Prince of the Tang Dynasty: Signing in began with harming Li Shimin

Chapter 339 Traitor

On the east side of Yangzhou City.

The Yamen of the Shibo Department.

Su Jing walked lightly, under the guard of Liu Rong and Xu Jingzong, quietly stepped into the mansion through the back door.

Seeing this, Cui Xianshou, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward.

He gave a respectful salute to Su Jing, and bowed softly: "My minister sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"You don't need to be too polite, let's talk inside."

Su Jingxu raised his right hand and ordered in a low voice.

Cui Xianshou responded with a smile, and strode the three of them into the backyard of the yamen.

At this moment, the yamen servants in the mansion have already been sent by him to find a reason.

Even the entourage who had been with him for many years was sent by him to guard the front door not to approach.

Seeing this, Su Jing was very satisfied.

If it wasn't for him being from the Qinghe Cui family, he really wanted to hand over all those shady matters to Cui Xianshou to deal with.

Presumably, with such a caring and lucky minister to accompany him, he can also appreciate some of the fun of such a foolish emperor as Qianlong.

……

The group said nothing more.

After everyone walked to the side hall of the inner hall and sat down, Su Jing said bluntly: "Cui Xianshou.

Everyone present is my own, so I won't be too polite with you. "

Cui Xianshou was overjoyed when he heard the words, he hurriedly got up and said: "Your Highness, please give me instructions.

This humble minister will definitely do his best and will not disappoint His Highness. "

"it is good!

Bengong likes you more and more for being such a real villain! "

Su Jing smiled slightly, and gave Xu Jingzong a meaningful look.

If you say that you are really a villain, this guy is a character who can't give up.

"Cui Xianshou, since you are in charge of the Shipping Department, did you know about the sea conditions around my Datang beforehand?

Can we know how many ordinary merchants in Jiangnan are willing to take the risk of doing business overseas? "

Cui Xianshou was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, rubbed his hands in thought and replied: "His Royal Highness.

Weichen has never been in contact with the sea merchants, and he did not know how to learn about this matter in the past, so he is still at a loss up to now.

But before Wei Chen came to Yangzhou, he had already sent someone to ask for help from the clan.

The patriarch promised to send competent people to serve in the Shibo Department, and would also bring some books to the ministers for reference. "

"You are honest.

If it weren't for the fact that there is no one available in this palace, I would never let someone like you who knows nothing occupy the position of the head of the Shibo Department. "

Su Jing smiled and shook his head.

Looking at Cui Xianshou who was smiling and not ashamed, he said with a smile: "You don't have to worry.

In the future, even if Bengong finds suitable personnel, he will also find a lucrative job for you in the court.

As long as you remember to visit me on time, I will keep you rich and worry-free for the rest of your life. "

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Cui Xianshou smiled happily.

There was no outsider present at the moment, and he didn't have to put on a show.

Seeing this, Su Jing nodded secretly.

Putting away his playful expression, he said seriously: "Cui Xianshou, I'm here today for just one thing.

Although this city shipping department was established to increase taxes for the imperial court and provide livelihood for the people of the world, this palace also has selfish motives. "

Cui Xianshou heard the words and sat upright, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness just give orders, and this humble minister will definitely live up to His Highness's trust."

"it is good!"

Su Jingting nodded, and said in a deep voice: "In the south of my Tang Dynasty, there are still many unowned islands.

A few days ago, Bengong had ordered Liu Rengui to send the army south as soon as the navy formed an army.

The government of Yangzhou is responsible for raising food, grass and military pay, and you, Cui Xianshou...

Be sure to contact Ji Ming before the army departs, and secretly form a caravan to go south with the merchants.

remember.

No matter how much profit you get, this palace only takes [-]%, and the rest will be distributed by you.

In return, Bengong will order Liu Rengui to take care of the fleet.

Even if you want to sell slaves, Ben Gong can turn a blind eye.

But you need to keep in mind.

You can only sell barbarian slaves. If anyone dares to kidnap the people of Tang Dynasty, don't blame me for not thinking about the past. "

Cui Xianshou's expression was shocked when he heard the words, and he cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely keep an eye on my subordinates.

Whoever dares to disobey His Highness's will, I will definitely make his life worse than death. "

"That's good!"

Su Jingting nodded, and then said: "Gold and silver goods come second, and the most important thing in this palace is the nautical chart.

Remember to remind Ji Ming on the day you go to sea.

Be sure to get in touch with the barbarian merchants more, and must find out the channel of the barbarians to our Tang Dynasty.

When the palace clears out the surrounding barbarians who do not want to surrender, they will order people to go west.

If something goes wrong at that time, even this palace will not be able to protect you! "

Cui Xianshou's heart tightened, and he hastily responded: "My minister has made a note of it.

With the head of the item as a guarantee, the minister will definitely find out the charts of the barbarians. "

"I trust you.

You Cui Xianshou is not a person who does not know the importance. "

Su Jing smiled slightly, squinted his eyes and asked: "The business is over, let's talk about it.

Today you and others gathered at Cui Liang's mansion, how do you plan to deal with me? "

"Uh……"

Cui Xianshou smiled awkwardly, and replied hesitantly: "Your Highness has shown his might this time, and the layout and planning are perfect.

Lanling Xiao, Chenjun Xie, Yuan, Wujun Gu, Lu, Zhu..."

"stop!

Cui Xianshou, are you joking with Ben Gong?

The Lanling Xiao family has a side branch in Yangzhou, and this palace knows about it.

But how could Chen Jun Xie, Wu Jun Gu and others be in Yangzhou? "

Su Jing was quite dissatisfied.

Cui Xianshou hastily laughed and said: "Your Highness, how dare a humble minister play with you.

You don't know.

Since you mobilized the army to besiege the Guo family, the Jiangnan family has sent the younger generation to sneak into Yangzhou.

And a few days ago, Zheng Chang, the third brother of the Zheng family in Xingyang, got married, and all the families in the world sent people to congratulate him.

If not.

How could an old man like Zheng Shanguo put aside his government affairs and rush to Yangzhou?

He has been pretending to be diligent in government affairs for a long time, but now he really regards himself as a good official. "

"Hehe~

Hahaha~"

Su Jing laughed abruptly.

Raising his hand and pointing at Cui Xianshou, he jokingly said, "Old Cui.

With your greedy appearance, you have the face to laugh at others for not being a good official?

You really are a crow that landed on a pig, you can't see yourself being black, right? "

Cui Xianshou didn't mind accompanying him with a smile, and replied contemptuously: "Your Highness.

Although Lao Cui was greedy for money and lustful, he never pretended to be a good official in front of the people.

This Zheng Shanguo was quite different.

He works in the yamen on weekdays, and his lunch is brought from home, and he will never take advantage of the imperial court.

His mother worked hard day and night, and never missed the weaving and washing.

When the common people saw this, they all said that he was an upright official who was diligent in governing and caring for the people.

But after his mother passed away a few years ago, he changed in the blink of an eye.

Not only is he greedy, but he secretly seeks the people's fat and people's anointing.

It is even more plundering and plundering, allowing relatives to rob people's land.

In less than three years of effort, his family's wealth is already comparable to that of my old Cui.

However, the people under his rule did not know the truth, and still regarded him as an upright official for the country and the people.

Once encountering difficulties, they are all willing to go to the government office to file a complaint.

But they don't know that the person sitting in the lobby is the mastermind who caused all of today's events. "

"Um?!"

Su Jing's expression darkened when he heard this, and anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Although he knew Zheng Shanguo's hypocrisy, he didn't know it was so serious.

Putting aside greed, after all, the common people of the Tang Dynasty did not have much surplus money to be looted by him.

But robbing people's property is something he cannot tolerate.

In the early years of Zhenguan, when farming was the mainstay, how would the people who lost their fields survive?

But Cui Xianshou exposed Zheng Shanguo in this way, obviously he didn't have good intentions.

I think it's more about wanting to borrow a knife to kill someone.

"Old Cui.

Next, do you want to tell Ben Gong that Zheng Shanguo proposed to embarrass Ben Gong when you discussed how to deal with it today?

If you hadn't tried your best to dissuade him, he would have succeeded at this moment? "

"Your Highness is wise!"

Cui Xianshou replied with a smile.

Su Jing laughed loudly when he saw it, waved his hands and said, "Tell me, how do you want to harm me?"
