After hearing this, the two old people expressed that they had learned a lot.
Prince Renyin: "What about other aspects? For example, the price of rice and noodles on the market has also increased by tens or hundreds of times?"
If this is the case, it will be a miracle that the Suzaku Kingdom is not in chaos.
"This is where they are smart. There are no big changes in all aspects of daily life in the market. For example, the prices of rice, noodles, vegetables and cloth that people usually buy and sell in Suli are what we see in other places in the Suzaku Kingdom. In the capital, there are no big changes.
It’s a little higher, but compared to the sky-high prices I just mentioned, it’s not worth mentioning.”
Therefore, in this regard, even if a discerning businessman wants to negotiate a price difference, he will not be able to do so. It will not affect the market in other places at all, and it will not have much impact on the economy of the Suzaku Kingdom.
Neither Ancestor Xuanqing nor Crown Prince Renyin would be foolish enough to ask questions like, 'With such a price increase, will the business in these places be ignored?'
The purpose of the other party is actually very obvious. They have not shaken the country's foundation, which is the daily needs of ordinary people. Their targets are the powerful and wealthy people who want face and money.
In other words, it is taking a small amount of money out of the pockets of wealthy people.
Besides, Kyoto, the inns and restaurants here and those places where you know what I know, as well as the accessories and luxury goods that the rich and powerful like to show off their status, belong to the category of people's livelihood, but they can also be classified as
In all aspects of leisure and entertainment, the higher the price, the more valuable the guest's status is. The most indispensable thing is the kind of cantaloupe that actively sends money inside.
No, didn’t they also become a member of Hagua?!
Not to mention the capital of the Suzaku Kingdom, it is also the capital of the Qilin Kingdom. There are places where such prices are particularly unreasonable, but the imperial court has been controlling them, so it is not as excessive as it seems here.
After giving Erpiao a calm buffer time, Qi Baoer said as if he suddenly remembered: "By the way, something seems to have happened in Duke Chengen's mansion. Yesterday, Duke Chengen's family had some power in Beijing.
They were all recruited into the palace, and then the Chengen Palace was surrounded by the Imperial Guards. This morning, all the people in the Chengen Palace, including the servants, were sent to prison."
The Cheng'en Duke's Mansion in the Suzaku Kingdom should be called the Cheng'en Duke's Mansion to be precise.
Isn't this one of the two leaders of the Suzaku Kingdom Civil and Military Fighter?!
The Queen's maternal clan.
In addition to being in charge of the Ministry of War, they also control the Forbidden Army and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. They are the leaders among the generals.
Such an awesome family, the whole family was sent to prison?
Ancestor Xuanqing: "What, the queen and the imperial concubine fought, and the imperial concubine won?"
Qi Baoer looked at him silently, how could she know? She only saw a few of them from Xiaoer.
When Crown Prince Renyin saw this, he just floated out without anyone saying a word.
-
In the darkest, messiest, and smelliest corner cell of the Penal Department Prison, there are a group of prisoners who are either women or children under the age of ten.
Amidst the cries of a group of women and children, unlike others who were depressed or desperate or afraid or who vaguely held some hope but still had no bottom in their hearts, there was an old woman and a young woman.
It seemed surprisingly calm.
It's just that the two of them were in a corner, and the young woman was sitting on her knees with her back to the outside, so no one noticed anything unusual about them, and they just thought that the young woman was taking care of the old woman.
"Old lady, granddaughter-in-law, I'm afraid this is not a good thing. The Queen may only be able to save the wife and junior members of our family."
The old woman is Qi, the wife of the Duke of Chengen. She and Duke Chengen were childhood sweethearts. They met when they were young, then got to know each other, and then got married naturally. The couple almost never blushed in their lives; Chengen
Her benefactor also loved her and cherished her. He only had her as one wife in his life, and had no concubines or wives. The Qi family almost never suffered any injustice.
But it’s just ‘almost’.
The only time Duke Cheng'en and the Qi family became red-faced was because of the empress of the dynasty.
Cheng En Gong's grandfathers had the experience of sending men to the palace as concubines. Perhaps it was for this reason that Cheng En Gong's family had a certain element of being a free-for-all.
Therefore, Duke Chengen always had the idea of sending his son to the palace for the benefit of the family.
It's just that Mrs. Qi doesn't want to. In her heart, entering the palace and becoming a concubine is not an easy path. She doesn't want her sons to 'fight' in a place of intrigue. She just hopes that her children can be safe.
It's a pity that Cheng'en Gong didn't think so, and her eldest son was not willing to be ordinary.
Both father and son hid the truth from her, and she didn't know the truth until the eldest son had already entered the palace and it was too late.
How can I be more angry or disappointed?
You just have to plan for it.
But Mrs. Qi knew in her heart that the current emperor was not a long-term person, and her mind was smaller than the tip of a needle. Even if the eldest son was favored for a while, it would only be for the emperor to do something for Duke Chengen to see and do.
For the common people and court officials to see.
Your Majesty, you just use Duke Chengen's Mansion as a useful sword.
Once this knife becomes useless or is too sharp and might hurt her, the emperor will definitely abandon it, and that will be the end of Duke Cheng'en's palace.
And now, that day has finally arrived.
Mrs. Qi sighed with no surprise on her face, and patted the young woman's hand distressedly, "I had already guessed that this day would come to Duke Cheng'en's house, and it wasn't because I didn't like you that I stopped you from entering.
I don’t want you to suffer the consequences.”
The young woman is Lin, the daughter-in-law of the Qi family's eldest grandson [the tenth prince cannot be called the eldest grandson, but a grandson], and her father is the Minister of War. It seems that this person is really unlucky, and they have only been married for less than a month.
Now that my husband's family is being raided, my mother's family is very likely to be implicated as well.
Mrs. Lin really thought that the old lady didn't like her before, because the entire Duke Cheng'en's palace, including Duke Cheng'en, was very happy about her marriage with her husband. Only the old lady came to see her in private once.
He was trying to persuade her not to marry into Duke Chengen's house.
She was originally worried that she would be wasted by the old lady after marrying into Duke Chengen's house, but she never thought that on the contrary, it was the old lady who was always protecting her.
So she always wondered why the old lady persuaded her like that in the first place.
Now I understand it.
When she understood, she was only moved in her heart. She held Qi's hand tightly with both hands and said, "Old lady."
Mrs. Qi tightened her grip and pulled her closer, "The Duke participated in the murder of the Chu family. Over the years, the Wang family has done many unreasonable things to secure the position of the Queen. If the emperor wants to seriously investigate the crime, the Wang family will not escape."
No, confiscating your home and being exiled is the lightest option, even extermination of the nine clans is possible.
Your father, I guess there’s a good chance he won’t be able to escape this time.”
Something concealed slipped into Lin's hand: "I have already made arrangements. If you are lucky enough to be exiled, someone will pick you up after you leave the capital."
Mrs. Lin could no longer hold back her tears, "Grandma."
Qi hugged her, patted her back gently, smiled and whispered, "Hey."
In mid-air in front of them, Ah Piao, who was wearing prison uniform, was holding a handkerchief and wiping the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, "I'm touched, I'm so touched. I didn't expect to see such tenderness in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
