230.Chapter 230: The Loss of the County King
Although the gains were far less than expected, the saint did not seem to be disappointed. He put all the important ministers back into the government hall and their respective official offices, and let them continue to handle government affairs, leaving only his nephew Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, and the prince of the imperial history to accompany him. As for what these important ministers thought about the matter of Fang Cai, only they knew it.
After glancing at the silk silk with Li Hui's name written on it, the sage instructed him to take it and store the evidence for the three divisions: "Order Dali Temple to carefully inspect and compare the confessions of those people before to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." If they are indeed rebels, they are to be dealt with according to the law, and they are all exiled to the wilderness - "Since the first offender of the rebellion has not been put to death, the accomplices may be spared." However, for many people who grew up in rich and noble villages, going to a wild place to beg for a living is no different from death, and may even be more miserable than death.
"That'...... What about the eldest princess of Anxing? Does her uncle really want to let her go? Li Hui couldn't help asking. It is clear that the previous plan was to pass the confession of the eldest princess of Guò Anxing and get the news of another mastermind. But she always denied it, and shirked the charges of treason and rebellion cleanly, just throwing some chess pieces as a price.
If you are so obsessed, how can you talk about remorse? What about amending it? What about understanding? Fang Cai's tearful appearance was just that she used her woman's weakness to win the sympathy of the saints and ministers, and pretended to be a show! Perhaps, turning around, she has already begun to think about how to make waves again! It would be too dangerous to let her go like this.
"I've promised her." The saint smiled faintly, "Although the title is retained, it can be regarded as a severe punishment if the food is withdrawn." "Each eldest princess has six hundred seals, just like the king of the county. Saving these actual households can also enrich the treasury and do some practical things, which is not completely useless.
"There are many courtyards, manors and shops in her courtyard, and there are mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury, and there is no shortage of such real households." Li Hui twisted his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you calculate it according to her actual seal and the income from the manor and shop, and count those gold, silver and jewelry from unknown sources as bribery income to enrich the treasury?" ”
He always felt that the punishment received by Princess An Xing was too light, and he had to let her taste the "flesh pain" no matter what! If a man cannot be punished, can he not be punished with property? If she doesn't have enough money, how can she continue to live as she pleases? Squandering money to gain connections?
The prince frowned, and continued: "Sage, according to Wei Chen's estimates, these 'bribe-earned' jewels alone are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition, King Peng should have also given her a lot of courtyards and manors. Since even King Lu, who has always loved money, is willing to take these out, how can she confidently continue to occupy those other industries? If the two items are added up and filled into the Taifu Temple, it must also be a lot of money. ”
"......" The sage looked at the two young men with a smile and sighed, "I really shouldn't let you go to Dali Temple and Yushitai, I should send you all to Hubu and Taifu Temple." "The household department and the Taifu Temple are in charge of the taxes, property, revenues and expenditures of the Tang Dynasty treasury, and what they need most is a keen eye to find money and enrich the treasury anytime and anywhere.
"If you can share your uncle's worries, your nephew will go wherever you are." Li Huidao, by the way, also showed his loyalty to the prince, "Zixian is from the county lieutenant of Hucao, and he has a deep understanding of Hucao's affairs, if he has the opportunity to go to Hubu or Taifu Temple in the future, he should be considered like a fish in water." ”
"The people I value will naturally go anywhere!" The saint burst out laughing, and put them all back in the same way.
However, even if the private wealth of the eldest princess of Anxing was almost emptied openly, the king of Xin'an was still a little depressed. In his opinion, King Peng is not as good as Princess Anxing at all, and his actions after jumping out can be called digging his own grave. This case only folded him and the king of Langling County into it, but Princess Anxing was unscathed, which really disappointed him.
He will never forget that Princess Anxing is the one who will plan and tell the Yue Palace, and the main messenger who has been secretly fueling the flames and sowing discord among the royal brothers. If she is not disposed of, how can she be regarded as avenging the Yue Wang's lineage? How can his father and brother who are far away in Luoyang and the king of Chu who is in Jingzhou be completely at ease?
That night, in the dormitory on the west road of King Pu's mansion, accompanied by the sporadic sound of water, the sigh of the king of Xin'an County sounded: "Uncle actually let go of Princess Anxing so lightly...... What if she denies it? Even if the evidence is insufficient? Now that you have everything under control, you can create as much evidence as you want! Perhaps, the uncle still thinks that it is not enough to let her toss alone, it is better to let her continue to be a bait. ”
Li Hui leaned on the edge of the bath, and Prince Ren rolled up his sleeves to wipe his back, immersed in his own thoughts. Neither of them likes to serve the maid closely, so many things to serve the king of the county fell on Wang Yushi, and he has always been willing. However, at this moment, there are still some strong-blooded Wang Yushi who always have to exert all his strength to barely press down some thoughts that are about to move, but his eyes can't stop lingering on his back.
"Since you can use Princess Anxing to fish out King Peng, maybe you can fish out other people in a while, the sage should have a plan. Moreover, having removed all the chess pieces on her bright side, what else can she do in order to keep the dark chess? In order to make a show, she must also take a step back and pretend to change her mind. ”
"Even if she hibernates for a while, and she lives in peace from now on, just seeing her is enough to make people feel unhappy. What's more, I always feel that I can't judge her with common sense. If you underestimate her, you may find an opportunity for her to stir up troubles and storms. Speaking of which, the other mastermind hidden in the shadows was really neat and tidy, and had no compassion for King Peng and King Langling, and killed him when he said he would kill him—why didn't she worry about this person doing anything to her? ”
"Maybe it's just retreating. If she doesn't confess, she can use this secret to continue her dealings with that person and gain the upper hand. Even if that person had the intention to kill them all, she was in Chang'an, surrounded by guards, and there were Jinwuwei patrols near the princess's mansion, so it was difficult to break through the encirclement. And if one blow misses, that person will be extremely dangerous, and he will be betrayed by her in an instant, so he naturally does not dare to act rashly. ”
“…… Oh, the two sides are hypocritical and wrong, and use each other. Li Hui narrowed her eyes, "Then what benefits can she get from cooperating with this person?" Could it be that the death of King Huai has made her angry with all her brothers and sisters, so if she wants to kill all the royal family, she can be satisfied? "The eldest princess of An Xing has never lost her mind, but according to her actions, it seems that she has never considered leaving a way out for herself, and her thoughts and thoughts have always been elusive.
"Whatever benefit she wants, it will not change the fact that she is complicit with this man." The prince said, "Perhaps the defeat of King Peng is tantamount to cutting off his right arm and losing his alliance for that person, but it is a good opportunity for her." I think that she has always been the brainchild of King Peng before, although she is important, she has never been the one who makes decisions. In the future, she will not have to be controlled by King Peng, and she can complete her goals as she likes. ”
"So, King Peng's death is actually good news for her?" Li Hui's expression was slightly cold, "...... And one of her goals is the Pu Wangfu. I can't let her get her wish!! ”
"Don't worry, among these chess pieces she thrown, there are several high-ranking officials of no low rank. No, it was highly likely that these people knew more than she expected. As long as these fragments of information are combined, it may be possible to gradually discover the identity of the other mastermind. The prince said, "What the saint wants is nothing more than the details of the rebels." When the time comes, she will no longer be of any use, and she will naturally be able to get rid of it. ”
"Have you forgotten that she still has the remnants of the family when the abolished prince plotted rebellion?"
"Speaking of these people...... "the prince unfastened his shirt and stepped into the bath, "they have not appeared for a long time, perhaps there has been infighting, or some mistake. Otherwise, why did Princess Anxing send others to assassinate King Yue? There are at least hundreds of remnants of those families entrenched in Lingnan, and there is also a group of Nanban under Huan He's hands, who are extremely familiar with the topography of Lingnan. If they were to be sent, the people of the Yue Wangfu might not be unscathed. ”
"You mean, the Second Father, they are very likely to be assassinated again? Shaozhou to Guangzhou, maybe not peaceful? Or is there someone else who can instruct the remnants of the family? Li Hui groaned slightly, but he didn't realize that the person behind him had quietly overcome, "This person doesn't listen to the dispatch of Princess An Xing, does he only listen to the orders of King Peng or another mastermind?" Who took in the remnants of these families back then? ”
The clearly hot body has been close to each other, and the posture cannot be more intimate, but the person under him is still immersed in thoughts, and he has never realized the current state at all, Wang Zixian can't help but sigh: "Xuanqi ......"
“…… Maybe Huan He is no longer in Lingnan? His goal was always to depose the crown prince. Well, I'll have to write to my cousin to pay attention. Who is the one who can control the remnants of so many families? What are the plans? In the future, if there is no one to use, will Princess Anxing start using them again? ”
"Xuanqi ......"
"What do you think? Should we carefully check who King Peng had taken in? ”
"I don't think I need to think about it anymore since I don't have a clue for a while." Wang Zixian smiled helplessly.
Li Hui tightened his eyebrows: "This matter is very important, you have to think clearly--hmm......" The rest of the words were blocked by the kiss that was suddenly approached. I heard someone say in a low voice: "It's never too late to think about it another day, I've already spent so much time today, so I'll give up for the time being, how about it?" ”
Even if the "......" wants to continue to oppose it, the king of Xin'an has no time left.
