Chapter 109 Zhaowu Xunzi on Heroes
There was a roar in the imperial study room.
The ridiculous melody ended. Emperor Zhaowu finally used his three sons of seven million taels to protect his three sons. You know, the cost of the Daqin palace for three years was only six million taels.
Looking at Wen Yanbo who left with satisfaction, and the old bastard Li who looked gloating. Emperor Zhaowu was very frustrated and painful. He was robbed of a lot of pain, which made him want to scold people, and even beat people to vent. So Qin Lei was kept.
Emperor Zhaowu stood up from the desk, glared at Qin Lei who was standing under the imperial stairs honestly, and said angrily: "You bastard, do you know that your deal will cause me to pay an extra two million taels of silver! Two million! It's enough for the entire inner court to spend two years!"
Qin Lei looked at Emperor Zhaowu who was staring at him with a beard and glaring at him, and felt more at ease. He secretly scolded himself for being accustomed to him, and then looked at Emperor Zhaowu pitifully, looking scared.
Emperor Zhaowu cursed for a while, and felt sorry for his own money bag. He hissed: "We in the Great Qin Dynasty do not need to be prosperous in the East Qi and South Chu. We immediately used 40% of the internal servants accumulated by generations of ancestors. I knew that Wen Yanbo, the old thief, had been staring at my internal servants in the morning!"
Qin Lei still had no idea about numbers, but he couldn't let the emperor sing a one-man show there. He said softly: "Father, let's kill Old Written back next time."
Emperor Zhaowu snorted disdainfully: "It's not enough to beat this old thief to make oil on his bones! Do you know why Wen Yanbo is so ugly today?"
Qin Lei smiled and said, "It's probably because he's crazy about poverty."
Emperor Zhaowu sneered: "Yes, if it weren't for these seven million taels, the Ministry of Revenue would not be able to hold on to the Xia Tax to enter the treasury."
Qin Lei said in horror: "No way?"
Emperor Zhaowu's spirit gradually became smoother. After returning to the imperial case, he sat down and sighed: "It is said that the world is three points, and the Qin Dynasty is three points."
Qin Lei listened to the emperor's words of such taboos in horror. He said in his heart: "If you don't know how to go out, just click me." Then he thought that the emperor himself had no problem in his own taboos. Then he relaxed and continued to listen.
"Li Hun, an old man who has been backed by a family of five hundred years, also holds 70% of the troops in the world. He is deeply rooted and lush with branches and leaves. It is not as you can imagine." Qin Lei could clearly feel Emperor Zhaowu's fear of the Taiwei Mansion.
After speaking of the Li family, Emperor Zhaowu said again: "I have the reputation of supreme, and I am the orthodox people in the world. All the people, nobles and honors are in charge of me. I also control 30% of the military power, 30% of the officials, and 30% of the financial power of the world. Even the Grand Marshal Li dare not touch me at all." He felt a little arrogant in his words.
Qin Lei silently listened to the emperor's own comments and knew that the prime minister was below.
Sure enough, Emperor Zhaowu said slowly: "Although his literary family has been around for a hundred years, he has been passed down from poetry and books. He is a genuine civil servant and has never had the opportunity to interfere in martial arts affairs. Do you know what the harm is?" After saying that, he looked at Qin Lei with consideration.
Qin Lei whispered: "This is a bit congenital deficiency. Comparing strength at critical moments will lead to a great loss."
Emperor Zhaowu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, it's great that you can recognize this at a young age. Whoever controls military power will largely determine who controls the country." When he said this, Emperor Zhaowu's eyes shone with a glimmer of light.
Qin Lei couldn't figure out the meaning behind Emperor Zhaowu's words for a moment, so he had to follow Emperor Zhaowu and said, "How is the Wen family called the Taiwei?" Qin Lei did not say anything like "three points". It was taboo to Zhaowu himself, but he could say it, but once others said it, he would definitely be in a mess.
Emperor Zhaowu pulled the corner of his mouth, obviously satisfied with Qin Lei's words, and smiled and said, "The Wen family was only considered a family of officials thirty years ago, and was far from comparable to the Li family. It was not until the amazing Wen Yanbo came out." When he mentioned this name, Emperor Zhaowu unconsciously sat upright.
Qin Lei then realized that the emperor's fear of the Taiwei Mansion came from the terrible strength of the Li family, and his fear of the Prime Minister's Mansion came from the man named Wen Yanbo.
"Wen Yanbo took twenty years to compile a net and set up an umbrella, and since then he has the strength to compete with me and the Li family."
"What kind of net is that? What kind of umbrella?" Qin Lei said intriguingly.
Emperor Zhaowu said in admiration: "He weaves the officials in the world into a network of relationships with intertwined meridians, and uses the power of these countless officials to raise a protective umbrella. He protects himself and all the officials in the world."
Qin Lei listened and pondered: "It is said that running water does not rot, and the door hinge does not rot. These officials will inevitably deteriorate after a long period of stability."
Emperor Zhaowu praised, "Xiao Wu, you are indeed the best-minded among all the brothers."
Qin Lei was secretly alert in his heart. Emperor Zhaowu praised him several times today, and there must be no good things.
Emperor Zhaowu ignored Qin Lei's little thoughts and was still immersed in the pleasure of judging the power and ministers of the current dynasty. He said sarcastically: "What are the relationship networks and protective umbrellas used for? This is used to protect each other, form cliches and make private interests, abuse the law, and commit favoritism and fraud. If all officials in the world are honest and self-righteous, what should they do if they break the net and rote umbrellas?"
Qin Lei deeply agreed that this Emperor Zhaowu was indeed not confused.
Emperor Zhaowu continued, "Later, if you are not greedy, you will be out of place and be rejected from this net. After a while, all the officials of my Qin Dynasty were greedy and inadvertent." The last eight words were said by Emperor Zhaowu gritted his teeth.
"After years, these borers have eaten up all the property left by their ancestors and even intercepted some of the taxes. This Daqin, which is known as the world's most powerful country, was finally gnawed into a big hole by these borers, and they cannot be compensated. However, the country's military affairs, river work, disaster relief, pensions, etc. all cost money. If the cooking is cut off, the country will have a big mess. Even if Wen Yanbo's ability to demolish and replenish the world is unparalleled, it is difficult to cook without rice now."
Qin Lei's heart moved and suddenly thought: The battle against the aligned battle last summer and autumn must have contained the meaning of dragging down Prime Minister Wen. However, a resolute expression appeared on his face.
