Chapter 498: Door, Deal
Linghu Mansion, backyard.
In the spacious hall surrounded by thousand-year-old plane trees, a line of green jewelry is neatly placed on the silver-white table.
There are more than 100 pieces of bracelets, rings, and a complete set of necklaces carved from the finest jadeite, which are clear and transparent, and bright green.
And in each piece of jewelry, there are top master practitioners who have carved a large defensive array into it, and more than 100 pieces of jewelry are put together, which is a solid defensive array - its defensive power is comparable to the power of a state city's urban defense array.
Linghu Qingqing stood beside the long case, looking at this set of carefully made jewelry with a smile on his face.
This is the jewelry he is going to give to 'Silver Fish'.
Although she has not yet made up her mind to take her back to Linghu's house, as a woman that Linghu Qingqing fancies, she should be treated indispensably.
The defensive power of this set of jewelry is comparable to that of a state city...... The city defense array of a state city with a radius of thousands of miles is compressed on one person, and you can imagine how outstanding such a defense is.
The woman he made the fox green deserved such protection.
Looking up at the sky, it was still early, it was not yet noon, and it was still a long time before nightfall. The dignified Jin Zuo Xiang, naturally he can't go to the kind of place where the warblers sing and dance in broad daylight, which is too embarrassing for the Zuo Xiang.
As long as it was night, he would definitely go straight to the Lonely Moon Residence.
Thinking of the delicate and innocent face of the silver fish, Hu Qingqing couldn't help but feel a little warm, just like when he was in his teens, when he first saw his first love.
It had been many, many years since he had been touched like this.
Linghu A walked in tremblingly, and gently owed to Linghu Qingqing: "Master." β
Linghu Qingqing raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
Linghu A smiled bitterly, and a piece of jade in his palm flew in front of Linghu Qingqing: "The news that Yuzhou just came back...... Princess Jingsheng's group of face-leaders did a lot of things in Yuzhou, but unfortunately, the rabble was defeated with one blow. β
Linghu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, took Yu Jue, and quickly read the urgent information inside.
Yuzhou is too close to Anyang City, even if it doesn't pass through the space gate, the masters of the Fetal Treasure Realm can easily make a round trip in an hour; Yuzhou is too rich, so the Linghu family also has huge interests in Yuzhou, so the Linghu family also has countless ears and eyes in Yuzhou.
Hundreds of wealthy families in Yuzhou joined forces to form a joint fleet to besiege Yuzhou City, and the top wealthy families in Yuzhou City dispatched private armies to raid various government yamen, wanting to kill the subordinates of Yuzhou Duke 'Huo Xiong'.
This matter was too big, and the secret agents of the fox family sent the news back as soon as possible.
"What does the head of the family mean?" Ling Hu Qingqing raised his eyebrows.
"I heard that the head of the family intends to join forces with Princess Jingsheng to give Yuzhou Duke a good look. "Although Linghu Ayi is only a servant, he is a servant who has followed Linghu Qingqing all his life, and his authority in the Linghu family definitely overwhelms the current Linghu family master.
"...... Let them not interfere. Linghu Qingqing snorted coldly: "Duke Yuzhou, it is the Duke of Yuzhou who is sealed by His Majesty, this face, our Linghu family, is to give it to Your Majesty...... Moreover, Princess Jingsheng is His Majesty's 'niece', hehe, this kind of royal internal business, let them go. β
"At the moment of the war, the pressure on Dawu's side is huge, what happens to Wenchen's side, it doesn't matter about our business, but I, the Dajin general, must stabilize my position and not act rashly. Linghu Qingqing said coldly: "Tell the head of the family, the interests of a mere Yuzhou, is it worth me to make the fox family fight?"
"Tell him that as the head of the Linghu family, he has a bigger and bigger spirit, unless it is the overall interests of more than ten Yuzhou, otherwise, it is not worth the Linghu family's action. With a wave of Linghu Qingqing's big sleeves, Linghu Ayi bowed slightly and walked out of the hall with a smile.
"Princess Jingsheng...... Hum. Ling Hu Qingqing smiled coldly: "Inexplicable." β
In Jiuqu Xitang, Princess Jingsheng, who was dressed in a red dress, was lying comfortably on the soft couch, leaning sideways, holding her head with her left hand, and looking at the group of koi gathered by the platform with a smile.
Several palace maids took the carefully prepared fish food and sprinkled it in the water little by little, and the fish jumped and grabbed the food, which was very lively.
Princess Jingsheng smiled brightly, these fat-headed and big-eared koi fish, just like her ministers under her skirts, give them a little sweetness, and they will give up all their dignity and decency, and let her drive them with all their hearts.
Interesting, so funny.
Headed by Ma Xiangru, there is the palace of imperial history, the hall of ceremonies, the hall of punishment, the hall of work, the hall of agriculture, and the hall of transfer...... They are all young talents in today's Great Jin Dynasty, and they have great power in their hands. More than a dozen such powerful ministers have joined forces, and they can set off a huge storm in Yuzhou, right?
Look at the timekeeping incense that has been burned for most of the time, more than an hour has passed in this world, and Yuzhou is already a wither?
This kind of feeling of sitting in Anyang City and just one word can make a big state completely turbulent......
"Power...... No wonder those stinky men are all crazy about chasing power. Princess Jingsheng sighed faintly: "But this palace doesn't need power, just need to master these men, and their power is all from this palace!"
Stretching out his hand, a little eunuch cleverly handed over a cup of fragrant tea that was lukewarm and just right.
Princess Jingsheng took a sip of fragrant tea and smiled with satisfaction.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded, and Ma Xiangru and a dozen other ministers of the court and the central government, who were still here more than an hour ago to listen to Princess Jingsheng's lesson, trotted in one by one with a dead face.
"Your Highness. Ma Xiangru ran to Princess Jingsheng first, and his body trembled slightly.
"Huh?" Princess Jingsheng put down the teacup and sat up straight suddenly: "What's the matter? What's the matter, it's worth your panic?"
Ma Xiangru took a deep breath, he looked at Princess Jingsheng tremblingly, and said in a deep voice: "An hour and a quarter of an hour ago, we ordered the four hundred and twenty-five Yuzhou wealthy families who were connected by our communication, and they joined forces to mobilize the private fleet to launch an attack on Yuzhou City. β
"It's a good thing...... Princess Jingsheng smiled slightly: "Yuzhou Duke 'Huo Xiong' is not in Yuzhou, his group of subordinates must have been killed......, right? As soon as the Yuzhou Gongpu took office, he levied and extorted violently, forcing the people of Yuzhou to rebel, which is the crime of the Yuzhou Gong!"
Ma Xiangru looked at Princess Jingsheng directly: "Four hundred and twenty-five wealthy families joined forces, and one hundred and seven thousand private warships besieged it...... In just half an hour, the whole army was wiped out...... Of the private army of 425 wealthy families, only tens of thousands were killed on the spot, and the others all surrendered!"
Princess Jing Sheng's rosy cheeks suddenly turned pale.
Her two red lips, which were smeared with bright rouge, were also like sun-dried fish, becoming dry and without the usual moist luster.
She looked at Ma Xiangru blankly and hissed, "How can this be? 107,000 warships...... Are they all dead?"
It's not that Princess Jingsheng hasn't seen a big scene.
When she was young, she once accompanied Sima Xian to inspect the forbidden army directly under the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division at that time.
γ‘ζ°γ€~(8)~1~Chinese ηΆ²ΟΟΟ.Ο~8.~1zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ
At that time, although the forbidden army had a tendency to decline, it was still large, the East Garden, South Garden, North Garden, and West Garden were all set up, and the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division was fully equipped with the twelve guards and forbidden armies.
When the mighty forbidden fleet flew overhead, such a shocking scene left an indelible mark on Princess Jingsheng's heart.
At that time, the fleet inspected by Sima Xian was only more than 30,000 pieces.
And this time, the wealthy families of Yuzhou gathered 107,000 warships.
107,000 warships, not 107,000 big fat pigs.
Even if it's 107,000 big fat pigs...... Damn, 107,000 big fat pigs are running all over the ground, and it will take a few hours to catch them clean, right?
"Where did you find all this waste?" Princess Jingsheng gritted her teeth and stared at Ma Xiangru and the others viciously.
Ma Xiangru and the others bowed their heads and remained silent.
They are civil ministers, they are not military generals, although they also have cultivation power, but they have basically never fought with people in their lives. They don't know anything about the military, and they also can't understand how more than 100,000 warships, with such a huge military force, could completely collapse in just half an hour.
"Your Highness, those four hundred and twenty-five wealthy families are basically all our strength in Yuzhou. Ma Xiangru smiled dryly and bitterly: "Now, the minions under the command of the Duke of Yuzhou have closed all the space gates in and out of Yuzhou, opened the city defense array of all cities in Yuzhou, blocked all the main roads in and out, and wantonly arrested our people." β
"Their grange, their pasture, their mine, their shop, their house......" Ma Xiangru looked at Princess Jingsheng with a heartache: "That's all ...... Our...... Your Highness, Your ...... Rich!"
Princess Jingsheng pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, and then sneered.
"What are you panicking about? Ma Xiangru, aren't you the deputy hall master of the Imperial History Palace?" Princess Jingsheng stared at Ma Xiangru deadly: "Last time you sued him for losing power and land, you failed to trap him to death, this time you find a new charge to sue him, won't you?"
"And you, you, your friends in the court, your teachers, your township party, your close friends...... And those who have taken your benefits in previous years...... All the forces you can muster, mobilize them all, sue him!"
Princess Jingsheng gritted her teeth and said, "A first-class prince who has no foundation and is newly emerging, can't you still deal with him?"
"If you can't kill him, you will destroy him. Princess Jingsheng screamed a little hysterically: "In short, Yuzhou is the financial road of this father, whoever dares to touch the financial road of the palace, the palace will fight with him!"
Yuzhou is too close to Anyang City, Wu Tie is in Dongyuan, just drove the last soldier of the Dongyuan forbidden army out of the garden, and before he has time to clean up the eunuchs and palace maids in Dongyuan, Sima You's secret letter has been transmitted.
The intelligence power of the Forbidden Demon Hall is no slower than that of the Military Cardinal's Hall or Ling Hu Qingqing's secret agents.
Even the Forbidden Demon Hall is more used to monitor the internal affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the news in Yuzhou, the Forbidden Demon Palace has a more comprehensive and detailed grasp, and the efficiency of transmitting information is much higher.
Four hundred and twenty-five Yuzhou wealthy families joined forces and brazenly dispatched more than 100,000 warships to besiege Yuzhou City.
Who is the surname of the 425 wealthy families, who is the head of the family, what background does he have in the court, what backers, what relationships, what is the annual income of each wealthy family, which minister in the court is given to how much of the income is, and the in-law relationship between them, etc......
The intelligence power of the Forbidden Demon Hall can be called terrifying, and in just one hour, they pulled out the trousers of four hundred and twenty-five wealthy families...... Even how many masters of the Tibetan realm are there on the surface of these wealthy families, and whether there are still some old immortal hole cards hidden at home.
Everything was basically compiled into a book by them, and then sent to Wu Tie as quickly as possible.
Wu Tie quickly read the information sent by the Forbidden Demon Palace.
He shook the jade jue in his hand and laughed 'hehe'.
"Princess Jingsheng, Zhao Yu's wife, Zhao Zhe's mother, tsk, Zhao Zhe may have died in my hands, she didn't get angry...... I may have cut off her financial means, and she suddenly had a seizure?" Wu Tie nodded thoughtfully: "It is impossible for such a person to coexist peacefully with me. β
"Especially, Yuzhou, is my Yuzhou, my Yuzhou, there can be no outsiders to interfere. Whether it is Princess Jingsheng or the Linghu clan, or even the Ram clan, or other big families. β
Wu Tie played with the jade jue in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "It's hot, return to Yuzhou and send a message to Lao Tie." The clansmen of the 425 wealthy families were all imprisoned together, and all their family property was confiscated to the Yuzhou Mansion, and not a single hair was allowed to be missed. β
"Princess Jing Sheng is in Jiuqu Xitang...... Let's go talk to her. β
Dongyuan is only eight hundred miles away from Anyang City, Wu Tie and the others escaped quickly, and the efficiency of the Forbidden Demon Hall in transmitting news was faster than that of Ma Xiangru and others in receiving information, so Wu Tie and Ma Xiangru and others came to Jiuqu Xitang with their front and back feet.
Wearing a dark purple Duke robe, holding the Divine Emperor Decree representing Sima Xian's royal presence, Wu Tie drove straight into the Five Elements Elf Master with hundreds of fetal Tibetan realms, almost following closely behind Ma Xiangru, and broke into Princess Jingsheng's house.
"Your Highness wants to fight hard with my father? hehe, my father doesn't dare. Wu Tie happened to hear Princess Jingsheng's scolding, he immediately laughed, pushed away the two little eunuchs who were blocking in front of him with one palm, and walked onto the waterfront platform where Princess Jingsheng and the others were with a smile.
"Yuzhou Gong Huo Xiong is here, how is the princess going to fight with her father?" Wu Tie's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "The princess is delicate and expensive, and my father doesn't dare to offend, but my father is from a rough background, if the knife is on his neck...... Hey...... Do you know what real hard work is?
Ma Xiangru and others wanted to scold Wu Tie, and it was okay to violently break into a princess's residence like him, saying that he had the intention of rebellion.
Ma Xiangru is the deputy hall master of the Imperial History Palace, and he can easily charge any crime.
But seeing the Divine Emperor Order in Wu Tie's hand, Ma Xiangru and the other ministers opened their mouths and couldn't speak.
Princess Jingsheng yelled at Wu Tie like an angry lioness: "Who are you? You are, Yuzhou Gong Huo Xiong? You, you, you, bold, you actually dare to break into the palace, you are plotting against you, you ......"
A treacherous look flashed in Princess Jingsheng's eyes, and she grabbed her collar with both hands and was about to violently tear it open.
Wu Tie snorted coldly: "Your Highness, my father came here to discuss business with His Highness." If Your Highness wants to spill, hehe, you have found the wrong person. My father firmly believes that even if my father is really here today, His Majesty will not do anything to my father, do you believe it or not?"
Princess Jingsheng's hand loosened slightly, she was silent for a while, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "What kind of business?"
She was extremely annoyed, and quickly swept the Divine Emperor Order in Wu Tie's hand, and a thick look of suspicion flashed in her eyes.
She hadn't heard that Sima Xian gave the Divine Emperor's Decree to 'Huo Xiong'?
