Everyone in the Chancellor's house was frightened.
The concubines kept crying, and even Zhao Lide's other children were panicked. After all, the current His Majesty is a madman. He doesn't care who you are, he will kill you if you deserve it!
They know what their families have done. If it was nothing in the past, but now, it is absolutely against His Majesty's new policy.
¡°Mother, is Bingze the cause of the trouble?¡±
"Yes, it should be, wuwu, I shouldn't, shouldn't let him out, wuwu"
Zhao Lide was arrested, and the news spread like the wind. Officials, aristocratic families, and even princes in the entire imperial city who were a little more concerned were all worried. After all, Zhao Lide's network of connections was too deep, and they were all related.
For a time, everyone was in danger, and many people even considered preparing for funeral arrangements.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of nowhere, or drinking poison to kill themselves when His Majesty arrives, so as not to be dragged to the street and hacked together to leave their bodies lying on the street. Big men like them can't stand this kind of death. What's the difference between them and beggars on the street?
"Master Zhao has been arrested. I'm afraid we can't hide our affairs anymore. We secretly sell weapons to the barbarians for profit. The problem of the arsenal is so big, it's over!"
"Zhao Lide can't hide it. His Majesty's methods are beyond the understanding of those of us. We have known for a long time that it would be like this. It is sad to bury ourselves in it for some endless money!"
"Go and see the King of Zhenshan, maybe the King of Zhenshan can help!"
"The King of Zhenshan can't protect himself, haven't you heard? News just came that King Zhenshan has thrown away a lot of business in his hands, and also sent a message that no one can touch it, your Majesty."
"What!"
"Damn Zhao Lide!"
On the flower boat, Jiang Xiaoye was sitting on a deck chair and contentedly. During the flower boat parade, Zhao Bingze was woken up by Xia Rongsheng again. Zhou Xing and the others were also trembling, wondering why they came to the muddy water. Now they don't even have a chance to escape. No.
"Huan Yu Oiran, the best businessman in the world, I have heard of this before, but I have never paid attention to it. Lavender, do you know?" Jiang Xiaoye has also asked about this businessman before, but everyone below said that he was Doing business in all major royal cities, rice trade, cloth trade, etc., I do all kinds of business, and with some background, I have achieved what I am now.
He didn¡¯t have time to check these and kept staring at the officials and princes. Now that he heard it here, he might as well ask Liang Xunyi and the others.
Hearing this, Liang Xunyi hesitated and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Meng Tianlong, the best businessman in the world, used to be a border general and guarded the border for twenty years. Later, he came back due to injury and went into business due to health problems. However, he Several of his sons and close men are almost all border generals. Although he is no longer on the border, he still has a high status and has connections with many princes. Moreover, I heard my father say when talking to people, Many people have the leverage in his hands, it seems, it seems"
"It's not simple!" Jiang Xiaoye was surprised. A general who guarded the border has now come back to become the richest businessman in the world, and his network of connections is also very strong.
"What does it look like?"
Jiang Xiaoye was curious.
Liang Xunyi whispered: "It seems to be related to smuggling."
"Smuggling?" Jiang Xiaoye was curious about what he was smuggling. He saw that Eunuch Hai was a little nervous and looked at Eunuch Hai and said, "It seems that you also know a lot about Eunuch Hai?"
Eunuch Hai was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this old slave didn't do anything, but he did know something. There was a border general who reported it before, but no one took care of it at the beginning, and the memorial was gone before it came up. The general also disappeared, saying he was surrounded and killed by barbarians."
"Is it related to the barbarians?" Jiang Xiaoye said with great interest: "Come on, come on, come and talk."
Eunuch Hai quickly crawled forward a few times and said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know anything. Old slave, this old slave heard from one of his eunuchs that he had gone to the border to deliver imperial edicts before. He saw , saw that a large number of weapons were sent to the barbarians privately, and he asked someone to find out. Yes, the weapons were smuggled to the barbarians in exchange for some of the barbarians' animal skins, slaves, gold mines, silver mines, ores and other items. "
Smuggling weapons?
The general guarding the border smuggled weapons into the hands of his opponents? In exchange for wealth?
"Is the Zhenshan King involved?" Jiang Xiaoye looked at Mu He.
Mu He quickly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for Grandpa Concubine to participate in this kind of thing. This is a matter of confiscating the family and destroying the ancestors. There is no need for Grandpa Concubine to take risks for some money."
"It makes sense."
Jiang Xiaoye thought for a while and said: "It seems that the water at the border is very deep.Ah, every year they say that there is a barbarian invasion, and how many barbarians are reported to have been killed every year. Eunuch Hai, immediately find all the war reports from the border in the past few years, as well as material supplies, food and grass supplies, etc. I want to see if there are any. Barbarian invasion, or joining forces with the barbarians to do business, is not bad. It seems that there are many smart people on the barbarian side. "
"yes!"
Eunuch Hai quickly went to spread the news.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that there was no barbarian invasion, but that it was all false news all along? The barbarians have been fighting with us for so many years, and so many people would die every year. If these things hadn't happened"
Liang Xunyi was surprised. If this was the case, wouldn't it mean that all the battle reports over the years were fake?
Jiang Xiaoye shook his head and said: "The fight must have been a fight. It must have been a real fight at the beginning. But later, if the two parties had agreed to send a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to die every year, what about trading with them behind the scenes? Providing weapons and food and grass. , and then provide various resources, and the border is more interesting. They can promote people at will. Whoever has military exploits will be a general. It is not up to them. The Great Xia Dynasty is so big that it takes a quick trip to the border. A few months, interesting.¡±
It would be really interesting if both parties have negotiated. In this case, who can guarantee that both parties are making profits?
The so-called prisoners of war and the so-called trophies were all sent by the other side, right? But what about their side?
Feiying sent the message, and the left minister in the palace was also shocked when he got the news. He immediately ordered people to find all the battle reports and material information. He already knew some, but he had no idea how serious it would be.
¡°At most, it¡¯s just some small private transactions, harmless.
Several boxes were taken away by the palace monks, and Yu Jian went to find Jiang Xiaoye.
The speed was so fast that even before Zhao Lide arrived, more than a dozen boxes had already arrived in front of Jiang Xiaoye. The frontline and border information, supplies, etc. of the Great Xia Dynasty for almost fifty years were all here.
Jiang Xiaoye waved his hand, and memorials flew up one after another. At the same time, supplies for the front line began to unfold one after another.
In just a few minutes, Jiang Xiaoye stopped reading. Even though it was fifty years of information, for him, he could quickly understand it with his spiritual consciousness. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
