Chapter 326 Reward
After operating in the three counties of Nanzhou for so many years, many of his practices are very unpopular. 【Reading Network】|Top|Point|Small|Say|The Internet is updated the fastest, especially the item of nepotism, which has been criticized. Wang Chengde bullied men and women in Nanzhou City, did a lot of evil, Wang Qin was insatiable, bent the law for personal gain, the sins of the father and son, most of them were counted on the battle leader.
Fortunately, the three counties of Nanzhou have a unique geographical location and developed economy, and the life of the common people is relatively better, so there are no major problems. However, their dissatisfaction with the king of Jingnan is increasing day by day, and they have no good impression of the authorities.
Song Li beat Wang Qin's father and son, and confronted King Jingnan-for-tat, in a way, it just catered to public opinion.
How much the people hope that there will be an official like Song Li in Nanzhou, who dares to stand up to the power and avenge the people, which is why they are reluctant to let Song Li go.
In the carriage, Song Li kept waving goodbye to the people through the window, he knew what people were thinking, but he couldn't do what they wanted. He is determined to be the top powerhouse in the Nebula Continent, and the world of the three southern counties is still a little small for him.
However, Song Li helped Chen Yaozu officially sit in the position of county guard, which can be regarded as a good deed for the people of Nanzhou. Chen Yaozu is not only a capable official, but also a good official who is honest and fair, and under his rule, the people of Nanzhou are blessed.
Song Li believed that King Jingnan was a smart man, and although Chen Yaozu was not his descendant, as long as he saw that Nanzhou had become more vibrant under Chen Yaozu's rule than before, he would naturally be happy to let go of power. After all, Nanzhou is his fiefdom, the economy is developed, the people live a good life, and he is the master who benefits the most, at least the treasury will be more substantial, right? Who would be afraid of having more money?
It was sent to the ten-mile long pavilion, and Song Li summoned the flying beast and sailed away from Nanzhou.
Originally, the original plan was to meet with his mother Yunlin and fly directly to Yunzhou after completing the task in Nanzhou. But the trip to Nanzhou was much smoother than Song Li expected. In fact, before coming to Nanzhou, Song Li understood that the biggest obstacle to this matter was Zhan Chunlei. War Dragon has always had a bottom line, that is, he doesn't want to completely break with the Holy Emperor, as long as there is this bottom line, King Jingnan will have a hole to exploit. And Zhan Chunlei's kid is different from his father, he doesn't care. Young people are strong-blooded and ambitious, and if they are reversed, they will be reversed, what is there to be afraid of?
But he didn't expect Song Li to overhear the secret of the fire tree and silver flower by chance, and with a little trick, he let Zhan Chunlei enter the house. Even if he doubted Song Li's words for seven points and only believed in three points, the possibility of these three points was enough for him to take risks. Now I'm afraid he wants to return to the imperial capital more than Zhan Long.
This errand was completed more than ten days earlier than originally planned, so Song Li simply returned to the imperial capital.
The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
After reading the short letter that the Holy Emperor had written to him, he raised his head and looked at Song Li who was sitting opposite, his gaze was very complicated. Among them, there is relief, excitement, relief, and a bit of vigilance and vigilance.
Since sitting on the throne of the Holy Emperor, Song Xingtian has been sitting on pins and needles, because his position is not stable, there is Prince Zhong eyeing him, and the south is still entrenched in the big tiger of Jingnan Wang Zhanlong. With the Rambis Kingdom watching, the desert peoples in the west and the steppe peoples in the north are not good. Of course, what worries him the most is Prince Zhong and King Jingnan, sometimes, external enemies are not terrible, these internal enemies are the most deadly.
But now, Prince Zhong's family of forces is crumbling, and they are about to collapse, and their henchmen are in great trouble. He gradually turned his energy to dealing with the big tiger King Jingnan. He sent Song Li to Nanzhou, but he didn't have any good intentions. With Song Li's temper and character, after arriving in Nanzhou, he will definitely not swallow his anger and keep his breath in a low voice, the war dragon father and son have been entrenched in Nanzhou for many years, and it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this drama of a fierce dragon crossing the river and fighting the head snake on the ground, the Holy Emperor is very happy to see it.
Whoever takes advantage of whom, it is a good thing for the Holy Emperor. Although Song Li was temporarily his hanger, he had already seen from the eyes of the Holy Emperor that this kid would be the most feared person by the royal family in the future. Therefore, the Holy Emperor had to arrange it in advance.
But...... I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it.
It only took Song Li a few days to come back from Nanzhou, and he also brought the "table" of King Zhanlong of Jingnan. Obviously, Zhan Long's willingness to come to the imperial capital to participate in the birthday banquet of the Holy Empress Dowager is a show of weakness and a compromise.
War Dragon's willingness to bow his head was naturally a great thing for the Holy Emperor, something he had been dreaming of for many years. But the joy brought by this incident was far less than the shock that Song Li brought him!
How did he do it? So many people couldn't complete the task, and it didn't take much effort to get to him. And there was no such sparkling collision as he expected. The Holy Emperor's original purpose was to put Song Li, a fierce dragon, in the tiger's den to make waves, and it was best if both sides were damaged. Then a contradiction is formed that is difficult to resolve. The quintessence of the art of the emperor is the checks and balances.
After Prince Zhong fell, the situation of the Ming Wangfu's dominance was already expected, and he had to create an evenly matched opponent for the Ming Wangfu.
But Song Li once again let his wishful thinking come to naught. Although Zhan Long's temporary compromise was also what he hoped for, his vigilance against Song Li was getting deeper and deeper.
Song Li's gaze and the Holy Emperor's gaze met in midair, and the two of them just looked at each other, neither of them speaking first.
It stands to reason that when the emperor is staring at you, the courtiers cannot look at the emperor. That was a great disrespect to the emperor.
But Song Li did just that.
His meaning is also obvious: Don't think I don't know your thoughts, who is more stupid than whom these days?
He and the Holy Emperor looked at each other, a silent protest and a warning.
In an instant, the Holy Emperor's mind was racing, what if at this time, he punished him for Song Li's great disrespect to him?
The advantage is to take the opportunity to nip this henchman in the bud, and there will be no headaches in the future.
But the downside is obvious.
First of all, it is necessary to endure doubts from the government and the opposition. Song Li has just made a great contribution to the empire, completed the task that his predecessors did not complete, and persuaded the big tiger of the war dragon to return to the imperial capital, and you will take the knife of others? The biggest weakness of the Holy Emperor himself is that he does not win the hearts of the people, if he does this, won't it make it worse?
The second is the alliance with the Ming Palace, but I am afraid that it will be terminated early.
Although the mansion is about to collapse now, Prince Zhong has not completely swallowed the last breath. The Holy Emperor also needed to use the power of the Ming Palace's Mansion to continue to maintain his superiority and suppression. It was never a wise choice to break with the Ming Wangfu at this time.
Third, we should also consider the subtle mentality of King Jingnan. Since Song Li was able to persuade King Jingnan, it proved that the two sides had reached a certain degree of tacit understanding. If Song Li is put in prison at this time, it is very likely that War Dragon will change his mind.
No matter how you calculate it, the benefits of treating Song Li's sins now outweigh the losses. Maybe it was precisely when this kid Song Li saw this that he dared to go toe-to-toe with him, the Holy Emperor, so unscrupulously, and faintly had a warning.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed that the Holy Emperor has gone a little too far with others, whether it is the Ming Wangfu or Song Li, they have made great contributions to the empire. But he's calculating people.
"Haha, nephew Song Lixian, you have made another great contribution to the empire. How can Uncle the Holy Emperor reward you?" It was only a very short time for the Holy Emperor to sort out the gains and losses, and immediately put on a smiling face and said, "You are young, you are already the king of the county, and you will always need to wait a few years before you can be crowned the king and grant the land." Let you be the prince now, I'm just afraid of recruiting people. ”
Song Lixin said that your old boy should not calculate me a few times, who is rare about your reward. Brother is determined to be the top powerhouse of the mainland, what kind of prince fiefdom, we are really not that rare.
"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, the matter of the king's land should naturally be suspended, the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, the minister still understands. If you don't want to go, just give me a discount. "Song Li has never been the kind of person who does good deeds without asking for anything in return, especially for a rich and handsome person like the Holy Emperor, being polite to him is equivalent to ****.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. This sentence made the Holy Emperor's heart move, and his heart said that this is not the case. The reason why he was so jealous of Song Li was because he was too good? Even he, the Holy Emperor, felt that he was gradually unable to control the scene, not to mention those sons who were ambitious and talented. In the future, no matter which of them sat on the throne, they would be played with by Song Li, as long as they thought of this, the Holy Emperor couldn't even sleep well.
Song Xingtian also noticed Song Li's title, and he didn't know when he no longer called himself "Uncle of the Holy Emperor", but called "His Majesty the Holy Emperor" like everyone else, which was an obvious signal of alienation. (http://)。 But in all fairness, Song Li can't be blamed for this kind of thing, he, the Holy Emperor, really doesn't have the appearance of an "uncle", how can an uncle be bent on calculating his nephew? And under the premise that this nephew has frequently made great achievements?
"Hahaha, ...... cash" Song Xingtian laughed and said, "Song Lixian's nephew, the place I admire you most is here." You're not like the old pedants in the court, even if they wanted something from me, they wouldn't be so blatant. You're the only one who dares to talk to me like that. ”
Song Li smiled: "They love face, and I have a thick skin." Besides, if I'm polite to you, doesn't that mean I look down on your financial resources?"
Song Xingtian smiled: "That's right. The whole empire is mine, who would dare to be richer than me?Okay, since you said so, then I will give you a discount. How about I reward you with a million gold coins and ten ladies from all the nations?"
Millions of gold coins, ten ladies from the vassal countries, this is definitely a big deal! Since the founding of the Holy Lion Empire, there has never been such a huge reward. It was probably that the Holy Emperor also felt that he had gone too far with Song Li, so he also had to appease him on the surface.
