One Step to The End: 1266 Grandfather Prince

"Yin Zhiping! Rebellion is not your business, just touch your tongue..."

The old emperor said with a gloomy face: "Let's not talk about the restless Tubo for the time being, just talk about the Jiedu envoy of Nanzhao, you know his relationship with me, if you don't have real evidence, then say that he rebelled and killed you. The head is cheap for you!"

"I don't have to know about his relationship with you, I only speak with facts..."

Under the watchful eyes of the public, Zhao Guanren said loudly: "Datang controls pig iron and ore materials. Under normal circumstances, there will be no sharp rises and falls, but iron materials have soared five times within six months. Salt, buy iron materials to make pots, but the price of salt does not fall but rises, why?"

"Huh?"

The officials glanced at each other, and the old emperor also became serious.

"Second! The prices of tendon, leather, silk, hemp, and tung oil are also rising, and almost all of them go to Nanzhao..."

Zhao Guanren continued: "The crops produced by Tubo continued to decrease for nearly a year, but the amount of salt used increased sharply half a year ago, and there was also Tubo gold on the market, indicating that Tubo was hoarding military rations, and even took out the coffin book. It's out, but there's more to it!"

The old emperor asked anxiously: "What is it? Tell me quickly!"

"Someone ordered 50,000 copies of the fire and life-sustaining pills produced by Zhenmo Division..."

Zhao Guanren said with a chuckle: "The orderers are traders from Nanzhao and Tubo. They also purchased the medicinal materials for knife wound medicine separately. These are all proper military supplies, and they are transported to high-risk areas in such a concentrated manner. Do you still use it to eat when you rebel?"

“…”

The frowning officials were silent, but King Ning said, "You are just guessing. How can you convict them without real evidence?"

"What evidence do you want, is Longyou Jiedushi's crazy hint enough..."

Zhao Guanren said with disdain: "The army of Longyou is defending the front and the back, this is telling you by action, Your Majesty! Someone in the back of our **** wants to rebel, but Wei Chen can't produce any evidence, and they will say that I slandered and falsely accused me. Looking at my coquettish posture, is it obvious enough?"

“Poof~”

A princess couldn't help laughing out loud, and the old emperor glared at her immediately, frowning and said, "You are still guessing for a long time, such as Zhu Fan's arrogance and arrogance today, Longyou Jiedu's stunned tortoise, you How can I be sure that they are not self-respecting, even self-reliant kings?"

"The power of Jiedushi is too great, but this is not a human problem, but the binding force of the position is too low, and you will be suspicious of your own son..."

Zhao Guanren said: "The people who say that Longyou wants to stand on their own are either stupid or bad. Once they send troops to attack Tianzhu Asan, Persia and Dashi will follow the wind. The right army is bound to be defeated, and let me fall to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Alarmist!"

An old general from the Ministry of Military Affairs stepped forward and refuted: "I have more than one army in Longyou in the Tang Dynasty. Only the army in Jiannan can suppress the rebellion of Tubo. There are 150,000 troops in Jiangnan Road, as long as they If they dare to rebel, they will be confiscated and wiped out!"

"Old man! Fighting is about fighting power. Ten thousand elite soldiers can kill a hundred thousand peasant troops. Rebellion is no better than eating imperial food.

Zhao Guanren said with a contemptuous smile: "The Tang soldiers are all in Longyou and the Western Regions, it would be good if the young master Jiannan's soldiers did not run away, and the Nanzhao army would definitely go by sea, you can ask any coastal merchant, There are no more than ten warships in the Tang Dynasty that can go to sea, and the rest are on empty pay!"

"So serious? But really..."

The old emperor suddenly took two steps forward, and the old general was stunned for a moment, then stomped his feet and said, "It's impossible! I think he's going to die and he's going to talk about it. Nanzhao is a well-mannered envoy, and he's playing it every month. Please be safe, there are a lot of boxing gifts, how can you become a rebel?"

"Hey? People are paying tribute, how do you know that they won't give you a copy every month..."

Zhao Guanren said with a wicked smile: "Don't argue! Let's make a bet. The emperor only needs to issue an imperial decree and find any reason for him to lead the army to Tibet. He just said that the army's salaries and provisions will come later. If he obeys /

I will jump from here, if you don't follow the order, you will jump, dare you? "

"Why don't you dare? This general is afraid that you won't succeed..."

The old general glared at him aggressively, but Zhao Guanren laughed again: "Okay! Let's all make a bet together, bet on who will win with the old general, just let the emperor as a reference, you can enter the house and make a bet privately. Note, put everyone's heart out, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Play!"

The old emperor waved his hand and sat down, and Zhao Guanren asked the guards to remove the shackles, ran to get two deep wooden barrels, put them in the room and drew a line, standing outside the line to let everyone one by one To bet money, bet on the left for rebels, and on the right for non-rebels.

"Don't cross the line to peek, one bet per person, the left is treacherous, the right is stable, one loses ten..."

Zhao Guanren stood at the door and faced the crowd. Fifty or sixty people whispered for a while. Finally, at the urging of the old emperor, they lined up to enter. When one entered, the door was closed immediately. , It took more than twenty minutes to end.

"The sky is above! The emperor testifies! We will now begin to reveal the cup..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hand and asked the guard to bring out the barrel. The barrel had already been marked, and everyone was staring at the barrel. The old general stood up nervously and clenched his fists hard. He accidentally burst a blood vessel.

"Wow~"

The unrebellious wooden barrel was violently overturned, everyone's eyeballs burst, and the old emperor jumped up with a bang, and the old general fell back and sat back, his face pale and said. : "How could this be, how could he rebel?"

"Haha~ This is the real heart, all the **** on the table..."

Zhao Guanren stepped forward with a smile and overturned his bucket, and a large amount of gold and silver was dumped in an instant, but the old general only had a dozen silver ingots, not even a single gold item.

"What a Nanzhao Jiedushi, a two-faced dog thing..."

The old emperor slammed the tea table, and the sturdy tea table was torn apart instantly, causing Zhao Guanren's brows to jump slightly. I didn't expect the old emperor himself to be a master, and the cultivation base exposed by this palm, there is no one rank The realm simply can't do it.

"Your Majesty! It's not long after the autumn harvest, so it's still too late to provoke..."

Zhao Guanren stepped forward and said: "You just said what the Nanzhao Jiedushi said, the little king of Tubo wants to rebel, reward him with a bunch of things and let him take the lead, and at the same time order the Longyou army to divide his troops to attack, so as to make their dog bite the dog. , I can also test out whether the Longyou Army is loyal or traitor!"

“…”

The old emperor's palace was quite deep, and he looked left and right in deep thought. King Yujiang immediately knelt down with his fists folded, and shouted loudly, "Father! This plan is feasible. My son is willing to lead an army to Nanzhao and watch it for you. If there is any change, I will cut off his head with my own hands!”

"Your Majesty! My son and minister are also willing to go to..."

The princes knelt down and asked for orders. This was a rare opportunity to take command of the army. Even Prince Ji knelt down, but the old emperor suddenly said: "Yin Zhiping! You are not an ordinary person, you are willing to Go to Nanzhao for me to fight, and make merit by committing crimes?"

'Fuck! This old emperor is so scheming, he is still trying me...'

Zhao Guanren scolded inwardly, cupped his hands and smiled bitterly: "Yin has never led an army, and he doesn't know how to arrange an army. Besides, I don't want to lead an army, it's not worth it!"

"Why do you say this?"

"Nowadays corruption is rampant among the officials, and the mages are usually corpses, and they are still calculating each other when they die. This makes me unable to trust anyone..."

Zhao Guanren straightened his back and said: "I can only make money myself, arm the demon masters to fight against the demon clan, I didn't have a penny to fill my personal pockets, but in the end I became a prisoner, and I was disheartened. If your majesty still reads If I have toiled a little, then let me go back to the mountains!"

"I know you've been wronged, but you can't just give up..."

The old emperor waved his hand and said: "No matter what your previous plan was, the Zhenmo Division has become a mess. If you don't help me to solve it, it is the common people who suffer. Whatever you need, feel free to mention it. I will try my best to help you with the one thing, okay?"

"Yin Mou lent seeds to the Crown Princess, and Xuan Yi was also killed by Long Zi, but I can't tell..."

Zhao Guanren cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty! I have no shame in Luoyang City, you appoint a smart person to me, I will bring him out within half a year, and give you a magician who is making gold every day, and I only ask you One thing, let Yin return to the forest after the matter is over and ask the immortals to ask!"

"Cowardly! You are deserters..."

The old emperor stood up and said: "When I was the crown prince, how many rumors slandered me, I haven't come through with gritted teeth, I can't let you pick your son, you are a meritorious minister, I want to reward you You, you will be promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the fourth grade, and the title of Luoning County Boss, which can be hereditary!"

"Huh?"

Zhao Guanren was suddenly stunned, and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty were also stunned. The prisoner was suddenly promoted, and he was awarded a title. Although he was only a third-class earl, he was considered a nobleman.

"You are all for the Tang Dynasty, I can't treat you badly, and don't let me down..."

The old emperor smiled and said: "The workshop of the Demon Suppression Division has been changed to an official building, and you will be the supervisor of the building. The new Demon Suppressing Envoy will be in charge of the building, and it will belong to you. This is your deserved reward. However, if you borrowed the seeds from the crown princess without authorization, and made the royal face disgrace, I have to punish you!"

"Uh~ the minister receives the punishment..."

"Okay! Listen to me..."

The old emperor said with a serious look: "Since the crown prince has an affair with you, she will divorce the prince from now on, send it back out of the palace, I will give her a marriage to you, and get married in three days. Wife, after marriage, your husband and wife fasted for Xuan Daoist for ten days, and regretted it before spiritually!"

"cough cough..."

One vote of the prince coughed violently, and the civil and military ministers were even more shocked. Even the crown prince was dumbfounded, and Zhao Guanren was also surprised: "You want me to marry, marry the crown prince as my wife?"

"Father! This, how can this be done? The Crown Princess is my wife..."

Prince Ji suddenly became anxious. Seeing that the prince's family was "rehabilitated", his wife became extremely important, not to mention wearing a green hat, even if the prince asked Zhao Guanren to live in the East Palace, as long as he didn't He dared to promise marriage.

"Are you not ashamed enough..."

The old emperor scolded: "You are useless and have the face to say, you go to Zhao's house to ask, your ex-wife has already successfully borrowed seeds, and she became pregnant once, and you are a dignified prince, and you still want to support others. Children?"

'I'm going! This old dog is really bad...'

Zhao Guanren suddenly reacted, no wonder he wanted to give him an official promotion. It turned out to be to make the crown princess feel good. She beat the Zhao family and sold her favor, and made him false, even the bad handsome was dismissed. , can only earn money for the court obediently.

"Your Majesty! The old minister has a very unpleasant advice, don't spit it out..."

Zuo Xiangye suddenly knelt down and said with grief: "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, no descendant is the greatest! The crown princess can succeed by borrowing one seed. Obviously, something is wrong with the crown prince's body. Lord, the Li family will cut off the incense, please appoint another prince!"

"What the left minister said is very true, how can you be a prince without a queen..."

"It's just..."

A vote of officials echoed, and the eyes of the seven princes lit up, and Prince Ji said anxiously: "Bengong's body is fine, I just don't want the prince to be pregnant with the dragon seed, my side concubine already has I'm pregnant, if you don't believe me, go ask the imperial doctor!"

"You bastard! Talk nonsense, take him to the Meditation Pavilion, and ban him for a month..."

The old emperor waved his hand heavily, and the guards immediately dragged Prince Ji away. Prince Ji's tears came out anxiously, but the old emperor made up for it again: "All Aiqings, please be pacified, I will be careful about deposing. Think about it, you seven princes should also work hard!"

'Nima! This is a maggot in the belly button - it's so bad...'

Zhao Guanren cursed again, and finally felt that the old dog was an opponent. In fact, he had already heard Chen Guangda say that the prince was ordered by the old emperor to deliberately prevent the princess from getting pregnant, but who would have thought that this It's also what he gave the prince...
