C966 Huaxia Bank

The entire hall was in an uproar. All the officials and princes were shocked. What was going on? How could the Western Xia be destroyed?

Shen Muqing said to Ying Zheng: "Thank you, Third Brother, for your praise of Xi Xia! "However, when did General Yue Fei actually destroy Xi Xia?"

Shen Muqing's words were like an iron hammer that struck Ying Zheng's heart. Ying Zheng stared at Shen Muqing and asked, "When did Yue Fei attack Xi Xia? Why is This King unaware of this? This King is Minister of Military! "

Shen Muqing said, "How can we use a sharp knife to kill a chicken? A small country like that doesn't need to bother Third Brother, I'll just do it on his behalf. "

This sentence was like a killing blow to the heart. The civil and military officials could not bear to look at it directly. Shen Muqing was too venomous! Ying Zheng was just boasting about his meritorious military service just now. On the other hand, Shen Muqing exterminated an entire country. Compared to Shen Muqing, who was in a higher position, Shen Muqing's scheme had once again impressed all the civil and military officials.

Ying Zheng was unable to contain his anger, this was humiliation! He immediately bowed to the Human Emperor. "Father, you've heard that Wu Tie has no laws and has bypassed the Ministry of Military to move the army. If this matter is not severely punished, then where is the law of China?"

Prince of Wen said from the side, "Yes, this son is supporting the proposal. The laws of China do not work against each other. Even if Ninth Brother did the deed of destroying Western China, he cannot be exempted from this sin. Otherwise, everyone will follow suit, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Shen Muqing looked at Ji Chang as if he was looking at a fool: "Don't tell me you don't know that using troops requires Tiger Tally s, how can I use armies without them? Without royal father's support, how can I transfer an army of a few hundred thousand? "

Ji Chang's face reddened as he looked at the Human Emperor pitifully. The Human Emperor nodded, "Hmm, Ninth Brother is right, the Tiger Tally had been given to him by the oligarch for Yue Fei to lead the troops. This has been happening for more than a year.

After finishing his sentence, the officials showed an expression of understanding. They realized that Shen Muqing had such foresight. He had been planning for it for more than a year. This kind of foresight and strategy was really shocking.

Ying Zheng felt aggrieved in his heart, but in front of Shen Muqing's meritorious service, there was still someone supporting him. He could not bear to pester them any longer. With a cold snort, he retreated back into the group.

The Human Emperor looked at Shen Muqing and said, "The Western Xia Kingdom has been destroyed. What should we do next?"

Shen Muqing said, "The next step has been given to General Yue Fei by me. Of course, it is to kill their people, plunder their talents, occupy their land and raise our Chinese citizens."

Ji Chang immediately got angry and said, "No, no! My Hua Xia is a nation of etiquette. Since Xi Xia has been destroyed, then Xi Xia is a person of the Central Plains. How can my Hua Xia casually seize their property, and what difference is there between that and Barbarian? "

Shen Muqing said lightly, "This King is now Cabinet Prime Minister. As for foreign affairs, it depends on what This King says. Let's talk about it when Second Brother becomes Cabinet Prime Minister!" Inform Ji Chang with a single sentence, that I am the boss, and that I am no longer trying to reason with him.

Ji Chang had no choice but to ask the Human Emperor for help, "Imperial Father, Ninth Brother doesn't listen to advice. He is headstrong and uses it for himself, which may lead to disaster!"

The Human Emperor simply ignored him. He looked at Shen Muqing and said, "Snatch their talents and capture their civilians. Tell me in detail."

Shen Muqing said, "Carry back their gold and silver treasures to the Central Plains to help the affected people. Bring back their men and open a canal. The women then send them to the teachers' hall to swindle their labor force.

We will establish their land as an ensign and move those people in the Central Plains who have no land to the Western Xia territory. We will grant them land and farm tools and make the Western Xia our territory and expand our China's territory.

These methods were carried out in such a way that the commoners could be rich and not sell their girls, and the canal could also continue to be excavated so as to not arouse the resentment of the populace.

Furthermore, those people who do not have land to grow can also nurture their bodies and not cause trouble. Although a small country like Western Xia is currently unable to solve the problems of the Central Plains, it has somewhat eased up. "

Shen Muqing explained each of them one by one, which was quite impressive. If it was really as Shen Muqing had thought, then the imperial government would have an extra tax of around ten years or even millions of cheap slaves. There were countless lands here as well, and it was hard to refuse.

At this time, Ji Chang could not refute Shen Muqing's actions. Although Shen Muqing's actions were against the law, it was beneficial for the commoners. Once it was announced, the commoners would support him.

The Human Emperor was also highly appreciative of Shen Muqing's plan. He nodded and said, "You are the cabinet minister, Prime Minister. You have decided on this matter. The oligarch can give you an imperial decree of peace."

Shen Muqing bowed to the Human Emperor, "This son thanks royal father, but this son has something else to ask of royal father."

The Human Emperor was stunned. "What is it?"

Shen Muqing looked at Yang Guang and said, "This time, General Yue Fei has destroyed the Western Xia Country, so he can get around 2 million young men and women. "I want to reopen the canal and speed up the process so that the north and south can be connected. But before that, I need to thoroughly investigate the corrupt officials of the old canal, otherwise, if I spend more money, I will end up in the hands of the corrupt officials."

The Human Emperor nodded. "Of course. There's no need to ask the widows for permission."

Shen Muqing said, "This son not only wants to hold this humble official accountable, but also Yang Xuangan responsible."

Prince of Sui immediately jumped out, "Shen Muqing, how dare you! What do you mean? Are you suspecting that This King is favouring others for his own good? With my status, how could I covet a canal project? "

Shen Muqing said flatly, "Clear as day. If Fifth Brother didn't do it, why be nervous?"0

He felt guilty. Although he didn't embezzle, in order to speed up his work, he secretly sent additional labourers. He deducted a lot of lives from the labourers and reported that the person in charge, Yang Xuangan, was dead without a doubt.

After losing Yang Xuangan, Yang Guang completely lost control of the canal. This was something he couldn't accept. He was now pointing at the canal and couldn't afford to lose Yang Xuangan.

Human Emperor arrogantly said: "You just need to send someone to investigate! "The oligarch bestowed upon you the sword of Shang Fangfang. No matter who violates the laws of the imperial court, you must be punished!"

Yang Guang heard these words and his face turned pale. He was powerless to stop Shen Muqing as he looked helplessly at Shen Muqing to show his gratitude. After that, there were a few more bills that finally came to an end.

Shen Muqing had achieved a complete victory. From the beginning, he had worked alone with five princes, and in the end, he annihilated the Western Xia Country. After that, he used his identity as the cabinet, Prime Minister, to suppress Ji Chang and thoroughly investigate the matter of Yang Guang.

With military power, a treasured sword, and the decree to call for peace, Shen Muqing had everything he wanted. As the number one person in China, the civil and military officials could predict that Shen Muqing would be blown to the sky again after the content of the assembly was released.

Just the matter of Shen Muqing annihilating the Western Xia Country and plundering the Western Xia Country was enough to make the citizens flatter him. At the Wu Steel Manor, Prince of Sui's expression became anxious after they left the imperial court.

After some thought, he wrote a letter and gave it to Yu Shiji, saying, "Pass this letter to Yang Xuangan as soon as possible."

Yu Shiji glanced at it and said in surprise, "Your Highness wants to inform us? If this is found out by the imperial government, the king will not be able to get away with it. "

Yang Guang said, "Don't worry about that too much. This King can't lose the entire project right now, so I have to protect Yang Xuangan. But all I can do is let him know about it and deal with it well. As for whether or not he can escape Ninth Brother's investigation, it will all depend on him."

Yu Shiji nodded: "I understand, I'll send someone to pass on the message."

On the other side, Shen Muqing was summoned to the palace by the Human Emperor after he had left for the assembly. Inside the study, Shen Muqing bowed to the Human Emperor: "This son greets the Emperor. Many thanks for your help today!"

The Human Emperor smiled. "Esteemed wangfei, I've already told you before that I can't help you with anything during the assembly. You relied on yourself for everything. You've done quite well this time."

Shen Muqing stood up and said seriously, "Father being impartial in the court is the greatest help to me."

These words were from the bottom of his heart. He was dealing with five princes today. If it was any other emperor, they would think that Shen Muqing was too stubborn and stubborn. They would subconsciously suppress him and only the Human Emperor would have the bearing.

The Human Emperor replied, "Everything you do is in the eyes of the oligarchs. Since the world is ruled by the oligarchs, you must do what the predecessors cannot. No matter what you do, the oligarchs will support you!"

Shen Muqing was touched. He never thought that the Human Emperor would have such high hopes for him. He treated him as his successor and made him the ruler of the world.

Shen Muqing made a promise: "This son will remember royal father's words and let the flag of China be planted throughout the four seas. All we see are the lands of China!"

The Human Emperor nodded and noticed that Wei Zhongxian had walked in. "Your edict and Shang Fangbai's sword are both here. I'll give them to you. You can settle the rest by yourself."

Shen Muqing received Shang Fang's sword and imperial edict, and said solemnly: "Royal Father, don't worry, with the imperial edict, the matter of Qingzhou will definitely be settled. As for the Beijing and Hangzhou Rivers."

Shen Muqing hesitated a few times. He touched the sword and said softly, "I hope we can make it in time."

After leaving the palace, Shen Muqing went straight to the cabinet. Di Renjie and the others were all present and busy with their own matters. This time, Shen Muqing's candidates were all the pillars of China's five thousand years of history.

Bi Qian, Lyu Buwei, Sima Qian, Wei Zhongxian, Du Rao, Zhangsun Wuji, and others. These people were all famous scholars in history, and no one wanted to be left behind. So their work speed was very fast, and it could be said that their cooperation with each other was perfect.

Seeing Shen Muqing, Di Renjie and the rest stood up, "Greetings, Prince of Yan!"

Shen Muqing nodded and said, "Exempt the formalities. This King came here to discuss something with you."

Shen Muqing said: "This time, the Western Xia Country has been destroyed. According to the statistics, the national treasury should be around 400 to 500 million silver, plus the calligraphy and painting, the price after the auction should be about 600 to 700 million silver. Compared to the imperial tax payment, it should be around 10 years. How do you plan to deal with it?"
