I did evil in the feudal land, but I was called a virtuous king

Nodding his head, Li An stood up: "This game of chess is considered to be the king's loss, and the king and the husband have settled the accounts."

Tian Suanzi nodded with a smile on his face, he didn't need to lose money, anyway, even if he lost, he couldn't get a coin out of his pocket, so he had to rely on it.

You don't have to play tricks, and you can still retain a trace of decency.

"My lord, why don't I go with you." Tian Suanzi thought for a while and said.

Li An glanced at Tian Suanzi and nodded.

Afterwards, the three rushed to the county government office.

In the inner hall, seeing Li An coming, the Nanjiang County Guard bowed to Li An: "The student has seen the prince!"

When they went out of Beichen Academy, when they saw Li An, they all claimed to be students.

"What happened?" Li An got straight to the point.

"My lord, a large number of people flocked to the city of Nanjiang County early this morning..." The county guard quickly told what happened.

"Good job." Li An nodded in agreement.

"My lord, there are too many people here, should the students let them enter the city?"

The sheriff looked at Li An inquiringly.

Li An fell into deep thought. Too many people came all at once, and it would be impossible not to arrange them properly.

Li An was still thinking about how to arrange for the common people, but Tian Suanzi was already counting with his fingers.

Not long after, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Li An nervously: "My lord, no, quickly tell them where they came from and where they are going back!"

"What do you mean?" Li An frowned and looked at Tian Suanzi.

"My lord, if you accept these people, it means that you have entered the game. Once you enter the game, Heaven will punish you!" Tian Suanzi said in a panic.

Li An's brows were further furrowed: "Didn't you say that you can't tell my fortune? Why do you say that?"

"My lord, I really can't deduce it for you, but what I just deduced is the whole southern region!"

"How is the result?"

"Drought!"

"Just a severe drought?" Li An frowned.

When he first arrived in Qingshui County, it was a natural disaster of severe drought and flood, didn't he also take care of it?So it's just a severe drought, he doesn't care too much.

"My lord, this severe drought is not as severe as before."

"What's the difference?"

Tian Suanzi was left speechless by the question. He could only deduce that there would be a severe drought in the southern border, but he could not deduce the extent of the severe drought.

"My lord, you must be cautious, if you choose the wrong one, your foundation will be shaken." Tian Suanzi had to remind again solemnly.

"Foundation?" Li An muttered to himself, "Sir, do you know that the people are the foundation of a country? No matter what I choose, it will destroy my own foundation.

You know, sir, what is the purpose of my efforts to develop the economy, encourage farming and hoarding grain? "

Tian Suanzi stared into Li An's eyes blankly, and he found that he couldn't see through the prince's thoughts.

"It seems that the prince has made up his mind." Tian Suanzi sighed.

Ang Lee nodded.

"Send down the order to open the city gates, let the people enter the city, provide them with housing, and assign jobs. All these are left to... Forget it, this king will personally go to Nanjiang County."

……

Nanjiang County.

Seeing Li An coming out of the city gate, the common people immediately burst into tears, knelt on the ground one by one, and shouted respectfully: "The grass people kowtow to the prince."

"You are the people of my Dahua. As long as you abide by the laws and regulations, on the land of my Dahua, my Dahua's laws will protect you, and I, Li An, will give you a bite to eat."

"My lord, are you willing to accept us?" A commoner looked at Li An with red eyes.

Li An met the eyes of the common people, and said loudly: "You are the people of my Dahua, and my southern border is also the territory of Dahua, how can you accept it? This is also your homeland!"

On this day, a great savior appeared in the hearts of the people.

Not only the people who fled, but also the people in the southern border think so in their hearts.

Lord Chen, great kindness!

……

One month after Li An accepted the people, Tian Suanzi's derivation became a reality.

The entire southern region fell into a severe drought, and the weather was uncharacteristically scorching hot in the twelfth lunar month.

The southern region rarely snows in winter. In other places, the scorching sun can melt the snow, but in the southern region, the scorching sun will only make the land drier.

Don't know how long it will last.

Li An sat in the courtyard, looking up at the uncharacteristically weird weather in the sky.

He still has food in stock now, but if it continues like this...

No matter how much food is stored, there will be a moment when it runs out!

……

Beijing.

Sitting in the imperial study room, Li Xu laughed loudly: "Haha, Li An, this idiot, really accepted all the people?"

"I heard that there is a severe drought in the southern border, God help me, God help me, Li An, this is because God wants you to die too!

The time is almost here, it's time to win the hearts of the people! "

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." A eunuch slowly appeared and reminded in a low voice.

"Let's drive." Li Xu gave an order.

In the court hall, all the ministers lowered their heads, waiting for Li Xu to speak.

Li Xu swept Xu Guogong coldly, his smile was full of coldness.

This old thing has not sent a tael of silver to the treasury yet.

He thought Xu Guogong would be very greedy, but he didn't expect him to be so greedy.

"Where is the Minister of War?"

"The minister is here."

"I read your memorial and said that there is no salary in the army?"

"Return to Your Majesty, now my Dahua soldiers have expanded five times, the Ministry of War really has no money to pay the army, and now the generals and soldiers in the army are panicked." The Minister of the Ministry of War looked embarrassed.

"Shangshu of the Household Department, what about the military salary? Why didn't your household department call for so long?" Li Xu changed the subject and looked at the Shangshu of the Household Department coldly.

Hearing this, the Minister of the Household Department directly knelt down: "Your Majesty, it's not that our Household Department doesn't transfer money, but that our Household Department doesn't have any money."

"There is no money in the household department, so let me ask you, where did the money go? I am a big country with so much money, where do I collect so much tax every year?" Li Xu patted the dragon chair violently, and angrily scolded.

The ministers were stunned for a moment.

Where did the taxes go?Doesn't His Majesty know all about it?Xu Guogong has always been responsible for collecting taxes.

Wait a minute, what does His Majesty mean?

Chapter 468

Hubu Shangshu understood in an instant, he took a deep breath, and made up his mind to directly participate in the performance.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the tax should have been collected by our household department, but Xu Guogong has collected it on his behalf. All the various taxes collected this year have been privately swallowed by Xu Guogong, and none of the money has been sent to the treasury! "

"Luo Ming, you don't want to spout blood. It is His Majesty's special permission to collect taxes for you!" Xu Guogong immediately reprimanded, and stared at the Minister of the Household with threats in his eyes.

Hubu Shangshu was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and looked at Li Xu cautiously. He hoped that he would not misunderstand His Majesty's intentions.

Otherwise, I would have offended someone to death today.

Li Xu didn't look at the Minister of the Household Department, but looked at Xu Guogong with a sneer, "Xu Guogong, when did I authorize you to collect taxes on your behalf? ?”

"Your Majesty?" Xu Guogong panicked.

Hubu Shangshu breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately he was right.

Afterwards, the Minister of the Household Department continued to participate in Xu Guogong's various evil deeds, and the other ministers also followed suit and participated in the performance together.

For a while, all the spearheads were pointed at Xu Guogong, and Xu Guogong had the illusion that he was that kind of super villain who deserved to die.

How could he have said so much with one mouth, he had no choice but to look at Li Xu for help: "Your Majesty..."

Li Xu's face was full of disappointment, and he covered his face with one hand and showed a painful expression: "Mr. Xu, you are my grandfather, and I trust you so much, why do you do this?

Enriching private pockets and harming the common people.You actually did so many wrong and scandalous things without telling me, are you worthy of my trust in you? "

"Your Majesty..." Xu Guogong wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li Xu again.

"Enough, Xu Guogong, you have committed a heinous crime. If you don't kill you, how can I face civil and military officials, and how can I face the people of the world?" Li Xu stared angrily.

Immediately, he had another look of grief: "For the present plan, the only thing I can do is to kill my relatives righteously!"

Hearing this, Xu Guogong was completely stunned. Li Xu wanted to kill himself?

He is going to kill himself!

"Your Majesty, you can't do this!" Xu Guogong knelt on the ground in a panic.

"Why can't I? Look at what you have done!" Li Xu growled.

"But this is what you promised me, Your Majesty." Xu Guogong said weakly.

"I promised you?" Li Xu sneered: "You are just talking, when did I promise you to keep all the taxes in your pocket? Xu Guogong, you are greedy!"

Xu Guogong was silent, he stared blankly at Li Xu's eyes.

He also finally realized that Li Xu actually wanted to get rid of himself all the time. The previous indulgences were not because he had to rely on himself, but because he was setting himself up.

That's right, at the very beginning, I had military power in my hands, and I also assisted Li Xu in seeking power and usurping the throne.

After Li Xu ascended the throne, he resorted to military tactics. It seemed that he was preparing for a war with Li An in the future. Why didn't he strengthen his own power and then attack him?

After thinking about this, Xu Guogong laughed wildly like a maniac: "Hahaha, I understand, I understand everything, Li Xu, you are so clever!"

As he said that, his eyes were bloodshot, and he glared at Li Xu with red eyes: "Li Xu, cross the river, demolish bridges, dismantle mills and kill donkeys, do you still remember that it was this official who helped you seek power and usurp the throne, if it wasn't for this official, you would still be imprisoned in the prince's house." In the mansion, linger on and live in panic!"

"Seeking power to usurp the throne?" Li Xu laughed, very presumptuously: "Am I seeking power to usurp the throne? I have the imperial edict of the late emperor, you all have seen it and recognized it.

Could this also be a conspiracy to usurp the throne?My lord, I have already told you that these are all chosen by you, since you have chosen, then don’t regret it!

Such an ugly appearance does not reflect your demeanor as a veteran of the four dynasties. "

"Li Xu, you have vicious thoughts. Have you already prepared the coffin for your grandfather? Just like you prepared the coffin for your mother?"

After finishing speaking, he turned to the court minister in despair, and said coldly: "You rats can also see clearly, what kind of beast with a human face and heart you have chosen."

Hearing this, all the ministers just looked at Xu Guogong with contempt on their faces. We chose him, didn't you also choose him?

They agree with what Li Xu said, since you have chosen, then don't regret it.

Out of style!

"Your Majesty, Xu Guogong has started talking nonsense, please order him to be executed, and give justice to the people!"

"You all think so?" Li Xu looked surprised and sad: "But he is my grandfather after all."

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the people in the world, and only you can give the people justice!"

"I implore Your Majesty to order Xu Guogong to be executed!"

The ministers said in unison.

"In that case..." Li Xu wiped the hypocritical tears from the corners of his eyes, and his eyes turned cold: "Come here, drag him down, and behead him at Meridian Gate!"

Soon, two guards rushed in and carried Xu Guogong out.

"Li Xu, you will die badly." Xu Guogong's roar and curse echoed.

He was really desperate and helpless, Ma De, he was not prepared at all, he got up early this morning, tidied up before coming to court.

Good guy, he was fine when he came, and he can't go back!
