Chapter 738: Leaving behind troubles
Not only did Shi Xuanming suddenly realize this, but Gongshu Xuanming on the side also admired him sincerely, "It is the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty and the blessing of all people to have a prince in charge of the court."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. Just as he was about to answer, he saw Long Haotian walking over from the diagonally opposite corner carrying two bags of things.
Seeing Long Haotian with a smile on his face, he knew that this guy was here to get close to him, so he felt disgusted and tilted his head to the side, not looking at him seriously.
Long Haotian walked over with a smile, "Your Majesty, there are some green-seeded grapes here, which are very sweet. You can try them."
Before he got up, he sat on the stone chair and looked up at Long Haotian, "If you have nothing to do to show your courtesy, you are either committing adultery or stealing."
"Haha, where do you start with these words, Your Majesty?" Long Haotian thrust the bundle in his right hand to Shi Xuanming. Without waiting for Shi Xuanming to refuse, he stuffed the bundle in his left hand, "I know from this humble position that General Zhengdong is suffering from chronic illness.
I specially tried my best to find three kinds of spiritual things for him that can relax the muscles and straighten the bones."
"You should have taken it out earlier." He curled his lips with disdain. When everyone first entered the Immortal Palace, Long Haotian asked him to take care of him during the competition, and mysteriously said that he had something he needed as a reward.
The things he said he needed were undoubtedly these spiritual things to heal Da Tou's injuries.
How could Long Haotian not hear that he was mocking himself, but he was too thick-skinned, so he didn't care, "General Zhengdong has got a body protection talisman now. Naturally, these spiritual objects are useless, but I brought them all."
, you can’t bury your feelings for this humble position.”
Seeing that Long Haotian kept bending down to talk, Gongshu Xuanming on the side wanted to move his seat. He originally wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he endured it.
Long Haotian Chong Gongshu Xuanming thanked him but did not sit down. Instead, he squatted in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, when are you going to play?"
"I should ask you this," he sarcastically said, "You, the majestic Prince of Xichuan County, are not only profound in cultivation, but also have great magical powers. I have to avoid you."
<
br> "Your Majesty is joking," Long Haotian said loudly, "We are ministers in the same palace, and your great favor will not be forgotten for a moment even in this humble position. I have always followed your lead. You are also the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and in your humble position, you know the state treasury.
I was in a hurry, so I immediately sold the pot and sold the iron, spent all my wealth, and collected 66 million taels for you to provide relief. The loyalty to you in this humble position can be learned from time to time."
Long Haotian's words directly caused a panic. This guy really wanted to achieve his goal by any means. He actually showed weakness and loyalty in front of everyone outside the court. He didn't care about his own face at all. He said that he would not hit anyone with a smiley face.
, this guy is so humble, he is indeed a little embarrassed to attack him.
"The one you should be loyal to is the imperial court and the emperor, not me." Zhengse corrected.
"Yes, yes, the prince taught you a lesson." Long Haotian nodded repeatedly.
Seeing his cold and hard attitude, Long Haotian was afraid that something might change, so he could only continue to tease him, "Your Majesty, I was originally a beggar. It was only because of your recommendation and the emperor's respect that I became what I am today. I, Long Haotian, will never dare to forget my classics as long as I live.
Repay kindness with hatred."
Although Long Haotian swore, he did not answer the call. He knew Long Haotian too well. He only saw gains and losses in his eyes, and had no loyalty at all. This guy was an accomplice of the Eunuch Party back then, and saw that the Eunuch Party could not attack the Daming Palace.
, immediately weighed the pros and cons and temporarily betrayed him, turning from a rebel who conspired to rebel into a loyal minister who protected him. The words of such a person cannot be trusted. As long as he is given the opportunity, he will immediately start an army and cause chaos.
Long Haotian continued, "Your Majesty, I also know that I have done some inappropriate things in my early years, but you also know that poverty breeds treachery, and wealth breeds conscience. I was in a miserable situation at that time, so I had no choice but to live in peace. Now, you have ignored the past grievances.
Thanks to the guidance and guidance, I have changed my past mistakes and sincerely regretted them.
.”
"Stop saying that I support you and recommend you. That is an act of the imperial court and has nothing to do with me." He said coldly.
"Why is it irrelevant?" Long Haotian said, "Although I was not present that day, I knew that it was your suggestion to make me the Prince of Xichuan County."
He did not answer the call. In fact, he had not made up his mind to stop Long Haotian from snatching the golden talisman, but he also did not completely give up the idea of preventing him from getting the golden talisman. He wanted to adapt to the situation and make a temporary decision. If he agreed to Long Haotian at this time, he would
It was equivalent to giving Long Haotian reassurance, and it was also equivalent to cutting off his own retreat from competing for the golden talisman.
Seeing that he still didn't express his position, Long Hao knew that it would be useless to keep talking in vain, "Your Majesty, I know that Jiangnan has suffered a disaster this year, the land in Sichuan and Shu is still fertile, and there is still some grain in Xichuan, I have ordered people to collect rice before I left.
Ten million dans of grain will be sent to Chang'an soon."
"You are so generous." He sneered. He had mobilized 80 million dan from the Western Regions, and Long Haotian's 10 million dan were unnecessary.
"Your Majesty, after joining Sichuan in a lowly position, I recruited a lot of soldiers who were demoted. Now we have an army of 200,000 people who need to survive. We really can't afford much." Long Haotian cried.
"Oh, if you didn't tell me, I didn't know you had so many soldiers and horses." He mocked.
Long Haotian knew that he was beating himself up, and he also knew that he had many soldiers and horses that he could not hide. He also knew that the reason why he was so afraid of himself was precisely because he had too many soldiers and horses under him. This guy had an advantage, and that was to get what he wanted.
He did not hesitate to pay the price for the things he had obtained, but he had no choice but to bite his teeth and said with a heartbeat, "As a minister, I should share your worries for you. The soldiers and people of Xichuan were starved for three years, and they raised 30 million dans of grain to support Chang'an."
As the saying goes, killing can only be done with a nod of the head. Seeing that Long Haotian had already spent a lot of money, he no longer made things difficult for him. "No rice for three months."
Thirty million loads, I will go and urge them myself."
"It's a deal." Long Haotian said seriously.
"One word is final." The final word is final.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Long Haotian stopped talking nonsense, stood up straight, bowed and left.
After Long Haotian walked away, Shi Xuanming whispered, "Although the land in Sichuan and Shu is fertile and produces a lot of rice, 30 million dan is not a small amount, and it is not easy for him to raise it."
"If he doesn't spend all his money and food, he may start a rebellion at any time," he said. "In this way, he will not be disobedient within three years."
After saying that, Shi Xuanming nodded slowly. He did not question his approach because of the hidden dangers left. As a person around him, he naturally knew the current situation of the imperial court. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as terminally ill. He has been in Dongdong.
I scrape together, try my best to support myself, and have no choice but to try my best to buy time in order to gradually regain my strength.
"Your Majesty, when are you going to play?" Shi Xuanming asked.
"The first game will definitely fail, Long Haotian will be the first to jump up." He said casually.
"Are you going to fight the second game?" Shi Xuanming asked again.
"Not necessarily," he said, pointing to the group of men in black who were in the southwest earthquake position. "They worked together to besiege Yang Kai before, intending to force me to step down and prevent me from competing for the golden talisman. Since they like to fight against me so much, then
I just satisfy them, and whenever they play, I play."
Seeing the instructions in public, Shi Xuanming knew that he was deliberately demonstrating to the other party, so he pointed at the masked woman in black who was sitting alone in the Kun position, "This person is the mastermind behind the scenes."
