Chapter 84: Kenyue Crisis

Jinyiwei?

Song Huizong frowned.

I felt that it was inappropriate for Jin Yiwei to be responsible for this matter, but after thinking about the relationship between Jiang Chen and Yang Jian, his brows immediately relaxed.

He nodded in appreciation and said: "A good minister is not only loyal and keeps his promise, but also knows how to repay his kindness. That's right! In this case, I will be a man of beauty and let you and Yang Daban's Jin Yiwei take charge of this matter."

"Thank you, Master Guan! I respect you, I will do it, you can do whatever you want!"

Jiang Chen clinked glasses with Song Huizong with a flattering look on his face.

"Haha. Okay, I'll do it too!"

Song Huizong smiled and drank it all in one gulp.

After Jiang Chen filled him up again, Song Huizong spoke again:

"Today, when I visited Xinglongde Palace with Cai Xiang and others, Cai Xiang and others said that the country's currency now reaches 50 million yuan (one thousand yuan is one yuan), which is enough for entertainment and wealth for gifts. They suggested that I expand the palace.

Large-scale construction and reclamation of mountains.

I thought that with you as a good disciple, the national treasury would not be in danger, so I decided to follow their instructions and collect all the rare stones from all over the world in Kenyue to build statues for me, King Yun and others! What do you think about this, good minister?

?”

After saying that, Song Huizong looked at Jiang Chen expectantly.

He did not want to consult Jiang Chen's opinion, but he was worried that this move would waste people and money and damage the so-called merit points. He hoped that Jiang Chen could give him a reassuring answer.

Jiang Chen naturally understood what Song Huizong meant, and wanted to tell Song Huizong that if he collected the world's rare stones, it would arouse public resentment and force Fang La and others to revolt, draining the last bit of public support and vitality of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But in his current dangerous situation, he did not dare to offend Song Huizong!

Moreover, he boasted that King Yun was the descendant of Wenquxingjun, and Cai Jing and others suggested that Song Huizong build a statue for King Yun Zhao Kai. What was the purpose of this?

Do Cai Jing and others want to cater to Song Huizong's wishes and establish virtuous people instead of direct heirs?

impossible!

That is not in their interest!

They did not want to support King Yun at all, but wanted to let the world know that it was my words that made Song Huizong have the idea of ​​​​Yi Chu!

Not only would the fledgling King Yun be brought to the table and beaten up, but he would also be blamed on me.

If anything causes trouble or harms Song Huizong’s ‘holy wisdom’, then I will be dead!

After figuring this out, Jiang Chen was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.

Decided to stop Song Huizong's stupid behavior of cheating both his son and his disciples no matter what!

So, he said to Song Huizong: "I dare to ask the official master, what kind of stone do you think is the most exquisite in the world and the most worthy of your status?"

“Of course it’s Taihu stone!”

Song Huizong said, seeing Jiang Chen's disdainful expression, he couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it?"

Jiang Chen shook his head in amusement and said: "No matter how good the Taihu stones are, they are just vulgar objects. If you collect those vulgar objects and bring them back west, aren't you afraid that the immortals in heaven will laugh when they see them?"

this……

Song Huizong frowned and said displeasedly: "I don't use Taihu stone, so what can I use to build Kenyue?"

Can't you just build it?

Jiang Chen's balls ached for a while, and he had no choice but to take out his trump card and said:

"Guan Jia, if there is a Kenyue covered with Taihu stones and a Tongtian glazed tower that houses the glazed statues of you and the nobles in the palace, which one would you choose?"

"Liu Li statue?

Tongtian Glazed Tower?

My dear disciple, do you really mean what you say? If you can really do it, I will naturally no longer care about those mundane things!"

Song Huizong was so excited that he grabbed Jiang Chen's arm and stared at him with bright eyes.

“Disciples always keep their word and practice it!”

Jiang Chen nodded confidently, and then tactfully advised Song Huizong: "Building Kenyue will not only waste the people and money, but also be detrimental to the merits of the official family. The construction of long-distance transportation will take a lot of time, and I am afraid that it will not be completed within three to five years.

If the official master is willing to give his disciple one year, he will have the confidence to study the secret method of turning sand into gold. Not only can he build a glazed statue for you, but he can even build a glazed palace for you!"

"One year?

OK! I promise you!"

Song Huizong's eyes were full of excitement and anticipation, and he said to Jiang Chen very boldly: "Good minister, do you have any need to study the method of turning stone into gold? But it doesn't matter, I will definitely satisfy you as a teacher!"

"This is not urgent!

After the disciple has figured out the clues, he will naturally go to the official master to ask for what he needs."

As Jiang Chen spoke, he showed a worried expression to Song Huizong and said, "What my disciple is worried about now is a major event that will affect your return to heaven!"

"What's the big deal?"

Song Huizong asked nervously, rather than having fun, he hoped to "go to heaven" as soon as possible.

Jiang Chen replied: "As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people! But after you came to the throne, master, the price of food increased from five cents per liter to seventeen cents per liter today. This clearly shows that someone is compromising your merit and virtue."

People’s hearts!”

"Huh? Are you talking about Prime Minister Cai?"

Song Huizong frowned and looked at Jiang Chen displeased.

He naturally knew that the rise in prices was caused by Cai Jing's new policy measures such as offering large sums of money for one to ten, but Cai Jing's actions were all to make money for him and the national treasury, and in his eyes they were meritorious.

"What my disciple is talking about is not the Grand Master, but some unscrupulous businessmen with ulterior motives!

Although Jiaozi and Chongning's large sum of money, which is equivalent to ten, will cause prices to rise, considering the amount, doubling the price of food is already the limit.

But the price of food has more than tripled, so there must be some treacherous people taking advantage of this!"

Jiang Chen shook his head, and did not dare to pass the responsibility to Cai Jing, because that was no different from passing the responsibility to Song Huizong, which was purely seeking death.

So after he defended Cai Jing, he lowered his voice and said: "Master, I have a way to catch out those profiteers with ulterior motives and let the Jin Yiwei confiscate their homes to fill the national treasury, and at the same time make a profit and lower the price of food...

…”

Um?

When Song Huizong heard this, he immediately became interested.

After listening carefully and thinking about it, I didn't find anything wrong, so I nodded and said: "Okay! I will ask Yang Daban to fully cooperate with you on this matter, just let it go and do it!"

"Thank you, Master, for trusting me. I would like to ask Master not to reveal it to a third party before the matter is completed, so as not to fail!"

Jiang Chen smiled, knowing that the opportunity had come to eradicate Wang Zhongke completely.

"It's natural!"

After listening to Jiang Chen's analysis, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty also felt that the rise in food prices to the current level was a bit exaggerated. He wanted to see who were the treacherous people behind this that dared to destroy his popularity and merit.

Therefore, he wanted to give Jiang Chen more rights on the spot.

However, Jiang Chen knew that his foundation was now unstable, and his so-called rights were not only unstable, but also vulnerable to being framed by others. If he was not careful, he would be plotted by Cai Jing.

Therefore, after he refused, he directly sought benefits for Shopkeeper Pan and Liu Feng.

This made Song Huizong value him more and more.

He thought to himself: If this disciple is so grateful to repay his kindness, he will definitely be more loyal to me as the master. In the future, I can give it a try in critical situations.

With this idea in mind, Song Huizong left the Jiaofang Division with a happy heart under Jiang Chen's respectful farewell.
Chapter completed!
