(Thanks to the two book friends for their monthly votes. Let me tell you guys that if something unexpected happens, the book will end at the end of the month. If you want to read the next book, you can leave me a message.)
Su Jin smiled and said: "If you want me to die, I have to die. If the emperor really wants to believe him, Manager Huang will not come empty-handed at this moment. I am afraid he will bring a pot of poisonous wine; so his words have not been
After research, it is not credible; if the Xia Kingdom and the Uyghurs and Tibetans really had an attempt to change things, I, Su Jin, was the first to lead my troops to destroy them. If anyone dares to lay a finger on me, the Song Dynasty, I will destroy him for the rest of his life."
Huang Peisheng smacked his lips and said: "Master Su is loyal to the country and open-minded. Zhang Yaozuo will be ashamed to death if he knows about it. Now that you are confident, I can rest assured. Maybe there will be court discussions in the court in the past few days, and you can make your own decision."
Yes, I can't be out for too long, so I have to go back to the palace and say goodbye."
Su Jin stood up and bowed and said, "Thank you for your care, manager. Su Jin is really grateful. The road is slippery after snow, so manager, please be careful when traveling. I'll pack a bag of good tea for you to take with you."
Huang Peisheng laughed and said, "Then I will be disrespectful and say goodbye." Su Jin opened the hall door for him personally, walked him to the door of the house, watched him board the carriage and left, and then walked back slowly with a gloomy face.
[
In the study, Su Jin summoned Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others to report the matter. Several ladies also rushed over to ask about the reason. Su Jin told everyone what Huang Peisheng said. Everyone was shocked. Ma Han and Zhao
If Hu and the others had not been hindered by the presence of several mistresses, they would have been shouting obscene words.
"Duanyun, Ah Li, what is going on in the Xia Kingdom? You also go to the Xia Kingdom often, does the Queen Mother really have some ideas? If it is true, then she is too stupid." Su Jin asked with a frown.
road.
Ah Li said anxiously: "The Nu family doesn't know whether it is true or not. The Nu family has never cared much about these things. Husband, please think of a way. If the Song Dynasty really wants to attack our Xia Kingdom, what should we do?"
Yeli Duanyun bit his lip and said: "I am sure that this matter is 90% false. The Xia Kingdom expanded its troops last year to deal with the harassment of Tibetan and Uighurs. My husband also knows this, but the expansion of the army is only for
Within 400,000, this is within the scope allowed by the Song Dynasty. In addition, there will be one more soldier; the Queen Mother will not be so stupid, leaving the Song Dynasty's thigh alone, but going to join forces with the Uighurs and Tibetans; the iron trade
The story must be nonsense. The Xia Kingdom itself is in short supply of ironware. The ironware that my husband agreed to ban for export is limited to pig iron farm tools, and the quantity is also limited. Where can the excess ironware be supplied to other countries? This must be a rumor."
Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Don't jump to conclusions yet. Without investigation, you have no right to speak. Duanyun will put aside the matter at hand. He will go back to Xia Kingdom years ago to convey my intention to the Queen Mother, and we must investigate this matter quickly."
, if not, then it is best. If there is, ask her to stop immediately and come to Bianliang to explain to the emperor; this kind of thing must not happen. You must understand that the DPRK has already made a motion to include Xia Kingdom in its territory.
Nowadays, with the strength of the Song Dynasty, the destruction of Xia is within reach; the reason why I didn't take action is not because I am on the stage, and Ah Li and Duan Yun are party members, so everyone saves some face for me; but there are many face,
There are many people who are looking for trouble. Once I get the handle, I won't be able to speak out, otherwise I will be involved, do you understand?"
Yeli Duanyun nodded and said: "I understand, I will leave tomorrow. God will help those who help themselves. If my aunt and cousin don't want to live, there is nothing we can do to help them."
Ah Li said with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, please advise them well, tell them not to be confused, and don't make it difficult for your husband."
Yeli Duanyun nodded and said: "Don't worry, I believe our Yeli family will not do stupid things."
Chao Chao said: "Sir, what do you think about Zhang Yaozuo and Han Jiang's slander about your great achievements? How about I go tell Mr. Bao and the others and show him a good look at the court tomorrow morning."
Ma Han said: "Yes, if I don't slap him tomorrow, his parents won't recognize him, so my surname will not be Ma."
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu also made noises, and Su Jin scolded: "You want the young master to be finished early, so go and make trouble! Zhang Yaozuo, I can't do anything to him, how can you just do it?"
Ma Han said: "Isn't he the emperor's uncle? What's so great! Why does the emperor regard the young master's hard work? Listen to this bird! Just find an opportunity to kill these two birds with one knife."
Su Jin glared and said: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense. Do you think that anyone can be killed with one blow? Why did I work so hard? To mess up the Song Dynasty? To make people panic? Besides, what he said is not unreasonable.
, I should have thought of this section. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, the emperor has always planted seeds in his heart. Moreover, I have been too involved in the past few years and have not considered the emperor's feelings. The emperor is the emperor after all.
, We always have to do things under his nose. We think that the world belongs to the people, and the emperor must think that the world belongs to him alone. This is the contradiction."
Everyone was silent, and Yan Biyun said softly: "Husband, don't worry, this is not the first time this has happened. The emperor will know everything clearly and will not do anything because of Zhang Yaozuo and Han Jiang's one-sided words; this matter also reminds us
, Husband, you can think more from the emperor’s point of view when doing things in the future, and try to avoid it as much as possible."
Su Jin nodded and said, "It seems we really have to find some escape route. Hey, I'm so tired!"
Zhao Hu said: "Thanks to Mr. Huang this time. I didn't expect that Mr. Huang is a good friend of the young master, and he rushed to report the news."
Everyone nodded, and Su Jin sneered: "How can such a good thing happen if we are friends enough? Don't you see it?"
Everyone said: "What?"
Su Jindao: "Huang Peisheng is a person close to the emperor. He does have a good relationship with me, but he will never take such a big risk for me. My relationship with him is far from that point. What a shrewd person the emperor is.
Doesn’t he know who he is friends with and what kind of people he is close to? If Huang Peisheng had a really deep friendship with me and was willing to take risks for me, he would have been killed by the emperor long ago. How could the emperor allow people around him to have ears and eyes?
exist?"[
Everyone said in astonishment: "Then what is he doing here? Could it be..."
Su Jindao: "As I expected, the emperor should have deliberately asked him to listen to my tone. Only by pretending to be a whistleblower can he find out what is in my heart. That's why I reprimanded Chaoyang just now because I was afraid of Chaoyang.
I accidentally missed something when I spoke."
Wang Chao said with shame: "I'm sorry, Master, I almost fell into the trap of that eunuch."
Yan Biyun thought deeply: "If according to what my husband said, Huang Peisheng came to check his tone on the emperor's order, wouldn't it mean that the emperor has doubts about my husband?"
Xia Siling said: "Yes, wouldn't that be bad? The emperor became suspicious of her husband and must have believed Zhang Yaozuo's lies."
Su Jin sneered and said: "The emperor is suspicious of everyone, let alone me. Whether Zhang Yaozuo goes or not, he will doubt me. I even think that sometimes he even doubts himself. But the emperor is still well-educated, he He will not easily expose him. He likes to be roundabout. Even if it is something he wants to do himself, he will suggest others to do it for him. This is why he promoted Zhang Yaozuo despite the opposition of everyone. Do you think he Don’t you know that Zhang Yaozuo is a mediocre person? He knows very well that it is this kind of person that he can achieve his goal by hinting at his behavior. Du Yan back then and Zhang Yaozuo now are all such people."
Yeli Duanyun said: "I don't understand why the emperor would do this. Doesn't he want the whole court to unite as one to make the country stronger and richer?"
Su Jindao: "Of course he wants it, and he wants it more than anyone else; but as a fairly shrewd emperor, he not only hopes that when he reigns, the world will be peaceful and the barbarians will surrender, he also hopes that all this will be his own credit. When someone takes away his credit, he will still feel uncomfortable. This is the contradiction in his character."
Chao Chao and others could not understand what Su Jin was trying to express, but Yan Biyun's words gave a good summary: "In other words, the emperor not only hopes that the country will be prosperous and the people are happy, but he also wants everyone to recognize that this is his contribution to governance. Really? The Nu family really doesn't understand. He is already the master of the world, so why should he be greedy for these achievements? It's really strange."
Su Jin said: "This is why some people desire, some fight for fame, some want more benefits, and some want to gain both fame and fortune. For now, it is certain that the emperor is dissatisfied with me, but to what extent it is serious , I think there is no need to worry too much. He is testing my reaction. If I show the slightest disrespect, he will hit me mercilessly. Han Fan and others have set a precedent, and I will never doubt him. They will find another crony hat or some other hat to put on me; it’s really chilling to think about it.”
"Husband, let's just resign. Our family's wealth will last us ten lifetimes, so why should we be angry with him?" Ah Li said innocently.
Su Jin smiled and said: "The whole world is the emperor's territory. If he wants to cause trouble for you, he will cause trouble for you whether you are an official or not. Besides, I still have a lot of things to do. When I finish myself, Whatever I want to do, I will find a way."
Everyone was surprised when they heard that Su Jin's words seemed to indicate the intention of retiring. The young master was at the height of his power and it was the time when he could make great achievements. Would he really choose to let go? And as he said himself, the world is so big. Where can I go to live?
