Chapter 1040 1040 Take action, don’t let anyone go
After Xiao Shaorong received the news, he rushed to Yanbei and brought the news he had found.
"All clues point to the emperor." This is the news brought by Xiao Shaorong, which is not accurate.
"What do you mean?" The prince believed that Xiao Shaorong would not talk nonsense.
"I asked people to investigate all the way down, but no matter how I checked, the clues pointed to our Emperor, but I doubt that someone else was involved in this matter." Xiao Shaorong also had a headache about this matter.
Xiao Shaorong was not surprised that the emperor would take action. The person who least wanted the prince to have an heir in the world was Emperor Tianqi.
If the prince has an heir, it means that it will be even more difficult for the emperor to take back Yanbei.
"Shiqing?" The moment he received the news, the first person the prince suspected was Xiao Shiqing.
She has the ability to move and have the ability.
"There is no evidence." Xiao Shaorong also suspected Xiao Shiqing. In addition to Xiao Shiqing, Xiao Shaorong also suspected Tianwu: "The Queen of Tianwu may also take action. Not long ago, Queen Tianwu's people met with the emperor in secret. No one knew about them.
What agreement was reached?"
Feng Qi went to Tianwu, brought a large amount of funding to Emperor Tianwu, and also won Emperor Tianwu's trust. With Feng Qi's help, Emperor Tianwu's power increased greatly, and he gradually had the tendency to suppress Queen Tianwu.
As one rises and the other falls, Emperor Tianwu gains power, and Queen Tianwu naturally suffers a setback.
"I don't need evidence. Since I suspect it's them, I'll take action." The prince's face was filled with anger and murderous intent. Everyone knew that the prince was angry.
"Our current manpower is limited." Xiao Shaorong said with an embarrassed look.
"You don't need to employ people, just use legitimate means. You inform Prince Rui and ask him to release all the backlog of colored glaze and sell it to Tianwu. No matter how much Tianwu's colored glaze sells, we will be 10% lower than them.
"
Most of Queen Tianwu's income comes from Liuli. Over the years, she has relied on the proceeds from the sale of Liuli to bribe officials and privately support the army. Without this money, he sees how Queen Tianwu can continue to bribe officials and support those soldiers.
"The salt accumulated in the seaside fish village can also be sold. All the salt is 30% lower than the Tianqi official price. Tell the Wu family and Hu family in the south to hand over the evidence collected over the years of collusion between southern businessmen and officials.
Go up and expose those empty grain depots."
There is chaos in the officialdom in the south. The collusion between officials and businessmen has blocked the business in the south. Even the emperor's people can't reach out there. Those people are so bold that they even dare to touch the treasury. There is nothing they dare not do.
Now, except for three large granaries in the south, everything else is empty.
He had only learned about this matter from the Wu family and the Hu family not long ago, and he had not done anything about it because he wanted to collect evidence so that he could take down the Yun family and the Yang family in one fell swoop.
But now, he doesn't want to wait any longer.
He wanted to see how their good emperor could appease the soldiers on the border and calm the panic of the people when this incident broke out.
"My lord, if this matter comes to light, Tianqi will be in chaos. By then, I'm afraid that Tianwu and Beichen will take advantage of it." As a confidant of the prince, Xiao Shaorong naturally understands the prince's anger, but as a citizen of Tianqi, he does not want to see it after all.
Apocalypse and chaos.
"Take advantage of the opportunity? It would be good if Apocalypse doesn't take advantage of the opportunity at this time. If I am not wrong, Queen Tianwu is probably talking to the emperor, and it is probably a matter of Tianwu's ownership." Beichen is in civil strife, Tianwu is in civil strife, and theirs is
His Majesty the Emperor is not stupid, he must have seen an opportunity and wanted to send troops.
And he didn't want Tianqi's family to be the only one in power. If Tianqi was the only one, he would rest for two or three years. According to the emperor's urine, he would definitely take action against him.
This is not what he wants to see...
What he wants to see is a balanced Four Kingdoms, where no one can swallow up anyone else.
"Ownership of Tianwu? Is Queen Tianwu betraying the country?" Xiao Shaorong looked at the prince with wide eyes, his face full of suspicion.
How is this possible? How could the majestic Tianwu Queen betray her country selfishly?
"If she sells it, she might be able to own half of Tianwu. If she doesn't sell it, she will have nothing. Do you think she will sell Tianwu?" Queen Tianwu came to the emperor at this time, and she must be hoping to get help from the emperor.
The emperor has never been a kind person. If the emperor takes action, the price Queen Tianwu will pay will definitely not be small.
"Internal fighting is your own business. No matter who has the power in the end, it will still be the Tianwu people. But if we Tianqi intervenes, Tianwu will not be Tianwu." Xiao Shaorong is a son of an aristocratic family, and the education he received is to put family first.
Heavy.
It doesn't matter how much the children in the family fight or argue, but outsiders must not be allowed to take advantage of the situation and destroy the family.
"Queen Tianwu, she is from Shifang World." Others will not betray Tianwu, but Queen Tianwu will.
This is why the prince doubts Queen Tianwu.
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Shaorong was silent. It is not his own country, so there is no pressure to sell.
Xiao Shaorong sighed heavily and asked: "Your Majesty, where is Queen Shiqing?"
Not long ago, the emperor appointed Shiqing as his queen, and she is now regarded as the queen of Tianqi.
"I remember that the Phoenix Guards were used by Ji Xin?" If possible, the prince really doesn't want to take action against Shiqing.
Shiqing's father was kind to him, and he promised to take good care of Shiqing, but Shiqing's performance over the years has really disappointed him.
"Yes, but Ji Xin is missing. My people suspect that she went to the world of ten directions." Although there is no conclusive evidence, Xiao Shaorong knows that Ji Xin is the one who killed Feng Ning, the young master of the Qi family and the young master of the Wang family.
The murderer of the Lord, he has been looking for Ji Xin's whereabouts, but found nothing.
"I will settle Ji Xin's matter with her when she gets to Shifang World. You have someone send a message to Shiqing and tell her that the Feng Pei that can mobilize the Phoenix Guards is in the hands of the emperor. Then you can help her get the Feng Pei."
Pei." The prince didn't want to kill Shiqing completely, so he could only push her into a desperate situation and cut off all her wings so that she would never be able to stand up again.
Thinking about it, compared to being forced into a desperate situation without any hope of making a comeback, it would be no worse than death.
"My lord, are you going to take action against the Feng Guards?" Xiao Shaorong knew the situation of the Feng Guards very well.
The Feng Guards had already rebelled, and they were now following Ji Xin's orders. The prince asked him to help Shiqing get the Feng Pei, presumably to lure the Feng Guards to show up.
"Well, since it is useless, there is no need to exist." The existence of the Phoenix Guards is a thorn in the side after all.
The woman who attacked his son this time was very well hidden. If she hadn't been exposed herself, they wouldn't have been able to find out.
The prince is not sure whether the Phoenix Guards were involved in the attack on his son this time, but...
