Chapter Eighty-Eight: King Ye's Calculations
Ye Wangfu
King Ye pinched the secret letter in his hand and paced back and forth.
"Uncle Qin, how is King Lu's side?"
"King Lu does not leave the palace, but the requirements are becoming more and more absurd, from the previous daily requirements for beautiful women to serve women, and the maids in the palace are also up and down, these days have killed three women in Tianxianglou. One of them was often summoned by King Lu, and after sending someone to follow her, it was found that this woman was an orphan girl in the Western Regions, and secretly delivered news to King Lu. "Uncle Qin, the housekeeper, will report truthfully." has been sending people to follow, can the prince take down this woman and intercept the news?"
King Ye didn't speak, and the hand holding the secret letter tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened. Kyoto replied that the more chaotic the Western Regions, the more favorable it would be to the Celestial Empire. In the letter, he asked Princess Naning to be safe and sound in the Celestial Empire, and at the same time let King Lu leave safely. Not only can this King Lu not move, but he also has to make a good offering, and then let him go back safely.
"Let people intercept the news, let people monitor and prevent King Lu from contacting the outside world, remember not to reveal your identity." King Lu's injuries have healed for the most part, as long as he is not allowed to contact the outside world, he does not send guests, and the guests can't sit still. If King Ye doesn't send the guests, then the guests can only ask for it themselves. "King Lu wants to meet the things as much as possible, in the name of guarding, even in the palace to follow day and night. Let people go to Tianxianglou to pay some silver and appease and appease. ”
"Don't worry, Tianxianglou has been pacified, and they don't know that it is the person who Ye Wangfu wants."
King Ye bowed his head, Uncle Qin has always done things properly.
"Where's the Divine Monarch?"
"The Divine Monarch sent someone to report that the locust plague in East Lake is a business opportunity, and the Divine Monarch has arranged it to let people hoard grain."
"No, Long Haotian is in East Lake, let the Divine Monarch not move, even if the price of our grain shop rises in this locust plague, it must not rise by more than thirty percent." King Ye felt that the eyes of the imperial court had been paying close attention to the southern border recently, "What about other merchants, how about our grain store, don't expose it." ”
"Yes, lord." Uncle Qin thought about it, King Ye's concerns were indeed reasonable, "The grain shop still needs to stock up on grain, I will keep an eye on it personally, and don't control the rise and fall of the price too much, so as not to be noticed by the imperial court." ”
"Okay."
"Lord, Princess Naning has gone all the way south, and is currently in Nanyue County, the princess's maid pawned this, and it is estimated that the entanglement has been exhausted." Uncle Qin took out an object, which was Princess Naning's bracelet.
King Ye took the bracelet, and sure enough, it was in the hands of Princess Naning, and it seemed that he was going to meet Naning again.
"Uncle Qin, I will leave the house in the next few days, if King Lu wants to see me, just say that I am not there, if he wants to leave, send gold and silver to escort him. Remember, to keep the Ye Wangfu like a copper wall, not even a single mosquito can fly in. King Ye took the secret letter into his arms, "After the locust plague, everything is bullish, remember that the price of houses in the south can rise, but it can't rise randomly, and the south can't be chaotic." Take my token, pass it on to the prefect, and let him see it. ”
King Ye is the king of the southern realm, and no matter what the chaos in the southern realm is, King Ye is condemned by the imperial court. However, the Celestial Empire stipulates that the imperial family cannot do business, and King Ye has a large number of people, and a huge group needs money to operate. In fact, not only King Ye, but other royal princes are actually doing business in secret. This locust plague occurred in the southern border, which belonged to King Ye, and King Ye not only couldn't let chaos occur in the south, but also had to spend money on disaster relief and pacification if necessary, in order to have a good reputation.
"Businesses outside the southern border, the price should rise, let the grain merchants outside the southern border hoard grain and quietly transport it to the southern border."
"Let people keep an eye on the East Lake, and report it at any time."
"The prince has been making frequent moves recently, and he has also sent people to keep an eye on it."
"Let the Divine Monarch concentrate on the arrangements in the Eastern Realm, and he won't have to worry about the East Lake."
"Yes." King Ye handed over a series of arrangements to Uncle Qin, and Uncle Qin responded one by one.
"In addition, send someone to East Lake to express condolences on behalf of King Ye's Mansion, and see if there is any need on the East Lake, meaning to donate some silver taels." King Ye added. "Where is the East Lake Baicao Hall, if Gongzi Wei and Doctor Lin have needs, they will try their best to meet them, and show favor on behalf of the Ye Wangfu." Of course, it would be best if you could win over Hyakkudo, but if you can't, you must also maintain a good relationship.
With the secret order, King Ye must protect the safety of King Lu and Princess Naning, at least the problem must not be in the south. Although the affairs of Yidonghu are urgent, there is the prefect in charge, and his most important thing is to have a round with Princess Naning, escort her back to Beijing safely, and cultivate feelings.
King Ye looked at the bracelet in his hand, although this Princess Naning is close and not pretentious, not arrogant, and has no young lady's temper, she is much more interesting than the daughter of the Heavenly Dynasty, but after all, she is young and has little experience... If only she had ... King Ye remembered that the woman in Donghu, known as Wei Gongzi, was smart and easy-going, clever and affectionate, and even a man sighed for her own courage, which could exude a different kind of charm, but unfortunately she had no identity background, so she could only be a confidant. However, it would be excellent if he could have such a red face, but unfortunately there was a Long Haotian by his side. What he worries about must also be what Long Haotian is worried about, if Long Haotian is too good with Wei Gongzi, I'm afraid that the one in Kyoto will not agree.
