Nine Hundred and Sixtieth IX Princess Sixteen
Meng Li covered half of his face with his hands and took a deep breath.
Feeling a toothache.
Changhong Fu really took great pains. In order to play with her, he even went back to China to launch a coup d'etat.
However, Meng Li seemed to think that this matter was not purely for her, the Chang family had already had this plan.
And the emperor was unhappy because Changhong Fu was arrested and then bleeded to redeem Changhong Fu at one time. He had a disagreement with the Chang family, and there might even be irreconcilable conflicts. The Chang family took advantage of the situation.
The emperor called Meng Li over and asked calmly:
"Queen, what do you think?"
Meng Li bowed, the emperor pointed to the wine and food beside him, Meng Li stepped forward and knelt on the ground, glanced at the food in front of him, didn't move, just said:
"The father and the emperor have gone, and the mother and concubine of the minister and sister have also left early. Now the marriage of the emperor's sister is decided by the emperor's brother."
The emperor sighed and said:
"It's mainly up to you, after all, it's your marriage."
Meng Li: "My sister is still young, I really don't know how to make decisions about this kind of thing."
The two of them kicked the ball in the same way.
Meng Li felt that the emperor was a little bit waiting for her to be willing and willing to marry for Yan Guo, which showed that he was benevolent and not forcing others.
But she doesn't say it.
"Now that the Chang family is covering the sky with one hand in the country of Zheng, the emperor is like a fake, and I don't know when the country of Zheng will change hands." The emperor sighed.
Meng Li smiled and didn't speak. The emperor was implying that the Chang family would be a royal family in the future. After she married, she would also marry a royal family, not a low marriage.
However, looking at the emperor's appearance, he should be in a period of hesitation. After all, marrying the princess at this time is also a compromise.
detrimental to national prestige.
"What do you think?"
The emperor looked at Meng Li, his sharp eyes revealing some kind of expectation.
Meng Li said lightly:
"I have a grudge with Changhong Fu,
If I get married like this, my life must be bad. "
emperor:"……"
How should I answer this? Do you want to endure it for the sake of Yan Guo's current situation?
Sacrifice you to make everyone happy?
This kind of remark is a bit shameless, he can't say it.
And unless it was a last resort, he didn't want to compromise like this.
Before, he was proud of the princess of the dynasty who captured the other party, and marrying the princess in a blink of an eye is like sending sheep into the tiger's mouth, and I am afraid that it will be called unkind.
"What do you mean?"
The emperor looked at Meng Li, seemingly gentle, but in reality he was pressing step by step.
There is always a solution to things, and you have to think about this solution.
Meng Li pondered for a while and said:
"Your Majesty, this servant girl is stupid. Ever since she knew she was proposed, she has been sleepless day and night. She racked her brains to come up with a stupid way. I don't know whether to say it or not."
The emperor nodded and said:
"you say."
Meng Li said:
"Now Zheng Guo is going through a civil strife, people are unbalanced, and they are restless. I think they proposed to let the ministers and sisters marry, and then said a truce, etc. In fact, they need to take a breath now and rectify the inside."
"Following the trend is just to cover up their inability to continue fighting against us."
"Still posing like this..."
Meng Li's expression was a little hesitant to speak, but finally stopped.
It doesn't make much sense to understand the words. They are currently unable to fight with this side, but they still talk to this side to make good friends, making it seem that they are giving charity to this side.
If you agree to this, in the eyes of the Chang family, Yan Guo is a fool.
Not to mention losing a princess, it also gave them a chance to breathe.
And they had enough rest and breathed evenly, so they could tear up the so-called covenant and attack Yan Kingdom.
No real money was given.
The emperor looked at Meng Li silently, his waist unconsciously sat up straight, and gestured for Meng Li to continue speaking with his eyes.
Meng Li looked at the wine on the table, picked it up and drank a glass, moistening his throat.
The emperor involuntarily raised a cup towards the void, as if clinking with the cup Meng Li had just drank.
And then drank it all.
Meng Li continued:
"My minister and sister plainly believe that Yan Guo is now being pressed by Zheng Guo step by step. It is not because of military strength. Our Yan Guo soldiers are brave and good at fighting. If we have sufficient financial resources, we can repel Zheng Guo."
The emperor said lightly:
"But now the treasury is so empty that it won't last long. Compared to them..."
"More anxious."
More need to breathe.
Meng Li said:
"Actually...you can borrow it from the people."
The emperor was stunned:
"what?"
Meng Li put his hands on his thighs and tapped his thighs with his fingertips. How should he explain the national debt to the emperor?
It doesn't seem like this has been popular here before.
She said:
"Our country of Yan has a vast territory, a large population, and rich products. There are many rich families among the people, and the emperor's brother is the emperor, and he has a majesty that can convince the world. Besides, the country is in trouble, and patriots are everywhere, and they will definitely be willing. "
"As long as they are given a certain amount of interest at that time, they must be very willing to support it."
"Who doesn't love the country, and who doesn't trust their monarch. In the hearts of the people, you, the emperor, are the most authoritative and most reliable."
The emperor was very smart, he said:
"What do you mean, I declare to the world, lend it to the people of the world, and when the time comes to win the battle, I will return it to them with the profit."
Is it similar to the private lending model?
Meng Li nodded and said:
"It's not limited to money, food, cloth, etc. are all acceptable."
Meng Li said with a sly expression:
"There are also princes who are in various places. They are very wealthy. Most of them are members of the Yan clan. They are also closely related to them. They are both honored and disgraced. Today, the emperor's brother borrows money from the world, and they have to give it selflessly."
"Okay!" The emperor smiled heartily, his mood instantly brightened.
I had tried the idea of the princes before, but I just couldn't think of a reason.
Let them donate directly, but I am afraid that some people will think that they are forcing them and cause civil unrest.
If they are all involved in borrowing money from people in the world, then they can still stand by and have nothing to say?
You don't need to be cheeky enough to ask for it.
"Your Majesty can also tell the world the amount of donations from various princes and princes. People often have a heart for comparison and don't want to be left behind." Meng Li said.
After speaking, he couldn't help but chuckle.
It would be embarrassing for anyone to donate less.
The emperor looked at Meng Li with bright eyes, and said with great interest:
"How did you come up with this idea?"
Meng Li hesitated and said:
"I was on the way back from Zheng State to Yan State. It was a long journey. I often stopped at inns and listened to some people who were engaged in private lending talking about their affairs. That's where I came from."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, raised the glass to face Meng Li, Meng Li picked up the glass, touched it with the emperor's glass, and drank it.
Then the emperor's eyes turned to Meng Li again, to see if Meng Li had anything to say.
Meng Li thought about it and said:
"The emperor is merciful to rule."
"Naturally," he said.
The emperor touched his chin. If the matter went well, then the serious trouble of the confidant was solved.
