Liang Shicheng's voice became softer and softer, and gradually he could no longer hear it. The corners of Xu Zizhen's mouth raised, revealing a proud smile.
Wen Xian's plan was indeed good. Qin Hui impeached him and first made him angry with a lot of accusations. Then the envoys from the four countries went to the palace to put pressure on Zhao Huan. Then he asked Yelvfu to frame him and bring a knife to the palace. The combination of several factors made him angry again.
Can't turn over either.
These are nothing, the key is that Wen Xian calculated that Liang Thief's followers will definitely defend him with all their strength, and at this time, the trick of all the people to sue the officials will be used. Of course, the role of Wang Zhongfu in this trick cannot be underestimated.
, with his energy, it is not difficult to find the people who have suffered crimes, and besides, there are thousands of thugs under him to make up for it, right?
The powerful Liang Shicheng fell, and the news spread throughout Bianjing City in an instant. The people in the city rushed to tell each other, and the literati celebrated each other with bullets and crowns. Liang Shicheng himself may have just arrived in Tianlao and has not yet settled down, but it is already as lively as the New Year outside.
.
But now there is silence in the court, and all the officials are silent. Of course, it is only from Liang Shicheng's faction. As for the loyal ministers and generals such as Yongye Zongze, their eyes are happy and their beards are trembling. If the emperor is not still sitting upright, they would
I'm afraid I might have laughed out loud a long time ago.
Zhao Huan still couldn't laugh. The play was well done and Liang Shicheng was successfully captured. However, how to solve the four-nation alliance has become a top priority. After struggling for a moment, he finally got up and said to Xu Zizhen with a forced smile: "Xu Zizhen
Ambassador, the leader of the Liang rebels has been captured. In the afternoon, the three halls of Dali Temple, Privy Council and Kaifeng Mansion will interrogate. Ambassadors, can you calm down?"
This is what Xu Zizhen was waiting for. I don't care where the emperor is. If you give me a chance to make money, you have to die to make it. Of course, he won't say it directly. It's better to leave this kind of extortion to a few of them.
Songren is obviously the most suitable, and this national master is more skilled than ghosts. Xu Zizhen does not need to give him any hints at all. He has already said slowly: "The princess and I naturally have no doubts about the handling of His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, but I
Although the country of Tubo is poor and the people are weak, Her Royal Highness the Princess is also a wealthy country. This time she came to celebrate your Majesty's enthronement, but she was frightened and seriously injured in vain. It is natural for Your Majesty to remove the chief culprit."
These words were neither salty nor cold, but everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in the words. Your slave hurt my princess, and in the end you killed your slave and ended the marriage? How can it be so cheap?!
Mou Xianting persuaded with a smile: "Master Songren, don't be upset. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not expect such a thing to happen, and you should not blame others for this."
Yelvfu suddenly interjected lukewarmly: "It's hard to say. Old Man Songren is notoriously stingy and difficult to deal with. What if he goes back and raises the price of the horses sold to Song Dynasty every year or simply reduces the price... Hey,
He may not be able to do this."
Zhao Huan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Nowadays, there is no good place to raise horses in the territory of the Song Dynasty. Most of the war horses in the army are imported from Tubo. If this incident really makes Tubo fall out and raise the price of war horses, then
How much money did the Song Dynasty lose every year? And the key is not this. If they simply refused to sell it, would it be possible that the Song Dynasty would not have a cavalry system?
All the officials were also shocked, especially the military attachés headed by Zong Ze and others. They were looking forward to going north to recover the mountains and rivers every day. In the future, it would be useless to recover without war horses. How could they use all infantry to deal with wolves and tigers?
The Golden Man and the Iron Cavalry? Isn’t that asking for death?
Duan Chen seemed to be trying to persuade him and said: "Master, please don't be impatient. General Yelu, just say a few words less. Brother, why don't you hurry up and persuade the master?"
Xu Zizhen said with a bitter face: "Where can I persuade him? He is the Imperial Preceptor, and I am the Deputy Imperial Preceptor. What if Lord Songren offends him and puts on my shoes?"
Phew!
Duan Yan almost couldn't help laughing, and quickly covered his mouth to hold it back. Brother Xu was so bad. These words were discussed early in the morning, but he acted the best.
Xu Zizhen pretended to think for a while and said: "Master, please calm down first. I am still working in Yingtian College and I am from Song Dynasty. You and the little princess should give me some face. Otherwise,
I'll discuss with the official and let him compensate for the little princess's soup and medicine. Let's take a step back and the world will be brighter. We can still hold hands and be friends in the future, how good?"
Zhao Huan was overjoyed, that's what he meant, but it was too shameful for him as an emperor to offer to pay for the trouble. Now Xu Zizhen said it differently, but then he was troubled again, not for anything else, just for the recent glory.
There was no money left in the treasury to pay the gold man's compensation.
They said they were paying for some decoction and medicine, but did they really get more than ten or twenty taels of silver? I, the Great Song Dynasty, can't afford to be embarrassed like this, and they were just passing by to congratulate me, but the counterfeit person in front of me still took it after making a long fuss.
One hundred thousand silver and five thousand gold, now the genuine ones can’t be less, right?
But in front of so many people, Zhao Huan said that he had no money, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't say it, and he couldn't help but get entangled for a while.
After Xu Zizhen finished speaking, Song Ren thought for a while and simply agreed. Then several pairs of eyes looked at Zhao Huan, waiting for him to speak, and Zhao Huan almost gave up and ran away.
At this moment, a voice that was no less than a life-saving voice sounded. It was Yelu Fu, the envoy of the Western Liao Dynasty, the one who just mocked the Imperial Master Songren.
"I cannot agree with what Prince Xu (King Bingjian) said in the end. This disaster was caused by the old thief Liang Shicheng. How can we make the Emperor of the Song Dynasty pay for it? We should find the perpetrator no matter what, otherwise there will be no consequences if we tell him.
People’s words.”
Zhao Huan was so happy that he wanted to jump up and down. This General Yelu was so sensible and he expressed my feelings in one sentence!
But before he could speak, Yelvfu's next words satisfied him even more.
"However, the old thief of the Liang family has already entered the prison. It is not appropriate to bring him out again to ask for money. Besides, the little princess is not that interested in small profits. In the end, it is better to ask the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to take over his family.
The property was seized and the property records were not put into the treasury. The old thief has been running rampant for many years, so he must have some rare things. When the time comes, the little princess will follow him to ransack the house. If he takes whatever he likes, he will be compensated. Wouldn't everyone be happy in this way? "
What Zhao Huan was afraid of now was that someone would ask him for money again. Yelvfu's words really touched his heart. He glanced at Duoqi Zhuoma and Songren who seemed to be hesitant, and quickly said: "Okay, this is the proposal.
Very good! Prince Gao, Zong Aiqing, you two will immediately go to seize the Liang Mansion, and ask the young princess to select the property first, and then put it into the treasury!"
After finishing speaking, he half-leaned out his body with a smile and said to Duoqi Dolma: "I wonder if this decision of mine is acceptable?"
Duoqi Zhuoma held her chin with a jade-like finger and thought for a while, then finally nodded reluctantly and said: "Okay, thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."
This important matter was finally settled. Zhao Huan breathed a long sigh of relief. Xu Zizhen also retreated with the envoys from the four countries. The officials looked at each other as if they were in a dream.
