Nine Hundred and Thirtieth: Rabbit Sheep Poison Strategy (5)

Northern Xinjiang imitated the Central Plains countries everywhere, not only the harem system was copied, even the imperial court regulations were copied from the gourd.

The court meeting is divided into large and small court meetings, the small court will deal with small matters, and the large court will discuss major issues.

At the court meeting on this day, the minister once again proposed to establish a crown prince, and the emperor's face was very ugly.

The sons were in their prime, young and prosperous, but he began to slip from the peak, and the sun was fading away.

How uncomfortable this feeling of powerlessness is for the ambitious him.

At this moment, he finally understood Emperor Dongqing's state of mind.

He also began to worry about gains and losses, for fear that his sons would take away his rights and life when he was undefended.

Still rejecting the establishment of the crown prince, the emperor also scolded the minister and the son of the minister's supporter.

Half an hour passed, and he was already a little powerless.

Rubbing his forehead tiredly, the royal court said, "My dear friends, do you have something to report? If there is nothing else, then retreat..."

Before the words finished, Wu Li pulled out and interrupted the king's words.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to announce."

In recent years, Wu Liba has become less and less trusted by the emperor, because of the horse plague incident, he was almost convicted.

After keeping a low profile for several years, Wu Liba's presence in the court gradually diminished.

After careful calculation, this is actually the first time he played at the Great Court Meeting this year.

Seeing that the person who came out was Wu Liba, the King of Northern Xinjiang had no choice but to endure his fatigue and continue listening.

"whats the matter?"

Wu Liba handed over the bamboo slips he had written.

"Your Majesty, I visited the herdsmen for several days and found that there are a lot of rabbits and sheep in herdsmen's homes. If things go on like this, these animals will inevitably occupy the pasture, leaving the war horses with no grass to eat. Now is the critical moment to restore their vitality. Don't take it lightly. The major racecourses have repeatedly reported recently that more and more horses have broken their legs because of rabbit holes, which shows that..."

The King of Beijiang glanced at it, frowned, and interrupted Wu Liba's words, enduring the rising anger in his heart.

"Wu Liba, is this the court meeting or not your home? How could such a trivial matter be discussed at the court meeting?"

Surprised, Wu Liba quickly knelt on one knee and made a gesture of allegiance.

He said, "Your Majesty, this is by no means alarmist talk. Now there are various indications that the caravan's wanton purchase of sheepskin and rabbit meat is clearly a conspiracy against pasture. I implore your Majesty to order that those merchants who are walking away should be arrested immediately and tortured to reveal their secrets." black hand."

The King of Northern Xinjiang was furious.

Wu Liba seldom cared about the lives of the herders at the bottom. As an ambitious king of northern Xinjiang, he was even less likely to care about ordinary herdsmen.

In his view, it is very normal for herdsmen to raise rabbits and sheep.

If it is abnormal, at most it is because the rabbit was accidentally let go, causing the hare to breed.

However, can this be considered a big deal?

As for the flock?

The ancestors in northern Xinjiang made a living by herding horses and sheep. What's so strange about that?

Could it be that the ancestors herding horses and sheep was also a conspiracy of people with a heart?

"The older you get, the more confused you become!"

The King of Northern Xinjiang gave a sharp reprimand, and threw the bamboo slips vigorously, hitting Wu Liba on the forehead.

Wu Liba didn't expect to face such humiliation, and he didn't even have time to hide.

He was hit straight on by the rolled bamboo slips, his eyes were blacked out, and his body, which was kneeling on one knee, swayed accordingly.

All the ministers in the court were silent, and all turned their eyes to Wu Liba, as if mocking him for making a fuss out of a molehill.

How about raising more rabbits and sheep?

The northern Xinjiang grassland is so big, how can it be eaten up by these two kinds of animals?

Even if they are really eaten up, the grassland will still be covered with green grass in the next spring.

I really don't know which tendon Wu Lipu made a mistake. After finally speaking at the Dachaohui, he even said such a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Liba seemed to be several years old, his eyes were red, and he called out loudly, "If you don't stop now, it will be a catastrophe!"

The King of Northern Xinjiang sneered, and he asked, "Big disaster? What kind of disaster? The pastures in Northern Xinjiang are so luxuriant, how could it be possible for mere animals to eat them all?"

A courtier chimed in,

"Yes, grass is the most powerful and unyielding existence in the grassland. I really don't know what His Excellency Wu Liba is worried about... I have never read the books on the Central Plains, but I also know that there is a saying called unfounded worry. Isn't it you who is talking about it? "

As a wise man in northern Xinjiang, when was Wu Liba ever ridiculed like this?

When Northern Xinjiang was threatened by the Central Plains, these people held themselves tightly.

Now that An Yi has been around for more than ten years, each one of them has forgotten the ugly behavior of the past, and jumped out to attack him one after another.

"Worry? It's a wonderful word." Wu Liba's political opponents came out and asked sharply, "Your Excellency Wu Liba doesn't know the sufferings of the world, so you really think that sentient beings are full of water? You captured all the caravans, piled up To whom should the goods be sold? To you? The herdsmen rely on their meager income to support their families, and His Excellency Uliba is good, and he wants to cut off their livelihood with just a few words."

Wu Liba clenched his back molars, he said, "The mutton and rabbit meat in the hands of herdsmen can be collected at a low price and used as military rations."

The political opponent snorted coldly, and said, "Collect at a low price? What is considered a low price? Go and ask the herdsmen if they are willing to sell? Even if they are willing to sell, do you know how much it will cost to collect? Is it possible for you to The mother-in-law emptied her mother's house and bought it for you?"

As we all know, Wu Liba's wife's natal family is the richest business tycoon in northern Xinjiang.

Wu Liba used to fight in wars, and this wife added a lot of military supplies out of her natal pocket.

At that time, the ancient credit "Tiangong Liuli" cheated the noble ladies and business houses in northern Xinjiang, and defrauded more than 20 million guan from them. Wu Liba's wife's natal family was devastated. Don't talk about subsidizing Wu Liba now, it would be nice not to come to Wu Liba to enjoy the autumn breeze from time to time.

This political opponent deliberately brought up this matter, clearly to humiliate U Liba.

Wu Liba almost choked on the other party's words.

Normally, he could of course come up with countermeasures, but now that he has been hit one after another, he can't calm down at all.

The political opponent sneered, leaned over and whispered in Wulipa's ear, "Even if Your Majesty does what you want, I'm afraid it will be powerless."

Wu Liba suddenly turned his head and gave him a hard look.

The political opponent smiled brightly, and every sentence was full of thorns, "Your Excellency, did you forget that it was you who suggested that the king buy mares from the Cangzhou racecourse at a high price and fill the racecourse so that he can quickly recover. The imperial court's finances are already stretched. You are still talking to the king at this time." Make such suggestions..."

The imperial court in northern Xinjiang was so poor that they had no money, and they didn't even have much military food reserves.

If the caravan is caught and the people's money is cut off, then it is a crime of public anger.

Wu Liba is usually very smart, how could he be confused when encountering such a thing?

Or is this person so used to Gao Gao in the morning that he really thinks that Beijiang's prosperity is due to him alone?

There is a saying in the Central Plains that water can carry a boat and capsize it.

This statement is not only used in the Central Plains countries, but also applies to northern Xinjiang.

If the king of Northern Xinjiang no longer has the hearts of the people, the herdsmen will turn to support other tribal leaders.

At that time, the King of Northern Xinjiang is still a fart!
