Chapter 113: The Law of the Ancestors
The eyes of the other vassal kings were cold, and even Xiao Jingling did not change in the slightest.
The death of a prince is less important than the death of a dog in the mansion.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my father has promised you, if you can keep your current official position, you can persuade the rest of the officials in the court to act as eyes and ears."
"There are also three million gold and silver that can be used as funds to help you achieve hegemony."
Xiao Jingling said with a smile sitting opposite King Langya.
King Langya's cheeks trembled slightly, and he glanced at Xiao Jingling with slanted eyes and smiled: "In this way, I would like to thank Xiao Xiang for his great help." I don't know what Xiao Xiang wants? ”
Xiao Jingling sat on the table where only the prince could sit, which annoyed many vassal kings.
But Xiao Jingling is different from Xu Wu, Xiao Jingling and even the Xiao Mansion behind it are almost related to the gate valves of the Shi clan in the world.
If they are guilty of Xiao Jingling, they will have to face, but it will be difficult to recruit half of the scholars and literati to enter the court as officials.
"It's very simple, my father wants to become the only prime minister of the new dynasty!"
Xiao Jingling chuckled and said slowly.
The vassal kings present all turned cold, and the atmosphere became solidified.
The only prime minister, that means that the civil and military authority of the Manchu Dynasty will be completely controlled by the Xiao Mansion!
What is the difference between that situation and the emperor? The same is just a puppet.
"Xiao Xiang's requirements are a bit too harsh, right?"
King Langya forced a smile and asked lightly.
"It's not harsh, my father's students, and colleagues are all over the country, and if King Langya wants to select capable people from among the literati, nine times out of ten they are inextricably linked to my father."
"If the father of the family is the prime minister, he can naturally share one or two worries for you, and besides, this time the king of Langya rebelled, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch without Xiaofu."
Xiao Jingling's words did not restrain at all, and even intentionally or secretly provoked King Langya.
"It seems that this is the case, but the matter is very high, and this king has to think about it carefully."
The killing intent in King Langya's eyes flashed at a glance, but it was suppressed with extreme speed.
He can't move the Xiao family now, so he can only barely suppress his anger.
"Don't worry, my father has time, and the prince just thinks about it slowly. It's just that if the fighter waits for no one, if the opportunity is missed, the prince's plan will be in vain. ”
Xiao Jingling smiled coldly and got up and saluted.
"King Langya, this son is too arrogant! Do you want to teach him a lesson? ”
King Lu watched Xiao Jingling swagger away, and said fiercely on his back.
As vassal kings of various places, they are almost equivalent to the kings of the country of China who have divided their territories among the great cadres.
Once upon a time in the face of such cynicism?
It is that in the past, when the emperors of the capital saw them, they had to speak softly and treat them carefully.
Just a single son of the Xiao family dared to be so presumptuous to them, and Mo said that King Lu was the rest of the vassal kings were full of hatred for Xiao Jingling.
"This son is of great use to us, and let him be arrogant for some time."
King Langya is also full of hatred for Xiao Jingling, but he knows better how important the Xiao family is to this new regime that is about to be established.
In the end, you can only suppress all your anger back into your stomach.
"......"
The rest of the vassal kings were a little dissatisfied and wanted to say something.
"Okay, all stand down, this king has to think about it."
King Langya interrupted the words of everyone present and ordered the eviction.
No matter how angry the rest of the vassal kings were, they could only give up and nod their heads and leave.
After many vassal kings left, King Langya walked back to the dormitory slowly, full of what Xiao Jingling said.
Time flies by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it is already the second day.
In today's capital, people are panicking.
The Yecheng rebels retreated, and the news of approaching the capital spread throughout the capital.
"Lord Liu, how do you say this new emperor will deal with this matter? That's a companion! If you fall into the hands of the rebels, you can rebuild a dynasty in an instant! ”
"Alas, I don't know what Your Majesty's countermeasures are, and let's look at the morning today."
........
Some officials were talking in secret.
The capital has always been an alternative capital for a dynasty.
Where, the same layout as the capital, even officials at all levels are fully equipped.
Although the officials in the capital are half a grade lower than the officials of the same position in the capital, they are all the top ten jinshi in each session, and their abilities are not bad.
With these people, the rebels' grass platform team will soon be put into operation and become a brand-new state machine! It is impossible for them to panic as legitimate officials.
"Kaichao!"
With a sharp shout from the eunuch, the officials who were talking immediately shut up, lowered their heads and walked quickly to the Jinluan Palace.
"See Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”
The officials shouted in unison to Xu Jing, who walked onto the dragon chair.
"Get up, I guess you've all learned about the rebels' entry into the capital, right?"
Xu Jing looked as usual, and waved his hand to signal the officials to get up.
Xiao Daoling took the lead in walking out and saluted: "Naturally, I know that the minister thinks that he should immediately send troops to encircle and suppress the rebels, and he cannot let them grow." ”
"The ministers seconded it!"
The rest of the Xiao Dang also quickly stood up and spoke at this moment.
"Do the rest of Aiqing have different opinions?"
Xu Jing just glanced at Xiao Daoling and ignored it, and turned to ask the rest of the officials.
Seeing that Xiao Daoling was left out in the cold, the rest of the officials did not dare to come forward at this moment even if they had different opinions, and when Xu Jing's eyes swept over, they all lowered their heads and did not look at them.
"What? None of the hundreds of officials present said the rest of the good ideas? ”
Xu Jing sneered, leaned back on the dragon chair and asked.
Xiao Daoling sneered and strode forward: "The minister thinks that sending an army to crusade is the common idea of everyone present. ”
Xiao Daoling turned around and looked, and the official who had originally lowered his head even claimed to be.
"The New Year is approaching, the treasury is already empty, and Prime Minister Xiao wants to let me send an army to crusade against the rebels. Have you ever wondered where the grain and grass come from? Have you ever thought that the snow is vast and the war horse is difficult to walk? ”
Xu Jing sneered and looked at Xiao Daoling and asked rhetorically.
"The minister thinks that the rebels are all ordinary people, and it is not a matter of concern. Even if there is an army of King Qi, there is only an elite among them. ”
"As long as Your Majesty calls on the troops everywhere to respond, the rebels will be wiped out within ten days. Categorically there is no excessive loss. ”
Xiao Daoling's face was not red, his heart was not beating and he was lying.
He knew better than anyone that the so-called rebels were not stragglers at all, but an elite army gathered by several vassal kings, Qi kings and the Xiao family's hidden army for many years!
If such an army rashly sends troops forward, it will gain nothing but send the other side to victory, and maybe it will also lose Xu Jing's prestige.
And these are exactly what Xiao Daoling wants.
"I have another way, I will set up a special Tianquan money village as a national bank, and in the future, all the excess gold and silver from the national treasury will be injected into it."
"As for the rebels, since they want to accompany the capital, then they will go."
Xu Jing smiled coldly, ignored Xiao Daoling's opinion, and turned to talk about Tianquan Qianzhuang.
"Your Majesty! Daqian has always been light on business and heavy on agriculture, this is the law of the ancestors that must not be broken! ”
Xiao Daoling's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly shouted.
Tianquan Money Village is so big, Xiao Daoling has heard of it, once Xiao Daoling is allowed to reach a relationship with Tianquan Money Village.
The situation in all parts of the world will be handed over to Xu Jing in an instant.
At that time, it will be difficult for him to take the opportunity to collect money and accept bribes!
"Your Majesty! The law of the ancestors is immutable! How can a businessman be cunning and conspire with him? ”
