The second thousand three hundred and twenty-seventh chapters of the battle for the capital (sixteen)

That night, west of Chang'an Street.

Xu Xiangfu.

Xu Fuyuan kept squeezing his frown brow with his right hand.

Zhang Dai, the Minister of Personnel, said with a gloomy face, "It seems... Your Majesty is probably determined to be Shuntian Mansion in his heart!"

Tan Qian, the Minister of Rites, snorted coldly, "Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart!"

These words made Xu Fuyuan look up suddenly and sternly: "Rareless!"

This shout is indeed powerful!

More than ten officials present bowed their heads and stopped whining.

Xu Fuyuan glanced around and said coldly: "Today we are here, we are not discussing rebellion, but recklessness... If someone wants to be a rebel, forgive Xu for serving tea and seeing off guests!"

Tan Qian hurriedly raised his hand and clasped his fists, "Ge Lao Xu... the official was wrong for a moment, and he realized he was wrong!"

Xu Fuyuan's tone of surrender when he talked about Qian was relieved, and his tone was much more relaxed. "We seek to be honest and honest in the official position, and have integrity... For the sake of gain, we benefit our hometown, peace and stability in the people... Dukes, when my son is young today, it is the time when we are trying our best to support us, rather than pointing to the point, which will trigger confrontation between the king and the minister... Please be careful and keep some moral character. In this way, we will not fall into the reputation of our pure stream!"

"George!" Everyone present bowed.

Tan Qian hesitated for a moment and asked, "I dare to ask the Master of the Pavilion... How much manpower and material resources were spent on building a new city back then... Your Majesty issued the capital transfer edict not long ago, but it was easily changed after a while... Such orders were changed every day, which destroyed the reputation of Your Majesty and the court... As ministers, how could we sit down and watch Your Majesty walk to the darkness?"

Zhang Dai also said: "Even if you don't decide the capital of the new city, how many good sites in Jiangnan can be established... For example, Yingtian Prefecture, Hangzhou Prefecture, and even Ningbo Prefecture, Your Majesty ignored it and insisted on choosing a location for Shuntian Prefecture... Master, do you know that many people in Jiangnan have lost their families and their families because of the collapse of the land price in the new city. However, my colleagues and I argued with reason, and only exchanged for His Majesty to allow the brigade general to maintain the land price around 500 taels... This will force many people to death!"

Xu Fuyuan closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, and did not react at all to Zhang Dai and Tan Qian's words.

Tan Qian, Zhang Dai looked behind him and then touched his eyes.

Tan Qian said: "I hope the elders of the Pavilion should take the elders of Jiangnan as their thoughts and lead us into the palace and give us advice to Your Majesty again!"

Xu Fuyuan still didn't open his eyes, but said lightly, "Although Xu is a minister, he is not the chief minister... If you want to make a suggestion together, just find the chief minister again."

Zhang Dai said anxiously: "Although Mao Xiang is talented, he has experience and lacks qualifications, how can he compare with Mr. Xu?"

Tan Qian agreed and said, "After this incident, we all know that Mao Xiang is definitely not a person in my Taoism... Compared with Mr. Xu, Mao Pijiang is just a lucky minister!"

Xu Fuyuan slowly opened his eyes and scolded: "Don't be rude to the chief minister!"

Then, Xu Fuyuan glanced at everyone present and sighed: "Your Majesty has not issued an edict to move the capital to Shuntian Mansion. Why do you need to be impatient? Besides, Your Majesty also agreed to rescue the market. Why do you have to force each other? Is it a way to be a minister?"

Zhang Dai said anxiously: "But Your Majesty only allowed the brigade general to stabilize the land price at 500 taels... Is the cabinet master not aware that this price is to make countless colleagues lose their money?"

"How much did you borrow from Hanming Bank?" Xu Fuyuan asked suddenly.

Zhang Dai was stunned, raised his hand and sweared: "Zhang has never borrowed a tael of silver from Hanming Bank... All Zhang asked for it for his colleagues and his hometown in Beijing..."

Xu Fuyuan said with a slight look on his face, "Zongzi, Xu can trust your character... But some people are too greedy, no wonder Your Majesty takes his anger... In Xu's opinion, these people... take it upon themselves and let them go!"

This made everyone nervous.

Tan Qian said anxiously: "Gei Master, you can't say that... These people are all fellow men after all. Although they are a little greedy, they have not done anything that harms the heavens and the truth. Besides, as ministers in the same palace, we... can't let the death be saved, right?"

Zhang Dai also said to the accomplice: "Ge Lao, Brother Zong is right... Besides, even if you ignore the welfare of these colleagues, you cannot allow the Jiangnan family, gentry, and merchant gang to be destroyed... If the land price is maintained at 500 taels according to Your Majesty's wishes, I can guarantee that at most, these aristocratic families, gentry, and merchant gangs will be 300% unrestrained in March... The consequences of this will not only affect the Jiangnan chamber of commerce, but also cause the bad debts of Hanming Bank to increase rapidly... It is related to the safety of the country, and I hope the Gong Lao will plead for the people!"

"I hope Master Ge will lead us to ask for the people!" Everyone stood up and shouted.

"Oh..." Xu Fuyuan sighed, "You must put Xu's body on the fire and roast it!"

Speaking of this, Xu Fu stood up and walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back. "Actually, the matter is not as unbearable as you think... Zongzi, don't you also say that those people can hold on for three months... Since Your Majesty has allowed the rescue of the market and stabilized the land price at 500 taels, then just hold on first. It's not too late to discuss it after a few days!"

"If you can't hold on, Your Majesty insists on establishing the capital Shuntian Mansion and not allowing the court to raise the land price... How should we deal with it?"

Everyone's eyes were staring at Xu Fuyuan.

Xu Fuyuan grinned slightly, raised his head and let out a long sigh, and then said, "The second Northern Expedition is imminent, this is the most focused thing for His Majesty... What if the land price causes chaos in the people... Tsk tsk, how should the court ensure the huge amount of supplies needed for the Northern Expedition?"

Zhang Dai and Tan Qian looked at each other in surprise. They turned their heads and touched the eyes of the officials behind them, and then suddenly realized, "Geor Xu is indeed awesome!"

Xu Fuyuan's face was as usual, and he raised his hand and pressed it gently, and the room instantly became quiet.

"As for the matter of establishing the capital Shuntian Mansion... you don't have to worry. If the Second Northern Expedition is not going well, how could Your Majesty insist on moving the capital north?" Xu Fuyuan rubbed his short beard and sighed, "...Xu, I feel ashamed of Your Majesty!"

....

In the palace of spring and hey.

The Wu family father and son were drinking a drink.

"How will you deal with Xu Fuyuan and others?" Wu Bochang asked casually, muffled the wine in the wine glass.

Wu Zheng filled his father's glasses, sighed softly, and said, "The world is settled, and the people who are available are not accepted by the people. Xu Fuyuan, Zhang Dai, Tan Qian and others are actually not bad people. When the Qing Dynasty went south, these people were also people who firmly opposed the Qing Dynasty... they were just a little greedy."

"Greed?" Wu Bochang said to Wu Zheng with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you call forming cliques for personal gain a little greed?"

Wu Zheng sighed lightly: "The child just doesn't want to have the blood of these people on his hands!"

"Then let Song An do it!" Wu Bochang said in a deep voice, "Don't indulge in old age, otherwise, you will have to suffer a great problem... You also say that good people do bad things, the consequences are worse than bad people do bad things. Why... are you soft-hearted?"
