Everlasting Immortal Firmament

boom!

The silver shop in the ancient Song Dynasty collapsed.

ah!

my leg!

My silver!

……………………

………………

…………

A series of screams came from the ruins. Outside the silver shop in the ancient Song Dynasty, many people who snatched gold and silver fled in a hurry.

Above the restaurant next door.

Gu Han also watched this scene in astonishment.

Father, why did this ancient Song silver shop collapse? Gu Han asked in amazement.

Gu Hai smiled coldly and said, The ancient Song silver shop is not just gold and silver, all kinds of furniture are of the highest grade, even the beams and pillars are made of golden nanmu.

Ah? They even robbed the beams and pillars? Gu Han was completely overwhelmed by the robbers.

Who would not want something for nothing? Gu Hai sneered.

Boom!

Suddenly, a large number of city guards ran from a distance.

call!

There were still a few people who were looking for the ruins, and they quickly dispersed, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The city guard is here. It seems that the pot of water in Songcheng is about to boil. You go to the Prince's Mansion at night to add fuel to the flames. Tomorrow's court meeting is the key! Gu Hai said in a deep voice.

Yes, foster father, don't worry, my son has spent countless costs to become the crown prince these years. Although he can't influence the prince's thoughts, it is not difficult to say a few words that the prince can listen to! Gu Han said with a confident smile.

------------------------

The silver shop in the ancient Song Dynasty was robbed, and the news spread all over Song City in an instant.

It was the largest silver shop in Song City, and it contained countless wealth. Countless people poured into it and became rich overnight.

Many people who didn't have time to participate were beating their chests and feet, jealous for a while, and waiting for news from the government.

Those who participated also hid the stolen goods, waiting for official news.

Song Cheng became calmer in an instant, calmer than the previous few days, everyone was looking forward to it, and they were all waiting patiently.

Therefore, only this ancient silver shop was robbed, and other ancient mansion properties have not been robbed by the people at this moment. Everyone is waiting for news, waiting for the qualitative news on the matter at the next day's court meeting.

The news reached the hands of the ministers in the DPRK and China. Such a huge news indeed caused countless officials to suddenly feel complicated. How to express their stance at the court meeting tomorrow?

Many ministers are running around, looking for colleagues to discuss matters in the morning court tomorrow.

The news also reached the palace.

Many people in the harem applauded.

Okay, it's good to grab, the things of the ancient demons are just to be snatched!

If it were me, I would grab it too. Even I have been to the ancient Song Dynasty silver shop a few times. The level of luxury is even more powerful than that of the imperial palace!

It's all right now, Gu Hai's shop has been robbed, the emperor must be happy, and the hearts of the people are good!

……………………

………………

...

Many people applauded, and the old emperor also listened to his subordinates report everything before in the study room, frowning and analyzing everything.

Go invite Grand Master Pang and Prime Minister Liu to come and discuss! the old emperor ordered.

yes!

----

In the prince's mansion.

Prince Song listened to his subordinates report the news about the ancient Song silver shop today.

Okay, hahaha, Gu Hai's shop was robbed, what a joy! Prince Song said grimly.

The death of his son Song Zhengxi had brought Prince Song's hatred towards Gu Hai to its peak. At this moment, as long as there was any bad news about Gu Hai, Prince Song would be relieved for a while.

Prince, this is not the time to be happy! A staff member in front of him smiled wryly.

Huh? Prince Song frowned and looked at the staff in front of him.

Prince, the smashing and robbing of Gu Hai's shop is indeed a joyful event, but behind this incident, there are tangled problems hidden. An aide smiled wryly.

What's the problem? Prince Song said in a deep voice.

How to determine the nature of this case? The ancient Song silver shop is indeed Gu Hai's shop. This time it was robbed by the common people. Should these robbers be punished or rewarded? Is what the common people did right or wrong?

Say the people are wrong, they are loyal to the country, er, at least on the surface they are standing on the moral high ground, they are serving the country, and serving the country is innocent, even by any means! However, if you say that the people are right, then you have violated the law. The laws of our country of Song are extremely strict. This is an act of robbery. No matter who the other party is, they cannot be robbed. Robbery is breaking the law, and we ignore the laws of the Song Dynasty. The law is the most important weapon of the country and should not be messed with. said an aide.

Yes, Prince, say the people are wrong, and the people are serving the country! Say the people are right, and the people are trampling on the law! Are the people right or wrong, should they be rewarded or punished? I think all the officials are having a headache now, and the people of Song City are also waiting for the characterization given by the court tomorrow morning! Another aide also smiled wryly.

Prince Song opened his mouth, momentarily surprised. Are the people right or wrong? This requires an official characterization, but how to qualify it at this time?

There was a moment of silence in the room, this was an extremely difficult question.

If my Da Song government raided the ancient Song silver shop back then, there wouldn't be so many problems! Prince Song said with a wry smile.

No, prince, the two countries are at war, and we don't want to kill them. The Guhai store is here. There is not enough evidence that they are harmful to the Song Dynasty. They cannot be randomly inspected. Otherwise, it will cause a chain reaction. Merchants dare not do business across borders and regions. Moreover, Guhai's shops are too large. Once they are fully inspected, it is likely to mess up the commercial system of the Song Dynasty. People suddenly cannot buy many things, which will inevitably lead to civil uprisings. Secondly, publicizing the evil of Guhai is just to prevent Guhai. Conspiracy, the people will only hate Guhai, but they will not be afraid if they are fully cleaned. , it is likely to form a feeling of danger for the Song Dynasty, which will cause panic among the people!

Prince Song's expression showed a strange look.

Maybe the emperor also thought about raiding the ancient Song silver shop, and maybe even prepared to do it to prevent hidden dangers. After all, although there was a loss, it may still be under control. But, after all, it was a step too late, and the people took the lead. In this way, the situation is even more complicated! How to characterize the people who rob the ancient Song silver shop today? Reward or punishment? the staff smiled bitterly.

Crown Prince Song: .........!

There was another silence in the room. It was originally a happy thing, but now it has become so weird.

His Royal Highness!

A servant came in from outside the house.

What's wrong? Prince Song said in a deep voice.

Please see Mr. Tian! the servant said respectfully.

Mr. Tian? Tian Han? That businessman?

This Tian Han does have some brains, but it's a pity that he is too focused on wealth. Although he donates a lot of wealth to the Prince's Mansion, he doesn't interfere with the Prince's Mansion's affairs!

It's better not to intervene. How can a merchant be allowed to intervene at will in the matter of the prince?

………………

…………

...

While all the staff members were whispering, Prince Song had already ordered someone to invite him.

Soon, Gu Han was led into the house.

Caomin has met His Highness the Crown Prince, and all your lords! Gu Han said with a smile.

Mr. Tian doesn't need to be too polite! the prince laughed.

All the staff also smiled slightly, after all, Gu Han never intervened in the affairs of the Prince's Mansion, and he had no conflict of interest with everyone.

Mr. Tian, ​​what are you doing here? Prince Song asked curiously.

Gu Han smiled wryly for a while and said: The prince must know about the Gusong silver shop too!

Oh? Everyone's expression changed.

Mister came here for this matter? Prince Song frowned.

Tian does not dare to judge this matter arbitrarily. Tian has no talent. He is just a merchant and cannot share the prince's worries. This time, he came here to bring some things that Tian saw. Maybe what I see in the eyes of a commoner is different from the perspective of you adults. It is just for your reference! Gu Han said politely.

Oh? Everyone looked at Gu Han curiously.

------------

On the second day, Song City, above the court.

King Song sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the group of officials. The group of officials seemed to have experienced a fierce quarrel, and many people were still red-faced. At this moment, everyone looked at the Song Crown Prince in the center.

Father, fellow colleagues, whether it is right or wrong, we have been arguing for a long time. The people robbing the ancient Song silver shop is trampling on the law, but what they robbed is Gu Hai's shop. Gu Hai has long been rumored to be the head of the devil. Cutting off the devil's wings is also helping justice. Everyone has their own opinions. I am not talented. Tell me what I think! Song Prince solemnly said.

Prince, please speak! Grand Master Zuo Liepang said in a deep voice.

King Song also stared at Prince Song.

Prince Song nodded and said, Father, fellow colleagues, if the common people are guilty, then robbing is guilty. Prime Minister Liu, what you said earlier was the most violent, so let me inquire and you answer. Since the common people are guilty, how should we deal with them according to what you said?

The group of officials on the right listed as the head, and an old minister came out.

Return all the robbery that day, and give a slight punishment, as a warning! Prime Minister Liu said solemnly.

Are the people willing to return it by themselves? I think that basically everyone is unwilling to return it. Besides, it's hard to find out who and what they robbed, isn't it? Is there a search all over the city? My Song Army just destroyed 800,000 troops because of Gu Hai, and now we are helping Gu Hai recover the loss? This, how does this make the people think?

It can be seized, but Gu Hai will not be returned! Prime Minister Liu frowned.

If you don't return the ancient sea, it will be in our country's treasury. What will be the final effect of the massive raid? Compete with the people for the stolen goods? The country versus the people? Are you trying to isolate the Song government from the people? No, it's confrontation? Song Prince sneered.

Ah? The old minister never meant that! Prime Minister Liu immediately shook his head.

The common people robbed Gu Hai's things. If I officially take action, but I have no name to dispose of the property. I can't hand it over to Gu Hai, and I can't keep it for myself. I will be stigmatized! I have publicized the evil of Gu Hai in the early days of the Song Dynasty, and my position will never change. I must not stand on Gu Hai's side and help Gu Hai recover the loss, let alone destroy the people's confidence in hating Gu Hai when they are high-spirited!

Because the common people hate Gu Hai, of course, there are some people who fish in troubled waters, but because they hate Gu Hai, they have this impulse, and the people's hearts are available, which shows that my previous propaganda has worked. At least, Gu Hai's conspiracy and tricks can no longer be used on the people. Everyone will be on guard against Gu Hai! Song Prince said solemnly.

What does the crown prince mean that the common people cannot be punished? Prime Minister Liu frowned.

That's right, they went to the Gusong silver shop only after cutting off Guhai's wings, so of course they can't be punished! Prince Song said solemnly.

Can't be punished? But they have trampled on the laws of the Great Song Dynasty. Shouldn't they be rewarded? The laws of the Great Song Dynasty are sacred and cannot be trampled on, and no one can! Otherwise, once the laws collapse and the people lose their hearts, the Song Kingdom will perish! Liu Chengxiang said anxiously.

Prime Minister Liu, you are worrying too much. This is what I was about to say. The law is dead, but man is alive. This case is special, so we should look at it separately! Prince Song laughed.

Oh? Strip it off? How to strip it off? King Song asked doubtfully.

Father, my son thinks that we are now entangled in the nature of this matter, which is a bit messy. The conflict between laws and serving the country is all because of the danger of Gu Hai. What if we strip Gu Hai from the laws of our Song Dynasty? Song Prince laughed.

Huh? Everyone frowned and looked at Prince Song.

Those who endanger our country must not be tolerated. Why should the laws of Song Dynasty protect Guhai's shops? On the contrary, I feel that the people have done right and well. When we were still thinking about whether to seal up Guhai's shops, the patriots among the people were already a step ahead and started to take action. Because they firmly believe that everything in Guhai is harmful to our Song Dynasty. The people's hearts are with our Great Song. Why should we hurt the people's hearts? Song, do you still have to make things difficult? Prince Song said.

Huh? The ministers frowned and thought.

We did a lot of publicity in the early days, publicizing the evil of Guhai, which led to yesterday's anti-Guhai incident. If we punish those who opposed Guhai today, what was our previous propaganda? A joke? A sensationalist? Or a joke? A country cannot stand without trust! You have no jokes! The country's prestige cannot be desecrated! Song Prince shouted loudly.

On the dragon chair, King Song narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

Prince, what do you mean, instead of punishing them, you want to reward them? Reward them for robbery? Prime Minister Liu said with an ugly face.

There is no need for rewards, just verbal encouragement, and they are not guilty! Prince Song said solemnly.

Yes, but does the prince know that outside the court, countless people are eagerly waiting for our news. Once they are determined, it is difficult to change them. If they are not guilty, they will be given verbal encouragement. After today, tomorrow I will be robbed of other ancient sea shops in Songcheng. Do you believe it? Liu Chengxiang frowned worriedly.

Heh, Prime Minister Liu, why are you so worried about the Guhai industry? Prince Song said coldly.

I care? What do I care about! It's just how much property Gu Hai has? Do you know how much wealth he has? Why didn't the government seize it? This robbery, but...! Liu Chengxiang said anxiously.

Prince Song sneered, shook his head and said, There is a lot of wealth. I know that anyone would be jealous. Even if I know so much wealth, I would still be jealous. I also want to check it out myself. But, Prime Minister Liu, don't forget, is it the wealth that is important, or our country of Song?

Huh? Everyone in the hall looked solemn.

Father, Gu Hai has a lot of wealth, and anyone wants it. However, it is nothing compared to my Great Song Dynasty. Since the Gu Song silver shop has been determined, and the people go to rob the property of the ancient mansion, then go ahead and rob it. The government will search and the people will also rob. What if there is a conflict? Compete with the people? What if Gu Hai makes a fuss? Song Crown Prince said solemnly.

But...! Prime Minister Liu said anxiously.

Father, the people robbed Guhai's wealth because we publicized the evil of Guhai. This is to follow our Song Dynasty, and we should encourage them! Only when the wealth of Guhai is given to the people will they be grateful. Only when the people are convinced will our propaganda be more convincing. Although there is a lot of wealth in Guhai, it is still important to our Great Song Dynasty. I feel that yesterday's anti-Guhai incident should be encouraged and not punished! Crown Prince Song solemnly said to the old emperor.

The ministers whispered for a while.

The old minister supports what the prince said. Although there is a lot of wealth, if the people's hearts are safe, everything is worth it! Grand Master Pang said.

The minister seconded the proposal!

The minister waits for a second opinion!

……………………

…………

...

For a moment, the court stood overwhelmingly on Prince Song's side.

King Song sat on the dragon chair, watched the ministers almost one-sidedly support the prince, and finally nodded.

Indeed, what is the use of confiscating so much wealth? If the Song Kingdom is destroyed by the ancient sea, no amount of wealth will be enjoyed, as long as one's own country is still there, everything will be there.

The crown prince will play! King Song said.

Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

----------

The news of the court meeting spread out as soon as possible.

Gu Hai and Gu Han have been paying attention to the court meeting. After the court meeting, someone came to report immediately.

Father, that's great. Prince Song used what I said yesterday, above the court, to characterize and reward Song people for opposing my ancient family. It has officially pushed the Great Song Kingdom into the abyss! Gu Han looked at Gu Hai excitedly.

Holding a teacup, Gu Hai took a sip, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
