Chapter 322: Return to Beijing
The closer the carriage got to the capital, Wang Zhiyao, who had lost her 'memory', was a little nervous, and along the way, she could see that the investigation near the capital was extremely strict.
The notice issued by the government said that it would be strictly investigated in order to prevent the party from causing chaos.
She always felt that the government only wanted to find out Emperor Qianyuan during the strict investigation, but she was afraid that the Queen Mother would worry that Emperor Qianyuan would return to the capital alive.
I don't know if I don't try, in the assassination of Emperor Qianyuan, the strength shown by the Queen Mother, and the strength to stabilize the capital and compete with the princes are shocking.
Although there are reasons for the strange political system of the national dynasty, the empress dowager has not been messing around in recent years, gathering a group of people under the empress dowager, including several political factions and regional businessmen of the dynasty who have been suppressed by the Qianyuan Emperor.
Without the support of big businessmen such as Hui Merchants and Jin Merchants, the Queen Mother would not have been able to get to where she is now.
This is what Wang Zhiyao heard from Shang Taisun after pretending to be stupid and losing her memory.
Hui merchants, Jin merchants have been trying to meddle in maritime trade and bill affairs in the past ten years, but these two Emperor Qianyuan have always refused to let go, even if the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the imperial merchants under it are not as good as the Hui Merchants and Jin Chamber of Commerce, and they have wasted business opportunities, Emperor Qianyuan still refuses to interfere with outsiders, and whoever dares to talk too much will suppress whom.
Emperor Qianyuan's domineering and tyranny obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of many merchants, and the unique trade of the royal family was actually the original state-owned ...... When the country belonged to the emperor alone, Emperor Qianyuan completely ate meat by himself and did not let outsiders drink the rhythm of soup.
Eating alone is always jealous.
Although the dynasty was heavy on agriculture, it did not suppress the merchants too much, which made many more big merchants, who were already dissatisfied with wearing gold and silver, and wanted to pursue higher. I want to break the monopoly of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on huge profits such as sea trade.
It's not that Wang Zhiyao underestimated the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is afraid that she will not recognize this. But the Empress Dowager always wanted to make her voice heard in the court, and the rest of the roads were blocked by Emperor Qianyuan, and the Empress Dowager hit it off with the merchants who sought political and commercial ideas that were suppressed.
After seeing the dawn of hope, they are more like gamblers who put all their wealth on their hands to help the queen mother.
The Queen Mother opened the way with gold and silver, and really bought a lot of middle and low-level officials, combining gold and silver with power. The Queen Mother quickly gathered a lot of helpers.
In this way, the queen mother has the capital to calculate Emperor Qianyuan, compete with the princes, and stir up trouble in the court.
Wang Zhiyao has been analyzing the main reason for Emperor Qianyuan's distress this time, and if she can survive this time, Wang Zhiyao feels that Gu Tianze can completely inherit this force of seeking political advice.
When Emperor Qianyuan returns to the west, no matter who ascends the throne, Gu Tianze can protect himself and ...... at the same time If we can promote the formation of another capitalist polity, it will also be beneficial to the development of the whole social form.
As a finance graduate, she comes from a wealthy merchant family. There is an instinctive affection for businessmen, and it is not bent on preventing the birth of capital. Maintain feudal orthodoxy.
Teachers have taught that social forms cannot be stopped by manpower.
However, if capital wants to have a real say, it has to be after the industrial revolution...... Wang Zhiyao secretly laughed that she seemed too far away, judging from the current development, she would not see the industrial revolution or anything in her life.
If Emperor Qianyuan is safe, after this 'betrayal', Emperor Qianyuan's governing philosophy may change, and the merchants will be suppressed, and it is possible that they will collapse.
"What are you laughing at?"
Although Shang Taisun is a little infatuated with Wang Zhiyao, he has been taught too many times by the amnesiac Wang Zhiyao along the way, and he finally figured out what is the daily life of a nobleman, but it is always the best for Wang Zhiyao to eat. The young lady of the noble family is really torturous, but he can't bear it, and he doesn't want to treat her with violence.
He comforted himself, this is also to accumulate experience for the future king, although he is in the name of the grandson of the previous dynasty, he can follow his father to hide in Tibet since he was born, trying to achieve great things, and has never enjoyed the treatment of the prince and grandson.
So in the past half month, in addition to dealing with the grinding 'little goblin', his knowledge of enjoying glory and wealth has increased a few points.
Mrs. Shang's eyes lit up, and his hand couldn't help clenching the sword, and Wang Zhiyao looked very wise...... As if thinking of something, "What do you think of?" Laughing so happily? ”
Wang Zhiyao replied lightly, and maintained her usual coldness with a lukewarm appearance, "What you don't understand." ”
"You ......"
"If you were my husband, you wouldn't be angry with me."
Wang Zhiyao doesn't have to be the unattainable flower of kaolin, after a few temptations, she found that Shang Taisun may be a hidden shaking, the more cold you are, the more arrogant you are, the more he follows you.
She also tried her best to escape, but the grandson of Shang saw her too closely, twelve hours a day, there were people around her at all times, even if it was convenient, she would let the maid follow.
Wang Zhiyao didn't have Wang Zhixuan's medical golden finger, so she couldn't get the medicine that stunned people, so she could only try her best to ensure her own safety and urge Shang Taisun to go to Beijing.
She was very familiar with the streets in the capital, and she vaguely felt that Gu Tianze should have returned to the capital, and only in the capital could she successfully escape.
"Do you really think of me as a father-in-law?" Mrs. Shang's eyes were dark, and he couldn't say anything wronged, "Never let me get close, with a lady like you?" ”
Wang Zhiyao distanced herself from him and said coldly: "Let me remember it as soon as possible, and I will be at your mercy." You should understand the importance of chastity to women, in case you are not my husband, I let you get close, and ...... How do I deal with the real husband? ”
"You still don't believe me."
Shang Taisun's hand holding the sword bulged out, as if it was very hard.
"You should be confident, even if I lose the memory of our together, I will still fall in love with you!" Wang Zhiyao raised her chin slightly, the corner of her eyes focused on the scenery of the suburbs of Beijing, and held on for a while, "If you force me, I would rather die in front of you!" ”
Wang Zhiyao put on a chaste appearance, and secretly prayed that Shang Taisun would not really tear her face, of course she would not let Shang Taisun get close to her, there would be a fight, but between chastity and life, she would be very unproductive and choose her life.
If she encountered misfortune, she didn't expect Gu Tianze to understand, let alone stay by his side with Gu Tianze's mercy.
She could block Gu Tianze's gun in person, but at this moment, she cherished her life even more.
Without a man, she could have survived.
The days with Gu Tianze will gradually fade and become real memories.
Wang Zhiyao clenched her fists and said-for-tat: "I may not be able to beat you, but if you take advantage of others' danger, whether you are my husband or not, I ...... I'll fight with you to the death. ”
Shang Taisun's heart trembled, and the obsession in his eyes couldn't be concealed, and he turned back, "I will always prove that I am your father-in-law!" Let you have sex with me willingly. ”
In order to stabilize the situation and cover up the Empress Dowager's crime of plotting to assassinate Emperor Qianyuan, the Empress Dowager did not order the blockade of the capital, and at the same time sent people to actively search for Emperor Qianyuan.
Shang Taisun has a guide from the Queen Mother, and it is very convenient for them to enter the city.
In front of the capital, Shang Taisun asked Wang Zhiyao to wear a hat and hide his face with a thin veil, and in his return to the Queen Mother, he didn't say that he caught Wang Zhiyao.
The strange atmosphere in the court made the capital at the feet of the Son of Heaven a little less prosperous and lively, but the capital was still the richest place in the dynasty, showing a noble atmosphere that was different from the rest of the towns.
Shang Taisun looked at the direction of the palace in the center of the capital and said in a low voice: "Although the capital is not mine now, one day, I will take you to the palace and sit on the dragon chair!" ”
Wang Zhiyao nodded absentmindedly, thinking about how to escape the entanglement of Shang Taisun.
Judging from the news I heard, the situation in the capital was not optimistic, Wang Yixin was imprisoned in Zhenbei Mansion Division and tortured, and his grandfather was also imprisoned...... Wang Zhiyao can't get anyone's help in the capital, and once she falls into the hands of the government, she may not as well follow the strange personality and masochistic tendencies of Shang Taisun.
Hearing the sound of hurried horses' hooves, Wang Zhiyao flashed to the side of the street, surrounded by dozens of brocade guards.
Wang Zhiyao saw the man's face clearly, frowned, it was her father-in-law, the Duke of Dingguo.
Yes, Dingguo Gong's low-key introverted behavior for decades obviously temporarily preserved the Gu family.
Before the Queen Mother received evidence from Wang Yixin to testify against Gu Tianze, she would not move Dingguo Gong and Empress Gu, but Dingguo Gong's freedom was restricted.
The surrounding people talked about it, "They all say that Gu Tianze is a murderer of rebellion, how can he decide that the Duke of the Kingdom is good?" Didn't go to prison? ”
"You don't know that Duke Dingguo complained to His Royal Highness the Prince and the Queen Mother, that he no longer recognizes Gu Tianze."
"In order to keep the Gu family's glory and wealth, what is it to not recognize your son?"
"That is, I don't think Gu Tianze is like the son of Dingguo Gong, who in the whole capital doesn't know that Dingguo Gong is kind to others, and Gu Tianze is arrogant and domineering."
"Didn't anyone say that Gu Tianze was His Majesty's Xià before...... Bastard? ”
"If it's true, Gu Tianze plotted to kill His Majesty, isn't it even as good as a beast?"
"Shhhhh
Wang Zhiyao's face was expressionless, and her clear eyes met the gaze of Shang Taisun, "What are you looking at?" Who is Gu Tianze in their mouths? Is it really the illegitimate son of His Majesty? ”
No matter how shocked she was in her heart, Wang Zhiyao would not let Shang Taisun see it, she didn't believe the folk rumors that Dingguo Gong had abandoned Gu Tianze, but she couldn't accept that Dingguo Gong didn't do anything for Gu Tianze, and let Gu Tianze hide in Tibet and was wanted by the government.
Others can't understand it, don't Dingguo Gong understand the reason why Gu Tianze can't show up?
Dingguo Gong is not this group of people who don't know secrets, he was the most admired and trusted uncle of Emperor Qianyuan!
Shang Taisun naturally didn't see Wang Zhiyao's abnormality, and said to him: "I'm afraid that you will offend the Duke of Dingguo by being reckless, he is not a good person, greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for wealth and nobility." ”
Wang Zhiyao nodded obediently: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, I think he is not even as good as a beast." (To be continued......)
