Chapter 67: The wind comment changes, the people are boiling, the post-disaster confrontation, the a
Hundreds of officials retreated from the court.
Within Kyoto.
The news also leaked out in an instant.
In fact, the entire Daxia Kyoto is waiting for this melon.
Gu Jinnian violated laws and disciplines and killed innocent people indiscriminately, which made the people of Jiangning Mansion miserable. If such a big crime falls on anyone, it will be the fault of the nine tribes.
The officials were depressed for four days.
Everyone is looking forward to whether the emperor will punish Gu Jinnian today.
Some people think that Gu Jinnian is the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo after all, so he might be punished with a small amount of punishment and then let the matter go.
Some people also believe that the Gu family has a great business and the imperial power is afraid of it. Now that something like this happens, a murderer must be killed to teach the Gu family a lesson.
Later, the Duke of Zhen went to court in person. When he was on the road, he was seen by the people, which also caused countless controversies.
Now everyone is waiting for the meeting to end and then ask about the situation.
Plum Blossom Alley.
This is a famous alley in Kyoto. Large and small alleys are connected in a series. Because the area is too large, singers, sellers, children and the elderly all basically gather in this alley.
Some people were talking loudly about Gu Jinnian.
But at this moment.
A figure walked over quickly, sweating profusely.
"The results are out, the results are out."
"It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
The person who came here was a domestic servant in an official's family. He worked for the official and still had some status among the people.
Now that the court meeting has ended for an hour, the matter has spread among the powerful circles. The servants and maids have all heard about it.
After learning the results of the court meeting, it was immediately spread to the people.
"The flood in Jiangning Prefecture has been put down. It was Gu Jinnian's suggestion. Now the price of rice in Jiangning Prefecture has dropped to four taels of silver and one stone. The imperial court has bought up all the rice merchants and opened warehouses to release grain."
The visitor breathed heavily and was out of breath at the same time, and informed the people of the news.
As soon as this was said, it immediately caused a big stir.
"What the hell?"
"Has the rice price in Jiangning Prefecture returned to normal?"
"What, what? Didn't you say yesterday that one stone of rice has increased to several thousand taels? Why is the price stable today?"
"Isn't this impossible? The grain and rice in Kyoto costs five taels per stone. You say it costs four taels in Jiangning Prefecture? Are you serious?"
In an instant, the people were dumbfounded. They were still waiting for the result.
Unexpectedly, I heard this news.
"That's right. This is the result of the court meeting. All civil and military officials were stunned."
"It was Gu Jinnian who suggested it, but the Holy One deliberately concealed it because he was afraid that some treacherous ministers would collude with businessmen."
"Moreover, the group of scholars who made trouble before have already confessed. Someone bribed them to cause trouble for Gu Jinnian, and even tried to murder Gu Jinnian."
The latter opened his mouth and tried his best to explain that this was first-hand information and he must show it to show that he was well-informed.
"What's the plan? Can you make Jiangning Prefecture's rice merchants lower their prices? Are you trying to coax children?"
"Yes, how can there be such a plan? If you say it can be reduced to dozens of taels of silver and one stone, I believe it. But if you want to say that it can be reduced to four taels of silver and one stone? Old man, I will never believe it."
"The price of rice in the disaster-stricken land is still cheaper than that in the capital city? Isn't this a lie?"
"Yeah, those rice merchants have such good intentions? Why did they go there if they had such good intentions?"
The people didn't believe it at all.
"Don't believe it. I didn't believe it at first, but then I heard from the housekeeper."
"His Royal Highness, he is really very smart. Do you know how he did it?"
"He first asked the governor of Jiangning County to cooperate with the merchants in private. On the surface, he was colluding with the others and allowed these merchants to increase prices wildly."
"Then he secretly sent people to raise the price of grain in Jiangning Mansion, and then asked himself to buy it. The price of grain soared from one hundred and twenty taels to two hundred taels, three hundred taels, four hundred taels, and even to the last six hundred taels.
Two pieces of silver and one stone."
"At this time, let me ask you, if you were about a hundred miles away from Jiangning Mansion, what would you do?"
The man's face turned red. He was very unconvinced by everyone's doubts, but he had to convince these guys today.
Follow his questions.
Everyone said almost without thinking.
"I must be selling rice."
"Six hundred taels a stone? I'll sell all my three hundred taels a stone."
"Selling one stone will make me rich."
"Yeah, let alone a hundred miles, even if it's three hundred miles, rent a few carriages, find a few young and strong people, work together, sell ten stones of grain and rice, and I won't have any worries in this life."
The common people subconsciously replied that this is a normal idea.
"right."
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants is this effect. All the people in the eighteen prefectures around Jiangning Mansion have taken out their crops. Some farmers even cut wheat in advance and sent it to Jiangning Mansion."
The glory of the sun and the moon
"When we get to Jiangning Mansion, do you know what happened?"
The man said extremely excitedly, which also whetted the appetite of the people.
"What happened?"
"Speak quickly and stop whining here."
The people opened their mouths and asked each other.
"His Royal Highness, please immediately send thirteen dragon boats to Jiangning Mansion. They are all full of grain, and then ask the government to open warehouses to release grain."
"Actually, the inside of this granary, including the grain transported, can only last less than half a month at most."
"But these people who come from other places to sell rice don't know. They only know that the grain has been shipped here, and the suffering people no longer need to spend money to buy grain."
"Now these foreigners are all dizzy with anxiety. They have been delayed for a day, all the labor costs, and accommodation. They even have to guard against some refugees snatching food. It can be said that they are on tenterhooks."
"So we gritted our teeth and cut the price like crazy. Someone took the lead in cutting the price, and everyone else immediately followed suit. The price dropped from a few hundred taels to dozens of taels, but the refugees didn't buy it at all."
"In the end, it dropped to seven or eight taels of silver per stone before people started to buy it. But there weren't many people buying, and they couldn't afford to delay. Finally, it dropped to four taels of silver per stone."
The man was spitting everywhere, as if he was immersed in the scene, and what he said was convincing.
"Do you know how many foreigners there are? I heard that there are more than 400 trails in Jiangning Prefecture, and all of them are people transporting grain, and they all want to come here to make a fortune."
"As a result, the rice merchants in Jiangning Prefecture were miserable. Under the strict prohibition of price increases by the government, and thinking that there would be a good harvest in another month, they were worried that their rice would turn into old rice, so they contacted the government
Sign the food bill."
"According to the calculation of four liang and one stone, all of them were bought by the government. This is a memorial written by the governor of Jiangning County himself, and it was delivered to the Holy Lord yesterday."
"It is said that the rice merchants in Jiangning Prefecture have enough grain to feed the people of Jiangning Prefecture for three months. Plus the food sent by outsiders, it will be enough for two months."
"In these five months, including the upcoming harvest, we can still wait for another harvest."
"The imperial court has sent people to reserve grain from the nineteen surrounding prefectures, and the Ministry of Industry has sent people to repair all the main roads in Jiangning Mansion. It will be passable in three months at most. By this time, the imperial court can also transport grain."
"The people of Jiangning Prefecture don't have to worry about food at all. People will never starve to death again. Do you believe it now?"
When the man said this, he took a deep breath. He was so excited when he spoke that he almost lost his breath.
Sure enough, everything is said here, and it is said so clearly and simply.
How could these people still not understand?
When they think about it in their own shoes, they feel that everything is taken for granted.
"Hiss, this Crown Prince is really smart. He actually uses such a move. Good, good, good."
"If you say this, I will believe it. If you say that the price suddenly dropped, I will never believe it. I believe you can use this kind of strategy."
"Okay, first use high prices to attract the people around you, ask them to send food, and then open a warehouse to stock the food. These people from other places cannot stay in Jiangning Mansion for a long time. They just come here to make a quick silver transaction. If it takes too long,
The cost is huge.”
"In addition, ordinary people like us are also law-abiding people. If we can make a lot of money, we can make it. If we can't, we won't be heartbroken. Unlike those businessmen, who are all extremely cunning. Okay, okay, this plan is really good."
"As expected of a person who can write eternal articles, His Royal Highness is truly talented and unparalleled in wisdom."
"If you put it this way, there was something really wrong with those scholars before."
The common people's opinion of Gu Jinnian changed almost instantly, and they praised Gu Jinnian overwhelmingly.
He even had huge doubts about those scholars.
"There is indeed a problem. With so many people suddenly gathered in Haoduanduan, someone must be doing something secretly."
"Yes, yes, that's right. I think so. Have you noticed that we don't know anything? We don't know anything about the situation in Jiangning Mansion. How did they find out all of a sudden?"
"That's right. Another point is that the increase in grain prices in Jiangning Prefecture, based on the situation at that time, what does it have to do with Gu Jinnian?"
"That's right, why do you care about Gu Jinnian? If you insist on going to trouble Gu Jinnian, there must be a conspiracy."
Suddenly, the people's perception of Gu Jinnian changed from an arrogant playboy to a victim dedicated to serving the country.
And Plum Blossom Hutong is just a microcosm.
The entire Daxia Kyoto was full of such sounds.
Just say that the people didn't believe it at all, but for some reason, Gu Jinnian's strategy was directly made public.
Theoretically, this strategy cannot be made public. Even if officials know about it, it cannot be spread to the ears of the people.
Someone was deliberately spreading such things. After the plan was made public, the people suddenly realized it.
Because there is no problem with this strategy from any angle.
However, the biggest troubles now are some scholars in Kyoto.
They gathered in groups to discuss the matter in their respective homes.
Zhang Fuzhong.
Thirty or forty Confucian scholars gathered, with Zhang Yun as the representative. At this moment, he stood in the crowd and was giving an impassioned speech.
He planned to incite all scholars to go to the palace to complain, and directly accuse Gu Jinnian of ten crimes.
We must plead grievances for the common people, and we must also vindicate the grievances of those classmates.
But just as Zhang Yun was giving a passionate speech, several figures quickly ran over and informed everyone of all the rumors outside.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
"Is this Gu Jinnian's suggestion?"
"Hey, this plan is really terrifying, it's a conspiracy."
"No wonder the price of food in Jiangning Prefecture has skyrocketed. It turns out there is another mystery behind it."
"Such a scheme is really ruthless and vicious, and it makes Jiangning Prefecture's rice merchants toy with applause."
"This plan is unprecedented. I dare not even think about it. It must have a good grasp of people's hearts."
At this moment, all the scholars were stunned.
The reason why they dared to gather together was to call their friends to go to the palace to redress their grievances.
The main source of confidence comes from the fact that the people in Jiangning Prefecture are in dire straits and the people are suffering. Using this as a shield, they have nothing to fear.
But now that things are clear, it was indeed Gu Jinnian who provided the advice. Gu Jinnian not only provided the advice, but also perfectly solved the grain disaster in Jiangning Mansion.
It took five days to put down the chaos in Jiangning Mansion.
This is simply unbelievable. Even though they were full of hostility towards Gu Jinnian, after hearing this strategy, they couldn't help but admire Gu Jinnian.
"Then what should we do next?"
"Are you going to continue making trouble?"
Some people swallowed their saliva and couldn't help but ask everyone.
"What a fart. When I came here, my father specifically told me not to get involved. The Duke of Zhen was furious in the court, and His Majesty was also furious."
"I am afraid that all these 3,400-odd classmates will be in bad luck. There are indeed people who secretly instigated and instigated them. Now they have all confessed. Those who confessed will definitely die. The remaining 3,400 people may also be severely punished."
"If we dare to cause trouble, I don't know what His Majesty will do, but the Gu family will definitely not let us go."
"Do you still dare to make trouble?"
When the other party opened his mouth and talked about this, his expression became slightly ugly.
Sure enough, after saying this, all the scholars present could not help but swallow their saliva.
Anyone who pleads guilty and accepts punishment will be put to death.
The remaining 3,400 people will be severely punished, which is terrifying.
It is said that the law does not punish everyone, let alone more than 3,000 scholars? Unless something extremely bad happened, I guess they would turn a blind eye.
But now that His Majesty wants to punish him severely, the Gu family will also take action. One can imagine what is hidden behind this.
To make it clear, the Emperor of Great Xia was going to take action against the literati.
"Ahem, Brother Zhang, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
"Oh, Brother Li, come back together, I have something important to do."
"Since it's a misunderstanding, I'll take my leave first."
"It turns out that someone was sowing discord, so I said something didn't feel right. I would go back first and study it carefully."
At that moment, everyone spoke one after another.
They didn't dare to stay here anymore, for fear that someone would come to check later, find out that they had evil intentions, and arrest them together. Wouldn't that be a loss of blood?
"Everyone, there's no need to be like this. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"Everyone, everyone."
"Why are you all leaving?"
Looking at the people leaving one by one, Zhang Yun looked a little unhappy. He was ready to impeach Gu Jinnian, but he didn't expect that things would take such a big turn.
As a result, people's hearts collapsed, and no one dared to challenge Gu Jinnian anymore.
After the person left, Zhang Yun was angry and annoyed, and finally punched the pillar hard, but the next moment his face couldn't help but frown.
It hurts a little.
Hardly two or three hours.
The whole capital of Great Xia was inexplicably quiet, especially the scholars, who were still in small groups before and insulted Gu Jinnian passionately.
All is silent now.
But just because there's no sound doesn't mean it's okay.
The Xuan Deng Division, the Zhen Fu Division, the Dali Temple, the Criminal Division, the Tianyu Army, the Jingmen Army, and the Xuanwu Army were all searching the city at this moment.
Anyone involved in this matter, or anyone significantly related to this matter, will be arrested and interrogated.
The mighty army instantly made people panic.
This was a search targeting scholars, but for the common people, it was okay, as it did not disturb the common people.
As for the arrest of this group of scholars, it was not too harsh, but it was an obvious attempt to intimidate them.
Arrest the person, ask for his or her identity, and scare him a few times, saying that your accomplices have been recruited. I advise you to make it clear yourself to avoid the pain of jail.
If we can arrest you, we must have evidence. If there is no evidence, we will not arrest you.
You cooperate with me and I cooperate with you. If you let me rest early, I won't be too harsh on you.
After saying these words, if you still don't know anything about it, go home.
If you really want to say something, you can say it slowly.
Generally speaking, the main purpose is to scare people. It is unrealistic to actually attack this group of literati. After all, the matter is not big and there are not many participants. It is just a wake-up call for the literati.
Don't just spread rumors and talk nonsense. The instigator is hateful, and the brainless people are even more hateful. The stupid people must be more hateful than the bad ones.
The bad person has a purpose, and it is right to do so from his standpoint.
But stupid people are different. I'll arrest you. If you say you don't know, you are completely led to the rhythm.
Say you are guilty, there is nothing wrong with it, but the punishment is too harsh and inhumane.
Say you are not guilty, there is nothing wrong with it, but I won’t punish you, which is hard to swallow.
So it depends on the emperor's thoughts, whether it is big or small.
At this moment.
Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Li Shan, Minister of Civil Affairs Hu Yong, and Minister of Rites Yang Kai gathered here.
In addition to the prime minister, Hu Yong and Yang Kai are the prince's power.
In fact, Li Shan can be regarded as half a prince, but he is the prime minister. He must hope that the prince will ascend the throne, but when handling things, he must be impartial and must not participate in any partisan disputes.
Otherwise, his role as prime minister will come to an end.
Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, is very simple. He is from the Ministry of Rites and a great scholar of the dynasty. His distinction between elder and younger is deeply rooted and he supports the prince unconditionally.
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was single-handedly promoted by the prince because he supervised the country.
The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites are the two largest departments.
As for the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry, they have little to do with the prince.
The Minister of Hubu has a very good relationship with His Highness the King of Qin, the Ministry of War also has a very good relationship with the King of Qin, and even the King of Qin has a good relationship with the Gu family.
After all, King Qin was brought out by Mr. Gu back then. During every year and festival, King Qin would go to the Gu family to give gifts.
If it hadn't been for the recent supervision of the country and so many happy events happening to the Gu family, King Qin would have gone long ago.
The Ministry of Punishment has a very good relationship with the Confucian officials, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment cannot have a good relationship with them. In fact, what the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty hate the most is the Ministry of Punishment. When the Ministry of Punishment is involved, many things will be very troublesome.
Confucian ministers are different. They have the authority of censors themselves, which coincides with the Ministry of Punishment, and they are very close.
The Daxia court was actually composed of three forces.
The power of the prince, the power of the King of Qin, and the power of the powerful ministers.
And above the three major forces is the supreme imperial power.
Of course, there is another force.
That is phase power.
It's just that this thing is tacitly understood.
"Prime Minister, Gu Jinnian's strategy is really a miracle. The chess game that everyone and I prepared was overturned by his strategy."
"His Majesty is furious today, I think things are going to be in trouble."
Hu Yong spoke, he was still a little immersed in Gu Jinnian's strategy.
Today, they are preparing to suppress the power of military generals, weaken the influence of the Gu family, and at the same time ask His Majesty to open up the treasury and send money to buy food.
But everything was overturned by Gu Jinnian's plan, which was not just as simple as being embarrassing.
More importantly, none of the plans were implemented.
"It's no trouble."
"The real trouble lies in His Majesty's attitude towards the Jiangning County family."
Li Shan spoke.
It was nothing to be embarrassed. Even if he was scolded by the Duke of Zhen in the court, he would not feel anything.
This will not affect the overall situation.
But what happened next, he felt, was the real trouble.
"What do you mean, Prime Minister? Your Majesty is going to take action against those businessmen?"
Hu Yong opened his mouth and couldn't help but frown.
"not only that."
"Now, in the eyes of His Majesty, anyone who impeaches Gu Jinnian today is suspected of colluding with traders."
"What happened in Jiangning County is extremely strange. There must be someone behind it, and it is most likely a remnant of Jiande."
"There must be some treacherous people in the imperial court who want to restore the throne, advocate opening the national treasury, and buying grain for disaster relief. They are all suspects."
"It's just that His Majesty won't do anything to us. After all, there are still many things waiting for us to deal with in the court."
"But the signs have already been revealed. His Majesty wants to destroy the mountain and shake the tiger. He will kill the aristocratic family first, and then he will liquidate us."
"You two adults should think carefully about how to survive this disaster."
Li Shan spoke, he understood everything and knew what the emperor wanted to do.
But as soon as these words were said, the expressions of the two men changed slightly.
"Prime Minister, it is human nature to open the treasury to buy grain for disaster relief. We are also concerned about the disaster. It is somewhat unlikely that Your Majesty would turn on us."
"I have a clear conscience and am not afraid of this."
Hu Yong's and Yang Kai's answers were somewhat completely different.
But Li Shan sighed, looked at the two of them and shook his head.
"Hu Shangshu, what you said to your Majesty will have no effect if you tell me."
"Yang Shangshu, you have a clear conscience, but how does Your Majesty know whether you have a clear conscience?"
His two words silenced the two of them.
The biggest problem between monarchs and ministers is jealousy. Often because of jealousy, people are demoted, exiled, and killed. Isn't there so little in the history of ancient and modern times?
Nothing less.
"May I ask Mr. Prime Minister, what should we do now?"
Hu Yong opened his mouth and asked the latter.
Upon hearing this, Li Shan looked in the direction of Jiangning Mansion with a calm voice.
"The only solution at the moment is simple."
"Let the prince come forward and take the initiative to severely punish the merchants of the aristocratic family and vote on his attitude."
"Now that His Highness the King of Qin is supervising the country, he is the least suspect in the affairs of Jiangning Mansion. How can someone who supervises the country hope for civil strife in the country?"
"And the Crown Prince has another suspicion, which will not only deepen the gap between him and His Highness King Qin, but more importantly, His Majesty will be suspicious of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"It is understandable to be suspicious of our ministers, but your Majesty cannot be suspicious of the prince. His Royal Highness has been removed from the responsibility of supervising the country. If he is suspected again, I am afraid that one day he will be..."
At this point, Li Shan did not continue.
Instead, he changed the subject and spoke directly.
"The prince must take the initiative to ask your majesty to severely punish all merchants in Jiangning Mansion who sell grain at high prices."
"There are three famous families in Jiangning County. If possible, just kill one of them. In this way, the suspicion can be cleared and the hearts of millions of people in Jiangning County can be earned."
"In this way, the crown prince's position is as stable as Mount Tai. Although the two adults are suspicious, as long as the crown prince is stable, no matter how big the matter is, they will not be angered."
Li Shan spoke.
Start the aftermath work.
Now that the floods in Jiangning County are over, this huge contribution must be reaped.
Gu Jinnian's strategies can gain public support.
But for all the refugees in Jiangning County, who is the most hateful? These businessmen are the most hateful.
When they are full, they will thank Gu Jinnian.
But how long can this gratitude last?
Hatred can always be hidden in the heart. If someone comes forward to kill these evil-doing businessmen at this time, I am afraid that the people's will will prevail over Gu Jinnian's suggestions.
This is the true will of the people.
With the recognition of the people of Jiangning County, the crown prince's position becomes more stable.
Sure enough, after Li Shan said this, Hu Yong and Yang Kai's eyes lit up.
But very quickly, Hu Yong could not help but frown.
"The three major families in Jiangning County, the Zheng family, the Liu family, and the Xu family, are not easy to mess with."
"The Zheng family is said to have a deep relationship with King Qilin and is also the head of the three great families. It would not be a good thing if the prince asks them to offend him."
"Not even the Liu family. The ancestors of the Liu family followed Taizu in the battles and made great achievements. Many officials in Jiangning County are from the Liu family."
"As for the Xu family, it is the natal family of Concubine Yue. It would not be a good idea to apologize."
Hu Yong frowned.
To be able to become a famous family in a county, there must be someone from the imperial court, or an important person from the ancestors, or even worse, there must be a certain vassal king or a high-ranking official from the imperial court.
It's not easy to move anyone.
"At this point, do you still care about this?"
"It's really hard to talk about the Zheng family, and there's no need to offend the Xu family. Although the ancestors of the Liu family had prominent generals, they have turned into loess after all."
"Besides, it's also a military attaché, so it's just right."
"What we need to do now is to gather people's support, make up for our mistakes, and clear our suspicions."
"Moreover, two ministers, if the Liu family doesn't do such a thing, will trouble come to him?"
Li Shan's words were indifferent.
For a moment, the two of them fell silent.
Li Shan is right, the fundamental problem is that they did something wrong, but the background is not big and can be sacrificed.
The other two didn't dare to cause trouble for them, but they wanted to cause trouble for them, which would have an impact on their own interests.
"Then I will go to the Prince's Mansion."
Hu Yong opened his mouth and said so.
"kindness."
"Hurry up, I'm afraid His Highness King Qin won't miss this opportunity."
Li Shan spoke up.
After saying this, Hu Yong and Yang Kai didn't hesitate and stood up to leave.
After the two of them leave.
Li Shan was drinking tea alone, his eyes were extremely complicated.
And at the same time.
Inside the palace of King Qin.
Indeed, just as Li Shan said.
A group of counselors are also discussing how to seize the credit.
"Your Highness."
"Now that the disaster in Jiangning Mansion has been resolved, the people's resentment remains unresolved. If at this time, Your Highness goes to the Holy Lord and takes the initiative to plead guilty, he will severely punish the family."
"This will further solidify the suspicion that Your Highness has nothing to do with this matter."
"Secondly, win the support of the people and reach a higher level."
"Third, come to suppress the prince's power. Today, your Majesty is dissatisfied with the six ministries in the court, especially Prime Minister Li Shan, and Li Shan also has a very good relationship with the prince. Take this opportunity to consult the Prime Minister again. Once His Majesty removes the Prime Minister, this
It means that His Majesty intends to change the position of Crown Prince."
The counselor spoke.
His Highness the King of Qin was very happy.
"Who are the three major families in Jiangning County looking for trouble?"
King Qin frowned. Although he was happy, he was still hesitant on the outside.
"Your Majesty, all three families are involved, but the Xu family will be punished severely. Behind the Xu family is Concubine Yue. It is said that Concubine Yue has a very good relationship with the crown prince. This way, the crown prince's power can be reduced, killing three birds with one stone."
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, please go to the palace quickly to avoid being caught first by the prince's subordinates."
The counselor immediately decided who to trouble.
As soon as he said this, King Qin nodded.
"good."
"I will go to the palace now."
He spoke out, somewhat impatiently.
My brother was removed from prison, and now that this is happening in Jiangning Mansion, there are many shadows in it, especially the shadows of the remnants of Jiande.
If he could take this opportunity to overthrow Prince Yu Zhong, it would be a great joy for him.
"Your Highness, you must remember to plead guilty first, as it will be detrimental to the country, and then plead guilty to the Liu family. Don't be too direct, lest your Majesty become suspicious."
The middle-aged counselor spoke out, and the King of Qin nodded, remembered it, and then prepared his horse and entered the palace.
Kyoto is in a state of excitement.
And in Daxia Academy.
When the news came, all the great Confucian scholars in the academy were dumbfounded.
After learning about Gu Jinnian's strategy, these great Confucian scholars quickly gathered together to discuss the strategy.
After much discussion, the final conclusion is just one sentence.
Gu Jinnian, the city is terrifying.
At the same time, they also completely understood why Su Wenjing was so excited that day.
Now after seeing this strategy, they completely understand.
"What a trick to attack people's hearts. Gu Jinnian is truly a wizard, a wizard."
"What a genius, this is simply a monster. I have lived for eighty years, but I can't come up with such a strategy. I heard that Gu Jinnian only used a stick of incense to come up with such a strategy. This is a monster."
"Oh my god, I didn't expect that I would meet such a good disciple in my later years."
"Good disciple? When did Gu Jinnian become your disciple?"
"Yes, Zhou Ru, what you said, when did Gu Jinnian become your apprentice?"
Everyone was talking about it, until someone shamelessly said that Gu Jinnian was his disciple, which instantly caused controversy.
"I have been on good terms with him for a long time. You don't understand. I'm going to find him now and accept him as my disciple."
Zhou Ru was very excited, but at the same time he was too lazy to pay attention to this group of people, and went straight out to find Gu Jinnian.
"Zhou Ru, what are you thinking about? How can Gu Jinnian, such a genius, be your disciple?"
"Are you qualified?"
"He should worship me as his teacher. I can teach him well."
Someone spoke and stopped Zhou Ru directly.
"What the hell are you talking about? You have a little bit of ink on your belly, and you still teach my disciples? Are you qualified enough?"
"Zhou Ru, you are a disgrace to the gentlemen, and you don't even look at yourself. In the Great Xia Imperial Examination, where did you rank in the palace examination? I was the second best at that time."
"So what if I'm second on the list? I just didn't bother to show off my literary talent back then, so why am I becoming a great scholar?"
"Is second place impressive?"
Zhou Ru sneered again and again.
"It's ridiculous. You don't even bother to show off your literary talent. Do you have any literary talent?"
"All in all, I have decided on Gu Jinnian. He is destined to be my disciple."
The latter spoke with a serious expression.
"Your mother's legs are doomed. I'm going to see today how you are doomed."
"Second place, right? I've made your eyesight dull."
Zhou Ru got a little angry and punched the opponent's eyes twice.
"Zhou Ru, you don't follow martial ethics, you're just a fucking sneak attack."
"Okay, don't be ashamed, I will fight with you today."
The latter gritted his teeth, and his shirt burst in an instant. Although he was old, he was full of tendons and looked old, and he was fighting with Zhou Ru directly.
It caused everyone to be stunned.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, stop it, stop it."
"Two people who are almost two hundred years old together, how shameless are they?"
"Give me some face, Gu Jinnian, give it to me."
"Give your grandma a leg."
"Ouch, you two versus one? That's not fair."
In the academy, four or five scholars started fighting for no apparent reason, while some masters stood silently on both sides.
They wanted to go up and start a fight, but the problem was that they couldn't. These great scholars practiced martial arts diligently every day, and they were not just ordinary people. If they were not careful and received two punches, they would be numb.
The farce of the great scholar in the academy has not spread yet.
But what happened in Kyoto also spread to the ears of the entire Daxia Academy students.
Inside Gu Jinnian's room.
As figures appeared one after another, Gu Jinnian was a little confused.
"What are you doing?"
Inside the room.
Gu Jinnian was studying the sages' books when suddenly a dozen people came and he was a little confused.
Wang Fugui, Xu Ya, Zhao Siqing, Jiang Yezhou, Yang Hanrou, as well as some students who were going to the Holy Hall and other students, all appeared outside the door.
"Brother Gu, you are such a fucking god."
"You managed to put down such a big mess in Jiangning Mansion in five days. Your plan is so amazing. It's so amazing."
Wang Fugui was the first to speak.
He came right in, dancing excitedly.
In the past few days, he had been worried about Gu Jinnian, but until today, with the news coming, Wang Fugui was completely relieved.
It was also a strategy that completely shocked Gu Jinnian.
As a businessman from a family, he understood even more how terrible Gu Jinnian's strategy was.
Gain a clear insight into people's hearts.
Especially the businessman's thoughts and every move are closely controlled by Gu Jinnian.
"What's wrong?"
Listening to Wang Fugui's words, Gu Jinnian probably knew something, but he still asked out of curiosity.
Wang Fugui did not hesitate and directly informed him of all the external matters.
After finishing speaking, Gu Jinnian did not feel any excitement or happiness. Instead, he continued to pick up the book and spoke slowly.
"That's it?"
"I thought you discovered some good places during your exploration."
"It makes me happy in vain."
Gu Jinnian looked very casual.
However, he also sighed heavily in his heart. The success of the plan meant that from now on, no one in Jiangning Mansion would die.
"ha?"
"What adventure?"
"Brother Gu, you started talking nonsense again."
Wang Fugui was a little embarrassed.
After all, Gu Jinnian's reaction was actually a little too calm.
"Brother Wang, from now on, there is no need to fuss over such trivial matters and attract so many people."
"How big of a deal is it just to bring chaos to Jiangning Mansion? In the eyes of some scholars, they might say that it was Mr. Wenjing who came up with the idea and the credit was given to me."
"There's nothing to be happy about."
Gu Jinnian said disapprovingly.
He is being sarcastic.
A lot of people had gathered outside the door. After hearing this, I felt a little ashamed and blushed for no reason.
"Brother Gu, don't say such things."
"This strategy is something we have seen with our own eyes. It belongs to Brother Gu, and belongs to Brother Gu."
"Thousands of people in Jiangning Mansion have been saved because of this. Brother Gu's plan will probably spread throughout the Divine Continent."
Jiang Yezhou walked in, and he was also very happy. Firstly, the chaos in Jiangning Mansion was completely quelled, and secondly, all the injustices Gu Jinnian encountered would turn into smoke.
I am truly happy for my friend.
"Donor Gu saved tens of millions of people with one plan. This is a great merit. Brother Jueming has written a letter and asked the temple host to light a longevity lamp for Brother Gu. May the benefactor live a long life of three hundred years."
Juexin's voice sounded.
He has a more lively temperament, unlike Jueming who is dull and dull.
After hearing this, everyone still felt a little envious. The longevity lantern of Xiaoyuan Temple is definitely not symbolic, but can truly gather the power of faith and enhance personal happiness.
As for whether you can live a long life, I don't know. Anyway, all the major forces in the world want to light a longevity lamp in Xiaoyuan Temple.
"You're welcome."
Gu Jinnian smiled, but didn't say much.
"Brother Gu, what are you talking about? Let's go and have a meal in the dining room. I specially asked someone to bring some fine wine for everyone to take a sip."
"After all, Brother Gu is a student of our Daxia Academy. It is a supreme honor to put an end to the chaos in five days. When we go out in the future, we can promote it everywhere and live as classmates with Brother Gu."
Wang Fugui got up and took Gu Jinnian to drink.
The others also smiled and agreed.
I can't stand the enthusiasm of everyone.
I can only follow everyone to the dining room.
It's just that I heard some strange noises on the road, it seemed like a fight, but I don't know the details.
After arriving at the dining room.
Basically all the students are here. As long as they don't have a big feud with Gu Jinnian, basically all of them are here.
Wang Fugui was so generous that he took out a jar of good wine and filled a bowl of wine for everyone present.
Except for Jueming and the other three, basically everyone filled their cups with wine.
Su Huaiyu and Xu Changge also came.
The two of them are still aloof.
And I often hide in my room, not knowing what to do, and I don’t interact much with people anyway.
But Gu Jinnian has to give him all his face today.
Wang Fugui was born as a businessman, and he always spoke one thing after another.
"Everyone, today's banquet is to congratulate Brother Gu, and to congratulate the tens of thousands of people in Jiangning County."
"The floods and chaos in Jiangning County are the pain of my great summer."
“There are countless casualties and refugees everywhere?
??The monsters are making trouble, which makes people angry."
"But our Brother Gu, the grandson of the Duke of Daxia Town, the son of Linyang Marquis, and the Crown Prince of Daxia, Gu Jinnian, single-handedly quelled the rebellion in Jiangning County."
"This is a great contribution to saving the people from the fire and water. This kind of behavior is a model for our generation of scholars."
Ji Ling Chaos Jue
"It is also a model for Daxia Academy."
"Come on, everyone, pick up the wine in your hands and give me a bowl of wine."
"I'll go first."
When Wang Fugui opened his mouth, his words were even more lofty and ambitious, praising Gu Jinnian from 365 degrees.
This made Gu Jinnian inexplicably embarrassed.
However, everyone did not feel embarrassed and directly raised their wine bowls and drank in one gulp, their eyes full of admiration.
In this way, everyone changed cups one after another, taking one sip after another.
Drink till the end.
All the students began to praise Gu Jinnian.
There were even some people who were drunk and came up directly to apologize to Gu Jinnian, saying that they had listened to the villain's slander before and misunderstood Gu Jinnian.
I regret it now.
Some of the more ruthless ones came right up and kowtowed to Gu Jinnian twice. They were so drunk that they confessed in front of Gu Jinnian.
In fact, no one had any hatred at all, it was just that they were spoiled by various scandals.
I drank some wine now, and Wang Fugui has a bad mouth.
What? I know that some people have some opinions against Brother Gu, but as classmates, we should help each other and there should not be any barriers. Now facts have proved that the previous group of people had problems.
But it has passed. Brother Gu has a broad mind, and there is no real conflict between us. After drinking this bowl of wine, we will be a family from now on, study hard, learn from Brother Gu, and serve the country and the people.
It's really not easy to meet classmates, so I came to drink this bowl of wine.
Some people felt ashamed after saying such heartfelt words, and then one by one they came to apologize and beg for forgiveness.
This made Gu Jinnian really embarrassed.
But I have to say that Wang Fugui's gathering today has indeed made everyone feel less estranged.
Most importantly, there is no conflict of interest.
There is indeed no need to plot against each other. Besides, one more thing, who is Gu Jinnian?
The grandson of the Duke.
The emperor's nephew.
Nowadays, he has written articles and poems about the national destiny through the ages, and even wrote such strategies to quell the chaos in Jiangning Mansion.
Gu Jinnian was able to do things that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty could not handle.
The future must be soaring to the sky, soaring to the sky, soaring to the sky.
Why wouldn't such a person be fawning?
Not flattering but still offending?
Is there something wrong with your brain?
This drinking party lasted until the end of the year.
Gu Jinnian was also a little drunk.
But it's better than them. Others need help when walking.
Gu Jinnian could barely walk back by himself.
Wait until you get back to the room.
Gu Jinnian used force to force out the drink, and then let out a long breath.
The disaster in Jiangning Mansion has been settled.
But the matter in Jiangning Mansion is not over yet.
He stood at the window, looking at the moonlight, with complicated thoughts.
There are still some things waiting for you to do.
However, Gu Jinnian was also thinking deeply.
Do you want to continue making trouble?
At this level, I'm afraid the people behind the scenes will be more honest and make a fuss, which won't have much impact on them.
And he also became more deadly enemies with them, which could easily lead to stronger revenge.
Don't make a fuss.
I feel uncomfortable again.
Somewhat confused.
Gu Jinnian also hesitated.
He expected that the chaos in Jiangning County would end within half a month, but now it would end in five days. While it was beyond imagination, he also understood that the mastermind behind the scenes did not choose to continue causing trouble.
Otherwise, it can still hold up for a few more days.
This is a signal.
A signal that makes you hesitate.
However, maybe he really got drunk.
Gu Jinnian felt a little sleepy.
Lying in bed.
Slowly fell asleep.
And at this moment.
When Gu Jinnian fell asleep.
A bunch of terrifying black energy poured into Daxia Academy from Jiangning Mansion.
But no one noticed.
Even the half-saint Su Wenjing couldn't detect this kind of thing.
This is resentment.
Resentment like a torrent.
It sank into Gu Jinnian's body.
The ancient tree is also at this moment.
Bloom with dazzling light.

how to say.
I finished writing the next chapter, which is another 20,000 words. But I read the next chapter carefully and found it really satisfying, but the plot was a bit stuck.
I have written 10,000 words. If I want to finish it, I have to continue writing 10,000 words, but I can’t finish it.
So I'm thinking about whether to publish the next chapter or not.
Readers can decide for themselves.
