Chapter 415

There has never been a simple statement about a country, especially when the emperor of Zhou was about to pass on the throne, it was not royal blood. In fact, even if it was the royal blood, if it was not for those princes, there would be some disturbance, even if it was not the legitimate eldest son, some people would be dissatisfied.

It is even more absurd to say that the emperor of the state of Zhou is going to pass the throne to Xie Ying.

After accepting this fact, many people expressed their disappointment. Li Ji was the first minister in the Zhou Dynasty, and Xie should be the head of the martial arts. Now they can say vaguely that they are on the same front, so there should be no problem. At least those ministers in the court can not say anything openly.

Even if there are still kneeling dizzy ministers, even if there are still crying, in essence, it can not change anything.

However, whether it is a dynasty or a small country, the real decision-making power lies not in the hands of the emperors sitting on the throne, nor the ministers, but in the hands of the gatekeepers who control all walks of life.

For some reason, or because of the promises made by the princes, they did not want Xie Ying to be the emperor. Some ministers were even more worried that Xie Ying, as a military general, became emperor of the state of Zhou. From then on, the status of the military men rose.

That was not what they wanted to see, so they soon twisted into a rope.

……

……

There is a Wu mountain in the suburb of Beijing. It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a granary.

The whole mountain was hollowed out, and there was a lot of grain in the mountain. In the past years, when the state of Zhou started its army, the Hubu department would come here with money to buy grain, not to recruit.

Because the owner of this granary is Anle Hou.

Anle Hou is a hereditary nobility.

Zhou rarely granted Marquises. Even if they were, they were empty posts and had no real power. However, those aristocratic families who enjoyed the title of nobility had been in the state of Zhou for a long time and held many things. For example, the Anle Marquis controlled most of the grain sales of the state of Zhou. The court tried to take back the business several times, but failed to do so.

After all, no one wants to spit out the meat they eat.

It is a very complicated thing to govern the state affairs. Some people say that governing the country is like cooking a little fresh food.

This is the truth.

Anyhow, Anle Hou was the biggest grain merchant in Zhou.

The granary of Wushan has never been empty, whether it was during the fierce war or at any other time.

Every day, grain comes in and grain goes out.

This granary is the supply place for the grain merchants of Shaoliang city.

No one ever thought about what would go wrong here.

But something happened today.

The grain in Wushan granary was suddenly cut off.

This makes the innumerable grain businesses in Shaoliang City scared.

Many shopkeepers sent people to Wushan to check, and the final result was a word.

"Wu mountain is empty."

Wu mountain is really empty.

Before that, Anle Hou spent countless labors to excavate this mountain for grain. At that time, the mountain was empty, but now the mountain is empty, not because of anything else, but because there is no grain in the mountain.

Naturally, the grain of such a mountain can not be sold out because of selling.

However, not only the business owners, but also the people coming from the government did not find out where the lost grain was. When checking the accounts, it was found that the grain in the granary of Wushan mountain had been sold out.

The accounts are perfect, no one can find any problems, and no one knows. The original accounts show that there has been no new grain in this granary for a whole month.

Wu Shan did not say whether there will be grain supply in the future, nor when there will be any more grain. In any case, it is definitely not available now.

This made a lot of things happen in Shaoliang city.

For example, the grain prices of commercial banks have increased.

For example, limited supply.

Soon all the people in Shaoliang City knew that there was no grain in Wushan. Many people began to store grain, and the more farmers settled down, the higher the price would be.

In the autumn, the grain of this city has risen to half a Liang silver a catty.

You know, before, only a dozen Wen can buy a catty.

People in Shaoliang city were in a panic, and many people no longer paid attention to who was the emperor.

I don't know why after the emperor's edict was issued, there was no following. The general Xie had been living in seclusion and had never seen him at the court meeting or in the marketplace.

He seems to have disappeared.

Only some maids know that Xie's general occasionally goes into the palace to talk to Princess Anyang.

In Anyang palace.

Princess Anyang frowned and said, "my father wants you to be emperor. If you don't deal with all these things well, the Zhou parliament will be in chaos."

In the edict of the emperor of Zhou, Xie Ying was only the Regent, but everyone knew that it was no different from the emperor.Xie Ying pressed the handle of the knife, feeling complicated, "I'm also a little confused."

He said that some Meng was not humble words, but was really a little muddled. When he went back to Beijing to report his duties, he only wanted to reject the emperor's Majesty's idea. Then he would see Princess Anyang again, and then he would return to the frontier. However, he did not expect to stay here and wait to become the new emperor of Zhou.

Fortunately, he wrote back to the frontier and said that everything was OK. Otherwise, he would have gone back.

Princess Anyang said, "if we go on like this, we will all be starved to death."

Yes, they have to starve to death.

Anyou's Wushan granary has no grain, either intentionally or unintentionally, but it has become a fact. However, since it has become a fact, this is an excellent business opportunity. It happens that when others come to occupy Shaoliang City, someone should come forward. After all, Anle Hou controls most of the grain in the country, but not all of it.

I don't know why. I haven't come forward.

Everyone was silent.

No grain of grain was taken to Shaoliang city.

Many people understand that it's not just about buying and selling.

This is the response of the aristocratic family to his majesty.

They didn't want to thank Ying for being emperor.

Some of the princes were smiling.

After all, this is the scene they all want to see.

Some ministers were worried that this would make the Zhou state unstable.

It's just that before this matter is handled well, everyone knows that there will always be a stalemate.

……

……

The grain supply in Shaoliang city is becoming less and less. Even the big families have cut down their grain consumption. Some small families even have to eat rice porridge.

They don't have money. They just can't buy rice.

An official who supported the emperor's edict and had no background looked at the rice soup in his bowl which was too thin to be thinner any more. He said sadly, "how long will such a day last?"

His daughter-in-law, a gentle southern woman, used to be gentle and pleasant, but now her cheekbones are protruding from hunger, and she looks a little old. Now, with his temper, she is also a little angry. She threw the bowl and chopsticks and said, "master, you have to take care of this matter!"

This official is only a five grade official. He is a small person. He doesn't have to listen to what he says. What should I do?

Even he was helpless.

It's just that in this world, there must be someone who can take care of it, such as the Anle Hou.

As long as he opens his mouth and lets the grain appear, it will appear.

But would he?

……

……

Lord Anle's residence is in Shaoliang City, but this Marquis has always lived in the suburbs of Beijing. In his words, Shaoliang city has too many people, and he will be annoyed. It is better to live in the suburbs, with good air and fewer people.

His house in the suburbs of Beijing is not big, but it is definitely not small.

There is a large lake in the courtyard. There are countless Koi in the lake. There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Now he stood in the pavilion and watched the koi swimming in the lake.

Naturally, someone behind me reported the current situation of Shaoliang city.

He nodded his head from time to time to express his appreciation.

Naturally, there will be food, but if the emperor's edict is not withdrawn, it will not appear.

This is his agreement with a certain prince. He can do a lot of things for him. When the prince becomes the emperor, he can also do many things for him.

In this world, how many things are not without benefits?

How many things are not mutually beneficial?

I don't know.

Anle Hou has been in his seventies, and there are many sons under his knee. It is a puzzle for him to whom to pass the title. After all, there are too many sons and there are no special ones that he likes. His abilities are similar.

He opened his mouth and said, "when there is no food, Shaoliang city will panic. When everything stops behind, will they despair? In ordinary times, their scholars have always looked down on us businessmen. Have they ever thought about how they can live so safely without us?"

The man behind him didn't speak, just listening quietly.

"Your Majesty wants to pass the throne to Xie Ying, which is good. Xie Ying is the head of the Xie family and a general. In terms of talent, he is much higher than those princes, but he is too bad. When he became an emperor, few people felt comfortable. Since he could not live comfortably, we would not agree."

This is not his own idea, or the idea of many people. Those people are not insignificant people, so this idea is very important and represents many people.

But the young man in white behind him didn't think so. He had a sword hanging around his waist, and his hair was well combed. His figure was very slim. No matter who looked at it, he would feel good.

If he shows some magic power and shows some sword flowers to others, he will naturally call him a great Xia.He listened carefully to the two words of Anle Hou, and then felt that there was some trouble.

He stayed in Shaoliang city for several months without doing anything. Later, he heard that the residence of Anle Hou was in the suburb of Beijing. He came to see it and heard these two words.

He seemed to understand something.

The white robed young man thought for a moment, "what do you think if I must thank you for being emperor?"
