"I see! I see! Brother Yang is strategizing, I can't wait for the horse! ”

After the Fu family head finished speaking, the remaining two family heads also understood, and their eyes suddenly lit up with a bit of hope.

Emperor Renxuan wanted to move them, which was undoubtedly terrible news.

But fortunately, there is still some time to survive.

Even, as long as the Northern Expedition can be postponed, this period of time can be extended indefinitely.

At least... In their generation, nothing will happen.

In that case, why don't you care about his floods.

But some people were still worried, and said: "Your Majesty is eloquent after all, will you come up with a way to cure us?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Duan Qingyan, frowned slightly, and their faces were quite solemn.

To be honest, Emperor Renxuan has seemed to be indifferent for more than ten years, allowing the five great families to become bigger.

But in fact, the entire court, or the entire Qiandu, has been firmly in his hands from beginning to end.

If it weren't for following Taifu Yang Huai, I was afraid that I would borrow ten of them, and I wouldn't dare to go against this majesty.

Now these words can be regarded as expressing the deepest worries in their hearts.

In the face of Emperor Renxuan, no one dared to relax, let alone underestimate it, and it was right to cheer up 120,000 spirits.

Seeing this, Yang Huai shook his head and said with a light smile: "Our majesty is a person who is very good at layout and planning. ”

"Since we were arranged to die in the Great Expedition of the Northern Expedition, then before that, if we wait in vain, I am afraid that a series of layouts will also be disrupted, and for him, the gains outweigh the losses."

"In addition, this morning in the court, His Majesty also said that donating food for disaster relief is all voluntary."

"Even if we donate less, it is reasonable, even if it is Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find an excuse to do something to us."

"But no matter what, these days, I'm more low-key and introverted, and I'm always at a loss."

"Especially the old man and the old grandson, the flowers are full of buildings and the spring of the garden look beautiful, but after all, they are doing some skin and meat business, and they are the most prone to accidents."

"In the past few days, the two of you have been good students, and you have to restrain the next generation and your own business. If something goes wrong, your majesty will have the handle to deal with us. ”

"Don't say that the old man is not emotional."

When the head of the Sun family and the head of the Fu family heard this, their hearts suddenly sank, and they hurriedly said: "Brother Yang, don't worry, these days, we will definitely restrain the business between the descendants and Yongle Fang in the door, and it will not make it difficult for you." ”

When Yang Huai heard this, he nodded.

Seeing this, the head of the Sun family and the head of the Fu family breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt quite bitter in their hearts.

The two of them seem to be the five great families of Qiandu, and the scenery is infinite.

But the bitterness in it is only known to the two of them.

Over the years, with the rise of the Yang family and the Duan family, most of the profitable businesses and deeds have been divided between the two families.

The three families left of them could only pick up some soup and water to eat.

The Lin family is okay, with a long heritage, strong capital, and can still support it.

The two of them are just a family that has only risen in the past hundred years, and they really can't hold on.

I had no choice but to stretch out my hand to Yongle Fang and started a leather and meat business.

Although whether it is Huamanlou or Manyuanchun, they are trying their best to package themselves, and from time to time they will launch some Oiran elections and activities of the Literati Poetry Society, so that this plaque does not seem so heavy.

But at the end of the day, it's still the meat business.

Compared with a big family like the Yang family and the Duan family, which are deeply rooted in the court, they can't be on the stage after all.

But it can't be helped, the money has to be earned.

"In that case, this is the end of tonight's talk, and you must be cautious when you go back."

……

In the last few days, the air pressure in the court has been surprisingly low.

300,000 catties of grain have already been gathered and sent to Canglan County.

But whether it is the Zhenbei King or the Canglan County Guard, there are constantly excerpts handed over.

It boils down to one thing: not enough!

Thirty years ago, Emperor Renxuan and King Zhenbei joined forces to clear the universe and re-establish order.

The atmosphere in the officialdom of the great cadres is much better, but even in such a peaceful and prosperous era, it is difficult to eradicate some unhealthy tendencies.

For example: corruption!

300,000 catties of grain will be sent down, even if Emperor Renxuan sends Qin to follow and carefully supervise.

But what can really fall into the hands of the common people is afraid that it is less than 200,000 catties.

How long can 200,000 catties last?

One month?

Or half a month?

Or is it shorter?

In the face of a catastrophe and lack of food, the people gathered together, perhaps to breed rebellion.

After all, the last time there was a large-scale rebellion, it was thirty years ago.

This trend has not yet completely passed.

If the people of Canglan really rebelled, the king of Zhenbei would be on the side, and the suppression would naturally be extremely fast.

Do you want military pay? Do you want military rations?

The disaster relief has already cost a sum of money, if it is another one, how can it be the Northern Expedition?

Before the battle began, the money and food bottomed out.

This was something that Emperor Renxuan could not tolerate.

But no money is no money, no food is no food, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't make money and food through the ages.

So the only way is to squeeze oil from the five great families!

This oil has to be squeezed fresh, in other words, it can't be late, it has to be as soon as possible, otherwise no one can say for sure.

It's just that anyone who can mix in this court is also an old man, not to mention the head of the five major families.

They also seem to know that the emperor is going to attack them in the near future, so they are extremely low-key in both their actions and behaviors.

is headed by Taifu Yang Huai, huddling together for warmth.

For a while, Emperor Renxuan, who was as strong as Renxuan, had nothing to do with this group of people.

And just like that, under the lower and lower air pressure, the days passed.

……

It's day and night.

Temple of Manna.

It was late at night, and the Manna Temple, which was supposed to be extinguished, was brightly lit.

Young princes in python robes and court officials in scarlet robes came one after another.

There were doubts and contemplations in each other's eyes.

"All here?" Emperor Renxuan cleared his throat and said lightly.

There are four people who came, namely the crown prince Xiang Baichuan, the second prince Xiang Longyuan, and two of the three princes, Prime Minister Wei Qing and Taiwei Zhang Lang.

"Those who are here today are either my royal people or my close ministers, and they all tell me what they think about the flood."

When Prince Xiang Baichuan heard this, his heart suddenly sank.

The father has made it clear that those present are either members of the royal family or close ministers.

But the three dukes of the court and one lord only came.

It can be seen that during this time, the actions of the five great families did leave some bad impressions on the emperor.

Can... As the crown prince, the civil and official forces of the five major families headed by Yang Huai are his indispensable supporters.

Now they have sinned against their father, and I am afraid that I will suffer!
