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

Song Qingdao.

Chapter 77 It's Late

The old emperor looked at Song Qing, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "Didn't Song Xing say that it was the younger brother of the family who temporarily stored with him? Prime Minister Song doesn't know about this?"

"Yes, yes, what your majesty said is that the old minister is too confused. I heard my brother mention this before, and there are also children in the family who run the Yuyiguan business road.

But Your Majesty, my Song family has always been fair and law-abiding, and will never rely on relatives to open the door to the tribe, and will never accept bribes for personal gain. "

"Did I say that he accepted bribes for personal gain?"

The old emperor's eyes were cold, and Li An had already told him in his family letter that there are many gentry in Dahua now.

This is a major reason why Dahua has turned from prosperity to decline, and we have to pay attention to it!

In the letter, Li An just mentioned it casually. As for whether the old emperor would care, he didn't care.

"Your Majesty, the minister is lying. The Song family has been loyal to Dahua for generations, and I hope your majesty will learn from it."

The old emperor nodded, "I will send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter. Don't worry, Prime Minister Song, I will definitely give your Song family justice!"

Song Qing was speechless, isn't he participating in Li An?Why did they get involved with the Song family again?

But does he dare to prevent the emperor from thoroughly investigating the matter?I definitely dare not, once I stop it, doesn't it mean that I have a guilty conscience?

"Remove Song Xing first, and when the truth comes to light, if Song Xing is really not corrupt, I will deal with the old nine seriously, and give your Song family justice. How about Song Xiangyi?"

The old emperor looked at Song Qing coldly.

"Your Majesty is wise, if Song Xing is really corrupt and perverts the law, please punish him severely. My Song family doesn't need to suffer the scourge of forgetting their ancestors!"

Song Qing resolutely gave up on Song Xing. If Song Xing was really found out, he would "persuade" Song Xing to die by himself.

Song Xing's back could involve him and the third prince, and a fool should not let them all be dragged into trouble.

Now I can only abandon the car to protect my handsomeness.

"Song Quite really understands righteousness." The old emperor said meaningfully.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the third prince secretly winked at a confidant.

The latter knelt down and remonstrated: "Your Majesty, the king of Nanjiang has committed crimes in southern Xinjiang, and the rituals have collapsed. The people and officials in southern Xinjiang are miserable. Please order the king of Nanjiang to return to Beijing!"

"I also ask Your Majesty to order to summon the King of Southern Border to return to Beijing."

Many ministers knelt on the ground together.

When Li An left the capital, Li Xu was so happy.

But what Li An did in southern Xinjiang now woke Li Xu up. Li An ran out to secretly accumulate his strength.

We can no longer let him continue to develop, we must find a way to bring him back to the capital, and find ways to imprison him.

The old emperor looked at the officials kneeling on the ground expressionlessly.

At the beginning, I made side-stepping plans to bring Li An back to the capital?All of you can’t see like blind dogs, can you?You don't even want to mention it, do you?

Now you find that you can't play the old nine?Can't wait for me to call Lao Jiu back?

late!

I'm not as good as you want.

I just want to leave Lao Jiu in southern Xinjiang for the time being, to rectify you gentry and gentry, and also to warn the gentry and gentry in other places, be honest and keep a low profile!

"Are the people really miserable?"

The old emperor said coldly: "The population of Qingshui County and other counties has increased rapidly, and the income of the people has also increased by leaps and bounds. Why is it so miserable?"

"Although I stay in this imperial city every day, my eyes are neither blind nor deaf!"

"But Your Majesty, the population of the counties was taken by the prince who led people to the county town, and the economic development is also obtained by the prince who led people to plunder everywhere!"

A stunned young man spoke.

The old emperor's face darkened in an instant. I said my son is a bandit because I am his father. I can say whatever I want.

How dare you say that about my son?

"Lao Jiu's method is... a bit tougher, but their original intention is for the sake of the development of the people, and let the people immigrate to a better place for development. I think there is nothing wrong with it."

"As for what you said about Lao Jiu's robbery, I have also sent people to investigate. Lao Jiu never robs honest and law-abiding people, and the money he robs is all stolen money.

I also think there is nothing wrong with using the stolen money of the common people to develop economic construction! "

"You have lived too comfortably these years, and you all think that the world is stable and the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

You are all blinded, you can't see the people's suffering, and you can't see the dangers.Do you know that one is born in sorrow and dies in peace?

Didn't the actions of Lao Jiu warn you that everything is not as beautiful as you see. "

The ministers were dumbfounded for a moment and fell into deep thought.

Such a man was born in sorrow and died in peace, His Majesty's words are indescribable!

The old emperor's words also borrowed a sentence from Li An's family book. When he first heard this sentence, the old emperor also felt a lot of emotion.

His expression was not much better than that of the ministers.

Although he borrowed his son's words, the old emperor did not have the slightest psychological burden, his son's is not his own, besides, he plans to hand over the whole country to Li An in the future.

Is it not too much to borrow a word from him?

What the old emperor didn't know was that Li An's words were also stolen from others.

Li An only wants to be a happy king who is rich and happy, and the premise is that the country is stable and the economy is prosperous.

That's why I hope to wake up the old emperor.

"Why don't all the loves say a word?" After a long time without a response, the old emperor spoke loudly.

"Your Majesty, after listening to His Majesty's words, the old minister is like enlightened. We are indeed too comfortable. From now on, the old minister must be vigilant at all times, live in sorrow and die in peace!"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Immediately, a large number of courtiers flattered the old emperor, and the old emperor was very useful.

This feeling is just one word, cool!

Li Xu's face was gloomy, he wanted to bring Li An back to the capital no matter what.

Li An first seized the power of Yuyiguan, and now he has pulled Song Xing off his horse. He repeatedly ruined his own good deeds, and then let Li An stay outside. I don’t know what else he will do. moth.

Li Xu secretly touched the minister behind him, and the latter touched the person behind him, secretly passing the news on.

Not long after, Minister of the Ministry of War stood up.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something important to report."

"Say."

After being flattered by someone, the old emperor is in a pretty good mood now.

"Your Majesty, do you know that the lord changed the guards of Nanjiang County without the consent of the Ministry of War?"

Of course the old emperor knew, because Li An had already said it in his family letter.Li An and the old emperor narrated the reason, because the soldiers guarding the city in Nanjiang County were lazy and neglected to train, so he replaced them.

I also told the old emperor that the old emperor can send a trustworthy general at any time, and then change defense from him.

However, the old emperor still pretended not to know, and said in surprise, "There is such a thing?"

Minister of the Ministry of War nodded solemnly, "Besides, the prince is still recruiting soldiers. It is said that the prince has more than ten thousand private soldiers!"

"Since ancient times, Your Majesty, it has often happened that vassal kings support their own troops and cause harm to one side. Although the King of Southern Border is definitely not such a person, Your Majesty must be on guard."

Song Qing finally found a chance to interject.

"I also ask Your Majesty to recall the prince back to the capital, and give him a mansion, so that he can cultivate himself in the mansion."

"Your Majesty, please enlighten me." All the ministers shouted in unison.

Chapter 78 Transferring Qingshui County to County City for Large-Scale Construction

The old emperor was still expressionless, but his heart was full of joy.

Lao Jiu started recruiting troops, did he finally have the ambition to compete in the world?

As for these ministers persuading themselves to beware of Lao Jiu's conspiracy?

Don't they know that if Lao Jiu really wants to inherit the great rule, he will take him back to the capital and start training him with a letter from his family?

After all, among so many heirs, only Lao Jiu has the appearance of an emperor the most, and his knowledge and methods are also the most suitable for being the heir of the dynasty.

The old emperor did not speak, but glanced at the crowd, he wondered why there was no one in the court who spoke for Lao Jiu.

When Lao Jiu hadn't left Beijing, although he didn't form cliques, there were still many courtiers who spoke for him.

But really complied with that sentence, the tea is cold when people go away!

Partisanship has always been a headache for the old emperor, but he can't point it out. The faction of the courtiers is also beneficial for him to check and balance each other.

Just when the old emperor thought that no one would speak up for Li An, Long Xiao, the general who protects the country, stood up.

"Your Majesty, the old minister heard that the king of Nanjiang completely wiped out the banditry in the counties of southern Xinjiang in less than a month. Presumably the prince recruited troops only to put an end to the banditry.

Moreover, Nanjiang is bordered by Nanling Kingdom. If a war really breaks out one day, the prince has soldiers and horses in his hands, so he can defend the prince if he advances, and he can protect the prince well if he retreats. It is understandable! "

"General Long is right. Southern Border is bordered by Nanling Kingdom. I don't feel relieved that Lao Jiu doesn't have any soldiers in his hands. Besides, he only has [-] soldiers. What can he do?"

The old emperor spoke slowly.

If one day Li An really wants to rebel, maybe he, as an old man, will secretly send him some soldiers...

Of course, this is an impossible scene.

"As for the matter of letting Lao Jiu return to Beijing, we will talk about it later, with him guarding the southern border, I can feel at ease.

You important officials of the imperial court should not just stare at southern Xinjiang for a day, but pay more attention to other places. As important officials of the imperial court, you must worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's happiness later. "

"Follow His Majesty's instructions."

The important minister repeatedly replied, why did His Majesty say a word today that is a golden sentence, which made them, the civil servants who were called geniuses at the beginning, admired so much.

"Then, Your Majesty, did the prince privately change the defense of Nanjiang County?" the Minister of War asked weakly.

"Let him go, he can do whatever he likes."

The old emperor waved his hand nonchalantly.

Li Xu's cold gaze swept across Long Xiao. As a general protecting the country, Long Xiao had 50 soldiers in his hands, so he had to be pulled into his camp.

With his support, his plan to seize power will be sure.

It's just that Long Xiao has never been close to any prince, nor joined any party, so he was surprised to speak for Li An today.

It would be fine if he could win Long Xiao over, but if he couldn't win him over, he would have to be ruthless.

If Long Xiao can't use it for himself, he must not let him become Li An's helper!

After coming down to court, the old emperor laughed loudly in the study: "Hahaha, Lao Jiu is a good guy, this is my son Li Dingbang.

It's a good sentence to be born in sorrow and die in peace. It's a good sentence to be happy before the world's worries, and to be happy after the world's joy! "

……

In the third prince's residence, Li Xu frowned tightly, thinking about how to win Long Xiao over.

Long Xiao doesn't like money, and he doesn't like sex, and he is only loyal to the king, so it's hard to do it.

Just when Li Xu was puzzled, a Confucian-looking man beside him opened his folding fan and said with a smile, "Your Highness is worried about how to win over General Long?"

"To tell you the truth, sir, I am really troubled by this matter. I wonder if sir has a good plan?"

"General Long doesn't like women, and he doesn't like money. It's very difficult for His Highness to target him, but His Highness can target his relatives!"

"Oh? Please speak, sir."

"Your Highness is not yet married, and the eldest daughter of General Long's family is also waiting in her boudoir, so she can be called a talented woman.

Although Long Ningshuang from General Long's mansion is a woman, she is also a champion of the three armies, and she is even more beautiful. "

"Sir, do you want me to marry Long Ningshuang?"

The Confucian scholar nodded, "If His Highness really marries Long Ningshuang as his wife, General Long will naturally stand by His Highness."
