Long Xuanen's killing order made Zhou Ruiyuan feel heavy, and when he walked out of the palace, the rain outside was still dripping, and Zhou Ruiyuan's heart seemed to be filled with rain, and he was so heavy that he couldn't breathe. When Moon Seung-hwan passed by him, he stopped and said, "This rain came suddenly. ”

Zhou Ruiyuan glanced at Wen Chenghuan, heard the meaning of his words, nodded and said, "Summer rain is like this, it comes and goes quickly." ”

Wen Chenghuan said: "This rain doesn't seem to pass so quickly, not only in the capital, but also in Dakang this year, the rain is abundant in all parts of Dakang, and this rain should delay the escape of those rioters." I believe that Su Yuchi will be able to catch up with them soon. ”

Zhou Ruiyuan said: "What if you catch up? ”

Wen Chenghuan said: "Your Majesty has just issued a killing order, and you want to kill all the 50,000 chaotic people, and not one of them will be left." ”

Zhou Ruiyuan sighed and said, "Fifty thousand chaotic people, how many families do they have?" Killing them is tantamount to making a feud with 50,000 households, and I am afraid that there will be hundreds of thousands, millions of more enemies in the future. ”

Wen Chenghuan said: "Why didn't Prime Minister Zhou explain it to His Majesty just now? ”

Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Taishi should also understand this truth. "He means why don't you say it? It's not that I'm afraid of offending the angry emperor.

Wen Chenghuan shook his head: "Actually, Your Majesty can only listen to the words of two people now. "One is naturally Hong Beimo, and the other is that Princess Qiqi of Yongyang is now dealing with all the big and small things in the court, if it weren't for the burning of the imperial tomb today, the old emperor would not have personally gathered these courtiers to discuss countermeasures.

When the two were talking, they saw three people coming in front of them, and the middle one was Princess Qiqi of Yongyang, the two of them hurriedly stopped talking, stepped forward and saluted: "Your Royal Highness Princess!" ”

Qiqi stopped, his eyes glancing over their faces. He said softly: "Your Majesty is angry? ”

Wen Chenghuan said: "Long Yan is angry, and the ministers are sincerely afraid. ”

Qiqi said: "Prime Minister Zhou Cheng stays, and I will go back to the palace to discuss with you." ”

Zhou Ruiyuan lowered his head and said: "Yes!" ”

Wen Chenghuan sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that in the heart of this Yongyang princess, Zhou Ruiyuan is obviously more trusted.

Qiqi said to Quan De'an: "Gonggong Quan first invites Prime Minister Zhou Cheng to go to Linglong Zhai to sit down, and I will go to see His Majesty and come back immediately." ”

After everyone left, the anger on Long Xuanen's face was swept away. Hearing that Qiqi was coming, he withdrew from everyone.

Qiqi entered the palace, came to Long Xuanen, and said softly: "Qiqi see Your Majesty!" ”

Long Xuanen said in a low voice: "It seems that you also heard the news." ”

Qiqi nodded, raised his eyes and looked at Long Xuanen and said: "Your Majesty once said that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat, and also said that the people are the foundation of the country, but now why do you not hesitate to offend the people of the world for the sake of the imperial tomb?" ”

Long Xuanen didn't get angry, and said with a pleasant face: "Do you think I did something wrong in this matter?" ”

Qiqi said: "If 50,000 laborers were not forced to be cornered, how could they rise up?" Haven't you ever thought about the real reason for this chaos? "The emperor is not proper in handling this matter. Ordering the killings would provoke even stronger resistance from the mob.

Long Xuanen said: "Qiqi, these days, I have been reflecting on the past, if it wasn't for my confusion back then, Dakang would not have come to this point, although I re-ascended the throne, but it is difficult to recover, and the lost people's hearts and trust will not be regained no matter what." That's why I'm putting power in your hands and putting you on such a mission. ”

Long Xuanen slowly stood up. Trembling took a step: "Although these courtiers have praised me out of the mountain, everyone has their own purpose, not because they are loyal to me, but because I can represent their interests, and only when I sit on this dragon chair can their interests be protected." I'm old, but I'm not confused. ”

Qiqi bit Sakura's lip, as if he understood his painstaking intentions.

Long Xuanen said: "I am already old, and my energy is not as good as day by day, but you are still young. It's another girl, Dakang has no precedent for women to assist in politics since ancient times, I can still be your backing when I am alive, but what if I die? How will these courtiers obey you? ”

Qiqi said: "Qiqi has no ambition to control Sheji, he just wants to keep this ancestral foundation and keep the Long family." ”

Long Xuanen said: "These days, your hard work, I can see, the affairs of the imperial tomb have always been in charge of Hong Beimo, which he doesn't know what secrets he has managed, I keep saying that I want to ask for immortality and urge the construction of the imperial tomb, the purpose is just to confuse him and avoid him from being suspicious." ”

Qiqi said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have already sensed his ambitions?" ”

Long Xuanen sighed and said: "Some things are obviously known to be poisonous, but in order to survive but have to eat them, if he realizes that I have doubted him, not only me, but even your safety will be endangered, people all over the world think that I am old and confused, believe in what immortality, believe in what is immortal, people live for a lifetime, plants and trees for a while, birth, old age, sickness and death, the replacement of the old and the new is an eternal law, I am just a mortal, how can I compete with the destiny of heaven, when others think that they have controlled you, You'd better pretend to be a fool and only deal him a fatal blow when he is careless and completely let his guard down on you. ”

Qiqi nodded: "Your Majesty has good intentions, and you have been wronged for Dakang." ”

Long Xuanen shook his head and said: "I don't feel wronged, all the Yiqiē today is caused by me, and the rebellion of the Imperial Tomb laborers is beyond my expectations, I didn't know that the environment in which they lived would be so bad, and I didn't expect that someone would exploit and oppress them in this matter." ”

Qiqi said: "Does Your Majesty really want to kill them all?" ”

Long Xuanen looked at Qiqi's pretty face and whispered: "Since everyone thinks that I am a faint monarch and a tyrant, then I can only play this role, I have come to this point, even if I want to change it, I can't change it, once the courtiers' trust in me is lost, it will be difficult to get it back, and the people's support for me is the same." And you can correct my mistakes, and thus gain the respect and confidence of the subjects, only in this way can the country be stabilized, although the Dakang Sheji is full of holes, but the most urgent thing is not money and grain and grass, but the confidence of the subjects in you, only to restore their confidence, in order to unite the people of Dakang, in order to lead Dakang out of the quagmire. ”

Qiqi's nose was sour, and it was not easy to suppress the urge to cry, she still had a lot of suspicions and incomprehensions about Long Xuanen before, but today she understood his hard work, he was using another way to help himself and help Dakang.

Long Xuanen said: "Fortunately, Hong Beimo is not very interested in state affairs, and he is not as keen on power as Ji Feihua, Qiqi, I believe that you will be able to lead Dakang out of the predicament." ”

Qiqi said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Xu family in Jinling refused your request to borrow grain. ”

Hearing this, Long Xuanen's two gray eyebrows were twisted together, and two cold murderous intentions burst out from his deep eyes: "Mrs. Xu really thought that I didn't dare to touch her, and she actually ignored my request, this time I must give her some color." ”

Qiqi said: "But Qiqi heard another thing, the reason why the Xu family in Jinling refused your request was because they did not dare to offend other countries because of this, if the Xu family openly agreed, they were afraid that they would attract retaliation, and their business names were all over the world, and they were likely to be dealt a fatal blow." ”

Long Xuanen said coldly: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, the Xu family is also the people of Dakang, and when the country is in crisis, they still think about their own selfish interests, what is the use of keeping such a clan?" ”

Qiqi said: "In fact, they openly refused just to act in front of the world, and they have pointed out a path behind their backs." ”

Long Xuanen was slightly stunned: "You mean they plan to help each other secretly?" ”

Qiqi nodded: "Your Majesty, it must be done in secret at this time, and it must not be known to too many people, otherwise not only will the Xu clan be retaliated against, but this passage is likely to be cut off by the enemy country in advance." She whispered what Hu Xiaotian told her about it, although Hu Xiaotian had specially instructed her not to tell the emperor about it, but looking at the shape in front of her, she had to say this thing in order to make the emperor angry.

Long Xuanen nodded: "He wants to go to Luo Song in person?" Aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to leave and never come back? "What Long Xuanen thought of was also what Qiqi was most worried about, Hu Xiaotian was by no means a guy who kept to himself, if he relaxed his vigilance, this kid didn't know what tricks he would do.

Qiqi said: "I also think so, but since it is this trade route provided by the Xu family, if we don't let the Hu family go, I'm afraid that the Xu family will be suspicious of this and may not be willing to cooperate." ”

Long Xuanen said: "Then let Hu Buwei go, leave his wife and son in Kangdu, forgive him and don't dare to make any tricks." ”

Qiqi said: "This matter should not be too big, I have already thought about it, I have to mobilize some ships from several major sailors, gather at the designated place, and only say that they will go to sea to sweep away the pirates and quell the chaos, and then announce the purpose of their trip when they reach the destination." If it is exposed too early, I am afraid that it will be destroyed by the enemy. ”

Long Xuan'en said: "You can do this matter, I will do my best to remove obstacles for you." ”

Qiqi said: "The 50,000 laborers fled to Xingzhou, in my opinion, it is better to let them enter Xingzhou, Xingzhou generation of natural disasters continue, Li Guangbi himself is also facing the crisis of food shortage, it is impossible to afford these 50,000 people, if he takes in these 50,000 laborers, I am afraid that Xingzhou will be in chaos from within." As long as they send troops to block their passage to the east and south, in order to survive, they can only go west to the north, one on both sides belongs to Dayong, and the other is within the actual control of Xichuan, Dakang has no food to grab, they can only choose to look for life in these two places. ”

Long Xuanen said: "You tell Su Yuchi what you mean, and let him act according to your orders." ”
