"My lord, I really didn't expect you to come in person. I wonder what the Huns are doing?"
Xiao Xiangguo was a little anxious. The current situation in the Great Shang Dynasty was changing, and everything happened so fast that he did not expect it.
In just one night, the chaos in the entire imperial city was completely eliminated, and half of the ministers in the court were quietly exterminated.
The cruelty and decisiveness of the methods make people shudder.
What made Xiao Xiangguo find it most incredible was that although Murong Bing killed these ministers, he pardoned all the slaves under their sect. Even the tenants who owed them money had their debts forgiven and even received land.
He eliminated a large group of ministers who were disobedient and might rebel at any time, but gained the hearts and minds of tens of thousands of people.
By using such thunderbolt methods and having a bodhisattva heart, it can be said that the emperor's mental skills have been brought into full play.
Everyone can see that today's Emperor Shang is no longer the submissive child he used to be and allowed himself to be manipulated by others.
More than a month ago, Dashang was still suffering from internal and external troubles, and there was a possibility of national subjugation at any time.
But now, the border is stable and the court is clear and bright.
I guess it won't be long before the emperor is afraid that he will take action against him, the prime minister.
King Zuo Xian was holding two maids in his arms, with fat elbows stuffed in his mouth.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiangguo. An army of 500,000 people cannot go south casually. Do we need to prepare food, grass, equipment, military pay and clothing, doctors and logistics personnel accompanying the army? And we were ambushed last time on the sidelines. We
Not only did we lose nearly 100,000 elite troops, but we also lost hundreds of thousands of war horses. These losses cannot be made up in a while."
Xiao Xiangguo gritted his teeth. He knew that King Zuo Xian came here to ask for money from him in various ways.
After all, he had something to ask for, and his situation was not very good, so he could only give money obediently and let the army go south as soon as possible.
"I have collected three million taels of silver here, and I will send it to Mobei Royal Court in the near future. I wonder if this is enough?"
King Zuo Xian's body trembled unconsciously. Most of the time on the grassland, things were exchanged for things. Even members of the royal family rarely saw silver, let alone so much.
There is no way that the Prime Minister of a great businessman only has this little money, and King Zuo Xian doesn't want to show that he has never seen the world.
"Master Xiangguo, the 500,000 troops we have assembled are from the alliance of the grassland countries. As for the silver, each of the allies will get a little bit. If your three million taels of silver are given, none of them will actually be distributed to each family.
How much."
Xiao Xiangguo gritted his teeth. He did not expect that King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu would be so greedy.
Three million taels of silver are not enough!
While the two were talking, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door.
"Dad, I suspect that the emperor may be..."
As soon as the Queen's words reached her lips, she swallowed them alive.
She didn't expect that a Hun guest would come to the prime minister's house. Moreover, this man was very tall and thick, and he was so bloated that he looked like a fat pig.
Especially the way he eats and drinks makes people feel inexplicably sick.
Although the queen was full of depression and anger, she would not tell the secrets of her emperor in front of foreigners.
He just bowed politely and backed out.
Xiao Xiangguo didn't expect that his daughter would come back suddenly, but at this time he couldn't care so much and planned to continue discussing the price with King Zuo Xian.
