Nine Hundred and Thirty First: Rabbit and Sheep Poison Policy (6)

Wu Li was furious, and he said angrily, "Should we just ignore it and let the black hands behind the scenes succeed? If the king's hegemony stops here, you will be sinners through the ages. Who can bear the responsibility? Since you are loyal to the king, shouldn't you For the king's consideration?"

As he spoke, his heart was trembling, and his face was livid with anger.

Let these treacherous ministers hold back, is it suitable for the king to fulfill his grand ambition to rule the Central Plains?

The political enemy's expression was serious, and his eyes were full of coldness. He laughed ferociously, and said loudly, "Cheng Chengcheng - only you are the most loyal to the king in the whole dynasty. We are all traitors. But Ah, in the eyes of this old man, you are also a treacherous courtier. Wu Liba, regardless of the current situation, you are self-willed and force the king to act according to your wishes... Is it up to you or the king to decide the northern border? Even if you are a wise man, so what, does the king not have the ability to judge?"

If Wu Liba hadn't proposed to cooperate with the Cangzhou Meng family to buy mares at a high price, the imperial court's finances would not be so tight.

What now?

The Imperial Court of Northern Xinjiang is already stretched thin, and there is no way to spend any extra money to do other things.

In other words, Beijiang has been locked in by high-priced acquisitions of horses, and it will take at least one or two years to see benefits.

The older Wu Liba is, the more ignorant he is, so he can't see the current predicament of the northern Xinjiang imperial court?

"Don't try to provoke me. I, Wu Liba, am loyal to the king and have never had any second thoughts." Wu Liba said, "On the contrary, you, don't you really see the danger of herdsmen raising a large number of rabbits and sheep? If you can see it Still keep silent, tell me, who has two hearts?"

The political opponent wanted to say something, but the King of Northern Xinjiang stopped their argument with a loud shout.

"Everyone shut up and retreat!"

The King of Northern Xinjiang stared at Wu Liba with a livid face.

How much he liked this wise man before, how much he hates him now.

In order to stabilize power, the king of Northern Xinjiang suppressed several adult sons. He deliberately ignored Wu Liba and tried to marginalize Wu Liba.

how so?

Who let the herders deify the wise man, thinking that whoever Wu Liba is on the side of is the real emperor of the grassland?

If it were him when he was young, he would not care about these rumors, because he is confident that Ulibat will be used by him.

Now he is getting old and his body is not as good as before, but his children are in their prime. Hearing similar rumors again, the King of Northern Xinjiang only felt harsh. Even if he weakened Wu Liba slowly, the sons still rushed to curry favor with each other, which superior could bear it?

After retiring from the court, the King of Northern Xinjiang summoned his confidants in private——Wu Liba's political opponent, the person who had confronted Wu Liba just now.

"Meet the king."

Uliba's political opponent was also an important minister in northern Xinjiang, named Haruncha.

"Halentha, do you think Uliba's words...are they scaremongering, or are they true?"

The King of Northern Xinjiang was still hesitant, he understood Wu Liba's character, if it wasn't really important, the other party would not be so persistent.

Haruncha's eyes flickered coldly, and he looked confident.

"It's better to believe that there is something than nothing. One or two rabbits and sheep can't be a big weapon, but tens of thousands or even millions? It's like locusts in the Central Plains. One or two can't jump up, but they can cover The locusts that cover the sky can gnaw a person into a pair of bones in an instant, destroying thousands of miles of fertile fields. Your Majesty is in the Central Plains, so he naturally knows what happens after the locust plague in the Central Plains..."

Haruncha has not read many books. He is a standard northern Xinjiang man, advocating force and despising writing, especially Confucian culture in the Central Plains. In his opinion, Northern Xinjiang is a male lion, and those sour Confucian characters are the poison that corrodes the will of the lion, so he especially hates Wu Liba.

Who asked Wu Liba to learn the culture of the Central Plains in elementary school, and after entering the political center of northern Xinjiang, he proposed to promote the culture of the Central Plains several times.

Thus, Uliba was hated by Haruncha.

However, the king of Beijiang is an ambitious person, and he knows who is best for him to reuse.

Whenever Uliba and Haruncha clashed,

The kings of Northern Xinjiang chose to favor the former.

Haruncha has been suppressed by Uliba and has been unable to lift his head for decades.

Now that Feng Shui is taking turns, Haruncha has learned from the painful experience and recruited his staff to advise and advise him, vaguely trying to replace Wu Liba.

"You're right." The King of Northern Xinjiang couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the locust plague, and then smiled wryly, "But..."

But what?

But they have no money now!

If merchants with ulterior motives are driven away, what will happen to the rabbits and sheep in the hands of herdsmen in northern Xinjiang?

Don't the herdsmen explode on the spot?

Harunza sighed, "Since that's the case, why doesn't Your Majesty do the opposite?"

The King of Northern Xinjiang's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Why do you do the opposite?"

Harenza said, "No matter who is behind those caravans, the king pretends not to know."

"Pretend not to know?"

The King of Northern Xinjiang was stunned for a moment, unable to understand.

Haruncha felt refreshed in his heart, and it felt good to entertain others, no wonder that sour scholar Uliba liked to put on a show.

"Yes, pretend not to know." Harencha continued to pretend under the urging eyes of the King of Northern Xinjiang. He said, "My lord, how can rabbits and hares be treated in the same way? Rabbits are lazy and clumsy. Not bright. Hares are vigilant and intelligent. They run on the grassland all year round, avoiding enemies, and their meat is tender and chewy. The price of the latter is naturally higher than the former! Usually, those merchants are allowed to fool around, but this year is not allowed. The king sent someone to hint to the merchants, let them They raise the purchase price of hares, so that the herdsmen will spontaneously catch the hares. The herdsmen can earn a lot of money, and the king does not need to spend extra manpower to remove the hares in the grassland."

The King of Beijiang's eyes lit up, he really didn't expect this method.

"Is this possible?"

Harun Cha said, "Of course it's feasible. You don't need the King to pay for removing the extra hares, and you can also make the herdsmen be grateful to you."

The King of Northern Xinjiang was overjoyed, "This plan is wonderful!"

Harenza couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, and said a few words modestly.

"You don't need to be humble." The King of Northern Xinjiang sighed, raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder, and said, "Compared to Wu Liba who makes troubles for this king all day, you are the truly loyal person. Not only offering panacea, but also making suggestions for this king."

Harun inspected, "This is all what I should do."

The King of Northern Xinjiang felt tired for a while, and he asked the female slave to bring his medicine.

After a while——

The king of Beijiang felt refreshed, his complexion became rosy, and his eyes became brighter.

"It is indeed the secret recipe of the Great Xia Imperial Court. It is a good thing for the emperor to enjoy. It really has miraculous effects."

He let out a long breath, his expression dreamy.

Because of his age, his body is not as good as before, and he can't even satisfy the women in his backyard.

For a proud northern Xinjiang man, this was an intolerable humiliation.

Thanks to Haruncha's loyalty, he offered him a panacea that only the emperor is qualified to use.

After taking it every time, he feels refreshed and full of vitality, and he is even more vigorous in sex.

It is said that long-term use can also prolong life.

This is a fatal temptation for the King of Northern Xinjiang.
