Chapter 620 The Battle of the Grain Warehouse 1
"Hahaha..., happy, so happy, I've never been so happy, hahaha..."
After most of the day's response, not only have all the predetermined strategic goals have been achieved, but also knocked down a pawn guard who is dedicated. This kind of harvest is not small. Previously, Gao Zong and others were present. Even though Li Xian was excited, he did not dare to perform too much. When he had to send him away the banquet, Li Xianke didn't want to put up with it anymore. When he entered the study, he couldn't help laughing proudly.
"Congratulations, Your Highness."
Although Zhang Jianzhi was not suitable enough to participate in the previous banquet, he had already known the whole process of the matter. However, he was obviously not as excited as Li Xian, and his words were full of perfunctory meaning.
"Huh? Does your husband think there are any omissions?
As soon as he heard that Zhang Jianzhi's tone was wrong, Li Xiandeng couldn't laugh any more. He looked at Zhang Jianzhi suspiciously and asked questions tentatively.
"Grainary!"
Zhang Jianzhi didn't talk much nonsense and spit out two words with a solemn face.
"Huh? Well..."
Li Xian was stunned at first when he heard the words, but he soon woke up. There was a flash in his eyes, and a murderous atmosphere suddenly burst out, but he did not make a decision immediately, but meditated thoughtfully...
"Mother, the man in the east is too rampant. This wind can't last long!"
"Yes, Madam, I think this is his conspiracy to seize power, and he has to be hit head-on."
"Yes, what the Wu Shilang said is very true. That wolf's ambition can't give him a chance to rise up. Otherwise, the thousand-mile embankment may be destroyed in the ant nest!"
......
At the other end of the East Palace is a school of joy, and Queen Wu, who suffered a few big losses, was not happy. After accompanying Gao Zong and turning back to the palace, Queen Wu turned around and summoned several absolute confidants such as Wu Chengsi and Ming Chongyan to the study of Deyang Hall to discuss the way to deal with it. A group of people were very enthusiastic about their speeches, only However, it was all nonsense to vent sullen, which had no practical meaning at all, which made Wu Hou frown wildly.
"Chong Yu, what do you think of this situation?"
Queen Wu listened quietly for a long time. Seeing that all kinds of people could not put forward constructive opinions, the disappointment in her heart was inevitable, but it was not easy to come out on the spot. This turned her eyes to Ming Chongyan, who had always been silent, and asked with expectation.
"In the words of the Empress, Weichen thought that what the public said was very true. Once he was let him gain power, he would suffer a lot later. If he didn't plan early, he would be afraid it would be difficult to control, and he had to break his thoughts from the root!"
Ming Chongyan and Li Xian had a lot of old grievances, and they couldn't see Li Xian's power. After he had learned what had happened in the East Palace from Jia Chaoyin's mouth, he had already been cruel. The reason why he kept silent just just was his self-confident, and he disdained to shout with the children of Wu. As soon as he heard Wu Hou's question, he would not hide much more, but when he saw a flash of resentment in his eyes, he had already calmly reported.
"Hmm?"
As soon as he heard Ming Chongyan's words, there was a trace of fine light in Wuhou's eyes, but he did not ask what was going on, but raised his eyebrows and whispered quietly.
"Mother Mingjian, that person dares to be so arrogant is in the food. If there is no food, there is no room for it to be arrogant. Therefore, Weichen thinks it is appropriate to start here."
Although the Empress Wu did not speak, Ming Chongzhen heard the encouragement in the humming, which smiled confidently and further clarified his own ideas, but still did not put out the specific implementation methods and instructions.
"D. Ming, the grain is under control in the hands of 'Deng Ji Company' at the time. If you want to make it, I'm afraid it's not so easy?"
Zhu Wudu vaguely knew that the relationship between Ming Chongyan and Empress Wu was unusual. Even if they had the desire to compete for favor, they did not dare to show it in front of Empress Wu. They could only listen silently, but Jia Chaoyin did not have that scruples. He thought that his position in the court was far above Ming Chongyan, and Ming Chongyan had always been It was extremely unpleasant. At this time, when he saw that Ming Chongyan was full of self-confidence, he couldn't help but have a taste in his heart, so he said something from the side.
"Ha ha."
It has always been relative whether it is pleasing to the eye or not. Jia Chaoyin is unhappy with Ming Chongyan. Ming Chongyan also looks down on Jia Chaoyin, who is incompetent, and does not bother to explain more to him. He just sneered disdainfully and made a response.
"Ming doctor, government affairs are not a joke, you..."
Jia Chaoyin is also one of the seven prime ministers today. Although the ranking is only the second from the bottom, it is an indisputable fact that he can't tolerate such a five-class official as Ming Chongyan to despise himself. When he saw Ming Chongyan's reaction like this, he was furious, and he had to make a good argument with his face. Last time.
"Enough, I'm tired. Let's all retreat."
Although Jia Chaoyin doesn't have much ability, he is better than being obedient. This is also the reason why Empress Wu arched her to the high position of the prime minister with one hand. Although her status in the eyes of Queen Wu is far less than that of Ming Chongyan, she is not a pawn that can be easily given up. She doesn't want to see him and Ming Chongyan make too much trouble and look at the two. When the conflict was about to rise, Empress Wu immediately raised her hand and stopped Jia Chaoyin's angry words.
"No, I'm leaving."
Since Queen Wu had issued an eviction order, all the people did not dare to delay any longer. Although they were full of doubts, no one dared to say more words, so they could only bow down and resign.
"Chong-Yan stayed, and I have something to ask."
A group of people just walked to the door of the study, but the voice of Queen Wu came from behind.
"No!"
As for the retention of the Queen of Wu, Ming Chong Yan obviously knew it for a long time, and he was not very surprised. He answered calmly, turned around freely, and returned to his original position. When everyone saw this, their faces could not help but change. However, under the prestige of Queen Wu, no one dared to be very dissatisfied. No matter how delicious it is in your heart, you can only silently withdraw from the room.
"Chongyan, although Jia Xiang is a little mediocre, but after all, it is Zaifu in the current dynasty. The respect that should be on the surface is still indispensable. If you can make it, you can make way."
After everyone went, Wu Hou's tight face softened in an instant. Not only that, there was also a faint blush on her face. At first glance, she was like a little girl who had just opened her love, and her tone of voice was much softer.
"Chong Yu knows."
Ming Chong was very arrogant. Even in the face of the gentle persuasion of the Wuhou, he refused to bow his head and admit his mistake, but answered vaguely.
"That's all. I just say it. If you listen to it, you will listen. If you don't listen to me, you won't force it."
For Ming Chongyan, Queen Wu only had infinite love and pity. Seeing that he refused to bow to Jia Chaoyin, Queen Wu was reluctant to blame him. She could only shake her head helplessly and reveal the matter in a light sentence.
"The Empress, Chongyi..."
The meaning of spoiling in Queen Wu's words was so strong that Ming Chongyan didn't know what to say for a while. After a few sounds, a handsome and demon-like face turned red.
"Let's not talk about this. The root breaking mentioned by Chongyan before sounds quite interesting, but I don't know where to start."
Ming Chongyan is known as "the most beautiful man in the Tang Dynasty". His image is very handsome and elegant. At this time, his handsome face is red, and he has a unique flavor. He directly calls the Empress Wu to see that her body is very hot. However, after all, the Empress Wu is the Empress of Wu. The private feelings of men and women are always just condiments in their minds. Compared with the beauty in front of them. After dinner, Queen Wu was more concerned about the gains and losses of power in her hand. After appreciating Ming Chongyu, she quickly turned her mind back to the topic.
"It's good for the Empress to know that Weichen has carefully calculated the amount of disaster relief and found an interesting thing. That is, it is difficult to spend the arrival of the grain that the man has until the arrival of the follow-up grain. Even if it can't be saved, there must be a two-day shortage of food. If you can start to deploy it here, there will be a lot. What you get."
There was no one else in the study. Ming Chongyan did not need to be cautious, so he lifted the card away with a smile.
"Well, what is Chongyan going to do?"
The drum does not need to be hammered. With the wisdom of the queen of martial arts, he had a decision, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision, but nodded thoughtfully and then asked.
"The Empress is clear and deceitful. She thinks that she has already had a way to deal with it. However, according to Chongyan's point of view, in fact, there is only one way to go. That is, to find various families to buy grain in order to deal with the support. The Empress can make a clear edict, saying that the court is for disaster relief, and the grain inventory is insufficient, and it is clearly ordered to collect grain from major families. In this way, even if each family has food in hand, they will never dare to sell it to him privately. This is the way to draw money from the bottom of the pot.
Ming Chongyan's eyes flashed fiercely and gave an extremely fierce suggestion - the collection of grain is not the purchase of grain. The court collected grain in the name of righteousness, which only gave some insignificant compensation, which was not worth one-third of the current grain price. In the face of this situation, they are all members of meritorious families who will not do it easily. Fan, if you have grain in hand, you will not be able to take advantage of the court. In this way, it has become the only choice for all families to say that there is no grain to sell. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to buy grain on the other side of the East Palace. The reason is very simple. All families understand people, and how can they be involved in the fierce competition between Queen Wu and the prince for no reason? Even if you have grain in hand, you will never dare to sell it to Li Xian privately. Otherwise, once the Wuhou side is tracked down, won't it be a lot of fun?
"Okay, I will write this edict early tomorrow morning!"
This is what Queen Wu thought about. At this time, when she heard such a suggestion from Ming Chong, she would not object, so she smiled coldly and agreed to Ming Chongjian's proposal with great pleasure.
"This alone is not enough to curb the wolf's ambition. You have to focus on the other side to achieve the effect of breaking the root."
Ming Chongyan's hatred for Li Xian was extremely big. He wanted to put Li Xian to death quickly, but he didn't even want to leave Li Xian at all. Even if Queen Wu had made a decision, he refused to be satisfied and gritted his teeth and said again.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Queen Wu couldn't help but be stunned. She looked at Ming Chongyan suspiciously and couldn't help frowning slightly...
