Chapter 147: The Beginning of Trouble
Rui Concubine didn't know where she got the courage, and after she spoke against Su Wanqing, she left without humility or arrogance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info Huaqin asked tentatively, "Niangniang wants to come forward?" β
"You go to Concubine Xian and ask her for help! If she doesn't want to, you should know what to exchange for. β
Tuqin nodded firmly and withdrew.
At this time, Su Wanqing's appearance will not play a big role. I can move Song Xintong this time, but what about next time? Li Cairen is not going to suffer yet, maybe Song Xintong will hold more and more grudges. Only if the emperor has the will to move the palace, can he have the opportunity to take Li Cairen out of the palace.
In the final analysis, this matter should be arranged by Concubine Xian. Chu Xiuze had already left the capital, and it was not so easy to invite Yang Yushu.
But Su Wanqing grasped the key to breaking her, this virtuous concubine is also persistent, she was originally a little maid in the kitchen of the palace of Annan County, and she happened to fall in love with Chu Xiuze, the prince of Annan County. After Chu Xiuze went to Yanjing, she actually offered to go to the Great Xia Palace to do fine work, just for that infatuated relationship.
That's why she obeyed Chu Xiuze unconditionally. She was so crazy, Su Wanqing was happy to fulfill her and Chu Xiuze.
Not long after Huaqin returned from Yikun Palace, he heard the news that Concubine Xian had arrived at Gyeongbokgung Palace. Everything was as Su Wanqing expected, and the scourge of Li Cairen's punishment of kneeling naturally dissipated.
"It's a pity that today's little master Rui Concubine misunderstands Niangniang deeply, and I'm afraid that it will also make Min Jieyu change her opinion of Niangniang."
Su Wanqing smiled sadly, "Isn't this the result?" Ruolan is pregnant now, I really hope that she is well, she is simple and innocent, and she can always be by his side in the future. β
Huaqin glanced out at the gloomy sky, accompanied by gusts of wind, "Fortunately, Li Cairen doesn't have to kneel, I see that it is about to snow, otherwise she really can't stand it." β
"Have you received any messages lately?" Su Wanqing asked while loosening the soil for the flowers in the potted plant.
"Madam is still urging you to solve the trouble of Song Kang as soon as possible, if you want to unite with the Rouran people to destroy Great Xia, there must be this move."
Su Wanqing stopped and looked into the distance, and united with the Rouran people to destroy Great Xia, which was simply luring wolves into the room. The eldest princess really wants to return to the country and wants to go crazy, and she doesn't care about the people anymore.
"Why didn't Brother Ze persuade his aunt? Could it be that he thinks so too? He was familiar with military books, and he should know the righteousness, and it stands to reason that this should not be the case. Su Wanqing shook her head helplessly, she really didn't want to become a sinner through the ages, and the matter of getting rid of Song Kang could only be pushed back and forth.
In the days that followed, the situation in the government and the opposition continued to change. The forces that intercepted Xuyi's salt finally reappeared, and the originally cheap salt was suddenly raised by them, and for a while, the people were embarrassed, and the poor were complaining. While the government used the salt storage in the Dagu warehouse to provide relief, it also sent Qin to check along the line of private salt sellers, but they gained little.
"The government and government forces in various places have captured the private traders who sell salt, and it is understood that those private traders are basically forced, and the life and death of their families are in the hands of the thieves. The person who negotiated with the private salt seller was dressed in a cloak, his voice could not distinguish between men and women, and his whereabouts were elusive, and he seemed to be a person from the rivers and lakes. β
The emperor said, "The thief is going for the profit after selling the salt, and when the salt merchant pays the silver, won't he be able to find out?" β
"The emperor doesn't know that the thief is extremely cunning. They use ordinary people to connect, and then the people send them to the designated places, most of them are strange and treacherous, or sink into the Yangtze River, or send them into the mountains, it is really difficult to find a trace. β
When the emperor heard this, he was furious, grabbed the jade screen in front of him and fell to the ground, "Damn! β
"These people are deep-minded, and they have the lives of the people in their hands, and the officials and soldiers really don't know where to start."
Xuyi Yanbian has not yet figured out the clue, and there is news of the Rouran army pressing the border demonstration in northern Xinjiang, but this time the Rouran people seem to have learned to be obedient, and they frequently scolded and fought, as if they were deliberately provoking the Great Xia soldiers. After Great Xia sent troops, the Rouran people ran fast.
"Rouran is a barbarian, where did you learn such a trick?"
The Emperor had a headache, and his mind was buzzing like a bee. When the military report came, the generals who had shouted for loyalty in the past could not say why, he was so irritated that he simply sent them all out, and lay on his side on the Nine Dragons Throne.
I don't know how long it took, Li Rong Guifang reported softly, "Your Majesty, Xue Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, asked to see him with the director." β
"What kind of excitement is the Ministry of Industry coming to join in again?!"
"Lord Xue presented, a director of the headquarters said that he could solve the confusion of the saint about the Xuyi salt change, so he asked to see him."
The emperor still believed that capable people were everywhere, and at such a critical time, he announced the meeting of the Ministry of Industry and the chief minister.
"Wechen once read an ancient book in which he mentioned the principle of 'precipitation'. That is, the water of the great river rushes from the upstream to the downstream, often carrying sediment, so there is the saying of 'continent'. The gold and silver are too heavy, and they will inevitably not flow when they sink into the Yangtze River, so the thieves will choose to sink the river with broken gold. Weichen thought that as long as he carefully observed in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, he would be able to find clues. β
The emperor also knew a little about the origin of the alluvial continent, which sounded very reasonable. It's always a train of thought, and maybe you can really look down this road. The emperor immediately announced the cabinet ministers and arranged the matter.
However, he didn't know that this matter was handled by Su Wanqing. Although Su Wanqing stayed in the Chengqian Palace all day, he knew the situation outside very clearly. She really couldn't bear the emperor's excessive worry, so she looked for someone and mentioned him a little.
"Niang, did you ever think that you shouldn't have done this? If the old lady knows, I'm afraid..."
"Could it be that my aunt will kill me again?" Su Wanqing seemed to be smiling easily. She has already lost everything, and the manpower that can be mobilized was arranged by the eldest princess in the early years, she can persuade those people to do things, but she can't stop them from reporting to the eldest princess, "I'm about to go back, I'm afraid it's hard to see him again in this life, so let me do something for him at the end!" β
As soon as the words fell, Yu Ying's shouts came from outside. saw her walk in in a hurry, wanting to breathe but couldn't, "Niangniang, something happened to Xianfu Palace." β
Su Wanqing was shocked when he heard this, "But Ruolan's child..."
Yu Ying waved her hand again and again, "No, the imperial heir was saved, but Jieyu Niangniang fainted." β
"What the hell is going on?!"
"Today, there are many officials in the court who suddenly impeached Yu for selling official behavior, and put the so-called evidence in front of the emperor. In the past, Lord Yu was upright and selfless, and his personal relationship with officials in the court was not very good. Today, no one defended him, and the emperor had to send him to prison. When the news reached Xianfu Palace, Jieyu fainted in a hurry, but fortunately saved the imperial heir. β
Su Wanqing gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you know who is behind this matter?" β
Yu Ying's eyes were a little evasive, "I heard, it seems to be... He is the protΓ©gΓ© of Song Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War..."
