Chapter 158: Making a Big Trouble in Yanjing 14
But since the princess of Shu refused to obey Yelu Yujian, why did Yelu Yujian snatch the seal of her niece? The princess seal letter treasure book is just a token, which shows that it is the princess who was officially canonized by Daliao and has a title, and it is not a border seal or the like.
You must know that the Liao Kingdom is different from the Nanren court, even if you are born as the emperor's biological daughter, it can only mean that you have the qualifications to be a princess, but you are not a princess, just a princess. Unless you wait until the emperor is officially canonized, with the title, this can be recognized by the whole country. is like Yelu Yanxi, who was deposed as the king of Xiangyin, in addition to Yelu Yuliyan, the princess of Shu, there are five daughters, but none of them are princesses.
It's just that the princess seal letter only proves that you have been officially canonized as a princess, and it can't be used for other purposes.
Xiao Puxian couldn't help but mutter, "What's the use of snatching this seal? …… This seal ......"
Yelufonu, who was standing below, reminded softly, "Niangniang...... Mother......
When Xiao Puxian heard this, she hurriedly looked up at Yelu Fonu, and Yelu Fonu said, "Niangniang forgot? The seal of the princess of Shu is sealed, but there is a real seal. That's the territorial token of Miyun and Xingtang counties received by Danzhou. At that time, the king of Xiangyin gave the two counties of Miyun and Xingtang under the jurisdiction of Danzhou under the jurisdiction of Nanjing Dao to the princess of Shu as a territory, and only let Nanjing Dao receive an empty name of Danzhou. ”
When Xiao Puxian heard what Yelu Buddha Nu said, she remembered that although Da Liao no longer allowed the fiefs of the military states under the kings and princesses, let alone any nobles and ministers to build cities privately, and even her favorite two princes, King Qin and King Jin, were not allowed to give fiefs, but they were given the territories of the two counties of Yelu Yuliyan, the princess of Shu.
Other princes, princesses, and ministers, even if they have fiefs, they are all nominal, and local people and officials will not take care of you at all, and the fief is that the court will send you more rice and cloth, and it has no effect on other than that. But it's different for this Yelu Yu Liyan, not to mention the fief of two counties at once, it is still a real fief, except for the symbolic dispatch of a county, the rest of the officials and affairs are all at the mercy of the princess of Shu.
The most important thing is that in addition to the symbolic collection of half of the salt tax, the imperial court means to tell the people in the fiefdom that this is also the territory of Da Liao. The rest of the taxes, such as land taxes, iron taxes, wine taxes, etc., are not collected by the state, and they are all collected by the territory itself.
This is too much of a daughter, right?!
In addition to the princess of Shu in this dynasty, let alone the real territory, there is no case of a virtual territory. That is, in the previous dynasty, like the Jingzong Dynasty, the eldest princess of the Qin State, Yelu Guanyin, got married, and the queen Xiao Yanyan gave the eldest princess a state and 10,000 slaves as a dowry. Since the Holy Sect Dynasty, it has rarely been sealed again. And a territory like this is even more generous than the military state under the head in the early years, and the military state under the head still has to collect the field endowment, and the princess of Shu does not even collect the field endowment in the territory. The Lower Military Prefecture is only around Shangjing, and the rest of the local laws are not allowed to build a Lower Military Prefecture with a castle. It can be said that the territory of the princess of Shu is also extremely peculiar.
Over the years, these two counties have inherited the kindness of the princess, only collecting extremely low taxes, although it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, known as "eight mountains, one water and one field", but the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment, the people of Wufu are abundant, and every household is grateful to the princess of the Shu Kingdom, as Guanyin Bodhisattva in general.
The terrain of Danzhou is dangerous, the east, north and west are surrounded by mountains, only the terrain in the southeast is slightly slower, but it is also high in the north and low in the south, Danzhou is an important checkpoint connecting Yanjing and Zhongjing and other places, in and out of the pass, it has always been called the place where the key of the Beijing division is locked, the ancient north mouth of Danzhou is the fortress of the Great Wall, it is the throat leading to Nanjing Road outside the pass, the mountain is steep and the road is dangerous, the terrain is dangerous, it has always been the place where the soldiers must fight.
There is territory, there are people, there is more food and money, and there is such a piece of fat inside and outside the customs, no wonder Yelu Yudu wants to eat it. Even Xiao Puxian's heart moved, but it was hard to say.
"Captain Li is asking to see you outside the palace." The eunuch came in and said to Xiao Puxian.
"Come in with him." Xiao Puxian took the tea bowl and drank ginseng tea, like her grade, she really didn't have the energy to stay up late and hurt herself, now she just wants to go back to sleep as soon as possible.
The neatly dressed Li Chuwen walked in, first saluted Xiao Puxian, and then asked, "I don't know what happened when the mother summoned her late at night?" ”
Xiao Puxian asked with a tired face: "There are dozens of thieves who are making trouble outside the imperial city tonight, I guess Taiwei Li knows, right?" ”
Li Chuwen replied: "The minister has sent Sima Infantry to patrol the city, block the city gate, and search for the whole city. Unexpectedly, this anti-thief still alarmed the mother, which is the crime of Weichen. ”
Xiao Puxian shook her head slightly, and said: "Dozens of thieves have infiltrated the capital, and it is really necessary to rectify the city defense and strictly investigate; It's just another thing, tonight's rebellion seems to be for the princess of Shu, I heard that in addition to the thieves and the princess's palace guards, there are several unknown people involved in it to save the princess. Does Taiwei Li know where these people are from? ”
Li Chuwen heard Xiao Puxian's daughter directly ask about the people who rescued the princess, and hurriedly said: "Wechen is ashamed, the identities of these people have not been found out yet, and Wechen is guilty." ”
Xiao Puxiannu Zhengse said: "The current situation is really eventful, the emperor's health is not safe, and Taiwei Li, as the emperor's minister, should share his worries for the monarch and solve problems for the country." After a pause, he said, "Captain Li must take down all the people who make trouble, and correct the law; Although her father was demoted to the king of Xiangyin, her title as a princess has not been abolished, and she is still a royal family, so she should not be treated slowly, and the whereabouts of the princess will be found out, and the court will also be slightly favorable. Don't be said by the people of the country that the court is unkind. ”
"The mother is very worried. Wechen will do it. Li Chuwen bowed and withdrew.
"Buddha slave," seeing that Li Chuwen had gone out, Xiao Pu asked in a low voice: "Xiao Gan, the king of the four armies, and that big stone forest tooth have returned to the capital?" ”
"Back to Niangniang, I only sent someone to deliver the letter the day before yesterday, and it should be here in the next two days." Jeruphnu replied.
"Send someone again, urge the two of you, and return to Beijing as soon as possible." Xiao Puxian said in a low voice: "If the emperor really returns to heaven, no one in this capital will be able to suppress this Li Chuwen." Tonight, he didn't come to report the arrest of the thief, and he punished it on his own, after all, the Han people and our clan are not of the same mind. ”
Jeruphnu just listened quietly and didn't dare to say a word.
"Now there is the matter of the princess of Shu Kingdom, if the Jin people really get the princess's seal letter, or the princess is rescued by the southerners, then it will be a matter of time for the Yanjing City of Daliao to be guaranteed."
