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

Chapter 277

"My minister Cui Liang pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Jing got off the boat first.

The chief civil servant immediately stepped forward and bowed to worship.

He is the governor of Yangzhou from the third rank, and he was also a majestic person in Yangzhou city in the past.

But facing a super prince like Su Jing today, his official position is obviously not worth mentioning.

"Master Cui, you don't have to be polite."

Su Jing sat on the horse calmly, smiling and raising his right hand.

Cui Liang straightened up when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "My minister learned that His Royal Highness and the Empress are coming to Yangzhou, and specially prepared a banquet in the city.

I don't know what your highness and empress think? "

Su Jing was taken aback when he heard the words, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly unintentionally.

If he came here alone today, Cui Liang would hold a banquet in advance, so it's all right.

But now that the eldest grandson empress is accompanying him, Cui Liang's move seems a bit inappropriate.

After all, it was only heard that the emperor and the empress held a banquet for his confidant ministers, but how did you ever hear that the court officials invited the emperor and the empress to a banquet?

This Cui Liang either suffers from brain disease, or has other plans.

It's just that as the governor of Huainan Road, the next state, would he be so stupid?

Seeing Su Jing's hesitant expression, Cui Liang secretly winked at the person behind him.

Seeing this, the latter nodded, took a step forward and said, "Guo Cheng, a grassroots man, pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Ok?"

Su Jingjian's eyes became more and more confused.

Under the governor, there are Biejia, Changshi and Sima each.

Now that Yangzhou officials haven't come to visit, when will it be the turn of a white-clothed grassroots?

"Get up."

Su Jing put away his doubts, pointed at Guo Cheng and asked indifferently: "Lord Cui, who is this?"

"Back to Your Highness.

Guo Cheng is the head of the business alliance in the city, and he has always been famous for doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

Nine out of ten of my Yangzhou people have received his favor, and they all call him a good man and a living god on weekdays. "

Cui Liang was all smiles.

Guo Cheng straightened his chest unconsciously.

Seeing this, Su Jing secretly laughed.

He nodded and looked at Guo Cheng, and asked seriously: "Are you really a good person from Yangzhou?"

"Back to Your Highness.

This is the absurd praise of the people, and the grassroots are really ashamed. "

Guo Cheng stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

Su Jing seemed to have never heard of it, and then asked: "So.

If the people suffer from a disaster, are you willing to give porridge to the people? "

"Uh……"

Guo Cheng was taken aback when he heard the words, not knowing what Su Jing meant.

But thinking about the hundreds of people behind him, he could only bite the bullet and reply: "If the people are unfortunately affected by the disaster, the grass people will naturally be willing to set up a shed to give porridge!"

"That's a great word!"

Su Jing laughed exaggeratedly, and said loudly: "Since I stepped into Huainan Road, I have often seen that the people have no food to eat and no clothes to cover their bodies.

Since Guo Cheng, you are willing to give porridge to the victims of the disaster, tomorrow you will mobilize [-] shi of grain to go to the state capitals for disaster relief.

Don't worry.

You have such a kind deed, this palace will definitely play a memorial to your father for you, and ask for a plaque of a living god for you.

In the future, if any Yangzhou official dares to make things difficult for you, just show him the plaque. "

"what!!!"

Guo Cheng opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

One hundred thousand stones of food and grass will cost tens of thousands of guan.

If it is a large-scale centralized acquisition, it is very likely to reach tens of thousands.

Su Jing asked him to spend so much money with a small mouth, and he would not agree no matter what.

As for the so-called Living Immortal Plaque, he even scoffed at it.

Even if there is no such thing, do Yangzhou officials still dare to make things difficult for him?

"how?

you are not willing?

Could it be that just now you and Master Cui were looking for fun in this palace?

You are so brave! "

Su Jing didn't wait for the two to speak, and suddenly waved: "Zhao Quan!

Take this deceitful person to me!

After I report to my mother later, I will decapitate it for public display at noon tomorrow! "

"The last will obey!"

Zhao Quan drew his saber and stood up, calling the guards to step forward.

Cui Liang was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "I am wronged!

Your Highness, I have been wronged! "

"Humph!

The two of you have fooled me so much, how dare you call for injustice at this moment? "

"His Royal Highness, ah!

How dare a humble minister fool His Highness! "

Cui Liang rolled his eyes, raised his head suddenly and said, "His Royal Highness.

It's not that Guo Cheng doesn't want to fool His Highness with disaster relief.

It's just that [-] shi of food and grass is not a small number, and it may be difficult to raise it for a while. "

"Oh?

really? "

Su Jing looked at Guo Cheng with a sneer, his eyes full of cold killing intent.

A snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings.

Although he didn't want to reveal the purpose of this trip too early.

But if he can take the opportunity to get rid of the leader of the salt merchant, he is willing to take some risks.

"Guo Cheng!

How dare you be so rude in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Do not respond quickly! "

Seeing Guo Cheng's hesitation, Cui Liang urgently urged him loudly.

As a branch of the Cui family, he is well aware of Su Jing's name, and he also knows that his methods are ruthless and have no taboos.

If he really angered Su Jing, he couldn't guarantee whether he would care about their identities.

"Grassmen...

I would like to follow His Royal Highness' orders!

At noon the next day, the grass people will definitely offer one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass with their own hands! "

"it is good!"

Guo Cheng lowered his head and kept cursing in his heart.

But Su Jing clapped his hands and laughed, as if he got his beloved toy.

Presumably, if it is not someone who knows him very well, he will definitely treat this matter as a child's play.

"Wait a minute!"

At this moment.

A carriage slowly approached the crowd.Empress Changsun lifted a corner of the car curtain and said in a clear voice: "Jing Er, how can you be so greedy?

One hundred thousand stones of food and grass is not a small number, even a wealthy family will be hurt by it.

Although Guo Cheng wanted to help the disaster victims for the court, he didn't need to give up his money like this.

In my opinion, let's reduce or exempt [-] stones. "

"Thank you, Empress!

Thank you Queen! "

Guo Cheng heard the words, and sincerely worshiped without waiting for Su Jing to speak.

At this moment, Empress Changsun is in his heart, just now is the living bodhisattva who saves suffering.

Saving [-] shi all of a sudden, even people like him are very excited.

"Hehe~"

Seeing this, Su Jing chuckled and smacked his lips.

She really deserves to be the number one empress through the ages.

This method of manipulating people's hearts is obviously better than him.

Not only did Guo Cheng resolve the anger in Guo Cheng's heart with a few words, but it also made him feel grateful to himself.

That exempts [-] shi, but avoids the language art of paying [-] shi.

It is even more similar to loss aversion in psychology.

It seems that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

Think about it here.

Su Jing shook his head again, smiled and clapped his hands and replied, "I will do everything according to my mother's orders."

"Great!"

Empress Changsun smiled sweetly, put down the curtain and asked, "Cui Shi.

Before this palace left Beijing, His Majesty had issued an order to convey to all the states and counties.

It has been more than ten days now, I don't know if the palace of Gaomin Temple has been tidied up? "

"Go back to your mother, the palace of Gaomin Temple has been tidied up three days ago.

Rich merchants in Yangzhou searched for exotic flowers and plants from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and built a good place for the empress to enjoy the scenery. "

Cui Liang bowed back with a smile.

Empress Changsun nodded when she heard the words, and said loudly: "In that case, then get up and drive back to the palace.

Your lords are busy with government affairs, so you don't need to follow me today.

After I rest for a few days, I will order the prince to meet you on my behalf. "

"The minister obeys the order!"

A group of Yangzhou officials responded in unison.

Quietly raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

So far, the matter of Shicai still makes everyone feel lingering fear, how dare they stay by Su Jing's side at this time.

It's just that small officials can leave, but Cui Liang and other state officials dare not take the words of Empress Changsun seriously.

Seeing the carriage going straight ahead, he could only follow carefully behind.

"Jing Er, what you did just now was really too much.

Once spread, it will be of no benefit to you in the future. "

After walking forward for a while, Empress Changsun's voice came leisurely.

Su Jing lowered his head annoyed, and replied in a deep voice: "My child knows I was wrong.

Just because a businessman dares to be above Changshi and Biejia, it really makes the child feel upset. "

"Hehe~

Since you have already prepared, why bother to be so angry. "

"Hey~

This matter still needs the help of the queen mother.

Otherwise, the little fat man might not agree. "

"This is a good thing, my mother will naturally help you.

But if you dare to scheme against Qingque, your mother will never let you go! "

"Don't worry, the queen mother, save the child."
