Chapter Sixty-Four: Good News

The emperor has been in a bad mood in recent days, and has been staying in the Qianqing Palace recently, even if he has time, he has a lot of duty to accompany Chen Guifei in the Xiyan Palace, but he never chooses to stay overnight, and he will generally return to the Qianqing Palace after eating.

The emperor has always been upset about the war at the border, the women are shrinking in their palaces, if they change to the usual, they will have a chance encounter with the emperor in the imperial garden, and then roll on the sheets, but no one dares to touch the angry and injured lion, and it is not good to say that it is a lifeless.

When the ice and snow melted in March, there was no joy in the palace, and three days later, a volume of 100,000 urgent military tokens returned to the imperial city, everyone thought that the second son of the An family died young, how many people regretted that they were jealous of the talent, and how many people gloated in the back.

The emperor opened the border emergency report uncertainly, read its contents at a glance and ten lines, and suddenly laughed loudly, and the palace, which had been suppressed for two whole months, finally had a sense of vitality at this moment.

Some courtiers who were not afraid of death secretly took aim at the urgent report, thinking that it might be the news that the second son of the An family had escaped safely, but when they saw the vigorous and powerful handwriting on it, they felt that it was not the same thing at all, just like a fish bone stuck in the throat and couldn't cough it out and couldn't swallow it.

The second son of the An family was wounded, but he woke up three days later, and the Tatar king gathered the entire Tatar army at this time, and under the siege of a total of 400,000 troops, the second son of the An family was about to be killed under the horse.

After learning of this, the second prince carefully observed the Tatar terrain, and immediately sent people to cut all the tents into pieces, brought a large amount of tung oil and fire oil, flew into the Tatar city in the vast mountains, burned all the 400,000 troops of the Tatar king, entered the Tatar palace, captured the Tatar king and a group of royal family members, and was on the way back to Beijing at the moment.

The Tatar king was still drinking and having fun the day before the city was broken, and when the second son of the An family was killed, he hurriedly fled to the treasury, trying to escape from the dark passage with a large amount of gold and silver, but he didn't want to be caught by the second son of An, the second son was escorting a group of habitual criminals, and a large number of gold, silver and jewelry returned to Beijing, the second prince was seriously injured and stormed the city of the Tatar king, and when the war ended, some of his body was not supported, and he begged the emperor to send reinforcements.

The courtiers looked at An Ruozhi and the British Duke with a strange look in their eyes, the mustaches on the chins of the British Duke and An Ruozhi were both upturned, and everyone felt that these two old foxes were happy in their hearts!

To tell the truth, the British prince is happy to be crooked, yes, among his many descendants, the most promising is An Ruozhi, but he is only a civil official, which can make him feel distressed to death, and his grandson is more than a non-competitive, not raised by his own biological mother, then thank God, the grandchildren who are born out of the concubine are completely raised by their daughters-in-law, and at this moment An Yeting is fighting for him, and the old guy shouts that there is a successor.

An Ruozhi scolded that kid one hundred and eighty times in his heart, that kid was capable, he actually dared to take the lead alone, she refused to come back when she asked him to come back, she had to do that kind of gambling thing, why didn't he die at the border pass when he was seriously injured, and the province came back to dirty his ground.

With a wave of his hand, the emperor ordered Han Lian to personally lead an army of 50,000 to respond, and arranged for the imperial doctor to go with the army, canonized An Yeting as the general of Zhenguo, and commanded 200,000 Praetorian Guards.

At the same time, a major event happened in Yuguo, King Guanglin was assassinated, and all the spearheads were pointed at the Jiang Guogong Mansion, and the prince captured an assassin sent by Jiang Guogong, and was accidentally killed by the other party during the interrogation, and the assassin's fate was also unfortunately killed.

After Jiang Guogong knew about this, he almost smashed the whole house angrily, and secretly scolded himself for raising a bunch of rice buckets, but he was not very anxious, crises are often accompanied by opportunities, although An Yeting is already handsome, but after all, he is young and seriously injured, if he continues to collapse, he may really die young, and the emperor's trust in a person is also limited.

Therefore, this time he will definitely not be able to go out more than the previous person, and he is in the first place, he is hoping to canonize a king with a different surname, and someone will send a pillow when he is really sleepy.

Hope is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel, the emperor on the third day of the death of King Guanglin, he announced the Tui En Decree in the court, and quickly sent it to the fiefdom, Jiang Guogong was completely collapsed when he learned of this, everything was over, and the assassination of the royal family was a capital crime of the Nine Clans.

Jiang Guogong has begun to send his descendants out unconsciously, and the day before he was about to plot a rebellion, a holy decree from the emperor came to the Jiang family, and the Fu family was also taking the opportunity to prepare for this, and the queen mother, the queen, and Fu Guifei could be regarded as surging with each other.

When Li Mingde, the emperor's personal administrator, moved out the holy decree, Jiang Guogong was ready to kill the gelding dog in front of him, but he didn't expect that a thing would disappoint everyone, and the emperor's holy decree stated that Jiang Guogong had deprived Jiang Guogong of 100,000 military power in the frontier, and deposed the titles of his two sons marquis, removed several side official positions, and fined him for a year with nothing but Yulu.

The other family patriarchs who were watching almost fell to the ground with their jaws on the ground, how much did the emperor look forward to the fall of Jiang Guogong, but now the thunder and rain are small, what is the matter?

When Jiang Guogong had already begun to plot a rebellion, there was naturally no possibility of stopping, but he didn't expect that the British Duke would also get involved in this matter, and the emperor accused him of many of his descendants, Jiang Guogong was disappointed, and he knew that the emperor would not blame him, just waiting for him to bow his head.

Although the Fu family is a civilian family, the brother of the Fu family's alliance concubine, the general of the border pass is not such a good master, plus the Praetorian Guards at this moment are all settled, no matter what, he can't attack the palace lightly, and the Yuguo court finally presents a three-legged posture.

At this moment, the emperor was very relieved to deal with the tail end of the Tatar War, beheaded the deputy general soldier of the border pass and the descendants of his family, punished his three clans, and most of the other people involved in the case were sent into exile, or sold into slavery, and all the nobles who were with them were dealt with, and the emperor also found out a lot of secrets and took them away.

In the late spring of April, the emperor began to recruit new soldiers, the border army, the Praetorian Guard needed to be rebuilt, the emperor began to redivide the army, the Praetorian Guard was the best of all the armies, with an annual salary of three taels of silver every year, which almost made other people jealous and red-eyed, and the people signed up for the Praetorian Guard.

You must know that one tael of silver is enough for a family of three to eat and wear for a year, Jiang Guogong was a soldier in previous years for two taels of silver a year, this is already the limit, the emperor limited the establishment of the Praetorian Guard to 200,000, that is to say, the annual salary of a Praetorian Guard will cost 600,000 taels of silver a year, and anything else is not counted in it, everyone is waiting to see the emperor's jokes.

The emperor is young, he has not experienced such a thing, he has copied a lot of families in the capital, and he has not let go of those from other places, but at most it will not exceed six million taels of silver, the expenses of the state, the marriage of the prince of the palace of the prince, which one does not need money, the six million taels of silver is about that to say, how much can be used no one has a general.

But I didn't expect the emperor to come to a new trick, wantonly reclaimed the barren mountains, made terraces on the mountains, and built a national water conservancy, more than 200,000 Praetorian Guards became strong men, building bridges and roads for the people, and the grain grown in the barren mountains made the Praetorian Guards self-sufficient, which not only filled the treasury, but also created a good reputation for the emperor.

Land is generally the private property of the king, unless you spend money to buy it, or it is rewarded by the king, no one can use the land lightly, even Jiang Guogong is no exception, and the eyes of jealousy are going to be red.

At this time, the emperor began to develop commerce again, and those old old-fashioned people in the court suddenly jumped up, what a joke, the emperor wants to be a businessman, so since then who else in the world will put them in the eyes of these officials, since ancient times, the status of businessmen is the lowest, even if they are rich, they are just nouveau riche.

If the emperor has now improved the status of merchants, then what are they who have been studying hard for many years, it is corrupting the natural norms, and one by one they will die in the court, and the emperor will be tired of it.

He himself was also influenced by feudal education, and many times he would rather accept the theory that everything is inferior only to high reading, but at this moment he has no way out, so he can only find a few cities to try first, which also adheres to the theory that the first rich lead the later rich.

The old old-fashioned people saw the emperor's expression relaxed, thinking that the emperor listened to their words, and increased the momentum one by one, and the emperor finally had no strength to fight with them there, so he simply took the white silk, poisonous wine, and daggers to the court.

The courtiers suddenly became rabbits with numb claws one by one, shouting that demons are evil and calamity to the country, and the people who are being turned into demons by the courtiers at this moment are tired of being crooked in the arms of the eldest grandson Yuanhong, enjoying the afternoon sunshine and drinking fresh milk.
