Chapter 34 Buying People's Hearts
Xiao Tan blushed, knowing that he was a little reckless last night, but he did not explain where he went. In fact, after he woke up, he lay down and slept on the floor of his house.
Xiaotan didn't have the habit of drinking, because drinking would cause trouble, but he knew that he actually stepped on the beam of a girl's house last night, causing the girl to think that he was a flower-picking thief, which made him a little embarrassed. He finally escaped from it and returned home.
He lay down on the floor tiredly. He just wouldn't say this to Jing Yuan, because Jing Yuan would definitely laugh at him. He wanted to talk about other things quickly and don't change the subject.
"Your Majesty, our plan for the last part has gone smoothly, so what should we do next?" Xiaotan talked about the business. When Jingyuan heard this, he thought that he was indeed drunk last night and didn't think about it carefully. What's next?
Action really needs to be discussed now.
"Even after the last time the tyrant made trouble in court, his image among the ministers has plummeted. What we are mainly doing now is to win people's hearts. Have you discussed it with those ministers?"
"I have mentioned your name to them in different images and in different ways. Most of them support you. How about I pay another visit?" Xiao Tan looked at Jing Yuan and asked.
Jing Yuan nodded, this is exactly what he thought. Although Xiaotan communicated with the ministers in different identities, the ministers did not take any actual actions. This was something he had no confidence in, but now he needed to do it.
The most direct way is to buy people's hearts, and the most direct way is to exchange their hearts with money.
He allocated a large amount of money, which was found from the emperor's treasury by his own soldiers. These were the people's wealth and anointing. There was nothing wrong with him using it. He didn't use the emperor's money anyway.
Bai need not. Xiao Tan looked at the large amount of gold and silver that Jing Yuan had produced and was a little surprised. He looked at Jing Yuan and wondered where these things came from.
Jing Yuan smiled and said to Xiaotan, "Look what are the words printed on the bottom of these boxes?" Xiaotan was a little confused. He walked under the boxes, looked down, and saw a seal pattern.
.Isn’t this a pattern only used by the monarch? Doesn’t all this money belong to the monarch? Xiao Tan probably understood in his heart.
Although Prince Jing's money is only a lot more than others, in fact, Xiao Tan still knows the background of Prince Jing's palace. Although the emperor and Prince Jing are brothers, the emperor has been unable to make ends meet in recent years, and most of the money he has gained has been
They are all kept for themselves, which is not much compared to the actual money of the palace.
He was also thinking about where the prince suddenly got so much money and asked him to bribe those ministers. It turned out that all the money he used was ill-gotten gains from the emperor. There was no need for him to be soft. Thinking about it, he would have paid for this money before.
When my body hurts, I feel like I am superfluous.
Xiao Tan called his subordinates to come in and move the money out. He wanted to push the door open, but was stopped by Jing Yuan. "Xiao Tan, I am going to meet these great gods this time. With my power, Prince Jing,
In name, they should all recognize you. You have been around me all year round and they should have an impression of you. Don't mention my name, just talk to them, and they will understand it themselves. "
Xiao Tan nodded and left the room. There was only one person standing by the window with a faint smile on his lips.
Xiao Tan visited the residences where the ministers lived before, but the order of the visits was a little different this time. He planned to start with the smallest officials. For the senior officials, he also needed to show them off properly. Anyway, they were all
After receiving their money, I felt a little more confident.
"Master, today I came to see you from Prince Jing's Mansion specifically for Xiao Tan, and I want to ask for your advice. But why don't you take a look at these things first." These were the first words Xiao Tan said to the ministers he met.
If you use money to attract them, they will agree most happily. I have already accepted a bribe once before, and it is not too much to accept another bribe now.
The ministers would have thought that the money was not much, and now that so much money has been collected, they would not check it carefully. Looking at the money, their eyes have already been shining, so how can they pay attention to it? What is this now?
Where did it come from? They knew that Xiao Tan was a person close to King Jing, and King Jing was very powerful. He had been heard from the court a few days ago. He was a more suitable person than the monarch. Xiao Tan's arrival this time, they felt
It also has a bottom.
"We all know in our hearts, Guard Xiaotan, that for an outstanding person like Prince Jing, we will certainly support him. Please also tell me when you go back that if anything happens to Prince Jing, you can contact me, my veteran, to reassure you."
Try your best and you will definitely fulfill Prince Jing’s instructions.”
Xiaotan smiled and didn't say much. After listening for a while, he said: "I'm afraid that you veterans like us, Prince Jing, can't meet these requirements. The veteran then thought about it. After accepting other people's money, he naturally wants to pay for it."
Others work hard, and since they are ordered to do something, they must do it to the end. "I wonder if there is anything that I can't do?"
Xiao Tan smiled and said, "Don't you think the world is going to change hands?" Xiao Tan said it very directly, and he did not intend to talk to these veterans in such a roundabout way. He felt that this way was the best and simple way.
Clearly.
"I understand now. You are right. The old minister's heart is the same as yours. Since you said it directly, the old minister will definitely promote His Highness Prince Jing and make him the king of a country!"
With the promise of these veterans, Xiaotan returned to Prince Ming's Mansion and gave Jingyuan the final summary. When he said it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. It seemed that their great cause was about to be completed. Jingyuan listened to his words.
If so, you will naturally be happy.
At this time, Chu Xia had finished dressing up. After coming out of the General's Mansion, she walked to the door of Prince Jing's Mansion and bumped into Xiao Tan. After the two said hello, they walked in two directions, and Xiao Tan left Prince Jing's Mansion.
, while Chu Xia walked towards Jing Yuan's room.
Chu Xia stood in front of Jing Yuan's room and looked at Jing Yuan's tightly closed door. She paused for a moment, then raised her arm and knocked on Jing Yuan's door.
Not long after, there was the sound of the door being opened, and then Chu Xia saw Jing Yuan standing behind the door.
"You're here." Jing Yuan smiled slightly and turned sideways to let Chu Xia in.
After Chu Xia followed Jing Yuan into the room, Jing Yuan closed the door of the room again.
"What's the matter?" Usually when Chu Xia comes to see him, there is something going on.
"With your help, my skills have improved." Chu Xia smiled with a bright smile.
"Really?" Jing Yuan smiled slightly.
"Yes, I can control Jian Ge now." In order to convince Jing Yuan, Chu Xia also summoned Jian Ge and demonstrated it to Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan read it carefully and applauded Chu Xia happily, "It's really good."
After receiving Jing Yuan's praise, Chu Xia smiled even more happily and said, "I will definitely get better and better, and I will never let you down."
"I also believe that you will not let me down." Jing Yuan stood in front of Chu Xia, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, his eyes looked at Chu Xia tenderly, and said to Chu Xia: "I just said you are talented.
If you are gifted, you must be."
Chu Xia's eyes curled up, she looked at Jing Yuan brightly, and said softly: "Thank you, Jing Yuan."
The corners of Jing Yuan's mouth raised slightly downward, then raised again. He shook his head slightly and said to Chu Xia, "You're welcome."
This was the first time Chu Xia looked at him so excitedly, like a child who had perfect scores in homework, waiting for praise from an adult.
Such Chu Xia made Jing Yuan slightly distracted. This was another side of Chu Xia that Jing Yuan saw.
Su Xiqu stood in front of the general's door, looked at the two guards in front of him, and said to them: "I am a young lady from Su Mansion, and I came here to see Chu Xia."
They all know the young lady from Su Mansion, Su Xiqu.
This was not the first time that Su Xiqu came to Chu Mansion to find Chu Xia, so they all knew each other.
Although Su Xiqu is not very favored, she is still the rich daughter of Su Mansion. After coming to Chu Mansion, she is not allowed to enter. This cannot be justified in any case.
Therefore, General Chu had told the people in the Chu Mansion before, informing them not to stop Su Xiqu when she arrived. As long as Su Xiqu did not go to places where she was not allowed to go, she could go wherever she wanted.
Su Xiqu came to Chu Mansion just to find Chu Xia. She didn't want to go anywhere else. Therefore, if she didn't just walk around in Chu Mansion, no one would stop Su Xiqu.
This time, Su Xiqu successfully entered the Chu Mansion and was walking towards Chu Xia's room when she met Chu Wei.
Chu Wei looked at Su Xiqu and said to Su Xiqu angrily: "Miss Su, are you looking for Chu Xia again?"
Su Xiqu looked at Chu Wei. She often came to Chu Mansion, so she naturally knew what kind of person Chu Wei was. She knew that Chu Wei and Chu Xia had never dealt with each other, and their attitude towards Chu Wei was not very good.
Su Xiqu looked at Chu Wei with a cold face and said nothing.
"Is Miss Su so carefree? Why come to a slum like Chuxia to watch?" Su Xiqu said nothing, but Chu Wei did not intend to let Su Xiqu leave just like that.
She was always unhappy looking at Chu Xia, so much so that she felt unhappy even while watching Su Xiqu.
However, Su Xiqu is not like Chu Xia. Su Xiqu's family status in the Su family is not as low as Chu Xia's. Chu Wei couldn't offend Su Xiqu too much, so she only dared to speak to Su Xiqu in such a shady manner.
"Do you want to say anything else? If you have nothing to say, then I will leave." Su Xiqu's attitude towards Chu Wei was not good. She has always been like this. If you like someone, you like someone, and if you hate someone, you just like her.
If you hate someone, you will never learn to please them.
Moreover, people like Chu Wei are not worthy of her flattery.
Su Xiqu looked at Chu Wei with a cold face.
