Just when the forces of all parties in Qingyang County have been fighting fiercely in the past few months, the Shenjing of the Han Dynasty is constantly strife, and there are undercurrents surging underneath.

Located in the Palace of Eternal Life to the west of the Imperial Palace, the entire palace is made of white jade, the outer wall is carved, and the inner wall is pasted with purple tiles, which are carved with dense bizarre characters.

The iron-cast pillars in the hall are tattooed with portraits of ancient immortals cultivating, ascending, and transcending.

There is also a shadow wall made of crystal, in which there is living water flowing, and you can also see goldfish swimming in it.

The entire Changsheng Palace can be described as ingenious, wind and water, it is the current Yong'an Emperor spent a huge amount of money to build, I heard that in order to complete on time, even the northwest disaster relief silver was transferred, provoking the impeachment of the officials like snowflakes.

Since the establishment of the Eternal Life Palace, the Yong'an Emperor has been in retreat and practice here all the year round, from Yong'an 2 years to Yong'an 15 years now, there have been 13 years without stepping out of the palace, let alone going to the early court, the cabinet ministers, the six ministries and nine secretaries are also in this Eternal Life Palace to meet the emperor.

At this moment, in a side hall of the Immortal Palace, it was obviously a hot day in August, but the hall was cool.

Wu Siqi sat aside, the new head of the Han Dynasty had a thin and simple face, his eyes were slightly drooping at the moment, as if he was asleep, as if he had fallen into some kind of deep meditation.

At this moment, a eunuch in a big red robe walked out with a smile: "Pavilion Elder, the emperor called you to go." ”

Wu Siqi opened his eyes at this time, looked at the eunuch and said, "Gonggong Chen, what did the emperor say?"

The eunuch in front of him, Chen Zhongnai, is the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, the first powerful person among the eunuchs, and the great eunuch who is most favored by Emperor Yong'an.

Wu Siqi has always had a good relationship with Chen Zhong, and in the past they even formed an alliance to resist the pressure of their predecessor, the first assistant Feiyi.

Wu Siqi was responsible for confronting Feiyi in the court, and Chen Feng kept giving Feiyi eye medicine in front of the emperor.

Hearing Wu Siqi's question at this moment, Chen Feng smiled and said: "Your Majesty values the matter of the spiritual vein in Qingyang County the most, the Ding family is not a pity to die, but if your Majesty's cultivation is broken, it will be a criminal to be a monstrous criminal." ”

This time, Wu Siqi did not go through the formal procedures for the evidence of various letters and account books that Wu Wei ordered to be transmitted, because Feiyi would definitely suppress it, and it would not reach the emperor's hands at all.

So this time, he sent the music and evidence together through Chen Feng.

But Chen Feng has been figuring out the holy will all year round, and he knows it when he looks at these things...... Those things about the Ding family's collusion with demons, the border army's friendship with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and even the sale of military rations, ordnance, etc., are not the most important.

There are two things that are most likely to be targeted by the emperor, one is the Ding family, the border army and the ministers of the DPRK and China, how much silver they earn every year by smuggling.

The other is that the Ding family destroyed the spiritual vein, which caused the power of the Shenjing Feng Shui Array to weaken a little, which damaged the emperor's cultivation.

Silver and strength, this is what is most important today.

So he first presented the account books and the amount of coal dug in Meishan, which really made Long Yan angry.

At this moment, Wu Siqi listened to Gonggong Chen's admonition, nodded clearly, and followed the eunuch on the side to face the saint.

All the way to the Immortal Ascension Hall in the deepest part of the Immortal Palace, I saw a young man wearing a Taoist robe and a face like a crown of jade sitting in a golden lotus.

Wu Siqi hurriedly knelt down, but saw the young man swing his long sleeves and said, "Don't kneel, I didn't let you kneel when you came in, I asked you about it." ”

Wu Siqi stood up, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, may I ask." ”

Emperor Yongan said: "I heard that the second child of your Wu family now has almost 200,000 acres of land in the county?"

Wu Siqi immediately knelt down again: "The minister immediately asked him to retreat the land." ”

Emperor Yong'an didn't speak, and the entire hall was quiet, the air was as thick as water, and a trace of cold sweat continued to stay on Wu Siqi's head.

Although Wu Siqi has practiced martial arts for many years and is already a strong person at the level of martial arts, the Yong'an Emperor in front of him is a strong man who has broken through to the realm of Taoism with Taoism, and the "Five Songs of Diyuan" he has cultivated is known as invincible in the city with the feng shui array of Shenjing City.

Moreover, after years of retreat and cultivation, pursuing the realm above the Dao, his strength is becoming more and more unfathomable year by year.

Wu Siqi, a strong man in the Dao, stood in front of this emperor, still under the pressure of his life being controlled by others. No matter what you talk about, you will have to weaken by three points in terms of momentum.

With Emperor Yong'an chuckling, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to relax again: "Get up, don't kneel." Take care of your son, the impeachment of you is almost one person taller, and everyone outside is saying that I am pampering you as a traitor. ”

Wu Siqi knelt down and couldn't get up, and said ashamedly: "Minister...... There is no way to teach children. ”

Emperor Yong'an stood up, helped Wu Siqi who was kneeling, and then said: "How can there be a son in this world who is at fault and let his father bear it? You are now the head of the cabinet, my big housekeeper, don't kneel at every turn." ”

After speaking, Emperor Yong'an turned around and walked a few steps, and suddenly asked: "A small Ding family can make 200,000 taels of silver every year by selling smuggling." You said that if the mutual market is over, how much silver can the imperial court open source every year?"

Wu Siqi said: "According to the different goods, each has its own saying. For example, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant, and it is good at raising silkworms and weaving silk. The northern demon clan is not good at farming and weaving, but there are a lot of silver mines. A fine piece of silk can be sold for six taels of silver in the interior, and if it is opened to the mutual market, it can be sold for more than fifteen taels of silver in the northern grasslands.

The weaving bureau in Jiangnan has a total of 15,000 looms, and now the dragon clan is disturbing the coastal areas of Jiangnan, and the silk cannot be sold overseas, most of the looms have been suspended, if the silk can be transported to the north and sold to the demon clan, it can sell 100,000 horses a year, and this alone is 1.5 million taels of silver. ”

Emperor Yong'an nodded and said: "The key is to negotiate peace, and to exchange markets." Now those people outside call you the traitor Pavilion Elder and tell you to surrender to the prime minister, and the people in the Nine Border Military Town are not convinced by you, and I have blocked it for you, but what are you going to do next?"

Wu Siqi said solemnly: "Withdraw the military town and set up the government and county yamen." ”

Emperor Yong'an glanced at Wu Siqi deeply and said: "There are millions of soldiers and civilians in the Nine Border Military Town, and you will withdraw if you say withdraw?"

Wu Siqi said: "The northern military town is like a human abscess, it is incurable without deboning and fleshing, and the longer it drags on, the deeper the poison will be. ”

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "You go on." ”

After a long time, after the discussion between the monarch and the ministers, and chatting for a while, Emperor Yong'an suddenly smiled and said: "This time, the Ding family's account book and coal mining volume were all obtained by a kid named Chu Qiguang?"

Wu Siqi nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Emperor Yong'an asked again: "Does this person have meritorious fame?"

Wu Siqi knew that this was the emperor's interest in Chu Qiguang, and hurriedly said: "I don't have a reputation yet, but I heard that I plan to take the martial arts examination and serve the country." ”

Emperor Yongan laughed and said: "This person is also quite talented, he can stir up the situation in Qingyang County at a young age, especially proficient in cases and arithmetic, he is a practical talent, and he will most likely become a cadre in the future." If he enters the temple test in the coming day, I will order him a first-class one. ”

Wu Siqi knew that Chu Qiguang's name was remembered by the emperor, and with the emperor's cultivation at the level of Taoism, it was a basic ability to never forget it, so in the future, Chu Qiguang would enter the officialdom, and the emperor's good impression would be a very useful thing.

But there are pros and cons to everything, and Wu Siqi also knows that someone is deliberately releasing Chu Qiguang's name.

Chu Qiguang not only showed his head in front of the emperor, but also showed his face in front of conservative officials, and was also branded as the old Wu Ge faction, I am afraid that he will soon be regarded as a thorn in the side of some people.

And Wu Siqi originally wanted to protect Chu Qiguang and suppress his name.

At a young age, I don't know if he can handle this kind of pressure. ’

......

On the other side of Qingyang County, Chu Qiguang didn't know that his name had been remembered by the emperor, and in order to make more money at the moment, he was recalling a few photos in his memory of his previous life, and drew the appearance of the water-powered spinning machine and the water conservancy loom little by little.

But after painting for a long time, it is still only superficial, and many of the details are completely unknown.

Chu Qiguang thought with some annoyance: "Why didn't I study these things well in my last life." ’
