Looking at Yuan Zhi who turned his position so quickly, Yuheng shook his head helplessly, but he didn't care. After all, after hearing what Qi Xiu said, he also felt that Mo Zizai was good at killing him.

Thinking of the second question Qi Xiu asked just now, Yuheng took the initiative to ask: "You just said about the fundraising of Your Majesty, how much did those merchants pay?"

Because of his first experience, Yuanzhi didn't guess this time, and looked at Qi Xiu directly and waited for him to give the answer.

Seeing that Yuanzhi was not going to guess this time, Qi Xiu showed a look of regret on his face, but Yuanzhi couldn't force himself to do so. He could only speak to the two of them: "When facing His Majesty's fundraising, none of the beheaded merchants paid more than one thousand taels, or even more, only a few dozen taels."

"How many dozens of taels?"

Yuanzhi asked in disbelief: "You mean those merchants with a net worth of one million taels will be paid dozens of taels of silver in the face of His Majesty's fundraising. They are sending beggars!!!"

"Yuanzhi!"

Yuheng and Yuanzhi had a good personal relationship. At this moment, he heard Yuanzhi say this and immediately shouted loudly and said, "This is the capital, please be careful when speaking."

Hearing Yuheng's scolding, Yuanzhi immediately realized that he was a bit disrespectful about what he said just now, but he said unyieldingly: "What's wrong? Did the Sa family say something wrong?"

"They probably won't have that much money for a meal. They can afford it, so they should cut their heads."

"You can't say that."

Yuheng shook his head and said, "The businessmen are unwilling to show off their wealth. When faced with such things as fundraising, even if they have money, they will not donate it with great fanfare."

"and……"

Speaking of this, Yuheng frowned, "Just because others were unwilling to pay, they killed the person and searched the house. Isn't that a little overdoing?"

"The Taoist priest dare not agree with this."

Qi Xiu shook his head and retorted: "If the country is prosperous and the people are safe and peaceful, this move will definitely be inappropriate."

"But now that the foreign affairs are in trouble in the Great Zhou Dynasty, if these wealthy and unkind merchants are not killed, where can the court get money to provide disaster relief and how can the money to resist foreign enemies? In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods should be implemented. I don't think the prince's move has any problem."

Yuanzhi nodded, "Sajia agrees."

"You are too radical..."

Yuheng shook his head, but thinking about the current situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he didn't know what to say, but asked, "Did King Zizai use this money on the right path?"

"If it's just that money is moved from the merchant's house to his palace, there's no need to say anything more."

"If the prince piled up his money in his palace, he would not speak for him."

Qi Xiu said, "As far as we know, the soldiers on the border of the East have been sent to the sound of the soldiers, and His Majesty also gave the Zhenyuan Marquis, who guarded the East, the power to recruit soldiers independently. With these, it is definitely no problem to defend the East with the ability of the Zhenyuan Marquis."

"As for the disaster-stricken places of the three counties, the prince ordered Shi Zhipei, the right chief censor, to provide relief. These days, he has also transported a lot of silver and food one after another. Although it cannot completely solve the disaster situation in the three counties, it is much better than before."

"I have also heard of the reputation of Lord Shi Zhipei. I heard that he is honest and capable of doing things. If he goes to provide disaster relief, the disaster situation in the three counties should be much more eased."

Yuheng just said that it was eased, but not that it could be solved. Obviously, he also knew that the problems in the three counties are no longer something that the imperial court can solve.

All three of them have been to the three affected counties, so after talking about this issue, the three of them couldn't help but feel silent.

"Hey, what a bird world!"

Yuanzhi cursed fiercely, not sure whether he was complaining about God or the current court.

After a moment of silence, Qi Xiu said slowly: "As far as I know, the three counties may be in chaos."

"Shajia saw it."

Yuanzhi's voice was a little dull, "Before coming to the capital, the Sa family was in Nanjun. You should know the disaster there, so I won't say much about the Sa family."

"But what surprised the Sa family was that the White Lotus Sect appeared there."

"White Lotus Sect..."

Hearing these three words, Yuheng was silent for a moment before shook his head: "When chaos arises, white lotus comes out."

The name of the White Lotus Sect has become a symbol. In every year of disaster, someone will come out to spread rumors and cause trouble and disrupt the storm.

"What White Lotus Sect is just a traitor behind the scenes."

Qi Xiu sneered, "When His Majesty ascended the throne three years ago, he issued a series of decrees to reduce the burden on the people and recuperate, but most of them were stopped by those aristocratic families and court officials."

"Because the situation was a bit unstable at that time, His Majesty did not forcibly implement those laws for the sake of the overall situation. He could only implement a few of them."

"But now it's different. The prince and His Majesty joined forces to directly politicalize the court. This attitude is obviously not going to compromise with them anymore, so their aristocratic families will naturally not be able to sit still."

"If I didn't have them instructed me from behind in this incident, Qi Xiu would be willing to cut off my head and play the ball for both of them."

"So what if you know they are behind it?"

Yuheng shook his head and said, "The King of Bei'an is ready to move in the northern border. His Majesty has no other military power except the 30,000 Yulin Army. Even if he knows that they are behind the scenes, what can he do?"

"well……"

Speaking of this, Yuheng sighed again, "The land of the three counties is really full of disasters. Before the natural disasters pass, man-made disasters will come again."

After hearing Yuheng say this, Yuanzhi gritted his teeth and said, "There are 800 monk soldiers in Jinlian Temple, all of which are physical cultivation. This was the establishment of Jinlian Temple by the late emperor. If His Majesty allows him, the Sa family will personally take the monk soldiers to the three counties to quell the rebellion."

Yuheng looked at Yuanzhi with some surprise, "You have soldiers in Jinlian Temple?"

"Um?"

When Yuanzhi heard this word "Ya", he couldn't help but be stunned, "What does it mean?"

Yuheng did not return to Yuanzhi's problem, but lowered his head and thought for a while before then he raised his head to look at Yuanzhi and said, "It seems that our two sects should be the secrets buried by the late emperor."

"I also have 800 soldiers in Changchun Palace, the number is the same as your Jinlian Temple, and it was also licensed by the late emperor back then."

"One thousand six hundred physical cultivation..."

After Qi Xiu was silent for a moment, a trace of enlightenment suddenly flashed in his eyes, "It seems that the late emperor planned to build a second Fengwei Army based on you two factions. It's such a great courage."

"I just don't know if the late emperor has arranged such a secret trick in other sects besides you two sects."

"It should be gone."

After thinking for a while, Yuheng and Yuanzhi shook their heads at the same time. They were not chosen by the late emperors by Changchun Palace and Jinlian Temple.

The Jinlian Temple was chosen because the Jinlian Temple's unique skills were learned by Tang Weiyi. Although Jinlian Temple has always said that it was robbed by the late emperor... Well, in fact, it was almost the same. The late emperor brought troops there, but he was originally robbed by the foundation.

But the senior officials of Jinlian Temple never thought they had been robbed. The reason was very simple, because when the abbot of Jinlian Temple saw Tang Weilu, he cried and shouted that he would take Tang Weilu as a disciple. For this matter, Jinlian Temple's abbot, a dignified human realm master, almost knelt down for Tang Shuyu, and finally he was forced to give him a master's reputation.

So the Majesty who Yuanzhi has always said to the public is considered to be half a person from Jinlian Temple, but in fact he is not talking nonsense.
