Pei Rong heard the words and was a little confused.
You don't want to put away three hundred thousand taels of silver, but choose to have a name?
Is the name of Marquis Zhengyang so valuable?
Pei Burang's mind flashed through Zhengyang Hou Dunhou's face, and it was really difficult to associate this face with three hundred thousand taels of silver.
No matter how you look at it, it's not worth so much. Three taels of silver is pretty much the same.
Mr. Xiang doesn't understand the ways of business, but he is in a high position, so he naturally understands the truth.
As the young man said, if Feihong wants to settle in Gandu, what he lacks is never money, but a stable enough backing.
And the title of Marquis Zhengyang happens to be this back mountain.
From this point of view, it is reasonable.
The most important thing is that he didn't have to pay anything to buy shares.
Thinking about it this way, wouldn't he have saved another three hundred thousand taels of silver for the court?
Well, I am really a good emperor who is charitable and diligent in managing his family.
"You can buy shares without spending a penny. It's such a good thing. I really can't think of any reason to refuse."
"From now on, if you go to Gandu, all business matters will be in my name, Lu Xu."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan nodded, with joy on his face.
What happened today finally had a happy ending.
"But besides that, I still have a few questions to ask you."
"What?"
"Ten of the eleven students before this exam were taught by you. Their writing ideas and problem-solving steps are all exactly the same."
"For this reason, the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Academy hesitated for a long time on how to judge the case. In the end, the matter was heard by Datian! Suspicious of inciting fraud, I was specially sent to patrol incognito to investigate the matter."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan frowned and said: "I just taught the steps to solve the questions and anticipated the direction of the questions. In previous years, no one did this in the imperial examination, but they didn't guess correctly, and I had better luck. How could I do it? Talk about fraud?"
Since the imperial court has released the list, it means that even if there are some irregularities in it, it has already acquiesced.
Gu Beichuan was not a three-year-old child who had just traveled through time. How could he not understand this?
This old man is probably trying to trick him again.
"Yes, after my investigation, all your disciples said the same thing."
"If you can guess the direction of the imperial examination questions from the more than 300 decrees issued by our court in the past three years, you must have some insights into the situation in the court. I will use this to test you. If you can answer it, the matter will be revealed. But, Your Majesty, I will be there to speak kind words for you."
"But if you don't answer, you are undoubtedly abetting fraud! When the time comes, don't blame the old man, I will be merciless and execute you on the spot!"
boom!
As soon as he said this, Pei Burang, as a competent bodyguard and thug, immediately released his abyss-like aura as a deterrent.
When Gu Beichuan saw this, his mouth almost twitched with anger.
Good guy, the bodyguard who bullied me is not here.
"Just ask."
"Nowadays, the world says that the fourth generation and the third prince of the Yang family, Grand Tutor Yang Huai, formed a clique for personal gain, persecuted the loyal and good, and polluted the court. The emperor today is indifferent to this. Could it be that he is old and fatuous and lacks the glory of his youth? What do you think? ?”
When Gu Beichuan heard this, his heart trembled.
This is the fourth generation of the Yang family and the current emperor. The Zhengyang Marquis is really brave and dares to make such arrogant remarks.
However, this matter involves one's family and life, so it is better to answer truthfully.
After all, if today's conversation is spread, Lu Xu will be punished first. What does it have to do with me, Gu Beichuan?
"In my opinion, that's not the case. Although the current Saint is getting older, he is not senile and dim. Instead, he is working harder and wants to do something great. He seems to be an old man who is ambitious and aims for a thousand miles."
When Mr. Xiang heard this, he was first struck by the words "Old man, ambitious for a thousand miles", and then he was even more surprised by the meaning of Gu Beichuan's words!
"Do you really think so?"
"Naturally. After the turmoil thirty years ago, Da Qian has long since exhausted its energy. If it had not been for such a wise king as Your Majesty, I am afraid that even his strength would have been exhausted. From this point of view, the achievements of the Holy Emperor have already been accomplished. Immortal."
"But the history books won't write it like this. After all, the country was not subjugated thirty years ago, and the Holy One was not able to support the building when it was about to collapse, or turn the tide after it collapsed."
"If you want to be comparable to Emperor Taizu Gao, you need to make greater achievements."
"It's nothing more than reviving the great cause and opening up new territories."
"And there is no conflict between the two. What our Majesty wants is to rejuvenate the great cadres in the process of opening up the territory and eliminate all internal unstable forces and factors, such as the Yang family!"
"Today, no one dares to disobey even though we say what we say in court. However, the Yang family has four generations and three sons, and its power is huge and intricate."
"If a riot occurs due to reckless actions, I'm afraid the entire court will tremble. After experiencing such a catastrophe, how will the court have the confidence to launch the protracted war of the Northern Expedition?"
"So, the way the Holy One thinks of is to use the Northern Expedition to consume the power of the Yang family. When the Northern Expedition ends, or is almost worn out, we can then use an unfounded crime to clean up this century-old family that has been parasitic on Daqian and constantly sucks flesh and blood."
"So, it's not that your Majesty can't, it's that he doesn't want to!"
"Furthermore, didn't His Majesty set up the Prime Minister Faction and the Taiwei Faction to fight against them? The Yang family's little moral character is really not enough in front of our Majesty."
"You're a clown, you're not worth mentioning."
When Mr. Xiang heard this, he did not say whether Gu Beichuan's answer was correct or not. He just laughed and then said: "According to what you said, the Holy Emperor wants to both expedition to the north and deal with the Yang family. Isn't the risk too great? "
"Not only is he a little older, our Majesty is a gambler at heart!"
Who is a gambler? Third-rate!
What is the identity of the emperor? Ninety-five Supreme!
To describe an emperor as a gambler is tantamount to disrespect.
Pei didn't let his body tense up, as if he was ready to go.
But Mr. Xiang still looked calm, and there was no wave on his face.
Seeing this, Gu Beichuan continued: "It's just that since ancient times, whoever has achieved great things has not been a gambler?"
"If we don't talk about the distance, let's talk about our two war gods."
"Why did the champion of that year achieve such great achievements as Feng Yayu and are still being sung by people today?"
"Of course it's because he brought a few elites to attack Yandu. However, no matter how elite he is, he can't avoid the problem of a very small number."
"With such a small number of troops, we went to capture the capital of a country."
"With such behavior, can't we still call him a gambler?"
"If he loses, all his capital will be sacrificed. He will be a general who will subjugate his country. He will be known as a clown, and will even bear infamy throughout the ages."
"But, I won the bet!"
"Then you will become famous and be sung throughout the ages!"
