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

Chapter 397
"Your Majesty, the Hu, Song, and Xia families have surrendered to Nan'an. Sooner or later, they will cause trouble for us. If we don't destroy them, we will become our confidants." Prime Minister Chu took the lead in calling for the destruction of the Hu, Song, and Xia families, His followers followed suit.

Shi Yujiang, a fifty-year-old censor, frowned deeply. The emperor was fatuous, and treacherous ministers were in power. His role as a censor was useless. He missed the time when Emperor Zhao was in power.

The three families of Hu, Song, and Xia have the status of Nan'an, and Prime Minister Chu persuaded the emperor to issue an order to deal with them. Isn't that a reason for sending troops to Nan'an.

Besides, what these three families do is a matter of benevolence and righteousness. They help the people in dire straits. What's wrong? Just use the excuse of being unwell and return home.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has an instruction book."

Shi Yujiang went out, knelt in the hall, and planned to take the initiative to become an official.

It is true that he is sick. A few days ago, he was still recuperating!
"What's the matter with Shi Aiqing, just tell me." Emperor Qian still has a bit of respect for this Shi Yujiang. This Shi Yujiang has never formed a party for personal gain, and he does not collude with other courtiers. Emperor Qian likes this.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is getting weaker and weaker. I am afraid that he will not be able to serve you anymore. The old minister has decided to vacate the position of Doctor Censor and give it to someone who is capable."

Shi Yujiang took the initiative to resign his old age and returned to his hometown, and everyone was surprised. This doctor Yushi has a very high position, only under the prime minister.

This Shi Yujiang resigned as soon as he said it, how willing he is!

"Father, the imperial censor has been working hard for the court all his life. He wants to return to his hometown to live a peaceful old age, so let's make it happen." Situ Yu wished that the imperial censor would leave as soon as possible so that his people could fill the vacancy. ,

Some courtiers with a bit of conscience are very aware of Shi Yujiang's disposition, and he is probably disappointed with the court, so he will resign and return home.

"It is my will that from now on, I will allow Shi Yujiang, the censor doctor, to retire and return to his hometown. In order to let him have a good night and live a more comfortable life, I will reward him with a hundred taels of gold and five hundred acres of fertile land."

Emperor Qian didn't want to reward Shi Yujiang at first, but Shi Yujiang was a first-rank official after all, and he took the initiative to hand over power, so it was somewhat unreasonable for him not to reward him with something as compensation.

Shi Yujiang didn't want the reward from Emperor Qian, but he thought of his wife and children at home, so he accepted it.

After thanking the Lord Long En, he stood up and made one last request to Emperor Qian.

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't suggest exterminating the Hu, Song, and Xia families. Doesn't it mean that they have never done anything wrong to the court? Taking their current identities as an example, if we want to deal with them, we have to ask Emperor Ning for his opinion. "

Put this matter aside for now, last night, Yongli told him that the Chu family was hoarding food and grass, maybe the Chu family had already prepared for battle, and he couldn't be fooled by the old Chu thief.

"Prime Minister, you haven't thought about this matter. Shi Aiqing's words are very reasonable. Why should I go to exterminate them? Whether they have a handle is in my hands."

"Your Majesty, these three families are relatives of Emperor Ning. They got benefits from Emperor Ning. The old minister is afraid that they will betray the court!" Prime Minister Chu's plan failed, and he felt a little resentful towards Shi Yujiang.

"My lord prime minister, how do you know that they will betray the imperial court? It is common for the three countries to marry each other. If you do this, can the officials understand that you want to start a civil war?" Lou Tianshuo couldn't catch it. Prime Minister Chu's handle, Prime Minister Chu's purpose of doing this, was clearly to stir up conflicts between Xiling and Nan'an.

"My lord, the lower officials don't approve of your doing this. You keep saying that they will betray the imperial court. Do you have evidence?" People from the Xie family also stood up to attack Prime Minister Chu, and Prime Minister Chu immediately became the target of public criticism.

"Isn't that obvious? Emperor Ning clearly wants to buy people's hearts so that they will be willing to attach to him."

Prime Minister Chu sneered furiously: "Xingyang borders Nan'an, if it is taken away by Emperor Ning, wouldn't our Xiling be in danger."

"That's enough, stop arguing." Emperor Qian angrily interrupted the dispute among the ministers: "I have something to announce now. In order to celebrate Emperor Ning's recovery of his daughter, I decided to send envoys to Nan'an Kingdom to Congratulations to Emperor Ning."

"Then who does Your Majesty think is more appropriate to send?" Prime Minister Chu asked respectfully.

"I'll send you to Nan'an." As soon as Emperor Qian said this, Prime Minister Chu almost fainted. He already knew what Emperor Qian knew. If that Song Zichen was really Emperor Zhao's orphan, wouldn't he be looking for death if he went to Nan'an? ?
This stupid gentleman wanted to kill him on the way!
"Zhen will send someone to protect you and ensure that you can reach Nan'an City smoothly."

The third prince, Situ Zhong, was looking for an opportunity to make meritorious service. He understood what his father meant, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "Father, the prime minister is getting old, and I'm worried that he won't be able to take it. Why don't you send me to go with him? a care."

"You are going to Nan'an as an envoy. The task is very important. You can go with the prime minister." The third son offered to go to Nan'an as an envoy. Emperor Qian was very happy. His own son is always better than outsiders.

After Prime Minister Chu took over the mission, he reported with a smile: "Your Majesty, I still have a solution for how to solve the problem of preparing military pay."

"Let's hear it." Emperor Qian looked at Prime Minister Chu leisurely, and Prime Minister Chu said with a smile: "The son of Wu is the richest in this Xiling country. Although he is not an official in the court, he is also a citizen of our Xiling .”

"Father, there are still several princesses in our royal family who have not left the cabinet. Why not let Prince Wu choose one he likes. If we can get his support, don't we worry about not having enough money to expand the army?"

Situ Yu was the first to stand up to support Prime Minister Chu's point of view. His direct sister is 17 years old this year and has not yet betrothed to anyone. If Wu Zhao can become his brother-in-law, he is sure to get Jiangshan.

"Father, it is rumored that Wu Zhao is a broken sleeve. My son is worried that my sister will be wronged if she marries him." Concubine Su De's adopted son, Situ Nan, knew what his eldest brother was up to, and he didn't want him to take advantage of him.

"Fourth, do you have a better solution?" Emperor Qian wanted to marry his daughter to Wu Zhao for a long time, but Wu Zhao always found excuses to shirk.

"Reporting to my father, my son is mainly worried that Wu Zhao will resist and refuse to obey." Situ Nan told his father neither humble nor overbearing, Wu Zhao is rebellious and cunning than a fox, even if they marry the princess, it may not be possible If they could get Wu Zhao's money, they might have transferred their property long ago, and now the entire Duke's mansion is empty.

What they can think of, others can also think of, the most important thing is that they have iron coupons of Danshu in their hands, even if they really resist the decree, so what, they are not afraid of death!
The Wu family has a high reputation among the common people. Once the imperial court really takes action against the Wu family, will those subordinates of Lord Zhen Guo just sit back and watch?

It's too risky to pull the whole body.

The old Prime Minister Chu tried every means to provoke a civil war. He must have planned to rebel a long time ago. He wanted to learn from the previous three big clans and rebel!
Lou Tianshuo hated Wu Zhao for punishing them, so he seized the opportunity and joined in: "Your Highness, the fourth prince, you only grow others' aspirations and destroy your own prestige, a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, isn't it worthy of Prince Wu?"
