Chapter 131 The Xie Family Falls

Song Mo's first words were, "You two, the father and daughter of the Lu family, are really bold." You dare to use the will to negotiate conditions? !

Lu Songli thought, it's just a deal, you have to get used to it.

But on the surface, he said, "There's no way, it's all for survival." If you don't give us a way to survive, we can earn it ourselves, is there a problem?

Lu Songli found that Song Mo and the Queen Mother were still very similar as a pair of grandparents and grandchildren. They couldn't tolerate any offense, but she was very stingy.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Song Mo asked lightly.

"Why don't you take a look at this first, Your Highness?" Lu Songli put the information in his hand on the table, then pushed it over and left his hand.

In this information, there are the property of the two families of Guan, Xie and Zhao that she has collected these days, as well as the criminal facts of the main members of the faction.

Song Mo suppressed his irritability and took the information to read it, but after just one glance, he sat up straight. He looked deeply at Lv Songli opposite him, then lowered his head again, flipped through the information first, then turned it back, and picked out some key points to read.

After reading it, Song Mo lowered his eyes. He didn't expect that the Xie and Zhao families were so fat, especially the Xie family, which actually stored so much grain and gold and silver. Sure enough, these noble families should not be underestimated.

Lv Songli has been observing the fourth prince. Although he has been trying to keep a straight face and not show his emotions, Lv Songli can still see that he is moved.

Yes, after the fourth prince ascended the throne, the first problem that gave him a headache was the empty treasury.

In recent years, Dali has not been a year of good weather and good harvests. From time to time, droughts, floods, earthquakes, snowstorms and other disasters have occurred frequently, and every year, grain and funds have to be withdrawn for disaster relief. In addition, the war on the border has never been completely quelled. When Emperor Kangcheng was in power, the treasury had been struggling to support the country's various expenditures.

Song Mo also found out that the treasury, which was a money bag and a grain bag, was empty when he became the successor. Before he officially ascended the throne, Song Mo realized that this family was not easy to run. This is why he was already in prison just now, and he still indulged Wu Chunyu and Meng Xinliang to continue to force the Qin family. It's all because of lack of money.

"You want me to deal with the Xie and Zhao families? Did your father agree to this?" If this is a condition of exchange, did your father agree?

Song Mo looked at Lu Songli. How did she get such secret information? It turned out that Zhao Wenkuan had a secret transaction with foreigners during his tenure as the Minister of Honglu Temple! There are also industries and wealth hidden in the dark of the Xie and Zhao families, which are clearly marked on it. The Xie family and the Lu family have been engaged, and it is normal for the Lu family to know about it. But what about the Zhao family? This made him doubt that the information was actually collected by the Qin family and the Lu family, and then she came forward to discuss it?

Lu Songli laughed, she naturally knew what he was asking.

But he thought too simply of her. Xie Zhan is now a burden to him, right? Using him will affect his reputation. If he doesn't use him, how will other ministers see him? It can be said that Xie Zhan now really puts Song Mo in a dilemma.

And she provided Song Mo with such an excellent solution. Killing two birds with one stone, she didn't believe that Song Mo would not be tempted.

Xue Huaimin had planned for him for many years before, and he said he would throw it away, didn't he? She didn't believe that he would have deep feelings for Xie Zhan.

Now, he obviously wanted to deal with the Xie and Zhao families, but now he used it to negotiate conditions with her. What good things is he thinking? The abacus beads are too loud.

But it's good this way, it's really good that he doesn't take her seriously.

So, Lu Songli replied, "No, it's up to the Fourth Prince to decide whether to deal with the Xie and Zhao families. How can a commoner like me interfere?"

Song Mo knew that he had made a wrong calculation now, "What do you mean?"

"We are helping the Fourth Prince to relieve his worries. Of course, this is also for the sake of our Qin family. In this way, Lord Wu doesn't have to embarrass us because of the money spent by the Qin family on the wedding."

The Fourth Prince wanted to take the property of the two Xie families, so he needed a reason. He just wanted a name to punish him.

Lu Songli thought, I showed you how fat the sheep is, and I handed you the knife. If you don't kill those two fat sheep, there's no need to catch our Qin family, which has been slaughtered once, and continue to pull it, right?

Besides, Fourth Prince, eating one family is not as perfect as eating all three families?

The Xie family fell, and the new emperor was full. She didn't believe he wouldn't be tempted.

Song Mo understood her hint, but he didn't want to discuss this issue with her. If he continued, it would make him look ugly.

"Just tell me your conditions."

"I want to ask the Fourth Prince to let the Qin family go to the exile place."

Song Mo pondered. Indeed, it was not easy to kill the Qin family. The reason why they were detained was because of the property that the Qin family might hide. Now that there were fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered by the Xie and Zhao families, it was not meaningful to detain the Qin family. And it was not impossible to use this condition to exchange for the will in Lu Desheng's hand.

"I am just a prince. How can I be so sure?" Song Mo's words were full of temptation. Is the will really in your father's hands?

"Don't belittle yourself, Fourth Prince. Who else can do this world but you?" Lu Songli gave him a definite answer.

Song Mo was really very happy after hearing this.

Then he pondered and said, "The information you submitted is considered a meritorious service. The Qin family has always been the pillars of the border defense. It would be a pity to exile them. If I am lucky... I may show leniency later." Song Mo found that this family seemed to be quite useful. They solved a big problem for him with just one move.

Lu Songli said to her heart, "Goodbye." But as soon as he opened the topic, she just gave Xie Zhan some eye drops!

"Your Majesty, Fourth Highness, the Qin family has neglected its duty. The confiscation of the family and the exile are the orders of the late Emperor. I dare not disobey it. Even if Your Highness, Fourth Highness, has good intentions, it is hard to go against the will of the late Emperor at this time, right?"

In fact, when he heard these two sentences, Song Mo really gave up the idea of ​​using the Qin family now.

"And to be honest, my husband and his brothers and my husband have gone through so much and they just want to live a peaceful and stable life in a remote place like Pingzhou. They are not as capable and famous as Sir Xie Zhanxie. Ambition can greatly assist the king."

Hearing Lu Songli's praise, Song Mo's eyes narrowed. Is he extremely capable? Yes, Xie Zhan is indeed very capable. Even a powerful minister like Xue Huaimin was defeated by him with a little trick.

Then we have great ambitions. What kind of ambitions can be called great ambitions? Is the power overwhelming?

He was still regretting that after disposing of the Xie family, he would lose a great talent like Xie Zhan.

But Lu Songli's words made Song Mo realize that Xie Zhan would never be better with Xue Huaimin. If this person is not eliminated, he will definitely become a disaster. By then, will his voice become the only hall in the court?

"Finally, after His Majesty the Fourth Prince ascends the throne, he will be rich all over the world, and the talents who want to serve the new emperor will definitely come after him. Why should we care about the small Qin family?" She was actually saying, why should we care about the little Xie Zhan?

Talents are just consumables. One Xie Zhan is gone, but if you want, there will be thousands of Xie Zhans to serve you. So, don’t deal with the Xie family carelessly. Lu Songli instilled this concept in him.

"My Highness remembers that Xie Zhan was once your fiancé, and we have been in love with him for so many years. Isn't it inappropriate for you to praise him so much in front of His Highness?"

"In the end, isn't it going to make you have a wife and a husband?"

Song Mo had already realized that she was giving Xie Zhan eye drops, but it had to be said that Lu Songli's words also touched his heart. Only by getting rid of him can he have the final say in this dynasty. He didn't put so much effort into finding a mother-in-law for himself.

Moreover, the rumors about Xie Zhan in the past two days also made him very angry. Who told him to behave badly?

When he thought about the fact that he held so many responsibilities for the core members of the Xie family, and on the premise that Xie Zhanli had served the dragon, Song Mo felt no psychological burden at all when dealing with the Xie family.

"Is this the only condition?" Song Mo asked.

"Yes." His question made it seem like he could put forward more conditions, but Lu Songli didn't believe it. She took out the death-free gold medal from her arms and put it on the table, "Your Highness, if Our Qin family has arrived in Pingzhou safely, and the death-free gold medal can be returned to you."

Although she and Qin Heng had made corresponding preparations, it would not be bad if they could make him let down his guard. Moreover, Emperor Kang Cheng is dead. In fact, this death-free gold medal is of little use. Instead, it has become a hot potato. It might as well be returned.

"You Mr. and Mrs. Lu are really good at talking." Song Mo stood up with the information and walked out while talking.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Highness, has given you the award."

Song Mo's mouth twitched slightly, was that a compliment?

Lu Songli said to his back, "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, if there was any offense just now, please forgive me."

"You are quite aware of current affairs." Song Mo's voice came.

What Lu Songli thought in her heart was that she had no choice but to lower her head under the eaves, but she said, "No matter what, we are all the people of Dali. My father and the Lu family have always been deeply favored by Emperor Sejong." Well, we just want to live."

"The Qin family will arrive in Pingzhou smoothly."

Song Mo agreed to their conditions.

Lu Songli also said, "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, will surely make all your wishes come true."

These words made Song Mo, who had already reached the door, look back at her.

Lu Songli looked at him calmly. Song Mo understood that what she just said did mean what he thought. Does she know who has the third edict, or does she mean that the third edict and the second edict are in the Lu family together?

What Lu Songli said was indeed what he guessed. If her prediction was correct, the third edict should be in the hands of Zhijin Wu Lin Ran. It won't be long before it appears.

Jinwu (yu), Jinwu is a copper rod coated with gold at both ends. Hold Jinwu to show your authority. It is said that you hold gold to control the abnormal.

Just watch, as soon as this second edict appears, the third will definitely appear. Even if the second edict does not appear, the third will soon.

Emperor Kang Cheng had no plans left. He allowed her father to use the imperial edict in exchange for some benefits, but he would never let him shake the country.
