The king behind the empress

Chapter 88 Please taste my cards

Listening to Mo Zizai talking about rebellion so casually, Yang Weishang couldn't help but frowned, "My lord, the word rebellion is no joke."

"You said just now that you don't want to suffer the people, but you can know that once a war breaks out, the people will only die more, and they will not even have the chance to suffer."

"So what?" Mo Zizai asked back: "It's not me who rebelled, so why can't I be blamed for this?"

"All I killed were people who deserved to be killed, and they wanted to gather crowds to rebel because their family's cash cow fell. This should be their problem."

"Elder Ge should tell them this, not me. You can't blame me for all the mistakes just because I'm worried about the people, right?"

Listening to Mo Zizai's sophistry, Yang Weishang lightly shook his head and said, "My lord, this big week is your Mo family's big week."

"You...you are the emperor, but they are not, so I don't blame you because you are worried about the people, but because this is your responsibility."

"It's not my responsibility, and Da Zhou is not my Mo's Da Zhou."

Mo Zizai's tone was very serious, and he said word by word: "The Great Zhou is the Great Zhou of the people of the world, and this responsibility is also the responsibility of the people of the world."

"What I should do, I will definitely do, but this does not mean that I can represent the people of the world."

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Yang Weishang was silent for a while, and the words were all about this point. Mo Zizai obviously made up his mind, and it was useless to say anything else.

"Since the prince has made up his mind, the old man will not say any more."

Yang Weishang shook his head, and stopped trying to persuade Mo Zizai, but turned the topic to the current situation, "Now the treasury has money, but the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot raise food for disaster relief. After a long time, the disaster victims will definitely be in chaos."

"We also need those officials on Zhuque Street today. They spared no effort to build the reputation of the prince as a traitor, just to secretly plan a rebellion."

"After all, there is a 'treacherous' like the prince, and it is justifiable for them to revolt in the name of Qing Jun."

"Mr. Qing's side?" Mo Zizai was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think about it, he didn't expect these ministers to think a lot, no wonder they would be so shameless to black him.

"It seems that under my nose, there are not enough people who dare to do small tricks and come to search their homes."

"Enough is enough, my lord."

Yang Weishang was a little speechless, and said: "If you keep copying, there will be no one in the court to use."

"How can there be no one available?"

Mo Zizai laughed, and said, "Elder Ge is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. I believe that Mr. Ge will not be troubled by such a small matter."

"My lord, there is really no one to use, and the old man will not create something out of nothing."

Yang Weishang felt helpless, "In order to fill the positions that were vacated before, I have promoted all talented people in the Imperial Academy, if you continue to kill, I will really have to leave these positions vacant. "

The ones Mo Zizai killed were all officials of the sixth grade or above. This kind of official position has always been a radish and a pit. If so many were killed at once, it would be difficult for Yang Weishang to be promoted from below, so he could only pull some from the Imperial Academy. Those who are talented will bear it first.

"Is it the Hanlin Academy?"

Mo Zizai rubbed his chin and said with some embarrassment: "I can't wait, Chunwei is still half a year away."

Hearing what Mo Zizai said, Yang Weishang couldn't help shaking his hand holding the teacup. Hearing what Mo Zizai meant, he planned to kill another group of officials, and then let the Hanlin elected by the imperial examination become officials directly?

"My lord, this is absolutely impossible."

Yang Weishang quickly vetoed it: "The New Imperial Academy has the ability, but without any experience, directly appointing an official position will only cause trouble."

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most basic condition for becoming a scholar in the Hanlin Academy was Jinshi, and those who could be admitted to the Jinshi were not ordinary people. That's why Yang Weishang said that the Hanlin Academy was capable.

It's just that experience is really a problem. After all, it is easy to go wrong when you become a high-ranking official right after graduation.

"Then I don't care."

Mo Zizai simply spread his hands and said unreasonably: "Anyway, I will definitely kill people when I turn around. As for who will make up for me after I kill..."

"Your old man is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but I am not. This matter is up to you, and you can handle it as you see."

Seeing Mo Zizai's almost rascally behavior, Yang Weishang felt helpless, he shook his head, and sighed, "Forget it, if you can't select talented people, you can't choose mediocre ones. At worst, you can promote some mediocre talents, which can also solve the urgent need." .”

"It's just my lord, how do you want to solve the disaster relief food and someone secretly preparing to rebel?"

"If you can't solve the two problems, you don't have to think about promotion in my opinion."

"You might as well go ahead and kill all those corrupt officials, and then go find a country that is willing to help you with your money."

Hearing what Yang Weishang said, Mo Zizai couldn't help but look at him with a strange expression. This old man is much darker than Tang Weiyi.

Tang Weiyi felt that if nothing could be done, it would be fine to just leave the country and run away, but this old man who had always been amiable planned to let him chop off all the ministers before running away, what a black belly.

Being stared at by Mo Zizai with strange eyes, Yang Weishang was not at all uncomfortable. He stroked his beard and explained kindly: "The old man was highly valued by the late emperor, so naturally he wants to help the prince set things right, and make the world a brighter future."

"But if something really cannot be done, the old man will naturally not insist fearlessly and let the prince die in vain."

Mo Zizai stared at Yang Weishang for a while, and then slowly said: "It seems that Mr. Ge is ready to die for his country."

Yang Weishang only said to let him go, and never said anything about himself from the beginning to the end. It was obvious that he planned to stay in Tianjing City and live and die with Da Zhou.

"It's as cruel as a big gun, and there are Shang Jun and Wu Jun who sacrificed their lives to die for the country. I have been in fear for 800 years, how can I not be as big as him."

With a slight smile on his face, Yang Weishang said lightly: "What's more, it's not certain whether the old minister will die for the country or not. The old minister guesses that the prince must have a hole card in his hand."

When talking about the hole card in Mo Zizai's hand, Yang Weishang's eyes did not fluctuate at all. Obviously, although he guessed that Mo Zizai had the hole card in his hand, he didn't really believe it.

After all, Mo Zizai was just a prince before, and even if he had cards, they should have been given to him by the late emperor, and these cards can at most protect his safety, and it is impossible to turn the situation around.

Otherwise, the first emperor used it himself back then, so why leave it to Mo Zizai.

When Yang Weishang asked about his hole cards, Mo Zizai hesitated a little. Tang Weiyi could know about accelerators, and Zhou Qi could also know a little bit, but on Yang Weishang's side, Mo Zizai really didn't want him to know too much.

So he pondered for a moment, then pinched a little soil from the table calmly, then pretended to take it out of his arms, then used his true energy to knead the soil into powder, and sprinkled it into Yang Weishang's cup.

"Ge Lao, this is my trump card, please taste it."
