt that things in this world were ridiculous.
"There are assassins, catch assassins."
"Quick, don't let the assassins escape." There was a noise, and the Ouchi guards became strict one by one.
Xiao Xiantang had secretly entered the palace, and after hearing this, he couldn't help frowning, and retreated to a hidden place, he didn't want to be seen, and then became an assassin to take it down.
He thought that with Emperor Sheng's temperament, if he really asked someone to take it, Emperor Sheng might not testify for him, so it was better to save himself.
"Xiao Xiantang." A very thin, familiar voice came.
Xiao Xiantang's heart tightened, he turned his head to look, and found that there was a small figure hiding not far behind him, the night clothes were tightly wrapped, and a pair of eyes were not Mu Chonglan, who else could it be?
"Why are you here?" Xiao Xiantang asked in a low voice.
As soon as Mu Chonglan wanted to answer, Xiao Xiantang stopped her, took her hand, and took her through several palace gates, and finally entered a palace through a secret passage.
The palace was deserted, and there was no light, Mu Chonglan looked left and right, and found that this should be an idle palace.
Xiao Xiantang dragged her to the inner hall, and then listened to the movement outside.
"They left, they didn't search here." Mu Chonglan's eyes rolled, her internal strength was strong, and her ear power was also amazing, and she faintly heard those big internal guards say that there were dead people here, haunted or something.
Thinking of this, Mu Chonglan couldn't help but pout secretly, this is the palace, which palace has not died? These Ouchi guards are so afraid, and I don't know how they became Ouchi guards, don't go through the back door, right?
Waiting for the guards to leave, Xiao Xiantang breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Mu Chonglan to sit down.
The two looked at each other, Mu Chonglan quickly shrunk his neck weakly, and muttered in a low voice: "You haven't returned for a long time, I'm worried that something will happen to you, so I'll come and take a look." ”
Xiao Xiantang frowned: "Only you?" ”
"Those shadow guards you arranged for me can't outrun me." Mu Chonglan said with a smile, looking very proud.
Xiao Xiantang's face sank, he didn't tell Mu Chonglan about arranging the shadow guard for Mu Chonglan, but it was obvious that Mu Chonglan knew.
"You shouldn't get rid of them, although those shadow guards are not as strong as you, but the means and ability to fight the enemy are far superior to you, with them, you won't be chased as an assassin." Xiao Xiantang rubbed his sore eyebrows, Mu Chonglan's strength seemed to be stronger, most of the shadow guards under him were newly cultivated, so it was naturally difficult to compare with Mu Chonglan, but Mu Chonglan's combat ability and scheming were indeed a shortcoming, so he was right when he said so.
Mu Chonglan didn't say anything, but looking at her performance, she was mostly unconvinced, and the gradually growing strength was indeed difficult for her not to be proud of.
Xiao Xiantang understands that in Mu Chonglan's current state, what she needs most is to meet someone stronger than her to suppress her, so as to stabilize her internal strength and change her mentality, so that she will not be impetuous, and her martial arts will stop.
However, it is not easy to find a peer who is stronger than Mu Chonglan, and those old monsters disdain to shoot at a junior like Mu Chonglan.
"Mu Chonglan, you shouldn't come." Xiao Xiantang sighed and continued: "I have told you more than once, in this capital, there seem to be few masters, but in fact, there are a lot of old monsters hidden, your internal strength is really special, it is yourself, and it is also a coveted elixir, so let you hide it, just because of this, you will be safer."
