"Is it a dream?" Emperor Ning had a splitting headache.
"It's a dream!" Li De'an said firmly.
In the early morning of the next day, it was morning.
Emperor Ning glanced at Zongzheng Fusu who had just returned to the capital, and asked, "Fusu, I heard that you returned in a big victory, but I don't know where are the four families in Lingdong with more than a thousand people now?"
"It's enclosed in Nanning City." Zongzheng Fusu raised his eyes and said calmly.
"Why didn't you take them back to the capital?!" Yu Chimo frowned, "Father, the four major families in Lingdong rebelled, and they committed a serious crime of punishing the nine clans! The crime is unforgivable! Father should put them in prison, choose Daily question cut! According to Erchen, His Royal Highness Prince Gong left them in Nanning City, clearly to protect them, and I don’t know why?!”
Yu Chimo was already afraid of the 30,000 forbidden troops in the hands of Zongzheng Fusu, but now that the military power of the 20,000 rebels in Lingdong is also in his hands, it is even more uncomfortable! Only when Emperor Ning disposed of those 20,000 horses, could he feel at ease.
"Then what does His Highness the Crown Prince think?" Zongzheng Fusu turned his body slightly, his indifferent eyes revealing a trace of disdain.
"The treasury is empty right now, it's time to spend money!" Yu Chimo's voice paused.
Zongzheng Fusu looked at him quietly, with a mocking smile on his lips. He, the third brother, has always had such a temperament! Everything is done quickly, and the consequences are never considered. He has a few skills in fighting for power, but governing the country... I'm afraid he will only end up being a tyrant in the end!
"So?" He glanced sideways.
"The four big families in Lingdong are so fat." Yu Chimo turned around and looked at Emperor Ning, "Father only needs to copy four of them, and he will have enough money to build Jiangling Dam!"
Emperor Ning nodded thoughtfully, "The prince makes some sense."
"Your Majesty, building a Jiangling dam only saves Lingdong." Zongzheng Fusu chuckled, "The floods in Lingxi are managed in an orderly manner, and it is time to spend money. No matter how much property the four families in Lingdong have , it’s not enough to let the hundreds of thousands of people in Lingdong and Lingxi have no worries about food and clothing? Even if the flood is overcome, this year’s grain harvest will not be expected, and the people will starve to death by then? At that time, His Majesty will have to open warehouses to release grain, and once again face the problem of an empty treasury! Isn’t it a vicious circle?”
Emperor Ning frowned.
Zongzheng Fusu said again, "This is just a natural disaster! What if the people in the east and west of the mountains rebelled together?! What if the small border countries also took the opportunity to attack? The marriage between His Royal Highness King Ning and the two countries of Chu and Wei will also be ruined." Now, what if there is another moth in Chu State and Wei State? When the time comes, there will be internal and external troubles, will His Majesty take care of it? Copying the four families in Lingdong and killing more than a thousand people from him will only leave His Majesty with a tyrant Reputation, the rest of the problems, none of them can be solved!"
"Zongzheng Fusu, don't confuse the crowd!" Yu Chimo refuted with all his might, thinking about the 20,000 rebels.
Emperor Ning raised his eyes, and then gave him a hard look, "Prince! Shut up! I've thought about it again and again, but what Fusu said makes sense. Copying the four families in Lingdong will not only fail to save people, but will only make everyone in Lingdong panic!"
Yuchimo was deflated, and quickly lowered his head.
Zongzheng Fusu said again, "Your Majesty, I couldn't think of what to do with the four families in Lingdong, and I was afraid that the actions would be too big and disturb the people, so I temporarily controlled them in Nanning City. His Royal Highness said that I was protecting them. This humble minister is really wronged—”
"It's the prince who is stupid. I have never doubted Fusu you."
