After kicking the scumbag husband, the prince hugged my thigh and begged me to marry him

Chapter 478 The Court Cannot Be Too Lonely

Yuwen Xiaoben was stunned by what Ye Qingyou said. He thought it would take some time before Ye Qingyou could admit that she was the one who did it.

But he didn't expect that Ye Qingyou admitted it before he even opened his mouth to speak?
This incident was too unexpected and disrupted Yuwen Xiao's rhythm.

He stood there in a daze, unable to react for a long time. "What should I do next?" He was really at a loss.

Ye Qingyou pursed his lips, "How should I know? But you should be prepared. If you fail to resist, some officials will propose peace talks and remove you, the crown prince."

"Qingyou is right. You should make this plan." Pan Sisheng patted Yuwen Xiao's shoulder. "Don't force things. As long as you can save your life, everything else is nothing. Besides, you didn't want to be the crown prince in the first place, right?"

"?!!!" Yuwen Xiao wanted to cry but had no tears. "Why did they choose me? Isn't this really unfair to me?"

Ye Qingyou didn't have time to sympathize with him. "Our Yan Ge'er couldn't understand it either. He was wholeheartedly for Daliang, but he almost lost his life just because his mother was the eldest princess of Yan State. Who would avenge him?"

"There's no need to compare me with him. I wasn't the one who drove him out of the capital!" Yuwen Xiao wanted to cry but had no tears.

"But you didn't stand up to speak for him, did you?" Ye Qingyou did not have excessive sympathy.

Yuwen Xiao knew that he was in the wrong, but there was no way to force it, "So all my efforts are meaningless? Just waiting to be deposed and tried, and then put an end to this farce?" His straight back also sagged a little. It is not appropriate to meddle in matters that are not your business. Only when he was in this position did he realize how great the pressure was.

"To be honest, I'm beginning to understand Yuwen Chun. I've only been in this position for twenty days, while he has been in this position for thirty years."

"If I had to be a useless person who dared not use his brain for thirty years, I would have found a rope and hanged myself long ago."

After saying this, Yuwen Xiao did not stay any longer. He turned around and left through the corner gate, hurried back to the palace to report.

Pan Sisheng looked at his dejected back and touched his chin, "Are we really not going to sell a single grain of food to Yuwen Xin?"

If Yuwen Xin had more food and medicine supplies, he would have been able to capture more cities.

Ye Qingyou sternly refused, "A gentleman's word is worth a thousand gold. I said I won't sell it, so I won't sell it... Don't play tricks on this matter, even if you come forward."

Pan Sisheng could only put the idea aside and ordered Chen Liuer, Huang Hu and others to continue to keep an eye on the outside public opinion.

Yuwen Xiao and Yuwen Xin were busy all day but could not get any information out of them. They could only catch two scapegoats and beat them to death in the street to suppress the public opinion storm.

"Daliang is a strong state with powerful soldiers and horses. How can we allow villains to covet it? Yuwen Xin is disloyal to Daliang and is a traitor. Heaven will punish him. Your Majesty has sent 100,000 elite soldiers to the north to capture the thief and protect the safety and peace of Daliang!"

“Then why don’t food prices go down when they are rising?”

“Even salt has started to rise in price, why not open warehouses and sell it?”

"In war, we must give priority to soldiers, but we can't let ordinary people go hungry!"

……

The constant stream of discussions could not be suppressed by a few lives. After all, it was not Yuwen Yan who killed the person, so there was not much deterrent effect.

"absurd!"

"This is simply too ridiculous!"

After hearing the brothers' report, Emperor Liang's eyes turned bloodshot.

"They actually said that all the food was hijacked by the second brother? Could it be that all the food and grass of Daliang are in those cities? This excuse is really absurd and ridiculous!" "But the second brother did block the official road, and the road was muddy due to heavy rain. The weather was not good." Yuwen Qian said embarrassedly.

"Second brother? He is a traitor, a thief from Daliang!" Emperor Liang couldn't stand Yuwen Qian's way of addressing Yuwen Xin!

Yuwen Qian shrank his neck and dared not say a word.

Yuwen Xiao bit his lip, and naturally would not give Ye Qingyou out. "I think they have stored grain, and are just waiting to see how the situation develops. Father, why don't you give them a high price to stockpile grain, and use the old grain accumulated by the Ministry of Works to sell to the people to appease the situation and keep things peaceful."

"Although the bandits attacked the city quickly, they did not have the foundation to accumulate strength over time. As long as we delay the attack a little longer, they will not be able to withstand it."

"What if they join forces with the State of Yan?" Emperor Liang raised the most crucial concern and also asked a question.

Yuwen Qian naturally couldn't answer and looked at Yuwen Xiao blankly.

Yuwen Xiao said with a stiff face, "I think Yan will wait and see what happens, and will not support them without hesitation. If the situation of the bandits is not good, they will definitely ignore it."

"Are you so sure?" Emperor Liang asked.

Yuwen Xiao said, "These are the only things I have considered. Please give me more advice, Father."

The humility of the two men made Emperor Liang very satisfied. "Let the Ministry of Revenue negotiate. The price of the new grain can only be raised to 15% at most, and the rest can be made up by exempting taxes. The grain merchants who dare not agree will be directly cut off. Don't be soft at this time."

"Yes." Yuwen Qian agreed.

Now that it was his turn to kill someone, he felt a little uncomfortable.

But anyone who dares to disobey Emperor Liang at this time would be risking his life.

For the first time, he missed the days when Yuwen Yan was around. He just hoped that this ancestor would come back soon. They had really had enough.

Yuwen Xiao considered it for a while and went to find the Ministry of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue called on grain merchants to store and release grain, which actually helped to alleviate the situation. However, Ye Qingyou, who had little money, was very dissatisfied.

"You are still calculating even at this critical moment. If I were not afraid of the lives of the soldiers in Daliang, I really would not want to sell a single stone of grain!"

"Aren't you still too soft-hearted?" Pan Sisheng snorted, "If you had sold it to Yu Wenxin at a high price as I said, would you still have to endure this injustice?"

"How can this be considered an injustice?" Ye Qingyou curled her lips. Although she didn't know what Yuwen Yan was doing, she knew that he must be the one who benefited. She also wanted to leave some reserves for her man so she wouldn't reveal all her cards for a little money.

"Even if we have food, salt, and medicine, we still need capable and skilled generals to win the battle." Ye Qingyou does not think that there is still a leader who can hold up the sky in the current Daliang court. "Don't forget that the Lu family army has surrendered to Yuwen Xin. Whether the veterans of the Ministry of War can defeat them and whether they are willing to fight to the death is still to be discussed."

After all, Yuwen Xin is also a prince of Daliang, and in the eyes of outsiders, his ability surpasses Yuwen Xiao and he is more suitable to be made the crown prince.

In the civil war, no one is willing to go all out.

In particular, Emperor Liang's unreasonable killings had already chilled the hearts of too many people.

Pan Sisheng naturally understood what Ye Qingyou said, "Maybe we should add some heat? Otherwise the court will be too deserted and not lively enough."

Ye Qingyou shuddered, "What do you want to do?"

Pan Sisheng's silver fox cloak took advantage of his peach blossom eyes to be particularly cunning: "My eldest brother is still idle, and he always wants to play a role?"
