I think a person as smart as Gu Xilin will never let himself suffer a loss.
The old lady closed her eyes, closed her hands together, muttering: “God bless you, I must make the general’s mansion auspicious person and heavenly appearance.”
…
At this moment, there was a deep breath in the palace, and even the air was filled with a dead silence.
The civil servants and generals under the dragon chaise undoubtedly lowered their heads and did not even dare to let out their vigor.
“You bunch of waste! What’s the use of I raising you?” The emperor slapped the dragon throne in anger, and everyone lowered their heads three points again.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xiaoliang, who should have been the happiest, also had a slightly dark face at this moment, but he still had to do what he should do. Seeing this, he bowed and said, “Don’t calm down. The 300,000 yuan of food and wages will not disappear out of thin air. As long as someone is sent to search carefully, you will definitely find clues.”
Ha, clues? The 300,000 yuan of food and wages had already turned into ashes in a sea of fire, and where could clues come from?
The emperor glanced at the son he had always loved the most, his expression calmed down a little, and snorted coldly: “I’m afraid that when I found the food and pay, the soldiers in the border would have been out of ammunition and food.”
No one dared to speak or persuade him. What the emperor said was not a guess, but a fact.
Although people can be sent to search, it will take some time to find it.
However, the grain storage in the border is definitely not enough to support so many days. The treasury for this time was empty, and the second 300,000 yuan could not be obtained for a moment.
As if he suddenly thought of something, the emperor suddenly looked at Gu Xiaoliang: “The third brother.”
Gu Xiaoliang pursed his lips, feeling an ominous feeling in his heart, but he still bowed and replied, “My son is here.”
“I seem to have heard from you that Ning Weishifu is interested in donating food?”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden change in the hall, and a subtle discussion came out.
The Ning Mansion is rich enough to rival a country. Everyone in Nanyue knows that in fact, there is a case of robbery of food and wages. Not that no one has ever thought of donating grain. However, how rich and powerful the Ning Mansion is, after all, it is their own business. We can’t force others to spend all their money to donate grain.
But now Gu Xiaoliang said that Ning Mansion was willing to take the initiative to resolve the crisis. Suddenly, many old ministers in the hall showed admiration for Gu Xiaoliang.
Faced with such a scene, Gu Xiaoliang pursed his lips, and his eyebrows were full of murder. All of this was planned by him. He should have stood here happily to accept the praise, but who knew… Who knew…
After a while, he finally said with difficulty: “Father, the Ning Mansion had this intention, but somehow, the granary suddenly caught fire a few days ago, and the servants in the mansion failed to save it immediately.Now
Xia Ning Mansion… has been seriously damaged. “
If Gu Xiaoliang said this on weekdays, it would be understandable, but at this critical moment, his words were not credible. Besides, he had thought that it was very involved at this time and had been deliberately suppressed by Ning’s mansion. Except for the people in the mansion, everyone outside knew it.
His temporary change of mind at this moment would only make the emperor think that his righteousness was just pretending.
How could Gu Xiaoliang not know the interests in this? But now, to be honest, it is the best way out.
