Chapter 269: The endgame is hard to collect
Through He Yan's narration, Qin Nianbai basically understood the affairs of the soldiers that day.
The Bai family launched a mutiny on the same day, and joined forces with the three princes to enter the capital.
But at a critical moment, the four great families suddenly turned against each other and sided with them.
Originally, at the beginning, the Bai family forced each other with the lives of the sons of the four families, and if they didn't want to, this poisonous plan had already been dismantled by He Yan's faction.
In addition, all the soldiers transferred by the Bai family from all over the country pointed at each other, just because the soldiers only listened to the orders of the soldiers, so the main generals replaced by the Bai family lost their role!
The last escape route of the Bai family, under the leadership of Xiaoxi, arranged people in advance......
This is the end of a rebellion that has been planned for many years!
He ...... How is he? Qin Nianbai asked with some hesitation.
He Yan hugged her in his arms and sighed, "It's just that he is from the Bai family......"
He felt a little empty in his heart, when Bai Fan died, he was at the scene, and he still remembered the scene at that time.
The soldiers and horses from all walks of life suddenly turned their heads, and the Bai family knew that the big event had gone, and when they saw that the main general was He Yan, they were shocked and angry, especially Bai Fan.
At that time, he didn't know that the person in the sedan chair was Concubine Bai Shufei, and he didn't think about taking Zhaoyang as a hostage.
General Bai seemed to know that his son was soft-hearted, so he only ordered the white wolf to catch the bride in the sedan chair.
In order to force He Yan to withdraw from the army, the white wolf carried the fake Qin Nianbai in his hands.
The Bai family retreated to the roof of the tallest restaurant in the capital and confronted the prince's men.
He Yan and others were in hot pursuit.
As soon as the Bai family saw that they were at the end of the road, they thought that the only way was to make He Yan's mind collapse, so they planned to kill Qin Nianbai first.
Just when the white wolf raised his sword to kill Qin Nianbai, who was dressed in a red wedding dress, Bai Fan stepped forward to block it, and was pierced through the back of the heart by a sword, and died on the spot!
General Bai went berserk and rushed up to wipe the fake princess's neck with a sword.
When the fake Qin Nianbai fell, the person, the leather mask fell off, revealing the appearance of Bai Shufei.
General Bai was so angry that he almost mixed up, and in the end, the white wolf escaped with him on his back, wanting to escape outside through the secret passage, but was squatted by Xiaoxi with Sun Yong and others.
Xiaoxi and the white wolf died together, and General Bai was also captured alive and hanged himself on the skylight in prison.
The Bai family and the Li family were also asked to cut the noon door......
In the past few days, the officials who participated in the rebellion have been investigated, most of them have been questioned and exiled, and the number of officials in the DPRK and China has dropped sharply.
News came from the border again, because the army was transferred, and the border people were harassed by the bandits.
It was an eventful time, and he probably couldn't continue to be by Qin Nianbai's side, and he felt guilty in his heart!
"I want to pay my respects to him." Qin Nianbai suddenly said lightly.
He Yan nodded and dropped a kiss on her forehead, "In a few days, I will go with you, by the way, everything has been taken care of in the house, and I am still waiting for you, the hostess, to go back and preside over the feed!" ”
"Okay, you go get busy, I'm done cleaning up, I'll go and talk to my grandmother and father, and wait for you to come back!" Qin Nianbai wrapped his arms around his neck and smiled sweetly.
Now, he can finally live a stable life, and when He Yan is busy for a while, he is still ready to make up for a birthday banquet for Ping'an!
……
In the imperial study, the prince and the emperor have been waiting for He Yan for a long time, if he didn't know that he went to see Zhaoyang, the emperor would probably say that he was pampered and arrogant.
"Yonghou has arrived~" The little eunuch at the door shouted loudly.
The great eunuch Wang Xi came to the door, led He Yan in, and asked with a smile on his face: "Yonghou is from the Phoenix Palace, His Royal Highness Zhaoyang is okay!" ”
The thief was eliminated, Wang Xi was also released, in the past few months, if it weren't for His Royal Highness Zhaoyang, he would have died with hatred in the humiliation of that day, and he would not have had the opportunity to return to the emperor and continue to be the chief manager.
It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that His Royal Highness Zhaoyang is his recreated parent!
As soon as he came back, he hurried over to serve, for fear that the emperor would dislike him and remove him from his position as the chief manager, so he didn't have time to go to the harem, thank Princess Zhaoyang for saving her life!
Now that he met Yonghou, he couldn't help but ask.
"She's very good, thank you father-in-law for your concern." He Yan said gently.
During Qin Nianbai's time in the palace, he was very pleased to be able to get a few sincere people.
As they spoke, the two of them entered the imperial study.
"Weichen see the emperor, the prince, long live the emperor, the prince is a thousand years old!" He Yan held his hand and saluted politely.
The prince smiled and went over to help him up, and the emperor also let him take a seat.
Now that the treasury is empty and the border is unstable, General Yang has gone back to guard the town non-stop.
Once a foreign enemy comes to attack, the first thing to bear the brunt is to ask for grain and grass, a rebellion, the people are miserable, if you increase taxes at this time, you will lose the hearts of the people! A thousand books
There is also a result in the court, that is, additional taxes!
This matter is not over yet, officials from all over the country and the Bai and Li families are widely implicated, and they have all been uprooted, and there are vacancies in official positions everywhere.
Tell me about it, you two, if you can solve even one of them! The emperor's face was full of sadness, and he knocked on the table as he spoke.
None of these three things are immediate, and they are imminent!
After several days of discussion, there was no useful result, so he simply closed the door and asked the prince and Yonghou what they really thought.
He Yan and the crown prince also frowned, they didn't think about these problems in private, and they were looking for some methods, but there was nothing they could do at the moment.
It is said that money can make ghosts grind, and if the treasury is empty, there is no problem with grain and grass.
Moreover, it takes a certain amount of time to convene candidates from all over the country to enter Beijing to take the exam, and it will take half a year to select talents as soon as possible!
"Prince, what problem do you solve first?" The emperor looked at the crown prince and asked with a serious expression.
The crown prince will succeed to the throne in the future, if he doesn't even have any way to solve these problems, then his position as the crown prince will also be suspended!
The prince paused, and arched his hand: "Back to my father, the sons and daughters think that the first thing is to settle inside and outside, and there is General Yang Lao to lead troops to guard the border, and the Hu people have not yet understood the domestic situation, so they dare not act easily, and they can delay it for a year and a half for the time being, and it also provides some buffer time for my dynasty." ”
"Well, good idea, keep talking!" The emperor was satisfied, raised his head and nodded, sat back on the dragon chair, and let the prince continue.
"Erchen thinks that during this buffer time, the talents can be selected first, the candidates from all over the country can be notified, and some subsidies will be given to solve the problem of entanglement of some poor candidates! The selected talents will be trained by the cabinet bachelors, and they will quickly become familiar with the vacant official positions in various places......" the prince said.
The emperor was very satisfied with his idea, and then asked him to hurry down and ask someone to hurry up.
The matter of taxation was in a hurry, and he did not force the prince to come up with an idea immediately.
This side of Shoukang Palace.
Qin Nianbai came over to have dinner with the Queen Mother, and mentioned that today, He Yan came to see her and asked her to go back to the Hou Mansion.
thought that the Queen Mother would keep her, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to happily let her go back quickly.
The queen mother is a person who has come over, and she knows the crooks in this inner house, and the hostess is not at home, so it is inevitable that there will be some people who do not know how to measure their hearts and are higher than the sky.
"Well, it's time to go back, it's okay that you little couple can't be separated again, just come back to see your grandmother often in the future!"
Qin Nianbai deliberately coquettish, "Grandmother, is this going to drive Zhaoyang back?" ”
What she is most reluctant to do is this imperial grandmother who treats her as close as her life!
"Silly boy, if the mourning family detains you, the Hou Ye should have an opinion, besides, let you two meet secretly, the mourning family will not be happy!" The Queen Mother said with a smile while serving her vegetables.
She had already guessed the first few times, but she hadn't pierced the layer of window paper.
Qin Nianbai's face turned red when he brushed it, and he lowered his head and gulped down to relieve his embarrassment, his grandmother was really a god, and this kind of thing was also guessed by him.
She ate too quickly, and was accidentally choked, her coughing eyes were red and tearful, and her face was red from the beginning.
"Quick, quick, get water!" The Queen Mother anxiously said to the palace maid who was waiting for dinner, and quickly patted her back, and said distressedly: "This child, what are you doing in such a hurry!" ”
The palace maid brought tea, Qin Nianbai took a few sips, and his throat calmed down a little.
"My daughter and grandson are fine!" When she found that the Queen Mother was looking at her distressedly, she felt a little guilty in her heart.
After eating, Qin Nianbai took the Queen Mother to walk around the garden, so that she could eat.
The Queen Mother's eyebrows and eyes were slightly wrinkled, and her complexion was not as soothing as before.
Qin Nianbai knew that her grandmother must have something to worry about, she thought it was her recklessness just now that made her grandmother worry in the future.
took the queen mother's hand and asked her to forgive, and the queen mother told her that it was not because of that little thing that she was worried about, but about the previous dynasty.
"The mourning family is worried about the court, since the establishment of our dynasty, this is the first time such a situation has happened, a little careless, I am afraid that there will be a big mess!" The Queen Mother sighed and said sadly.
If this hurdle cannot be overcome, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary movement and chaos, and foreign enemies will take advantage of the weakness!
"I don't know much about the affairs of the DPRK recently! But what happened? Qin Nianbai asked suspiciously.
He Yan said today that the rebellion has been suppressed, and the rebel army has already captured Fufa, what major things have not been done?
The Queen Mother sighed again and told her three important things about the court.
"The treasury is empty, and my granddaughter has a good idea here, but it is a little difficult to implement this method!" Qin Nianbai said calmly.
The Queen Mother asked her to continue.
Qin Nianbai paused: "That is, starting from the palace, the harem has a planned reduction, and tens of thousands of taels can be saved in a month."
If it is the concubines of the palace, it is a good amount of money to take out some private use, so as to emulate, so that the officials of the DPRK and China can contribute generously according to their own conditions, and then promote it to the merchants and wealthy families in various places......
After careful calculation, the problem of the emptiness of the treasury can be easily solved! ”
This method is still in her previous life, she used it in the house, but she didn't expect that it is also feasible in big places.
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and her eyes were irrepressibly praising and loving Qin Nianbai.
