Chapter 190: Was It Too Late for Me to Be Wrong?
I...... I've always been alone, and I haven't partnered with those corrupt officials, right?
How did Your Majesty find out?
And check it so carefully?
Just when Wang Chuxi was in a cold sweat and at a loss.
Zhao Shuo said: "Uncle Guo is embarrassed to say that he is like a family with me?" ”
"Tell me what's going on with all that salt, silver, and iron ore you're transporting?"
"What's the matter with you hoarding so much food?"
Zhao Shuo got up angrily, grabbed the Longquan Sword next to him and walked down.
As soon as Wang Chuxi came, his face turned white.
knelt directly on his knees: "Your Majesty is angry, the old minister is wrong, is it still okay for the old minister to tell His Majesty?" Your Majesty, don't use the sword! ”
Zhao Shuo walked up to the front and said, "Let's talk about it, how many military supplies have you hoarded now?" ”
"This ......"
"Don't say yes, do you? Li Huai. ”
"The minions are here."
"Go and inform Gao Yu, now start raiding Uncle Guo's house."
"Yes."
"Wait!" Wang Chuxi was immediately anxious.
"Your Majesty, you give the old minister a chance, we are like a family."
"Then can you tell the truth?"
"Confess, the old minister will give an explanation."
Wang Chuxi squeaked for a long time, and popped out a few words: "Actually, it's only two million taels." ”
"Oh, then I'll have to see what Martial Virtue is investigating."
Hearing that Zhao Shuo didn't believe it, Wang Chuxi hurriedly said: "No, it's not two million taels, it's the old minister who remembered it wrongly, it seems to be six million taels." ”
Zhao Shuo's face was gloomy: "Only six million? You're not going to hide it, are you? ”
"Ouch, Your Majesty, what the old minister said is true, the old minister is sixty years old, and he only took six million taels, to be honest, the old minister feels that he has a clear conscience, far less than the corrupt officials that His Majesty found out before."
"What? Listen to you, are you still proud? ”
"No, no, no, Wang Chuxi, Wang Chuxi, when it comes to this point, don't lick your face and talk to me."
"Do you know what Da Song is facing now? The country is in danger, the treasury has no money, do you know how bad you are doing? ”
Wang Chuxi knelt on the ground, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has definitely not done anything hurtful to heaven and reason, and the minister's income over the years is the difference in price." ”
"The old minister has not looted the people's fat and ointment, let alone expropriated the people."
"Really? So where did all this money come from? ”
"Your Majesty, it's all run by the ministers themselves."
"You think you're smart and in business? But if you don't have the relationship of being an uncle of the dynasty? Those merchants will do business with you, will they let you run? Besides, does the imperial court allow you to do those things? Salt and iron ore are the lifeblood of my Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Your Majesty, this is not to blame the old minister."
Wang Chuxi's grievances were about to cry.
"It's mainly not the old minister who does this business."
"Who else?"
"This, Your Majesty, the old minister can't remember!"
looked at such a bad uncle.
Zhao Shuo had a feeling that he wanted to beat but wanted to laugh.
After all, in history, Wang Chuxi was definitely a proper calf protector for Song Qinzong.
Not to mention that when Li Gang asked Song Huizong to let Chan, Wang Chuxi was the first to stand up and support.
It can be said that without this uncle, there would be no Zhao Shuo's current throne.
But so what?
This uncle was greedy for life and afraid of death, and when he asked him to cut someone, he directly wanted to sue him in bed.
I even faint at the sight of blood.
Someone who knows him loyally, but can't be reused.
Typical mud can't hold up the wall.
Made, so angry!
"Say, what should I do with you now?"
"Your behavior is no different from Shen Zhaoqing."
"According to reason, you are going to be raided, or like Zhao Lindong and Liu Ji, you will be sent to the frontier."
Wang Chuxi was a little confused: "Your Majesty, you can't." ”
"You said that as long as Weichen told the truth, you would tolerate Lao Chen."
"Did I say anything like that? You'll understand. ”
"Your Majesty, you can't cut down the old minister, Your Majesty asked yourself, the old minister has lived for so many years, a total of more than six million taels, is it more?"
Wang Chuxi's words silenced Zhao Shuo.
To be honest, Wang Chuxi's belongings are not much at all.
And the key is only money, and he doesn't occupy too much fertile land.
The grain is only 50,000 stones.
With such a number, it can be said that he was a relatively honest official in the Great Song Dynasty.
This......
This is really the death of the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Shuo thought for a while and said, "I also know that Uncle Guo is like a family with me, and I don't want to take you under the knife. But you have to know that a lot of people are impeaching you right now. ”
"Huh? Is it Gao Yu's deflated calf? ”
Wang Chuxi's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Well, it's Gao Yu." Zhao Shuo nodded.
"You also know that Gao Yu is a person who can gossip in addition to football."
"The main thing is that you have always been caught by Wu Desi, and when the time comes, Gao Yu will give you a casual publicity, so won't it be over?"
Wang Chuxi burst into tears in an instant.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what should the old minister do?"
"Can you save the minister? Let's figure it out. ”
"The old minister is really loyal to His Majesty, and wholeheartedly supports His Majesty to ascend the throne and become the emperor."
"Your Majesty......"
looked at Wang Chuxi with a handful of snot and tears.
Zhao Shuo also pretended to sigh with emotion: "Okay, then I will think of a way for you." ”
"Good, good. The old minister is waiting here. ”
Wang Chuxi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
Zhao Shuo also closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then said: "There is a way, you take out 40,000 stone of grain, you are also taking out the iron ore, and those hoarded salt, you can't use them, and the grain will leave you 10,000 stones." ”
When Zhao Shuo said this, Wang Chuxi nodded without thinking about it: "Okay, no problem, Your Majesty, the old minister will go back and hand it over." ”
"Wait, I'm not done yet."
"Huh?"
"Do you think you're going to be done with something? The key is money, and it is silver spent in vain. ”
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to donate some points, donate 100,000 taels. ”
Zhao Shuo frowned, looking at Uncle Guo with a complicated expression.
It's a real slam.
Your six million taels of silver have been exposed.
Now you want to settle it with 100,000 taels?
Do you really think I'm a beggar for food?
Thinking about it, Zhao Shuo said directly: "You have to pay six million, otherwise Gao Yu will stare at you like a mad dog." ”
"By that time, how do you want me to help you?"
"Your Majesty, that's the old minister's life savings."
"Are you reluctant?"
"If you can't bear it, then I won't be able to help you."
"Ah, wait, Your Majesty, if the old minister takes out the money, will it be okay?"
"If I take out the money, I will tell Gao Yu that Uncle Guo is the property kept for the Great Song Dynasty."
"This method is good, it's just ......" Wang Chuxi's cheeks suddenly distorted a lot.
