Emperor Wen Zhao looked through a memorial, frowned and threw it aside. Looking at another memorial, it still had the same content, he frowned and threw it aside.
The queen came over with mung bean soup and handed it over, "It will remove the heat!"
Emperor Wen Zhao pushed the fold away and closed his eyes tightly.
The queen thrust the soup bowl into his hand, and he took it.
"What's wrong?" the queen asked as she raised her hand to take the fold, scanned it roughly, and then sighed, "No wonder the two princes said that the court should think about how to take back the northwest and southwest. The northwest is like this
, the southwest is only more dangerous than the northwest.”
Emperor Wen Zhao panicked, "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are working hard towards the northwest. This means that I am afraid of the northwest and cannot tolerate the northwest. Just like the situation in the northwest, it seems that the Lin family will rebel. Everyone in the court is loyal to me.
"Everyone in the northwest feels that they are righteous to the Lin family. This is how difficult it is to rise to power!"
The queen asked, "What should we do now?"
He kept silent and felt the depth inside. But he kept silent and the sound in the middle of the court never stopped.
This person stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the report of green salt reported by Liangjiang should be strictly investigated! Green salt is produced in the northwest, and the imperial court does not allow salt to be distributed from the northwest. Why can green salt be seen everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River? This green salt can be seen everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River.
Where does the salt come from? How long has it been sold privately? How much wealth has it been accumulated? Where has it been used? I believe that for this important matter, the court should investigate and verify it as soon as possible."
"I second the proposal! We should be very careful about matters in the northwest! Salt tax accounts for 20% of the court's tax revenue. This is not only related to the northwest, but also to the court's taxation. How can we take it lightly?"
"I think we should secretly investigate the salt in Liaodong! If the green salt has been sold to the south of the Yangtze River, then dare to ask whether the salt used in Liaodong is green salt? If even Liaodong uses green salt, then dare to ask the northwest..."
Okay! The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes!
"Your Majesty!"
He knelt down and said, "I don't have any intention of provoking anything. It's really for the country of Chen!" Emperor Wen Zhao wanted to feel the depth, but when he sat up, he knew that it was impossible to touch the depth! He opened his mouth and said: "
The matter in Jiangnan really needs to be investigated! Why? It’s not that the northwest sold the green salt to the south of the Yangtze River as you think. On the contrary, there were bandits in the south of the Yangtze River. They secretly transferred the salt from the northwest to the southwest and robbed it!
"
ah?
"I originally thought this was the work of bandits, and I was just waiting for the Jiangnan officials to report it to see what they had to say about it. But who knew I couldn't wait and waited, and it happened to be the winter flood last year, and the flood this spring.
Spring floods...there will be victims of disasters. If the imperial court sends troops to suppress bandits at this time, I have concerns, fearing that officials from various places will kill good people and take credit for their merits. Therefore, I have not said anything and only asked people to check in secret. I have also sent people to adjust the Qing Dynasty again.
All salt should be shipped to the southwest."
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the court hall.
I don’t know for a moment whether what the Holy One said is true or false!
Also, why do we need to secretly transport salt to the southwest?
It doesn't make sense, right?
Han Zongdao said, "Why doesn't it make sense? The southwest is different from the northwest, and it is also different from the plains. There are many mountainous people in the southwest, and tribes live in the mountains. Most people never leave the mountains in their lives. I dare to ask, how do these people govern? They only know tribes
If you don’t know about the imperial court, then this cannot be regarded as the territory of Dachen. What the southwest has to do is trade with the mountain people! Can we trade with the mountain people, can we use the salt from Jiaozhi? It is available, but how much does it cost? Those salt wells
Most of it is in the hands of Jiaozhi nobles, which is different from the northwest. What's more, if the local salt is used and transferred to the mountain people at a high price, then they can trade directly with each other. What else does the court have to do?
The southwest is mountainous, with many medicines and mountain products. Use the salt from the northeast and exchange it with the mountain people for herbs, mushrooms, and various kinds of bacon... Isn’t this a big deal? Things in the northwest and southwest should be reported directly to the Holy One. Does the Holy One want to do this?
Do you want to report everything to everyone?" Emperor Wen Zhao then answered from above: "I think this matter really needs to be investigated in depth. The bandits have not reported anything, and the green salt is everywhere. But the whole court has unanimously spoken out about Northwest's fault!
Why? Who is raising the issue at this time for what purpose? Yushitai - you have neglected your duty!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and retreated directly from the court.
So? Nothing happens in the northwest! Nothing happens in the southwest! Is there someone who wants to cause trouble in the court?
It feels like His Majesty is giving him a blow!
It's just a slap in the face! Only by knocking it out can we buy more time for Northwest to deal with this matter! We can't let the news spread that everyone in the court is questioning.
Emperor Wen Zhao called the Sixth Prince, "You and the Censor will go to the south of the Yangtze River!"
The Sixth Prince understood immediately: "Don't worry, my son is not in a hurry." He had to hold off! He was not here to handle the case, but to cause trouble! If the incident he was involved in could not be found out for a while, then let it be his own business.
It's done.
Emperor Wen Zhao looked at his unreliable Xiaoliu and said, "If this is the case, the censor will probably impeach you when you come back."
"My son has not gone out to fight for his life, how can he still bear all these grievances?" The sixth prince stood up, bowed and said: "My son must prepare to leave immediately to say goodbye to his mother and concubine."
Go ahead! This matter needs to be done in a hurry and handled later.
But in the northwest, facing the current situation, the attitude is exactly the opposite.
It has to be seen as slow and slow, but the matter really needs to be done quickly, and there can be no delay at all.
Therefore, the banquet was still a good banquet. Tongtong sat next to the old lady and talked happily to the female relatives.
The eldest prince and the second prince were talking to the commander-in-chief and Yao Pinghai. Seeing the fourth master leaving and coming back, they asked, "But the princess is naughty again?"
The fourth master smiled and said, "I want to come over to pay my respects to some elders. I said that I can't say a few words when I meet you today. It's better to come and visit another day. That's all." After saying that, he smiled at several people and said, "The princess asked me to pay my respects to you."
The elders are annoyed because the younger generations are rude."
Don't dare!
The fourth master waved his hand, "You can do it!" He looked at Zuo Shuai Ma Changzong, "I heard that the emperor's uncle mentioned Zuo Shuai. The emperor said that in the battle of Bozhou, you led 3,000 cavalry and wiped out the opponent's 10,000.
Five thousand people, with seven arrows in their bodies, fought to the death. At that time, the emperor's uncle was only twelve years old. The emperor's uncle said that Zuo Shuai should be called the best general in the world."
Ma Changzong felt complicated and sighed, "At that time, the arrows on his body were pulled out by Tai|zu himself, and they were also given medicine by Taizu himself! When he was recovering from his injuries, Taizu would come and see him every day! The Duke of Guo updated
He stayed by his side, and he has not been separated from the general for half a month..." As he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, "I'm old, I can't talk about the past."
"You can't mention it, but the younger generations should remember that in today's world of Da Chen, who sheds blood and who fights for their lives. The rules set by Taizu back then were that if there is a position, there will be no honor, and if there is no position, there will be honor...
...In that merit book, the name of Commander-in-Chief Zuo must be seen every three to five pages. This must be remembered by future generations!"
This makes Ma Changzong feel very unhappy! Now, what he is most afraid of mentioning is that time.
Seeing that Ma Changzong was speechless, the fourth master mentioned the right commander with emotion, "When the Queen Mother was alive, she would make rice dumplings with her own hands every fifth month. Taizu liked red dates and glutinous rice the most. Every time I mentioned this
The Empress Dowager said that she didn’t know when the old prince would be able to return to the capital, and she didn’t know if he would bring the commander-in-chief with him when he returned to the capital! She mentioned the year when she was in the army, and the commander-in-chief was only nineteen... That was the first battle.
When the battle was won, it also coincided with the May Festival. You beheaded eighteen of the enemy's heads all by yourself! When you came back, you carried the heads in exchange for credit, saying that you didn't want anything else but the rice dumplings made by the Queen Mother. Sure enough, eighteen
They changed their heads for rice dumplings and ate them in one go. Therefore, from that time on, every May Festival, Taizu told the Queen Mother to remember to make red dates and glutinous rice rice dumplings, and put them in the basin on the table.
There must be eighteen rice dumplings inside. This custom has not changed until Chen founded the country and Taizu came to the world. Now the palace also makes rice dumplings every year, and only red date rice dumplings. When you eat red date rice dumplings every year, you will definitely talk about it.
Commander-in-Chief You, talking about Commander-in-Chief You killing eighteen generals in one battle... From now on, as long as there is a big day, red date rice dumplings will be included in the May Festival in the palace, and eighteen Taizu tablets will be placed on the table.
Eighteen people must be sacrificed in front of you! The rice dumplings on the table are placed for you. Both Taizu and the emperor are looking forward to it, maybe you will happen to be in the capital during the May Festival. There are more than twenty rice dumplings.
Years have passed, and I haven’t been looking forward to it... When I came to the northwest this time, before leaving, the queen specifically told the princess, and the princess even mentioned it, saying that she would definitely make it this year. She would have to make rice dumplings for you with her own hands, and they were made of red dates and glutinous rice.
I still hope you can eat eighteen, okay?"
Don’t say it! Don’t say it! Meng Jiuzhou was in tears at that time.
When I bring out these past memories again, there is a place in my heart that feels sore and swollen.
Speaking of the Yao family, the fourth master said, "Uncle Huang started the army that day. Thanks to the help of a powerful family like the Yao family, it was the Yao family that opened the family granary, so that the troops led by Taizu had a full meal.
eat……"
As a junior, Yao Pinghai did not know these past events! His father has passed away, and his mother married later and was not an eyewitness to that day. Only his aunt is alive and is a witness to that year.
But what can the old lady say? The Duke of Guo knows it all too well! It was just a last resort. The Yao family knew they couldn't do it, so they opened the granary and were worried about it, insisting on marrying their daughter to themselves. At that time, it was
Try your best to win over any forces you can! The Yao family is so sincere that they will naturally accept it.
Besides, it was said that the daughter of the Yao family was a very good-natured person, so she married her back. The couple had been together for so many years.
Now, King Yong is giving money to the Yao family!
He raised his eyes and glanced at his eldest grandson. The eldest grandson nodded slightly, and the old duke stopped asking.
These children of the royal family are really amazing. Especially this King Yong, when he comes back, he will not say these words for no reason. How can such a cold-faced person speak so softly and so touchingly?
Even when he talked about the Tuoba family, he also expressed emotion, praising the Tuoba family as a 'family of loyalty', "The lineage of the Tuoba family should be traced back to the early Tang Dynasty. It is recorded in Sui Dynasty books that
They are Dangxiang Qiang, after the Three Miao Dynasties. During the Tang Dynasty, your tribe united with Tuyuhun to fight against Tibet. Later, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Tuyuhun was destroyed by Tubo, and Dangxiang Qiang asked for help from the Central Plains Dynasty. It was the Tang Dynasty that created Songzhou
The land was used to settle your tribe. Later, your tribe was repeatedly used by the Tang Dynasty and was given the national surname! Today, the Tuoba family still uses Li as their surname, which shows that they value love and righteousness. The emperor's uncle said that you must have something
Righteousness, I have my own loyalty to repay it! Those who are loyal and righteous, please feel free to use it."
Li Renyan had an honest look on his face. He stood up, knelt down, and kowtowed in the direction of the capital, "I'm ashamed... I'm scared..."
The second prince stood up and helped the man, "Look, it's just gossip. King Yong just reacted when he saw the general. How could he still give such a great gift?"
So, Li Renyan sat down, but the stool underneath seemed a bit too much.
Lin Keqin squinted at Link Yong: Do you see clearly? King Yong is such a person! What he said was so beautiful and sincere, but I guess he was not planning how to use the knife in his heart!
