Ji Huaishu was deeply disturbed by the princess's sudden invitation and asked anxiously: "I wonder what the princess is calling this old minister to do?"
Chu Nanzhi motioned for him to have tea, looked around the clean courtyard, and asked with a faint smile: "Your Highness will lead the army to the north tomorrow. Now, although Governor Rong Heng has taken over the Langzhou Army, there are also soldiers sent from Jiangnan states.
According to Lord Shangshu, how long will it take for one hundred thousand reinforcements to successfully enter Jinling City?"
Ji Huaishu sighed with great melancholy: "It's hard for me to say that on the way north, apart from Langzhou, there is Yizhou. The princess must have seen it along the way. Yizhou is impregnable. If Tang Yi sticks to Yizhou, he wants to take it.
It is not easy to get down to this city. The additional reinforcements sent from various places in the south of the Yangtze River are mainly naval forces. They are just a little stronger for the northward march. How can we fight against the Yizhou cavalry? Both the Langzhou army and the Yizhou army are ours.
If the elites of the empire fight forcefully, it will only end in a lose-lose situation."
"So, I specially thought of an ingenious way for Lord Shangshu to escort the prisoners north."
Chu Nanzhi smiled evilly at him, then took out the letter from her arms and handed it to him: "This is the letter written by Princess Qian to the Queen Mother. Lord Shangshu must forward it to her after entering the capital. As for how to enter Yizhou City?
, I have ordered His Highness to arrest the tomb robber gang in Langzhou City, and the Lord Shangshu can wait for the matter to be settled and take these people before setting off."
"Set off with the tomb robbers?"
Ji Huaishu was confused when he heard this.
When he entered the mansion just now, he saw Li Ce leading the sergeants out of the mansion, but he didn't know what he wanted to do.
"The tombs of King Nakebihan and Imperial Master Wu Lun are so difficult to find that even tomb robbers can find them. I guess it is not difficult for them to dig a secret passage leading to Yizhou City, right?"
Chu Nanzhi reminded with a smirk.
Ji Huaishu suddenly realized: "It turns out that the princess is really smart. I heard that these tomb robber gangs are proficient in digging skills, so it is indeed a good idea to let them dig out a secret passage."
After a pause, he became a little confused again: "But why didn't the princess inform His Highness about this matter, but asked the old minister to do it?"
"After all, he doesn't bother to use such tricks."
Chu Nanzhi knew the pretty boy's temperament very well. Although he was good at calculations, he did not disdain to use conspiracy and trickery in marching and fighting. He liked to show off his courage and was not afraid of going deep into the enemy camp alone.
But this approach is not a long-term solution after all.
At this time, she didn't want the pretty boy to make any mistakes again.
"I will ask He Ying to stay and escort the Tang Dynasty's concubine to the capital with the Lord Shangshu. When He Ying leads the people into Yizhou City, the Lord Shangshu will ask His Highness to assist him."
As soon as Chu Nanzhi finished giving Ji Huaishu instructions, he saw Lin Jinxiao leading the little treasures out.
Seeing Ji Huaishu suddenly appear in the yard, Lin Jinxiao could not help but frown: "What is the purpose of Lord Shangshu coming here?"
Ji Huaishu and Chu Nanzhi looked at each other and replied with a smile: "I heard that Princess Qian did not want to return to the capital, so I came here to ask the princess what to do with them, mother and son."
"This is quite strange."
Lin Jinxiao looked at Chu Nanzhi in confusion: "Now that her brother and I are on the same level, she is willing to stay in the enemy camp, and she is not afraid that the king will sacrifice her to the flag one day if he doesn't like it."
"Now His Highness has issued an edict to the King of Qin, and officials from all over the country have responded one after another, complying with the laws of heaven. Princess Qian must also be aware of current affairs, and know that her brother is no match for His Highness."
Ji Huaishu responded with a smile and said: "After all, His Highness has issued a message, and the princess is also a smart person. Even if she stays in Langzhou, I know that Your Highness will not threaten the lives of their mother and son."
"She is quite smart."
Lin Jinxiao frowned and nodded.
Anyway, he was already a prisoner, and now that his wife had come back, he didn't want to deliberately embarrass the mother and son.
"The crimes committed by the couple have long been beyond the scope of my king's involvement. Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu, can handle it on your own without interfering with my king and princess."
After Lin Jinxiao finished speaking, he pulled Chu Nanzhi out.
It's just that her behavior in the past few days has become more and more unpredictable. She went to the prison to meet Lin Jinqian and his wife. Now they want to arrest even the tomb robbers, but she is really naughty and mischievous.
We can say that she is serious and she is a strange woman who cares about her family and country, but she is not serious and the charges involved all the tomb robbers, so there is no way to judge her.
But thinking that he was about to go on an expedition tomorrow, Lin Jinxiao did not want to dwell on such trivial matters anymore. He took his mother and son out of the Governor's Mansion, got on the carriage and headed straight for the city.
"Pei Prince Consort has been ill for many years, but he manages Langzhou City in an orderly manner."
Looking at the bustling crowd through the car window, Lin Jinxiao couldn't help but sigh.
"After all, it is the capital of Zhongzhou, and it can also be regarded as the face of the empire. Naturally, it must be governed with care."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the bustling street scenes everywhere, and then recalled the dilapidated and dilapidated scene of Anhe County, and couldn't help but sighed: "In comparison, Princess Yan Jing is not too bad, at least she doesn't treat the people harshly.
, when I passed through Anhe County, Magistrate Hu entertained us at the post house. Even a chicken is a rare thing."
"All the officials who were attached to the Tang family probably only knew how to exploit the people during their tenure. How could they care about the lives and lives of the people."
Lin Jinxiao said angrily: "Those who can be favored by the Tang family are all the children of the gentry. In the early years, I heard that anyone who wants to be recommended by the Tang family to become an official must first prepare a generous amount of money.
Lu Quan wants to see if the silver he offers every year can please the general. These officials naturally have to find ways to make money for their official careers."
"No wonder the Tang family has been able to support so many elite troops since they entered Jinling City without relying on imperial funding. I think this military expenditure was obtained by exploiting the common people."
Chu Nanzhi shook his head and sighed.
"Of course."
Lin Jinxiao sneered coldly: "In recent years, the imperial court has been deeply poisoned by party strife. Many clans and factions have also taken advantage of their attachment to the prince in Beijing to strengthen their power, making the clans and clans completely superior to the court. Even local officials have to interfere with clan clans in handling government affairs.
Only the nobles can decide."
"I think these contradictions will be alleviated when your land equalization policy is implemented."
Chu Nanzhi said patiently and comforted.
"I hope so."
Lin Jinxiao looked back and suddenly thought of Feng Yue who was being imprisoned together, and then asked: "That Feng Changshi does not seem to be a confidant of the Queen Mother. I think he works for Yang Runchen's family, but if so, why did he betray Nandu in the first place?
king?"
"Is there a possibility that he has always been an old member of Weilan Palace?"
Chu Nan's zhiliu eyebrows trembled slightly as she looked at him.
I've hid so many things from him, but I can't hide this from him anymore.
After all, he didn't know the things in Beijing as thoroughly as he did.
"If my prediction is correct, once you conquer Yizhou, the real enemy that I will face is not King Qinghe, but our Uncle Sixth Emperor."
Chu Nanzhi's reminder did not surprise him at all.
