Under Xiao Daoling's looking back, the civil and military officials did not dare to look at Xiao Daoling.

Even if they knew that what Xu Jing was referring to must be Xiao Daoling?

Now there is no evidence that can directly point to Xiao Daoling's involvement, that is, everyone present knows that they don't want to do anything with Xiao Daoling.

Xiao Daoling's power is still terrifying even at this moment.

Even Xu Jing couldn't do anything to Xiao Daoling at will, and the civil and military officials didn't dare either.

"Okay, you don't have to guess with each other like this, what I'm referring to may not be among the hundred officials."

Xu Jing waved his hand, interrupting everyone's speculation.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you can find out the rebellious ministers and thieves, you can't do it at will."

Xiao Daoling was complacent, strode out and said to Xu Jing.

"Why?"

Xu Jing sneered in his heart, and looked at Xiao Daoling calmly without any waves on his face.

"It's very simple, the vast majority of those who are now participating in this war are homeless, if that group of rebels and thieves are fanning the flames behind their backs and inciting the world's homeless people to attack them. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to resist with only tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the capital. ”

Xiao Daoling said fearlessly.

This remark is not a threat, implying that Xu Jing cannot do anything to this group of homeless people at will.

If the casualties are too large, it is likely to trigger an even larger peasant uprising.

At that time, the warlords of the entire Great Cadre and all parts of the country will respond, and the already crumbling imperial power of the Great Cadre will be shattered.

"According to the Prime Minister's view, what should I do?"

Xu Jing's eyes flickered, staring at Xiao Daoling and asking with a smile.

In the opinion of the old minister, His Majesty's initiative to seek peace is the best way to protect the cadres. Only by appeasing the people with benevolent government can the rebellion be quelled. ”

Xiao Daoling smiled slightly and spoke again.

What Xiao Daoling wants is for Xu Jing to bow his head and admit his mistakes in front of the world!

As long as Xu Jing stops his mistakes, no matter how Xu Jing makes up for his mistakes next, in the eyes of the people of the world, Xu Jing is a mediocre and incompetent emperor, a tyrannical king who is greedy for pleasure and causes the displacement of the people of the world.

At that time, Emperor Xu Jing's throne will no longer be secure, and any capable person in the royal family will have the right to overthrow the rule of such a tyrannical monarch.

"If I follow the prime minister's approach, wouldn't I think that the disasters in all places today are caused by me?"

Xu Jing sneered and looked at Xiao Daoling and asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, the great cadres are already in danger, and we must not hesitate any longer."

Xiao Daoling sneered, and once again accentuated his tone to force Xu Jing.

"What if I don't want to?"

Xu Jing looked at Xiao Daoling with cold eyes, and asked.

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to be a sinner in the same line? It's just an edict, how long can the world remember it? In less than five years, you will have to forget. ”

Xiao Daoling persuaded Xu Jing again.

"Well, there's no need to discuss this matter anymore. I will not admit my mistake. ”

Xu Jing waved his hand and said coldly.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xu and Lin Shangshu have now asked to see each other outside the palace."

Xiao Daoling wanted to say something more, but a little eunuch outside the door suddenly shouted.

"Xuan!"

Xu Jing's mood eased a little, and he said loudly with a wave of his big hand.

And Xiao Daoling's eyes were full of resentment, if he persecuted Xu Jing a few more times, he might be able to make this emperor obedient.

Xu Sen and Lin Hai both came back at this moment.

"Minister Xu Sen and Lin Hai see Your Majesty!"

The two people who walked into the Jinluan Hall looked extremely depressed, their clothes were tattered, their hair buns were unkempt, and even their beards grew crazy to half a foot long.

What is different from the appearance of the two is the eyes of the two, the eyes of the two people.

The two of them were in high spirits, and they didn't care about the filth of their appearance.

After the two walked into the Jinluan Palace, the hundred officials unconsciously distanced themselves from them, covering their noses and waving their sleeves to dispel the sour and rotten smell.

"Get up."

Xu Jing saw that the two of them were so determined that they would return this time, and believed that the return of the two would definitely bring back a lot of good news.

"Two adults, don't you know how to bathe and change clothes when you see the saint? This face is not afraid to crash into the Holy Cross. ”

Xiao Daoling sneered, looked at the depressed appearance of the two of them, and said in a weird manner.

"What we brought back was great news, so how could we abolish the public for personal reasons?"

Lin Hai sneered, glanced at Xiao Daoling, and said disdainfully.

"Let's talk about it, what good news the two Aiqing brought back to me."

Xu Jing was full of joy and waited for the two to give back the news to him.

"Lin Shangshu will say it first."

Xu Sen took a step back and distanced himself from Lin Hai, signaling Lin Hai to report first.

Lin Hai nodded slightly, with a smile on his face: "The minister went to the rebel camp this time and persuaded the southern rebels to surrender. ”

"Among them, 100,000 rebels are willing to join the army and go to the border, and the remaining 400,000 rebels will be disbanded on the spot and go home."

"The leading leaders will come to Beijing with the governor of Lingnan to apologize for their sins in the near future, and I hope that Your Majesty will deal with them leniently."

Lin Hai finished talking about the matter.

The hundred officials behind him all opened their mouths wide when they heard this, and their faces were full of disbelief.

You know, that's a rebellion that is enough to cut off a quarter of the land of Daqian! Just solved by Lin Hai?

With this credit alone, Lin Hai can be called the minister of the rebuilding of the great cadres, and he will definitely be rewarded.

In addition, Lin Hai is now a scholar and is only one step away from the highest position of prime minister, what Xu Jing will reward next will also affect whether Xiao Daoling's rights will be affected.

"Good, good! Naturally, I will be lenient. The people cannot be blamed entirely for such rebellions, but are the sins of the prefects and governors of various places. ”

Xu Jing nodded with satisfaction and said excitedly in his heart.

"According to His Majesty's order, the ministers have investigated the crimes of the prefects and governors of various places, and now all the guilty people in the southern area have been investigated and punished."

"The total amount of gold and silver paid is 14 million taels, and it will be handed over to Tianquan Qianzhuang and will be sent to the treasury in the near future."

At the same time, a total of 7 million stone of grain and rice were confiscated, and 4 million stone were scattered in the south to calm the people's hearts. The remaining 3 million stones will also be sent to the capital in the near future. ”

"The minister is arrogant and advocates the illegal scattering of rice and grain, and I ask Your Majesty to punish him."

Xu Sen stepped forward and also told everything he had done.

came, and knelt down to beg Xu Jing to punish him.

"There is nothing wrong with Aiqing in this matter, and the rice and grain should have been scattered all over the disaster to appease the people. Aiqing is not only wrong, but also has great achievements! ”

Xu Jing stood up and motioned for Gonggong Cao to step forward and help Xu Sen up.

"What the two Aiqing have done has given me a headache, and I am afraid that the deeds of the two of you will be unsealable."

Xu Jing pretended to be distressed and said lightly.

"Your Majesty, everything we do is a big job, and we have no intention of taking advantage of this to invite merit!"

The two knelt down at the same time and said loudly to Xu Jing.

"How? If I am guilty, I will be punished, and I will be rewarded for my merits. ”

Xu Jing scolded the two and said seriously.

The flesh on Xiao Daoling's face shook slightly, and his eyes were full of hatred when he looked at the two of them.

"Your Majesty, why don't you promote Lin Shangshu to the right prime minister? The post of prime minister has been vacant for decades. As for Lord Xu, he can fill the position of Shang Shuling. ”

Gonggong Cao reminded Xu Jing in his ear at this moment.
