Chapter 400: Asking for credit in public

When Zhang Xian returned to Chang'an, he immediately took the opportunity to ask for merit and pushed the first credit to Lord Lu.

He wrote on the fold that Nanyang's strategy to stabilize grain prices was developed by Lord Lu, and Ji Wuyin was responsible for assisting the government in operation.

That's what they agreed to say.

What kind of character is today, everyone now has points in their hearts.

This time, the Jiliao Alliance has earned so much grain, and if you look for someone to calculate it today, even if you don't know the exact amount, you can know the approximate number. Not to mention that there is a Zuo Anmin beside him who can't see them well, and he will definitely shake this matter out.

The Ji Liao Alliance was destined to show their wealth, so they decided to push all their earnings to Ji Wuyin. Anyway, in the eyes of the emperor, Ji Wuyin, the richest man, was originally a big piece of fat, and there was no difference between eight catties and ten catties.

Zhang Xian not only asked for merit, but also asked for credit for Lu Desheng when he was asked by name about the disaster relief in Nanyang in the first great court after his return.

“…… At that time, Weichen was really helpless in the face of Nanyang's grain price being raised to 260 wen a bucket. Later, thanks to the letter from Lord Lu and his advice to Weichen, Nanyang's grain prices were able to stabilize in such a short period of time. ”

At this time, Zhang Xian was not afraid to expose his friendship with Master Lu.

Lu Desheng is a mentor and an ally to Zhang Xian, and he must be pushed to the top.

Is this still a choice? At the beginning, he was at a loss because of the Nanyang problem, who cares if he lives or dies?

And he also did some foreshadowing beforehand. At the beginning, after sending a letter to Lord Lu, he also wrote letters to several other colleagues who had friends to ask about the disaster relief in Nanyang.

This can be regarded as a cover for the relationship between him and Lord Lu, as for whether the emperor believes it or not, he can't care if he believes it.

Anyway, their emperor is very suspicious, and he will be suspicious no matter what, so after he is ready, he doesn't care what he thinks.

The ministers didn't expect that after nearly a year, they would hear the name Lu Desheng again, and everyone's expressions were different for a while.

And look at what they heard, Lu Desheng actually had such great wisdom and such subtle means? How could they not believe?

Some ministers suddenly thought of Lu Songli, who single-handedly pulled down the Xie family before she was exiled with her husband's family, which is still fresh in their memories.

Just when the ministers were in a trance, Zhang Xian continued, "Now the grain price in Nanyang implements a household purchase restriction plan, and each bucket of grain is only 100 Wen. This grain price is the lowest in Dali. And Ji's firm promised that this grain price would continue to come down next summer. ”

Some of the ministers heard this amount for the first time, and they were taken aback, this is really an unprecedentedly low-priced grain, and it is not a low-cost grain. No wonder Nanyang can stabilize so quickly.

At this price, is it really not a loss?

If it's a loss, it's a loss, what are they trying to do?

Zhang Xian finally said, "Therefore, the emperor and Weichen think that in the disaster relief in Nanyang, Lord Lu should take the lead, and the rich businessman Ji Wuyin also has merit. Please ask the emperor to reward meritorious deeds. ”

Hearing this, the ministers felt that they understood, it turned out that the Ji family's business name was a reward from the emperor?

As soon as Zhang Xian's voice fell, a minister came out.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Ji family and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce are suspected of showing favor to the people, and they can't be rewarded according to what Lord Zhang said." It was Taiwei Xiao Qun who spoke, and he was also one of the four ministers who cared for their lives.

When Zhang Xian heard his complaint, he was not in a hurry at all.

At the beginning, he handed the emperor a secret fold, and there was another plan on the secret fold, because he might be infamous and needed to use the money and grain from the treasury. On top of that, if not implemented properly, there is a risk of losing money.

For various reasons, the emperor did not choose that plan. Now it has made Ji's firm and the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce out of the limelight and won the hearts of the people.

Xiao Qun's words can be regarded as stabbing the emperor's heart.

Sure enough, at this time, Song Mo's face was dark and dark, he grinded his back molars, and thought, can he not know this? Yes! It's really a pot that can't be opened!

Actually, this will be quite unpleasant in Song Mo's heart.

As soon as Xiao Qun began, the officials of one of his factions also moved.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is the chief official of this trip for disaster relief, and the first person to make the contribution should be Master Zhang, and the other Lord Zuo should be the second person."

"That's right, Master Zhang is too modest, and he also has a lot of credit."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The meaning of the ministers who spoke out was to give all the credit to Zhang Xian and Zuo Anmin.

For Lu Desheng, they all have psychological shadows.

Now that he has finally been kicked out of Chang'an, he climbed so fast, wouldn't he be back soon? No!

Yao Songwen, the Qing of Dali Temple, glanced at Xiao Qun and knew that he was preventing Lu Desheng from recovering the Qin family with great merit. As the lieutenant in charge of the soldiers, horses, and soldiers, the marshal of the northern border is now his confidant.

But this matter was related to Lu Desheng, and he noticed that the emperor was not very happy to hear Xiao Qun's words.

Yao Song heard the column and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers think that it is only right that those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have faults will be punished, and that fairness and justice should be taken into account." ”

"Lord Lu has stabilized Nanyang for the emperor, and he really shouldn't pick a bone in the egg afterwards, intending to erase the reward of the meritorious. If meritorious service is not rewarded, it will not only chill the hearts of the meritorious servicers, but also make the hearts of others cold. ”

Yao Song heard the words and said a fair word, after all, he was able to become this Dali temple secretary at the beginning, because he inherited Lu Desheng's love, and he would return the favor.

Zhang Xian has no opinion on this matter, what do the rest of them care?!

"Your Majesty, what Lord Yao said is very true. Whoever deserves this credit belongs to whomever it is. Zhang Xian looked around and sneered, "You don't have to disregard my wishes in the name of being good for me, my Zhang Xian's words are placed here, it doesn't belong to my Zhang Xian's credit, I don't want it!" ”

Having said that, of course Song Mo has to express his position.

Song Mo hesitated, if this Lu Desheng rises further, it will be the history of assassination. Where should I put him? Recently, there has been no vacancy in the history of thorns.

At this time, there was still a lot of noise in the court.

"Alright, shut up! Shen Aiqing, you ordered someone to go to Liaodong County as soon as possible to confirm this matter. ”

Shen Wan, one of the ministers of Gu Ming, came out to receive the order.

This matter was found out quickly, and the people sent returned to Chang'an soon, and at the same time, Lu Desheng also handed over an excerpt to Chang'an.

In Lu Desheng's excerpt, he knew that he had made meritorious service, and took the opportunity to propose the reward he wanted, hoping to exchange this credit for the opportunity to rehabilitate the Qin family.

The corners of Song Mo's mouth twitched slightly, but Lu Desheng was still as thick-skinned as ever.

Song Mo knew very well why the Qin family was exiled, and he was always hesitant about rehabilitating the Qin family.

He always knew that he and the Qin family were separated by two lives, which was why he suppressed the Qin family.

Song Mo once again ordered someone to go to Pingzhou and ask Shi Tao, the assassin of Pingzhou, about the Qin family's performance in the penal colony.
