147 silver is a good thing

This Gu An is so hateful!

He either doesn't make a sound, stands in the court without making a sound for a month, and just sleeps, and sometimes even makes people ignore his existence, just like this person.

But when he spoke, a large number of officials dismounted, either beheaded and confiscated or exiled, and there were still many people.

The most annoying thing is that he has conclusive evidence and can't even refute it. He also brings a lot of wealth to the emperor. No matter how much money is, it is sent to the treasury and the emperor's private treasury, and he does not leave any of it for himself. He can't catch him if he wants to catch him.

Is there any court officials like him who are dedicated to the public and have no selfish intentions? There are, but there are too few, and the few are negligible. At least one has not yet reached his current position. Even the Taifu Wen has collected the ice and charcoal silver below. Although it is not ruled out that someone will give it to Gu An, they have not yet found it.

What made them most heart-wrenching was Gu An's acting skills. He could always close his eyes and rest when the emperor was not paying attention. When the emperor looked at him, he looked at him with a concentration and thoughtful look, and even expressed his views in time. The emperor could answer questions when he asked, and his colleagues asked questions without knowing it. He thought he was a fool, and his acting skills were the best.

And now he looked compassionate and heartbroken, as if he was so disappointed and heartbroken by Chang Yuanshan.

"Emperor, I am afraid, and I should not have participated in the royal affairs too much. But I really don't know what to do. Now the people in Yongzhou City are full of complaints, and they all think that it was the emperor instructed Lord Chang to do this, otherwise the emperor would never have been concerned for many years. Emperor, I think you are blinded by Changyuan Mountain..., so you must quickly explain this matter to the people, otherwise the people will be kept in the dark, which will arouse dissatisfaction and cause great trouble. Please think twice."

Gu An wiped his tears and looked at Emperor Wen of Wei with sympathy.

Emperor Wen of Wei almost made Gu An's eyes confused.

Damn it! I really want to throw a teacup over!

What kind of eyes are you looking at? I need you to sympathize with you? I don’t mean that you can find out these things? Do you really think you are a god?

Emperor Wen of Wei closed his eyes and looked at him lazy.

Well, because he has done another errand for me and the treasury has added a lot of gold and silver, I have accepted this look.

Isn't it just sympathy? It's okay. My relatives don't do anything to cause trouble for me, so they have to sympathize with me. They just happened to deal with the eldest son-in-law's younger brother, so that the emperor's sister would not come to make trouble with him, and he had no choice but to do so.

He was sympathized with by court officials, and he could not deal with his brother-in-law? Then why should I be this emperor? It would be better to abdicate and give way to the wise!

After Gu An finished crying, Emperor Wen of Wei came on stage again. In cooperation with Gu An's voice, he slapped the table and stood up, and pulled all the memorials on the table to the ground, and knelt down. Gu An had not yet gotten up, so he didn't have to kneel anymore, so he simply lay on the ground with his body.

"The Emperor calms down."

"Suppress my anger? How can I calm my anger? Tell me, how can I calm my anger? Is it just that a fiefdom actually leads to a borer, or a borer related to the royal family? Where does this put my face?"

When Gu An heard this, he immediately climbed forward twice, standing in the front two rows, and now he suddenly rushed to the front, kowtowed to Emperor Wen of Wei and said, "Emperor, Changyuanshan is not a royal family, it has nothing to do with the emperor! It's just that the younger brother of the prince consort is not worthy of being associated with the emperor? He is worthy of being worthy of it? What he does has nothing to do with the emperor. If he wants to calculate it like this, then the people in the world are still the emperor's people, and they can blame the emperor if they make mistakes? So, Changyuanshan has a corrupt virtue and has no good education at home, so it has nothing to do with the emperor.

In fact, the emperor should issue an order to denounce his parents, but his parents are old. If they don’t do this, they will die. Besides, the emperor has to think about the eldest princess if he doesn’t think about others! The eldest princess is the emperor’s own sister. If something happens to their two elders, the eldest princess, as a daughter-in-law, isn’t it easy to not serve him?

I guess the chief princess of today was also hidden in the dark, otherwise she would have reported it to the emperor and scolded him as soon as possible, and Lord Chang would not have done such an outrageous thing.

In short, this matter is still Chang Yuanshan’s short-sighted vision and greedy heart, and it has nothing to do with people.”

Gu An finally described the matter after talking for a long time. First, he advised the emperor that the matter had nothing to do with him and told him not to blame himself. Then he said that the matter was related to his parents' education and indirectly proved that it had nothing to do with the emperor. Then he pointed out that the eldest princess was filial and could serve his mother-in-law at home. Of course, he listened to the in-laws's family. He said anything else. She didn't know, otherwise he would not have watched Chang Yuanshan commit a crime and would stop him in time. It can be said that the eldest princess was removed from this matter. Finally, it was concluded that Chang Yuanshan was filial and had nothing to do with others. No one had to blame himself or make trouble for him. A younger brother of the princess would not make the emperor embarrassed.

Gu An turned around and said all the good things, secretly praised the eldest princess, just to prevent the eldest princess from causing trouble for him in the later stage. It can be said that Gu An thought about everything and did nothing.

Gu An thought about it carefully and felt that nothing had been missed, so he lowered his head and lay on the ground without making a sound.

Gu An was honest, but the court officials felt that all the hearts and lungs were not painful.

OK! It’s your complaint, it’s your complaint, it’s your complaint, it’s your complaint, you’ve told us all the good and bad things, so you can leave some for us!

Too treacherous! Too shameless. He chased the emperor and flattered him. The flattery was all secretly fragrant. On the surface, he was for the country and the people, but in fact, the benefits were all in the emperor's pocket. Every time he killed a corrupt official, he would get a sum of money. Recently, the emperor has repeatedly plucked the national treasury and private treasury.

Emperor Wen of Wei secretly glanced at Gu An, feeling that he was becoming more and more pleasing to him. His daughter's reward was not given in vain, and indirectly gave him such a big surprise. Although the tax revenue in the next few years is gone, those things..., haha, I can't escape.

Emperor Wen of Wei sighed deeply and waved his hand helplessly, "Forget it, it's useless to say more, so let's talk about it. I will think about it carefully, even if you are talking freely."

Speaking of this, Emperor Wen of Wei glanced around for a few times, and his eyes swept Gu Anshi paused, and then jumped over him and swept away elsewhere.

Gu An knelt on the ground and looked frightened and frightened. Sweat dripped down his forehead. The sound of "clicking and clicking" kept coming, which made everyone feel a lot of hatred.

Bitch! He talks freely when flattering, but now he offended others and is scared like a coward. Okay, you have taken all the good things and throw them all the errands to us. Are you too treacherous?

I thought Gu An was a good person, but I didn’t expect that he was just an old fox! He was very easy to do in the wind, but when he came to the point, he did nothing!

Now the court officials Sensen doubted whether Gu An’s military achievements in the border were fake or whether someone had concealed them. Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to come to this point, an “incompetent” person!

No matter how everyone discussed it, Emperor Wen of Wei had the final say in how Chang Yuanshan would deal with it. In the end, Emperor Wen of Wei was heartbroken and reluctantly ordered people to capture Chang Yuanshan. At the same time, he brought back all the money Chang Yuanshan had embezzled over the years.

"That's it. Chang Yuanshan has been corruption a lot over the years. He is so brave! I haven't seen so much money yet! He has more money than me. Alas! This is good, and it's a good idea. The summer palace should be renovated long ago. I'm worried that there is no place to get the money. I happened to have a sum of money, so I'll transfer it to the palace. Our king and minister will stay in the palace for a few months next year."

How could the ministers disagree? Anyway, they don’t have to pay money and they can go to the summer vacation with the emperor, so why bother?

Long live the mountain here, but Gu An stopped doing it when he heard it, and pulled out his neck and said, "Your Majesty, you must not."

Emperor Wen of Wei was just talking happily, but was forcibly interrupted by Gu An, and his face looked a little unwilling. He glared at him with a cold face and asked, "Why can't it?"

Gu An replied: "Emperor, these greedy silvers are all the income of Changyuan Mountain exploiting the people, and they should return to the people. Yongzhou has made Changyuan Mountain misfortune in recent years. It can be said that there are so many things to be done. There are too many places to use silver. The people have not recovered from the suffering, and the taxes paid next year may not be too much, so naturally it will not be able to return to the past. Therefore, I ask the emperor to compassion for the suffering of the people, leave a part of the silver for building embankments, paving roads and bridges, building schools, and helping the people get out of poverty, so that they can feel grateful to the emperor and the Great Wei."

Emperor Wen of Wei couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Think he was stupid? Yongzhou has given him a reward to Gu Yan. No matter how well he manages Yongzhou now, it has nothing to do with him. All the credit is Gu Yan. As for the taxes next year, haha, what does it have to do with him? He can't get a single or two silver, and it has nothing to do with him as much as he collects, and it hasn't been completely in Gu Yan's pocket.

But this is impossible to say. It is impossible for people to say that he will bring his ministers to enjoy despite the suffering of the people, right? Although Yongzhou was granted to Gu Yan, the people living there are all the people of the Great Wei, and he would not care about it.

Emperor Wen of Wei was thinking about how to blame this matter, but the court officials stopped doing it.

"Mr. Gu is very calculating. He uses greedy silver to build bridges and roads for Princess Huairou. The benefits are all from your family, but the emperor asks him to pay for the money. Are you too cunning, right?"

"Mr. Gu said this badly. Yongzhou is also the land of the Great Wei Dynasty. People who live there are also the people of the Great Wei Dynasty. Although they should be helped, they cannot just hand over the greedy silver to the princess. If they do this, wouldn't it be a mess?"

"That's right, let's talk about it. The emperor has been working hard for the country and the people over the years. He has not eaten well and sleeped well every day. Is it impossible to build a garden after doing so much? Do you have to stop this?"

“Too much.”

"That's right, I don't understand the Emperor's difficulties at all."

....

Unmoved, Gu An simply climbed up from the ground and stood in front of the court officials, with a firm look and a solemn expression, "Emperor, the Great Wei Dynasty has been established for more than a hundred years, but the national treasury has not been rich. There are still many people in places who are still unable to eat and wear and tear. If all the money is used for the people, to purchase seedlings, and to pave bridges and roads, what will happen?

The palace only goes in June, July and August every year, and only stays for three months a year, but it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to repair and maintain it. It is really not worth the effort!

Can't we stay in the capital? No matter how hot the capital is, no matter how hot we are, there are no people who work in the fields for a day, right? They can work for a day, so what can we not tolerate it? At least there is a tiles above our heads that can shade the sun, a maid and a servant fan, and ice cubes to cool down, and there is also food to cool down for us to eat. What else is there to be dissatisfied?

Emperor, I have no other intentions. I just want the emperor to calculate how much manpower and material resources you need to work on a trip? How much money does it cost? How many officials and people have to do along the way to ensure your safety and comfort?

What can we do if we have these silver? I think we can use these silver to cover the ice cellar, which can be used for the needs of the palace, and can also be sold to wealthy businessmen to increase their income and fill the treasury. It is simply killing two birds with one stone!"

Well, he finished saying good things again. After comparing them with his words, he directly compared them to the underground.

I was flattering just now, but now I am righteous. This has changed too quickly and I can't keep up with his pace!

From this point of view, Gu An is not all a villain who only knows how to flatter and fears horses, and is still a loyal minister with great righteousness.

After a while, the ministers changed their minds about him and began to think about how much their deterioration in their qualities with Gu An had.

The court officials stopped talking, and it would be impossible to encourage Emperor Wen of Wei to build an palace. Otherwise, Gu An would be able to label them as he ignored the lives of the people and only cared about his own happiness.

Emperor Wen of Wei glanced at me, "Okay, the matter in the Cultivation Palace has failed, so I don't have to think about going to the palace to escape the summer heat. I'd better stay here honestly."

Emperor Wen of Wei took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Gu Aiqing's words are reasonable. If all the young masters have no objections, then do this."

After saying that, he glared at Gu An and the ministers who knelt on the ground and called him wisely and stood up and left.

Sun Ying quickly called for retreating to the court, followed Emperor Wen of Wei and left behind, leaving a bunch of court officials looking at each other.

Gu An had achieved his goal and retreated aside swayingly, allowing several first-rank ministers to walk in front, and he followed closely behind and left the palace.

The remaining group of ministers looked at me, I looked at you, and then glanced at Gu An, who was more energetic when he left the palace, shook his head.

A sincere persuasion brought hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Gu An was very planning!

It is not easy for him to be a second-grade master. Regardless of whether he earned military merits or not, they have seen his ability today. Without real ability, they really can't get into this position.

Gu Ancai doesn’t care what others think, money is a good thing! Don’t be careless. If you just say something, you will get so much money, and only a fool will give up.
