As soon as this statement came out.
All the ministers in Tianxia Palace were a little confused!
What on earth is the new prince talking about?
Your Majesty is asking him for advice, right?
What did he do to push the Ninth Prince to King Huangzhou?
Even if there is no countermeasure, it is not right to deal with it in front of you like this, right?
In fact, King Huangzhou's performance during the negotiation... After the negotiation, Eunuch Wei and Li Jian inadvertently mentioned it after they returned to the imperial capital.
All the ministers knew that the King of Huangzhou had done his best to keep the bottom line and reduce the amount of silver compensation to the minimum when he battled wits and courage with the Emperor of Heavenly Wolf when Sirius' half-million troops were pressing down on the territory!
If the emperor didn't want to fight, then the king of Huangzhou would rather fight to the death with the Sirius people, and he wouldn't pay a tael of silver.
In this negotiation, whether it was the princelings or people from other parties, they all applauded the King of Huangzhou for his strength.
However, the emperor was weak and asked Eunuch Wei to compensate the princess and the money at the last moment with his will.
If we want to assign blame, the emperor bears the greatest responsibility.
at this time.
Many important ministers who originally wanted to hug the prince frowned and couldn't help but take two steps back, deciding to wait and see.
All the ministers stared closely at Emperor Xia's face!
really.
Emperor Xia's face darkened and he said coldly: "The prince has no plan to deal with the empty treasury?"
"Still you think...only you, the Nine Emperor Brother, can solve this matter?"
The new prince was stunned: "Father, this is not what I want!"
"What I mean is that when the Nine Emperors were negotiating with the Sirius Empire, they failed to maintain the dignity of our Great Xia Empire and signed such a treaty that was humiliating and humiliating. Not only did they lose Prime Minister Zuo's legitimate daughter, but they also lost so much money. It should be Take responsibility for this!”
Cao Wei was so anxious that he winked at the new prince!
To accuse the Ninth Prince Xia Tian in this matter is to accuse Taiwei Li and Eunuch Wei who were also responsible for the negotiations at the same time, and implicitly accuse the emperor.
Cao Wei's head hurts!
Why are all the princes of Daxia so stupid?
Or did the emperor deliberately make his stupid son the prince?
At this time, Emperor Xia's face was dark, as if he could squeeze out ink: "The Crown Prince is right, the compensation for so much money is indeed caused by your Nine Emperor Brother's poor negotiation!"
Xia Yu felt happy!
Done!
Emperor Xia continued: "Prince, your opinion of your Nine Emperors brother should be more than that!"
"Any more?"
"have!"
Xia Yu decided to seize the opportunity to pursue the victory: "Father, according to the news received from the East Palace, some time ago, the Nine Emperors brothers secretly led the Huangzhou army to Yangzhou without the emperor's order, and acted recklessly on the boundaries of Yangzhou, disturbing the Yangzhou palace. people."
Xia Yu was too smart to drag the King of Yangzhou into the water!
"Father, the Nine Emperors brother has no laws of the country. Please punish him for his crime!"
Emperor Xia's eagle eyes narrowed: "Is there more?"
"have!"
Xia Yu didn't see Cao Wei's crazy reminder at all: "After the witches from the Hehuan Demon Sect entered the wilderness, the Nine Emperor Brothers ignored the royal family and gathered the witches in a separate courtyard, saying that they wanted to teach prostitutes to be good. And moved into that villa to hang out with the witches!"
Having said this, the new prince couldn't help but sow discord and said: "Father, according to your holy decree, the Nine Emperors brothers should marry Sima Lan of Prime Minister Zuo's family after entering Huangzhou, and Sima Lan should be canonized as the Princess of Huangzhou!"
"However, the Nine Emperor Brother did not respect the Holy Order and stayed in the wilderness for so long. Not only did he not talk about the marriage, he also moved to another courtyard to hang out with the Hehuan Witches!"
"This is blatant disobedience!"
"This is a blatant disregard for our father and Prime Minister Zuo!"
"Please ask Father to judge!"
Emperor Xia looked deeply at the new prince.
Then, he looked at Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian deeply: "What do you think, Prime Minister Zuo?"
Sima Jian saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Huangzhou has just experienced war and is in ruins. The task of rebuilding Huangzhou is heavy and complicated. I guess the King of Huangzhou is still focused on rebuilding Huangzhou, so he delayed the wedding! "
"As for the King of Huangzhou leading his army into Yangzhou, the King of Yangzhou has not submitted any memorial!"
"This matter was not mentioned in the memorial of Yangzhou officials!"
"Then I guess the message the prince received was wrong!"
The new prince said anxiously: "There is no way it can go wrong!"
Sima Jian asked maturely: "Does the prince have any evidence?"
The new prince did not dare to show the correspondence with the King of Yangzhou: "No!"
Emperor Xia concluded the verdict: "As a prince, it is really inappropriate for him to believe in information from unknown sources and doubt his brother without any evidence!"
"Wait a minute, come to the imperial study room and explain it to me!"
The new prince: "..."
"yes!"
Sima Jian continued: "As for the king of Huangzhou moving into another courtyard and teaching the witches of the Hehuan sect to be good, although I don't know the truth, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes. King Huangzhou is your majesty's son, and his character is already sacred among the people. Name, I think I’m going to teach the witch to be good!”
Emperor Xia's expression improved a lot: "I think so too!"
"My dear friends, when I first wiped out the Albizia sect, I exiled some Albizia witches who had no evil deeds to the barren state, just to make them behave in the barren state."
"The King of Huangzhou understands my thoughts, so he will personally teach me!"
"He is diligent in his work and loves the people. I am very pleased!"
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
The ministers responded quickly and said: "Your Majesty is wise and wise, and the king of Huangzhou is wise."
Emperor Xia was very satisfied: "However, as the saying goes, it's good to have a family and a career!"
"Huangzhou has been decided. The marriage between the king of Huangzhou and Zuo Xiang's family really shouldn't be delayed any longer!"
"Eunuch Wei, ordered someone to go to Huangzhou with my instructions and order him to marry Sima Lan immediately in Huangzhou!"
"yes!"
at this time.
The new crown prince Xia Yu is confused!
Why is this the result?
Did he make a mistake?
Why did your father speak for Lao Jiu?
What are you doing?
Emperor Xia thought for a while and said: "Since the treasury is empty and you, my dear friends, have no better solution, then according to what the right prime minister Cao Qing's family said, the Ministry of Household Affairs will draft various new taxes and start collecting them immediately!"
Cao Wei was overjoyed: "Yes!"
Now, His Majesty the Emperor is obedient to his words, what a glorious sight!
This feeling is so good!
It’s just that the new prince needs to be taught well!
How stupid!
Shortly after.
In various tea shops and taverns in the imperial capital.
"Snapped......"
Storytellers knocked on the awakening wood one by one and said eloquently: "Everyone, do you know that after our Daxia won the Battle of Huangzhou, Emperor Tianlang led an army of 500,000 to suppress the border, and the court ordered the king of Huangzhou to negotiate with him. As a result, But did you sign a treaty to compensate the princess and money?"
The audience was stunned: "If you win, you still have to pay the princess and your money?"
"What did King Huangzhou say?"
The storyteller shook his head: "Everyone knows that the King of Huangzhou is a sage inside and a king outside. How could he sign such a treaty?"
"This matter was actually done by Cao Wei, the right prime minister of the imperial court, who was afraid of death and encouraged the imperial court to do it."
"Do you know who the princess is who is being sent out for marriage?"
The audience asked angrily: "Who is it?"
The storyteller said with a look of sorrow and anger: "Sima Mei, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Zuo!"
"The aunt of the King of Huangzhou!"
"What?"
The audience was even more angry!
The storyteller continued: "As a result, the King of Huangzhou was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and wanted to have a bloody battle with Emperor Tianlang!"
"But, the court refused to let me!"
The audience roared angrily: "What a traitorous traitor!"
"The King of Huangzhou worked so hard to fight off the Sirius, but he still had to pay for his sister-in-law and sign such an aggrieved and treasonous treaty. It would be strange if he wasn't so angry that he vomited blood!"
The storyteller continued to tell the secrets of the imperial court: "According to reliable information, the treasury is now empty and there is no money to compensate!"
"The right prime minister made another bad idea at the court meeting!"
The audience's hearts were burning: "What's a bad idea?"
The storyteller said with a sad face: "That means continuing to tax us ordinary people!"
"I heard that when you give birth to a child, you pay a capita tax of one tael of silver; when you marry, you pay a wedding tax; when you die, you pay a coffin tax; when you plant trees, you pay a wood tax; when you raise pigs, you pay a pig tax; when you raise cattle, you pay a cattle tax, etc."
"Anyway, it's just to destroy our family!"
Suddenly, countless listeners smashed the tea bowls in their hands and roared: "Cao Cao, you and I are incompatible with each other!"
Outside a pub.
Cao Wei's excited heart gradually became cold because of his morning glory!
His official career is over!
Damn it, who is ruining his official reputation?
Who wants to harm him?
Who?
