The Young Master Is Fierce Chapter 1082: The mood of autumn
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
On August 15th of the first year of Daxia, the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were only five days left before Ning Yuchun's meeting of officials from three prefectures and twelve states was scheduled to be held on August 20th.
The roster selected by Chen Baiqiu, the former Liao official minister, is already in the hands of Ning Yuchun, but except Chen Baiqiu and Ning Yuchun, no one knows the names of the people in this roster——
If there is no name left in this list, it means that you will be eliminated from the game, and you will no longer have any chance to be associated with the officialdom of Great Xia, and may even face liquidation.
Ning Yuchun has not changed the official hierarchy of the Liao Dynasty so far. He is waiting for August 20th.
That day will be a new beginning for Far North Road, some officials will usher in a new life, and more officials will go into darkness, which naturally includes the officials in the Dading Palace.
Song Kaiming, the Minister of the Ministry of War, has been uneasy these days, because although he still bears the title of the Minister of the Ministry of War, in fact, his power was deprived of power the day Dading Mansion broke through the city.
The city defenders of Dading Prefecture are in the hands of Daotai Ning Yuchun, and the 10,000 Daxia Army stationed outside Dading Prefecture are also in the hands of Ning Yuchun.
This is of course an extremely bad sign. As an old man who once belonged to the prince's party, and now the prince is in prison, it is the second prince Yelvshu who has done anything for his surrender!
Although Yelvshu does not have half of the power, he still lives in the palace and is still free. It seems that he is waiting for the arrival of the Emperor of Daxia to make arrangements for him.
The Emperor of Daxia is coming to Dading Mansion. Although he is walking very slowly, he is getting closer and closer to Dading Mansion.
Song Mansion, Song Kaiming stood in the courtyard and looked at the bright moon, but his heart could not be at peace - he was like a turtle in an urn, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to get out, but he was surrounded by high walls.
I know what I have done, and the military pay that was deducted and corrupted is hidden in the cellar, and there is a cellar full of it.
It was originally prepared for the prince after he usurped the throne, but now that the prince has become a prisoner, so much gold and silver has now become a hot potato - the city gate is heavily guarded, and it is impossible to sneak it out.
If someone leaks the news or sues him for the sake of his future... then I am afraid that he will become the prince's neighbor immediately!
What should I do?
The bustling Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years was stopped today by his loud scolding. Those wives and concubines were so big-hearted. Everything has changed, and none of them knew whether it was warm or cold. Hey...!
"Go and call the butler for me!"
He walked into the pavilion and cooked a pot of tea. Now he had to find a way to survive no matter what. If he couldn't survive...then he had to find a way to survive for his children and grandchildren no matter what.
Cao He is his chief steward and his most trustworthy chief aide. He wants to ask Cao He how to break this fatal situation.
The chief steward Cao He came over in a hurry. As an old steward of the Song Dynasty, he certainly understood that the day had changed and the rain might fall on the master's head.
"Master."
"Sit!"
"Thank you, Master!"
"Cao He, in the current situation, I think that all the soldiers, horses, and artillery will be intact...is it possible?"
Cao He frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "The opponent's chariots, horses and artillery have already crossed the river, and they have the best chess game. It seems that they have not lost a pawn, but in fact they can capture the king at any time."
Song Kaiming frowned slightly and poured a cup of tea for Cao He, "I have lost my carriage, horse and artillery, can I ask for peace?"
"The other party clearly has the overall situation but does not provoke it... I thought maybe I was waiting for the master to take the initiative to sue for peace."
"So...it's feasible?"
"Now there is no other way but to try."
"What if the other party doesn't seek peace?"
Cao He stood up and bowed, "This chessboard cannot be overturned. If the other party does not seek peace... Master, please pray for peace for the young master and the young master Sun."
"How did Dong Ziguan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, play this game?"
"Go back to the master, Dong Ziguan left the door this evening. He went to the imperial city and has not returned yet."
Song Kaiming frowned, "This old man... what should I do now?"
Cao He was silent for a few breaths, "I thought that I could use the things in the basement, plus... the evidence of more than 1,800 officials from the old Liao Dynasty who were secretly loyal to the prince, to seek help for his children and grandchildren. A way out."
Song Kaiming's pupils shrank and his heart tightened. There were more than four million taels of gold and silver in the basement! Do you have to add those 1,800 lives in order to buy a way for your children and grandchildren?
"Is this too much of a bargaining chip?"
"Master, all of this can be pinned on the prince's head. I shouldn't say this... Master, I'm afraid someone has already read many books in front of Naning Daotai. If the bargaining chip is not big, How can I get some extra favor from Ning Daotai?"
Song Kaiming took a deep breath, stood up slowly, and walked back and forth dozens of times with his hands behind his back.
The money that I have worked hard for decades and tried every means to get is used to make wedding clothes for others!
He raised his head and looked at the bright moon and let out a long sigh, "If I had known this today, why bother in the beginning."
"Prepare your horses and get the roster. I have to go to the palace to spend this Mid-Autumn Festival with Master Daotai!"
……
……
The capital of Wansheng Prefecture.
Fu Xiaoguan and his party have arrived here for two days. Naturally, the prefect Qian was dismissed by Fu Xiaoguan and thrown into prison.
This is a huge thing that shocked Wansheng City!
When the notice was posted, the people in Wansheng City rushed to tell each other and actually cried with joy!
"Master Qingtian is here!"
"God finally opened his eyes! That dog's millions of dollars finally got his comeuppance!"
"I heard that it was the imperial envoy sent by the Emperor of Great Xia, specifically to deal with these corrupt officials!"
"Really? That's enough for him to deal with. If he can deal with all those corrupt officials... I'm afraid not many officials in the Far North Road can safely go ashore."
"No matter what, this is a good thing. Kill more corrupt officials and punish the nine tribes! Let the officials be afraid to the core, so that the succeeding officials will not dare to do evil!"
"Haha, don't think too brightly. Once the emperor and his courtiers, the three fires of this new official will be burning brightly. How long will it last? Let's see the effects!"
"..."
The common people naturally have mixed opinions about this. While they applaud the fact that officials with millions of dollars were sent to jail, they also feel hesitant and confused about the future.
After all, this is not something they can control. It will eventually fall on the Emperor of Great Xia.
"If the Emperor of Daxia is wise... I am afraid that the common people like us will live a good life."
Fu Xiaoguan raised his glass and looked at the moon. After listening to the report of the Tianji Pavilion spies, he smiled brightly and said, "This is a good thing. At least they dare to question it. It is a pity that they dare not supervise."
"So every official represents the image of Daxia. A mouse dropping can really ruin a pot of porridge."
"Tianji Pavilion and Yuli Tai must strengthen the supervision of officials, but this is not the best policy."
Qin Bingzhong raised his head and asked: "What is the best policy?"
"The best policy is to remove the cage in the minds of the people and let the people supervise it!"
