Chapter 355 You are in full control
"And now, you are thinking of using some baseless and dirty words to discredit him!"
"Do you think I would rather trust an external enemy than my great general?"
"No matter who in this world betrays me, Ling Yunxiao will not do that!"
Zhao Chongxiu spoke a lot in front of Jiang Yue.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!"
After saying this, he looked at Wen Liang again.
"Execution!"
He couldn't wait a moment longer.
Now no matter who they point to, he will no longer believe it.
As for the Donglin Court, whoever dares to cover up the truth is just thinking his life is too long.
At this moment, the tense string deep in Jiang Yue's heart finally relaxed.
Your Majesty, the regulations are clear and every word is to the point.
He also clearly understood that he still had to rely on Ling Yunxiao, and of course he would not tolerate slander from others.
Most kings are suspicious by nature, so Jiang Yue was afraid just now.
The two Northern Yan people thought that Zhao Chongxiu had heard what they said, but they didn't expect that the other party refused to believe a single word they said, and their mood plummeted.
Before they died, they were still thinking about dragging Ling Yunxiao into the water.
"Whether it is or not, you just wait and see!"
"Ling Yunxiao's achievements are greater than yours. If you don't get rid of him, your country will be destroyed..."
"If you want to kill me, then kill me quickly..."
Then, there were cries of pain that were getting louder and louder.
"Your Majesty is wise." Master Zhao Chongzheng said, and sat back in his original seat.
He didn't want to say anything that he originally wanted to argue with, and just looked up at Jiang Yue's eyes.
"Young General, are you moved by His Majesty?"
He felt very much that his royal brother was good at winning people's hearts.
Not only the emperor's brother, but also Ling Yunxiao, is good at winning people's hearts. He can even make such a cold-hearted young general fall in love with him.
Just looking at Jiang Yue's stubborn eyes, he felt that it was not easy.
Jiang Yue faced Zhao Chongxiu and solemnly clasped his fists and said:
"Your Majesty is wise and intelligent, which is a blessing for the people and the soldiers. General Ling and all of us will swear to defend our country to the death, and we will not hesitate to die!"
Zhao Chongxiu listened to Jiang Yue's sincere words, and as a king, he benefited greatly.
The soldiers are constantly fighting, and he should not suspect that Ling Yunxiao has any rebellious intentions.
Then Jiang Yue said:
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
I heard His Majesty say, "Speak."
Jiang Yue continued:
"Because the city gates were sealed, the merchants could not enter the city, so they gathered at the city gates to cause trouble."
"Is this true?" Zhao Chongxiu raised his eyebrows and guessed:
"You must have just come from the city gate. Tell me how you dealt with those troublemakers?"
After hearing this, Jiang Yue explained the reasons why she would keep the grain merchants today and temporarily dismiss the rest of the merchants, as well as how she had asked her Xuanwu Army to keep a strict watch on the grain merchants.
Finally, he did not forget to simplify the matter of his discovery of the Jin spies at the city gate.
"I found a secret letter from the spy." After saying that, she took out the letter from her bosom.
"That Jin spy tried to intrude but was killed by me with one strike of the sword."
"Well done!" Zhao Chongxiu took it in confusion. It was an anonymous letter.
When I opened it, I saw four big characters written on it:
"All we need is the east wind."
Zhao Chongxiu carefully pondered the meaning of these four words, and then he felt a wave of fear.
This requires internal and external cooperation.
The Great Jin had coveted Donglin for a long time and had been observing in secret.
If this letter is really delivered into the city, will the Great Jin take action?
Ever since the Great Jin entered the city wanting to make friends, he felt that he should pay more attention to them, fearing that they would offer those items as tribute, and never thought of actually giving them away.
The great Jin wolf has such ambitious intentions that he deserves death!
"I still say the same thing, except for them!"
After saying this, he thought about the grain merchant again and said, "I'll do it tomorrow."
"Yes!" Speaking of this matter, Jiang Yue thought for a moment and finally said:
"Your Majesty, I have already ordered people to purchase shops. In addition to shops, there is also the matter of purchasing grain. In terms of funds..."
Zhao Chongxiu had never thought about this at all.
He had never done business before, and this time he was just thinking about easing the crisis. He had never been involved in business matters.
It is really sad to think that the soldiers are lacking food and clothing due to years of war.
This time, the funds spent on cotton-padded clothes and supplies far exceeded ten thousand taels of silver, and the cost of military rations was just as much. It was almost the end of the year, and the day for paying the soldiers' salaries was approaching, but there was not much silver in the national treasury.
Beneath Zhao Chongxiu's serious and majestic appearance lies a poor heart.
The money in the national treasury is not used for business. The imperial court spends money on many other things, such as building roads, building city walls, farming, water conservancy, craftsmen, transportation...
Every time the Minister of Works asked for these things, he would reduce them again and again.
It is an indisputable fact that the national treasury is empty.
Finally, he looked at Jiang Yue and said:
"Tomorrow I will go to the Minister of Revenue and ask for five thousand taels of silver. The matter of the shop will be in your name. You are in full charge of this matter. I just want to know that the people have enough food and clothing!"
Five thousand taels of silver really put Jiang Yue at ease.
"Your Majesty, how should the price difference of grain be calculated?"
"I'll give you 30%." Only then did Zhao Chongxiu discover Jiang Yue's business acumen.
It was she who dared to ask for profits.
Who among ordinary people dares?
As His Majesty finished speaking, Jiang Yue noticed Zhao Chongzheng's strange gaze.
...We experienced a lot today. When Jiang Yue came out of the prison, it was already dusk on a moonlit night.
At this moment, in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Zhao Chongzheng looked at Zhao Chongxiu who had not left yet, lowered his eyes and said:
"Brother, this filthy place may pollute your holy body."
After saying that, he glanced at the frame that had been tortured beyond recognition.
It was bloody, too bloody, and it made him feel uncomfortable all over.
Listening to the miserable shouting, how could the emperor and Jiang Yue discuss business here? Each of them was not a normal person.
"Fourth brother." Zhao Chongxiu was secretly calculating in his heart.
"Until this matter is investigated, just stay in this prison with peace of mind."
Zhao Chongzheng couldn't hold back his urge to curse at this moment, and finally turned around to face the prison wall, no longer paying attention to his royal brother behind him.
I only heard the footsteps of my royal brother leaving.
One last look back, watching the figure walking away.
My royal brother, my royal brother, you clearly guessed that it was not me, yet you still wanted me to stay in this dark cage.
I have to say that you are really smart. You are afraid that once I get out of prison, it will be disadvantageous for your investigation.
But, what have I done wrong? Why should I suffer this unprovoked disaster?
You didn't even want to say a word of comfort.
Zhao Chongzheng thought about it and stopped being angry.
The emperor thinks that the whole country is his most important responsibility. He is overthinking it.
"We must drink tonight so that we can return to court tomorrow!"
