Longevity: I am in the quiet garden, the sun and the moon

Empress Xiao understood immediately, and she was so happy that she rewarded Xing Bang with a kiss.

"It's still your thoughtfulness!"

"In this way, not only will it not hurt the Marquis of Xiliang's face, but it will also make him more alert."

Xing Bang laughed: "Otherwise, how could I be your man!"

In fact, after learning the purpose of Xiliang Hou's visit just now, Xing Bang quickly thought that the old fox had ulterior motives.

On the surface, this move was to give the Marquis of Xiliang face, but in fact it also undermined his little thoughts.

Xing Bang knew it right away and said it nicely. A down-and-out prince, regardless of whether he gave up or not, it was too late to avoid suspicion. At this time, he came to the pole to show his loyalty.

Either he was harboring evil intentions, or the Marquis of Xiliang was kicked in the head by a donkey.

In fact, normally speaking, there is nothing wrong with it and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, the Marquis of Xiliang didn't know the secret, and thought that Queen Xiao was still the same Queen Xiao as before.

Therefore, his little thoughts, which he feels are wise, can actually be understood by just opening his mouth.

However, unless the Marquis of Xiliang is dishonest, Xing Bang will not deliberately deal with him.

However, judging from today's actions, the Marquis of Xiliang does not have much ambition. It is nothing more than a long-term plan to ensure the prominent status of their Yu family.

To put it bluntly, in Xing Bang's eyes, this kind of person is the easiest to deal with.

When dinner was approaching, Xing Bang left Empress Xiao's place and then went to Mrs. Fanghua's place.

It is worth mentioning that after the tall beauty learned that Xing Bang had become the regent, she secretly looked at her and wished she could throw herself into his arms.

However, Xing Bang just pretended not to know, and could only think that it was time to let her hold her breath.

Today is different from the past. Xing Banggui is the regent and the prince is only eight years old. For those concubines, if they want to get ahead, are there any other good ways out?

Xing Bang didn't even use his hooks. If he just hinted, it would be like going to a market, and there would be a huge crowd.

……

The next day.

Under the service of Mrs. Fanghua, Xing Bang changed his clothes and got up.

He also had no one left, and he didn't even know how to get to the accommodation he had arranged.

After resting for a night, Liu Xian regained some strength and drove back to Beijing without any delay.

After returning to the capital, we can basically prepare for the funeral. No matter how high the two elders are, they can't solve the root cause of the problem, and they can only help Liu Xian to raise his voice.

He has been in a semi-conscious state.

Halfway through the journey, Xing Bang was riding a big horse leisurely and enjoying the scenery along the way. He didn't like riding in a sedan or carriage.

It’s more pleasant to ride a horse.

At this moment.

Cao Zhengchun came over, "Your Majesty, this is the memorial that the Ministry of War has just turned around."

"what's the situation?"

Xing didn't pick up the stick, thinking that Cao Zhengchun had already seen it and Liu Xian was no longer able to serve as director.

It must be a big deal to come here to report in such a hurry.

"A large number of refugees in Yuzhou gathered to rebel with overwhelming force. In just ten days, they had captured several prefectures and counties."

Cao Zhengchun did not hesitate to report it.

"Ok?"

Xing Bang frowned, "Why did we report the matter so seriously? Why did the good people rebel?"

"There must be a big hidden secret here!"

Cao Zhengchun nodded, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Although the situation is not clear yet, I can probably guess the reason."

"During the prince's expedition, many places along the Yellow River in Yuzhou were hit by disasters. The Ministry of Household Affairs reported that 300 million taels of silver were needed for disaster relief..."

"The prince may not know something. The treasury is already empty, and he has to ensure the military expenses for the prince's northern expedition. The old slave has no choice, so he confiscated a few houses to rehabilitate the former right prime minister and other officials. This way he could barely scrape together enough for disaster relief. silver."

Good guy!

I have to say that Cao Zhengchun still has skills.

Obviously, during the period when Xing Bangbei was stunned, Liu Xian was in poor health, and Cao Zhengchun was handling all major matters.

It can be regarded as a mature plan for the country.

Xing Bang curled his lips and said, "I understand now. The officials in Yuzhou must have colluded to embezzle the disaster relief money..."

"The people don't have enough to eat, but they still take risks. This is called the government forcing the people to rebel."

"It took several states and counties to report to the court. Needless to say, these bastards really deserve to be killed."

"Then, Your Majesty, how should we deal with this matter?"

Cao Zhengchun asked.

"There is no better way now, except to send a capable person to stabilize the overall situation."

"Immediately go all out to provide disaster relief. Once the people's morale is stabilized, those victims who took desperate measures will defeat themselves."

"The governor of Yuzhou is really an incompetent idiot. The problem that could be solved with 300 million taels is now probably not enough even with 600 million taels."

"There's nothing to say. Let's kill this bastard's whole family first. I'll hang his head on the city gate tower for public display. The other officials will wait until the matter calms down before handling it."

Xing Bang thought that Cao Zhengchun might also want to test his ability to govern the country, so he directly explained his plan in an all-round way.

Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun nodded repeatedly and secretly admired him. This regent was really powerful. He seemed to have prepared everything in advance. In an understatement, he had considered all the issues comprehensively.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right, but I'm afraid the treasury won't even be able to get 50 taels of silver."

"Don't worry about this. I have my own arrangements and I have already chosen the candidate."

After saying that, Xing Bang signaled, and Cao Zhengchun resigned.

If you are not in charge, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive!

Xing Bang was not in his position before, but now he is in charge of military and state affairs. This is just the beginning.

Let’s not talk about how to enrich the people and strengthen the country for future comfort.

Everything at the moment is urgent.

The treasury is poor and cannot come up with money.

In such a big country, there are many ways to spend money, and relying on confiscation of homes is not a long-term solution.

The court was like a bandit, and soon the country was in chaos.

Xing Bang already had a plan in mind, but he still had to find other ways to make money.

After arriving in Beijing.

Xing Bang did not return to the palace, but returned to his own mansion.

Without any delay, he immediately summoned Xiao Xizi and Ma Wu, who was in charge of the patrol camp.

When something unexpected happened, we had to cut the knot quickly. Xiao Xizi was naturally the best candidate, and Xing Bang also intended to let him go out to practice more and accumulate prestige.

Soon, Xing Bang explained the general situation.

"The reason why I let you two go is that the situation this time is quite urgent and the court can't come up with any money right now, so we must use thunderous means."

"I won't say much else. If things go wrong, you two won't have to come back to see me."

"Brother, don't worry, I promise to fulfill our mission!"

Xiao Xizi didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly, as did Ma Wu.

Xing Bang just said something bluntly. The governor of Yuzhou would execute his entire family and his property would be confiscated.

As for the rest, figure it out yourself...

To put it bluntly, if you don’t have this ability, what do you want to do?

Xing Bang continued: "Ma Wu, after you return, the affairs of the patrol camp will be handed over to your deputy, and you can directly take over as the governor of Yuzhou."
