Chapter 9 Fire prevention, theft prevention, and concubine prevention
When she woke up the next morning, Ling Niang's face was slightly haggard, obviously tired, but her heart was extremely sweet.
Liang Xiao's gentleness made her taste happiness when she first became a wife.
The two of them are like glue, you and I don't want to be separated for a moment.
After washing, Liang Xiao was worried that Hua Zeji would bully Ling Niang, so he took Ling Niang to the palace together.
The original owner was domineering and domineering, doing whatever he wanted, the palace of the emperor's power, he could do whatever he wanted, and sometimes even took the big black to the hall.
In his eyes, the Jinluan Hall is their family's latrine, and if he is happy, he will go, and if he is not happy, he will not go.
As soon as I arrived in the main hall, I felt that the atmosphere was not right.
The civil and military officials stood with their hands down, all with frightened expressions on their faces, as if a catastrophe was coming.
The military department Shangshu Yu Wenshun played in the column.
"Your Majesty, Beiliang waved 100,000 troops south, and the border pass was urgent! If it weren't for the trebuchet built overnight, it would have been breached a long time ago, and even then, we wouldn't have lasted long. ”
After Huang Dayao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the ranks, he knelt in front of the hall with a plop.
Hearing the urgency of the border pass, he trembled with fright and cried.
"Emperor Shengming, you can't go to war, the Northern Liang army is ten times better than me, if we come on a big scale, we will have a catastrophe, now the only way is to cut the land and pay compensation, appease the Northern Liang, and avoid war, is the best strategy."
Then hundreds of civil and military officials, hulala knelt down.
"The ministers and others all agreed with Huang Shilang's countermeasures, ceding land and paying compensation, and avoiding war, so as not to put the Jiangshan Society in danger and the people in trouble."
Liang Xiao took a look at these guys who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and were content with pleasure.
These stinky and shameless guys don't care about any inviolable dignity at all, they just want to spend every day drinking, singing and dancing, just a group of moths.
In the memory of the original owner, those civil and military generals who fought mainly were all exiled.
Looking at these guys, I can't get angry, and it should be these moths who are greedy for life and afraid of death who should be exiled.
So he turned to Huang Dayao and scolded with disgust.
"Huang Shilang is really a model of worrying about the country and the people, but it's a pity that these eyes are blind, how much land do you have to cut, and how much money do you have to pay to them to be satisfied? If you keep cutting it like this, aren't you afraid of the demise of Nanliang? ”
Huang Dayao immediately fell to the ground and began to cry again.
"Emperor Shengming, it's not that we don't dare to fight, it's because we really can't fight, the ministers are loyal to the country, heaven and earth can be learned, only the land is cut and the compensation is appeased, and the anger of the Northern Liang is the best strategy!"
Liang Xiao scolded angrily.
"You dog, you know the compensation for the land cut, you have lost the treasury over the years, and then you will cut it to the emperor's dragon bed, you eat things inside and out, don't think that no one knows what you did!"
Hearing Liang Xiao scold him like this, Huang Dayao was suddenly frightened and almost lost his soul.
Could it be that what he did really let this waste wood prince know?
Even so, Huang Dayao kept crying at the emperor.
"The emperor must be the master of the minister, the minister is loyal and thinks about the safety of Nanliang, but he is doubted by the prince, and the minister is really wronged!"
Liang Xiao sneered.
"You dog, you are wronged, I am not wronged to kill you a hundred times and back."
After speaking, he took out a secret report from the sleeve of his robe, strode up to the high platform, and slapped the secret report on the dragon case.
"Father, look at this thing inside and out, he has already vented with Beiliang in one nostril, and every time he cuts land and pays compensation, he takes a lot of kickbacks."
In the entire Jinluan Palace, the air froze in an instant, the needle drop could be heard, and there was no sound of breathing.
What the hell is wrong with this waste wood prince?
Usually he just checks who has a girl who has just grown up, and whether there are any new girls in the Goulan Academy? Why are you still investigating the government today?
Everyone had a chill on their backs and a cold wind because their buttocks were not clean.
The emperor glanced at the secret report, which clearly recorded that every time Huang Dayao sent an envoy to Beiliang, he promised to pay compensation for the land cution, and the amount of silver taels he rebated from it.
There have been thousands of taels of silver in total, which is equivalent to hundreds of millions now.
The emperor was first shocked, and then overjoyed, he didn't expect this stubborn son to start participating in court politics.
His face sank, and he picked up the secret report and raised it to Huang Dayao.
"Huang Dayao, what's going on here? Explain it to me. ”
Huang Dayao was so frightened that he almost vomited blood, but he cried hard.
"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the prince is spewing blood, what evidence is there? The emperor wants to be the master of the ministers! ”
Liang Xiao sneered.
"You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin."
After speaking, he turned to the outside of the hall and shouted.
"Where's the guard? Bring someone to me. ”
It turned out that Liang Xiao took Ling Niang on the way back from Beiliang.
Huang Dayao was afraid that he would make a fuss and cut off his financial route, so he kept brainwashing him.
Liang Xiao immediately suspected that he might have taken kickbacks in his diplomacy with Northern Liang, so after returning to Beijing, he immediately ordered Xiao Yiwei to investigate.
The guard escorted Huang Dayao's favorite concubine into the main hall, followed by the imperial doctor.
The Imperial Doctor stepped forward and knelt down.
"Emperor Qi, on the orders of the crown prince, in the house of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, found out a thousand taels of silver, and after reviewing the family, it was a kickback given by Beiliang."
Huang Dayao was suddenly like a water dog with a broken backbone.
Immediately lay on the ground and wailed for mercy.
"The emperor is gracious, the ministers deserve death, and the emperor spares his life!"
The emperor Long Yan was furious and snapped the dragon case.
"Push Huang Dayao out of the noon gate and behead the public, and exterminate the nine clans."
Huang Dayao fainted with fright on the spot, and was dragged out directly by the samurai.
The emperor glanced at the little concubine who was trembling in fright.
"Kill this slut."
Liang Xiao immediately stepped forward to block the road.
"Father, no, this little woman has made a meritorious report, and she should be rewarded, and anyone who reports it in the future must be rewarded."
The emperor has been obedient to the original owner since he was a child, and the original owner is the same.
At this time, seeing that his son is so assertive, and what he said is very reasonable, how can he not allow it.
"It's up to the emperor, and the reward is heavy."
The ministers of the court all pinched a cold sweat, and in the future, they will have to prevent fire, theft, and concubines!
Liang Xiao said again.
"Your Majesty, now that Nanliang is in a period of crisis, and there are few people in Nanliang, you can cancel the extermination of the nine clans in the future, and one person will be responsible for committing a crime, like Huang Dayao, who has committed a heinous crime, can send the nine clans to the mine and contribute to the country."
The emperor was suddenly overjoyed.
"My son is smart, this method is good! Okay, just send Huang Dayao's nine clans to the mine. ”
Liang Xiao then said.
"Erchen still has something to play the emperor."
The emperor waved his hand with a smile.
"Wu'er doesn't need to start playing, it's tiring to stand and talk, come, you come and sit on the court for me, this leg is numb, get up and walk around."
As he spoke, he got up, gave up the dragon chair to Liang Xiao, then held Liang Xiao's hand, patted Liang Xiao's shoulder with great affection, and pulled Liang Xiao to the dragon chair and sat down.
