"But the notice has been issued. I can''t take it back, can I?"
Your majesty is in some trouble.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "in fact, your majesty just announced Wu Xi''s guilt to the world and didn''t say how to punish him. It''s just a subconscious thought in everyone''s mind that this crime must be the head of the owl, but it''s not necessary."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"In fact, what your majesty has to do now should be divided into two parts. On the one hand, it is to save the life of Wu Ge, on the other hand, it is to make people all over the world comfortable. In fact, these two points do not conflict."
"What they want to see most is the falling of their heads and the flow of blood?"
Xiao Yun said with a smile: "in fact, the people are not so cruel. They can only think of beheading for the matter of ''relieving Qi''. They think it is particularly cruel and extremely relieving, but there are still many ways to let them relieve Qi."
"Oh? I''d like to hear it in detail."
His majesty sat down directly and listened to Xiao Yun very seriously.
Xiao Yun also sat down. He didn''t care about the rules that the king should stand when he was sitting.
"Your Majesty, Wu Xi is actually very rich. Over the years, his family has quite a lot of savings. Of course, as long as your majesty punishes Wu Ge, his money will naturally be stolen and will belong to your majesty, but many people don''t know! People just want to see that Wu Ge is miserable, so..."
Xiao Yun paused and said some evil: "the first is the official position. Wu Xigui is an old cabinet. If he is directly demoted to a civilian, there will be no dignity on him. The whole Wu family will decline, the domestic slaves will be dismissed, and the family will be precarious. Is this cruel?"
"A little interesting."
"Moreover, Wu Xi took out his private money from the secret place. It was a huge sum of money. It was directly collected by the imperial court, which completely wiped out his efforts for so many years. It was like he was busy for so many years, just to save a huge sum of money for the imperial court. He worked hard all his life to pay for it. All his savings made wedding clothes for others, and he ended up with nothing and died of depression , is this cruel? "
"This..." Your Majesty was stunned and said, "so it''s really a little cruel."
Xiao Yun continued: "if the money is not only owned by the state treasury, but distributed to build bridges and roads, renovate rivers, dig the bottom and build embankments for the people all over the world, will the people be happy?"
"This!" His Majesty''s eyes lit up and he was about to be happy, but then he thought about it, frowned and said: "now the Treasury is nervous. It''s not easy to come to a sum of money for nothing. You don''t have to supplement the Treasury, but you have to spend it directly. This..."
He was obviously reluctant.
Xiao Yun said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is just a statement. In fact, this is true for the people, but it is also for your majesty?"
"Hmm? What do you say?"
"Only by building bridges and roads and making people live and work in peace and contentment can the country enjoy long-term peace and stability. On the one hand, it can recover from the disaster, on the other hand, it is also conducive to the long-term development of the country. It can be said that it is a great good thing to benefit the country for thousands of years! It is not the imperial court that will ultimately benefit? Is it not your majesty?"
"So... It seems a little far fetched."
He was still reluctant to give up the money. After all, the natural disasters continued. The officials of the following governments asked him for money every day, which made him a little poor and afraid.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "in fact, the money in the world comes from profits and taxes, but it will be spent after all, and the projects spent are just those. As for strengthening private infrastructure, it was originally an important part of the expenditure of the national treasury. Now it is just a special fund for special use, which can''t be counted as a loss."
"That''s also..."
"And not only that, if the Treasury distributes all roads for construction on weekdays, I''m afraid there are many things in the middle, it always has to spend a lot of wronged money. Now the money is the stolen money collected from huge greed, which has the effect of setting an example to the others. There should be a lot of people who can really spend this money."
"Well, that makes sense."
Your majesty agrees.
In particular, Xiao Yun was more gratified that he did not deliberately avoid the topic of "wild geese plucking their feathers".
He''s not stupid!
Is the person below greedy? Can he not know?
After all, there are good people in the court, such as Li Guofu. Every time he gives money and grain, Li Guofu will truthfully explain how much money can do.
In fact, in the end, it is not enough, and it is not enough. What can be done with a hundred passes can only be completed with three hundred passes. Where does the two hundred passes go? Your majesty will not know?
But this kind of thing is nothing more than turning a blind eye. If those people are really punished, who else works for him? Moreover, if it were not for such great interests, how could I have the confidence to use all the talents in the world?
Thinking of this, he thought Xiao Yun''s proposal was really good.
In this way, the people can get practical benefits after relieving their anger. They won''t care so much about Wu Xi''s life and death.
His majesty thought for a moment and asked, "I''m afraid life is worse than death after Wu Xi''s experience?"
Xiao Yun shook his head and said, "how can it be? It''s always better to live than to die. He''s old and can live for a few more years? And on the surface, he has lost everything, but in fact, he still has something that others don''t have."
"Oh? What''s that?"
Your majesty became curious.
Xiao Yun said firmly, "contacts!"
"Hmm? Contacts? I''ve seen a lot of things about people walking in cold tea and falling into the kitchen. It''s not easy for them not to fall into the well. What''s the use of these contacts?"
"Other people''s contacts may be a burden, but Wu Xi''s differences. As for how different methods, you can only know it when you do it. If it''s for the grass people, I''m afraid it won''t have any effect."
"Well, just like the big event you said, I''ll wait quietly!"
Your majesty today, from the initial anger, has become the present happiness.
What I hesitated for a long time was easily resolved by Xiao Yun!
Even think carefully, this is already the best result. There can be no better outcome than this, whether it is Wu Xi or the whole court.
Therefore, your Majesty was very happy when writing that instrument, or imperial edict.
With a stroke of a pen, he gave Xiao Yun all the gold to store. He didn''t even ask Xiao Yun if he had the ability to store it.
Even when the jade seal is covered, it looks natural and unrestrained.
That''s because he really didn''t know what the edict he wrote casually today would mean!
What a monster will be created!
After all this, your majesty quietly looked at Xiao Yun and said coldly, "Xiao Yun boy, do you go back by yourself or let me send someone to escort you back?"
Xiao Yun said with a smile, "you don''t bother your majesty about this kind of thing. In fact, the prison environment is good, and the grass people can get used to it."
So Xiao Yunzhen left the palace directly and returned to the prison of ducha house.
The prison head looked at him swaggering back, and even reached out and rubbed his eyes. His face was unbelievable.
There is also a man with an incredible face.
Wu Xi.
In the prison, he was waiting to die. Even if he accepted Xiao Yun''s promise, he still didn''t believe that Xiao Yun could really save his life.
Then the edict came down.
Xiao Yun left here in less than a day.
Just as Xiao Yun said, deposing officials became civilians, seized all family property, and used it for the construction of Daofu.
Your majesty also added one to forbid the three generations of the Wu family from being officials!
Wu Xi survived the disaster and stood on the spot. Although he was a little painful about being an official for three generations, after all, he was still alive.
As Xiao Yun said, as long as he lives, the Wu family will be there.
This once down and out of shape family, the family revitalized by their hard work and busy life, is still there!
