Zhu Dashou smiled embarrassedly and said, "I can see some of it, but I haven't determined it." ”

"Let's talk about high arches!" Luo Xin paused for a moment and said: "This is a temptation of Gao Gong to me, if I give in this time, I will be persecuted by Gao Gong in the future." Therefore, whether it is Xu Jie's backwater battle or Gao Gong's temptation, I can't back down.

Hu Zongxian's matter is not just his own business, nor is it my Luo Xin's business alone, it is the wrestling between the Xu Party, the Gao Party and the Fuxing Society, under this wrestling, I am afraid that the court will reshuffle the cards, many people will leave, and the officialdom will pour out a lot of positions. ”

Zhu Dashou said faintly: "That's when you win this war, if you lose in the end, you can't even save yourself, where can you let the brothers move up?" ”

"So I can't be defeated! I can't even go back! ”

"What do you think you have a chance of winning?"

"I don't ask for much, just to let Hu Zongxian return to his hometown with dignity."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin sneered and said: "Xu Jie and Gao Gong both feel that they have grasped the best opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity of disarmament to make Hu Zongxian. However, they didn't know that if the timing was different, maybe I wouldn't be able to help Hu Zongxian. But now, at this time of disarmament, Your Majesty is also most afraid of accidents, and this timing will be of certain benefit to me. I'm just worried about ......"

"What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried that even if I get Hu Zongxian a decent return to his hometown, Hu Zongxian won't be able to accept it."

"What if you can't accept it?" Zhu Dashou glared and said, "Does he still want to be the king of the southeast?" ”

Luo Xin closed his eyes, and said with a look of exhaustion on his face: "It may not happen." If Hu Zongxian ascends to the top and shouts the slogan of the Qing monarch's side, the entire southeast guard will immediately respond like a cloud. ”

"It's miserable!"

King Yu was in charge of the disaster relief in and outside the city at the behest of Emperor Jiajing, and looking at the scene of starvation, King Yu, who was already generous, shed tears. To Hai Rui, who was by his side:

"Lord Hai, this ...... It's miserable! These are my people, and we must find a way for them to live! ”

"Your Highness!" Hai Rui said respectfully: "The blessing of dragging the court, now the Ming Dynasty's finances are still passable, and the court is already trying its best to provide disaster relief." It's just that the grain in Taicang is limited, and the heavy snow hinders the transportation of grain from all over the country to the capital. Even now, it is only twice a day, and Taicang can't last long, just hoping that God won't snow like this again, and some grain from the south can be transported. ”

"What if it doesn't arrive?"

"Then it's a big deal!" Hai Rui's expression was serious.

King Yu was in a very bad mood, and he sat in a sedan chair with an anxious look and walked towards the Ministry of Rites. Luo Xin has become the person that Yuwang relies on the most, and when there is a problem that he can't solve by himself, the first thing he thinks of is Luo Xin.

It's just that after he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, he was told that because of the disarmament, even the military morale of the Fifth Military Camp was also a little unstable, because there were rumors that the Fifth Military Camp would also be cut by half, so Luo Xin rushed to the Fifth Military Camp.

In this way, King Yu's mood was even heavier, so he went to the cabinet to meet Gao Gong.

He knew that the matter of the Fifth Military Camp was not small, and once the Fifth Military Camp was unstable and even mutinied, it would be a big deal. I couldn't help but feel Hai Rui who had been with me just now, and I suddenly felt a wave of disgust for Hai Rui in my heart.

Soon, King Yu saw the high arch. When Gao Gong saw King Yu, he couldn't help but blame him:

"Why did Your Highness come here in person? If something happens, send someone to call the minister, and the minister will go to see His Highness. If you do this, you will make others think that Your Highness has no majesty. ”

"Lonely and anxious!" King Yu sat down and said, "Lone went out early in the morning to inspect the disaster relief, and he hasn't eaten yet, so the senior master has something to eat here, right?" ”

Gao Gong nodded and asked people to prepare a meal for King Yu, who hurriedly said:

"A bowl of rice, a dish is enough, don't waste it."

When the people went down to prepare the meal, King Yu said to Gao Gong: "Master Gao, now that the victims are starving all over the place, and I can't bear it in my lonely heart, can we increase the intensity of disaster relief?" ”

Gao Gong sighed and said, "There is not much surplus grain in Taicang. ”

Hearing Gao Gong's words, King Yu's heart sank to the bottom, and he said half-loudly: "There is no other way?" ”

"It's just that there is not much surplus grain in the capital Taicang, but Daming is not short of grain. There is a lot of grain in the south, but the canals are frozen, and the roads are blocked by heavy snow, so it can't be transported! Gao Gong couldn't help but sigh.

"That'...... What to do? ”

"If you can't do it, you can only ask the rich families in the city to donate food."

"That's great!" Yuwang said excitedly.

"But...... It's hard to work. ”

"Why?"

Gao Gong sighed and said: "For the sake of the rich, they don't hoard grain, it's good to push up the price of grain, and I want them to donate grain...... Hehe......"

"What then?"

"Borrow!"

"Borrow?" Yuwang said incorrectly.

At this time, someone brought food, although Yuwang said that only one bowl of rice and one dish would be fine, but how could that be possible? Or serve four dishes and one soup. King Yu was really hungry, but he just said that it was too wasteful, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

When the two of them were eating, they did not speak. King Yu was anxious to listen to Gao Gong's strategy, so he ate quickly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Gao Gong and said:

"Master, how to borrow, can they borrow?"

"If you borrow it, you can definitely borrow it, after all, it is the court to borrow grain, and it is still reputable. Moreover, they all know that there is grain in the south, and as long as the grain from the south is delivered in February next year, they can return it. ”

"Great!" Yuwang couldn't help but be excited.

Gao Gong shook his head and said, "But they won't borrow a lot, and at this time, they won't show their wealth too much." It is also only able to maintain gruel twice a day until February next year. ”

"This ......" King Yu's face turned unsightly: "This will still starve people to death." ”

Gao Gong sighed and did not speak again.

Ministry of Rites.

Luo Xin hurried back, looking tired. As soon as he stepped into the duty room, he sat down on a chair tiredly. Lu Daqing stepped forward and said:

"Master, you haven't eaten any rice this day, so let's go out and eat something first, right?"

"I don't want to move!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "You go to the restaurant opposite and buy me a mutton pot and come back." ”

"Good!"

Lu Daqing left in a hurry, and after a while, footsteps sounded outside the door. As soon as the door opened, Hai Rui walked in quickly, and when he saw Luo Xin's tired face, a trace of embarrassment appeared in his eyes, but he still asked urgently:

"Lord Luo, is there anything going on in the Fifth Military Camp?"
