Chapter 640 Repaying Debt?
"Since it's not your idea, then it's most likely the idea of that brat of mine."
"That's right, some of it is Leihan, but not all of it."
"Tsk, tsk, Leihan is much more courageous than a father like me." Xue Chengyi smiled bitterly and shook his head. For someone in the officialdom, even if he knew about the will, it would be difficult to tell him. Conferring a king with a different surname is very difficult.
It's such a big deal, who of low status dares to say this.
"The tiger father has no son, Lei Han just followed his uncle's temper." Chen Yue chuckled and began to flatter him.
"Okay, okay, I can't afford to be the prince's flattery." Xue Chengyi's face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "I can tell you the truth, the Queen Mother and the Shangguan family have a strong desire to reduce the vassalage.
Even though you will be banned after doing this, I'm afraid you will become a thorn in the side of the Shangguan family!"
Although Xue Chengyi does not participate in party disputes and has a very upright temperament, it does not mean that he cannot see the situation clearly. On the contrary, he can see it much more clearly than ordinary people.
The authorities are crazy!
Chen Yue spread his hands indifferently: "No way, there are hundreds of thousands of border troops in Beiliang here. Regardless of whether you can be crowned king or not, sooner or later they will target you, and the outcome will be the same."
Xue Chengyi stared at Chen Yue's eyes for a moment, and indeed did not see the slightest panic in Chen Yue's eyes. He clicked his tongue and said, "You, you really have a mind that is not in line with your age. In the past hundred years,
Our dynasty has never granted a king with a different surname, and since the founding of the country, there has been no precedent of granting a king with a different surname in his twenties. You have set a precedent."
"I learned a lesson on the battlefield. When soldiers come, they will cover the water with the earth." Chen Yue said slowly: "It's fine if they don't cause trouble for me. If they want to play some tricks on me, then they have to be careful with me, Beiliang."
It’s a trick.”
Xue Chengyi sneered: "They have already begun to resort to tricks. I believe you know that they introduced an old man, Tong Chengxiang, to take the officials to Liaodong, hoping to take Liaodong into their hands. This person can be regarded as a master.
It hit you where it hurts."
Chen Yue smiled and said: "I know, in exchange, give me a title of king, and I won't even think about Liaodong."
Xue Chengyi looked at Chen Yue in a daze, frowning and said, "Aren't you angry?"
"Why are you angry? There seems to be no use in being angry, haha." Chen Yue asked back.
Chen Yue's appearance made Xue Chengyi's eyes flash, and he lowered his voice and asked: "Do you have a way to get the imperial court to hand over Liaodong to you? Tell your uncle, the imperial edict has been issued, and the officials have set off.
, I really can’t imagine what other means you, Beiliang, have to take over Liaodong. But judging from Xue Leihan’s letter, you do have a backup plan.”
"Haha, uncle, this is the top secret of Beiliang Dao. If I tell you, won't I put a burden on my uncle? And to be honest, I don't know very well. Someone else is planning it." Chen Yue chuckled softly.
Xue Chengyi raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Chenyue had something unspeakable, so he didn't ask any more questions and just said seriously: "I don't care what method you use, but I sincerely hope that Liaodong can be governed by Beiliang and you.
.
Master Tong is a good man and has talents, but the other officials selected by the Ministry of Personnel are really hard to look at. They are all descendants of aristocratic families. If not, they are good at eating, drinking and having fun. Such a person has arrived.
Liaodong, I really don’t know what kind of disaster we are going to cause to Liaodong.”
Like Tong Chengxiang, Xue Chengyi was furious when he saw the list of officials going to Liao, but he had no solution at all. This was a shortcoming of the imperial court that had been accumulated for decades and could not be shaken at all.
"Uncle Xue, don't worry." Chen Yue narrowed his eyes and said: "Our Beiliang soldiers worked hard and died so many people to capture Liaodong, how could it be handed over to a bunch of losers? If they are sincere
If you really want to govern Liaodong well, then I, Beiliang, will accept it, but if you send such a group of people, I will not agree, and neither will the people of Liaodong."
"good!"
Xue Chengyi smacked the table hard, laughed and said, "With your words, I feel relieved. Then I, Xue, will wait and see."
Chenyue suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Xue Chengyi, and gave a big salute.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Xue Chengyi was stunned and quickly helped Chen Yue up.
Chenyue said solemnly: "I, Chenyue, are here to thank the Xue family for their donation of food on behalf of the Beiliang frontier army and the people of Liaodong. It is really a timely help for us."
When a hundred thousand troops besieged Tanzhou City, the Beiliang army was in urgent need of grain and grass, and it was about to be unable to hold on. It was the Xue family who spent most of their wealth to purchase hundreds of thousands of grain, grain and grass and sent them to the front line to solve the urgent need of Beiliang.
Chen Yue, a great benefactor, cannot be forgotten.
If they had run out of food, I can't imagine what kind of situation Beiliang, which was fighting on two fronts, would have fallen into.
"Hey, that's a big courtesy. Get up!"
Xue Chengyi pulled up Chenyue with a solemn face: "My Xue family is lucky to be able to do something for the people in the border areas. I am here for the people in the northern and northern parts of Liaoning, not for you, Chenyue.
face."
"Hahaha, Uncle Xue, how much food and grass can Chen Yue exchange for his face?" Chen Yue asked with a playful smile.
Xue Chengyi looked at Chen Yue pretendingly, stretched out a finger and said: "One stone, no more."
"Hahaha!"
They both laughed out loud at the same time.
Chenyue suddenly came close to Xue Chengyi and said in a thin gossamer voice: "Beiliang captured a large amount of gold, silver and grain from the hands of the Jin soldiers in Liaodong. Some of it will be reserved for the people to rebuild their homes, and some of it will be sent to others."
Sneak it to Qingzhou."
Xue Chengyi frowned: "What are you doing, you kid? Is this to pay off a debt? There is no reason to take back the things my Xue family gave away."
It's obvious that Xue Chengyi doesn't want the gold and silver from Chenyue, and he doesn't care about the money either.
"Uncle, I know that the Xue family has strong financial resources, but to allocate so much money and food to reinforce Beiliang, the Xue family must have put a lot of effort into it, right?" Chen Yue analyzed in a soft voice: "Don't talk about whether others will take advantage of Xue.
If a weak family is stepped on, even within the Xue family there will definitely be dissatisfaction."
Xue Chengyi was silent. Although he didn't care about money, Xue Chengyi was not the only one in the Xue family. There were also so many relatives and relatives in the Xue family. Since the reinforcements were sent to Liaodong, there were indeed some objections in the family, but due to Xue Shen's deep thoughts,
It was so powerful that no one dared to say anything.
Chenyue said softly: "Uncle, listen to my nephew's advice and just accept these things. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. My uncle should understand this."
Xue Chengyi frowned and thought for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Okay, it's up to you."
"Hehe, uncle, this is right. Only the monolithic Xue family is more powerful!" Chen Yue smiled slightly.
"You're the only one with the most evil ideas!" Xue Chengyi glared at Chen Yue.
"Haha, uncle, I won't accept the prize! I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare accept it!" Chen Yue looked up to the sky and laughed, very proud.
The two chatted for a long time in Xue Chengyi's study, especially the exciting battles. Xue Chengyi couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding, and Chen Yue waited until lunch was finished before leaving alone.
