Chapter 571: I like to use my small things to make a big difference
"You asked those ministers to go directly to Longyang Palace to find the Supreme Emperor?" Prime Minister Wen's voice became much louder.
Wu Yuan said "yes" and said angrily: "Why are you so excited?"
"Can I not be excited? Your Majesty is not afraid that the Supreme Emperor will take the opportunity to win over those ministers. You know, those ministers occupy half of the imperial court."
It turned out that this was what Prime Minister Wen was worried about, and Wu Yuan also knew it.
But he said nonchalantly: "It's okay, don't make a fuss."
At this time, Prime Minister Wen was a little confused about Wu Yuan's operation, so he could only continue to persuade him earnestly: "Your Majesty, please don't be trivial. It is rare for the court to be stable now. These ministers are still willing to support you, but you can't sacrifice for a small thing.
"
After Wu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I prefer to use small things to make big things happen."
"Use a small thing to win a big deal?" Prime Minister Wen was completely confused and couldn't figure out what Wu Yuanqian wanted to win.
But Wu Yuan had no intention of revealing it, and just said: "Just do as I say, I know what I know."
Prime Minister Wen smacked his lips, but in the end he could only agree honestly.
"Well, since His Majesty has a plan, I won't say any more."
Anyway, he had already said everything that needed to be said. Wu Yuan could not blame him for anything that happened.
Immediately, Prime Minister Wen stood up, called Tian Wenxing and Xiao Chenyu over, and then sat there, as if you could just treat me like nothing.
"This old guy is really thick-skinned." Wu Yuan complained in his heart.
But since Xiao Chenyu and Tian Wenxing didn't ask to talk to him alone, Wu Yuan didn't care about Prime Minister Wen.
Xiao Chenyu actually wanted to say this, but he was afraid of offending Prime Minister Wen, so he could only acquiesce.
He came here for only one purpose, which was to test Wu Yuan's bottom line on the investigation of selling an official position, so that he could act according to Wu Yuan's bottom line.
But Prime Minister Wen and Tian Wenxing were both here, and he didn't know what to say.
When Wu Yuan saw this, he didn't want to waste time and said to Xiao Chenyu: "If you want to investigate the case of selling an official, I can tell you clearly that 10 million taels of gold will count as an exchange between you two.
Also, capture a few of the worst ones and kill them to serve as a warning to others."
After hearing Wu Yuan's words, Prime Minister Wen, Xiao Chenyu and Tian Wenxing became uneasy.
He opened his mouth and asked for ten million taels of gold. This is really amazing.
At the same time, Prime Minister Wen regretted hearing this. Is this a story that can be heard without spending money?
Tian Wenxing frowned deeply. Although he has a stubborn personality, it does not mean he is stupid.
He also heard that Wu Yuan did not want to get to the bottom of it. The basic purpose was to get money from those merchants, gentry or aristocratic families.
Although he could understand Wu Yuan's decision, Tian Wenxing knew that this was just letting those people do what they did, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Wu Yuanke didn't care what Tian Wenxing was thinking, he just looked at Xiao Chenyu and asked: "Can it be done?"
Xiao Chenyu's heart froze, but he immediately replied: "I will definitely live up to my high expectations."
After thinking about it carefully, he glanced sideways and assured Wu Yuan: "Fifteen million taels of gold, this is the military order I have issued to His Majesty."
Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, this Xiao Chenyu is indeed a good person.
Prime Minister Wen was also shocked when he heard this, "Don't go too far. It is a taboo for young people to be greedy for merit."
It's not that Prime Minister Wen wants to speak for those people, it's just that considering Dawu's current situation, it's not suitable to fall out with those aristocratic families.
If they were forced into a hurry and fled with their family to Tianli Kingdom, it would be a huge blow and loss to Dawu.
Xiao Chenyu does have a little bit of selfishness. The Xiao family also has many sworn enemies. Now that we have the opportunity, it is not too much to resolve some personal grudges. Anyway, if we really want to be strict, we just copied those people's works.
The home also complies with Dawu law.
The extra five million taels of gold must be paid by the sworn enemies.
Therefore, Xiao Chenyu has this confidence that even if he offends one or two aristocratic families to death, it will not affect the overall situation.
He responded to Prime Minister Wen: "Prime Minister Wen, please rest assured, I know this well."
Prime Minister Wen had no choice but to see Wu Yuan smiling from ear to ear, so he couldn't say anything anymore, so he had to remind him: "Keep your balance."
Then, he said to Tian Wenxing: "Wenxing, on this trip, you must learn from Xiao Chenyu. You are the right envoy of the imperial envoy. You cannot act recklessly alone."
Prime Minister Wen was afraid that if Tian Wenxing would be too stubborn and confront Xiao Chenyu, he would most likely be tricked by Xiao Chenyu.
Even with the amulet given by Wu Yuan now, Prime Minister Wen is still not at ease.
Tian Wenxing hesitated to speak after hearing this, and finally couldn't help but said to Wu Yuan: "Your Majesty, Wenxing doesn't understand."
Before Tian Wenxing could ask, Wu Yuan just waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just go back and ask your teacher."
Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Wen immediately pulled over Tian Wenxing and said, "Your Majesty is right. You go back to your house tonight and the teacher will have a good talk with you."
Seeing Tian Wenxing's unwilling expression and wanting to ask more questions, Prime Minister Wen couldn't sit still anymore, "Let's go home now."
"Your Majesty, we both have to leave now."
Without waiting for Wu Yuan to agree, Prime Minister Wen hurriedly pulled Tian Wenxing away, fearing that Tian Wenxing would be late and ask questions that would make Wu Yuan unhappy.
Today, Wu Yuan told them his bottom line in front of them. Wasn't he actually telling Tian Wenxing?
Xiao Chenyu raised his head and took a look, feeling quite proud in his heart. So what if Tian Wenxing was favored? In the end, he was still outclassed? With this personality, he was overpowering him every minute.
There was no one else around, Xiao Chenyu still wanted to continue to explore Wu Yuan's background, so he asked: "Your Majesty, I have one more question."
"Say it." Wu Yuan said calmly.
"This issue of selling and buying officials can be said to be a chronic disease. I'm afraid this phenomenon exists in any state capital. I don't know which state capital I should start investigating. I would like your Majesty to give you some advice."
In fact, it was Murong Haitang who said this, and Murong Haitang has always been in the capital, so it should be investigated from the capital first.
But Xiao Chenyu didn't want to do this. There were countless high-ranking officials in the capital, and the involvement was so great that even he had some scruples.
So the best choice is to skip the capital first and wait for the big officials in the capital to check their butts before he comes back. This is the best choice.
Wu Yuan thought about it carefully, and then said to Xiao Chenyu: "Let's start from Jiangnan. That is your hometown, and I think you are familiar with it."
When Xiao Chenyu heard this, he was secretly happy, this new emperor is simply too good.
But he didn't know that Wu Yuan had already planned in his heart.
