Tang Yulan glared at Chu Nanzhi angrily, her hatred immediately hidden in her eyes, she stepped forward with a smile, grabbed Chu Nanzhi, and greeted her cordially:
"I have heard about my siblings' names a long time ago, but I just didn't have the opportunity to meet them. Today I see my sister. She is really extraordinary. This outstanding appearance of a dragon and a phoenix is probably unmatched by all the women in the world. No wonder even Jin Shu has to deal with it.
My sister looks at me differently."
What sounds like a compliment actually contains evil intentions.
"Sister-in-law Wang is too praised."
Chu Nan Zhibi smiled, and carelessly took his hand out of her palm. He finally saw how powerful this woman was.
He quietly made countless enemies for himself.
Fortunately, Lin Jinshu didn't mind this and said with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law, there is no need to be humble. I think Princess Qinghe's words are very pertinent. Regardless of anything else, I am talking about the bone that my brother and sister-in-law broke a few months ago."
Regarding the tax and bank case, let alone us women, I am afraid that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even Brother Qinghe personally presiding over the trial, may not be able to find out the truth."
Looking meaningfully at Lin Jinke, who was calm and composed, Lin Jinshu asked coldly: "Brother Wang, are you right about what I said?"
She still didn't know who was behind the tax case, and she guessed that it might be related to King Qinghe, so she deliberately pointed the finger at him.
Lin Jinke did not realize the hidden meaning in her words, but he did not mind that Princess Shu demeaned herself to promote a rare beauty. She agreed with a smile: "What sister Shu said is very true. Brother Yu also thinks that the younger brother and sister are really quite good."
In order to get it, if my younger siblings weren't smart enough to notice the fishiness involved, Brother Yu would still think that someone really used witchcraft to steal the tax money."
"Okay, Nanzhi girl has always been a pragmatic person, so why do you need to compliment her here."
How could Yin Enci not see the evil intentions of this couple? As soon as they entered the house, the smell of gunpowder filled the room. She said displeasedly: "Jin Ke, you can tell me why you and your wife came to the palace. I have seen it before.
Are you a queen?"
Lin Jinke and Tang Yulan have long been accustomed to their ancestors being unwelcome.
Tang Yulan first bowed and replied: "Returning to our ancestors, we have just met our mother. The queen was worried about our ancestors' health, so she specially asked us and my wife to come and visit."
"Yeah?"
Yin Enci smiled calmly.
Would that evil woman care about her own body?
"Your mother is not worried about the remnants of the Ai family, but Jin Ke, your sister, your mother has really raised a good daughter. She doesn't speak shamelessly, and threatens the governor of the state by wiping her neck at every turn. It's like taking military orders.
It’s just a child’s play and a desecration of the majesty of the royal family.”
Yin Enci's face turned sharply and she said angrily: "If it weren't for the millions of cavalry from the Dahe Empire to guard the four directions, where would you have come to live such a comfortable and happy life now, and how would you have the bargaining chips for you to deceive and scheming here?
Now that public dissatisfaction has boiled over, the Aijia would like to see how you end up?"
"Jinqian did act a little recklessly this time, but she was also worried about the safety of her consort, so she said such crazy words out of desperation."
Lin Jinke tried his best to protect her, but seeing that Yin Enci seemed unwilling to forgive her sister and brother-in-law, she said directly:
"To say that the chaos in Pingning Prefecture is not an important matter. In the final analysis, the unscrupulous people feel that King Pingning is too weak, so they dare to be so presumptuous. My grandson is not talented. As long as the ancestor gives an order,
I, the 300,000 cavalrymen of Qinghe Land, can take advantage of the situation and go south, and help King Ning to level the entire south of the Yangtze River in an instant."
Listening to his insincere words, Yin Enci was so angry that she directly pushed the tea cup in front of her to the ground:
"Are you going to suppress the rebellion? You are obviously going to seize power. They are just refugees who are forced to die. Why do you need the 300,000 cavalry of the Qinghe Army? If it weren't for you powerful people to enclose the land and exploit the people without knowing whether to live or die.
, leaving them with no way to survive, how can they dare to rise up and risk the whole family being executed?"
"Now that things have happened, it will be useless for our ancestors to mention this matter again. After all, the Dahe Empire relied on the support of aristocratic families to achieve its prosperity today. We can't burn bridges across the river. Now we don't even have a few acres of land.
I am willing to give them gifts."
Lin Jinke retorted disapprovingly: "In my opinion, these rebellious people are living too comfortably and comfortably, and they are instigated by those Baiyu people to dare to rebel openly. Now they should follow the example of King Pingning and kill them as a warning to others.
The punishment of the ten tribes of Kaiyi has made Changning County barren for a hundred miles, so I wonder who else would dare to go against the imperial court."
"What King Qinghe said is really inappropriate."
Chu Nanzhi listened for a long time and finally understood the reason why his ancestors and most of the court officials were unwilling to support King Qinghe to take over Jinling City.
This guy moved out the Qinghe Army's 300,000 cavalry at every turn, undoubtedly to threaten the Empress Dowager.
After comforting the frightened babies and sitting them down, she slowly stood up and spoke:
"Food is the most important thing for the people. Even though the Dahe Empire relied on the powerful families of various aristocratic families to establish a stable empire, the merits that should be discussed have been discussed at the beginning, and those that should be rewarded have been rewarded. We cannot blindly accommodate them. In the final analysis
This world is still a world for everyone. Without the people at the bottom, let me ask you all here, you all have fiefs, food and towns. If these people at the bottom can't even provide the most basic clothing, food, housing and transportation, how can they cultivate the fields for you and collect taxes from the court?
And where did it come from?”
"of course"
Tang Yulan held her chin and thought for a while, but finally couldn't think of a reason to refute her.
"I grew up in the village and know the importance of fields to the people. It is their lifeblood. If everyone loses their fields, even if King Qinghe has thousands of troops, he can kill the rebels in Changning County.
How can we kill all the dissatisfied people in the world?"
Chu Nanzhi's eyes gradually darkened, and he said with a solemn and majestic expression: "This time I implemented the land equalization policy in Pingning Prefecture, exempting rent and reducing rent. Although it harmed the interests of some people, it benefited the majority of people.
It was the common people who were able to annihilate the Yulong Gang in just half a month. Water can carry a boat and also capsize it. If the governor of the Tang Dynasty could understand this, he would not have lost so many soldiers."
"My siblings are really good at shirking responsibility."
Tang Yulan rolled his eyes at her, shook his head dissatisfied and said: "My princess sister's harsh words have indeed damaged some soldiers, but this marching battle cannot guarantee victory in every battle."
"Yes, it is true that you cannot win every battle, but if the governors of the Tang Dynasty and Jin Qian had not accepted bribes out of conscience, protected corrupt officials and evil gentry, and aided the evil tyrants, how could the people's resentment boil over?"
Lin Jinshu glanced at Lin Jinke and Tang Yulan with cold eyes: "I think you two should go to the Chengqian Hall first to see what is written in the pile of papers about the impeachment of the Governor. No matter how protective you are,
Not too late."
Tang Yulan looked unwilling, and Lin Jinke immediately realized something was wrong. He smiled stiffly at everyone, slowly and generously held his hands, and pulled Tang Yulan to turn around and leave in a hurry.
