People's minds are stable, which is the basis for both parties to sit down and talk. However, people's minds are different, both parties think differently, and stand from different angles. The emergence of differences is inevitable. If it is just a small disagreement, it won't matter.
There is always room for negotiation in the overall situation, but if the fundamental nature of the principle is involved, the room for concessions will be pitifully small. Obviously, the battle for the governor of Yanxi is something that neither side can get around.
Hom, with each other's different attitudes, it is extremely difficult to achieve a compromise balance. However, neither party wants the negotiation to break down, so silence has become the unanimous choice of both parties.
Silence after silence, unbearable silence, especially when there is no real trump card in hand, this kind of silence is simply an unbearable torture for Xiao Wei. If possible, Xiao Wei would like to yell and throw himself away
The next sentence "I quit", he just patted his ass and left, but it was a pity that he couldn't, even if it was not for the future plans, nor for the life and death of millions of Yanxi people, even if it was just for his own dignity, Xiao
No matter how difficult it is, Xiao Wei has to grit his teeth and persevere.
"Cough, cough." After a long silence, Wang Yue pretended to cough twice, breaking the suffocating silence in the study room. He looked at Xiao Wei solemnly and asked slowly: "Xiao Wei
Since the prince has spoken about the Liu family, I don’t know who in the young prince’s mind has such great virtues? I don’t know, so I would like to ask the young prince to give me some advice.”
Have you started? Okay, let's do it! Xiao Wei secretly encouraged himself, stared into Wang Yue's eyes, and said solemnly: "Mr. Wang knows it well, Xiao Wang has been enjoying the cold here.
, Su, Gua several states, passing through more than ten cities, although the journey was in a hurry, there were quite a lot of things to see along the way. According to Xiao Wang's knowledge, Yanxi suffered from continuous natural disasters, although it was not to the point of Yizi eating, it was delicious.
It is not uncommon for children to sell their children. However, such things are not happening in the cold and sweet land. Although the people have many things to eat and enjoy, they are in good order. Not only are the mobs looting, but also the victims are gathering together to cause trouble. Why?
It's probably because the guard envoy opened warehouses and stored grain, but also spent all his family wealth to help the people. His wife even did not hesitate to show her face, make porridge everywhere, appease the people, and organize wasteland reclamation. This is a righteous act and not a very virtuous person.
How can this be so? If there is such a virtuous person in Yanxi but he is not used, how can he serve the public? I wonder what Mr. Wang thinks?" [
As the observation envoy to Yanxi, Wang Yue had control over the civil service system and had many eyes and ears. How could he not be aware of Liu Zhenxiong's actions in Lianggan? At this time, he heard Xiao Wei's impassioned words, but was not moved at all. He just shook his head calmly.
He shook his head and said: "Liu San is so heroic, I know it, but no matter what, no matter what, I am afraid that the young prince's hard work will end up in vain. What if things are not harmonious and harm the overall situation?"
Although Wang Yue did not explicitly state the reason why he was not optimistic about Liu Zhenxiong, Xiao Wei clearly understood its meaning, which was to say that Liu Zhenxiong was a commoner. No matter how heroic he was, he would not be able to get the full support of the Liu family, let alone other aristocratic families.
, there are too many obstacles in this, and it is unlikely that he will take charge of the post of governor of Yanxi.
Is it difficult? It is difficult. Xiao Wei has known this for a long time. Not to mention Liu Zhenxiong's status as a concubine, which is not in line with the current inheritance method, nor to say that Liu Zhenxiong does not seem to be favored by his father. This has never been the case when Liu Zhenxiong accompanied him.
It can be seen from the situation that Xiao Wei went to see Liu Xiaoquan together. Even if Liu Zhenxiong, the father of the Liu family, replaced Liu Zhenying, it would not be an easy task to convince the other three families. The obstacles were indeed too great. As early as Xiao
Wei's plan was already clear to Liu Zhenxiong when he came to power, and Wang Yue was needed to give some advice. However, Xiao Wei would never give up his persistence because of difficulties. In his opinion, everything depends on the person's ears, even if there is only a glimmer of it.
Xiao Wei will try his best to fight for the hope.
"Mr. Wang, Xiao Wang has a question in his mind. I don't know whether to ask it or not?" Xiao Wei did not answer Wang Yue's question, but smiled slightly and asked a question.
"Oh? The young prince has something to say, but it's okay to say it." Wang Yue's eyes flashed, and he responded calmly.
Xiao Wei smiled indifferently and asked the question: "I wonder whether the stability Mr. Wang wants is long-term stability, or the stability of lingering?"
As soon as Xiao Wei's question came up, Wang Yue Gujing's unchanging face finally showed a slight trace of confusion. He frowned and looked at Xiao Wei for a long time. Then he spoke with great caution: "Young Master,
What do you mean by that? Forgive me for being stupid, but please explain it clearly."
"The general trend of the world must be united for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time. This is no exception in ancient and modern times. Today, the world is turbulent and great changes are imminent. With Mr. Wang's wisdom, it should be foreseeable. Xiao Wang needs to say more. Although Yanxi is in a remote place
, but it is difficult to avoid being swept by wind and waves. If the inside is unstable, how can it protect against the outside? The Liu family has been in charge of Yanxi for a long time. Although there is a small disaster in the near future, it is really a big mistake. If he suddenly replaces it with his surname, even if it can win
To maintain peace, there will be "chaos" in the long run, and we must guard against this. Furthermore, the Zheng family ignores the national justice and openly colludes with foreign enemies. Even if they have meritorious deeds, how can they be subdued? Even if Mr. Wang tries his best.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to support, and Xiao Wang dare not listen to the consequences of sacrificing the foundation. I hope Mr. Wang will make a clear decision." Xiao Wei spoke freely with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, as if he was entirely considering the long-term peace and stability of Yanxi.
appearance.
"Well." Wang Yue quickly glanced at Xiao Wei, lowered his long eyebrows, and said noncommittally. After being silent for a long time, he said: "If we go by what the young prince said, then the Zheng family will definitely
If we don’t comply, war is just around the corner. War disasters will happen and lives will be ruined. What can we do?”
"War! If the Zheng family dares to go against the will of the people, they will become thieves of the people. They should be wiped out. Before the uprightness of the nation, all the rest will be killed!" Xiao Wei said unceremoniously.
As soon as Xiao Wei finished speaking, Wang Yue raised his eyebrows and asked coldly: "War? The young prince said it lightly. The army has not moved, and the food and grass go first. This is the right reason. Since the young prince knows that I, Yanxi, have repeatedly
Natural disaster, where will food and wages come from?"
"..." As soon as Wang Yue mentioned the food and salary for the army, Xiao Wei couldn't help but be speechless - what is Yanxi's current wealth? Xiao Wei had no idea at all. How could he tell the reason?
If there is no food and salary, how can this war be fought? Xiao Wei really wants to say that the food and salary will be solved by himself, but it is a pity that he cannot say this - despite the fact that Xiao Wei has brought more than 300,000 yuan with him this time.
Two taels of silver worth of goods come to Yanxi, but such a small amount of money is nothing more than a dime for the army's food and salary. Besides, Xiao Wei really wants to invest all his belongings into the Yanxi military expenditure pit.
Xiao Wei was really reluctant to give up the money. Even though the money came very easily, it was money after all, not stones. How could he just throw it away so casually?
Damn it, let’s take a gamble! It’s not a good idea to remain silent like this. Xiao Wei secretly gritted his teeth and said loudly: “Mr. Wang has a good question. Food and salary are the basis of military use. Nowadays, thieves are rampant.
It is necessary to raise troops to attack it. Even so, all the families in Yanxi are responsible. Since the Liu family holds the post of governor, they should take care of their duties. This food and salary should come from the Liu family.
Datou, the rest of the aristocratic families can make up for the shortfall. Although Xiao Wang is an outsider, for the sake of national justice, he is willing to use the goods he brings as military supplies. He only wants to destroy the people's thieves and allow Xiao Wang to take his good horse and return home. I don't know if Wang
Does the old gentleman think it’s possible?”
"The young prince is so righteous, I admire him for it. However, if the war in Yanxi begins and there is chaos in the east, what will happen? Even if the chaos in Yanxi is calmed down, my vitality will be weakened, and it will be difficult to provide backup.
I wonder what the young prince can teach me?" Xiao Weijing said very generously, but Wang Yue seemed unmoved. He slowly stroked the long beard on his chest and then hit it again unhurriedly.
A series of questions.
The east side of Yanxi naturally refers to the imperial court. Wang Yue's words meant that Xiao Wei should endorse the imperial court's actions and ensure that Yanxi would not be attacked by the imperial court. This is a big deal, let alone Xiao Wei.
He is not really a special envoy of the imperial court. Even if Xiao Wei really has a special mission, Xiao Wei cannot take charge of such military and national affairs. If he makes random remarks, he will not only fail to gain Wang Yue's trust, but may even ruin his own life.
, Obviously, this is not easy to answer. The question is not answered, and some beads of sweat can't help but appear on the tip of Xiao Wei's nose.
Damn it, God knows what the old emperor will think in his heart. If there is really a big "chaos" in Yanxi, then the old boy may not be willing to let go of this opportunity to regain Yanxi. With Yanxi, War Horse's
The source can be solved completely. This kind of temptation is not big. God knows whether that old boy will take the risk! Xiao Wei is not sure about Emperor Hongxuan at all, although he can vaguely guess Hongxuan.
The emperor didn't want Yanxi to be in chaos, but he was not sure that Emperor Hongxuan could resist the temptation to regain Yanxi. He felt embarrassed for a while, frowned and thought for a while and said: "Li You
There is a distinction between big profits and small profits. If Yanxi is stable, the country will be solid. This is also a big profit. Giving up big profits for small profits is not what a wise person should do. People agree with this. What does Mr. Wang think? As for backup, Xiao Wang is not talented.
, since I have received permission from Mr. Wang to sell horses, I should do my best to do so. I will not take anything else from Yanxi except horses. In three to five years, I may be able to slow down Yanxi's financial situation."
"The young prince is very righteous, but it must be like this. If there is a loss in business, the business will not last long. I don't want to listen to it. Well, if the young prince can adjust grain from the Central Plains to alleviate the famine in Yanxi, I will
Everything is negotiable." Wang Yue took a deep look at Xiao Wei, shook his head, and said calmly.
Adjusting grain? The two things that the imperial court has the strictest control over each vassal are weapons and food. Without the emperor's imperial edict, these two things cannot be transported into the areas controlled by each vassal. Xiao Wei knows this well.
, this time Xiao Wei came to Yanxi, although there were many goods of all kinds, there were only two important materials. When Wang Yue raised this matter, Xiao Wei's scalp was really numb for a while, and he saw Wang Yue posing.
Knowing that there was no food, Xiao Wei felt like he was going to stop talking about anything. He pondered silently for a while, but he still didn't dare to have the courage to agree haphazardly. He just frowned slightly and said:
"Mr. Wang clearly understands that this matter is a big one and cannot be decided by Xiao Wang. However, it is a matter of national justice. Xiao Wang will fight to the death to obtain sufficient grain for Yanxi. As for whether it will succeed or not, Xiao Wang cannot say for sure.
, I hope Mr. Wang will be kind to you."
"Forget it, I have remembered the words of the young prince. In this case, the young prince will handle the affairs of the Liu family by himself. I am waiting for good news. Well, I don't bother the two masters. The Shi and Zhang families will also bother the young prince to come over.
Okay." Wang Yue stared at Xiao Wei for a long time, then nodded and said in a calm tone.[
Damn, after a long time of fussing, I have to do everything. What the hell is this? Xiao Wei didn’t expect that after talking about it for a long time, it finally came to such a result, so he felt quite dissatisfied.
Unhappy, but to get Wang Yue's acquiescence to his actions, it was barely a worthwhile trip. As for how the rest of the matter would end, Xiao Wei could only take one step at a time, and saw that there was already a hint of gratitude in Wang Yue's words.
Xiao Wei didn't care about the guest's intention, so he stood up, bowed, and left. When he got out of the study door, he was shocked to realize that it had gotten dark at some point, so he had to leave the palace with full of thoughts.
He got on the carriage and drove back to Liu Mansion...
