Chapter 723: Deceived (Three Watches)
The treasures and treasures sent by Ling Changzhi to Jianzhou were robbed!
The robbers were most likely Yan Yunge's navy.
As soon as the news came out, the world shook!
"Yan Yunge is arrogant!"
"Southern Wei is finished!"
"At this moment, there is a chance that the imperial court will have to retreat. Unexpectedly, Yan Yunge really passed the most difficult level. ”
"It's incredible. Where did she have the courage to rob the court's goods. ”
"Because of the war, the trade between Jianzhou and Binh Duong County has decreased by more than eighty percent. Today, Shaofu's income mainly comes from Ling Changzhi leading troops to loot**. It has accumulated for more than half a year, and the amount spent by the imperial court in the second half of the year has been robbed. Tsk, Yan Yunge really dares to think and dare to do! “
The Southern Wei Dynasty was wealthy, but the expenses were also large.
Without the taxes of the three counties, and without the full salt and sugar taxes, the finances of the Southern Wei court were somewhat stretched.
Fortunately, Ling Changzhi plundered in ** and replenished the losses in time to ensure the normal operation of the Southern Wei court, with enough money and food to support the troops, and to fight on two fronts.
The court and government of the Southern Wei Dynasty are accustomed to the days of money, so it is difficult for everyone to tighten their belts and live a life!
Therefore, when the news of the looting of goods was spread by people with good intentions, and became known to the whole world, everyone from the court to the government panicked.
Goods are looted, what to do in the second half of the year?
Can the expenses of the imperial court, the government and the young government support it?
And this year, with floods and droughts, the autumn harvest will definitely be reduced, and taxes will be reduced.
The implication......
The imperial court urgently needed this batch of financial support to tide over the difficulties, so as not to increase taxes and oppress the small people.
The house leak happened to rain overnight!
The goods have been robbed, hurry up and find a way!
The struggle for the national capital must continue, and we must not relax.
The issue of retiring soldiers should also be put on the agenda to reduce expenses.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, Mr. Grain and Grass.
Since ancient times, wars have been fought with money and food, and the consumption is huge, absolutely astronomical.
"Retire!"
"I have been fighting with Yan Yunge for almost a year, and it was not until this year that Master Cui Zhicui took office, and there was some progress. However, with the looting of goods and natural disasters, there is no longer any need to continue this battle. Wechen implored His Majesty to order the withdrawal of troops. ”
"Please give your Majesty's order to withdraw the troops!"
Retreating is the best policy!
As soon as the army is withdrawn, the people can return home, the consumption of grain and grass will drop sharply, and the salaries of the soldiers can also be delayed, saving a lot of expenses.
All in all, not fighting is the same as saving money.
To fight a war is to lose.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen was of course unwilling to withdraw from the army.
Cui Zhi is very capable, and under his command, the southern army is fighting steadily and steadily, encroaching on the guard camp little by little.
It only takes a little more time, and the three counties are just around the corner.
Why did Yan Yunge send people to loot the goods, because she was in a hurry, she couldn't support it anymore, so she could only make this decision.
How could she get her wish?
The people who said that they were going to send troops to attack Yan Yunge were these courtiers.
The people who are now demanding to retire are also these courtiers.
People are them, and ghosts are them.
It is they who are actively preparing for the war, and they are also dragging their feet.
It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose.
"Withdrawing at this time is tantamount to abandoning all the previous achievements. Hugh is going to talk nonsense! ”
"Then please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to take back the three county kings and set the prince!"
"Ridiculous!"
Another time the monarch and the ministers parted unhappily.
The court discussions could not be carried out, and the problem of money and food urgently needed to be resolved.
The courtiers persevered and asked the emperor to set the national capital and take back the three county kings to be the first emperor's kindness.
Even Empress Dowager Tao is adding to the chaos, arguing all day long for a few days to live.
I just want to tease my grandson and meet my three grandchildren before I die.
……
Princess Chengyang asked someone to bring a message to Emperor Xiao Chengwen.
She is willing to donate money and goods to share the worries of the court and the emperor.
There is only one condition, please ask the emperor to agree to take back the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian and the king of Bushan County, or to change a rich land for the mother and son as a fief.
"What does she want to do? Take advantage of the fire to rob and blackmail me? ”
Emperor Xiao Chengwen's anger rose.
These days, Princess Chengyang, who has been low-key and out of the limelight, actually came out at this time.
Smash him with money, dignified emperor!
He laughed angrily, "Sure enough, it's getting more and more lawless! ”
"Your Majesty is angry! Your Majesty, take care of yourself. ”
Looking at the emperor's flushed cheeks, Grandpa Fei was worried.
He's afraid!
I'm afraid that the emperor will make old mistakes.
When the time comes, it is really difficult to predict what the outcome of the national capital dispute will be.
Emperor Xiao Chengwen slammed his fist on the table, "You go and ask Princess Chengyang in person, who gave her the courage to take the opportunity to blackmail me?" Is she looking for death? ”
"Your Majesty really wants the old slave to question? In case it alarms the courtiers, it will be another mess. ”
"If I tell you to go, you'll go, what are you going to do? Do you also think that I should take back the three county kings? ”
"Your Majesty is angry, the old slave has no such thoughts. The throne belongs to His Majesty, and only His Majesty's heirs can inherit the throne. ”
"What are you doing standing there, get out of here!"
"No!"
……
Grandpa Fei took people and came to the princess's mansion with great momentum.
Questioned Princess Chengyang on behalf of the emperor.
Where did you dare to blackmail the emperor and look for death?
Zhong Juma trembled with fear, he was just timid, and he was naturally afraid of imperial power.
Princess Chengyang's eyebrows were raised, not afraid at all.
"Grandpa Fei's good breeze! This palace sincerely shares the worries of His Majesty and takes the initiative to donate money, what's the matter, can't you make a little request? ”
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is really good at laughing. It is a matter of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian and the mother and son of the king of Bushan County, which is not a small request. Matters concerning mother and son are never trivial. In order to fight for the country, the court is in an uproar, Her Royal Highness the princess does not want to share the worries for Her Majesty, but also takes the initiative to add to the chaos, what crime should she be guilty of? ”
"Fuck you! In the eyes of this palace, one of their mother and son is the daughter of this palace, and the other is the grandson of this palace. What kind of country, this palace doesn't care and doesn't care, and it's not rare. As a mother and grandmother, this palace just wants to give their mother and son a place with good conditions, which is also wrong? ”
"Of course it's wrong! Involving the whole body, Her Royal Highness the princess is a royal family, and she should understand that nothing in the royal family is a personal matter, but involves all aspects. The court is unstable, and the Great Wei is shaken, what is the benefit to you? ”
Syllable!
Princess Chengyang slapped the table and scolded angrily, "Grandpa Fei, you don't want to point at the nose of the palace and scold." Although you are a person close to Your Majesty, it does not mean that you can wantonly humiliate this palace. ”
Father-in-law Fei's face was expressionless, "Our family is asking Her Royal Highness the princess for Your Majesty today, what are your intentions?" His Majesty remembered the old feelings, and he had never felt sorry for Her Royal Highness the Princess or the Zhong family over the years. However, if Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Zhong family don't know what to do, and they have to cause trouble to Your Majesty, Your Majesty can only not remember the old feelings, and regret it ruthlessly! ”
Princess Chengyang was furious.
She stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and wanted to take a fee.
Zhong Juma's eyes were quick, and he quickly stopped her.
At the same time, he apologized, "Forgive me Gonggong Fei, Your Highness, she has been upset these days, and she doesn't know what she is saying or doing." The previous words were all unintentional. Father-in-law Fei can rest assured that the Princess Mansion and the Zhong family will never cause trouble to His Majesty. We will do whatever Your Majesty tells us to do. ”
Grandpa Fei nodded with satisfaction.
Princess Chengyang was furious, and she opened her mouth to scold.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Juma was so bold that he actually covered her mouth and made her speechless.
Princess Chengyang's mouth couldn't be used, so she stepped directly on the instep of Zhongyuma's foot and stepped very hard.
The middle horse was in pain, grinning in pain, which was really ridiculous and pitiful.
Grandpa Fei coughed lightly, "Her Royal Highness the princess looks like this, it's a little crazy!" The concubine should care more about Her Royal Highness the princess, and if you need a doctor, just send someone to squeak. ”
While trying his best to stop Princess Chengyang, Zhong Yuma smiled awkwardly: "Don't worry, Gonggong Fei, I will definitely be optimistic about Her Royal Highness the Princess, and I will not let her go out and talk nonsense, let alone cause trouble to Your Majesty." ”
"So good! The horse is well aware of the righteousness, which is the blessing of the Zhong family and the blessing of the imperial court. After our family returns to the palace, we will report it truthfully, and I believe that Your Majesty will also understand the difficulties of the concubine and not embarrass the Zhong family. ”
"Thank you, Grandpa Fei. It's inconvenient for me, so I won't send my father-in-law out. ”
"You're busy, we know the way, and we can get out. The colt must take care of Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”
"Grandpa Fei, don't worry, everything is on me."
Grandpa Fei left satisfied.
Princess Chengyang finally broke free from the middle horse's restraints.
With a wave of his hand, it was a slap in the face.
Middle-Horse: "......"
With unimaginable speed, he successfully dodged the slap and distanced the two.
In this way, Princess Chengyang can't beat him.
"You stop at Hongu! I was so bold that I dared to cover my mouth and not let this palace speak. This palace has to teach you a lesson......"
Of course, the middle colt refused to stand.
He was aggrieved, and he repeatedly emphasized, "I did this for the good of the princess." If the princess and Father-in-law Fei quarrel, it will not do any good, but will attract Jin Wuwei. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the bookmaker. If you really want to attract Jin Wuwei, what do you say? ”
"This palace doesn't care what he does. Could it be that Jin Wuwei still has the courage to kill this palace! Is it wrong for this palace to donate money? Is it wrong for this palace to plan for his daughter's grandson? ”
"Grandpa Fei has made it clear, don't cause trouble to Your Majesty, you can stop it!"
"Shut up! You're also here to teach this palace a lesson, you're fat! You stop at this palace, and this palace has to clean you up today. ”
Princess Chengyang was angry.
Zhong Juma was in a hurry, and suddenly roared, "Princess, you fell for Yan Yunge." She's lying to you! ”
These words successfully diverted Princess Chengyang's attention.
"Does the princess remember what you said at the beginning? Yan Yunge looted the goods, and if you take the initiative to help Your Majesty share your worries, you can achieve your goal and let Shuyun's mother and son return to Jianzhou. Now, it is clear that His Majesty will not let Shuyun's mother and son come back.
Yan Yunge deceived the princess and deceived everyone! Her fundamental purpose is not to take back the three county kings, but to provoke a dispute over the country's capital and force His Majesty to withdraw his troops! ”
