Meng Li covered half of his face with his hand and took a breath.
I feel toothache.
Chang Hongfu really took great pains. In order to play with her, he went back to China to launch a coup.
However, Meng Li's opinion is that it's not just for her, but for the Chang family.
However, the emperor was arrested for changhongfu and suffered a lot of bleeding. It must have been unhappy for him to redeem changhongfu once. He had a quarrel with the changs, and there might even be irreconcilable contradictions. The changs took advantage of the situation.
The emperor called Meng Li over and asked calmly:
"Huangmei, what do you think?"
Meng Li saluted, and the emperor pointed to the food and wine beside him. Meng Li knelt down on the ground, glanced at the food in front of him, but said, "the father and the emperor have gone, and the mother and the concubine of the younger sister have gone early. Now the marriage of the younger sister is decided by you."
The emperor said:
"it's mainly about you. After all, it's about your marriage."
Meng Li: "Chen Mei is still young. I really don't know how to decide this kind of thing."
Two people kick the ball in general, kick over and kick over.
Meng Li feels that the emperor is waiting for her. She is willing to marry for the sake of Yan. This shows that he is kind and virtuous, not forcing others.
But she didn't say.
"Now the Chang family covers the sky with one hand in the state of Zheng. The emperor seems to be in vain. I don't know when the state of Zheng will be changed." The emperor sighed.
Meng Li didn't speak with a smile. The emperor suggested that the Chang family would be a royal family. After she married, she also married a royal family. It's not a low marriage.
However, the emperor should be in the hesitation period. After all, it is a compromise to marry the princess at this time.
It is harmful to national prestige.
"What do you think?"
The emperor looked at Meng Li, and his sharp eyes revealed some expectation.
Meng Li said faintly:
"I have always had a grudge with Chang Hongfu. If I married like this, I would have a bad life."
The Emperor
How do you answer this? Do you want to say that you have to endure for the sake of the state of Yan?
Sacrifice you to help everyone?
It's a bit shameless. He can't say it.
And he didn't want to compromise like this until he had to.
Before that, he was proud that the princess of our Dynasty had captured each other. He married the princess in the twinkling of an eye, which was tantamount to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. He was afraid that people would say it was not benevolent.
"What do you mean?"
The emperor looked at Meng Li. He seemed gentle, but he pressed him step by step.
There's always a solution to everything. You have to think about it.
Meng Li pondered for a while and said:
"Your Majesty, my younger sister is stupid. Since she knew that she had been promoted, she has been sleepless day and night. She racked her brains to come up with a more stupid way. I don't know whether to say it or not."
The emperor nodded:
"you say."
Meng Li said:
"now the state of Zheng is experiencing a civil strife. People are not in the same mood and are restless. In my opinion, they propose to let their ministers and sisters marry in the past, and then they say truce and so on. In fact, they need to breathe and rectify their internal affairs."
"Following the trend is just to cover up their inability to continue to fight with us."
"Still put on such a posture..."
Meng Li's expression was a little hesitant and finally stopped.
It's not very interesting to make it clear. At present, they are not able to fight with this side, but they still make friends with this side. It's like they give alms to this side.
If you agree, Yan Guo is a fool in Chang's eyes.
If they lost a princess, they had a chance to breathe.
When they had enough rest and had enough breathing space, they could tear up the so-called alliance and attack the country again.
I didn't give you anything real.
The emperor silently looked at Meng Li, and unconsciously sat upright. He motioned Meng Li with his eyes and continued.
Meng Li looked at the wine on the table, took it up and drank a cup, moistened his throat.
The emperor also involuntarily lifted a cup to the void, like the one he had just drunk with Meng Ligang.
And then he drank it all.
Meng Li continued:
"Chen Mei thinks that Yan is being pressed step by step by Zheng. It's not because of the military strength. Our soldiers are brave and good at fighting. If we have enough money, we can defeat Zheng."
The emperor said faintly:
"but now the Treasury is empty and tight. It won't last long. We're better than them..."
"More anxious."
More need to breathe.
Meng Li said: "actually You can borrow it from the people. "
The emperor was stunned for a moment:
"what?"
Meng Li put his hands on his thigh and gently touched his thigh with his fingertips. How can he explain this to the emperor?
It doesn't seem to be popular here before.She said:
"our country is vast in territory, abundant in resources, large in population, rich in products, and there are many rich families among the people. The emperor's elder brother is the son of heaven, and he has his own prestige that can convince people all over the world. Moreover, in the face of national crisis, patriots are all willing."
"As long as they are given a certain amount of interest at that time, they must be very willing to support it."
"Who is not patriotic and who does not trust his own monarch? In the hearts of the people, you are the most authoritative and reliable emperor."
The emperor was very clever, and he said:
"you mean, I will tell the world and lend it to the people in the world. When the time comes, I will win the war and return it to them with interest."
Is it similar to private lending?
Meng Li nodded and said:
"it's not limited to money, food, cloth and so on."
Meng Li said slyly:
"there are also princes who defend all over the world. They are very rich. Most of them are Yan's people. Their country and country are closely related to them. They are full of honor and disgrace. Today, the emperor's brother borrows money from people all over the world, so they have to selflessly offer some."
"Good, good!" The emperor's hearty smile made him feel cheerful.
I've thought of princes before, but I can't think of any reason.
Let them donate directly. I'm afraid that some people will think they are forcing them to cause civil strife.
If they all get involved in borrowing money from people all over the world, can they still stand by and show no sign of it?
You don't have to have the cheek to ask for it.
"Your Majesty can also tell the world the amount of donations made by princes and princes. People often have the heart of comparison and refuse to fall behind." Meng Li said.
He couldn't help laughing.
I'm sorry if anyone donates 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 for a moment and said:
"I was on my way back from the state of Zheng to the state of Yan. It was a long way. I used to stop at the Inn and listen to some people engaged in private lending talking about their business, which led to this."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and raised his glass to Meng Li. Meng Li picked up his glass, touched it with the emperor's glass and drank it.
Then the emperor's eyes looked at Meng Li again to see if Meng Li had anything to say.
After thinking about it, Meng Li just said:
"the emperor is merciful and takes charge of the government."
"Naturally." He said.
The emperor touched his chin, and if it went well, the trouble would be solved.
