Concubine's poisonous plot

Chapter 276 Su Wenshan’s plan

Xiao Jinyao's proposal had obviously been well thought out. These ministers looked at each other. They did not help polish the basically complete plan that had just been proposed. Instead, they had been opposing it. It was indeed a bit embarrassing.

The emperor did not interrupt, but still gave Xiao Jinyao a chance to continue.

Xiao Jinyao did have something to say, after all, Shu Yunzhao taught him a lot last night.

"Do you know, sir, that apart from a pension from the court for those soldiers who died in battle, do you have any special care for the wives, children and children they left behind?"

An adult spoke frankly and said: "Haven't we already been given a death pension? Isn't this preferential treatment?"

Xiao Jinyao glared at him, as if looking at a dirty thing.

"So you think the imperial court is buying the lives of these people to help us guard the door and safety, right?"

The minister said: "This is not an analogy. Everyone has different roles and contributions to the court. Generals and soldiers are different, civil servants and generals are even different. There is no need to unify a standard. This is not the most appropriate way. "

Xiao Jinyao looked at his sour and rotten look and knew that his usual behavior was only about pomp and not efficiency.

If there are too many people like this, the reputation of the court will deteriorate.

"So you think you are nobler than military generals, and your children are also superior, right? From now on, the common people in the world will be divided into three, six, and nine grades. The sons of civil servants will be in the first grade, the sons of military generals will be in the second grade, and scholars will be in the second grade. The son of a soldier is third class, and the son of a soldier is fourth class. Is this what you mean?"

Xiao Jinyao's ability to summarize was so powerful that the official was stunned.

Like Lu Jingzhi just now, he wanted to refute but found that what the other party said was what he was thinking.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace. Didn't this gentleman learn this when he was in school? There are no soldiers who sacrifice their families and guard the borders. You pedantic and hypocritical people really wait until the war breaks out and dress up and go to the front line to recite a few famous works. , or they are mocking the opponent's army and horses, they are all a group of low-level generals, go back quickly, not only do they not dare to kill you, but they will kneel down and kowtow to you, right?"

Xiao Jinyao's example left the opposition faction headed by Lu Jingzhi speechless.

Under Xiao Jinyao's arrangement, they had just offended all the generals present, even those who were usually neutral but really cared about the people and the court.

"Since you have become an official, you must think about your purpose of becoming an official, which is to make the people live better, not to make your own life easier and without difficulties, nor to treat the people because of personal grievances with certain people. If your livelihood is used as a bargaining chip, who do you think you are?"

Xiao Jinyao's last question made the scene extremely quiet for an instant.

The emperor looked at his nephew with admiration. He was really an eye-opener today.

Xiao Yian once again found an opportunity to speak: "Father, I have benefited a lot from listening to this for a long time. This method can indeed make the soldiers more motivated to serve the country and have no worries... The world belongs to the father, and so does the world. In this world of common people, if we can be kind to those who help us defend our borders and expand our territory, this is indeed a responsibility for us..."

After he said this, some ministers in the court who were optimistic about his future position in the East Palace also agreed, which made Lu Jingzhi and others even more passive.

Xiao Jinyao didn't look at Xiao Yian. He insisted on popping up this kind of thing about taking credit, and he still enjoyed it, which was inconsistent with his three views.

"Your Majesty, I would like to hear Su Hou's opinion."

Su Wenshan sighed in his heart. This should have been his son-in-law. If he had not broken off the relationship with Shu Yunzhao, the current popular prince in the court and the influential prince concubine in the people would all be the help of their Su family. .

The more he thought about this, the more he felt that he should shake hands with Shu Yunzhao and make peace.

You must find a way to get her to agree to what you told Wang Zuomei before. This is very important to the Su family.

Thinking of this, his attitude also changed.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I have just reflected on myself. It is true that I am a little divorced from the real environment and too idealistic. Soldiers are also human beings, and they also have parents, wives and children. If I can't take care of my own family, how can I do it? I protect everyone wholeheartedly, so the prince’s suggestion is really eye-catching. However, Lu Shangshu’s worries are not unreasonable. I believe that the prince will not care about these so-called doubts. It is precisely because of these doubts that It will make this plan more complete and benefit the people, so I believe that both the Crown Prince and Lu Shangshu are right. As long as this plan is detailed enough and feasible, we can give it a try."

Xiao Yian was ignored by Xiao Jinyao one after another and did not show any anger. What he wanted was a sense of presence, not an alliance with Xiao Jinyao now.

"Father, my son and minister second my opinion."

"I second the proposal..."

More and more people find this suggestion acceptable.

Lu Jingzhi was lifted up by Su Wenshan's answer, which did not disgrace him.

This kind of art of speaking not only gave Xiao Jinyao a break, but also prevented him from offending his in-laws, making Lu Jingzhi think that he had no choice but to compromise, and he also didn't forget to give him a hand. The mind of Su Wenshan, a military general, is really suitable for fooling around. imperial court.

After seeing such a heated debate, the emperor almost unanimously supported Xiao Jinyao, which was somewhat surprising.

King An was the same, always thinking about what he should say if they let him speak.

Xiao Luofan was even more confused. This brother's brilliance was enough to cover him up.

Under the current halo of Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao, he is like a fly spinning around the lamp, which is annoying...

He lowered his head, feeling that he shouldn't have come today.

Mr. Du Qiandu from the Household Department watched this scene and supported Xiao Jinyao from the bottom of his heart.

He was both shocked and admired. The Crown Princess's starting point was the original intention that those of them who had been officials for so long had slowly forgotten.

The emperor did not hesitate anymore and said: "Since everyone has no objections, Yao'er, ask Yun Zhao to write another detailed plan and plan for me when we go back, so that we can discuss it together."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Initially, everyone thought that this would be the end of the day, but from far away, they heard a voice: "Report!"

Everyone was a little surprised. In this situation, something usually happened at the border.

The man quickly arrived at the temple and knelt in the center.

"Your Majesty, we have just received an emergency report from the border of Western Qin. When a group of Western Qin people were returning home through the border, an accident suddenly occurred. Wu Qinggui, who had been suddenly killed, came back to life and threatened to kidnap Princess Huiyue. Fortunately, he was caught by the border. The guard rescued him, but Wu Qinggui had already escaped..."

Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder Wu Qinggui, the long history official from the Western Qin Dynasty, made all kinds of arrogant remarks after he came to Daxia. It turned out that he had already planned to cheat his death and then go where he wanted to go...
