Chapter 286: Song Ge Lao Arrested (2)
"You're here."
Song Weinan smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you come so early, I haven't had time to read the Buddhist scriptures yet." β
Bu Yuchuan slowly walked in front of him, glanced at it, and said, "I remember, when you were young, you liked to read Buddhist scriptures very much, but you didn't dare to read them. Later, I was no longer afraid of the eyes of the world, but I didn't like to read anymore. β
"βWhat, I'm scared again?"
Song Weinan: "I'm afraid, why don't you be afraid, I'm afraid of going to see the king of Hades, I'm afraid of being embarrassed by the little ghost, I'm afraid of seeing the old people, and I'm even more afraid of the ghosts of a family behind me." β
He looked at Buyuchuan, "In the past, I always laughed at you for being alone, and you didn't understand that bliss in the world is family, but now I envy you." β
"Alone...... It's okay that you don't have to carry so many lives. β
He muttered: "If it doesn't rain river, can my whole family's life be saved?" β
Buyuchuan was silent, and then said, "I will try my best to fight with Your Majesty." β
He sighed, "So you didn't do it." β
"Weinan, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the life of your whole family."
Song Weinan didn't answer, he was silent for a long time, and said, "Do you believe in karma?" β
I thought that Bu Yuchuan would not believe it, but who knew that he actually nodded, "I believe it." β
Song Weinan was surprised for a moment, then smiled, "Although we are officials in the same dynasty, I have always looked down on you later. β
"I don't know much about you."
He muttered, "So you also believe in karma." β
Buyuchuan: "You believe in Buddhism, I believe in Taoism." β
Song Weinan muttered: "Taoism...... Do you only cultivate this life? β
It's different from him cultivating the afterlife.
He took a deep breath, stood up as well, walked to the window, looked greedily at the scenery outside the window, and said, "Now, it doesn't matter if I did it or not, the important thing is that Your Majesty abandoned me." β
He looked at Buyuchuan, "What do you think Your Majesty, you abandoned Sui Boying five years ago, and now you are abandoning me again...... What about the future? β
He smiled, his face was ugly, as if he had walked out of a ghost fire, and said slowly: "If you want to find out the truth for Suibo, you should ask Your Majesty directly, not me." β
Bu Yuchuan was not annoyed or moved, he just said quietly: "Your Majesty, I will naturally go." You are here, and I have to ask too. β
"-Song Weinan, did you do it?"
When Song Weinan heard this, he fell silent again, and when he spoke again, he still didn't answer this question directly, but said: "Sui Boying and I came out of Jiangnan together and studied under Yuzhou Academy. β
"I'm a few years older than him and have a better family background, but as soon as we met, I saw him as pleasing to my eyes and gave him special support."
"We are all very happy that he took refuge in His Majesty and became a close confidant of His Majesty. Because of him, if the crown prince ascends the throne, at least the blessings of the land south of the Yangtze River can be more than a few decades. β
"But in the ninth year of Jingtai, he suddenly changed, and he told me that if Jiangnan continues to form a party like this, the Yue Kingdom will die."
To this day, Song Weinan still remembers what he said when he came to him with Boying.
He said: "There are too many private fields and slaves in Jiangnan, there are too few people, and the pressure of taxation is heavy. And the treasury is already so much, once Jiangnan is reduced, it will have to be moved to the north. β
"The north is already poor, if the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River are reduced and the north increases, first, they will not be able to support the army, and second, the people in the north will be desperate."
"The people on both sides are cornered, and they are bound to rebel."
"The general trend of the world has always been divided and combined, and there are thousands of combinations, but there is only one kind: the government forces the people to rebel."
Sui Boying's face was sad, "And there are many scholars in the south, and there are more and more students in the south, so it will occupy the official positions of students in the north, and it is a trivial matter for the north to be dissatisfied, so I am afraid of it...... In the future, if the lord is weak and the minister is strong, His Majesty's order will also be dismissed, and it will become a thorn in His Majesty's heart......"
"Brother Weinan, by that time, I'm afraid I will have to ambush millions of corpses."
He said bitterly, "If both the DPRK and the Central Committee are parties in Jiangnan and Yuzhou, is the land south of the Yangtze River still in the world?" β
"Regardless of whether Your Majesty will clear the south in the future, the people will not have a good life."
Song Weinan felt that he was alarmist, "It has been like this for generations, our Yuzhou Academy is just a little more powerful, how can it be so suspicious?" β
Sui Bo Ying stood up and said loudly: "Brother Weinan, this is still Your Majesty's world, not our Yuzhou Academy's world." If one day His Majesty is left with no one available, someone else will be used. Or eunuchs, or people from the north. β
"And once he starts to arrange, he will kill the people in the south and make an example of the monkeys."
"You're so smart, why can't you think of this, just do it! You have encroached on the entire land of Yuzhou, Liangguang, and Wanzhou, leaving so little for the people. If you encroach on it, those who come after you will learn from your methods, and if you continue to encroach on it day by day, you will eventually rebel. β
He was even so excited that he shed tears: "Your Majesty, you are a wise lord, sooner or later he will find out about this, and sooner or later he will have to clean you up." Isn't it good to rein in the precipice, to give the people and yourselves a way to live? β
Song Weinan only felt ridiculous at that time.
He came back to his senses and looked at Buyuchuan, his dim eyes were particularly cloudy, "Listen, how ridiculous he is, no wonder His Majesty likes to use him." β
"It's been nine years since Jingtai, and he doesn't even know that almost all of my silver for a year has gone into His Majesty's private treasury, and there is only a little bit of what I have left...... Just a little bit. β
"If you go to hell, if there is really a cycle of cause and effect, who will go to the eighteenth floor?"
Bu Yuchuan didn't speak, and after Song Weinan finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, "Then did you tell Sui Boying?" β
Song Weinan sneered, "He believes in his wise king so much, and persuades me so hard, of course I have to tell him." I told him that our Majesty had seen the problem with great foresight, but he did nothing, he just took money from me and put it into his private treasury. β
He remembers himself sneering.
He said to Sui Boying: "Otherwise, why do you think Your Majesty's harem can be so extravagant, otherwise, how do you think His Highness got the money to build a summer resort for enjoying the shade - Boying, you are really naΓ―ve!" β
Song Weinan muttered and recalled: "I remember, it was a rainy night, there was thunder outside, and he was stunned for a long time, a long time. β
"Then he didn't say a word, didn't ask me for anything, and left directly."
"After that, he didn't talk to me about it again."
"After that, I no longer see him as a man in a boat."
He said, "It's a pity, he's very powerful, but he jumped ship." β
Buyukawa: "So-"
Song Weinan was silent, "So-I want him to die."
He suddenly laughed, "He's so stupid, I said, he's an extremely naΓ―ve person, old and old, and so naΓ―ve." β
"He thought that just ants could shake the trees, he thought that the sun hanging in the sky was very fair, and he thought that the long night could wait for dawn as long as he carried a lantern at night."
He called out his friends and secretly wooed those who were as naΓ―ve as he was...... It's a pity. β
"It's a pity, the more he is like this, the more His Majesty doesn't like it."
"In the twenty-first year of Jingtai, His Majesty wanted to rectify Jiangnan and pay taxes, but when he was old, he began to want to leave a name for the ages and become the emperor of sages, but he was too greedy......"
Buyukawa looked at him steadily, knowing that he was about to get to the point.
He asked, "And thenβ"
And then.
Song Weinan laughed out loud, "And then? β
"Then His Majesty came up with a brilliant idea."
He thought, in fact, Jiangnan Yintian is a bad thing, but Jiangnan Yintian is in his hands, so it is not a bad thing. He thinks that he is a Ming monarch, and his private treasury is for the people to use, and he just collects it in his own purse. β
He wants to do both, he wants to reform taxes, but he can't reform taxes completely.
"Therefore, he followed Bo Ying and completely separated the ship."
"Until this time, he had not killed Sui Boying's heart. He just asked Sui Boying to take Sui Lanshi to Jizhou to do errands. β
"You know what happened after that."
Buyuchuan felt bitter when he heard this, and he only felt as if he had been sunk to the bottom of the lake, his snort had been suffocated, and he was able to make a sound only by biting the tip of his tongue.
"That'...... What happened to Jingtai's eleventh year of Jiangnan disaster relief silver. β
"How did you do this...... Did Your Majesty get involved......"
This last sentence used all his strength.
