The best eunuch

Chapter 72 The heart of the emperor, talk about the treasury

It's a beautiful night.The bright moon hangs obliquely in the sky, and the bright stars shine brightly.Liang Xin looked up at Mingyue and sighed slightly.

He remembered that now was the time when Concubine Xia asked him to meet, but the Shandong rebellion made him not in the mood to steal jade or incense.Coupled with what Qin Qing said before leaving today, Liang Xin's heart is very heavy at the moment.

Gao Qi's third division's army and horses were too weak to fight, the Shandong rebels were fierce and fearless, and the Mingjiao, which had been developed for many years and was close to maturity.Bianjing is in danger, and the Song Dynasty is in danger.Liang Xin was even considering whether to persuade Zhao Ji to go south to the south of the Yangtze River to escape temporarily.

But soon Liang Xin dispelled his own idea, not to mention that it was impossible for Zhao Ji to move to Jiangnan just because of his few words, even if Zhao Ji was willing.The civil and military officials in Bianjing will not agree, and Liang Xin will definitely be criticized by those civil servants until he dies.

With a heart full of sorrow and a sense of powerlessness deep in his heart, Liang Xin sighed again: "It's still too slow. If this continues, I still can't change anything."

"Change what?" Wang Shiyin's voice sounded, and at the same time, a coat was draped over Liang Xin.

Liang Xin grabbed his coat and looked back at Wang Shiyin.Under the moonlight, Shiyin with a face of tenderness is like a goddess.Liang Xin's heart softened, and he stretched out his hand to hug Wang Shiyin into his arms.He said quietly: "Shiyin. Let me tell you a story."

"En." Wang Shiyin leaned in Liang Xin's arms softly, and responded softly.

Liang Xin reached out and gently stroked Wang Shiyin's smooth hair like black satin, looked ahead and said, "After a long, long time. There will be no more carriages on the roads, and people will drive a car called a car." Things are driving fast on the road, much faster than the Maxima.

If you want to go to a very far place, you will take something called an airplane to fly in the sky, and it only takes one or two hours to get there..."

Liang Xin gently told Shiyin about the present life he had experienced. Shiyin heard it strangely, and finally couldn't help but raised his head and asked Liang Xin: "Is this really going to happen? Is the future world really so magical?"

"En." Liang Xin nodded and said, "It's really so amazing." He held Wang Shiyin's face and said seriously: "Because I just came from the future."

"You came from the future?" Wang Shiyin looked at Liang Xin ecstatically. Seeing Liang Xin's serious expression, Wang Shiyin smiled immediately.She thumped Chong Liangxin's chest and said, "I hate it, you're teasing me again."

Liang Xin smiled noncommittally, just hugged Shiyin so quietly, and stopped talking about the future.

No matter how beautiful the future is, without you, without Qin Qing, and that girl Yelu Lianrong.Oh, you can also bring Zixia and Concubine Xia with you.Without you, the future means nothing to me.Liang Xin said silently in his heart.

next morning.Full of worries, Liang Xin stayed up all night.Sometimes the more things people know, the more troubles they will have.For example, now that Liang Xin entered the palace, he could still see Zhao Ji playing Cuju with great interest. The Shandong rebellion didn't seem to affect his mood at all.

After the game, Zhao Ji, who was tired and sweating profusely, walked to the sidelines.Seeing Zhao Ji approaching, Liang Xin immediately knelt down and saluted.Zhao Ji smiled and asked Liang Xin to die without courtesy.

After Liang Xin thanked Zhao Ji, he stood up.Zhao Ji asked: "How is it? Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. My minister's health has recovered." Liang Xin said.

Zhao Ji nodded, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by a trace of solemnity.He said: "Did you know? Shandong has rebelled. The disaster relief funds you have worked so hard to raise have not played any role."

"Hmm." Liang Xin nodded and said, "Xichang told the minister this news. It is said that the rebellion was caused by refugees looting grain and killing the army guarding grain."

"Hmph! Looting grain, killing the army that guards the grain? Liang Xin, do you want to talk to me like this?"

Liang Xin was slightly startled. He looked up at Zhao Ji and found that Zhao Ji's eyes were a little gloomy.For a moment, Liang Xin felt a little happy in his heart.Turns out, he wasn't completely kept in the dark.He also knows some things, but he doesn't have to say it.Perhaps, this is the emperor's mind.

Liang Xin was sure, and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the news from the West Factory is that the refugees looted the food, but after opening the food bags, it turned out that the so-called food was all sand. Then the refugees rebelled in anger."

"Sand?" Zhao Ji was taken aback for a moment, and then sneered: "Sure enough, they are all my good ministers. The rice turns into sand. It's thanks to them that they can be so cruel."

Zhao Ji reached out and pinched his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Liang Xin. Let's walk with me."

"Yes!" Liang Xin bowed slightly, the moment Zhao Ji turned around, Liang Xin finally saw a trace of fatigue belonging to the emperor in Zhao Ji's back.

Gen Prison is wide and large, and Zhao Ji spent unimaginable human, material and financial resources for such a place.In the past, he would always show pride when walking in Gen Prison, but now when he took Liang Xin to the bank of Wanyu Lake, Zhao Ji sighed deeply, with a trace of guilt in his eyes.

He looked at all kinds of fish in the lake and said: "Actually, I can't remember exactly how much money was spent on this prison. When the father was in power, he sent troops to Xixia, and he went all the way to Xixia, which was close to two thousand miles away. Land. It is a pity that the father died before his ambition was fulfilled.

After that, Zhezong, the sixth brother of the emperor, came to the throne. Zhezong worked hard to govern and concentrate on government affairs, but he didn't want to die young.At the beginning, when the emperor's brother died of illness, he had no heirs, so he recommended me to the queen mother to be the emperor.

I know that Wenzhi is not as good as my elder brother, and martial arts is not as good as my father.But I also wanted to use the two of them as an example, to make every effort to rule, and to promote the prestige of our Great Song Dynasty.But time is not waiting for me, my several battles have all ended in failure, not to mention the huge consumption of military power, and the originally full treasury has also been emptied.

Since then, I have understood that I am not a good ruler of the country.Therefore, I would rather focus on the mountains and rivers than discuss state affairs.But now it seems that I was wrong..."

I was wrong.These three words are so simple to say.But Zhao Ji spoke so seriously.He is the emperor, No.1 in the world.Can he admit his mistake?Does he need to admit his mistake?He does not need it.

But now facing Liang Xin, he sincerely said "I was wrong." Liang Xin's heart was inevitably moved.

Zhao Ji shook his head, and his thoughts suddenly got out of the past.He turned to look at Liang Xin and said, "Liang Xin. Do you think the Shandong matter can be resolved smoothly this time?"

Liang Xin was slightly taken aback.He couldn't help being depressed, he thought to himself, how can someone answer you if you ask so directly?Shall I just tell you bluntly that the army horse of the third division is already hollow and rotten and vulnerable?Do you want me to tell you that not only Shandong will cause it, but Fang La in Qingxi County will also send troops?

Liang Xin thought about it for a while, and made up his mind to tell Zhao Ji the truth.But when he raised his head, he saw Zhao Ji looking at him expectantly.For some reason, Liang Xin's heart suddenly softened. He sighed slightly in his heart, and the words that were on the verge of his mouth were changed to: "Although the Shandong Rebellion Army appears to be numerous and powerful on the surface, it is actually a group of mobs. Well-trained and well-equipped, I believe Gao Taiwei will be able to defeat the Shandong rebel army in one battle."

Hearing what Liang Xin said, Zhao Ji was obviously relieved.He smiled and said: "I think so too. I hope Gao Lian will not let me down."

There was a wry smile on the corner of Liang Xin's mouth, he didn't know whether he was right or wrong to lie to Zhao Ji like this.

Liang Xin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty. In fact, I think that even if the Shandong rebel army is defeated this time, we should learn from this lesson. In the future, whenever there is a disaster in the middle school, we must send a special department to be responsible for disaster relief. , and at the same time send reliable people to supervise. Shandong has encountered such a chaos, and it will definitely take a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to manage it after the war."

"Manpower, material resources, and financial resources." Zhao Ji also smiled wryly: "Now that the national treasury is empty, where can I get the human, material and financial resources?"

"This..." Liang Xin thought for a while and finally couldn't help but say the plan he had been holding back in his heart: "Your Majesty, in fact, one of the weapons of a country is infinite wealth. Willing to take on this matter and find a way to keep the treasury never empty."

"Never...never empty?" Zhao Ji couldn't help being startled by Liang Xin's huge tone.
