The peasant girl strikes: Mr., you have to be good

Chapter 396 Go and Exterminate Them
"Your Majesty, calm down!" The spy kneeling in front of Emperor Qian cautiously persuaded Emperor Qian not to get angry, even anger would not solve the problem.

"Going to inquire again, we must investigate his identity. If it is true, we must not keep it alive."

Emperor Qian snorted angrily: "Send someone to arrest Song Ping, I don't believe Song Zichen dare not show his face."

Your Majesty is really confused. Although Song Ping is a commoner, he is the father-in-law of Emperor Ning, and their Song family has a good reputation in Xingyang. If you anger the people, His Majesty's country will be over.

The conscription notice not long ago made the people hate it, and many people called His Majesty a fool.

He was really sweating for His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, you can't lose your footing. We must calm down more at this time. The people of the four major families wish that we would have civil strife immediately, and they will take it if they are so chaotic."

The spy half-kneeled in front of Emperor Qian, and advised Emperor Qian to hold his breath. He is already in his fifties. The emperor's throne is hard to guarantee!
"Ma Yongli, I order you to go to Xingyang County, and I must destroy Song Ping's family."

Emperor Qian flicked his sleeves and sat back on the dragon chair.

When he inquired about the news, he didn't dare to get close to Song Ping's house, not to mention Song Ping's house, even the Hu's and Xia Lize's houses, he couldn't get close to them.

If one day, a war really broke out, how could his master beat others.

There are also members of the Wu family. They are very close to the Song family. He doesn't know whether to report this matter.

Ma Yongli, the confidant of Emperor Qian reminded: "Your Majesty, Hu, Song, and Xia have dual nationalities. If we attack them, Emperor Ning will definitely send troops to us on the grounds of protecting them. At that time, Dongyan The country came to intervene again, and the consequences would be disastrous."

"Hey, you guys need to find a way to confirm Song Zichen's identity as soon as possible. If he is really the former prince, he must be removed."

Under the persuasion of his confidants, Emperor Qian finally regained his senses.

The word Zhaodi is a thorn in his heart. All these years, he has been living in the shadow of Emperor Zhao. He has not found the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, so he feels uneasy!

In order to make the people of Dongyan Kingdom and Nan'an Kingdom believe that he has the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, he asked someone to forge one, but a forgery is a forgery, and it will never become real, and he himself knows how he got it.

"Your Majesty, Lou Tianshuo's wife has been imprisoned, what do you plan to do with her?" Ma Yongli personally thinks that their first task is to show Lou's family clearly and let other families take care of themselves.

"I haven't expressed my position, mainly because Concubine Shu and others are pleading for her. It seems that I should express my position."

Emperor Qian pressed his temple and said coldly: "Tomorrow morning, I will order Lou Yao to be executed. As for Lou Tianshuo, I will keep his head first."

"Your Majesty, I personally think that we should cultivate a pawn and let him do things for us."

The pawn that Ma Yongli was talking about was actually Lou Zhiwei. He felt that Lou Zhiwei had no great skills and could be easily controlled.

"The puppet you're talking about is Lou Zhiwei, right?" Emperor Qian knew all the talents of Lou Tianshuo's sons, and he also agreed to cultivate Lou Zhiwei into a sharp sword.

"You don't have to worry about Chaotang's affairs. Go to Nan'an and find out the true purpose of Song Zichen and others. For the Song family, send someone to watch over it temporarily, so as not to leak the news."

"By the way, the prime minister is hoarding food and grass in Beixin City, probably because he wants to rebel. Although this is a gossip, his subordinates think it is true."

Before Ma Yongli left, he told Emperor Qian about the Chu family's information, and Emperor Qian was furious.

Of the four major families, except for the Wu family, all other families have officials in the court.

In particular, Prime Minister Chu's cliques are all over Xiling.

If there is a real war, he may not win.

It seems that he should snub the queen and let the old thief Chu know that Situ Gan is not easy to mess with.

In the dead of night in Nan'an, it is only eight or nine o'clock at night in Xiling.

Emperor Qian stayed up until dawn, and went to court the next day. He first issued an imperial edict to execute Yao Shi, and then sentenced Wu Xiang and his wife to ten years in prison.

Lou Tianshuo's wife took the lead in embezzling and accepting bribes, and his face as a husband was also dull.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Qian looked at Lou Tianshuo who was kneeling in the hall, and said word by word: "Lou Tianshuo, you are not good at marrying a wife, it really embarrasses our Xiling Kingdom."

"Your Majesty, I'm guilty, please punish me." Lou Tianshuo was already old, and he knelt in the hall, not daring to get up.

His wife committed the crime of deceiving the king, and he, the husband, cannot escape the blame.

He wanted to strangle Wu Xiang and his wife to death. If they hadn't testified against his wife, his wife would have been fine.

"You are indeed guilty. As a high-ranking official, you allowed your wife to sell private salt." Emperor Qian snorted coldly, and said sharply: "Seeing that you have made great contributions to the court, I decided to give you a lighter sentence and fine you a year's salary. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Emperor Qian didn't remove his post to investigate and deal with it. He also considered the balance of power. The power of several big families in the court was intertwined.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." The old Prime Minister Chu came out to report the matter.

When Emperor Qian saw him, his heart was full of dissatisfaction. This old man really has a long life. He is over 70 years old and has not yet handed over his power.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Qian asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, it has been more than 20 days since we ordered the conscription, and there is still no progress. The people keep procrastinating, and I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the task."

"Your Majesty, I do not agree to continue conscription. If you continue to conscription, the people's hearts will be unstable!"

Lou Tianshuo is in charge of the household department. He knows very well how much money is left in the national treasury. Prime Minister Chu encouraged Emperor Qian to conscript troops just to satisfy his own selfish desires. Although he is greedy, he still has a little conscience.

"Master Lou, you were promoted to Minister of the Household Department, and the treasury is empty, isn't it your responsibility?"

Prime Minister Chu was already ready to go to war. He encouraged Emperor Qian to recruit troops, just to make the people of Xiling fight among themselves, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Master Prime Minister, you are the head of all officials, don't you know that it is not appropriate to go to war at this time?" Lou Tianshuo wanted to say that more help than justice, but he did not dare to say it in front of Emperor Qian.

If he said it, it would be tantamount to calling Emperor Qian a fool.

"Father, my son agrees with Lord Lou's point of view. We are in danger at any time. If we don't adjust our conscription strategy, we will lose the trust of the people. If the people rebel at that time, the consequences will be disastrous." Although his son Situ Yu is the grandson of Prime Minister Chu, he is very aware of the situation they are facing in Xiling.

He has been the prince for more than [-] years, and has experienced many things. His grandfather is an ambitious man, and he wants to use the banner of supporting him to seize the Situ family's power.

Conscription will only make the people hate the royal family even more. Forced conscription should be abolished!
"Hmph, are you trying to accuse me of being a fool?" Situ Gan also knew the truth, but he had no money in hand, so he had to choose this way to raise military expenses!

The country belongs to him, and so do the people. If he wants the people to live, the people will live; if he wants the people to die, the people will die.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Qian ordered: "Continue to recruit soldiers. After these three years, I will make good compensation for these untouchables."

When Prime Minister Chu saw that Emperor Qian accepted his opinion, he remonstrated: "Your Majesty, the daughter of Emperor Ning has returned to Nan'an. Now, Xingyang County has become the world of the Song family, the Hu family, and the Xia family. These three families will monitor them, and either drive them out of Xiling, or directly destroy them."
