Chapter 415: A lot of troubles in the world

There has never been a simple way of saying things about a country, especially when the emperor of Zhou Dynasty was going to pass the throne to the person who was not of the royal blood. In fact, even if it was the royal blood, if it weren’t for those princes, there would be some turmoil, even if it was not the eldest son. There will also be dissatisfaction.
It is even more arrogant to say that the emperor of Zhou Kingdom will pass the throne to Xie Ying.
After Master Li Ji accepted this fact calmly, many people expressed disappointment. Li Ji was the number one civil servant in the Zhou Dynasty, and Xie Ying was the head of the warrior. The two people can now vaguely say that they are standing. Once they are on the same front, there should be no problem. At least the ministers in the hall can't say anything in the face.
Even if there are still ministers kneeling down, even if there are still crying, they can't change much in essence.
But whether it is a dynasty or a small country, the real decision-making power does not lie in the hands of the emperors who sit on the throne, nor the ministers, but in the hands of the powers who control all walks of life.
For some reason, or because of the promises made by the princes to them, they were unwilling to Xie Ying to be the emperor. Some civil servants were even more worried that Xie Ying, a military commander, would become Emperor of the State of Zhou. Since then, the status of warriors has risen.
That situation was not what they wanted to see, so they twisted into a rope soon after.
...
...
There is Wushan in the suburbs of Beijing, which 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 piled in the mountain. In previous years, when the State of Zhou revived the army, the Ministry of Households had to come here to buy grain with money. It was a purchase, not a requisition.
Because the owner of this granary is An Lehou.
An Le Hou is a hereditary title.
Zhou State seldom grants princes. Even if only a few of them are banned, they are nothing more than false titles and no real powers. However, the noble family members who enjoy the titles have actually been in existence for a long time by Zhou, and they have many things, such as this Wei An Lehou was in control of most of Zhou's grain trade. The court tried to recover this trade several times, but it failed.
After all, no one wants to spit out the meat.
Governing national politics is a very complicated matter. Some people say that governing the world is like cooking small fresh food.
This is the reason.
In any case, An Lehou is the largest grain merchant in this country.
Wu Shan's granary has never been empty, whether it was during the fierce fighting before or at other times.
Grain is shipped in and out every day.
This granary is the supply place for the grain trading houses owned by the owners of Shaoliang City.
No one has ever thought about what will happen here.
But something really happened today.
The Wushan granary suddenly broke the grain.
All of a sudden, the countless grain firms in Shaoliang City were shocked.
Many business shopkeepers sent people to Wushan to check, and the final result was a sentence.
"Wu Shan is empty."
Wu Shan is indeed empty.
It used to be that Anlehou spent countless migrant workers to make this mountain hollow, in order to hollow out this mountain for food. At that time, the mountain was already empty, but now this mountain is empty again, not because of anything else. What, but the food in the mountains is really gone.
The grain of such a mountain can't be sold out because of selling.
However, not only the business owners, but even the people from the government, did not find out where the lost grain was. When checking the accounts, they found that the grain in the Wushan granary was really sold out. .
The accounts were seamless, no one could find the slightest problem, and no one knew. From the accounts, the granary hadn't received new grain for a whole month.
Wu Shan did not say that there will be no more food in the future, and he does not know when there will be more food. Anyway, it is definitely not available now.
This caused a lot of things to happen in Shaoliang City.
For example, the grain prices of commercial firms have increased.
Such as limited supply.
Soon everyone in Shaoliang City learned the news that Wushan had no grain. Many people began to collect grain, and the more the grain, the higher the price.
By autumn, the grain in this Shaoliang city had risen to half a tael of silver per catty.
You know before, you can buy a catty for just a few dozen liters.
The people in Shaoliang City are panicked, and many people no longer pay attention to who is the emperor.
I don't know why after the emperor's imperial decree was issued, why there was no follow-up. The General Xie has been living in a simple way. He has never seen him at the court, nor has he seen him in the market.
He seems to have disappeared.
Only some palace ladies knew that General Xie would occasionally enter the palace to talk to Princess Anyang.
In Anyang Palace.
Princess Anyang frowned and said: "Father wants you to be the emperor, but he didn't handle all of this. The Zhou Dynasty is in a mess."
In the imperial decree 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 am also a little confused."
He said that some of the dumbfoundedness was not a modest word, but was really dumbfounded. When he returned to Beijing to report his duties, he originally only wanted to reject the emperor's idea, and then saw Princess Anyang again, and then returned to the frontier. He never thought about staying there. Here, we have to wait to become the new emperor of Zhou.
Fortunately, he repaired the book before and went to the frontier, and wrote back saying that everything was fine, and there was nothing strange, otherwise he would have gone back long ago.
Princess Anyang said: "If this continues, we will all be starved to death."
Yes, all have to be starved to death.
The Wushan Granary in Anlehou has no grain, whether it is intentional or unintentional, but it is always a fact, but since it has become a fact, it was originally a great business opportunity, and it happened that other people came to occupy the place of Shaoliang City. Someone should come forward at this time. After all, An Lehou controls most of the country's food, but it is by no means all.
I don't know why, but I have never stood up.
Everyone was silent.
No grain was brought to Shaoliang City.
Many people understand that this is not just a question of buying and selling.
This is the response of the family family to His Majesty the Emperor.
They are not willing to be emperor Xie Ying.
The princes all smiled a little.
After all, this is the scene they all want to see.
Some ministers were a little worried, fearing that this would make Zhou state turbulent.
It's just that before this matter is handled, everyone knows that there will be a stalemate.
...
...
There is less and less food in Shaoliang City. Even the big families have reduced the amount of food. Some small families can only eat rice porridge.
They are not without money, they just can't buy rice.
An official with no background who supports the emperor’s imperial decree looked at the rice soup in his bowl that was too rare to be sparse, and said in sorrow: "When will such a life pass?"
His daughter-in-law is a gentle southern woman. She used to be a gentle and lovely woman. Now she is hungry and her cheekbones are high and she looks a little old. It is his temper. At this time, She was also a little angry. She threw the tableware and said, "Master, you have to take care of this!"
This official is only a fifth-grade official, and he is light-hearted. He may not want to listen to what he says. What should I do?
Even he was very helpless.
It's just that in this world, there must be someone who can take care of this, such as that An Lehou.
As long as he speaks and let the food appear, it appears.
But will he do this?
...
...
An Lehou’s mansion is in Shaoliang City, but this Lord Hou has always lived in the suburbs of Beijing. In his words, there are too many people in Shaoliang City. He looks annoying. It is better to live in the suburbs. The air is good and the people Also less.
His house in the suburbs of Beijing is not big, but it is definitely not small.
There is a large lake in the yard. There are countless koi in the lake. There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake.
He stood in the pavilion at this moment, watching the koi swimming in the lake.
Naturally, someone behind him reported the current situation in Shaoliang City.
He nodded from time to time to express his appreciation.
Naturally, there is food, but the emperor's imperial decree will not be withdrawn.
This is an agreement between him and a certain prince. He can do many things for him. When that prince becomes the emperor, he can naturally do many things for him.
How many things in this world are not without benefits?
How many things are not mutually exploited?
I can't tell.
An Lehou has been around for a long time, and there are many sons under his knees. After all, it is a thing that puzzles him which son to pass the title to. After all, there are too many sons, and they don't particularly like them, and they have similar talents.
He opened his mouth and said, "When the food is gone, Shaoliang City will panic. When everything stops later, will they be desperate? Normally their scholars have always looked down on us businessmen, but they thought about not having us. How can they live so safely?"
The person behind did not speak, just listened quietly.
"Your Majesty wants to pass the position to Xie Ying. This is not bad. Xie Ying is the head of the Xie family and a general. In terms of ability, he is naturally much higher than the princes, but he is too bad. He became the emperor. Few people are comfortable, since we can't live comfortably, we won't agree."
This is not his own thoughts, but the thoughts 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 robe behind him didn't think so. With a sword hanging from his waist, his hair was well combed, and his figure was very slender. No matter who came to see it, he would feel good.
If he shows some magical powers, dances a few sword flowers, and shows it to others, he will naturally call him a hero.
He listened carefully to An Lehou's two sentences, and then he felt a little troublesome.
He stayed in Shaoliang City for several months without doing anything. Later, he heard that Anlehou's mansion was in the suburbs of Beijing. Then he came to have a look and heard these two words.
He seemed to understand something.
The white-robed young man thought for a while, "What do you think if I want to be the emperor Xie Ying?"
